He missed it again. The severe pain caused by the sprint made Shen Lin collapse to the ground, and all his muscles were twitching.
He walked along this road for more than an hour, and finally found the shadow of the ghost bus. However, he still missed it by a few seconds.
Like fate's teasing, like God's teasing, not getting what he asked for or not being able to get what he wanted could be the right way to describe everything Shen Lin is experiencing right now.
He watched helplessly as the young people boarded the ghost bus. The door did not wait for him, closed and drove slowly, and finally disappeared into this space.
There is a high probability that those young people will die. The ghost bus is full of powerful ghosts, and they have experienced very ferocious supernatural areas. Yang Jian has narrowly escaped death several times. The survival of ordinary people depends on great luck. .
After two hours, Shen Lin passed by the ghost bus twice, and he now felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Thinking on the bright side, at least his route was correct. He had secretly found some traces of the ghost bus.
Thinking at the worst, it would be great luck to meet two ghost buses. He might die on this quest because of his resuscitation.
The ghost's resurrection is close at hand, maybe in an hour, maybe in the next second. Shen Lin's suppression has gradually lost its effectiveness, and the ghost in his body is about to wake up.
With no time to waste, Shen Lin struggled to get up and hit the road again.
The young people's cars were still there. Shen Lin had no intention of driving away. Finding the ghost bus had nothing to do with speed. He needed to figure it out slowly.
This road seemed endless in the dark night. Shen Lin was walking on this endless road like a zombie. The flickering street lights gradually returned to normal as the ghost bus left. Under the only light, Shen Lin's gradually elongated eyes were reflected. shadow.
Submerged in darkness.
His speed began to slow down, and suppressing the ghost phase took up a lot of Shen Lin's energy, but his eyes remained firm.
Few people who survived the ghost incident were weak-willed, and those who could not be used died early in the ghost incident.
Ghost controllers may be neurotic, may have secondary illnesses, and may be rampant, but without exception, they are much more outstanding than ordinary people in some aspects.
The road finally ended at what seemed to be a crossroads, with a sign indicating the direction to the city ahead.
Shen Lin stepped forward and followed the route of the ghost bus. If he predicted well, he might encounter the bus again at a bus stop in the city center.
This requires some luck.
Shen Lin's steps resumed and he slowly approached the intersection. The street lights around him flickered on and off, as if foreshadowing something, which forced Shen Lin to stop and observe.
There is nothing special happening around. The problem with the street lights may simply be due to a short circuit.
After understanding this, Shen Lin turned his head, but his pupils suddenly dilated.
Something suddenly appeared at the originally bare intersection.
That's a scarecrow, no, an old man! An old man who looks like a scarecrow.
His upper body was the image of a shriveled old man, and his lower body looked like a very ordinary bamboo pole. At first glance, it looked like the bamboo pole had penetrated the human body, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
The old man's decayed hands were opened 180 degrees like a scarecrow, and his half-closed eyes were staring at Shen Lin, flickering under the flickering street lights. The whole scene was very scary.
Ghost shows the way! Shen Lin was shocked.
This is a ghost he once saw on the supernatural forum at the headquarters. At that time, all the people who appeared in the video died without exception.
Rumor has it that this ghost has a very high level of terror, and several teams of ghost masters have fallen prey to it.
He actually appeared here, and Shen Lin suddenly felt his scalp numb.
The house leaked and it rained all night, so he encountered this ghost at this time.
Calm down, calm down, Shen Lin kept telling himself.
News and files about this ghost have been circulating in the public for a long time. It is officially classified as Class C, and its danger level is not high.
Its rules have also been explored clearly through countless attempts.
The ghost guide will point you in a direction the moment you encounter it. If you don't go, it will trigger the law of instant death. So far, there is no record of surviving from the ghost guide in the archives.
The direction pointed by the ghost's guiding finger can withstand great scrutiny. Most ghost controllers believe that there must be dangerous events in that direction that pose a certain threat to the parties concerned.
This event varies from person to person. For ordinary people, it may be a disaster, but for a ghost controller, it may be an extremely terrifying event.
Shen Lin once saw a video on a forum, in which a drunken middle-aged man walked in the direction pointed by a ghost in a daze, and then met with misfortune.
The file shows that he was involved in a series of car accidents and died on the spot.
Ghost Guide presents a dilemma.
Either you face the danger, or you face its horror.
The official information never said what would happen if you stood still. It might be possible to confront the ghost by standing still and not moving, but Shen Lin didn't have the time at the moment.
The ghost is about to revive, and he needs to get away as soon as possible to find the ghost bus.
