Chapter 517: The Lingering Fragrance
There is an abandoned viewing platform at the highest point of Tianming Mountain.
The original color of the tower column, which is more than ten meters high, has been eaten away by the years. It stands here like a rough diamond pillar.
The upward ladder has gone to an unknown place, and the bare viewing platform has become dispensable.
Ji Li stood at the top of Tianming Mountain, facing the wind, overlooking the whole city.
For him, the streets and alleys of this city did not feel familiar. Standing on a high point and looking, his heart was just unfamiliar.
Two minutes ago, he saw Su Qiner's body and had his first contact with the ghost boy.
In fact, there is no strict standard for the law of ghost children's killings until now.
The ghost boy appeared for the first time at the Moon Platform.
At that time, Su Qiner saw a ghost every twenty minutes or so, but the killing was finally stopped due to special circumstances.
Outside the Heianan Villa, the ghost boy killed the first clerk.
Jiang Jiang's life ended very quickly this time. It took 13 minutes from the first appearance of the ghost boy to the third death from seeing the ghost.
The time was greatly shortened.
Chasing Yu Guo was the third time that Gui Tong attacked.
Yu Guo's "death time" came neither fast nor slow, and it lasted 24 minutes.
Although this rule seems to be disordered and chaotic, there are still commonalities in it.
First: The stronger the victim's obsession, the faster the death time will be shortened.
For example, Jiang Jiang.
Second: The more specific the victim's fear is, the faster the death process will be.
For example, Yu Guo.
This is the killing rule of Gui Tong that Ji Li has mastered so far.
However, this time it seems that there is a variable.
Ji Li's hair was flying in the wind, and he turned his head calmly to look at a certain open space.
There stood a short and vague black shadow, quietly stopping in place.
If Ji Li did not move, it would not move, always keeping a distance of ten steps away.
But Ji Li could sense that the other party was always observing him.
"Why is this happening..."
Gui Tong's killing is not in this mode.
It will only appear for a moment, stamping the mark into the hearts of the living, and then quickly dissipate until it flashes out again later.
Like now, the phenomenon of following and observing living people all the time is strange.
Ji Li has no way to deal with the unsolvable ghost child.
Among the clues currently under his control, he still believes that destroying the ghost child's body and the pure white porcelain jar is a way to accelerate the group annihilation.
This method can get rid of the ghost child, but it will inevitably make the root ghost Black Eucalyptus no longer restrained.
The reason why he is willing to stay and take on the main battlefield is largely because it takes time for the ghost child to kill people.
And Black Eucalyptus will also be restrained by the ghost child.
In this way, even if the situation on Tianming Mountain is chaotic and there are many ghosts, there is a possibility that the living people can delay by chance.
Therefore, there will be more time left for Clyde, Yu Guo, and Zhan Xun.
Only then can this mission be pulled back from the edge of the cliff.
But in front of him, the strange behavior of the No. 2 ghost child made him more and more uneasy.
Ji Li looked at it deeply, picked up a brick from the ground, and turned away.
He was naturally happy that the ghost boy was not in a hurry to take action.
Now he needed to go to the cemetery on the mountain to see if the body of Hei Eucalyptus was still in the tomb.
If the body was not there, then the way this woman became a ghost was likely related to the body.
Ji Li left, and the No. 2 ghost boy followed him at a range of ten steps.
…
Tianming Mountain was divided into two, and Ji Li headed towards the cemetery along the east side of the mountain road.
At the foot of the mountain on the west side, a yellow light with an astonishing speed was quickly shuttling through the dense forest, also aiming directly at the cemetery.
Huang Banxian used the acceleration talisman again, forcibly exchanging safety time in this way of burning life.
A thumb-thick incense left twisted wisps of smoke behind him as he moved.
However, because the speed was too fast, the hanging wind greatly compressed the burning time of the incense.
Huang Banxian did not dare to look back, because he had really seen the horror of the ghost boy.
