The male passenger looked out through the window at the gray sky, and when he saw it, it was a gray street. There are a few shops scattered along the street, but they look like those of the sixties and seventies, very shabby.

There was no sound in the traffic and it was trembling, as if it were made of paper. There were still some pedestrians on both sides of the road, most of them dressed in black clothes of the same style, the same as the people on the bus, walking along the street with their heads bowed in the same direction, also silent. The whole street is quiet.

The male passenger felt very strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was weird. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, always feeling as if he had seen the style of this dress somewhere...... Ten seconds later, he gasped and finally remembered that he had passed by a wreath shop when he was in school, and he often saw people hanging this dress in the store! It's a shroud!

The male passenger was in a cold sweat, if there was a fluke just now, then now he was completely desperate, and at this moment, the female passenger spoke: "Why do you see how black and white is outside?" ”

This reminded him that he had been bewitched by the dilapidated streets and the "people" in black clothes and trousers, and had not noticed, but now that he had heard her say it, he had noticed that the whole street, including the cars, was all one hue. Except for the two of them, plus the weird girl just now.

The three of them were very conspicuous in the gray car, but he clearly remembered that it was not like this at first, and that it had suddenly turned black and white like this since the girl had woken up.

He whispered to the female passenger, "Have you noticed that it's just the two of us in here, plus her, in color?" He cautiously pointed at Gu Nian, swallowed nervously, and then continued: "Then does this mean that she is indeed a person?" ”

The female passenger nodded slightly, "Seems to be." But she doesn't look like it, you look at the gloomy aura on her body, and it's more credible to say that she is a ghost. I'm also confused. ”

The male passenger was also very hesitant in his heart, not knowing if he could trust the gloomy girl, but he had just heard the driver's promise that he would send them back. In that case, it is better to be at peace with what has come. Otherwise, they have no better way.

The car was about half an hour away, and a square appeared in front of it. There are two buildings in the square, one looks like a railway station, and the railway station is also very dilapidated, and now it is estimated that only small counties will use this kind of building. The other was a bit like a hotel, and the people in black walked into the hotel-like building one after another. There were also many people who were also dressed in black who came out of the hotel and walked into the train station. Of course, all this is silent. Under this gray sky, only the occasional sound of a train horn can be heard.

The car stopped here, and the passengers got out of the car one after another, and the car suddenly became empty, and only the three of them and the driver were left.

The female passenger carefully tugged at the male passenger's sleeve and asked, "Shall we get off the bus?" ”

The male passenger shook his head and said, "Don't get out of the car yet, let's see the situation." ”

He looked at the three-story building through the window, and it looked like it was old, as if it was made of red bricks. The mahogany doors were open, and the men in black were coming in and out. There is a huge plaque on the door, on which are crookedly written the words "more than half a step". On the door of the railway station on the other side, three blood-red characters are composed of iron rods - "one step less".

But this plaque seemed to have some kind of magic, which made him feel like he wanted to go in, and he shook his drowsy head vigorously, intuition that this place could not be entered, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the female passenger had already stood up and stumbled under the car.

The male passenger was in a hurry, and suddenly grabbed the female passenger's arm, but I don't know why, her strength suddenly became very strong, and he couldn't pull it even if he couldn't pull it, so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, a cold snort sounded, and the female passenger finally quieted down, but she still looked stupid, and she didn't seem to have regained her senses, and the male passenger breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Gu Nian gratefully.

Now he can finally be sure that Gu Nian is a human being, and he is a capable person.

He pulled the female passenger to Gu Nian's side and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Meng, do you know where this is?" ”

And the female passenger also whispered: "Hello, my name is Wang Qing." ”

Gu Nian glanced at the three conspicuous big characters outside, "Hello, my name is Gu Nian." The strange woman politely introduced herself before answering the male passenger's question, "It's more than half a step!" Isn't it written there? ”

Zhang Meng was choked by Gu Nian, and muttered for a long time before asking again: "What is the place of more than half a step?" Why does this sound so familiar to me? ”

Gu Nian changed his comfortable posture and began to popularize science for the two stunned children.

"This 'half a step' is a place that leads to the human world, the demon world, and the fairy world. People, gods, and ghosts will all be sharpened in this inn, usually the soul of a person after death must first be brought to the underworld by the ghost, and the soul at this time can not belong to the ghost, and it can only be called a ghost after receiving the ghost heart in this 'half-step' inn. After that, board the 'one step less' train to the underworld, where you will be waiting for the departure. ”

"The place connecting the underworld and the divine realm is called 'Santu Village', the place connecting the divine realm and the human world is called 'Yingzhou', and the place connecting the human world and the underworld is called 'Yin City'. These are all written in the book, and I saw it for the first time today, but I didn't expect this prefecture to be so backward, and I still use green trains. ”

Gu Nian sighed, it turns out that this underworld is not advancing with the times, so it seems that it is still good in the world.

Then she spoke again: "Did you think that 'more than half a step' was very attractive to you just now?" If you got out of the car just now and went there to receive the ghost heart, then you would be completely dead, and the Daluo Immortal would not be able to save you. ”

Hearing this, the young man named Zhang Meng was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, and Wang Qing was the same, she couldn't forget the feeling of her body being out of control just now.

Wang Qing was so frightened that he cried, and grabbed Gu Nian's arm and couldn't stop thanking, "Thank you for saving me!" If it weren't for you, wouldn't I be a ghost by now......"

Gu Nian's most unbearable thing is that others cry, especially this delicate little girl crying, she is numb when she sees people crying, and she is so anxious that she scratches her ears and cheeks like a monkey.

She was sweating and was about to come down, thinking that this little girl was too troublesome, didn't she save it, why did she cry all the time...... Just when her worried hair was about to turn white, she saw an acquaintance in the "one step less" team, Gu Nian's eyes lit up, and she said to the little girl: "Don't cry, how about I take you to hell?" ”
