In the light of the fire and the residual light of the flashlight, the shadow of the ghost sedan buried in the darkness was infinitely stretched, so long that it directly covered the other end of the corridor.
When the cigarette in Zhang Yumiao's hand burst into flames, and as she took a puff of the cigarette, Matchmaker Zhang's scream rang out.
Niu Migong and Zhang Yumiao turned their heads in horror, and the strong light of the flashlight directly illuminated the ghost sedan completely.
Similarly, the shadow belonging to the ghost sedan shines against the light and extends directly to them.
The trembling feeling from the soul caused Zhang Yumiao to take a puff of cigarette and it came out directly from his seven orifices. The smoke could be seen in his nose, mouth and ears. The first puff of cigarette caught him off guard and he did not have time to prepare, causing him to cough to death on the spot.
Under such circumstances, the hysterical coughs are no different from howling ghosts.
The ball of wool that was originally stationary began to roll rapidly. Before Matchmaker Zhang could react, the thing had rolled to the side of the ghost sedan. When Matchmaker Zhang wanted to take it back, a dark green light shone brightly inside the dark ghost sedan. , and then the black curtain of the ghost sedan automatically moved without wind, and in a daze, they could even see part of the scene in the sedan.
It was an old man, wearing an ancient python robe, sitting upright in a sedan chair, holding a pen in his right hand and writing in his left hand. The terror and majesty displayed in just a moment made people want to kneel down on the spot. impulse.
"Run!" the migrant worker Niu shouted, without even having time to make any preparations.
The matchmaker Zhang Rumeng woke up for the first time. After trying several times to pull out the ball of wool, she couldn't care less. She stumbled a few times and started to crawl away.
But then, her entire body froze in place with exaggerated movements.
A voice like Hong Zhongdalu sounded in his mind. The voice was like a mantra and very rhythmic, but he couldn't make out what he was saying.
The sound did not appear for more than ten seconds. Ten seconds later, Matchmaker Zhang's frozen body disappeared strangely. In the stunned eyes of the migrant workers who turned around, Matchmaker Zhang's living figure was sucked into the sedan like a ghost.
It was like a stone thrown into the sea, without even a single wave rolling.
No one knew what happened. It took less than ten seconds from discovery to death. Matchmaker Zhang died without the ability to resist.
Unable to escape, Niu Migong woke up from a dream and began to realize what Shen Lin meant by a certain death situation.
The mental state of a middle-aged man who was under daily pressure was revealed at this moment. In a panic, the migrant worker still remembered what he should do. He tremblingly took out the white ghost candle wrapped in a gold brocade bag from his arms and held it directly in his hand. lighter ignited.
The dark firelight bloomed, coupled with the green light in the ghost sedan, the white glare of the flashlight, and the yellow flames of the lighter in the hand that had not been completely extinguished, the combination of them made this dark floor look like the eighteenth level of hell.
"Run! Run in the other direction, candle! Use candle!"
The migrant worker Niu turned around and ran, shouting hysterically, trying to make Zhang Yumiao realize what he should do.
When Shen Lin made the plan for them, he made it very clear that the white ghost candle has the ability to attract ghosts. If a ghost appears, at least two of them need to hold the ghost candle in two directions to attract the ghost. The ghost candle is attractive to the ghost. The pull is likely to have an impact on Li Gui, thereby opening up the situation for Yang'an's dilemma.
There is only one corridor in the circular structure, and the ghost sedan in the other direction blocks the road. There is no possibility of a second direction.
There are two roads in front of him. One is the winding corridor ahead. Entering it is equivalent to an endless loop. If he can't run away from the ghost, he will die.
The other is the staircase leading to the fourth floor. Run down it. If another person becomes a victim, with luck, there may be a chance of survival.
It was difficult to choose between the two paths. Niu Migong rushed over with red eyes and gritted his teeth, not even daring to look at the stairs, for fear that he would not be able to resist.
"Run, run to the stairs! Quick!"
Zhang Yumiao was still coughing, and the cough was filled with snot and tears. Coupled with the psychological fear that had reached its peak at this moment, he also wanted to retching along with the cough.
He coughed and ran, with no other thoughts in his mind except survival.
"Candles, candles, light candles." Zhang Yumiao muttered while coughing. She jumped down the stairs of seven or eight steps, not caring about the pain in her legs and trembling. She groped around her body in panic, and finally put it in the outer pocket. Take out the ghost candle.