All sin objects have no effect on it, but sin objects like long burning incense actually emit the same kind of breath to attract it.
Huang Banxian and Clay are both from the ninth branch. They can kill anyone. With the blessing of long burning incense, the ghost boy will theoretically target Huang Banxian.
In order to delay the time of seeing the ghost as much as possible, Huang Banxian did not hesitate to use the acceleration talisman again.
Although his physical condition at the moment is not much different from that of an eighty-year-old man, the effect of the sin object on compressing the human body is still there.
"The Taoist can only do this step. Ghost boy No. 3 should go up the mountain.
Xiao Kezi, you will be sorry if you fail to complete the task!"
The long burning incense has been completely extinguished, and Huang Banxian's speed is gradually slowing down.
The effect should have accelerated for 5 minutes, but in fact it was no longer effective after less than 3 minutes.
The reason is that the real spiritual source of all Huang Banxian's talismans is his blood.
Huang Banxian has two sin objects, which are most praised and are also the capital for his survival to this day.
One is the ability of divination.
This ability comes from a certain tortoise shell.
However, he did not dare to use the tortoise shell for divination unless it was an extreme case, and instead used a wooden stick.
Second, the blood in his body.
His blood was infected by a curse during a mission.
The fusion of human blood and ghost blood, and the talismans written with one's own blood will have various effects.
Although their abilities are very low, they are almost all "small-scale" tools, but they are still useful at certain times.
Just like the acceleration talisman, the strength talisman, the energy talisman, etc.
Of course, no one except him knows about the time-related sin item, the Sudden Jade, which is rare in the ten major branches.
The only person who knows about it is Clay, who has long died in the maze.
But even so, Huang Banxian had a very difficult time on this mission.
The price of the sin items tortured him like an old man who was terminally ill. He had a hard time jumping forward.
The wrinkles on Huang Banxian's face squeezed together, as if he was groaning in pain.
His strength was getting less and less, but he didn't dare to stop or look behind him.
Ghost Child No. 3 should be on the mountain, but where it is is still unknown.
Calculating the time, I'm afraid that the ghost of Hei Eucalyptus has also arrived at Tianming Mountain.
Huang Banxian saw that the entrance to the cemetery was so close, so he gave up jumping and crawled forward step by step on the ground.
Frustrated.
Only frustrated.
Every time Huang Banxian crawled forward, he felt more resentful.
His current state was not even one-tenth of his peak state. If it was because of fighting against ghosts, it would be fine.
But the situation today was caused by living people.
If this continues, he will soon become the first clerk to be dragged to death by the price of sin.
"I can't go on like this. I can't walk into the cemetery in this state. I must meet up with Ji Li!"
Huang Banxian stopped moving forward. He struggled to get up and sat on the ground.
His small eyes were almost completely covered by his drooping eyelids, but the light flashing inside was still very clear.
His physical condition was poor, but his brain was still working well.
"Ji Li is moving as usual and his mind is clear. I am running out of strength, but I still have one or two chances to use the sin object.
I can only survive by his side.
How can I reunite with Ji Li as quickly as possible..."
Huang Banxian sat on the ground and slowly closed his eyes, thinking about what else he could use.
"Mobile phone?
No, by the time he comes to pick me up, I will have been spotted by the ghost child and dragged to death.
Besides that, what else can I borrow from..."
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of the long burning incense.
The long incense was lit, flowing in the wind, sticking to people's clothes, and the fragrance lingered.
Huang Banxian grabbed the corner of his clothes and sniffed carefully. He had a scent that attracted ghosts.
"Black Eucalyptus!
The ghost came to Tianming Mountain to kill people, but before killing people, it would go to see Ji Li.
I have a smell that attracts it, so it will come to see me first, and then take me to Ji Li and kill him together."
Huang Banxian is not afraid of black eucalyptus, he is only afraid of ghost children.
Since there is no solution for the ghost child, there is still a solution for the black eucalyptus so far!
