Chapter 557: The Terrifying Town, Survival in the End of the World

"Xiao He! Xiao Fang! Are you here?"

When the battle was about to break out, Lin Yuan's voice finally came.

He Yuelian and Fang Shiming both looked over quickly and saw Lin Yuan waving at them outside a two-story building. He seemed to be standing on a platform, so that he was taller than the surrounding ghosts, allowing He Yuelian and others to see him clearly.

But his greeting was like Tang Monk's flesh, instantly attracting the ghosts that were staring at He Yuelian.

"Brother Yuan, be careful!"

He Yuelian exclaimed and rushed over, saying, "Old Hua, make way!"

“Welcome~”

The Starving Ghost Laohua did not hesitate and started to solicit customers directly. Its voice was very tempting and it managed to control some of the ghosts.

But it's only a part of it.

The level of terror caused by ghosts screaming at people is still too low. Even with the supernatural power of starving ghosts, it is impossible to affect such a large number of ghosts.

The farther away you are, the less affected you are.

It was as if the sound was blocked by a wall formed by ghosts and could not be transmitted at all.

"Wait for me!"

Fang Shiming's face turned dark and he quickly carried the ghost messenger Lao Fan on his back and immediately followed.

During the several months he had been in the Peace Hotel, he had already become an outlier by relying on his role as the "store manager". He controlled the body of the evil spirit with his consciousness and did not shy away from direct contact with it.

It is for this reason that he wanted to "marry" the ghost messenger home and make him his own puzzle piece.

Otherwise, as a living person, he would not think of such a suicidal thing.

However, just as he hugged the thighs of the ghost catcher Lao Fan with his hands behind his back, he felt sore all over, as if all his strength was completely drained at this moment. His knees softened and he knelt down.

There was a plop, a very loud sound, but it was drowned out by the movement of the ghost group.

Now he couldn't even shout out and could only watch He Yuelian and the starving ghost Lao Hua leave. Then the way out was cut off and blocked by the old ball and the group of ghosts.

"Damn it!"

Fang Shiming tried hard to stand up, but the ghost's body was like a mountain, pressing him down so hard that he couldn't move at all.

Gulu!
The old balls began to surge towards him, and the evil spirits nearby, whose faces were covered with yellow paper, also targeted him and kept approaching him.

The ghost catcher's ability to suppress the spirits has become useless in front of such a large number of evil spirits, and he is no longer able to suppress these evil spirits.

"Damn it, am I, the CEO of my friend circle, going to die here?"

With the White Mist Seed, Fang Shiming was not worried that he would actually die here, but it would feel very depressing to die like this!
It is obvious that I still have a lot of strength that has not been fully utilized, and it is obvious that I still have many trump cards that have not been used.

As a result, because of the ghost, I can only stay here and wait for death?

puff!
The first old ball rolled over and touched him.

With just a light touch, the old ball exploded, and the black, smelly and sticky liquid instantly splashed all over Fang Shiming.

Despite this, he did not have any special feelings, except that his eyelids felt a little heavy, but soon under the influence of the white mist seed, his consciousness returned to normal.

"Can these balls suppress the spirits, or target consciousness? Torture is coming!"

Fang Shiming felt extremely regretful and completely hated He Yuelian, but none of this was enough to change what was happening before his eyes.

Countless old leather balls rushed over and exploded after touching his body, quickly making him and the ghost catcher Lao Fan's bodies smelly, black and sticky.

But he had no way to resist.

Every time the ball exploded, his consciousness would be attacked. The horror of this attack was not low. If it were not for the White Mist Seed, even if it was an alien, it would most likely die here.

But the feeling of being attacked is real.

So, in a very short period of time, Fang Shiming experienced the process of his consciousness weakening, dissipating, re-solidifying, and then repeating this cycle over and over again.

This experience didn't last long, but it made him feel like he was in hell and drove him crazy.

Moreover, ghosts with their faces covered with yellow paper have already come over. Their killing patterns and methods are unknown. Everything is unknown, but it is full of danger.

As they continue to come into contact with these old balls.

The spirit in the old ball was also devoured by them. The yellow paper, which was originally just slightly undulating, actually seemed as if the creature behind the paper was really breathing and came alive.

It's so weird, which proves how terrifying these evil spirits are!
However, these evil spirits are not just one, but a group of them. They are spread all over the streets and the entire county, densely packed like a sea of ​​evil spirits!

"I hope the boss can come and rescue me soon!"

The terrible torture began at this moment. Fang Shiming had no intention of recording how much time had passed. He only knew that this painful torture was continuing and continuing...

