Chapter 2: A World of Despair
"The erosion of supernatural powers? Ghost Riders? Paranormal buses? Ghost Domain? Messenger? ”
"No......"
Although the conversation of the five people deliberately kept their voices low, the carriage was so big that Li Hui was not far from their seats.
In addition, Li Hui has been deaf and bright since he was a child, and his hearing and eyesight have always been outstanding, although he couldn't hear all the conversations of the five people, most of them still heard clearly.
And that's enough!
From the information revealed when the five people talked and their 'appearance', Li Hui had already vaguely guessed what kind of place he had traveled to.
The five turbid evil worlds, hell is empty, this is a world where ghosts are resurrected, spirits are rampant, and people feel desperate.
"So, that weird red light that appeared on my phone before made me travel to the novel 'Mysterious Recovery'?"
Li Hui's face changed instantly.
Although he complained about the ending of the novel when he read the novel before, and sometimes thought about what would happen if he crossed into the mysterious recovery, it was all from the perspective of a bystander.
To put it bluntly, it's just that I'm idle every day.
If you really want him to travel to such a world where supernatural events are frequent and ghosts are rampant, Li Hui is very reluctant in his heart!
In the words of the online literature circle, this is simply a terrifying world with a hellish level of survival difficulty, and if you are not careful, you will be involved in supernatural events.
Once ordinary people encounter a supernatural event and are targeted by the powerful ghosts, it can be said that they are dead.
Even if you are lucky enough to become a ghost rider and have the initial ability to fight against ghosts, you will soon die from the resurgence of ghosts.
Typically, the lifespan of a ghost rider ranges from a few months to half a year, and the lifespan gradually decreases with the number of times the ghost rider uses its supernatural powers.
Therefore, the ghost riders are a group of short-lived ghosts!
"If I really traveled to the mysterious resurrection, and I traveled directly to the supernatural bus, wouldn't that mean ......?"
As if thinking of something, Li Hui hurriedly looked at a black electronic display screen hanging in the middle of the bus.
At this moment, there happened to be a line of handwriting composed of red lights floating on the electronic screen; Current number of passengers: 3.
"There are three ghosts in the car?"
Li Hui frowned, he knew that this supernatural bus was not actually used to pull people, the passengers that the bus really wanted to pull were ghosts, and the number of passengers displayed on the electronic screen at this moment was the number of ghosts on the car.
Seeing that the number was 3, Li Hui looked more carefully at the scene inside the carriage.
In addition to the driver and himself, there were six people in the car, the old man sitting in the front row and the five people in the middle seat.
Li Hui first locked his eyes on the old man in the front row.
He had vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the old man, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but now he knew.
The gray kaftan on the old man's body, including the black hat he wore on his head, was very different from the modern clothing style, which was the style of the seventies and eighties of the last century.
The main thing is the exposed skin of the elderly.
Wrinkles and age spots are fine, and some elderly people will have them for various reasons, but the dark red marks on the skin are very problematic.
Li Hui didn't think about it before, thinking it was a birthmark, but the number was a bit large, but now it seems that the dark red mark is a corpse spot!
An old man covered in corpse spots sat quietly on the bus, less than ten meters away from Li Hui, which had a great impact on his heart, the spirit of materialism was being rewritten, and an emotion called fear was growing in the bottom of his heart.
It's not the same as reading a novel and watching TV.
At that time, he was a bystander, and there was no fear at all, but now that he has become an insider, a terrible ghost has indeed appeared in front of him, and fear is the emotion that a normal person should have.
Shaking his head and forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, Li Hui forced himself not to look at the old man anymore, and instead looked at the other five passengers in the middle of the carriage with an inexplicable expression.
"Got the devil in their midst?"
Li Hui can basically be sure that the old man in the front row is a ghost, so the rest of the ghosts will also be generated among the other people.
Of course.
It is not excluded that the rest of the ghosts in the car belong to the type of ghosts that have no body or are invisible to the naked eye, such as 'Nightmares'.
But Li Hui still thinks that the probability that one of the five people is a ghost is greater.
"Several of them have communicated before, and they all seem to be messengers from the ghost post office, and from the mental state, none of the five of them look like ghosts, but from the outside, none of them are ...... normal."
Recalling the appearance of the five people turning their heads to look at themselves just now, Li Hui's brows furrowed even deeper.
He remembered very well that of the five, the man at the front looked the most terrifying, his face was covered with scars, his skin and flesh were turned out, and the flesh on his nose was gone, only bones remained, and his eyes were red and bloodshot inside.
The others, although not so scary, were not much better, and they all had some obvious strange features on their bodies.
For example, the only woman among the five, although her body was normal, her eyes were pitch black, there was no white part of the eye, it was as black as ink, and her gaze was unusually cold.
At that time, she glanced at Li Hui, which made Li Hui feel like he was being targeted by a powerful ghost, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Which one is the ghost?"
Li Hui's gaze scanned back and forth over the five people for a long time, and he couldn't determine which of them was a powerful ghost, mainly because the five of them were all ghost handlers, so they all looked like powerful ghosts.
This situation is more terrifying than knowing that the old man in the front row is a terrible ghost, after all, the unknown is often more terrifying!
After looking at it a few more times, Li Hui, who was ultimately fruitless, chose to give up, only hoping that the next stop of the bus could enter the real world, so that he could get off directly, so that even if the car was a ghost, it had nothing to do with him.
Of course, the premise is that no ghost gets out of the car with him.
………
"I don't know what the current timeline is, whether it's before the Hungry Ghost event or after the Hungry Ghost event......
Li Hui, who has read the original book, knows that the starving ghost incident is a watershed in the plot of "Mysterious Recovery", and the protagonist Yang Jian is a half-outlier in the starving ghost incident.
The reason why Li Hui has such doubts is mainly because the scene in the supernatural bus is somewhat different from the original book he read.
He was the only one in the last row of the carriage.
Lin Bei, who became the captain in the later part of the original book, and Xu Feng, who received a boxed lunch early, were nowhere to be seen, and they didn't know if they hadn't gotten into the car yet, or they had already suppressed the throbbing of the resuscitation of the ghosts in their bodies and had gotten out of the car.
If it is the former, it means that the starvation ghost incident in Dachang City has not yet broken out, and the timeline is still in the early stage.
Because Yang Jian experienced the supernatural bus after dealing with the starving ghost incident, Xu Feng and they had been on the bus for seven or eight days at that time.
But if Lin Bei and the others have already suppressed the powerful ghosts in their bodies and got off the car, then it means that the timeline has developed to the middle stage, and the starving ghost incident has already broken out.
For Li Hui.
It's important to understand the current timeline, which means how he's going to fit into this desperate world next.
As a big fan of the mysterious recovery, Li Hui has studied various time periods of the mysterious recovery, and in his spare time, he has also thought about what to do when he travels to different timelines.
Unfortunately, there is currently no reference for him to confirm the timeline.
The only thing that can be determined is that the current time is before the national war, because the supernatural buses are still running intact, sending the ghosts to various supernatural places.
However, what Li Hui didn't know was that the appearance of a powerful ghost next made him preliminarily determine the approximate timeline.
