Zhou Deng's decision was unexpected. He was actually willing to take on this almost certain death task and lure this evil spirit away.
Yang Jian was very surprised, and even Yang Xiaohua and Li Yang next to him had expressions of disbelief.
They all felt that it was unlikely that Zhou Deng would take on this task based on his character and previous performance, and that this letter delivery task had nothing to do with him. If he was willing, there would be no problem in just turning around and leaving.
But he did it anyway.
"Why?" Yang Jian frowned.
Zhou Deng, on the other hand, was surprised and said: "What's the reason? I'm the most suitable here, right? The messenger named Liu Qingqing can't hold on for too long. Don't say she's unwilling now, even if she is willing, she can't go very far.
In fact, the only people who are really suitable to serve as bait are you, Captain Yang, and me."
"In the alternative situation, it is more valuable for me to die here, right? After all, the headquarters will not allow a captain-level figure to be used as a bait to save a group of ordinary ghost masters. This is not a matter of willingness.
question, but a question of whether it’s worth it.”
"Even if I let you serve as bait, the remaining few of us have successfully survived today, but what about tomorrow? Without you, the chance of the remaining people getting out of this hellish place is slim."
"Both emotions and reasons are the most suitable for me."
Yang Jian said: "You have no objection at all?"
"My opinion is not important. What is important is whether the remaining people can survive. I have experienced necessary sacrifices in the team... This cruel world is like this. I can't understand this.
If you don't deserve to live, Captain Yang, aren't you willing to throw the dice with me to decide who will die?" Zhou Deng said and was silent for a moment, looking a little sad.
He seems to have experienced something similar.
When faced with supernatural events, someone has to sacrifice.
Only that time, Zhou Deng was not the one who was sacrificed, he survived.
"The moment you took out the dice, I actually knew that we are the same kind of people. We will not hesitate when it comes time to die. It just depends on whether we need to die at that time." Zhou Deng said with a smile.
"Dachang City Starving Ghost Incident, I read the files, Captain Yang, you are outstanding. In fact, if I die to save a person like you, I feel like my death is worthy. Anyway, ghost controllers will die sooner or later, so I can die."
It’s so valuable, so what’s the point of complaining?”
After Zhou Deng finished speaking, he tore off the human skin mask on his face and handed it to Yang Jian: "I don't need this thing anymore, you can keep it."
"No, a supernatural item is of little use to me. Since you have decided to use it as bait, then you can continue to wear it on your face. If you cooperate with the yellow paper, you may have a second chance to sleep." Yang Jian looked at it.
That old forest.
It's just that if you sleep in this old forest, you may never have a chance to wake up again.
But it's at least a hope.
When I have the ability, I might be able to cut down the entire old forest, find the sleeping Zhou Deng, and rescue him.
Of course, this is just a conjecture.
Whether there will be this opportunity depends on the follow-up.
"Understood." Zhou Deng said nothing, put on the human skin mask and set off.
He walked very fast, not wanting to waste time, and he didn't even have time to say some emotional words.
As for the last words.
Zhou Deng had already written it before getting on the supernatural bus, so there was no need to discuss these trivial matters at this time.
"Liu Qingqing, leave, I will lure this ghost into this old forest." He shouted in a low voice at this moment.
The bright red cheongsam that Liu Qingqing was wearing at this moment seemed to have oxidized. It was completely colorless and turned gray. At the same time, her black hair had also become dim and her legs were blurring, but most of her body was not that of a living person.
The body is a puppet with no face and no arms.
Ghosts cannot easily erase this puppet, nor can they easily erase the cheongsam on their body.
But under the influence of the supernatural, Liu Qingqing herself was disappearing.
Her face is blurring, and her facial features have gradually become unclear. Once she disappears, she is completely dead, and it will be useless to still have a body. It is just a body constructed by supernatural beings and has nothing to do with her.
Next to the old man in front of him, the figure of another old man became clearer and clearer.
Liu Qingqing was right, she could resist for a while, but not for long.
Upon hearing Zhou Deng's words, Liu Qingqing hurriedly backed away without saying a word, away from the influence of this evil spirit.
But the lifeless old man did not let Liu Qingqing go. As soon as she stepped back, the old man followed closely.
However, Zhou Deng passed directly over Liu Qingqing and stood in front of her.
The ghost's footsteps stopped.
The target of the attack immediately shifted. The supernatural power that wiped out Liu Qingqing was dissipating, but on the contrary, Zhou Deng was being affected.
Zhou Deng didn't dare to hesitate, he immediately walked out of the yellow mud path and headed towards the old forest next to him.