Huh, what is that?
The feeling of his consciousness being attacked disappeared, and under the influence of the white mist seed, Fang Shiming's mind quickly returned to normal, and he finally saw the situation around him clearly.

Lin Yuan was already standing in front of him, holding a large Black Star pistol in his hand, looking at him with a worried look on his face, "Xiao Fang, are you okay?"

Fang Shiming has gotten used to the "store manager" calling him Xiao Fang sometimes and Lao Fang sometimes.

He was just happy now, "No, it's okay. Thank you Brother Yuan for saving me. Now, I'm finally okay."

"It's not that simple. There are too many wild animals here. We need to find a place and can't stay here." Lin Yuan said solemnly, "What's wrong with Lao Fan? Why are you lying on the ground all the time?"

"I don't know either. Old Fan had just entered the city not long ago. When he saw these ghost... things and these beasts, he fainted directly. He is too heavy, I can hardly carry him." Fang Shiming said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I'll take a look."

Lin Yuan quickly squatted down and checked the condition of Ghost Messenger Lao Fan. He still looked competent, and he quickly came to a conclusion, "It seems that there is some explanation for Lao Fan's retirement. This should be a sequelae of his military service. When faced with a big scene, he will instinctively avoid it, and coma is the best way to escape."

The "store manager" would often inexplicably make some movements and gestures that were not suitable for his character, and Fang Shiming and others had long been accustomed to this.

As for the NPC, it is very likely that he has loaded new knowledge upon him, which is understandable.

What they need to care about is how to find the advantages in these new settings and then use them to benefit themselves.

"What should we do now? Old Fan is too heavy. If I carry him on my back, I won't be able to move at all." Fang Shiming said with a wry smile.

"This is simple."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a black eye patch, which he put directly on the eyes of the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

Soon, the ghost messenger Lao Fan, who was originally unconscious and had no strength left and was resting on Fang Shiming, suddenly woke up.

Feeling the weight off his body, Fang Shiming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.

Only then did he realize that He Yuelian and the starving ghost Lao Hua were standing next to him, and in the sky, pink peach blossom rain was falling.

The scope of this peach blossom rain was not large, covering only the members of the Peace Hotel.

Outside the peach blossom rain, the old leather ball and the ghosts covered with yellow paper are all still there. As more and more old leather balls are touched, these ghosts are gradually recovering their breathing, just like a dead person replenishing his yang energy and about to be resurrected.

"Let's go quickly. Xiao He's ability is not enough. We must find a place to hold on and wait for help. By the way, where is Xiao Guo? Didn't he come with you?" Lin Yuan fiddled with the black star in his hand and asked puzzledly.

"When we came over, the taxi was forced to stop by these ghost things. He and Lao Hei were guarding the taxi." Fang Shiming said.

Lin Yuan was immediately annoyed and said, "It's already this late and you're still guarding the taxi. Don't you know that the taxi is dead but the people are alive? Let's go and save them!"

"I understand." Fang Shiming stood up immediately, but his heart moved slightly.

A boss who can say such words and is willing to risk his life to save an employee, a dog, doesn't it seem like a bad thing to follow such a boss?
Even though they all knew that with the "store manager" here, the situation before them shouldn't be a big problem, the "store manager" himself didn't know it!

Lin Yuan's actions also greatly deepened the affection between Fang Shiming and He Yuelian.

"Let's go, Xiao He! I'll lead the way!"

Lin Yuan raised the Black Star and fired a shot towards the Peach Blossom Rain. The power of this shot was so great that it continuously smashed a dozen old leather balls nearby, and at the same time blew away the ghost standing there with his face covered with yellow paper.

With just one shot, a vacuum of nearly five meters was created.

Although the old balls kept pouring in from all around, the frequency of the black stars in Lin Yuan's hand was not low. He completely cleared them out before they could gather around.

“Welcome~”

Since the starving ghost Lao Hua could be called over by Lin Yuan, he naturally couldn't be a burden.

After Lin Yuan took action, it rushed directly in front of Lin Yuan and activated its ability to call ghosts, making the old balls and evil spirits that were rushing over from all directions all stay where they were.

In this way, Lin Yuan led the way and Lao Hua determined the ghost.

The man and the dog worked together and quickly cleared a path, but this path did not last long and was just enough for them to pass through.

When they left, the road was instantly flooded.

As for He Yuelian?
After she moved, the pink peach blossom rain stopped falling. Fang Shiming asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Can't the ghost painting be used?"

If there was a ghost realm with ghost paintings, their actions would be much smoother.

