"Bait!?"

Charlize was about to inquire carefully, but suddenly felt another fishy wind blowing around him.

"That's what we're really aiming for!"

Charlotte's face gradually became serious, and it seemed that the remnants of the ghost tiger's power had really appeared.

When I looked up, I saw that the group of ghosts who were originally competing in the air all showed panicked expressions on their faces. They were caught in the middle by a sudden and strange wind, and they wanted to escape but there was no way to escape.

One by one, the strange wind tore the ghosts in half, like a beast wreaking havoc in the crowd. Although the ghosts were able to gather again after being torn apart, the color on their bodies had faded a lot.

If it weren't for the inability to make a sound, Charlize believed that they would have let out a hoarse scream by now.

"It's a pity that only the heroine of a horror movie can face danger and live for an hour and a half just by screaming. ”

Charlize, the heroine of a real horror movie, complained to herself,

"Does this mean it's angry?"

"It should be!"

Charlotte's answer was not very positive either,

"Without the control of Wei Changhui's consciousness, although the power of the ghost tiger will sleep, when it encounters some special circumstances, it will also act according to its mandrill instincts, just like now-"

He pointed to the shivering ghosts in mid-air,

"These guys, attracted by the smoke emitted by the burning of the yellow money paper, unconsciously broke away from the control of the ghost tiger, which the instinct of that force would never allow. ”

"So it's being lured out!?"

Charlize had fully understood Charlotte's plan at this time -

Use the smoke of burning yellow paper to attract the ghosts and make them lose control, thus angering the remaining power of the ghosts and tigers, so that they are instinctively driven to come directly to them.

- It's another one-by-one plan, which fits well with Charlotte's character as she knows. Only, what's next?

Charlize unconsciously looked at Charlotte beside him, only to find that he was actually reciting poetry:

“...... I don't believe the sky is blue,

I don't believe in the echo of thunder,

I don't believe that dreams are fake,

I don't believe that death is without retribution. ”

With the last sentence, Charlize suddenly felt a chill under his feet. Looking down, a faint mist was floating on the ground, and faintly, a huge pitch-black gate was opening at Charlotte's feet.

"Sally, stay away, or Alexis will be caught up in it!"

Charlotte reminded Charlize loudly, and before she could do anything, things changed-

It seemed to be affected by some powerful suction, and the ghosts, who were originally trapped in mid-air by the strange wind, rushed towards Charlotte's location in a swarm, like a miserable white wave.

"Flash—"

Before Charlize could finish her reminder, the wave engulfed Charlotte in one fell swoop.

"That guy is going to be fine!"

Alexis reminded the girl in her mind,

"But we really need to dodge back, the door under his feet exudes a huge suction, and I can't hold it anymore if I stand here!"

"Is that hell's gate?"

Charlize muttered to himself, but heeded Alexis's advice and stepped back a short distance.

She had seen clearly that Charlotte was indeed fine-

Although he was swallowed up by the great wave, it was not him who the ghosts that formed the great wave, but the gate under his feet.

The dark gate had been completely opened, and the ghosts had entered in the honeycomb, but they did not stir up a single movement, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Charlotte stood silently, as if hovering above the gate, letting the ghosts pass by him, like a boulder in the middle of the pillar.

Gradually, the ghosts were thrown into the gate, and the gate slowly closed. Suddenly, a whirlwind blew beside Charlotte, and his clothes fluttered, and his black hair flew flying.

"It's a whirlwind brought about by the remnants of the Ghost Tiger, don't worry. ”

Charlotte waved her hand at the girl, signaling that she should not be nervous, but she lowered her head and stared at the dark door that was slowly closing at her feet.

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you. ”

This sentence suddenly came to Charlize's mind.

The door at Charlotte's feet finally closed.

"Is it over?"

Charlize asked cautiously. There was nothing wrong with her, but Charlotte had just said that the dark gate was dangerous for Alexis, who was attached to her.

"It's over. ”

Charlotte nodded. By this time, the door at his feet had completely disappeared.

"Actually, if Alexis had been sealed in that bottle at the beginning, Sally, you had broken the bottle at the crossroads as I instructed, and you might have seen this gate long ago. ”

"I've seen you for a long time!?"

Charlize was shocked,

"You're saying that if I had chosen to break Alexis' bottle, I would have seen this-"

- This is terrifying, isn't it?!

Not only Charlize, but even Alexis, who was hiding in her subconscious, also complained together.

"Still, didn't you say you needed to break it at the intersection to be useful?"

"This is a crossroads, an important but abandoned crossroads!"

Charlotte's face was a little gloomy, and he looked into the distance,

"Sally, do you know about the Pacific Railroad?"

"You mean the railroad that runs through the east and west coasts of the United States?"

Compared to the average American, Charlize's level of geographical knowledge is not bad. She looked at Charlotte and realized an answer,

"Is this here—"

"This is the Pacific Railroad, a branch line that connects to the Pacific Railroad to be exact, but it was built together with the official Pacific Railroad, so it is also part of the Pacific Railroad project. ”

Charlotte stomped the ground twice with her foot,

"More than ten years ago, this branch line was dismantled due to poor management. And where I'm standing now is the intersection of the branch line and a dirt road, which is—"

"—Crossroads!"

Charlize instantly understood,

"But although the Pacific Railroad was an important transportation line in the past, it is now abandoned, is such an intersection still useful?"

"Of course it works!"

Charlotte was very sure,

"In some spells, the splendor of modern times can even enhance mana more than modern prosperity......"

As a two-ocean country, how the United States communicates with the most prosperous east and west coasts has always been a long-standing and difficult problem. Before the opening of the Panama Canal, the Pacific Railroad connecting the two oceans was the main artery of the United States. At that time, the United States could also be said to be a country on the railroad tracks.

However, with the development of the automobile industry, the glory of the Pacific Railway gradually came to an end, and after the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, many sections of the road began to be abandoned or even demolished because of poor management.

The abandoned and demolished railroad in the Bianers Valley has also experienced the same glory and loneliness, and this gap is exactly what Charlotte needs. What's more—

"This section of the Pacific Railroad, especially the Western Pacific Railway, was built after a great deal of sacrifice. ”