The ghost followed, also leaving the yellow mud path and heading in the direction Zhou Deng left.
"Successful, the rest will be left to you, Captain Yang." Zhou Deng looked back and said this, and then his body was quickly engulfed by the dark haze in the old forest and disappeared without a trace.
trace.
There is something strange about this old forest, and it is easy for people to get lost. Even the ghost master cannot find a way out after entering.
But it wasn't just Zhou Deng who disappeared, the ghost who followed Zhou Deng also entered the old forest.
One person and one ghost disappeared together.
There is no longer anything blocking everyone's progress on the yellow mud path.
The rest of the people saw this and fell silent.
The ghost couldn't deal with it, so he had to use the worst method to lure the ghost away by sacrificing a person.
"Let's go immediately, don't waste time." Yang Jian took a deep breath and immediately adjusted his state. He directly lifted the red coffin on the ground by himself.
The ghost is held under the coffin to prevent it from tilting and falling.
There was no time to lament Zhou Deng’s disappearance.
He set off immediately.
Because Yang Jian knew in his heart that even if Zhou Deng alone lured the ghost away, it would only be temporary. The ghost might return here after dealing with Zhou Deng.
This old woman is very strange.
Its actions are different from ordinary ghosts. It is not wandering aimlessly, but it has some kind of special consciousness that controls its activities.
Perhaps it is as inferred before.
People are controlling ghosts, and ghosts are controlling people.
This evil ghost may already have some characteristics of a living person.
Liu Qingqing also glanced at Lao Lin, who had disappeared with Zhou Deng. She didn't say anything, she just carried the eagle's body on her back again and quickened her pace.
Freed from supernatural erosion.
Her body was gradually recovering, her faded red cheongsam became bright again, and everything was getting better again.
"The supernatural influence of this old man is not thorough enough. If it were the old man in Room 301, his body would not be able to recover at all after being affected. It is an irreversible behavior. It seems that this ghost does not exist now, and the level of terror has also been reduced.
"Yang Jian saw it in his eyes and thought in his heart.
He has experienced two erasures, and he understands it somewhat.
Yang Xiaohua was panting now and carrying Li Yang all the way. She was very tired after walking such a long way.
Although she has good physical strength, she has been exercising since she became a messenger.
But ordinary people's bodies have limits.
Her physical strength was reaching its limit and she could hardly walk.
However, Yang Xiaohua gritted her teeth and persisted. This kind of physical fatigue was nothing, because she knew that she was still alive and could still feel tired, which was much luckier than others.
"Put me down. Although I have difficulty moving, I can lie down on the coffin." Li Yang saw her sweating profusely and said directly.
"No, no, I can still insist." Yang Xiaohua rejected the proposal.
Li Yang said no more.
The group of people is getting smaller and smaller.
One Zhou Deng was lost just now, and now only four of Yang Jian's group are left.
There is also the carcass of an eagle.
"Almost there."
After driving for a while, the surrounding darkness and gloom gradually receded, and the end of the yellow mud path was seen.
It was a huge circular open space.
The open space is in the middle of the old forest and has been cleared out deliberately. There are several old graves on the open space, no more, no less, exactly five.
But the second old tomb collapsed, leaving only ruins.
Because he had been here once before, Yang Jian recognized him at a glance.
The red coffin has no more abnormalities during this period.
This may be considered good news.
Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but quicken his pace, trying to bury the red coffin first to avoid a long night of dreams.
However, just when he was about to finish walking the yellow mud path and enter this open space.
The end of the road was unknown, and a strange figure gradually came out of the old forest next to it.
That was... an old woman with a wrinkled face and a lifeless face, carrying a vegetable basket.
It walked out of the old forest. It seemed that there was no way for the old woman to get lost in this strange old forest. It could easily set foot in and leave easily.
The evil ghost who wandered around in the old forest appeared again on the yellow mud path.
The lifeless old man stood there motionless as before, blocking the way for the remaining people to step into the open space where the old man was buried.
"how so?"
Liu Qingqing trembled when she saw this, and her eyes suddenly opened wide, with a hint of despair on her shocked expression.
How long has this been?
Do you have ten minutes?
The ghost that Zhou Deng had finally sacrificed and lured away unexpectedly returned at this time and blocked their way again.
Is it possible that another person has to be sacrificed this time to lure the ghost away?
Yang Jian held the cracked spear tightly with his hand, his face was particularly ugly. He peered with ghostly eyes, and then discovered something, and turned around suddenly to look behind him.
In the old forest behind them, a lifeless and identical old woman appeared, and a second ghost came out, blocking everyone's retreat.