It won't be like what's going on now, like surviving the apocalypse. If you don't know, you might think that this small group of people are living in a zombie apocalypse. He Yuelian said in a deep voice: "My supernatural power can only be used when I stop. It will be affected when I move."

"There are such restrictions on ghost paintings? That's not right. I remember that ghost paintings have been wandering in the West and in our country for a long time. They are all large areas of ghost areas. How could there be such restrictions?" Fang Shiming was puzzled. Suddenly he looked around, and then looked at Lin Yuan who was bravely leading the way in front.

He Yuelian said in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? Could it be that Brother Yuan is deliberately increasing the difficulty for us and limiting my ability to exert my strength?"

"You said it yourself, I didn't think so." Fang Shiming snorted coldly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He always felt that today's actions were a bit abrupt and weird.

The ghost messenger is easy to deal with.

There are too many ghosts around, there are hundreds of them in just one street, not to mention the entire county.

This number far exceeds the number that the ghost catcher can suppress, so it is understandable that it has problems, except for the coma.

He regained consciousness with the blindfold on and was able to move?
So, whatever the "store manager" says, that's how it should be set?
Although this is the rule of the Peace Hotel, it is really too annoying at certain special times, such as right now.

He Yuelian's ghost paintings are even more bizarre.

Clearly, before they came into contact with the "store manager", He Yuelian was still able to drive forward in the ghostly painted ghost realm.

Although the supernatural conflicts and entanglements here were too great, which caused the ghost paintings that Zhang Xianguang claimed to be the strongest ghost domain to be greatly affected, it was still possible to move around after all.

As a result, after meeting the "store manager", I could only stand there and feel something was wrong no matter how I thought about it.

"No! How could I doubt the boss? If it weren't for him, I would have just been experiencing a torture worse than death, or even died a few months ago. It's impossible for me to live until now. Now I actually question the boss, I really deserve to die!"

Fang Shiming suddenly "woke up" and immediately slapped himself.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan in front was conscientiously clearing the way and did not notice it, so Fang Shiming did not need to explain. He Yuelian on the side just looked at him in confusion and did not ask any more questions.

The three people, one ghost and one dog moved forward smoothly.

Under the influence of Lao Hua's supernatural power, old balls and evil ghosts were constantly being fixed around, but its supernatural power could not have too much impact, so that more old balls and ghosts rushed over from outside.

Old leather balls are fine. If they touch a ghost, they will shrink and lose their supernatural powers.

But ghosts are different.

They pressed one on top of the other, like a pyramid, and soon even the tops of everyone's heads were blocked, as if they were passing through a tunnel.

But this tunnel is still blocked, and they need to open up a new road.

There was constant landslide at the back of the tunnel. If they walked slower, they would easily be buried by the "rocks" and die inside.

As time passed, the space for the three people, the dog and the ghost became smaller and smaller.

Fortunately, Guo Fan also discovered them, but he was not happy, but terrified, and hurriedly shouted to the top of his head: "Uncle Hei, there is a big thing coming, can you handle it?"

In his sight, there was a bunch of ghosts and old balls piled together, rushing towards him like a giant ghost ball as high as a story.

It's obvious that the evil ghosts found that conventional methods could not invade, so they came up with this method and created a temporary evil ghost aggregation!

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Lao Hei didn't eat the ghost that screamed human, nor did he eat the parrot at the cash register, so he would only respond to Guo Fan's panic with practical actions.

As it shouted rapidly, the knocking on the door inside the carriage became heavier.

Starting from the location of the ghost taxi, the ground around it began to rot, as if it had gone through countless time and years.

There is a deeper darkness emerging.

But this change soon stopped, or rather, stopped at one meter away from the Ghost Taxi, and this is also the range that Lao Hei can now suppress.

It seemed that he realized that simply knocking on the door had no effect, or that the supernatural power was not enough.

The four doors of the ghost taxi burst open as if they were pushed open by some huge force. The old balls and evil ghosts around it seemed to be hit hard and flew backwards.

The space that was originally only one meter around the Ghost Taxi was cleared to about ten meters.

The ghost group in Guo Fan's eyes was also cleared, revealing Lin Yuan, Fang Shiming, He Yuelian, the ghost messenger and Lao Hua. This surprised Guo Fan so much that he quickly got out of the car and ran over excitedly, "Brother Yuan!"

"Snapped!"

Guo Fan had just approached when he was slapped by Lin Yuan. This slap made Guo Fan stand there in a daze, confused and at a loss.

Then Lin Yuan said angrily, "It's so dangerous here, but you don't know how to find a place to hide with Lao Hei instead of guarding a broken taxi. Don't you know that your life safety is more important than a broken taxi?"

