Chapter 15 Summoning Ghosts (14)

Is now the right time?
Lu Jinzhao's mind went blank for a moment, because she realized that her "death day" had come.

The ghost followed her, but she didn't kill it. First, because she hadn't seen the ghost, and the rules restricted it. Second, because she hadn't led it to the station yet.

But now, the time has come.

"Little Deer, why aren't you looking at us?"

NS?
Where did these doors come from?

You don’t even want to act anymore, right?
The silence in Lu Jinzhao's heart lessened her fear somewhat, and also made her realize once again that ghosts do not have much intelligence. They only act on instinct, which is why people possessed by ghosts do not speak logically and will expose the ghost's purpose.

Humans have no chance of winning in a direct confrontation with ghosts, but humans have brains.

——Boom

That's the sound of a train pulling into the station.

The car is coming.

The ghost became even more agitated, and Lu Jinzhao felt that the shoulder that the ghost was grabbing no longer belonged to him.

Not only was her body becoming numb, but the ghost's influence also seemed to be slowing down her thinking.

The feeling that something was approaching was almost intuitive, as if a rotting face was staring straight at her, getting closer and closer, waiting for the moment she would open her eyes.

In that instant, she would meet those murky, deathly white eyes.

Although she couldn't open her eyes, her willpower seemed to be wavering as her body became numb.

She thought that perhaps it was an illusion created by the ghost behind her, and there was no ghost in front of her at all. She dared not open her eyes and could not escape. Wasn't she just waiting to die?
The presence in front of me was getting closer again.

Ghosts don't breathe, so you can only sense when something is approaching.

But this was enough to make Lu Jinzhao tense, especially since she also smelled a strong stench of decay!

The smell was as if she were face to face with a corpse, with no more than a centimeter between them!

suddenly.

A cold touch landed on her eyelids, somewhat like human skin, but with a slightly sticky feel, and the stench was even stronger, as if a rotting finger had landed on her eyes.

Lu Jinzhao's breath hitched; she could feel her eyelids being forcibly pried open.

She can already see some images.

There was indeed a ghost standing in front of her, but the ghost's hands were hanging down, probably because she hadn't broken any taboos and therefore couldn't touch her directly.

So, the one forcibly prying open her eyelids is the ghost behind her?
We have to do something. If this continues, she will die in no more than five seconds.

Lu Jinzhao gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife from his pocket, stabbing it fiercely at the hand that was grabbing his shoulder!

—Pfft

It was a knife piercing human flesh, but no screams came from the person behind.

This is understandable; Lu Jinzhao even doubted whether she could still feel pain.

A chill, completely different from before, came from his shoulder; it was blood, the already cold blood from the body of this person possessed by a ghost.

Can a person survive if their blood gets this cold?

Without time to think, Lu Jinzhao immediately shouted, "Cen Duo! If you want to live, make a deal with it!"

As he spoke, Lu Jinzhao took the box out of his pocket and pressed it against the hand that had been stabbed by the knife.

She wasn't sure if doing this would be effective, as it was very risky.

She guessed that the person possessed by the ghost behind her was Cen Duo, and she was pretty sure of it, but she wasn't sure if Cen Duo could hear her or if she would do as she was told.

It's uncertain whether this box can solve the problem of this ghost, and even if it does, there's still another ghost in front of us.

Lu Jinzhao was unwilling to make a deal with the box to drive away the ghost in front of him.

Besides, the train has already pulled into the station, and she absolutely will not make a deal with that damned thing herself unless she is completely desperate!
The next instant, the hand restraining her shoulder suddenly lost its strength, and the hand over her eyes slipped off.

Lu Jinzhao knew that Cen Duo's remaining consciousness and will to survive led her to make a deal with the box, and the box and the ghost began to fight for Cen Duo's body!

An opportunity. Lu Jinzhao suddenly broke free from the restraints on her shoulders. She could hear the train's roar approaching; it would arrive at the station and open its doors in no more than three minutes.

boom!
A sound of breaking glass came from outside. If Lu Jinzhao opened his eyes, he would find that it was the sound of a street lamp suddenly shattering.

All the lights went out at that moment, plunging the entire station area into darkness, as if it had been dragged into some terrifying realm. The only beam of light that broke through the darkness was the headlights of a black behemoth approaching from the distance on the railway tracks.

Accompanied by the rumble of the train, there was also the faint sound of Cen Duo behind me.

She was saying.
"save"

".save"

She was calling for help.

But Lu Jinzhao cannot save her.

It wasn't just that she couldn't do it, but that she had no intention of saving the person.

She took out the box, not to save Cen Duo.

She already knew from Lin Shuyue's fate that in this situation, with an uncontrollable transaction, Cen Duo was doomed.

But she already had no way to survive, so Lu Jinzhao did it without hesitation.

Sure enough, Cen Duo's voice disappeared completely in less than five seconds.

pat.

It was the familiar sound of a box falling to the ground.

Lu Jinzhao had an indescribable feeling in his heart. In Jiang Yingzhi and Lin Shuyue's descriptions, this box was a precious tool used for self-rescue.

But she used it to kill people and exorcise ghosts.

Lu Jinzhao picked up the box and only dared to slightly open her eyes when her gaze was completely fixed on the ground. With that one glance, she was startled.

This once somewhat worn-out wooden box has been transformed into something brand new.

"Is it because you ate two people in a short period of time?"

It's easy to imagine that those who received the wooden box in the past wouldn't have been as generous as Lu Jinzhao. Only one transaction could exist at a time, and others would use it to save themselves, so they would control the amount of transactions. But in Lu Jinzhao's hands, things got a bit out of control.

"Perhaps I can't let it continue to eat people."

As she was thinking this, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes, and Lu Jinzhao abruptly closed her eyes.

Time was running out. That ghost would probably be hovering in front of her all the time. The moment she opened her eyes, she might be staring into the ghost's eyes.

Lu Jinzhao could only run towards the train with his eyes tightly closed.

Fortunately, even though the train had stopped at the station, the sound it made was still loud enough for her to find her way.

just
As she ran toward the train, something got tangled around her ankle.

"...It's a strand of hair."

Lu Jinzhao immediately confirmed this in his heart.

Damn it, these ghosts, do they really not just watch living people run onto the bus right in front of them?

Not only did Lu Jinzhao hear faint meows, but he also smelled incense and candles.

The ghost has arrived.

Moreover, there was more than one ghost.

She dared not open her eyes, but she knew that many ghosts summoned by the ghost-seeing ritual had probably gathered around her.

Even though she was less than a minute away from the car door, it felt like there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

will die.

Never before had Lu Jinzhao been so certain.

Even if she didn't break the taboo, those possessed by the demon would still kill her, driven by the demon's murderous instinct.

She must get back to the car as soon as possible to have any chance of survival!
