Ever since Wang Xiaoming invented the golden theory of supernatural isolation under a pseudonym, many people in the group of ghost controllers have regarded this thing as a Bible, and its importance is no less than that of the Heart Sutra in Buddhism.
This also leads to many ghost masters who basically regard gold as the last straw when they are on the verge of recovery or facing despair during an incident. They prepare a sealed gold container in advance and get into it when they are in doubt.
Similar methods have been used by Yang Jian, Shen Lin, and many people at the headquarters.
This method is essentially a small portable safe house. If you encounter trouble, as long as you have enough reaction to seal yourself, you can get immediate safety.
The solution is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In a crisis-ridden environment, you have no solution. Hiding in a gold container is just a situation where you are waiting to die, let alone a sealed container.
Most ghost controllers don't have the ability to survive without breathing, which also leads to the fact that even if you use this method, you will basically die.
The difference is between suffocating oneself to death or opening a gap, causing evil spirits to invade and kill oneself.
But now, there seems to be a loophole in the rule of trying everything. Shen Lin is very concerned about what Chu Jiu said. In the experiment at the headquarters, he once tried to seal the money when someone touched the life money. Inside the coffin, the final result was very unsatisfactory.
This person died, even though he was separated by a sealed golden coffin, he was killed by the curse of the ghost. This situation made Shen Lin have to be afraid.
There are only two possibilities for this situation.
One is that the evil ghost involved in this life-buying money is extremely terrifying. Even if it is separated by gold, the terrible curse is enough to kill people.
Shen Lin is not optimistic about this possibility. The effect of gold has been tested in various ways, so the probability of problems is small. Shen Lin also believes that Wang Xiaoming's IQ will not make him stupid in this regard.
Then there is only one possibility left.
Shen Lin took a few steps forward and looked at the life money that looked like banknotes and looked at it carefully.
If there is no problem with gold, then the problem lies with the money.
The person who picked up the money was most likely to be cursed as soon as he touched the money. This curse spreads progressively, and the person will die directly at the moment when it completely breaks out.
Gold can only isolate external supernatural beings, and it has only so many functions.
It is meaningless to isolate a person who has been cursed in his body. The terror is in his body, and death is only a matter of time.
"Is it okay to just hold this money like this? If we speculate according to the event pattern you mentioned, the moment the money is taken out, the pattern of this thing has been triggered."
Shen Lin looked at Fu Qing, a half-year-old young man, with mixed eyes. There were certain solutions to the horrors of the future, but there were very few solutions to the curse that broke out within him.
The most typical case is the curse between Yang Jian and the music box. Yang Jian, who is experienced, bold and careful, can only rely on gambling and trading with ghost cabinets to try to break the curse. This process is full of dangers. Yang Jian almost died.
This is Yang Jian, if it had been anyone else, his life might have been lost.
If Chu Jiu's narrative is not too biased, then in Shen Lin's guess, the curse of the life-buying money is similar to the music box. It is planted in the body, and the curse explodes from the inside out, directly annihilating consciousness. This The young man named Fu Qing has a very slim chance of survival.
Chu Jiu began to respond to Shen Lin's question. She did not touch it, but pointed to the edge of the note.
"This banknote was not exposed to the air. The headquarters used high-pressure technology to crystallize the gold into liquid form. Finally, a fully sealed gold shell similar to a plastic film was formed around the banknote."
Shen Lin nodded, calmly.
It's very well said. I don't have any problem except the technical part.
"Does that mean the curse of this life-buying coin has not been touched yet?"
Chu Jiu took two steps forward.
"In Professor Wang's judgment, he believed that the curse had been triggered when the banknote was picked up by Fu Qing. However, because the money was wrapped in gold, the curse did not penetrate and erupt."
Shen Lin nodded. He agreed with Wang Xiaoming's statement. At least he didn't find anything wrong.
According to this logic, when Fu Qing picked up the life money, the curse had already locked onto him, but the terror did not break out because of the gold package, which made Shen Lin look at the young man again.
