Chapter Thirty-Eight: Ghost Traces, Crimson Road

The maple leaves fall slowly with the evening breeze and drift around.

The autumn scenery is beautiful in the sunset, but Brenner's mood is a little gloomy, and the young girl in a red plaid shirt and jeans holds a notebook to find and lock on to a large mansion next to the road.

"Bell bell bell"

It was an old-fashioned doorbell, and the dogs in the house neighed and roared.

"It's alright, Bron, it's alright. The dog's growl gradually subsided with the whisper of comfort from an old man, and then the door creaked open a crack, and after seeing that there was only a young girl outside the door, the old woman with short silver hair unchained the door and opened it.

"Son, who are you looking for?"

"Well, I'm taking the liberty to bother, I've called beforehand but never got through, are you Lady Elise?"

"That's right. ”

"I, I was introduced by Ms. Kayla, and she told me that you are a very good ...... Uh" The young girl with long brown and black hair seemed to have some difficult words, but fortunately, the other party apparently understood.

"I'm sorry, kid, I've been a psychic for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anyway. Lady Elise reached back and stroked her hair, refusing to speak.

"Uh...... So, ah, that's sorry to bother. Coming full of hope, the joy of just finding the other party surged into his heart, and he was poured cold water, and Brenner's expression suddenly became a little sad.

"Come in and sit down, it's a long way from the Nobdelt Forest, and although I can't help you with anything, it's good to come in and have some coffee to warm up. Turning back into the house, the old man said.

"You!?How do you know I'm coming through the Norbudert Forest...... Is this the power of the medium?" Brenner said with some surprise as he sat down in his chair as he entered the somewhat eerie, somewhat Gothic room.

"No, it doesn't have anything to do with the medium, it's just that the needles on your shoulders don't have in this town, and this kind of cold season leaf is the leaf that the Owl Dragons used to nest in the Norbuderte Forest, so it's not very difficult to guess where you came from. As she spoke, the old woman handed Brenner's cup of coffee a fragrant cup to him.

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. There is still a lot of sadness left in your eyebrows and eyes, if you don't mind, you can confide in me, although I haven't been doing that for a long time, but if you can say the things that have accumulated in your heart, it will still be much easier. ”

“............”

"If you mind, forget it. Lady Elise took a sip from her glass.

"It was a year and a half ago that my mother died. She had cancer, and the ** was first removed, but then the virus spread to her lungs. As he spoke, tears like jade beads fell in large drops.

"She's a really nice mom, she gets along with all my friends, she's always trying to talk to me, she's always trying to talk to me, I'm always impatient at that time......"

"Oh, poor child, she doesn't blame you, she never blames you. Children have difficulty communicating with their parents, which is a problem that every family encounters. ”

"Thank you, ma'am. Taking the handkerchief handed by the other party, Brenner tidied up his appearance, and then continued: "After my mother died, I could always feel that she was still by my side, and when I was alone, sometimes the things in the room would move by themselves. ”

"Oh, maybe you think I'm crazy, but I think there's something my mom wants to say to me, and I, really, really want to see her again. ”

Looking at the girl in front of her, Mrs. Elise only felt that her heart was throbbing, and she could deeply feel the pain of just losing her loved one...... Because she had just lost her husband.

There was silence for a while, just as Brenner packed his things and prepared to leave.

"Okay, then make an exception, I can also feel that there is a yin spirit hovering around you, and she should have something to say to you. Rubbing her cheeks with the palm of her hand, Lady Elise spoke.

Brenner, the young girl across from her, looked surprised and began to flip through her package.

"I have some money here, although not much"

"Take it back, kid. If I take your money, then I will enter the industry again, I swear to myself that I will never use my ability again, and this time I will not take your money, it can be regarded as a marginal ball. Originally, we should have gone to the study below, but ...... Forget it this time. He reached out and pressed the lamp beside him, for the windows of Lady Elise's house were covered with thick curtains, so the whole room became dark as soon as the lamp was extinguished.

"First of all, what's your mother's name?"

"Lily, her name is Lily. ”

"Good. Whatever happens, don't panic, because when you successfully summon a deceased, it is likely that all the deceased will hear your call. So let's be quiet, and just call Lily next to you. "Old lady Elise is undoubtedly professional, dark and mysterious space, full of ritual prelude, that complex and strange incantation, when the old lady closed her eyes, she felt as if she had dissolved into another world, a netherworld that mortals should not peep into, touch, and enter.