He lit it with the lighter he brought with him, and a dark fire appeared. The successful implementation of the plan made Zhang Yumiao's eyes light up a lot.
The stairs were at the corner, and there was a large blind spot. He couldn't see the situation above. Zhang Yumiao didn't dare to go up. He was afraid that he would bump into the ghost when he looked out.
He could only wait.
Don't be impatient. Captain Shen made it very clear about the effect of the white ghost candle. It has the ability to attract evil ghosts. As long as they calm down, they may be able to execute this plan perfectly without dying.
You can't rush or walk. The distance between the two candles and the ghost is almost the same, otherwise it will probably not work.
His heart was beating wildly and his eyes were trembling, but Zhang Yumiao didn't even dare to breathe too hard, and her nervous eyelids didn't even dare to blink a few times.
He did not dare to report the situation, so he could only press the button of the satellite phone nervously, and the tense atmosphere seemed to be transmitted to the other end of the phone in an instant.
"problem occurs!"
When the connection prompt sounded on the other end of the phone but it was strangely quiet, Shen Lin realized something.
"Where is it? Group B or Group C."
The notification on the satellite phone was still there, and the connection notification for Group B belonging to Niu Migrant Workers was on it. After confirming the location, Shen Lin opened the ghost zone directly.
Group B must have taken action, otherwise no one would have pressed the connect button. Now it is time to race against time. Shen Lin has no time to pay attention to the resurrection of the ghost at this moment. His ghost domain directly covers the entire Yang'an, constantly invading the outside area. , to ensure that we can seize that glimmer of hope.
The five hours agreed upon with Su Yong and the others are coming soon. Even if they haven't come yet, as long as their ghost domain can have some impact, they will start staking as soon as they find out.
This is the closest Yang'an has come to hope.
"Activate the drone near Group B and find a way to photograph or record the incident." Shen Lin spoke to the satellite phone. Wang Jiang, who had been waiting for a long time on the other end of the phone to respond, immediately took action.
When they found out again, they had already deployed drones near these three incidents, trying to obtain more intelligence and making full preparations.
"All teams, continue to implement the plan and wait where they are."
Group B is not safe. No one can guarantee that they will be able to complete their plan in the face of that ghost's terrorist attack. Shen Lin did not put all his hopes on the line. Extra preparations are necessary. If Group B fails, there will still be two of them. group.
The situation of Group B showed that their guess was correct. This ghost was attacking other ghosts in Yang'an City. They still had the opportunity to try and make mistakes.
"Sure enough, I can't sense it."
The incident had already occurred and the ghost domain was completely covered. Shen Lin clearly used the ghost domain to perceive everything at the location where the Bones Suicide Incident occurred. What was worse was that except for Niu Migong and Zhang Yumiao who were holding ghost candles, he did not perceive anything. .
Including the matchmaker Zhang who disappeared without a trace, not even a trace of her was left in Yang'an.
The ghost has the ability to shield the ghost realm. With the two ghost candles already lit, Shen Lin did not dare to take action easily. He was very aware of his current situation. When he arrived at the scene and encountered this ghost, he might not be able to resist it for a minute.
"Bah." The migrant worker stepped on the ground, holding a ghost candle and looking back in panic.
The ghost sedan was not far away from him. Every time he blinked, the thing seemed to teleport a few meters on the spot, disappearing and appearing strangely.
Weirdly. Getting closer to him.
What's even weirder is that the migrant worker ran as hard as he could to feed himself, but the thing was still getting closer and closer to him.
The ghosts are chasing him, which means that their plan is successful. The white ghost candle's plan to attract the ghosts is successful.
But this is not right. In the plan, the evil ghost should be pulled between two lit white ghost candles. This situation is not what the plan should be like.
Why? Is Zhang Yumiao afraid? Not lighting that candle?
The migrant worker Niu didn't have time to think about it. The weird sedan was getting closer and closer to him. His running legs and feet were numb, but he still couldn't break free.
If he continues like this, not only will his life be in vain, but his plan will also fail.
In half a minute, the migrant worker Niu ran around the entire circular corridor. When he ran past the stairwell again in a hurry, when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yumiao, who was also lighting up the ghost candle and had a look of astonishment on his face, he was happy at first, and then The panic reached its peak.
"Damn it! Is Guizhu useless to this thing?"
During the ghost realm perception, Shen Lin saw the migrant worker Niu running away desperately. There was obviously something chasing him behind him, but Shen Lin didn't sense anything.