He finally understood the reason why Wang Xiaoming asked Fu Qing to join the team and let him carry such a terrifying thing with him. Before Fu Qing's death, this note could only play its greatest role in his hands.
Use evil ghosts to deal with evil spirits, and use terror to balance terror.
Maybe this thing can really bring about a turn for the better for them.
"What do you think?" Shen Lin looked at Fu Qing. He was seeking the opinions of the person involved. Once the outer packaging of this banknote is torn off, he will be cursed, and sooner or later the horror will turn him into a corpse.
Fu Qing didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment, and in the end he could only grin and make an expression.
"I don't have any ideas. I knew the reason why Professor Wang asked me to join the team in the first place. Anyway, if we keep going like this in this damn place, we don't know when something will go wrong. I might as well use this thing to at least have a chance of survival. "
Fu Qing is very clear-eyed, and he has been very clear-eyed from the beginning when he was involved in the terrorist incident.
He is just an ordinary person, with a low IQ, poor eloquence, and mediocre talents in many aspects. He can only survive to death. In such a terrifying recovery environment, he has no capital to survive.
Fu Qing may have countless shortcomings, but he has one thing that stands out, that is, this young man understands the situation clearly and is very self-aware.
Just like now, or when he set off with the team, he knew very well that his death would be sooner or later.
Shen Lin's expression showed a rare appreciation. Being timid in a terrorist incident will not play any role. If the only chance of survival in a difficult situation is to miss the opportunity because of looking forward and backward, such a person will not be able to survive even if he is lucky enough to survive once. twice.
"If you survive this incident, I will try to help you see if I can solve the problem." Shen Lin said these words, showing the responsibilities of a backbone in a difficult situation.
Shen Lin really has no clue at this stage, but he can't afford to have a treasure in his family. Su Yonghe's inheritance from the Republic of China may make him have a different view on this matter.
Even worse, there is Ji Zhun. As an alien in consciousness, if we try to transfer the curse to Ji Zhun, he might be able to resist it.
Anyway, Li Gui doesn't have the concept of death.
"Thank you." Fu Qing looked at Shen Lin and solemnly said these two words. At this moment, only these two words could express his heart. Any more words would be useless, let alone any words of repayment. In terms of class, Fu Qing knew very well that trying to help a twelfth captain-level figure with his own strength was basically a daydream.
After finalizing everything, Fu Qing tore off the gold film attached to the banknotes without hesitation. Fear and anxiety made him close his eyes.
But with rapid breathing, the surrounding firelight flickered, and I waited in the darkness with my eyes closed for a long time, but nothing happened.
Fu Qing opened his eyes in confusion, and saw that he was still where he was, and Shen and Lin were still beside him. Except for the note in his hand, which was crinkled due to nervousness, nothing seemed to have changed. .
"Why didn't anything happen?" Fu Qing was a little confused. This was not the same as the horror blockbuster scene he imagined.
"You should treat it like playing a game to release skills. The skills will have special effects immediately after being released, and they are instantaneous." Shen Lin responded unhappily, but looked around cautiously, waiting for changes to occur.
The effect of the life-buying money has been verified by Wang Xiaoming in many ways. The terrifying effect of this thing is absolutely no problem, but the curse of the ghost needs time to advance.
This made Fu Qing a little embarrassed. He looked nervously at the crumpled banknotes in his hand.
"Well, I was a little nervous just now and squeezed him in my hand. Will this thing be broken by my crushing?"
Shen Lin tried to take steps. Everything around him was as usual, and he still didn't feel much change.
"Don't bring supernatural objects into reality. The essence of this thing is a ghost, or a part of a puzzle of a ghost. Being held by you is just a superficial phenomenon. Maybe after you die, this thing will mysteriously disappear and reappear in another person. When you see it, it’s like a brand new banknote.”
The questions and answers among several people were very quick, and nothing happened for a while after the banknotes were unveiled, which made the atmosphere a bit anxious.
"What should we do now?"
Chu Jiu was a little confused, and the life money didn't seem to work to her surprise. This thing was tested by her with Wang Xiaoming and his team. Its ability has been witnessed many times. It was originally used as a trump card to break the game, but she didn't expect to use it. Nothing happened after that.