"Lily, Lily...... This girl is next to the world again, she misses you, she misses you, and she is willing to be your support to let you appear again. ”

With the chanting of the incantation, a cold feeling gradually enveloped Brenner's whole body from behind, and the surroundings became darker and darker, and the content of the incantation of Old Lady Elise also made Brenner feel more and more intensely uneasy.

"No, no...... I, I'm gone, I'm gone, let me go. Struggling to retreat, Brenner found that the palms of the other party's hands grasping his wrists were like iron tongs, and in front of the brown-black long-haired girl, the flesh on Lady Elise's cheeks fell off one by one, and when she turned into a skinless demon, her blood-colored eyes suddenly opened!

However, it was only at this moment that the young girl Brenner really realized that it was not her mother who had been hovering around her after her mother's death and peeping at her.

Forcibly breaking through the boundaries of life and death is the greatest obsession and long-cherished wish of mortals.

........................

Nobudelt Forest, a bus full of laughter and music.

"What happens if we die in this world?" whispered the silver-haired little Lori as she looked out the car window.

"Although you won't die, I suggest that you better not do it, the strong are always strong This is the way of heaven, you forcibly die in the mental world and bounce back to the real world, it doesn't seem to hurt you much, but I suspect that the part of the spiritual power lost is extracting your foundation, once or twice may not be nothing, if there are too many times, not only will the promotion potential be exhausted, but people will also go crazy." Sitting at the back of the bus opposite Yi Wen, Zhu Peng said while looking at a book with a red cover.

Ghost people have never been gentle teachers, and if such a mental world is used well, it can make the cultivators of the Shadow Mask Meditation Method gain a large amount of advance food, but the total amount of "resources" is a certain amount, and if someone earns, someone must lose, and the weak eat the strong and survive the fittest, which is also very in line with the temperament of the ghost person.

"It's really troublesome, so how long are we going to stay in this world?"

"Rest assured, time in this world flows much faster than the outside world, and if you are attacked outside and encounter danger, you can be forced to eject. Although you are in Charlotte's Lionheart Fortress, there is no danger to you. ”

At this time, the bearded driver who was listening to the stereo humming a song suddenly saw a blurry white shadow through the light of the headlights, he frowned slightly and stretched his neck forward, but he saw clearly that it was a girl in white who slowly twisted her head out of a strange arc, and her eyes were straight to the heart.

"Snort"

The tires rubbed against the mud in the woods, and the frightened bearded old driver forgot that he was not on an asphalt highway, but on a mountain trail.

The violent braking and side movement suddenly made the whole bus suddenly unbalanced, and the huge body of the car suddenly flipped and rolled on the sideways slope like a flying smash, and the fierce screams filled the bus with the stereo on for a while.

"I knew it was going to happen. ”

"Woo, you knew this was going to happen?" After a long time, when the car stopped rolling, Zhu Peng got up from Yiwen's body in the blood-soaked carriage.

Just at the moment of the accident, Zhu Peng, who had been flipping through the book, suddenly pounced on Yi Wen with his body, and held the handles on both sides of Yi Wen's chair with his arms and elbows, and then no matter what kind of chaos the carriage rolled over, he tightly pressed his body and pressed Yi Wen to death on the chair, and when everything calmed down, Zhu Peng panted and stood up.

"The goose has left a voice, the person dies and leaves a name, the mentor has dominated the world for so long, of course, it will leave some traces, I advocate fair competition, extreme challenges, and the ghost man mentor prefers to use fear to force out the potential of the disciple, and even all the operating mechanisms and underlying logic of this world are constructed by him, such a long road, not encountering some horror accidents is not the teacher's consistent style. ”

"That's true, that's the style of the guru. The little blushing was so red that Yiwen looked at Zhu Peng and gasped.

Climb out with an emergency hammer to break through the glass, and in the process of being in distress just now, anyone who firmly fixed himself in the seat often did not suffer any injuries, but unfortunately more than 50 people in the car did this only in the single digits, and the body with the potential energy everywhere, it was really immortal and disabled.

The fat driver, who had no seat belt on his own, was now lying on the steering wheel with blood on his head, his eyes open but out of breath.

"Treat the wounded, check if there is a leak in gasoline, and also find your own phone number to call the fire brigade in the town on both sides, fuck, it happened to be in the middle of the road. "A gray-haired tough uncle has a lot of experience in dealing with things, and there is nothing to do in this situation, so Zhu Peng and Yiwen also followed to help...... According to these two people's understanding of the teacher's temperament, this matter will never be over, and the more joyful the dance at this time, the more miserable the death will be in the end.