What's worse is that Zhang Yumiao remained motionless on the spot, indicating that he had encountered nothing.
Of the two lit ghost candles, only one seems to be working. Why is this?
Or, maybe neither of them had any effect, and Li Gui was just targeting the migrant workers.
Li Gui was very close. Seeing that the thing was less than five meters away from him, Niu Migong shook his hands tremblingly.
He was dying, and he had no hope of living.
At this moment, a loud roar came from behind.
"Uncle Niu, candle, put out the candle!"
Looking back, he saw Zhang Yumiao holding a candle and looking like he was ready to run at any moment. Niu migrant workers immediately understood.
He gasped and extinguished the candle in his hand. The extinguishing of the white ghost candle gave him a feeling of surviving a disaster.
Two candles, if his one goes out, the ghost behind him will chase Zhang Yumiao. As long as the two of them react quickly enough and rotate like this, they can always involve the evil ghost and buy time.
That's what Zhang Yumiao thought, so after Niu Migong extinguished the ghost candle, he turned around and started running without looking back.
He ran very fast, with great speed, and he was as fast as he was when he took the 1,000-meter test in high school.
Zhang Yumiao felt that he had never run so fast in his life. The candle in his hand was still burning. He directly pulled his coat, revealing the bloody clothes underneath.
Every time this thing is used, it will stick to his skin even more, and one day it will be as impossible to peel off as the tarsal bones. But now there is no better protection tool than this thing. At least under the attack of the evil ghost, this thing can Give Zhang Yumiao confidence.
He ran, ran as hard as he could, and ran down the third floor in one breath. Zhang Yumiao looked back tremblingly as he ran, fearing that the terrifying thing behind him would cling to him the moment he turned back.
He was both lucky and surprised.
Because there was nothing behind him, even if he looked up through the gap in the stairs, he saw nothing.
The matter was beyond the scope of understanding. Zhang Yumiao was stunned for a moment. This was different from what he planned.
On the fifth floor, Niu, a migrant worker, ran a little further. After feeling relieved, he slumped to the ground and looked back nervously to see what was going on.
Then, he attached everything on the sedan.
Confused, his head was a little empty, and he was full of fear. At this moment, the migrant worker Niu had no idea, only rapid breathing.
More than fifty years of life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Before he could say anything, a burst of mantras sounded in his mind like Sanskrit chanting. Then, his whole body slowly froze in place. , no longer breathing, turned into a ghost and disappeared into the ghost sedan.
On the spot, the uneasy Zhang Yumiao gritted his teeth and prepared to go up and take a look, but before he could move, he felt a flash in front of his eyes.
Also coming at any time were the three people from Group C and the uneasy Bao Ming.
In the base stationed in Yang'an City, Shen Lin used the ghost domain to move everyone. The moment he took back the ghost domain, he staggered a few steps before he could barely stabilize his body.
At this moment, looking at the time, the watch in their hands was already infinitely close to the agreed time of five hours, but they had no chance now.
Failed! They didn't even know the reason for their failure. The ghost candle seemed to have no effect on the damn thing. Zhang Yumiao, who was holding the ghost candle and never extinguished it, couldn't even attract the attention of the thing. This was simply incomprehensible.
Among the horrific incidents Shen Lin experienced, there was only one situation where the white ghost candle was out of control.
That time was at Ghost Crying Mountain. Zhou Bin used the characteristics of a drunkard to hide himself and held a ghost candle to lure the ghosts forward. It was also at that time that the ghost candle briefly failed.
But this cannot be used as evidence at all. There are too many ghosts in Guiwei Mountain. A white ghost candle attracts dozens or even nearly a hundred ghosts. Whether it is due to conflicts between ghosts or accidents caused by various other reasons, some ghosts are briefly Being out of control is perfectly normal.
Apart from this, Shen Lin has never encountered today's situation.
Gui Zhu is useless, Li Gui is useless, they don't even have the ability to face this thing directly, what leverage do they have to survive in Yang'an now?
There is no bright future ahead, no hope.
At the scene, Zhang Yumiao was slumped on the ground, Shen Lin was silent, and Niu migrant worker and matchmaker Zhang disappeared. No one asked what happened. The situation in front of them explained too much.
——
Outside, seeing that the timepiece in his hand was about to return to zero, Zhang Yuan took a few deep breaths, looked at each other with Su Yonghe, and pressed the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Plan begins, start piling again!"
