Unexpectedly, after walking around, he did not encounter danger. Instead, he found Zhou Deng, who was almost buried in the soil, in the old forest. Moreover, Zhou Deng was not dead yet, he was still alive. It seemed that he had used some special method to save his life.
life.
But he also paid a price.
Zhou Deng, who was always busy with things, lost a white lantern.
It was obvious that he had experienced something very dangerous. Otherwise, given his character, how could he be willing to give away what he had obtained?
But Zhou Deng seemed to have lingering fears about this place, so he did not stay here longer, but urged everyone to leave quickly and return to the ancient house.
Although everyone was confused, they did not object.
After all, Zhou Deng has been hanging out for so long, so he must know more than them.
soon.
Everyone turned back to the gate of the ancient house.
At this time, Zhou Deng breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are very afraid of that old forest." Yang Jian roughly guessed it when he saw him like this.
"You also saw that there was something wrong with that old forest, right?" Zhou Deng said.
Yang Jian said; "I didn't see it. I had some intuition that told me that the place was very dangerous, so I wouldn't be stupid enough to go deep into the old forest. The curiosity in my heart would restrain me from seeking death."
Thoughts, you won’t tell me that you have entered that old forest, right?”
Others looked at Zhou Deng.
It seemed that Yang Jian's guess was correct. He had probably entered the old forest, otherwise how could the body appear there.
"That's not a normal old forest, it's a ghost forest." Zhou Deng said seriously, with a bit of fear on his face.
Ghost forest?
Everyone was shocked.
Yang Jian asked: "Why, are there any ghosts in that old forest?"
Zhou Deng shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Not only are there evil ghosts, there are simply too many. I'm out of my mind so I went into the woods with a lantern. I was just looking for death. But as soon as I entered, I found that the old forest was far better than what I saw from the outside.
When I arrived, it was much bigger, as if it was boundless, and I was lost in it for a long time."
"The woods are indeed not big. The supernatural power affects your senses and makes you unable to get out. This is a normal phenomenon in supernatural events." Yang Jian said.
"I know that the entire forest may be a ghost land, but after I entered it and wanted to go back, it was too late," Zhou Deng said.
"Are you being chased by ghosts?" Fan Xing asked.
Zhou Deng nodded: "That's pretty much it. There are so many of them that it makes people's scalp numb. Of course, I'm not sure if they are all ghosts or just supernatural products. You also know that there are some powerful ghosts.
There is only one, but it can form many supernatural things, just like the starving ghost incident you experienced, Captain Yang."
"A ghost can form a desperate number of supernatural beings."
"So how did you survive?" Yang Jian said.
Zhou Deng said: "In line with the idea of joining if you can't beat me, I put on a human skin mask and became a ghost and wandered around in it. Sure enough, the ghost did not attack me."
"..." Yang Jian looked at him as if you were teasing me.
"But this is nothing compared to my personal dangerous experience. After I put on the human skin mask, I thought I would be safe, but I was recognized and killed by a ghost... I'm not sure now
Is it a ghost, or is it a ghost master living here?" Zhou Deng said.
Although there are only a few sentences, his previous horrific experiences have been outlined.
He entered the old forest with a white lantern and discovered that there were countless ghosts in the old forest. Then in order to protect himself, he had to put on the human skin mask and change his identity, transforming himself directly from a living person to a ghost controller.
Become a real evil spirit.
With the help of his identity as a ghost, Zhou Deng successfully blended in among other ghosts.
He was not attacked and was safe for the time being.
In the end, Zhou Deng was recognized.
This process is probably quite exciting and exciting.
"What does the ghost who recognized you look like? Or what kind of image is it?" Yang Jian asked.
"You should all be familiar with the image. The woman who got in the car with you, the one wearing a red cheongsam." Zhou Deng said.
"Liu Qingqing?" Eagle's eyes narrowed.
Zhou Deng said: "No, it's not this Liu Qingqing, but the image is similar, but I'm sure it's not her. I've been to the old forest at the back before, and there is a yellow mud road that extends to an open space in the middle of the old forest.
There are five tombs in the open space, the second of which is a woman’s tomb.”
"That ghost looks exactly like the woman on the tombstone in front of the grave."
