Vol 20 Chapter 38: : Ghosts and Shadows, Scarlet Road

The maple leaves fall like fire slowly with the evening breeze, floating around.
In the setting sun, the autumn scenery is extremely beautiful, but Brenner's mood is a little gloomy. This young girl in a red plaid shirt and jeans is holding a notebook to find and lock a big house by the road.
"Ring Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling"
It was an old-fashioned doorbell, and the dog inside the house roared.
"It's okay, Bron, it's okay." Accompanied by an old man's whispering comfort, the dog's growl gradually lowered, and then the door creaked and opened a gap. It was clear that there was only one outside the door. After the young girl, the old woman with short silver hair unchained the door and opened the door.
"Child, who are you looking for?"
"Well, I took the liberty to bother. I called before but never got through. Are you Mrs. Elise?"
"Yes."
"I, I was introduced by Ms. Kayla, and she told me that you are a very outstanding...er" The young girl with long brown hair seemed to have some bad words. Fortunately, the other party clearly understood it.
"Sorry, kid, I haven't been a psychic for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much anyway." Mrs. Elise stretched out her hand and stroked her hair back, and refused to speak.
"Uh... so, ah, I'm really sorry to bother you." He came hopefully, and the joy of finding the other party just came to his heart, and he was poured cold water on his head, Brenner's expression was suddenly sad.
"Come in and sit, passing through the Nobdelt Forest, but it's a long way. Although I can't help you much, it's good to come in and drink some coffee to warm up your body." Turning back into the house, the old man Say so.
"You!? How do you know that I walked through the Nobdelt Forest... Is this the ability of psychics?" Entering a somewhat gloomy, gothic style room, Brenner sat in a chair Some surprised words after coming up.
"No, it has nothing to do with psychics. It's just that the needles on your shoulders are not in this town. These cold-season leaves are the nesting leaves of the owl dragons in the Nobdelt Forest. Guess It's not very difficult to tell where you are from." During the conversation, the old woman delivered a coffee cup with the aroma to Brenner's face.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. There is still a lot of sadness in your eyebrows. If you don't mind, you can tell me. Although I haven't been in that business for a long time, the backlog of things in my heart will be easier if I can say it. "
"..."
"If you mind, forget it." Mrs. Elise raised her cup and took a sip.
"It was a year and a half ago, my mother passed away. She had cancer and was removed first, but then the virus spread to her lungs." As she said, tears like jade beads fell in large drops.
"She is a very good mother. She and all my friends get along well. She always tries to chat with me and communicate with me, but at that time I was always impatient..."
"Oh, poor child, she doesn't blame you, she never blames you. Children have difficulty communicating with their parents. This is a problem that every family will encounter."
"Thank you, ma'am." Taking the handkerchief handed over by the other party, Brenner tidied up his appearance, and then continued: "After my mother died, I can always feel that she is still by my side. When people are alone, sometimes things in the room move by themselves."
"Oh, maybe you think I'm crazy, but I think mom has something to say to me, I really really want to see her again."
Looking at the girl in front of her, Mrs. Elise only felt that her heart was throbbing, and she could deeply understand the pain of losing her beloved relative...because she had just lost her husband.
There was a long silence, just as Brenner was packing up and preparing to leave.
"Well, let's make an exception. I can also feel that there is a ghost wandering around you. She should have something to say to you." Rubbing her cheek with her palm, Mrs. Elise said. .
Brenner, the young girl opposite, looked surprised, and she began to flip her package.
"I have some money here, although not much"
"Take it back, boy. If I take your money, then I will enter the business again. I swear to myself that I will never use my abilities again. Not charging your money this time is a rim shot. Originally, we should go to the study below, but... forget it this time." Directly reached out and pressed the lamp next to him, because the windows of Mrs. Elise’s house were covered with thick curtains, so the lamp went out. The room was darkened.
"First of all, what is your mother's name?"
"Lily, her name is Lily."
