Chapter 32: The Ghost Gets on the Boat
My hairs exploded in one fell swoop!
There was a clump of human hair in the water. That is, under the water, under the hair......
I can't think about it. Growing up, my biggest fear was things like women's hair.
My current job is tooling design, but when I was in school, I had the opportunity to learn beauty salons. I had already signed up, and that day a hairdressing teacher at the school had a meeting during the day and asked me to go to her hairdresser for an internship at night.
I worked until twelve o'clock in the evening until the last guest was sent off.
The teacher settles the day's turnover in the back room, and I go outside to clean my hair on the floor. Suddenly, there was a bang, and the store tripped.
It was pitch black in the room, and I knew where the gate box was, so I found a chair to stand on. I reached out and was about to push the turnstile when I saw in the mirror the heads of two pale women with long hair behind me, staring at me. I read that right, these two heads were smiling at me in a dark corner......
I fell off my chair with weak legs and hit my head on the table, bleeding all over the floor.
In fact, it was just two white model heads placed in the cabinet, reflected by the mirror. But to me, it was a terrifying image. Since then, I've had a shadow in my heart.
I didn't want to work as a hairdressing profession where I had to hold people's heads every day, so I switched to computer graphics. So, when I saw the black hair floating in the water, I felt a sigh in my heart and almost peed with fright.
With a shake of my hand, I threw my phone on the floor of the boat. The mobile phone screen rushes up, the light source is downward, and the eyes are instantly dark. I quickly picked up my phone and pulled the strap of my backpack with my other hand.
I'm going to go ashore, I'm going to have to go ashore. Even if it is tomorrow morning, I will wait until a ghost like me who wants to cross the river, and I will go with it.
I was holding my phone in my right hand and pulling on the strap of my backpack that was thrown on the ground with my left. The backpack was so heavy that I didn't pull it up at once. At this time, there was a "bang-bang-bang" sound from the water surface with long hair floating.
"Bang bang" twice, two long white hands with wet water droplets stretched out from the water and slammed into the plank on the edge of the boat!
Seeing these wet hands suddenly emerging from the water, the hairs on my body exploded again.
These hands are less than half a meter away from me, or rather, my hands can touch them as soon as I stretch my arms forward. It's like the long-haired ghost in the movie, crawling out of the TV, crawling to your bedside, crawling to your pillow, and you can touch her as soon as you reach out.
It's that close!
Not only did my hair blow up now, but the sweat on my body instantly soaked my shirt and shorts.
His grandmother's, what are you afraid of!
I'm going to go ashore, I'm going to go up. I don't want to be dragged out of the boat and into the water by water ghosts.
Damn, is this Hades? It's not a fun place, one moment a chicken with no internal organs flies, and the next a rabbit with no head jumps out. Now it's good, I think that no one rowed across the river, and a water ghost came out of the water.
I'm going to go ashore, I'm going to wait for another ghost to cross the river together!
I pulled up my backpack and took a step forward, the soles of my shoes stomping on a small pool of stagnant water. My foot slipped, and I could clearly hear a "click" on my ankle.
My foot is broken!
I leaned back and sat in the boat. Damn, why are you stumbling at this time? The water ghost's hand is on the side of the boat, and it is about to get on the boat, but my feet are ......
It's useless to complain, I said in my heart that if I climb, I will also climb to the shore.
The white hands were next to my arms and clung to the side of the boat, so close that I could see the white veins at the knuckles of its fingers when I turned my head.
This is really a perennial soaking at the bottom of the river - a water ghost!
I remembered the water ghost dragging the child. On a hot summer day, a few children jumped into the river to play in the water. A water ghost slowly floated its head in the middle of the river in the distance. With its seeping eyes, it stared at several moving targets on the shore. He slowly sank his head into the water, paddled forward one by one, and swam towards the children who were playing by the river.
Suddenly, it let go of its long black hair at the bottom of the murky river, and tens of thousands of thin black strands of hair wrapped around the neck of a child by the river......
Damn, I can't think about it. A large living person being dragged alive into the water and drowned second by second, the painful and terrifying feeling is not as comfortable as a death row prisoner being shot in the head.
I pulled my backpack and crawled forward twice, and suddenly remembered something.
