Is it allowed to get off the bus?
Li Mo raised his head and took a look at the environment outside the car. The ghost bus had already reached the junction between the suburbs and the city, and more and more people began to gather.
There were many passengers waiting for the bus at the platform, and Li Mo could even see vendors setting up stalls.
But shouldn't one be isolated from reality once in a car? Was there something wrong with his reasoning again?
Li Mo was puzzled.
"Forget it, it's at least a good thing to see a living person." Li Mo said softly, and after two seconds, "Probably..."
The ghost bus drove through a few more stops and arrived in the city. People's voices began to become noisy, and the scene outside the bus was bustling.
Ghost buses are no different from normal buses and are responsible for transporting passengers to their designated destinations.
But no one seemed to look over. Except for a few people who triggered the pattern and could see the ghost bus, everyone else completely ignored the ghost bus.
On the road, people will not stop even if the ghost bus is running fast.
Apart from these seemingly meaningless signs.
So far, Li Mo has not found any clues related to the "ritual" and Ling.
"...It's cold. Is the air conditioner on that low?"
Li Mo shrank his body, looked up at the device that blew out cold air, and reached out to turn it off.
However, the expected abatement of the cold did not come, and instead the limbs began to become stiff, as if they were exposed to ice and snow without wearing any clothes.
Li Mo was still confused. His right hand grabbed something uncontrollably and was dragged by the object in his hand and swung forward.
"What... happened?"
Li Mo looked at the demon sword Akazen Sakura that suddenly appeared, and the rotten flesh in front of him that was chopped in half, with each half lying on the ground twisted and deformed.
He froze in place, his brain unable to react for a moment.
Shouldn't this thing be kept at home? Why is it in my hands?
The demon sword, Akazake Sakura, was Beichen's weapon. Ever since Beichen fell ill, he had never used it again, and the weapon had been sealed in a storage cabinet at home.
Specializes in fighting ghosts.
There was a price to pay for holding it, so Li Mo was very sensible and stayed away from it, never picking it up out of curiosity.
Now, the sudden appearance of the demon sword gradually made Li Mo's hazy cognition clear.
Chapter 56: Chi Ranying only needs to kill, kill, kill, but Li Mo has more to consider
Li Mo slowly raised his head and found that the people in the car no longer looked as lively as before. The strange photos in the file came true. The ghost bus revealed its true face. There were no living people in the car, only ghosts, floating on the roof, turning their heads to look down at him.
"Well……"
Almost instantly, Li Mo almost couldn't hold back the acid reflux, his throat felt abnormal, and vomit crowded in his mouth.
A strong stench filled the small carriage, and the originally bright carriage became dim and damp.
The carriage was overgrown with weeds and the car body was tattered, revealing the rusty mechanical parts inside.
Do you want to jump out?
Li Mo glanced at the broken car window. Jumping down was an option, but it would disrupt the existing situation.
"No... This situation can't get any worse."
Li Mo acted decisively and jumped out of the car window. The moment he landed on the ground, he was completely stunned.
This is Changkong City, but it is no longer the Changkong City that Li Mo is familiar with.
The outline of the city is looming in the dim twilight, lying quietly in the endless dust.
The death knell tolled, and the tallest bell tower of civilization echoed above the city with the wail of the end of the world.
A deadly cold wind howled through the empty streets, stirring up clouds of dust. From the ruins of distant buildings, occasional muffled sounds could be heard before disappearing into the vast black fog.
Houses collapsed, roads were damaged, and countless vegetation emerged from the ground, spreading to the deserted streets and alleys.
Li Mo just glanced at it and turned to focus on the ghost bus behind him.
"I didn't get off the car...why? I've already triggered the ghost's killing pattern."
Li Mo had just raised the question when his heart started beating abnormally the next second.
"Plop! Plop! Plop!"
The heart beat rapidly at first, three beats per second, far exceeding the normal heart rate.
But after a few seconds, the frequency of beating became two times per second.
"Puff! Puff!"
"Pfft!"
By the time Li Mo reacted, his heartbeat had dropped to once a second and was becoming increasingly slower.
"what happened?"
Li Mo was confused and hadn't figured out what was going on. He could only tightly grasp the demon sword that suddenly appeared in his hand.
In the dream, the sword and Sakura were always together, never leaving her body. Even at night, when the two of them were together, the sword acted as a lamp on the side of the bed, emitting a faint pink cherry light.
Whatever you gain, you must take.
But since they are Ying and Beichen's weapons, then I... can more or less take advantage of them.
Li Mo took a deep breath. He was ready to pay the price, but he hoped that the price would not be too high.
At least hold on until he finds Ling...
“Puff…tong.”
