Chapter 17: The Lantern Man in Retro Style

From the information, it can be seen that Xu Zhou did not have a good life.

His father was a gambler and lazy, and his mother was supporting the family and worked hard to raise Xu Zhou.

At that time, Xu Zhou was in high school and needed money. She could only work part-time, working day and night. She was too tired and her body was ruined, and she died of illness.

After she left, Xu Zhou could only work part-time, studying and working, plus his gambling father asked him for money from time to time. In the end, he failed the college entrance examination and was only admitted to an ordinary university.

Xu Zhou's mother has been dead for three years!

So who did Xu Zhou see now?

Are there really ghosts after death?

Although the Yiguihui is an organization that specializes in receiving weird things, the Yiguihui's definition of weird things is not the ghost in cognition.

When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, with all the memories and emotions of his life. If the resentment is too heavy, he will become a fierce ghost after death. This is the ghost in the usual definition.

As for the formation of weirdness, it is still unknown, but after long-term research, weirdness is not formed after death, it is more like a natural rule, a brand new thing.

Ghosts can be killed.

However, only weirdness can cause harm to weirdness, and there are also weirdness that can devour another weirdness to enhance its own strength.

There is also a kind of weird weapon that is contaminated with weirdness or fused with weirdness to hurt weirdness.

Ji Wu has served in the Yiguihui for many years. He has seen all kinds of weird, weird and terrifying weirdness, but he has never heard of or seen ghosts.

Ji Wu feels very strange. Although he has not contracted weirdness, his physique is that of a weird person. He can see the weirdness that ordinary people cannot see. Except for not being able to determine the specific location of the weirdness, he can also see what the contract master can see.

Why, this time Xu Zhou can see his mother, but Ji Wu can't see anything?

What is the difference between them?

Xu Zhou stared at the bridge in a daze. His mother waved at him with a smile, with relief and concern for him in her eyes.

Xu Zhou took another step forward.

Reasonably, he was told that it couldn't be his mother, but emotionally, it was his mother!

The mother who cared about him, cared about him and loved him!

Xu Zhou's eyes turned red.

He thought, since he was now a ghost master, it would be okay to indulge himself, right?

"Mom!"

Xu Zhou rushed towards the bridge.

He was so fast that Ji Wu couldn't stop him.

"Xu Zhou! Don't go over there!"

"Damn it!"

Ji Wu watched Xu Zhou rush into the bridge, his figure submerged in the white fog.

He turned on his phone and sent a text message to Bai Zuo, urging Bai Zuo to come as soon as possible.

Then he rushed in.

Xu Zhou was too young and inexperienced, and Ji Wu was worried about letting him face the weirdness alone.

Crossing the border of the bridge, Ji Wu felt that he had come to a white world.

There was nothing but fog around, and the visible range was only a few steps away.

Ji Wu had no choice but to keep moving forward by feeling.

He didn't know how long he had walked. He only felt that the distance he had walked was far longer than the length of a bridge, but the white fog still seemed to have no end.

Was he really walking on the bridge?

Where did the end of the white fog lead to?

Ji Wu wiped the sweat from his face and stopped to take a few breaths. His physical strength had been systematically trained, so even if he ran five kilometers, he would not be as tired as he is now, not to mention that he had been walking fast to save his physical strength.

There was something wrong with this white fog!

And Xu Zhou, why didn't he see him after walking for so long?

Ji Wu supported his knees and lowered his head to breathe. His physical strength was too much. This white fog seemed to accelerate his physical loss, and this process was difficult to detect.

Ji Wu often trained and knew his physical strength very well. If he were an ordinary person, he might be like a headless fly in this endless white fog.

He was exhausted without knowing it, and in the end he couldn't even move. He fell in the white fog and couldn't stand up again.

Ji Wu took out his mobile phone again and tried to contact Xu Zhou.

The signal on the mobile phone was blank, and the calls made could not be connected.

"Will the strange area affect the signal?"

Such strange areas are very common, but Ji Wu is not sure whether this strange place is a strange area.

Because he did not encounter a strange person.

Ji Wu rested for a while, and when he wanted to continue to move forward to find Xu Zhou, a crisp bell sounded behind him.

It was like the sound of wind chimes hanging somewhere, ding-dong when blown by the wind.

Ji Wu turned around quickly, and there was still a vast expanse of white behind him.

He squinted his eyes, and it seemed that something was moving in the white fog, coming towards this side.

Ding~Dingling~

In the white fog, half a person's height, a red dot was shaking and flying towards this side.

The closer the distance, the clearer Ji Wu could see.

It turned out that it was a lit lamp with several bells hanging on it. When the lamp was shaken, they made a crisp sound.

An old man with a hunched back wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat walked over slowly with a lamp.

He was already gray-haired and his face was full of wrinkles. He saw Ji Wu standing by with empty hands and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Young man, why don't you light a lamp when you walk through the vagina?"

"You can't get out like this."

Ji Wu couldn't tell whether he was a human or a ghost, so he stood there silently without answering.

The old man was very considerate and didn't ask him why he was here or where he was going. Instead, he said as he walked:

"Follow the old man and walk out quickly."

Ji Wu thought about it on the spot. He continued to stay in the white fog. He would either keep walking until his physical strength was exhausted or wait for someone to find him.

There might be more than one space in the white fog. The space that Xu Zhou entered might be different from the space that Ji Wu entered, so Ji Wu never saw Xu Zhou.

After thinking about it, Ji Wu still followed the old man silently. No matter what was waiting for him ahead, it was better than being trapped in the white fog and unable to do anything.

The red light just illuminated the area around the two people.

The old man did not speak.

The two walked in the white fog.

This time, Ji Wu found that the speed of his physical strength loss was normal.

Ji Wu glanced at the lamp in the old man's hand. Could it be related to the lamp?

"Young man, we're here."

The old man took a step forward and disappeared in front of Ji Wu.

Ji Wu followed him out of the white fog.

The scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

Without the obstruction of the white fog, Ji Wu found that he had come to a completely new territory.

Ji Wu looked back.

The white fog covered the bridge, and when he stepped out of the bridge, the fog disappeared.

The old man still held the lantern and walked forward unsteadily. On the way, he met many people holding lanterns.

They were men and women, old and young, and their dress was different from that of the people outside. Most of them wore ancient costumes, which were very similar to the old man's.
