Chapter 71 Hell Gate

"Bait!?"

Charlize was about to ask carefully, but suddenly felt another fishy wind blowing around.

"This is our real goal!"

Charlotte's face gradually became serious. It seemed that the remaining power of the ghost tiger had really appeared.

Looking up, I saw panic expressions on all the faces of the group of ghosts who were fighting for each other in mid-air. They were trapped in the middle by a sudden strange wind. They wanted to escape but had no way to escape.

The strange wind tore the demons in half one after another, like a ferocious beast wreaking havoc among the crowd. Although the ghosts were able to gather together again after being torn apart, their colors became much lighter.

If it weren't for the inability to make a sound, Charlize believed that they would be screaming hoarsely now.

"It's a pity that only the heroines in horror movies can face danger and survive for an hour and a half just by screaming."

Charlize, the heroine of the true horror movie, complained about herself like this,

"Does this mean it's angry?"

"probably!"

Charlotte's answer is not very sure,

"Without the control of Wei Changhui's consciousness, although the ghost tiger's power will fall asleep, it will still act according to its mandrill instinct when encountering some special circumstances, just like now -"

He pointed at the trembling ghosts in the air,

"These guys were attracted by the smoke emitted by the burning yellow money paper and unconsciously escaped from the control of the ghost tiger. This is something that the instinct of that force will never allow."

"So it was drawn out!?"

Charlize now fully understands Charlotte’s plan——

The smoke from burning yellow money paper is used to attract the ghosts and make them lose control, thereby irritating the ghost tiger's remaining power and allowing it to come directly in front of them driven by instinct.

——This is another plan with links within it, which is in line with the character of Charlotte that she knows. But, what to do next?

Charlize unconsciously turned her eyes to Charlotte beside her, only to find that he was actually reading poetry:

"...I don't believe the sky is blue,

I don't believe thunder's echo,

I don't believe dreams are fake,

I don't believe in death without retribution. "

With the last sentence, Charlize suddenly felt cold under his feet. Looking down, a faint mist was floating on the ground, and vaguely, a huge dark door was opening at Charlotte's feet.

"Sally, stay away! Otherwise Alexis will be involved too!"

Charlotte reminded Charlize loudly, but before she could take action, the situation changed——

As if affected by some strong suction, the ghosts who had been trapped in the air by the strange wind rushed towards Charlotte's position swarm like a huge white wave.

"Flash——"

Before Charlize could finish her reminder, the huge wave swallowed Charlotte up.

"That guy will be fine!"

Alexis reminded the girl in her mind,

"But we really need to hide back. The door under his feet is emitting huge suction. If I stand here any longer, I can hardly hold on!"

"Is that the gate to hell?"

Charlize murmured to himself, but still followed Alexis's advice and stepped back a short distance.

She has seen clearly that Charlotte is indeed fine——

Although he was swallowed up by the huge wave, the ghosts that formed the huge wave were not actually rushing toward him, but the gate at his feet.

The dark door had been completely opened, and the demons were swarming in without causing any movement, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Charlotte stood there quietly, as if suspended above the gate, letting the demons pass by him.

Like a huge stone in the middle of a pillar.

Gradually, the demons all threw themselves into the gate, and the gate slowly closed. Suddenly, a whirlwind blew up around Charlotte, causing his clothes to flutter and his black hair to fly.

"It's the whirlwind brought about by the remaining power of the ghost tiger. Don't worry."

Charlotte waved her hand to the girl, signaling her not to be nervous, but she lowered her head and stared at the dark door that was slowly closing at her feet.

“When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.”

These words suddenly appeared in Charlize's mind.

The door finally closed beneath Charlotte's feet.

"finished?"

Charlize asked cautiously. There is nothing wrong with her, but Charlotte also said just now that the dark door is very dangerous to Alexis who is attached to her.

"it's over."

Charlotte nodded. At this time, the door under his feet had completely disappeared.

"Actually, if Sally had just followed my instructions and broken the bottle at the crossroads when Alexis was still sealed in the bottle, you might have seen this gate a long time ago."

"I've seen you before!?"

Charlize was shocked,

"You mean if I had chosen to break Alexis' bottle, I would have seen this-"

——This is too scary! !

Not only Charlize, but Alexis hidden in her subconscious also complained.

"However, didn't you say before that it needs to be broken at the intersection to be useful?"

"This is a crossroads, a very important but abandoned crossroads!"

Charlotte's face was a little gloomy, and he looked into the distance.

"Sally, do you know about the Pacific Railroad?"

"You mean the railroad that runs from east to west coast of the United States?"

Compared to the average American, Charlize's geographical knowledge is pretty good. She looked at Charlotte and realized an answer,

"Could this be—"

"This is the Pacific Railway. To be precise, it is a branch line connecting the Pacific Railway. However, because it was built together with the official Pacific Railway, it is also considered a part of the Pacific Railway project."

Charlotte tapped the ground twice,

"More than ten years ago, this branch line was demolished due to poor management. And where I stand now is the intersection of the branch line and a dirt road, which is-"

"--crossroads!"

Charlize understood instantly,

"But although the Pacific Railroad was an important transportation line back then, it is now abandoned. Is this intersection still useful?"

"Of course it works!"

Charlotte was very sure;

"In some spells, the glory of modern times can even enhance the magic power more than the prosperity of modern times..."

As a two-ocean country, the United States has always been a difficult problem to communicate between its most prosperous east and west coasts. Before the opening of the Panama Canal, the Pacific Railway, which connected the two oceans, was the main artery of the United States. At that time, the United States could also be said to be a country on the rails.

However, with the development of the automobile industry, the glory of the Pacific Railway gradually came to an end. After the 1960s and 1970s, many sections began to be abandoned or even demolished due to poor management.

This abandoned and later demolished railway in the Vials Valley has also experienced the same splendor and loneliness, and this gap is exactly what Charlotte needs. What's more -

"This section of the Pacific Railway, especially the western section of the Pacific Railway, was built after a lot of sacrifices of life."
