Chapter 12 Summoning Ghosts (11)

Is there something wrong with the box?!
impossible!
The deal is done!
Lin Shuyue felt a chill run through her body. She couldn't tell whether she was truly possessed by a vengeful ghost or if it was just a psychological effect caused by Lu Jinzhao's words.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Her expression froze, revealing a look that was both funny and exasperating.

The train is almost here, and she's already used her trump card once. At this moment, she's the last person who wants anything unexpected to happen.

but.
Lu Jinzhao shook his head and even took two steps back: "I have no reason to lie to you."

"Or do you think it's better for me to keep this from you?"

That is impossible.

Neither Lin Shuyue nor Lu Jinzhao wanted to unknowingly wait for the train to arrive while carrying a ghost.

Therefore, Lu Jinzhao chose to tell the other party about this directly.

But the next moment, she saw through Lin Shuyue's back that the ghost on her back seemed to move.

The ghost was discovered by the person beneath it, so it no longer hid.

The distance was too close; its attack didn't even take time. In an instant, Lin Shuyue felt a bone-chilling cold. She instinctively wanted to grab the box, to give more flesh and blood so that the box could save her life, but she couldn't.

She was completely unable to move!

She tried to struggle, but the chill in her body grew stronger and stronger, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on her back. She couldn't see her face turn deathly pale in an instant; she only felt as if her body was fixed in the air by iron, completely unable to move.

Ordinary people are powerless when attacked by ghosts.

She used all her strength, but could only barely turn her eyes to look at Lu Jinzhao.

--Help!

She doesn't want to accept her fate.

Even though she now realized she had made a grave mistake during this ghostly mission, it was too late to undo the damage.

Would that newcomer dare to come and save her?
She can see ghosts, so she must have seen ghosts attacking her, right?
Lu Jinzhao did see it clearly. The ghost on Lin Shuyue's back was tightly hugging her, as if it were hugging a cute teddy bear. Human bones and flesh were as fragile as cotton in front of it. With just a little force, Lin Shuyue's arm suddenly caved in, and the bones shattered instantly.

As expected, within ten seconds, Lin Shuyue will be crumpled into a blurry mass of flesh and blood by the ghost, just like a fragile piece of paper.

From the perspective of someone who cannot see ghosts, Lin Shuyue would probably be crushed into a lump of rotten flesh by "air".

Lu Jinzhao didn't look up and couldn't see Lin Shuyue's pleading eyes, but he knew that now was not the time to sit and wait for death.

Although she could have easily turned and run away, Lu Jinzhao made another choice.

The moment she saw the dent in Lin Shuyue's arm, she realized that the ghost's attack had begun.

This also confirmed that ghosts truly lack intelligence, and Jiang Yingzhi was not lying.

It could have continued to lie low, but after being discovered by Lin Shuyue, it immediately launched an attack.

They seem to have an unbreakable attack process; for example, humans must first "break the taboo," and if a person targeted by a ghost discovers the ghost, the ghost will immediately begin its attack.

It's probably the "rules" that Jiang Yingzhi mentioned.

Confirming this, Lu Jinzhao decisively ran quickly towards Lin Shuyue's location, then took out a knife and a box, forcefully cut Lin Shuyue's palm, and then opened the box and stuffed it into her immobile hand.

After doing all this, Lu Jinzhao realized that her body was extremely cold. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would lose control of her body like Lin Shuyue.

Even though she wasn't touched by the ghost, she was still affected. Was it because of this eye? After Lu Jinzhao finished doing all this, she quickly retreated, leaving Lin Shuyue, or rather, leaving the ghost about two meters away. The chilling, bone-chilling feeling that seemed to be freezing her dissipated.

"Is the affected area only two meters?"

It wasn't far, but she still didn't know the ghost's "speed".

However, if she guessed correctly, those who had not performed the Cup Fairy Ritual on this platform need not worry about this ghost chasing after her.

The Cup Fairy is a forbidden ritual that establishes a connection with a ghost, allowing the ghost to attack the person performing the ritual. Even if someone who has not performed the ritual brushes past the ghost, they will not be attacked, nor will they feel the ghost's chilling aura.

Like the interval between life and death.

The premise is that this person is not Lu Jinzhao.

Because she now has a cornea from a dead person, this eye blurs the lines between life and death and can see ghosts. So, the moment she makes eye contact with a ghost, she will be exposed to the ghost's gaze, without needing any ritual.

Her situation was far more dangerous than that of passengers whose mission was merely to perform a ceremony.

Lu Jinzhao's mind was racing. She was unwilling to run away directly because she realized how dangerous her situation was. Simply running away would not save her.

In the few seconds it took her to think, Lin Shuyue's body had already undergone tremendous changes.

The opened box seemed like a greedy mouth, tightly biting Lin Shuyue's palm. Countless drops of blood flowed from the wound into this insatiable mouth, and Lin Shuyue's body suddenly weakened, but the feeling of being imprisoned disappeared.

But that's all!

The ghost inside her hasn't left; it's even trying to kill her!

The box and the ghost were locked in a brief standoff for about two seconds. Lin Shuyue's pupils suddenly contracted. She seemed to sense something, but she could only manage to utter a single "no" before deflated like a punctured balloon.

The entire process lasted less than three seconds. The box, at the cost of Lin Shuyue's entire body, helped her completely drive away the ghost.

——Crack.

It was the box that fell from the sky onto the ground.

It was the sound of a corpse, its skeleton barely covered by skin, falling to the ground.

Her body was completely unrecognizable; Lu Jinzhao had never seen anything more horrifying than this in a horror movie.

She forced herself to suppress her fear and looked down, glancing around at the ground.
Missed.

The ghost that Lin Shuyue summoned has indeed left.

Whether it was because of Lin Shuyue's death or because of the ghost box, at this moment, one of the ghosts that could have endangered Lu Jinzhao's life in this station is gone.

Witnessing a person die for the first time was still terrifying. Even though Lu Jinzhao had been mentally preparing herself since getting on the bus, she was still so frightened that her hands and feet went cold and she didn't dare to move for a while.

She stood there for a moment, feeling her cold body gradually warm up, then suddenly closed her eyes, forcing herself to cheer up.

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

Lin Shuyue is dead, but the mission is not over yet. We cannot lose our minds just because we are scared.

Lu Jinzhao's heart was pounding wildly, but this simple self-adjustment did not calm it down. However, his body had already started moving.

She took a few steps forward, turning her eyes away from Lin Shuyue's body, and picked up the box that had fallen to the side.
