"No matter how many times I see this place, it still gives me the creeps."
Examining this dark area, Shen Lin saw his general appearance for the first time through the five levels of ghost realm.
This place seemed to be a barren mountain, and Shen Lin could only see large expanses of grass and jagged mounds.
There are patches of weeds all around. The grass is withered and yellow, and the whole thing is wilting, as if it has been drained of its vitality.
But the strange thing is that Shen Lin can feel the existence of "plants", as if these dead grass are still alive, which is quite incredible.
Two flagpoles can be seen on both sides of the road. Next to the flagpole is a cemetery. There are no inscriptions, just a bulging grave. There seem to be traces of burning paper money on the grave. The green flames seem to come from famous people. A will-o'-the-wisp burning in this darkness.
Shen Lin took a few steps and approached the flagpole, but did not touch it easily.
The flag on the flagpole had been eroded and riddled with holes. Shen Lin couldn't observe anything more even though he couldn't touch it easily. He could only draw conclusions one by one by piecing together pieces.
This is a human font.
This flag seems to have been brought here and left here for some reason, and it is quite old.
Why? Does the ghost pawn shop still allow group transactions?
Wait, that's not quite right. This thinking is too simplistic. The area where the ghost pawn shop is located is obviously not dark, but more like a barren mountain like a mass grave.
In other words, in addition to going through the ghost pawn shop, it is very possible to get here through other ways.
Why come here? What was once special about this place? Ghost pawn shop? Are these people going to cause trouble for the ghost pawn shop?
Shen Lin looked at the densely packed graves, feeling a little numb.
Could this be the person who came here back then?
Evil ghosts do not have human emotions and thoughts. Unless these graves themselves are transformed by evil spirits, no ghost will be kind enough to collect the corpses of these people.
Two possibilities.
Or, this area was originally weird, and after being discovered, someone led a team there, and then everyone was trapped and killed by the evil ghost.
Or, this area was originally normal, but it became so weird because these people died here.
There are two possibilities.
This level of weird zone is definitely not formed in modern times. It is either born with it or...
Republic of China!
It's the Republic of China again. Is the ghost in the ghost pawn shop related to the Republic of China one of these people? If so, why was he the only one so special not buried in the grave? Why did these people from the Republic of China come here?
Doubts abounded, but paper money that had not been burned by the fire suddenly appeared in front of him, mixed with ashes and floating around Shen Lin.
Before he could make any move, he heard a strange singing sound coming from his ears.
The voice was very crisp, quite young, more like a child's voice. Shen Lin couldn't understand what he was singing, but the hollow and unexplained voice made people couldn't help but feel chills in their backs.
Some figure seemed to appear in the distance, jumping up and down, a little happy.
Before Shen Lin could take a closer look, the figure disappeared strangely. When it reappeared, it was near the barren grave. It seemed to be holding a candied haws in its hand. The candied haws were round but without any sugar coating. They looked extremely elastic. Shen Lin I even saw drops of blood falling.
Blood gourd! That thing is not made from fruit at all!
The child seemed to have stopped jumping around and waved happily in the direction of Shen Lin. While waving, a cheerful smile appeared on his face. That smile matched his scarlet-marked face. The defeated face is as weird as it is.
Is he waving to me?
No, not quite right, more like following...
behind!
A chill poured over his body from his brain, wondering what kind of horror zone he had experienced before.
Can't stay any longer, let's go!
Shen Lin quickly came to his senses, his fear even made him not intend to look back, and the gray-white ghost realm spread out in a straight line.
Five meters!
impossible! The fifth-level ghost realm has been suppressed like this, and there is even a risk of being suppressed further.
There was no time to panic, Shen Lin's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared five meters away from the ghost realm, and then continued to extend, chasing in the direction of the ghost pawn shop at an extremely fast speed.
The feeling of danger became heavier and heavier, as if he felt surrounded. Shen Lin could even feel the terrifying aura.
Fortunately, this feeling did not last long. When his figure approached the ghost pawn shop, where the lantern with the word "Dang" was shining, the sense of crisis behind him was swept away.
Looking back, there was silence there. It was still the same graveyard. It was so quiet that it was as if everything just now was an illusion.
No! no! Shen Lin was convinced that even if he hadn't acted rashly, he had been targeted by a ghost. If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have been dead by now.
This area contained risks that he could not imagine. The area where the ghost pawn shop was located was even more special, and the ghosts seemed to deliberately avoid getting close to it.
Shen Lin's eyes turned to the weird lantern. For no reason, he thought of Wang Xiaoming's ghost candle.
Perhaps the principle is similar. Is this lantern or the candle inside more powerful than the ghost candle? It has the function of protecting or resisting evil spirits.
And from the current point of view, this thing does not seem to be a consumable like the ghost candle. The flame in the lantern itself is a part of the supernatural.
She just looked at it and gave up on her little thoughts. Shen Lin knew exactly what he was here to do. At this stage, it was not appropriate to provoke the ghost pawnshop with such meaningless things.
The existence of the ghost pawn shop is most likely an important factor in maintaining balance in this strange area. It is best not to destroy the ghost pawn shop unless necessary.
When he returned to the ghost pawn shop, he didn't do anything immediately. He needed to make some preparations.
More haste less speed. Shen Lin knew this very well.
The evil ghost in his body was like a thousand-jin pendant tied to it. It was severely suppressed, but it was not completely insensitive. At least some of its power could still be exerted. To a certain extent, this was good news for Shen Lin.
He walked slowly in the pawn shop, taking a rough look at the general situation. Finally, he came to the counter and tentatively picked up the bone pen.
There was no obstruction, which meant that the transaction was in progress, and the ghost pawnshop allowed him to conduct additional transactions or secondary transactions.
Holding the bone pen, Shen Lin tried to touch the inkstone, but he felt a cold breath before he touched it, so he simply gave up.
Obviously, the ghost pawnshop did not allow him to take any additional actions.
The blood-stained paper stayed in the center of the ghost pawn shop. The blood stains on the paper were spreading. Waiting for the blood stains to cover the paper was the deadline given by Li Gui.
Shen Lin didn't stay any longer. He walked slowly to the door, facing the open door of the pawn shop, but had no intention of going out.
The next second, he flipped his wrist, and the remaining ghost ink appeared on his hand.
Then, facing the open wooden door, he scratched it!
