Chapter 36: Triggering a Dead End

Xu Qing knew that the current situation was very wrong. In the late stage of the general mission, the ability of the ghost will also be very terrifying. Obviously, the ghosts of this mission also have the ability to affect space or create illusions.

He knew that not all of his teammates would be killed, and that the current separation was just a trick of the devil.

Xu Qing's psychological quality is not bad, he carefully observes the surroundings, so as not to suddenly appear ghosts. Remembering the trigger hint about a dead end, immediately put the mirror on the table down and try not to let slippery objects around you that could reflect the image.

"What about people...... Where have all the people gone?! Come out! Chu Shuguang was in a trance, and after he reacted, he found that everyone in the living room was gone. The door of the courtyard could not be opened as if it had been welded shut, and what was even more strange was that no matter where he went, he always felt that there was a "person" following him.

Despite the scorching sun above his head, Chu Shuguang's body felt extremely cold.

"Bang" a wooden chair fell without warning, and the movement frightened him a lot. Chu Shuguang held the curse prop in his hand, trying to dispel the terrifying feeling in his heart, but the prop did not play any role, and then, there was a clattering sound on the table behind him, the mirror shattered to the ground, the lens flashed on the ground, and a puddle of black viscous liquid suddenly appeared on the ground, Chu Shuguang was so frightened that he immediately ran out three meters away, for fear that it would affect himself.

He stood in the courtyard, not feeling the temperature of the sun at all, on the contrary, Chu Shuguang felt that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower, and that kind of biting and cold malice seemed to penetrate into his body, pulling him into the abyss from which he could never recover.

"I don't want to die!" He yelled and screamed, and the last tight string in his heart finally broke. Chu Shuguang moved his gaze to the ladder next to the courtyard wall, and he leaned the ladder against the wall and climbed up with his hands and feet. Even if you go over the wall, you must leave this ghost place!

He gasped and quickly climbed to the top. When one of his hands touched the edge of the wall, Chu Shuguang felt that he felt a pair of sticky and slippery hands.

Almost subconsciously, he raised his head.

Above his head, on the other side of the wall, a head with scattered black hair was staring at him—he saw a pair of bloody eyes, which was the last sight Chu Shuguang had seen before his death.

Xu Qing activated the teleportation prop and moved directly from the courtyard to the path outside the Li family. He didn't make any stops, but ran along the path without looking back, because he was an athlete, Xu Qing ran very fast, he ran far away in one go, until he was a little out of breath, and then slowly stopped. The strange thing is that there is no one to be seen during this time period, and it is quiet from house to house, except for the scorching sun overhead and the chirping of cicadas next to the trees, the entire Dongping Village is as silent as stagnant water.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong. Xu Qing also changed from running fast to slow, and gradually became walking. As he walked, he suddenly stopped.

"...... here" he stopped in disbelief, because the house that appeared in front of him was the Li family before.

He just ran along the way and didn't turn a corner at all, so how could he come back around?

He looked at his watch, only to realize that the hands had long stopped, and it had been more than ten minutes since he left. But the time didn't go forward for a second, and it still stayed at 12 o'clock.

Only then did Xu Qing realize that he had not yet gotten rid of the entanglement of the ghosts. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead and fell under his feet, Xu Qing casually glanced down, and found that there was a long, narrow and strange shadow at his feet, writhing wildly. The shadow gradually shortened from far to near, and seemed to be approaching him.

His heart skipped a beat, and he took a few steps back, turning to look behind him.

Empty, nothing.

He lowered his head again, and saw that the shadow had also turned behind him, slowly approaching him.

Xu Qing turned around again, but still didn't see anything.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to realize that no matter where he fled, the shadow would always appear behind him, constantly closing in on him. But he couldn't see anything, and Xu Qing didn't have any props to detect ghosts, and he didn't know the specific location of the ghosts. I still have a dispel item on hand, but in order to be effective, you must aim it at the Oni and use it within three meters.

By the way, maybe there's a way to see it......

Xu Qing remembered Chu Shuguang's previous experience, the superstitious saying in the countryside, bending down can be seen from the crack in the crotch.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, bent down with his legs apart, and looked behind him.

Less than five meters away from him, he saw a pair of bare feet, which were the slender calves of a woman, and she was wearing a loose blue robe, and her bloodless feet were stepping on the dirt road, as if they were staggering around as if they were boneless. Xu Qing didn't dare to look up anymore, but even if he didn't see the upper body of the ghost, Xu Qing knew that she was writhing weirdly at this moment.

Xu Qing watched the figure gradually approach, and silently held the prop. Five-meter ...... Four-meter ...... A little closer, a little closer......

His palms were already wet and sweaty. And the feet, throbbing, stopped about four meters away from him. As the distance narrowed, Xu Qing could already see half of the ghost's body, and he didn't know what the ghost was going to do, just quietly looking at the other party.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The ghost lifted its legs suddenly, and then disappeared in place. At the same time, Xu Qing only felt a sinking on his back, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet under the weight of the sudden weight, and he couldn't lift himself at all, because at this moment he could feel that something was riding on his back.

Xu Qing still maintained the bent posture that looked a little funny, but he couldn't laugh anymore. He saw locks of black hair slowly hanging down his legs, and then an upside-down face appeared in his sight. Xu Qing's eyes widened, and his body seemed to be fixed, and he would never move again.

Wang Yichen remembered Aunt He's warning, and he tore off the strips of cloth from his body and wrapped them on his face layer by layer. The feeling of panic flooded inexplicably, and although I could not see anything, the boundless fear penetrated into my skin, almost to the bone.

I could vaguely feel that there were "people" around him, but Wang Yichen still tried to overcome the fear in his heart and groped all the way to the gate. Soon, he felt like he was touching a pair of cold hands. Wang Yichen shook off his arm like an electric shock, and then realized one more thing: the ghost didn't seem to have any intention of harming him.

It must be because you didn't trigger the dead end!

Thinking of this, he held out his hand again. "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt me......" Wang Yichen's hand trembled slightly, and he touched the door bolt.

This time, the door was unexpectedly pushed open by him easily, and Wang Yichen stumbled along the way, not knowing how far he had gone. It wasn't until he heard the whispers of people around him, heard the voices of people on both sides of the road, and felt the scorching light above his head, that he took off the cloth with relief.

Ignoring the strange stares of the other villagers, he felt like he had been reborn. His back was already wet with cold sweat, and Wang Yichen's legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.