His heartbeat became slower and slower. Li Mo placed his left hand on his chest, which remained still for several seconds.
My head feels dizzy.
"Well!……"
Li Mo half-knelt on the ground, almost losing consciousness and dropping the magic sword in his hand.
The blood flows slowly, the brain becomes dull, and the body gradually becomes cold.
"I... understand." Li Mo stood up with difficulty and realized his current situation.
Although the ghost bus will kill the person who triggers the pattern, it also has the function of isolation.
When you are in the car, you won't trigger the patterns of ghosts outside the car.
Once you get out of the car, there will be more ghosts outside. Any behavior may trigger a pattern and cause ghosts to target you. Even the ghosts in the car are no exception. The patterns outside will attack indiscriminately, regardless of whether the opponent is a human or a ghost.
Of course, these are just inferences. It is also possible that the ghosts on the bus cannot leave the ghost bus. Everything requires evidence, but he doesn't have time to find evidence.
The most urgent task is to find a way to break the deadlock.
Li Mo tried hard to recall what he had just done. He jumped out of the window, got off the bus, then stood there and looked back at the ghost bus. He did nothing else.
But he still triggered a certain killing pattern. Based on the abnormal heartbeat frequency, Li Mo could only think that... the pattern would be triggered when the ghost heard the heartbeat.
The heart rate will gradually slow down, decreasing by a certain amount every once in a while until the heart stops.
“Puff… … … …”
The heart expands but contracts slowly, the brain lacks blood supply and is almost fainting.
Fortunately, adrenaline kept him going, and Li Mo squinted his eyes with difficulty, searching around with blurred vision for any clues.
There are currently only two ways to avoid death:
One is to find a way to stay alive even if the heart stops beating, but for a living person like me, this is simply a fantasy.
Having your heart stop in this deserted place is no different from death.
Then there's only one way left: find the ghost and kill it using the magic sword's rules...
"Where..."
After saying this, Li Mo's eyes went dark and he completely lost his vision.
"Plop!" He fell to the ground with a sound, his heart still beating, but it had not yet reached the second contraction.
He was still alive, but dying.
If you can't find the ghost, death is only a matter of time.
"..."
"..."
"Help me, Sakura."
Li Mo used his last bit of strength to read out Ying's name. In an instant, the eyes on the red-stained Ying sword suddenly opened, and the blood-red eyes turned like gears.
Unlike gears, the eyeballs were like mud that was constantly squeezed, twisting in an extremely strange shape.
Finally, the eyes focused on the sunny doll above Li Mo's head, which was not connected to any external objects.
The next second, blood appeared.
All that was left of the Sunny Doll was its head, bleeding and tearing, with nothing below its neck, as its body had been abruptly severed.
"Plop...Plop..."
The heartbeat gradually recovered, and Li Mo once again felt the feedback from his five senses.
He supported himself on the ground with both hands and struggled to stand up.
Next to him was a sunny doll bleeding black blood. The black and red blood soaked the pure white cloth. When he sniffed it gently, he could smell a very strong and pungent fishy smell.
He looked back and saw the ghost on the ghost bus still staring at him.
Fortunately, the guess should be correct. The ghosts cannot get out of the car, or they are afraid of something outside the car.
Li Mo turned his gaze back to the red-stained cherry blossom. Its strange shape made people feel extremely safe and warm.
"Thank you." Li Mo called softly, gripping the hilt of the knife tightly, and moving forward along the broken road.
Demon Sword: Red-dyed Sakura——
Sakura leaned against the village wall and pointed her blade at the countless sunny dolls in the sky.
She knew very well that in this twisted world.
Either she kills them or she is killed; there is no possibility of coexistence.
It was just like when she first came to this world and encountered those human-eating animals.
This world does not allow any more living things to exist.
"..."
"..."
----
----
Li Mo held the magic sword and moved forward cautiously. The city collapsed badly, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, blocking the way forward.
Li Mo clumsily climbed over obstacle after obstacle. At some point, the sky suddenly darkened.
It quickly turned from bright day to dusk.
"Again... Sakura, I'm counting on you."
Li Mo was well aware that with his swordsmanship and reaction, he would not have enough time to deal with the sudden danger, so he could only let the magic sword move his body.
All he had to do was hold the hilt tightly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Ranying suddenly pounced into the sky, turned around again, dragged Li Mo's back, and inserted into the shrinking shadow behind him.
"Shadow?" Li Mo was still confused, but the next second, black blood began to flow out of Shadow's wound.
"What's going on? Can a shadow be a ghost?"
Li Mo frowned, pulled out the red-dyed cherry, and stabbed it a few more times.
It was no coincidence that black blood flowed from several wounds.
