Chapter 19: The Old Man and the Newcomer
Late at night, a tourist bus with a speed of about 60 yards was driving lonely in the mountains. The dense woods whistling on both sides were terrifying in the deep darkness, and the branches that were blown by the mountain wind shook like demons dancing wildly, making people feel terrified.
But what is even more frightening is that there is no driver in the driver's seat of this tourist bus driving in the deep mountains and old forests! A tour bus without a driver but still driving smoothly can't help but wonder if it is some unknown mysterious force that is manipulating this car!
And where is its destination?
Is it the dark depths that no one knows?
Or is that even more frightening hell?
Or something else!
……
[There are people talking, the seats shaking slightly, and the sound of the wind whistling by...... Did you come to that horrific event again? 】
The awakened Jiang Liu did not open his eyes for the first time, but pretended to be asleep! Listen carefully to the sound of conversation in your ears.
"Judging from the rules of this mission! It's a life-type paranormal event! What do you think? ”
A slightly mature male voice sounded first, followed by another slender voice, which sounded like it was not very old, about 20 to 25 years old, female.
"If you look at it purely from the requirements of the mission, the seven days seem to represent some kind of hint! We were given seven days, and I think we were very willing to encounter a lot of danger during those seven days. ”
"Hey, I hope this life path is not too obscure, otherwise not only these newcomers, but even both of us may die in this supernatural event!"
"Don't look down on yourself too much, we didn't live until we died! As for these newcomers...... the woman paused before adding, "It's up to their luck!" We can help, but if we can't, we can only give up. ”
"That's all there is to it." The man sighed helplessly.
There was silence again.
[From their conversation, it can be seen that these two people seem to have gone through many missions!] I heard the man say that this mission will take seven days, and there will be a lot of dangers in seven days! …… And there are newcomers? Does it refer to someone who is experiencing such a horrific supernatural event for the first time? 】
"Huh?"
Jiang Liu, who was not pretending to be asleep, deliberately made a little noise, attracting the attention of the two people who spoke just now, and then opened his eyes and pretended to look around in confusion. After hearing the movement, the two people who were talking tacitly looked in the direction of the river.
When he was acting. He found himself in a car, it was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see where it was, but he could still see the dense woods on both sides of the driveway, and he guessed that it was really deep in the old forest.
In addition to him and the two people who were talking, there were four other people in the car, two men and two women, who were asleep. Finally, he shifted his gaze to the two men he had just been talking to.
The boys and girls wore almost all gray casual clothes, which looked like a couple.
The boy has a flat head, with a pair of black-framed square eyes, and the delicate face makes the boy look a lot thinner, and the girl is very delicate, with a standard melon seed face, layered eyes, and a shoulder-to-shoulder ponytail that makes the girl look like a goddess.
Just as Jiang Liu was looking at the two, the two were also looking at him, when they saw Jiang Liu's confused but not panicked performance. The two looked at each other and nodded, and they both saw in each other's eyes a look of surprise and satisfaction for this newcomer.
"Hello, I am Li Lin, the instructor of this time, you can also call me Brother Li, as for the beauty next to me, her name is Xu Qian, it is mine...... Partner! ”
The man was the first to speak, first introducing his identity and name, and then pointing to the girl next to him. The woman named Xu Qian looked a little gloomy when she heard the man's last words, but she quickly put away the gloom and smiled at Jiang Liu and nodded.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Liu, the river that flows endlessly." Jiang Liu also introduced himself.
"You're the calmest newcomer I've ever met!" The man opened his mouth and praised the river.
"Then I will be honored, but I have experienced it before, so I don't feel panicked now." Jiang Liu said a few words modestly.
"You've experienced this kind of paranormal event before?"
"Well, I experienced a situation half a month ago when I suddenly appeared somewhere else like this."
"No wonder you're so calm as a newcomer, but I'm curious what your last paranormal event was?" Li Lin understood the reason why the young man in front of him was so calm at this time.
"It's similar to a game like Close Your Eyes When It's Dark, and you need to find out the identity of the ghost!" Jiang Liu briefly talked about the rules of the game.
Li Lin said thoughtfully: "It turned out to be a life-type supernatural event, no wonder you behaved differently from other newcomers, it seems that we have picked up a treasure this time!" ”
After Xu Qian on the side heard the words "Life Road Type Supernatural Event", her eyes flickered obviously, and her gaze towards Jiang Liu changed a little, no longer the kind of gaze that seemed to look at a dead person at the beginning, and there was a trace of surprise in her eyes.
"A life-type paranormal event? Listening to you say this, are there several kinds of supernatural events? ”
"Well, but it's roughly divided into two kinds, one is the life-type supernatural event I just talked about, and the mortality rate of this supernatural event is very high! , Except for the old man in the safe zone, once the other newcomers encounter this kind of supernatural event, it is basically the rhythm of group annihilation. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Liu's heart began to sink, recalling the first two supernatural events, his luck can be said to be very unlucky, three times in a row were this kind of life-type supernatural events with a high mortality rate, but his luck was excellent, because the first two supernatural events he had survived safely, but I don't know what kind of supernatural event this time will be?
"Although the other kind of supernatural event is relatively simple compared to the life-type supernatural event, it is the last supernatural event that we old people want to encounter." Speaking of this, Li Jing's expression on the side was a little wrong.
Li Lin sensed that something was wrong with Xu Qian's emotions, and he knew the reason when he thought about it, so he paused for a moment before saying, "This kind of supernatural event is called an unknown supernatural event by us. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It means ....."
Just as Li Lin was about to explain, the other newcomers in the car woke up and interrupted the conversation between them
The first to wake up was a short-haired girl, and judging by her clothes, she should be a student girl who was going to school. The student girl opened her eyes and found that she was in a strange environment, not far in front of her, there were 2 men and a woman looking at her, and there were other unconscious people beside her, thinking that Jiang Liu and the 3 of them were bandits, and they were kidnapped by them.
"I don't have any money! You can't get much ransom for kidnapping me, so why don't I give you all the money on my body, and you let me go? ”
As he spoke, he began to rummage through his wallet, Jiang Liu and Li Lin on the side, you look at me, I look at you, how can you not connect yourself with the bandits, I don't know why the student sister will be the bandit kidnapped among them.
"I thought the quality of the newcomers this time would be very good, it seems that you are just a special case!" Li Lin looked at the student girl who was already crying because she couldn't find her wallet, and said helplessly to Jiang Liu.
"After all, after all, I am also a person who has experienced a supernatural event, and looking at her should be the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, this kind of behavior is very normal."
Xu Qian, who is also a woman, was a little unbearable at this time, and stood up to comfort the student girl: "Don't worry, we are not bad people, nor are we kidnappers!" ”
After hearing Xu Qian's explanation, the girl looked at her with teary eyes: "If you are not kidnappers!" So how did I end up in this place? ”
Xu Qian looked at the blank expression of the student girl, and couldn't bear to say some words, but Li Lin on the side opened her mouth and said
"Well, I'll explain it to her. Actually, we're all victims, just like you, but it's not a kidnapping. Or rather, we are all a group of poor people who have been played by fate, and the place we are in now can no longer be regarded as the real world, but in a strange space full of ghosts! ”
