The ghost in front of me is indeed very dangerous.
Especially because the ghost looked like an old man, Li Leping had no choice but to treat it with the most caution.
Such "aged" ghosts are most likely formed after the death of the older generation of ghost masters.
Although Li Leping expressed doubts about the overall strength level of the island nation's ghost masters, this did not prevent him from fearing the top ghost masters.
In the supernatural world, a chicken head is always better than a phoenix tail.
Suddenly.
Just when Li Leping had decided to take the initiative and give this ghost a stick first.
"Well--!"
A sudden whistle sounded from afar, echoing in the station surrounded by taiko drums.
"Clang, clang."
What echoed next was the sound of a train running on the track.
Even though Li Leping had no time to look back now, he could still tell where the reverberating sound came from.
The ghost train is coming.
But for Li Leping at this moment, he had no intention of looking back at the ghost train approaching from afar.
Because he still has a big problem waiting to be dealt with.
Just when Li Leping was about to repel the one-legged ghost in front of him first.
Suddenly.
The ghost in front of him was only half a meter away from Li Leping. It could be said that the two sides were almost touching each other face to face.
The ghost suddenly stopped beating.
Immediately afterwards.
It suddenly changed its direction, as if it was eyeing some unlucky person who suddenly triggered its murderous pattern.
Although the remaining 40 or so people in the station have almost been killed by the ghosts, there are still some people who luckily did not trigger the ghost's killing pattern and have persisted in the darkness until now.
But now it seems that these living people who have persisted until now cannot escape the pursuit of this one-legged ghost.
They seemed to have inadvertently triggered this ghost's murderous pattern.
But it was their triggering that made the ghost change its direction of travel.
The ghost that changed direction slowly jumped towards that side and did not jump towards Li Leping again.
The approaching ghost just left, and its figure gradually disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.
Gu Li, who was covered in cold sweat and with the horror still on his face, looked at the direction where the ghost disappeared, and then looked at Li Leping.
"A false alarm?"
He didn't dare to speak, so he was forced to express his meaning with his eyes.
It was obvious that not only him, but also Jiang Hao had not yet recovered from the pressure brought by the evil spirit, and was still extremely cautious at this moment.
No one can guarantee whether the ghost will jump back as soon as he makes a sound.
After all, so far, the killing pattern of this ghost is still unknown.
"Ah~!"
However, not long after, a shrill scream echoed.
It seems that the ghost has succeeded.
"The voice shouldn't be the key."
Thick smoke covered it again, and Li Leping spoke boldly at this time.
This is not a test, nor is it a suicide attempt, but a conclusion based on analysis.
They had been communicating for so long just now. If the one-legged ghost really killed people for talking, then they should have been attacked long ago.
Once a ghost has its sights on someone, it is impossible to skip this target without any reason.
In other words, they were not actually targeted, they just happened to be on the ghost's wandering route, and then inadvertently made contact.
But such contact is equally dangerous.
After all, if you were really touched by this ghost, you might die.
Fortunately, someone helped them share the firepower and attracted Li Gui's attention in time, thus changing Li Gui's path forward.
"Good people don't get rewarded."
Gu Li did not close his mouth anymore, but looked at the direction where Li Gui disappeared, and his tone was slightly emotional.
From the screams just now, it is not difficult to know that the guy who attracted the attention of the evil ghost has been killed.
He died quickly and miserably.
In the past, Gu Li might have bowed in that direction with sadness and gratitude.
But now, he absolutely dare not move.
Maybe after bowing, the ghost would jump back to respond to him.
In fact, he didn't even dare to turn around and look at the honking ghost train now.
The three of them just turned their backs to the direction of the ghost train's sound, keeping their sideways posture. No one moved, just like three wooden figures.
"Is it necessary?"
Gu Li was on the left, Jiang Hao was on the right, and Li Leping, who was caught in the middle, couldn't even turn around.
"Have you analyzed the pattern of that ghost?" Gu Li asked with a tense face.
He also wanted to move freely, but the supernatural power displayed by the one-legged ghost just now was too terrifying, and it made them feel terrified even before they launched the attack.
If possible, of course no one would want to go head-to-head with such a dangerous ghost.
Li Leping might be able to fight with it, but as for Gu Li and Jiang Hao, they are not Li Leping, and they might be killed by the ghost instantly.
"The original intention of some evil ghosts to kill is not necessarily to kill, but to find a suitable puzzle piece."
Li Leping combined some experiences in his memory and came to a conclusion: "Look for the human head balloon for the head, look for the headless ghost for the ghost head, and look for the ghost head for the body. So in fact, the killing patterns of some evil ghosts can actually be passed through."