"Didn't the second tomb collapse? There is nothing on the tombstone. It is completely blank. There is no portrait at all." Eagle said immediately.
Zhou Deng said: "It's absolutely impossible. When I went there, the five tombs were all in good condition. The second tomb didn't collapse at all, and the tombstones were all standing there. I saw it with my own eyes."
"Then it's just like what we speculated before. The second tomb collapsed after you left, and the ghosts inside escaped." Fan Xing said.
"That's right..." Zhou Deng pondered.
He didn't know what happened after leaving that place.
"What did you do to the second tomb before you left there? Did you just put an incense stick on the tomb?" Yang Jian asked.
Zhou Deng said: "Yes."
Yang Jian said: "Why did you behave like this at that time? Did you want to do this, or was it influenced by something supernatural?"
"I don't know, I just felt that I should burn a stick of incense before leaving. I had no other ideas, and I only had one stick of incense in my hand. I didn't want to give it to that grave. The second grave was for a beautiful girl, so I might as well give it to her.
." Zhou Deng said.
He didn't seem to be disturbed by any supernatural beings, he just acted casually.
This is a coincidence.
"So you met the ghost later. The female ghost appeared in the old forest and saw through your identity as a ghost?" Yang Jian said.
Zhou Deng said, "That's it. I was chased by the evil ghost and escaped all the way. The ghost took away the lantern in my hand. In the end, I had no choice but to stick the piece of yellow paper to my own body in the same way as the evil ghost on the bus.
Maybe some miracle will happen on the face, and the result will be the same as what you see later."
"I passed out, and I roughly understood the function of that piece of yellow paper."
"Tell me, what's the use of that yellow paper?" Yang Jian said.
Zhou Deng said: "Pretend to be dead."
"Huh? That's it, gone?" Yang Jian said.
Zhou Deng said: "It's really amazing, okay? You've seen this kind of pretending to be dead. Not only will there be no risk of the ghost reviving, but it can also maintain the life of the ghost controller and maintain a sleeping state. As long as someone tears it apart,
If you open the yellow paper on your face, the ghost master will wake up."
"In addition, the ghost master who pretends to be dead will not be attacked by other ghosts and is in an absolutely safe state."
"It sounds really good." Yang Jian said; "The only drawback is that you need someone to help you tear off the paper, and you can't do it yourself."
"This is what it looks like right now."
Fan Xing said: "So you have been here for the past two days? You have been lying in that old forest until now."
"Yes." Zhou Deng said.
"What about the evil ghost who recognized you?"
The Eagle then asked: "I think that ghost is very special, because all the ghosts in the ancient house invaded from other places, only that ghost came out of a special old grave, and the cemetery and the ancient house
The cemeteries prepared by the old man are basically together."
"I have reason to suspect that the female ghost is not a real ghost, but was formed by the resurrection of a powerful ghost after death. She probably knew the old man in the old house during her lifetime and knew many secrets here."
"And the location where Zhou Deng appeared is also very suspicious. Why did you appear on the roadside instead of deep in the old forest? If you appeared elsewhere, it would be impossible to be found. God knows how long you will be buried.
It's impossible for someone to tear off that piece of yellow paper for you." At this moment, Li Yang suddenly thought of something.
He didn't think it was a coincidence.
The most unbelievable thing among supernatural events is coincidence. It may seem like a coincidence, but in fact it's just that you don't know the truth. When you know the truth, you will understand that the coincidence is just an inevitable result.
Yang Jian glanced at Li Yang: "Do you think someone deliberately left Zhou Deng on the roadside for us to find and rescue him?"
"This conjecture is not an exaggeration. It is very likely. Otherwise, how could Zhou Deng, such a big old Lin, have such good luck and die on the side of the road." Daqiang also nodded.
"I also think this is too much of a coincidence. Could it be that the female ghost fell in love with me and saved me on purpose?" Zhou Deng lowered his head and thought.
Yang Jian said: "Ghosts can only kill people. I have never seen a ghost that can save people, unless..."
"Unless it's not a ghost." Li Yang said with a stern expression.
"Can the ghost still be found?" Yang Jian stared at Zhou Deng and asked.
If the identity can be found and confirmed, it may be very helpful for the next thing, and even many secrets about the Republic of China period can be unlocked from the woman who is suspected to be a ghost.