Someone called, someone dragged the wounded alive out of the compartment, someone overhauled the overturned car, and at this time no one thought that such a car could still be started, and the overhaul at this time was only to prevent it from exploding.

Because Zhu Peng and Yiwen looked relatively young, they were assigned the job of finding food and property by the tough uncle, which is suitable for young people to do, and let adults do it, maybe it will be a violation of the law afterwards.

To Zhu Peng's surprise, in the case of the spread of fog around the wilderness, this call for help was actually connected.

But it was late at night, and it would take at least six to eight hours to get to the site of the incident, meaning that all the survivors would have to spend the night here.

"Very good, there are only fourteen of us, there will be a rescue team to save us tomorrow, so now everyone remove the tires and burn them, and bake something to eat by the way, I don't want people who don't die in the overturned car to end up dying of a cold." "Some people cry, some people moan because of the pain, everyone is a little exhausted after half a night, and it is indeed an excellent choice to replenish energy in time.

In the face of great disasters and terrible predicaments, when the stomach is filled with food, the strength is refreshed, and everything seems to be no longer so difficult and unbearable.

Zhu Peng even found a pot in the car, lit the tires and poured mineral water into it, and then stirred and boiled it with various foods: ham, bread, and instant noodles were gathered together and finally boiled a bunch of things that could not be said to be anything, but the aroma was so mushy that the soup was mushy, and when he ate and drank it, the taste buds were sweet and mellow, and his body, which was originally shivering from the cold night and fog, became warm.

"Hmph, I didn't have this taste when I ate foie gras and caviar in a five-star restaurant...... Mom!" "Eating and eating, a fat man in a suit cried, he was able to survive purely because of the thick meat and good luck, at this moment he was covered with wounds, and even the opening of his forehead was still oozing blood, but he didn't care about swallowing the soup paste he had shared, and looked at Zhu Peng greedily after eating.

"Let's wait a minute, take care of those who can't move, this pot hasn't been cooked yet. "Fourteen people who can move, plus more than a dozen seriously injured survivors, a small pot boiling once or twice can't satisfy their stomachs at all, so Zhu Peng boiled pot after pot, stirring with a broken iron plate as a rice spoon, soup boxes and the like are enough, there is no iron or plastic, and the bucket of instant noodles is also eaten.

Zhu Peng boiled pot by pot, stirred pot by pot, this body was not very strong after all, and the dripping sweat flowed out under the double urging of flame and labor.

Yiwen frowned slightly, walked up to wipe the sweat from her cheeks for Zhu Peng, and she whispered, "It's so hard for these guys?"

"The fog outside was so thick that I always felt like there was something hidden inside. To help them is to help ourselves, I know that you have a magic spirit ball on your waist, and Angry Snow also came in with you, but listen to me, don't make a move, once we expose all the firepower, we will be attracted to us, but follow them, the two of us should be the least likely to die. After talking about this thick-skinned and black-hearted experience, Zhu Peng served bowls of food for everyone to share.

The gray-haired tough uncle couldn't look at it, he walked up and said, "Boy, you can rest for a while, eat two bowls and slow down, and I'll cook the next pot, isn't it just a mess, and it's not very difficult." ”

It turns out that everything that seems simple is not so easy when it really falls into your hands.

The third pot of mushy soup was obviously very unpalatable, but fortunately, everyone was relatively full with the previous two pots at the bottom, and everyone was in high spirits when swallowed in the third bowl.

Zhu Peng and Yi Wen were wrapped in blankets and fell asleep beside the fire burning between everyone, of course, Zhu Peng guarded in the first half of the night, and Yiwen guarded in the second half of the night, so it was impossible for these two to hand over their lives to the people around them to guard.

The night passed, Zhu Peng was awakened by the screams of extreme panic as an alarm clock, he stood up suddenly, and Yiwen on the side noticed that a sharp dagger popped out of his right sleeve, and after his eyes scanned the surroundings, he retracted like a venomous snake with life.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it was convenient for that Hayley to go to the back of the car just now, and suddenly"

In other words, something happened. By this time, the crowd had already run to the back of the car where the screams came.

What I saw was that Hayley was sitting on the ground, she was crying and screaming and retreating, and with her pointing, everyone's eyes moved to see that the fat man in the suit died tragically on the spot yesterday, he was disemboweled, and the internal organs in his chest were basically hollowed out, almost just a bloody hole.