"Brother Yuan~"

Guo Fan's heart suddenly lost all its grudges, and was filled with warmth of care. "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan. I just thought that you gave me the taxi, and I must protect it well."

"What protection? Hurry up and find a place to hide! Lao Hei, you too, you and Lao Hua lead the way in front!" Lin Yuan turned his head and started scolding Lao Hei who also ran in front of him.

Lao Hei's three heads, as well as the three heads in the mouths of these three heads, all drooped neatly, as if they had done something wrong.

After hearing Lin Yuan's arrangements, six "Woof!"s rang out in unison, and then they stood at the front of the team together with Lao Hua.

Lin Yuan looked around and pointed to the nearest five-story building and said, "Let's go there first. There shouldn't be any of these ghost things in the building."

"Wang!"

“Welcome~”

"it is good!"

"I understand, Brother Yuan."

The three men and the two dogs responded in unison, and then the two dogs charged forward, Lin Yuan attacked in the middle, and He Yuelian, Fang Shiming, Guo Fan and the ghost messenger Lao Fan were the last ones to cover them.

Of course, in this situation, the danger of being cut off is not high. The ones in real danger are Lao Hua, Lao Hei, and Lin Yuan.

However, Lao Hua and Lao Hei performed very well. With the cooperation of the two, they suppressed the old ball and the group of ghosts three meters away and prevented them from getting close.

Even if there were occasionally ghosts that were too terrifying and were able to break through the blockade of the two dogs and approach, they would be directly blasted away by Lin Yuan’s large black star.

On the contrary, the three people and one ghost who were left behind basically had nothing to do.

Just like that, everyone rushed into the building safely, but the first floor was also full of old leather balls and evil spirits with their faces covered with yellow paper.

It was not until the people, dogs and ghosts went up to the second floor that the ghost things disappeared.

"call!"

Fang Shiming and Guo Fan sat down on the ground. The ghost catcher Lao Fan squatted down, put his left hand on Fang Shiming's back and gently stroked it, while his right hand reached out to Guo Fan's abdomen.

Fortunately, Guo Fan noticed it and was so scared that he rolled and crawled away.

The ghost catcher Lao Fan seemed a little hesitant, but soon felt that the clothes and the ghost coffin on Fang Shiming's back were more important, so he did not leave.

He Yuelian was in better condition. She looked around the second floor.

This is a teahouse that looks very old, probably from fifty or sixty years ago. However, all the wooden tables and chairs are covered with dust, and it looks as if no living person has been here for many years.

She went to the window and looked down, and suddenly her scalp went numb.

Countless ghosts with their faces covered with yellow paper gathered on the road, standing quietly, while countless old leather balls were surging on the ground.

They will shrivel up after touching the ghosts' legs, and then the ghosts' breathing will become more obvious.

It’s as if these old balls are just supernatural objects that temporarily store supernatural powers, and when needed, they will return the supernatural powers to these ghosts.

"There are hundreds of ghosts in just one street, and no matter how small this county is, there should be 20 to 30 streets. In other words, there are at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of ghosts like this in this county?"

Just thinking of this number, He Yuelian felt her scalp tingling and her back chilled.

She controls a ghost painting, which possesses an extremely terrifying ghost domain, but when she was in this county town, she was also greatly suppressed.

She had been wondering if this was a restriction deliberately set for herself by the "store manager", but now that she thought about it, there were too many ghosts here, and all kinds of supernatural powers were too strange. It was normal for this situation to occur, and the "store manager" could not be blamed at all.

"I misunderstood Brother Yuan."

He Yuelian looked at Lin Yuan apologetically, and when she saw that Lin Yuan was also looking at her, she couldn't help but feel happy.

and many more!

She suddenly remembered that she came in a hurry, and after meeting Lin Yuan, she was in a hurry to rush back to save people. She didn't even have time to lift up the red veil. It was so rude.

She quickly lifted up the red veil on her head, revealing her inhumanly beautiful face. She said with a mixture of joy and anger, "Brother Yuan, are you okay?"

"I should be the one asking you this. Aren't we only asking Lao Fan, Lao Hei and Lao Hua to come here? Why did you come here too? This place is so dangerous. Is this the place for you?"

Lin Yuan asked unhappily.

He Yuelian did not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in her heart, but instead felt even more warm-hearted, "I was worried about you, Brother Yuan, so I took the initiative to follow you. Xiao Guo couldn't stop me, you know."

Guo Fan rolled his eyes secretly: "Thank you so much."
