Chapter 9 Lamp Oil and Dangerous Things

Yao Feng saw it clearly. Three black figures ran away wildly, and disappeared into the gray fog in the blink of an eye.

The flames on the street were still burning, but they were much weaker than before. The hunchbacked man was lying on the ground in a twist and motionless manner, probably burning to death.

Yao Feng swallowed and spitted.

He looked at the bronze oil lamp in his hand. This thing was the second time that he had saved himself. In the joy of surviving the disaster, Yao Feng felt confident. The bronze oil lamp was obviously the nemesis of these dirty things, and the same was true in the train toilet. Without this thing, Yao Feng had long been strangled to death by a hair ghost.

However, Yao Feng still knew nothing about the origin of this bronze oil lamp. He speculated that this thing was taken out of Wangchuan Tower in his dream.

"Can things in nightmare be taken into reality?" Yao Feng had such an incredible thought.

At this time, Yao Feng carefully checked the bronze oil lamp. The texture is simple and not exquisite. The small animals on it are embossed with a cute feeling. There is a layer of dark brown crystals in the lamp plate, which is like the solidification of lamp oil. However, when Yao Feng saw this, he accidentally discovered that the solidified lamp oil in the lamp plate had decreased.

When on the train, Yao Feng observed this bronze oil lamp. He remembered that there was still a lot of solidified lamp oil at that time, at least as big as a coin, but now, only half of the size is left.

In an instant, an idea popped up in Yao Feng's mind.

Lamp oil is being consumed.

Because it ignited the hunchbacked man?

If so, wouldn’t this mean that this thing has a service life? Once the lamp oil is used up, the bronze oil lamp will become worthless?

This discovery made Yao Feng feel a sensation of pain, and then he felt a sense of crisis. He just burned the hunchback and consumed nearly half of the lamp oil. If he encountered a similar situation, wouldn’t he be able to use it once?

Suddenly, the little confidence that had just been established disappeared without a trace.

But in the end, the bronze oil lamp can be used again. Even if it encounters dirty things, Yao Feng will not be able to fight back.

After carefully putting away the bronze oil lamp, Yao Feng began to analyze the current situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the three years of nightmare experience and today's experience have completely subverted Yao Feng's understanding of the world. Youdao is the best teacher in reality. It teaches us how to face life and how to survive in this realistic rule.

My father was right. Uncle Zhang died two years ago. After careful recollection, Yao Feng finally remembered that his father did say this on the phone two years ago.

Then, Uncle Zhang, who called himself and tricked himself into Furukawa City, was a ghost.

Look.

Once you figure out some things, you won’t be so scared. In the past, I thought some things were horrible because I subconsciously thought that these things did not exist, so I would certainly be afraid of suddenly appearing, but if these things are regarded as a normal state, the situation would be much better.

Especially when Yao Feng went to the toilet, he had burned two ghosts to death. This psychological advantage was not available to others. Moreover, these experiences made Yao Feng more easily accept this supernatural and strange phenomenon.

Yao Feng is sure that this place is not Furukawa City, so Yao Feng is not interested in knowing where it is.

He is leaving here.

However, the premise is to find Sun Peipei.

This girl was frightened and ran away in panic. She didn't know where she had gone now. It was not a good thing to go away alone in this strange and terrifying place.

Yao Feng also had a bronze oil lamp to defend himself, but Sun Peipei had nothing. He sighed. If it was not a relative or a friend, Yao Feng would never risk looking for her.

After looking at the phone, there was still no signal. Yao Feng was not surprised. This place was very strange, and evil ghosts appeared, so it was strange that there was a signal.

The bronze oil lamp can no longer be used randomly. Yao Feng looked around and planned to find some handy things to defend himself.

Yao Feng ran in in a panic just now and did not notice anything special about this room. He came back to his senses and looked at it again, and immediately discovered the problem.

The room was empty and the walls were white, but maybe the hunchbacked man screamed outside just now was too terrifying, and a palm-sized gap was cracked on one wall over there.

Or, this crack has always been there.

Such a crack appeared on the white wall, which looked extremely abrupt, and what was even more strange was that an indescribable sound came from the crack.

Yao Feng glanced at it, and without saying a word, he jumped out of the window and left the room.

He did not choose to walk through the door, because if he walked through the door, he would have to pass through that crack.

Not long after Yao Feng jumped out, five bloody fingers suddenly stretched out from the crack in the wall of the house, and at the same time made a crackling sound, as if something was about to emerge from the crack.

Yao Feng didn't know this. He just simply sought profit and avoided harm. He walked over there even though he knew there was something strange in the crack. That's why a fool did this.

After jumping into the street, Yao Feng looked at the hunchbacked man over there. At this moment, he was burned to a dark ball, but the flames were still not extinguished. The fire in the bronze oil lamp was very strange, as if it would not be extinguished if it was not burned clean.

"It is not advisable to stay here, so I'd better go find Sun Peipei and leave this ghost place." Yao Feng didn't plan to get close to check. Who knows if the hunchbacked man died? If he had a breath, he would fall into the trap by himself.

Just after walking two steps, Yao Feng stopped again. He saw something on the ground in front of him.