When Brother Guo packed for me, he put more than 20 drawn pieces of "Ghost Fighting Talismans" and "Ghost Suppression Talismans" into my backpack. He said that when I am alone in the underworld, I will definitely encounter all kinds of ghosts, some of which are good and some of them are bad, some of them are helpful to me, and some of them are good to me with a knife in their smile, but they actually want me to die for them.
He said no matter what, when I was in danger, I took out the ghost fighting charm and put it on the door of the ghost's head, regardless of whether it was dead or alive, you just turned around and ran.
I said okay, I got it.
Moreover, the purpose of my coming to the underworld is to find the traces of Liu Xin and the little blind ghost, unlike Brother Guo's person who came specifically to destroy ghosts. I don't have to recite those tongue-twisting talismans, I just need to stick the talismans on the door of the ghost's head at the right time.
That's right, find the talisman!
I guess before I could get ashore from the boat, the water ghost jumped out of the water. If it were to drag me into the river and drown, I wouldn't be able to outrun it.
Ghosts are truly invisible, moving quickly and penetrating all the obstacles in front of them. Maybe the water ghost will jump on the boat in the next second, and instead of competing with it and being dragged into the water and drowning after failing to escape, it is better to hold the ghost charm in my hand to make me feel more sure.
I quickly opened the zipper on the side of my backpack and pulled out a palm-sized paper bag from inside. There are twenty talismans drawn by Brother Guo, ten ghost-fighting talismans, and ten ghost-fighting talismans.
As the name suggests, it can hurt ghosts. If a ghost is looking for trouble with me, a talisman attached to it can knock it out. In Brother Guo's words, some of the weaker and haunting ghosts can even break their arms and legs with a ghost-fighting talisman.
There is a big difference between the "ghost fighting charm" and the ghost fighting charm. It can't hurt the ghost, and it can't break the ghost's arms and legs. Its greatest effect is to "suppress ghosts". Holding a ghost charm and sticking it to the door of the ghost's head can freeze the ghost in place for a while, leaving me a gap and squeezing out time to escape.
All the things that came to my mind, the action of pulling out the talisman in my hand, took place in a matter of seconds. The water ghost's hand came out of the water, and it was only three or four seconds to hold on to the side of the boat.
I could clearly see its fingers straining, and the fingers suddenly bent so hard that the tips of the fingers even dug into the plank.
It's about to dehydrate and jump out!
I don't know if this ghost is male or female, or what it wants to do to me. Before I figured out what the other party was thinking, I couldn't be cheap, so I pulled out a ghost-fighting talisman and pasted it on the door of its head. Now for me, the "ghost suppression charm" that can freeze the ghost in place and give me time to escape is the most suitable.
"Whoa......
"Bang!"
There was a sound on the water, and suddenly, right in front of my eyes, a long, black and slender thing came out of the water. Its hand was on the side of the boat, and as it strained up, the whole wooden boat was pressed to one side by the force of its hand.
I tugged at my backpack and slipped from the center of the boat to the side that was being held down. Immediately, its submerged body jumped up and flipped over the boat, and countless water droplets fell from the sky, "popping" and hitting me.
"Bang!" With a thud, it stood on the boat, a large puddle of water flowing rapidly from its feet to my place. In the blink of an eye, the water that flowed down from the water ghost spread in all directions, filling the entire ship's floor.
"Damn, where's my ghost talisman?"
When the water ghost jumped up on the side of the boat just now, its hand pressed down, and the boat tilted at a wide angle to the side. I was smoking the Ghost Charm and I didn't have anything in my hand.
I slid down the slope, and in order not to slip out of the boat into the river, I inadvertently pushed the board with my open hand. My body stopped, but the seven or eight ghost charms ......
I searched left and right, but I couldn't find a single one on the boat.
"Damn, don't you ......?"
I had a foreboding feeling in my heart, and just as I turned my head to look at the river to see if the talismans had slipped into the water, the water ghost standing in front of me slowly lifted its long, white, slender fingers that had been deeply textured from the long bubbles.
It pointed to the center of the Ghost Swallowing River: "Giggle...... Your talisman to suppress ghosts has been swept away by the water......"
