Chapter 253 Heredity (59)

Is she still alive?

Lu Jinzhao glanced at Luo Yu subtly, while Luo Yu was also looking at her. They exchanged glances and both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

Bai Pei was unaware of what had happened before, and her first reaction upon seeing her teammates still alive was joy.

It's always good to have one more person.

However, she still briefly checked the aura of the person in front of her. She had an item that could confirm hallucinations and supernatural phenomena. After confirming that she was not under any hallucination and that the woman in front of her had indeed been attacked by a ghost because of her talking, Bai Pei felt relieved and began to communicate with her.

Of course, we can only communicate by typing.

Many of them actually know some sign language, especially the top-level sign language users, almost all of them have learned sign language, but she doesn't know the person in front of her, so just in case, she'll type first.

After briefly explaining the situation, the woman in front of me was pale, looked terrified, and her breathing was somewhat unsteady, as if she had experienced something before.

She no longer looked like a corpse. At least, standing next to Lu Jinzhao, she looked more like a living person than Lu Jinzhao was now. But it was also clear that she was injured, as she could barely walk.

Lu Jinzhao's gaze quietly fell on her arm, where a new task had been assigned.

It was really unexpected.
However, with a new mission, it was confirmed that she was indeed a passenger.

What happened before that?

Fate? Supernatural objects?
Is it used to avoid the tasks and potential dangers that need to be performed before, and to wake up only during the last task?
Lu Jinzhao only thought about it briefly, without delving too deeply into the matter. There were simply too many things to pay attention to right now. Since this woman already had a mission, it wouldn't be good to send her away and leave her alone.

Tick
Tick
Tick
It is the sound of time slowly passing by.

An hour is neither a long nor a short time, especially in this context.

Less than 20 minutes have passed so far.

A sense of anxiety began to creep into Lu Jinzhao's heart.

She hoped the misfortune would come quickly, or at least be worn off before the train arrived.

Otherwise, if the misfortune strikes just as you're about to get back on the bus, and something happens that delays your boarding, then you're doomed.

The fog grew thicker, and the muddy ground beneath the passengers' feet seemed to become damp, as if groundwater had seeped out. The soles of their shoes began to stick to the mud, and each step became heavier and more difficult.

No one spoke; everyone was on high alert for the potential danger.

In the silence, Lu Jinzhao could only hear the sound of his shoes scraping against the ground and the sound of his blood flowing through his body.

Perhaps she shouldn't have heard the latter; could a normal person hear that?
But ever since the ghost blood entered her body, whenever the surrounding environment became quiet, or when she was under high tension, she could always hear the sound of blood flowing. In reality, however, her heartbeat was extremely slow, and her heart's pumping ability should not be sufficient to support such a fast blood flow.

It's probably the work of ghost blood.

The fog has gotten thicker.

They began to have difficulty seeing the road more than five meters ahead, and they needed to be more careful to determine whether they were walking in the right direction.

It's too quiet.

It was so quiet that you could hear everyone else breathing.

It was so quiet that when something unusual happened, the buzzing in my brain sounded like deafening drums.

At first, Lu Jinzhao didn't notice the chilling aura clinging to her exposed skin, much like the surrounding fog.

But the next second, her body suddenly shivered without warning. She didn't feel cold at all, and her body temperature was much lower than the current air temperature.

But her nerves, her brain, or her subconscious, felt a chill, an ominous premonition suddenly surging into her body.

Her nerves tensed instantly, and the buzzing in her mind, the sound of being startled by a sudden tap on the shoulder while lost in thought, snapped her back to reality.

In that instant, Lu Jinzhao realized: misfortune had befallen them.

She didn't stop walking, and her expression didn't change at all. She only gently touched Tian Lei's hand with her fingers, but she didn't say anything or make eye contact with her.

They had already developed a basic understanding, and this little reminder was enough. Tian Lei understood her meaning, showing no abnormality, but becoming even more vigilant. In fact, a certain supernatural object tightly clutched in her pocket had already activated at this moment, even though nothing had happened yet.

But, just a few blinks after Lu Jinzhao lightly touched the back of her hand, as if a scene in a movie had been edited and transitioned, even though she didn't blink or look away, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was as if it had been sliced ​​off; no one sensed its movement beforehand, and there was no way to prevent it. In just an instant, it appeared in everyone's sight.

A red figure.

When a red ghostly figure appears in your line of sight, you must look directly at her until blood flows from her eyes.

coming.

The ghost appeared just five seconds after the misfortune struck.

The sound of wind chimes rang out in the thick fog, and Lu Jinzhao immediately made the response he had prepared in advance.

The shadow puppet emerged from her shoulder. [Lu Jinzhao] stared at the ghostly figure. The moment the shadow puppet's painted eyes met the red ghostly figure, its ink-painted eyes began to tremble. The pupils, painted with only a drop of ink, rolled upwards uncontrollably, as if trying to roll the pupils completely into the eyelids, leaving only the whites of the eyes in their sockets.

If it were to succeed, without the eyeballs and the ability to see, the requirement of "direct gaze" would certainly not be met.

However, the shadow puppet "Lu Jinzhao" is different from other shadow puppets because one of its "materials" is ghost bones.

The materials are of the highest grade, enough to make it its strongest shadow puppet, capable of withstanding a single red ghost shadow attack.

Lu Jinzhao could feel that finger bone was slightly hot. After about half a minute, finally, red blood slowly flowed from Lu Jinzhao's eye socket, and the ghostly figure in front of him gradually disappeared into the thick fog.

The moment the ghostly figure completely disappeared, Lu Jinzhao heard the slightly relieved breathing of the people beside him.

Her knuckles trembled slightly, and a dull pain rose in her bones. Fortunately, she was not injured. Hiding her abnormality, Lu Jinzhao turned her head to look at the people around her. Most of them had a line of bloody tears on their cheeks.

It seems that the ghost doesn't target just one person, but rather affects all passengers within range when it appears.

Lu Jinzhao knew in his heart that the appearance of the red ghost was mostly due to his misfortune.

The mere sight of a ghostly figure had consumed most of the time of misfortune, yet Lu Jinzhao did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Summoning the ghost was expected; she even thought the ghost would appear along with the name, but now it was just the ghost, which seemed too easy!

Where else is bad luck at work?
Just as she was thinking this, suddenly, it was as if something went blank. Lu Jinzhao's left calf suddenly lost all feeling, and she was caught off guard and knelt on one knee.

Everything happened so suddenly that she only realized she had fallen after she had already lost her balance.

It didn't hurt, I didn't feel anything, it was as if a piece of my body was missing out of nowhere.

But her left calf was still intact, without any external injury.

Her knee hit the ground with a loud thud, catching her completely off guard. The people around her looked at her with surprise, then glanced around warily.

But Lu Jinzhao felt completely bewildered, with a hint of horror mixed in with his bewilderment.

She didn't know what happened.

Her body is no longer the same as a normal person's; she doesn't experience numbness for no reason. But this is no longer numbness; it's as if her calves, which were originally there, have disappeared.

Lu Jinzhao was certain that something must have just happened, but the wind chimes at her waist didn't ring.

Suddenly, the sheepskin appeared.

【Chao Chao, so pitiful.】

[You don't know what happened, right?]

Let's make a deal. I can tell you everything, and I can also help you leave here alive.

Otherwise, next time, it might be that thing that disappears.

[Your brain.]

This instance will be completed this month, it'll be over soon!
