Chapter 50: It's Dark Under the Lamp
Xiong Wenwen was a little frightened by the fierce shouting, and he looked submissive.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place."
He felt the dangerous aura all over Shen Lin's body and added a little aggrievedly.
"What's wrong, look at what I'm doing! Isn't that how it's done in TV dramas!"
It was like a storm swept through his mind. Shen Lin took out his mobile phone immediately. Damn it, there was no signal. This damn thing had expected this.
There is a ghost outside the door. In order to avoid accidents, they should try to have as little contact with the ghost as possible.
Can we just wait until six o'clock tomorrow morning? I hope nothing unexpected happens.
Shen Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole body exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
Xiong Wenwen's funny words completely made him capture the white dove of inspiration, and one of the countless broken pictures popped up in his mind.
That was when he was combing Li Meng's body in front of the hospital bed, and he saw the weird staircase tattoo on Li Meng's body.
At first he thought it was a ghost slave mark or some kind of mark, but now it seems that this is far from the truth.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find clues. The more than thirty corpses in front of you show varying degrees of decay, but all of them are normal corpse decay. There has never been a body like Li Meng with black and blue body and long black nails. , a transformation like a ghost.
This in itself is too unusual.
When Shen Lin used the ability of the Upside Down Ghost to reverse Li Meng's physical condition, he also encountered some resistance. He originally thought this was a normal phenomenon, but now it seems that this is the instinctive resistance from the ghost staircase.
Shen Lin was fooled. The ghost was once infinitely close to him.
He is in Li Meng's body!
The ghost possessed Li Meng the moment he rescued him, hiding everything from the outside world.
Wait, that’s not quite right. If this is the case, what is the purpose of this ghost thing?
Shen Lin thought again that these corpses all showed symptoms of natural death.
So how to explain Li Meng's lack of consciousness and intact body?
Wait, wait.
Li Meng may not necessarily have lost consciousness, but may have been suppressed. He was suppressed by the Ghost Staircase!
It was like there was a thread running through everything, and Shen Lin connected everything in an instant.
The ghost's ambition to hide things from the outside world is greater than he imagined. If people control ghosts, they control ghosts, but what about ghosts controlling people?
Man Controller! After that guy gained wisdom, in order to hide in the city, he wanted to get a human body to hide for him to avoid attacks from Shen Lin, other ghost controllers, and even the headquarters.
It has calculated everything!
Shen Lin even thought of more terrible consequences, if everything was estimated according to the worst-case scenario.
Because of the ghost staircase's plan, Shen Lin was successfully trapped and killed by the watchman ghost, and he fell. From then on, no one knew about Li Meng's anomaly.
Shen Lin once reported to the headquarters that the ghost staircase may be intelligent, but he also learned recently that this ghost has intelligence comparable to that of humans, or even beyond normal humans. If he falls like this, the headquarters will not know all this.
The fall of Shen Lin is destined that no one can stop it. After the Ghost Staircase has obtained enough time to successfully annihilate or control Li Meng's consciousness, it will disguise itself as a normal person or a ghost controller to join the headquarters.
This is an alien disguised as a human being. If it works well, it will cause unimaginable blows to the headquarters.
Terrible, terrifying, unimaginable.
Shen Lin subconsciously glanced at the date on his watch.
It had been two days and one night since he left Daxia City. Although Li Meng had returned to normal after his sorting out, it could be inferred from the normal situation that Li Meng could no longer hold on and that ghost was about to succeed.
This conjecture was so terrifying that Shen Lin felt that he and others must rush back to Daxia City immediately. If the ghost really succeeded, it would be almost impossible to catch it from now on.
It can control Li Meng, and naturally it can also control other people. Everyone visible to the naked eye on the street may be its host. It will hide in the dark and become the most ferocious snake, arriving at the most critical moment. Your last resort to death, the straw that broke the camel's back.
"We can't wait any longer. I probably know where that ghost is. We have to set off immediately." Shen Lin said.
They originally planned to wait until after six o'clock in the morning to completely avoid the ghost watch before leaving, but the situation can't keep up with the changes. The most important thing now is the ghost staircase. No one knows what extent this ghost thing has reached now. There are so many ghosts now. Waiting for a second adds to the danger.
