Chapter 29: Ghosts
It's past eight o'clock.
The group finally came to the hot spring villa where Brother Chen had stayed once.
It is said to be a hot spring mountain resort, but in fact, because of the remote location and the lack of traffic, the scale of this hot spring mountain resort in the mountains and forests is actually not large.
Built on the edge of a mountain and a spring, all the buildings add up to the size of more than a dozen rooms and a few hot spring pools separated by wooden walls.
At this time, it is the peak season of tourism in Qingyun Town, and there are already some tourists who know the way to live in the villa.
When the group checked in at the counter, they found that there were only two rooms left, so they had to follow a few men's rooms, Yu Jie and other women plus Luo Shen's child.
As soon as you enter the room.
The tired crowd threw away their backpacks and fell on the cushions.
Luo Shen glanced at these unfigured women, turned around and went out the door, and suddenly tilted his head at the corner of the corridor, stared at a wall with ice blue eyes, and said a little strangely: "Do you want to stay there all the time?" โใ
Naturally, the walls were unresponsive.
Half a day.
A dark, translucent figure stepped out of the wall.
"Ghosts." Luo Shen said without any emotion.
But this ghost who was seen through did not act rashly, he looked at Luo Shen in silence, and finally asked, "How did you find me...... Also, you're not human, are you? โใ
"WellโI'm not human." Luo Shen nodded.
Then he said, "As for how you were found...... That's how you see it, how can you not see it when you're standing inside the wall like this? โใ
The ghost still looked at Luo Shen in silence.
Luo Shen waved his hand in front of him and said, "You look much more sluggish than the ghost in the B&B, can you tell me why there are so many ghosts in Qingyun Town?" Why can't I see it in the magic capital? โ
The ghost was silent for a moment.
But in the end, he said, "B&B? Xu Taili's ...... You're talking about the shop behind the sign that says 'Yasankan Guesthouse', right? โ
Seeing Luo Shen nodded, the ghost continued: "Xu Taili has been a ghost for many years, so he is more like a living person than us. As for the ghosts in Qingyun Town, there are no demons...... It's because the popularity of the demon capital is too strong, and as soon as the soul leaves the body, it is destroyed by the popularity around it, so it can't grow into a ghost at all. โ
"Popularity?" Luo Shen asked with some curiosity.
It was the first time he had heard of such a thing, and it turned out that the gathering of human beings would form some kind of energy that he couldn't feel?
At this time, a few more ghosts seemed to have discovered the special situation here, and they walked through the wall one after another, but although they all looked a little stiff and weird, they didn't seem to have made any other moves to Luo Shen for a while.
And at first, the ghost's chatterbox seemed to have opened.
He continued to explain to Roshen: "Yes, I don't know how to explain it...... In short, there are some special places where there are a lot of people, and there are such things, and popularity will strangle all ghosts or souls. So we can only hide in this remote hot spring mountain resort, and the Xu Taili you have seen before is better, because he can hide in his own body, so he can go to the town when there are few people. โ
Luo Shen nodded: "It turns out that there is still such a setting?" I said, how come I can't see a soul in the devil...... But if you say that, there will still be ghosts in some places where there are very few people! โ
"Yes." The ghost who was talking to Luo Shen nodded, but immediately added: "But even if there is, it will be ...... soon in a place like the Demon Capital."
Before he could finish speaking, an unsettling sound came from outside the villa.
The ghosts suddenly panicked.
Roshen looked at them strangely, not knowing what was happening.
"Here they are again! Get together! One of the demons shouted.
So, Luo Shen watched curiously as these ghosts quickly gathered together from all directions of the villa.
As soon as the ghosts gathered here, several figures appeared outside the hot spring villa.
Through the glass.
Luo Shen saw it clearly: the thing outside the house had extremely long hands and feet, standing in the dark night, and its body looked like a human being, with no facial features on one head, only a bloody mouth, and barbed teeth could be seen from the slightly open mouth.
"What is this?"
The ghosts gathered together in a hurry, and Luo Shen noticed that a few of them still had half a wooden stick, a kitchen knife, and a dagger in their hands.
The figure outside the house began to approach the hot spring villa.
It's just that only the ghosts and Luo Shen can see this scene, and the other tourists and the staff of the hot spring villa all turn a blind eye and still do their own thing.
The demons were in a commotion, but they still gathered together.
Finally.
The first monster passed through the glass gate of the Hot Spring Villa, and in two strides it came to the ghosts.
The strange arm that was the length of a man stretched out and grabbed at one of the ghosts.
"Kill!"
The ghost who had been chatting with Luo Shen at the beginning suddenly burst into a loud shout, and the ghosts immediately waved their weapons or simply pounced on this strange ghost.
Bang!
The severed half of the stick slammed into the demon's arm, but it only made a muffled sound like defeat.
However, the blow seems to have had some effect.
The long-handed ghost withdrew his arm as if in pain.
However, at this time, several other ghosts also entered the villa one after another, and launched an encirclement and suppression of all the ghosts present.
Luo Shen noticed that these long-handed, long-legged ghosts seemed to be more powerful and agile than most of the humanoid ghosts in the Hot Springs Villa.
It's just that these monsters don't seem to be able to really cooperate.
It's just that they are fighting separately to attack the group of ghosts who originally chatted with Luo Shen and still basically maintain their human form.
The fight between the two sides continued for a while.
When the ghosts were still unable to inflict heavy damage on each other, one of the ghosts with long hands and feet seized the opportunity and threw a guy who was too far away from the others to the outside of the villa.
Then the monsters quickly rushed out of the villa on all fours in a strange position, and immediately after, the sound of screams and human bodies being torn apart sounded in the darkness outside the villa......
The ghosts listened to the screams outside, and their already pale faces suddenly became even more ugly.
Long.
The ghost who had first chatted with Roshen said, "Okay, they're full, they'll be fine tonight." โ
However, the demons did not disperse at once.
Luo Shen took the opportunity to ask, "What are these monsters?" โ
"Evil spirits."
โฆโฆ
Following.
While everyone was picnicking and fishing by the lake near the villa, Luo Shen, who had been chatting with those ghosts for a long time last night, finally figured out some basic information.
At this time, he learned about some of the so-called "rules of the underworld".
Originally.
It was different from what he had thought before, it was different from the people of the Embroidered Spring Knife World who generated souls after death and then naturally dissipated within a few days. He lives in a world where human beings, or all creatures with souls, have many different fates after death.
The first thing to talk about is the so-called 'underworld'.