It is a hunchbacked man's cane, and there is a bell tied to it.

This thing was not stained with flames and fell next to the hunchbacked man at this moment.

Yao Feng thought about it, but still didn't go up to pick it up. Who knows what the consequences would be if he picked up this thing? One of the rules listed in his nightmare notes is that you must not pick up things of unknown origin.

The more valuable something looks, the greater the hidden danger.

Yao Feng has a personal experience of this.

So he did not hesitate anymore and turned around and headed towards the direction where Sun Peipei had escaped.

Not long after Yao Feng left, a figure walked over from a distance. Seeing the fire on the ground and the hunchbacked corpses that were almost burned, the figure was so scared that it took several steps back.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m afraid of flames or hunchbacked people.

Or both.

The next moment, the figure saw the bell cane of the hunchbacked man. He immediately screamed excitedly and looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, he immediately reached out to pick it up.

But the figure just grabbed the cane and immediately screamed, trying to retract its hand, but the strange thing was that the cane seemed to be on the figure's hand, and it couldn't be shaken off no matter how hard it was. It even made a squeaking sound, like a piece of meat being pressed on a red-hot soldering iron.

A stream of black gas surged out of the cane and penetrated into the figure's mouth and nose. Accompanied by the terrifying ringtone, the figure's body began to twist.

The two arms were pulled out by something, and the sound of the flesh tearing was very harsh. The most terrifying thing was that the figure's chest was stretched open by a ball of black gas at this moment, and a black arm stretched out.

Then the figure slowly bent down, as if he was hunched.

The strange sound disappeared.

The figure turned into a new hunchbacked man. It looked at the ground that was still burning, and the body that was almost burned to death was silent for a long time, as if it was hesitation.

Finally, the new hunchbacked man made a decision and walked towards the direction Yao Feng left.

...

Sun Peipei felt that his understanding of the world had been completely changed.

She hoped that all she had just experienced was just a nightmare. After waking up from the dream, she was still in her warm apartment, and then when she was at work, she treated the things she encountered in her dream as a topic of chatting with her colleagues.

But obviously, this is not a dream.

Frightened by the distorted face of her facial features, Sun Peipei ran away with a blank mind. Even though she ran far away and was very tired, she did not stop. It seemed that this kind of running could alleviate the fear in her heart. She only realized that she didn't know where she ran, and the most troublesome thing was to get separated from Yao Feng.

"Yao Feng, he... is he okay?" Sun Peipei was determined to find it back. She also walked back for a while, but soon found that she was lost. There were several forks at a intersection, and she had no idea how to go back.

In such a strange place, you will be afraid no matter how brave you are, not to mention that Sun Peipei is not very brave.

The surrounding streets were extremely strange. Sun Peipei limped on the road. Now she was like a frightened bird, and any movement could make her extremely frightened.

Only then did she realize that she had lost a shoe.

Although it was uncomfortable to step on the ground barefoot, I couldn't care about it at this time. Sun Peipei swallowed and spitted, feeling like his throat was on fire, and he was so thirsty.

Thinking of the fact that there was still half a bottle of mineral water in his backpack, Sun Peipei immediately took it out and drank it clean, and then threw the bottle next to the road.

Now that I don’t know the way back, I can only move forward. Sun Peipei hopes that he can get out of this gray fog. In her opinion, all strange things happen in this gray fog, and it will be safe as long as I leave here.

"Call the police and come back to save Yao Feng."

That's what she plans.

But in the next more than an hour, no matter how Sun Peipei walked, the road ahead was like endless, and the street scenes on both sides seemed to have no changes.

When you are tired of walking, take a break and then continue walking.

Fear is the source of infinite motivation.

At this moment, Sun Peipei saw something, and she stopped suddenly, her face instantly became extremely ugly, and she almost collapsed on the ground.

What she saw was a mineral water bottle. Sun Peipei mustered up the courage, walked over, picked it up with his trembling hands and looked carefully. It was exactly the one she had thrown away before.

Her lipstick was also printed on the mouth of the bottle.

From just now to now, she has been wandering around, no wonder she can't get out.

A chill surged from the soles of your feet. This kind of thing was not really experienced by yourself. Who would believe it if you said it?

Psychedelic array? Ghost hits a wall?

Sun Peipei has heard of some ghost stories. These bizarre and horrifying stories have similar plots, the point is that most of the protagonists in ghost stories have no good ending.

At this moment, Sun Peipei thought of death.

"No, no, I don't want to die here!"

Sun Peipei reached out and pulled his hair, his face pale. At this moment, she heard a creaking sound of the door opening in front of her.

The quiet streets sounded extremely abrupt.

Sun Peipei stared at him with wide eyes. Not far away, a red house stood alone there. The old door in front of the house was slowly opening.

At this moment, the doors of other buildings on both sides of the road slowly opened almost at the same time, and the squeaking sound kept ringing.

Sun Peipei didn't even dare to move now. She had reached her limit. Now her brain was blank. The next moment, Sun Peipei's pupils contracted, and she saw a head poking out from the open door of the red house.

A woman with no eyes, with her hair, tilted her head, and half of her face was showing a strange smile at her.