"Very well. No matter what happens for a while, don't panic, because when you successfully summon a dead person, it's quite possible that all the dead have heard your call. So let's keep your voice down, just call Lily next to you appears." The old lady Elise is undoubtedly professional, a dark and mysterious space, a prelude to a sense of ritual, and that complicated and weird spell, when the old lady closes her eyes, it makes her melt into Entered another world, a nether world that mortals should not peek, touch, or enter.
"Lily, Lily... once again appeared next to this girl, she missed you, she missed you, and would like to be your support, let you appear again."
Along with the chanting of the spell, a cold feeling gradually enveloped Brenner's body from behind her. The surroundings became darker and darker, and the content of the old lady Elise's spell became more and more dark. Brenner felt intensely uneasy over time.
"No, no...I, I'm gone, I'm gone, let me go." Struggling to step back, Brenner found that the palm of the opponent's grasping his wrists was like iron tongs. In front of the girl with long black hair, the skin on Mrs. Elise's cheek fell off one by one. When she became a skinless evil spirit, her blood-colored eyes suddenly opened!
However, it wasn't until this moment that young girl Brenner really realized that it was not her own mother who had been wandering around and peeping at her after her mother died.
Forcibly breaking the boundaries of life and death, this is the greatest infatuation and long-cherished wish of mortals.
……………………
Nobdelt Forest, a bus full of laughter and music playing.
"What happens if we die in this world?" The silver-haired little Lori looked at the scenery outside the car window and whispered.
"Although you won't die, I suggest you don't do it. The strong is Hengqiang. This is the way of heaven. You forcibly die in the world of mental images and then bounce back to the real world. It seems that it will not hurt you much, but I suspect the loss. That part of the mental power is to extract your foundation, once or twice may be nothing, the more times, not only will the promotion potential be exhausted, but people will also go crazy." Sitting in the back of the bus relative to Yi Wen, Zhu Peng said this while flipping through a book with a red cover.
Ghost-shaped people have never been gentle mentors. If such a mental world is used well, the practitioners of the shadow mask can get a lot of advancement resources, but the total amount of "resources" is certain. If someone earns, someone will pay for it. The weak will feed on the strong, and the fittest will survive the fittest, but this is also in line with the disposition of ghosts.
"It's really troublesome, how long shall we stay in this world?"
"Rest assured, the time flow in this world is much faster than the outside world, and if you are attacked outside and encounter danger, you can still be forced to eject. Although you are in the Lionheart Fortress in Charlotte, it is unlikely that you will encounter any danger."
At this moment, the bearded driver who was listening to the stereo humming suddenly saw a fuzzy white shadow through the shining of the headlights. He frowned slightly and stretched his neck forward, but he saw that it was a slowly twisted head. The girl in white with a weird curve, her eyes are straight through people's hearts.
"Chichi"
The tires rubbed against the dirt in the forest fiercely, and the frightened old bearded driver forgot that he was not on an asphalt highway, but on a mountain trail.
The violent braking and side shifting suddenly made the entire bus unbalanced. The huge body of the bus was tipped and rolled laterally and sideways as if it was flying and smashed, and the fierce screams filled the bus with the stereo for a while. car.
"I knew it would be like this."
"Woo, you knew it would be like this?" After a long time, when the car stopped rolling, Zhu Peng got up from Yi Wen in the carriage.
At the moment when the accident happened, Zhu Peng, who had been flipping through the book, suddenly jumped up and pressed Yiwen with his body, and held the handles on both sides of Yiwen's seat with his elbows, and then no matter how the car was rolling. Regardless of the chaos in the middle of the world, he pressed his body tightly and pressed Yi Wen to the chair. When everything calmed down, Zhu Peng panted and supported his body.
"The wild goose left a voice, people die, and the instructor has dominated the world for so long. Of course, there will be some traces left. I advocate fair competition and extreme challenges, and the ghost-shaped man instructor prefers to use fear to force the potential of his disciples, even All the operating mechanisms and underlying logic in this world were constructed by him alone. It is not the usual style of the instructor not to encounter any horrible accidents for such a long way."