When everyone was a little overwhelmed, another scream came from the other side, and the tough middle-aged man in the crowd grabbed his head hard and seemed to feel that he was going crazy, but he still scratched his head and ran quickly in the direction where the scream came from, Zhu Peng and Yiwen looked at each other and chose to follow.

Now the whole camp is in chaos, it turns out that this morning, the women who were caring for more than a dozen seriously injured people found that all the people around them were out of breath...... More than a dozen people died overnight, and those who died loved ones and friends were grief-stricken, and some of them even lost their minds to settle accounts with the women who cared for them.

"You went to bed last night, and someone took care of you overnight, and now if something goes wrong, you will find someone to settle the account?"

"Michael is dead, Michael is dead. The murderer, the murderer must be among these women, otherwise everyone's injuries will deteriorate overnight, which doesn't make sense at all. The young man, who had been stopped by the tough uncle Lambert, hissed and shouted, his name was Court, and the dead Michael was his brother.

"I don't care who I have, what kind of suspicion there is, it won't be long before the rescue team comes, and then the police will catch the murderer. Lambert said, glancing at the crowd.

"Who do you think you are?" it wasn't Young Court, but someone in the crowd shouted.

"Why, just this. As he spoke, Lambert threw out a sphere with his hand, and after the brilliance flickered, a great black mantis of excellent quality was suspended in mid-air.

As soon as the identity of Lambert's demon envoy was revealed, everyone was in an uproar and then was suppressed, in this world, the demon represents power, and a demon spirit envoy here represents the absolute violence to kill everyone.

At this moment, the camp was in panic, suppressed or protected by Lambert's absolute violence.

........................

"If Lambert wasn't the murderer, then he did the right thing, and the more you fear playing chess against someone like the Ghost Mentor, the worse you'll end up losing. However, when he said this, Zhu Peng's words paused.

"But what?"

But he was wrong, the rescue team would never come, or there would never be a rescue team. As he spoke, Zhu Peng handed over a mobile phone to Yi Wen, and after Yi Wen took it, she clicked through the call logs, and her little face gradually became difficult to look at.

"Why, there is no record of calls for help?"

"Those two guys on the phone are either ghosts or have been tricked by illusions. However, since I was able to steal the phone from them, it means that the Guru's secret hand should not be on them, and it is very likely that the latter. ”

"Then what should I do now?" Looking at the fog around her, at this moment, Yi Wen also felt the pressure in her heart, she finally understood why Zhu Peng said that if she can survive the mental image world, she can get food, and she can advance by leaps and bounds, this is simply the spy world dedicated to wizards under the God Eater system, under the management of the ghost man mentor, if you don't want to go completely crazy, your strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds, or even if you advance by leaps and bounds, people are not far from being completely crazy.

"Don't jump too much, don't show too much, both of us are currently the least threatening, even if there are ghosts hiding around us, the first target will never be us. We were right behind Uncle Lambert, waiting, waiting for that guy to pop up. Throwing the phone into the grass on the side, Zhu Peng said.

Paper, after all, can't contain the fire.

Uncle Lambert thought that after a few hours, the rescue team would come and take over and he would be able to relieve himself, but after waiting for two hours, no one came, and after another hour, no one came, and the mood of the remaining thirteen people in the camp gradually became a little chaotic.

"Call, urge, now these government agencies, the efficiency is really terrible. Lambert roared loudly, deliberately leading everyone's emotions to dissatisfaction with the government, and the venting of negative emotions would make everyone forget their current situation, and he himself came to a woman who was talking loudly with a phone, and snatched the phone from the other party's hand when the other party called.

Lambert raised his hand and saw that the phone was out of battery, but it was not only him who was angry, the middle-aged woman with blonde hair and red lips was also full of collapse, because she could see Lambert taking away her phone, but the voice of explanation in her ear was still chattering and explaining......

"Ahhhh

"Okay, okay, don't scream, don't scream, you should have fallen for some kind of dark magic, don't blame you, don't blame you. It was easy to calm down the broken woman, but the news of the lack of a rescue team had already spread among everyone, and the color of fear spread on everyone's faces, and panic was brewing.

"Don't look like a bear, it's just a more powerful dark demon. No matter how powerful the demon is, isn't it us humans who occupy this world? Renault, make some more food for everyone, and after eating, we go outside, each demon has its own hunting range, and the more powerful the demon, the more so, so as long as we get out of its hunting range, it will be fine. Lambert said in a big way, he deliberately built up confidence and ignited hope for everyone, otherwise he really didn't know what kind of dark beast these people who were completely desperate would become, and then it would really be doomed.

