Chapter 565: Fork in the Road
"Yes, we listen to Boss Lin and don't separate. Read М" Pi Ruan Yi said sternly, but everyone could see that he was afraid of being killed by ghosts if he was left alone.
The empty tunnel echoed with everyone's footsteps, and there was endless darkness in front and behind, so deep that it seemed to have no end.
The darkness around them was like a tide, and the group seemed to be sunk into the deep sea, with a strong sense of suffocation that made people breathless.
The weird atmosphere was fermenting.
Unlike before, Jiang Cheng paid more attention to his surroundings.
He smelled a hint of weirdness from the boring footsteps and occasional panting.
"Swish"
"Swish"
The sound was very light, mixed with the footsteps of everyone, and it was almost inaudible if you didn't listen carefully, as if someone was stepping on the water from time to time.
Jiang Cheng immediately became alert.
Although the mine was humid, everyone walked in the middle of the tunnel for safety reasons. Because the rails were placed in the middle, the terrain was higher and there was no water accumulation.
Who is it?
Who is stepping on the water?
Jiang Cheng looked around casually, his eyes sweeping over tired and even impatient faces.
He knew every face, and nothing had sneaked in.
Could it be Pi Ruan's doing?
Did the ghost pretending to be him do it?
But after observation, Pi Ruan lowered his head and hunched his back, panting from time to time, looking like he was about to die, and he didn't see anything wrong.
The most important thing is that he walked honestly along the railroad tracks, and there was no water under his feet.
No!
There must be something wrong.
If this problem is not solved, they are afraid that they will all be trapped in this tunnel.
He deliberately slowed down his pace, slowly retreated from the middle of the team to the back of the team, and soon, he stopped and made a terrible discovery.
The number of people in the team was wrong.
There were three teams in total, him, Lin Wan'er, Fatty, Huai Yi, Chen Qiang, and Pi Ruan who joined temporarily, a total of 6 people.
Zhao Xingguo, Linghu Yong, Pan Du, a team of 3 people.
Luo He and Fu Fu are two night watchmen.
There are 11 people in the three teams in total.
But now, there are 11 people standing in front of him and walking with their backs to him!
Including him, there are 12 people in the team.
One more person
As expected.
Something has sneaked in.
It is this thing that has blinded them and trapped them in this vicious circle that they can never get out of.
To be precise, this is called a ghost wall.
Jiang Cheng has encountered such a thing before, in an ancient copy.
At the end of the copy, they couldn't get out of the rain curtain. The building in front of them was close at hand, but they couldn't get out.
In the end, they abandoned An Xuan and left.
Because he was stared at by a ghost, and the ghost didn't want to let him go.
Does that mean that they are facing the same situation now, and one of them is also stared at by a ghost.
If they don't leave this person behind, then everyone will die.
But who is the person being stared at?
Jiang Cheng moved his eyes away and stared at the back of a person.
Luo He.
It should be him!
This ghost was encountered after they entered the tunnel, so it can be determined that it is related to the supernatural events in the tunnel.
And Luo He was the first person among all of them to answer the ghost's call.
The ghost's target is him.
He must be thrown off to leave this infinite cycle.
Of course, there is another way to choose to help Luo He and get rid of this ghost, but Jiang Cheng thinks it is too dangerous.
This ghost is more difficult than the one that entangled An Xuan in the ancient copy.
Jiang Cheng observed the teammates in front more than once, but what made him feel cold was that he knew that one of them was a ghost, but he just couldn't find it.
Every back gave him a familiar feeling, and he could call out the name of each one.
This is too weird.
Jiang Cheng even guessed that this ghost has the ability to distort memory within a certain range.
Under such conditions, Jiang Cheng had no psychological pressure to abandon a teammate who had threatened him.
There was no suspense, and soon they returned to the location where the stone was placed.
When she saw the stone, Pi Ruan looked like she was about to die, and trembled as she said, "We are back again."
Plan 1 failed, so we can only try plan 2.
"Let's go separately." Zhao Xingguo stared at the darkness in the distance, retracted his gaze, and said seriously, "There is no other way."
This time, there is probably no chance to meet again. No one wants to be separated from the original team, so Jiang Cheng's team can only be in one group, and the other two teams in one group.
"Little earthworm." Fu Fu narrowed her eyes and looked at Pi Ruan, "Do you want to be in a team with your sister? Your sister will protect you. If you encounter a ghost, you can help your sister."
"Bah!" Pi Ruan was not to be outdone, and retorted, "Cranky sister, be careful yourself. I heard that the ghosts here like flat chests. If they encounter a rare airport like you, they will definitely not miss it."
The original solemn scene of life and death was destroyed by the two of them.
"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God." Zhao Xingguo clasped his fists and said, "Take care."
"Take care." Jiang Cheng returned the greeting.
After talking to Luo He, Zhao Xingguo and the others turned around and walked back.
Just as their figures were about to disappear from sight, Huai Yi's eyes paused, and then he seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, pointing to the opposite side: "What is that?"
Lin Wan'er stretched out her hand and slapped Huai Yi's outstretched arm away.
Luo He, Fu Fu, and Zhao Xingguo were supposed to be five people, but there was a sixth person in the team!
At the end of the team, there was a tall figure.
The figure was hidden in the darkness, looming, carrying a large black bag, covering the upper body completely.
There seemed to be a lot of equipment hanging around his waist.
Before everyone could continue to observe, Luo He and his men disappeared into the darkness.
The tall figure also disappeared.
"Fuck!" Pi Ruan's exclamation attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned around quickly, and there was a fork in the road not far away, and what was even more strange was that there was light coming out of it.
"It seems that the guy who is entangled with us is that guy." Chen Qiang said. He had also experienced the ancient book and had a certain understanding of the ghost wall. He figured everything out at the moment.
"Let's go." Jiang Cheng took a step, "Go and have a look."
They came here for the supernatural events in Huishi Mountain, so naturally they would not refuse this sudden fork in the road.
Unlike normal tunnels, there is a light at every interval on the top of the branch tunnel. The light is a dim yellow light, and a rail extends into the branch road.
Jiang Cheng squatted down and looked at the rails in the tunnel. After a moment, he said, "It should be here."
The rails are rusty, and the sleepers underneath are rotten, which is in sharp contrast to the original rails in the tunnel.
It has been at least several decades.
Such rails can definitely not run normal trains, only that ghost train can.