"That's true, the instructor is indeed such a style." The little blush made Yi Wen look at Zhu Peng and gasped.
I used an emergency hammer to break the glass and climbed and jumped out. In the process of distress, those who fixed themselves firmly in the seat often did not suffer any injuries. Unfortunately, more than 50 people in the car did this in only single digits. And the body crashed everywhere with the potential energy, really immortal and disabled.
The fat and bearded driver didn't wear a seat belt himself, and now he was lying on the steering wheel with his head bleeding, his eyes open but he was out of breath.
"Take care of the wounded and check if there is any leakage of gasoline. In addition, you can find your own phone and call the fire brigades in both towns, fuck, there happened to be an accident right in the middle of the road." A tough gray-haired uncle has something to do. Experience, in this case, there is nothing to come up with, Zhu Peng and Yi Wen also followed to help...According to the two people’s understanding of the mentor’s temperament, this matter is by no means over. I'm afraid the worse the death.
Someone called, someone dragged the surviving wounded out of the car, someone overhauled the overturned car. At this time, no one thought that such a car could start. The overhaul was only to prevent it from exploding.
Because Zhu Peng and Yi Wen looked relatively young, they were assigned the job of finding food and belongings by the tough uncle. This thing is also suitable for young people to do. Letting adults do it will be a violation of the law afterwards. .
To Zhu Peng's surprise, the call for help was actually opened when the fog was spreading around the wilderness.
But there said that it was late at night, and it would take at least six to eight hours to contact the equipment and rush to the place where the incident occurred. In other words, all the survivors would spend the night here.
"Very well, we only have 14 people. There will be a rescue team to rescue us tomorrow. So now everyone will take down the tires and burn them, and bake some food by the way. I don’t want people who didn’t die when the car rolls over and die because of a cold. Someone is crying, and some are moaning because of pain. People are indeed exhausted after half a night. Replenishing energy in time is indeed an excellent choice.
In the face of no matter how big the disaster is, no matter how terrible the dilemma is, when the stomach is filled with food, the strength is glowing, and everything seems to be no longer so difficult and intolerable.
Zhu Peng even found a pot in the car, lit the tires, poured mineral water into it, and then stirred and boiled it with various foods: ham, bread, instant noodles, they all came together and finally cooked a bunch of things that could not say what it was, but the aroma The soup spurted, eating and drinking, the taste from the taste buds was all sweet and mellow, and the body that was trembling with the cold night and mist became warm.
"Huh, I didn’t taste foie gras and caviar in a five-star restaurant...Mom!" After eating, a fat man in a suit cried. He survived purely because of his thick flesh. Plus, good luck. At this moment, his whole body was hurt, and even the opening of his forehead was leaking blood, but he didn't care about eating the soup he got, and after eating, he greedily looked at Zhu Peng. .
"Wait a minute and take care of those who are unable to move. This pot has not been cooked yet." Fourteen people who can move, plus more than ten severely injured survivors, a small pot is boiled once or twice. They can’t satisfy their stomachs, so Zhu Peng cooks one pot after another, using a broken iron plate as a rice spoon to stir. The soup box is enough. There is no iron or plastic, but instant noodles in barrels. The bucket is the same.
Zhu Peng cooks pot by pot, and stirs and processes pot by pot. After all, this body is not very strong, and the dripping sweat flows out under the double stimulation of flame and work.
Yi Wen frowned slightly, walked up to wipe the sweat from the upper cheeks of Zhu Peng, she whispered: "To these guys so much effort?"
"The fog outside is too thick. I always feel that there is something hidden in it. Helping them is helping ourselves. I know you have a magic ball around your waist. Nuxue also came in with you, but listen to me, Don’t take it lightly. Once we expose all the firepower, we will be attracted to us. Instead, following them, the two of us should be the least likely to die.
After talking about the heartfelt experience, Zhu Peng Put out a bowl of food for everyone to share.