You can't fight head-on. Shen Lin confirmed this immediately. The level of terror of Ghost Guide is very high. The evil ghosts who have killed several teams of ghost controllers cannot be explained by ordinary theories. Shen Lin expected that he would face this situation during the heyday of computing. Even a ghost is in a situation of death and no life, let alone now.
He does not have the ability to confront ghosts and show them the way.
Shen Lin looked at the direction pointed by the ghost. It was dark there and he couldn't see anything. He couldn't judge.
There may be a very scary ghost incident there, so you can't go there.
Neither path works, and we need to find another way.
Is it possible to pass by a ghost pointing the way?
Shen Lin was thinking that Wang Xiaoming had paid him two ghost candles in advance. He used one in the ghost staircase incident and kept another one close to his body.
C-level ghosts generally have their limitations, either in terms of scope or strict rules.
Relying on the fact that Gui Zhu can 100% resist the evil ghost, as long as Gui Zhu can hold on long enough, Shen Lin has a chance to escape from the area pointed by the ghost.
Shen Lin went through this method carefully in his mind and found that the feasibility was more than 80%, which was at least much more realistic than resisting the ghost's guidance or going to that weird area.
Shen Lin took out the ghost candle from his arms and held it in his hand. It was a complete ghost candle and had never been consumed.
Shen Lin took a few steps slowly, but nothing happened.
It seems that the rules on the forum have a certain degree of credibility. The rules will only be triggered when he goes in the other three directions. As long as he doesn't turn back, there won't be much of a problem.
Shen Lin slowly walked to about two or three steps in front of the ghost's guide. He carefully looked at the ghost in front of him.
Eerie and terrifying.
The more stringent the rules are, the more terrifying the ghosts are. This can be seen from the countless ghosts in the wake of ghosts and awakenings.
Shen Lin silently put the ghost guide into this category for the time being. This ghost cannot fight unless necessary.
He took out a special lighter and slowly lit it. The green ghost candle began to burn, and the light illuminated everything around him more and more sinisterly.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Lin took steps slowly.
One step, two steps, three steps.
He is already on par with the ghost guide, and every next step will determine his fate.
Guizhu Shang didn't have any problems. He glanced around and Shen Lin started to take steps.
The moment he lifted his feet into the air, the ghost candle in his hand moved automatically, as if it had been invaded by something.
The violent trembling was far greater than before, and Shen Lin's heart completely rose to his throat.
The trembling of Guizhu continued, and the strange fluctuations made Shen Lin's eyes widen wider and wider.
"Damn! No way!" Shen Lin had a look of disbelief on his face.
The second before his feet were about to hit the ground, the ghost candle in his hand burst into flames. The candle body seemed to be immersed in a ball of flame, and the green candle flame expanded unprecedentedly.
In the next second, the ghost candle burned rapidly at a speed that Shen Lin could not understand. In just an instant, one third of it had been burned.
Shen Lin quickly retracted his steps, and the exploding candlelight immediately returned to normal.
A ghost candle, a whole ghost candle, burned one-third in an instant. Shen Lin looked at the ghost next to him with eyes full of terror and horror.
The horror of this ghost was beyond his imagination, and he was not even qualified to speculate with a ghost candle.
Guizhu's toughness is very strong. Even the upside-down ghost has never made him burn instantly. There are not many ghosts in Shen Lin's memory who can make Guizhu burn instantly. Without exception, they are very terrifying.
At this moment, Shen Lin suddenly understood what happened to the ghost control team's fall. In the face of such terror, manpower seemed so insignificant.
Things have reached a deadlock. It is impossible for Shen Lin to chase the ghost bus again. This ghost blocks his way.
At the dark crossroads, the scarecrow-like old man slowly grinned at the corners of his mouth, as if mocking the ignorant pedestrians. His right hand was still raised high, pointing in an inexplicable direction.
It was dark there, and a great terror seemed to be brewing.
This fierce ghost never gave those who met him a chance to choose from the beginning.
Shen Lin gritted his teeth and began to move slowly in the direction raised by that hand, where his last bit of vitality remained in the unknown area.
The road was so long that Shen Lin could not see everything around him. He groped forward in the darkness with some confusion.
It was obvious that he was no longer in the real world. This place belonged to a strange world. It might be a ghost realm, or it might be another dimension.
Finally, there was light in front of his eyes. It was blurry, but it existed. For the first time, Shen Lin had a direction. He struggled towards the bright place.
When he could see where the light was coming from, his steps froze.
They were two lanterns. They looked old and made of unknown materials. They didn't look like paper, but rather some kind of leather.
Human skin! Shen Lin's pupils narrowed.
The green firelight illuminated most of the surrounding area. In front of Shen Lin was a rather classic house. It looked more like a business shop than a civilian residence.
Just below the lantern blooming with green light at the door.
Scarlet writing on an old wooden sign came into view.
"when"!