Their physical characteristics are analyzed.”
"Like the old man without legs just now?" Gu Li said following his words.
"If you have a missing leg, you will naturally want to get it back, so the leg should be the key to the killing pattern." Li Leping nodded.
"But all of us here have sound limbs, right? Is it possible that this ghost is jealous of those with two legs?"
Jiang Hao frowned and recalled the passengers in the carriage.
The "we" he said were of course not just the three people here, but also the passengers on the tram.
After all, living people are the targets of ghosts.
"But if that's the case, then we should be the first to be attacked."
But within a few seconds, he immediately denied his previous suspicion.
Because the premise of this conjecture itself is wrong.
If ghosts would attack people with sound legs, how could the three of them who had been exposed to the ghosts escape?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Could it be because the ghost realm has not completely collapsed, so the ghosts did not actually see us, so they did not target us?"
Gu Li followed Jiang Hao's train of thought and speculated.
Although the ghost smoke just now showed signs of collapse, because the ghost did not actually jump in front of them, the smoke could not be completely dissipated.
Maybe it's because of the strong and pervasive thick smoke that conceals their existence?
"It's unlikely. This ghost has the ability to invade the ghost realm with force. It's unlikely that a ghost with such a high degree of terror can't find us. It's just that we didn't trigger the killing pattern, so the ghost didn't attack us.
."
Jiang Hao carefully recalled what he had just encountered and analyzed it further.
"To put it another way, if two legs are not the key to the problem, then what about one leg?" Li Leping reminded.
"A leg?"
Jiang Hao and Gu Li's eyes narrowed after hearing this.
"But are any of those passengers missing a leg?"
Gu Li's brows knitted together and he fell into deep thought.
"No." Jiang Hao, who had already recalled a round, replied immediately.
The passengers were old and young, male and female, but there were no disabled people.
"One leg is missing..."
However, Gu Li did not give up because of this. Instead, he thought of something.
Suddenly, his frown relaxed, and he punched the palm of his hand with some excitement: "I understand."
"Understood?" Jiang Hao didn't understand.
"It's not a question of whether there are missing legs, but the state of whether there is a missing leg."
Gu Li's words made Jiang Hao even more confused and confused.
However, after enlightenment, Gu Li seemed a little excited and immediately explained to Jiang Hao: "The target of ghosts does not necessarily have to be a person who is missing one leg. If a person is on one leg, he will also be targeted by ghosts.
Just like when a person is walking, especially running, one leg must land first, then the other, and this process is the one-legged state."
"I see."
After such an explanation, Jiang Hao also understood and looked like he was suddenly enlightened.
Then, he looked at Li Leping, who had always been expressionless.
"So Captain Li, you have already analyzed this point."
Seeing that Li Leping did not refute Gu Li's guess, Jiang Hao knew that this meant that Li Leping had approved it, or that the two of them had thought of the same point.
"Absolutely. After all, based on the current reactions of survivors, this guess is also the most likely. Of course, guesses are just guesses after all. Before the rules are truly determined, the so-called guesses cannot guarantee that you and I will 100% avoid the attacks of the evil spirits.
It just provides us with a direction for thinking.”
"At least until there is no new information, when the three of us are walking, it is best to rub the soles of our feet against the ground. Although it will reduce efficiency, it is better than being stared at by ghosts."
Li Leping still has the same attitude. Although he has some inferences, he rarely talks too much to prevent himself from falling into the misunderstanding of inertial thinking.
"Looking at it this way, I'm pretty smart." Gu Li said a little proudly.
"You are indeed not stupid, so can you turn around now? The sound of the train has become more and more obvious, and it is about to pull into the station."
Li Leping, who was sandwiched between two people like a sandwich pancake, spoke indifferently.
"Oh oh oh."
Gu Li quickly agreed and then turned around.
But it was this turning movement that further confirmed his previous guess.
For people like me who deal with supernatural events, when faced with ghosts, unless they are determined to fight head-on, they will usually try to reduce the range of their movements as much as possible.
This is a kind of muscle memory cultivated by professional habits, because in many cases, if you do a little less movement, you may be able to avoid many unnecessary disasters.
Just like how he turned around at this moment.
When someone turns around, they will lift their feet carelessly, turn around, and finally land on the ground.
But people in charge like them will try to minimize unnecessary movements, just rub the soles of their shoes on the ground, and then turn around quickly.
Even the angle of rotation will not be 180 degrees, but will only rotate to a position of about 90 degrees, showing a sideways posture.
This kind of turning posture also allows you to quickly turn around after confirming that there is no problem behind you.