"Where can I find this? If you want to look for it, you can go into the old forest with a lantern like I did before. If you are lucky, you may encounter it, but if you are not lucky, you will definitely die in the same situation as me in the end. But this
If I want to go to you once, I won’t go.”
Zhou Deng quickly shook his head and said he would never enter that old forest again.
"After the funeral is the day of condolence, maybe the ghost will appear on the day of mourning," said the Eagle.
Yang Jian's expression changed, and he turned to look at the old forest not far away, as if he wanted to search for that strange figure, but he had walked around the ancient house several times before and didn't see it.
Naturally, I found nothing at first glance.
"We can only see the situation in the next few days."
He withdrew his gaze and did not force this result, because there were more important things to do at the moment.
Although Zhou Deng almost killed everyone when he made trouble before, everyone knows at this juncture that the addition of a ghost controller will greatly improve everyone's chance of survival. This is not the time for accusations and internal strife.
We have to find a way to unite together and try to survive these seven days.
If you have anything to do, wait seven days before talking about it.
"In addition, Zhou Deng, you will follow my command and if you dare to act recklessly, I will kill you without hesitation."
Yang Jian's eyes turned cold again at this moment, and he stared at him and said, "I don't want another accident to happen in the next few days."
"You are the captain, so naturally I listen to you. I am just nominating the captain. According to the rules of the headquarters, you have the right to let us cooperate with you in supernatural incidents." Zhou Deng raised his hand and said hurriedly.
Yang Jian said: "Don't make trouble with the headquarters. If I kill you here, the headquarters won't know about it."
"I understand, I understand." Zhou Deng smiled.
Others also looked at Zhou Deng with strange expressions. Although they were very dissatisfied with this guy, they still didn't say anything more.
Too many people died yesterday.
Now there is an urgent need to replenish the number of people in the team, otherwise there will be no one to stand up if there is danger.
Zhou Deng made mistakes, but he was definitely a good helper at critical moments.
Whether he can be used depends on whether Yang Jian can suppress this guy, otherwise he will become a disaster star and harm others and himself.
"Continue to report the funeral, and then we will discuss how to survive the fourth day of condolences." Yang Jian said again.
Everyone understands that today is probably the last safe time. After midnight, the fourth day will come, and the place will be full of dangers. Therefore, they must try their best to think of ways to survive the fourth day.
Unexpected.
He couldn't even survive the ghost feast on the fifth day, and there was no use for those three bowls of white rice.
"If you can get mourning clothes, you can give it a try, but it's a pity that the old house doesn't have them."
Fan Xing shook his head: "Then we just sit next to the coffin. Maybe the coffin can protect us from being killed by ghosts. After all, family members must accompany the coffin during condolences."
"Mourning clothes, are you talking about the kind of white clothes?"
Suddenly, Zhou Deng said: "Yes, I have seen it."
"Have you seen it?" Others stared at him with wide eyes: "Where did you see it?"
He never expected that Zhou Deng would actually see mourning clothes.
Zhou Deng pointed to the old forest and said: "There is a dead body buried under every tree. Some of the dead bodies are wearing white clothes. I don't know if they are mourning clothes. I only knew that the body might be dangerous, so
I quickly filled it back with soil."
"Have you ever dug up a tree?" Fan Xing's voice suddenly became louder.
"Try it, you won't suffer any loss anyway."
Zhou Dengdao: "But not every tree will have corpses in white clothes walking under it. There are also corpses in black clothes, and they are the majority, because I was chased by evil ghosts before, and those ghosts that appeared in the woods were wearing black clothes.
.”
"Digging up trees to find mourning clothes?" Yang Jian frowned.
It sounds like you are seeking death.
"Time is running out now. There are only six hours left until 12 o'clock in the morning. If you want to do something, you have to hurry up, otherwise there won't be enough time." Eagle looked at the time and it was now 6 o'clock in the evening.
There are still six hours until twelve o'clock.
Yang Jian looked at the lantern in his hand, and then at the woods: "Whether it works or not, give it a try first, I can't think of a better way anyway."
"Hopefully, as we inferred, the mourning clothes can protect us from being killed on the fourth day,"
"Don't go deep into the woods, dig close to the nearest tree, so as not to get lost in the old forest."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he immediately took action.