"Ah? Are you sure you don't want to wait? The ghost watcher is too fierce, I suggest you wait." Xiong Wenwen is a little timid. He has seen the horror of the watchman ghost. It is inevitable that some people will not be scared. No one wants to face this one at this stage. Fierce ghost.
"Something happened. I suspect that Ghost Staircase wants to achieve a similar situation to the ghost controller by controlling people." Shen Lin said.
"Wait a minute, it's a bit confusing, I'll deal with it." Zhou Bin was stunned for a while, and after a while, he looked horrified.
"You mean, this ghost wants to be a ghost controller? No, a human controller? Is this possible?"
This was simply unbelievable, and Zhou Bin was somewhat knowledgeable, but such an appalling idea still shocked him. If the person being described was not Shen Lin, he would definitely say that this person was out of his mind.
"Nothing is impossible. Since the resurgence of terror, we have known very little about Li Gui. Li Gui itself is full of strange things, so it is not surprising to have such a situation." Shen Lin frowned.
The great chemical reaction produced by the cooperation between humans and ghosts can be seen from Ye Zhen.
Known as Asia's No. 1 ghost controller, the absolute trump card of this middle-schooler is the core of his ghost controller system, the scapegoat.
This ghost can hand over all the harm Ye Zhen suffered, including the recovery from the evil ghost, to others. This is the concept of substitution.
The scapegoat is definitely a bug-level existence, so you can think about it differently.
If the scapegoats are not controlled by ghost masters, they themselves can be considered a rather inconspicuous minority among the evil ghosts.
Substitute death? Li Gui himself is immortal, so substitute death has no effect.
Only when the scapegoat combines with a human will a violent chemical reaction break out.
This is based on the premise that humans are the leader.
So, what about ghosts? What about ghosts?
Shen Lin thought of a famous character from the middle and later stages of the original work, Chen Qiaoyang, who was known as herding ghosts. This made Shen Lin couldn't help but connect it with the ability of the ghost staircase itself to affect the ghosts.
If the real intention of the Ghost Staircase is to possess humans, accumulate strength, and become a ghost herder by influencing powerful ghosts, it makes people shudder to think about it.
"Damn!" Xiong Wenwen couldn't help but cursed secretly. Daddy Xiong swore from the bottom of his heart that he would never get involved in any incident involving Shen Lin in the future. He encountered more weird things in just one day than he had in the previous months. Daddy Xiong They all feel like their outlook on life is about to be overturned.
"Then how do we go?" Zhou Bin didn't raise any objections, and carefully took a look at the deep darkness. The horror of the ghost still made him feel a little nervous.
Shen Lin took a look at the situation at the place, especially Xu Fang.
Xu Fang's spirit has been irreversibly traumatized by several attacks by ghosts. He is now unconscious and will not wake up for a while. In addition, the five folding boxes they brought are full of The fragments of the Ghost Staircase's body.
Although I know in my heart that this may not have any effect, I can't make a big mistake by being careful.
"Zhou Bin brought a box with Xu Fang, Xiong Wenwen brought three, and I brought one." Shen Lin said.
For this operation, the foldable gold boxes sent by the headquarters are very large, each one is more than half as tall as Xiong Wenwen.
This is not a difficult task for ghost controllers. Controlling ghosts itself makes their body functions far superior to ordinary humans, so physical strength is not a problem for them.
"Damn, why should I take three! You abuse child labor!" Xiong Wenwen protested.
"Then you deal with the ghosts that may appear along the way, and I'll get the box." Shen Lin seemed very talkative, and even stood up to get the box.
Daddy Bear was stunned, and then he jumped over.
"How can I do that? I'm just complaining about the exploitation of child labor and the ignorance of feudal society in today's world. I'll move it. I'll move it. I'm strong."
This is not called cowardice, this is called strategic retreat, Father Bear said to himself.
To be cautious, Shen Lin checked all the stairs in the building before triggering to avoid missing anything again.
Since the ghost staircase can create such a trap and kill strategy, one cannot be too cautious.
On the way back, Shen Lin chose the nearest Dongchuan Avenue. There was a weird ghost projector at the edge. That thing was too weird and should not be easily messed with.
I have never seen the remaining roads, so I have to choose anything. I might as well choose the nearest one.
The journey was smoother than a few people had imagined. When they approached the edge of the commercial street, the early sun in the east could barely show its head.