"The second ghost appeared and Zhou Deng died." Li Yang also turned around and saw this scene. His voice trembled and he told a terrible fact.
Because only when Zhou Deng is erased will the second old man appear.
If the third person is erased, then the third old man will appear... and so on.
Therefore, this is a true S-level supernatural event with almost no solution.
"Why, why is this happening? Logically speaking, this letter delivery task cannot be this difficult." Liu Qingqing was already a little skeptical of reality.
She has participated in delivering letters several times. Even if the supernatural incident in Room 301 last time was so horrific, there is still a possibility of success.
And this time.
It has been extremely difficult since the first day of burial. Now on the sixth day, the appearance of such an old man has simply made all the messengers despair.
And so is reality.
The messengers died one after another, and the messenger on the fourth floor was helpless in this mission of delivering the message.
This is still under the leadership of Yang Jian and will develop with the best results.
If it weren't for Yang Jian, I'm afraid everyone would have died on the first day.
"There must be something wrong with the post office. This letter delivery mission is a fatal mission. The post office wants to wipe out all the messengers on the fourth floor. This has a lot to do with the fact that the fourth floor of the post office was invaded by ghosts." Liu Qingqing was a little crazy.
, she said through gritted teeth.
"No, it's not the post office that has a problem, it's our mail delivery members that have a problem." Yang Jian said with a gloomy expression.
He suspected that the appearance of women from the Republic of China period made the task of delivering messages more difficult.
Why did this old man get off the car and disappear for so long, only to appear now?
Because Liu Qingqing appeared.
She is alive and participating in this message delivery mission.
But there is no point in discussing this now.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Li Yang looked over: "We have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. We can only buy time by luring the ghost away like a coffin. I can use the eagle's body to splice the legs together, resume action, and lead
Get rid of a bad guy."
At this time, he also began to choose sacrifice.
"But this plan requires Liu Qingqing's cooperation. She must also lure away a ghost so that you, captain, can survive. Then you can complete the task of delivering the letter alone and go to the fifth floor of the post office."
Liu Qingqing immediately said: "Why did he survive and not me?"
"Shut up."
Li Yang shouted: "Who do you think you are? A third-rate character. It doesn't matter whether you are alive or dead. The captain cannot be buried here. He alone can affect the balance of the overall situation outside. What's the use of you? Living is just a matter of living in the world.
There is only one more population in this world, will you be the person in charge? Will you handle supernatural events?"
"You can't even handle the ghost post office. You are just a dispensable ghost controller."
"What are you talking about? His life is life, but my life, Liu Qingqing's, is not my life? Since you think I am dispensable, then we all just stay here and die together. Anyway, I don't owe anyone anything.
There is no need to risk your own life to help him." Liu Qingqing was also very angry.
Li Yang stared at her with murderous intent: "The captain is right, you are an unstable factor and should be killed early. I am not forward-looking enough, otherwise I should do it myself."
"There's no need to argue. Now there is another way to release the curse of the music box. With the ghost dice, you may be able to hold back a fierce ghost." Yang Jian said at this moment.
"Is it possible to use red balloons? No, this method won't work. Yang Xiaohua will be wiped out as soon as she appears. She will eliminate ghosts and add another ghost. By then, even if the red balloon sends away a ghost, it will only be a ghost.
There is an increase and a decrease, but there is no change in quantity." Li Yang was also thinking quickly.
His forehead was covered with sweat.
Because there is really not much time left for them.
The ghosts, one behind the other, are walking along this yellow mud path.
The distance is getting closer.
Yang Xiaohua was also cold all over, her palms turned white, and she clenched the red balloon in her hand, but she also understood that today was probably the end.
If Liu Qingqing does not agree to be the bait, Li Yang's plan will not be implemented.
And all the methods to fight against the evil ghosts are useless...
"It would be great if there was a white ghost candle now, there is still a chance." Li Yang said again.
Yang Jian didn't speak, he just put down the red coffin: "So what if I brought the white ghost candle? There are so many ghosts who dare not use it. If I light the ghost candle in this old forest, what will I face then?"
It’s not just these two old men, but a group of evil spirits who are attacking us.”
"That's right." Li Yang said, "Is there really no other way?"
Yang Jian didn't answer, he was also thinking.
However, the ghosts would not give them time to think.
Although the ghost didn't move quickly, it kept getting closer.
Liu Qingqing, who was close, was fading again. In addition, Yang Xiaohua, an ordinary person, was also affected first. Her body was blurring and disappearing... She was being erased.