Yesterday was to rest and sleep, so Zhu Peng made a warm and digestible multigrain paste for everyone, and today is a long journey, so Zhu Peng made bread slices and baked sausages for everyone, mixed with baked potatoes.

Of course, in terms of Zhu Peng's means, giving him two eggplants can bake the flavor of fish, so even bread, sausages, potatoes and other things are still made by him pure and fragrant, and the aroma is overflowing.

After munching on their mouths, the remaining thirteen of the last survivors walked out of the Misty Sector with all the salutes they could gather.

"We don't have to hike through the Norbudert Forest, as long as we leave the hunting area of the dark demon, we can call for help, I must ask my reporter friends to report everything here, when the time comes, a large number of powerful demon envoys will run here, and I will see how many days the dark demon can be at ease." Lambert shouted loudly in front, and the atmosphere in the procession became less oppressive as he spoke.

"Actually, we're going around in circles, right?" Yi Wen whispered as she leaned over to Zhu Peng's side.

"Shhh ”

As Zhu Peng and Yi Wen whispered, on the slope of the same thick fog in the distance, a pitch-black giant bear of different species chewed up a human bone, and all kinds of white bones were all around it, human, beast, and even some bones with the shape of demons.

This xenomorph black bear has some of the characteristics of a lion and a tiger at the same time, and it is surrounded by a faint white energy entanglement...... This strange beast can control the dead spirit, just like the tiger spirit in ancient Chinese legends to control ghosts, and its strength and spirituality have reached an extremely high level.

Round after round of circles, even if Zhu Peng and Yiwen consciously took care of the aftermath, they were still discovered in the end, and someone exploded at that time, took out a fruit knife and rushed at Lambert with red eyes, but Lambert didn't use the demon, and directly kicked the kid down, cleanly.

"I really don't have any tricks, if any of you are willing to continue to follow me, I will let you follow, whoever is like this kid, leave the team quickly, I saved people and rescued the mistake. "No one left the team, and in the end, the young man named Court was abandoned by everyone, which was actually Lambert's new move: the outcast tactic.

After all, the dark envoy demon is just trying to eat people, so eliminating some disobedient people in the team and leaving them to fend for themselves can also delay the time when the dark envoy demon finally tries to see the dagger, and now Lambert has done everything to survive.

"Bastards, bastards, those bastards actually left me. When the tall bear monster appeared in front of him, Court's mental defense line completely collapsed, and a large number of tears flowed from his eyes, Courter raised his burden to his head to save his life, but the screams, bone cracking, and flesh tearing sound still spread in the mist, this darkness made the demon kill more than just satisfy the appetite, it can gain more power in the killing.

About half an hour later, Lambert walked here again with eleven people, and saw Court, who had been torn apart and gnawed into the shape of a man.

Lambert stepped forward with a solemn expression and opened Court's package with his feet, and found that neither the meat nor the canned food had moved at all, not only did he not eat these, but the dark envoy only ate the most delicate internal organs, and it did not even take most of the meat away, this was no longer a simple beast hunting habit.

"How's it going, will you win?"

"It's enough, look at this posture, even if you and I do our best, this Lambert has to do my best, so that there is a chance of two to three percent, the problem is that this Lambert has lost his courage, he has obviously been frightened, only you and me, it is difficult to run in this case. Looking at the marks on the ground that had been smashed by a huge force, and looking at the torn corpse of Court, Zhu Peng's pupils dilated slightly, and he took all the information into his eyes, calculating and calculating.

After the development of the situation, it also proved Zhu Peng's judgment, Lambert became more and more anxious, and there were gradually people in the team who couldn't keep up, and slowly everyone understood what Lambert meant, the abandoned woman was thrown farther and farther away, and then Lambert gradually slowed down...... Now it has become a static walking competition to see who can survive in the end, using the bones of a weak person to increase the chances of others to live, but what cannot be held up one step ahead of physical fitness is the load of people's hearts.

"Aren't you a demon envoy? you just watched these people die one by one?" a man shouted hoarsely at Lambert, but the tough uncle who had always behaved very tough in front of everyone was expressionless.

"Don't want to continue to follow me, feel free, I didn't force you. "It's hard to say that Lambert's approach is wrong, knowing that he can't beat him and send him to death?