It felt really bad to have used the last trump card but it was of no use. This made Chu Jiu's inner turmoil more and more serious.
Shen Lin vaguely sensed the position of the ghost mother, and the movement continued. The ghost mother seemed to be being pulled by something. He could not stay here for too long. Being too far away from the responsible ghost might cause the connection to be broken. The ghost mother might It will get out of control again, completely out of control.
"Keep going forward." Shen Lin made a decision.
"Continue?" Chu Jiu looked at the endless country road in front of her with a somewhat resistant expression.
Shen Lin looked at her: "Do you have any other ideas?"
Chu Jiu was a little panicked when she saw it, and she shook her head and said, "No, no."
"Then stop talking nonsense and let's go." After saying this, Shen Lin took the lead and walked out, and Fu Qing followed with their inner trepidation and uneasiness.
The next journey seemed no different from the long and tedious journey before.
The same environment, the same road, and endless darkness.
Shen Lin's every step was firm enough. He took the trouble to look at the surrounding environment over and over again, almost making him sick. The caution he developed during the incident was his best weapon.
At this moment, Shen Lin knew very well in his heart that life-buying money was Chu Jiu and Fu Qing's last trump card. After using it, judging from the current state of these two people, the probability of being a burden would be greater than the practicality.
The flowers in the greenhouse are never as good as the beasts that come out of the jungle. These people have been raised so well by Wang Xiaoming and the others. Everything in the headquarters is always arranged to perfection. Extremely terrifying incidents are resolved by the captain. What is left for these people are small Fish and shrimp.
In such an environment, they rarely encountered this feeling of despair and helplessness, so that now they suddenly showed panic when faced with this situation.
This is not a good sign. Panic during a terrorist incident can be a trigger for any trouble. The only consequence of lighting this fuse is death and no other consequences.
Part of the reason why Shen Lin didn't choose to place Chu Jiu like an ordinary person was that it was difficult to get rid of the situation.
The other part is that his current state is too bad. No matter how bad a ghost controller is, he is still a ghost controller. In a mysterious and mysterious area like Huangquan Road, multiple people can always help him.
"Isn't it time yet?"
It took longer than expected, so long that Shen Lin couldn't help but look sideways at Fu Qing, specifically the note in Fu Qing's hand.
Many details in Chu Jiu's narrative are incomplete, such as the approximate period of Wang Xiaoming's experiment. If the life-buying curse's outbreak period is not short-term but long-term, then they will be in big trouble.
"There's not much time left."
The ghost mother in the induction had no tendency to stop, and Shen Lin had to consider the worst case scenario.
He finally decided to leave the current situation for about an hour. After this time, if everything did not improve, he would have to give up Chu Jiu and Fu Qing temporarily, risking the possibility of disturbing Li Gui at any time. , the risk of being invaded by evil ghosts is to choose to rush through the ghost realm, try your best to reach the vicinity of the ghost mother, take the ghost mother back, and first improve your self-protection ability.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every minute and second of it was like suffering.
Shen Lin not only had to concentrate on carrying the abnormality in his body, but also had to be alert to possible accidents around him at all times. On this basis, he also had to take into account the possible curse risks of buying life money as much as possible. He was under considerable mental pressure. big.
"What's the sound?"
Fu Qing suddenly said something nervously, which made Shen Lin's already tense nerves start to search quickly.
There was indeed some sound, very subtle, like the sound of footsteps, but it was extremely numerous and uniform in frequency, and the sound tended to get louder and louder.
The sound came from directly behind them, and something was approaching them quickly.
ghost! It's definitely a ghost! In this case, Shen Lin didn't make second guesses.
Why, how is it possible? They walked on this road for more than six hours. They walked the road behind step by step. Before that, they didn't feel anything behind them. What is this ghost behind now? Where did it come from.
The sound that was getting closer and closer could not be faked. Shen Lin was sure that it was not an illusion. The thing might be in front of them in the next second.
"Go forward normally, lower your head, and don't talk!"