The tough gray-haired uncle couldn’t see it anymore. He walked up and said,
Boy, you can rest for a while, and eat two bowls slowly. I’ll cook the next pot. Isn’t it just a mess? difficult."
It turns out that everything that seems simple is really not that easy in your hands.
The third pot of glutinous soup was obviously particularly unpalatable. Fortunately, with the bottom of the previous two pots, everyone was fuller. Swallowing this third bowl, everyone's spirits were also excited.
Zhu Peng and Yi Wen were wrapped in blankets, and fell asleep beside the burning fire among the people. Of course, Zhu Peng guarded in the middle of the night, and Yi Wen guarded in the second half of the night. Let these two give their lives to the people around them. Guardian, that is impossible.
One night later, Zhu Peng was awakened by the screams of extreme panic as an alarm clock. He stood up abruptly. Yi Wen on the side noticed a sharp dagger popping out of his right sleeve. After scanning the surroundings, he again Take it back like a viper with life.
"what happened?"
"I don't know, it was convenient for Hailie to go to the car just now, but suddenly."
"In other words, something went wrong." At this moment, everyone ran to the back of the car that screamed.
What I saw was Haili sitting on the ground, and she was crying and screaming while retreating. With her pointing, everyone's eyes moved to see that the fat man in the suit died tragically on the spot yesterday. He was cracked. , The internal organs in the chest were basically hollowed out, almost just a hole.
When everyone was at a loss, screams came from the other side. The tough middle-aged man headed by the crowd grabbed his head hard and seemed to feel like he was going crazy, but he still walked quickly after scratching his head. Running in the direction where the scream came from, Zhu Peng and Yi Wen looked at each other and chose to follow.
Now the whole camp is in chaos. It turned out that this morning, the women caring for more than a dozen seriously wounded people found that all the people around them were out of breath... More than a dozen people died overnight so inexplicably, their loved ones. , Friends' people are distraught, some of them even lose their minds to find the woman who takes care of them.
"You went to bed last night, and someone helped you take care of it all night. Now if something goes wrong, you will find someone to settle the account?"
"Michael is dead, Michael is dead. The murderer, the murderer must be among these women, otherwise everyone's injuries will get worse overnight. It doesn't make sense." The young man who was stopped by the tough uncle Lambert hissed Shouted, his name was Court, and the dead Michael was his brother.
"No matter who I am, there are all kinds of suspicions. It will not be long before the rescue team will come, and then the police will catch the murderer." Lambert said this while scanning everyone.
"Who do you think you are? Why do we listen to you?" It wasn't Young Court, but someone in the crowd called out.
"Why? Just rely on this." As he said, Lambert smashed a sphere. After the brilliance flickered, a very good-quality black mantis was suspended in the air.
As soon as Lambert's identity was revealed, everyone was in an uproar and then they were suppressed. In this world, the envoy represents power, and a demon envoy here represents the absolute violence to kill everyone.
At this moment, the camp was panicked and was suppressed or protected by Lambert's absolute violence.
……………………
"If Lambert is not the murderer, then he is doing the right thing. If you play against someone like the ghost-shaped man instructor, the more you are afraid, the worse you will lose in the end. However," Zhu Peng paused when he said this. For a moment.
"But what?"
"But he was wrong. The rescue team will never come, or there has never been a rescue team." After speaking, Zhu Peng handed over a mobile phone to Yi Wen. After Yi Wen took it, she clicked and opened the call. Record, the little face gradually became hard to look.
"Why, there is no record of calling for help at all?"
"The two guys who called are either ghosts or they were deceived by illusion. But since I can steal the phone from them, it means that the instructor's dark hand should not be on them, most likely the latter."
"Then what should I do now?" Looking at the surrounding fog, Yi Wen also felt the pressure from the bottom of her heart at this moment. She finally understood why Zhu Peng said that if she can survive the mental world, she can obtain resources and advance by leaps and bounds. This is simply a world of spy shadows dedicated to wizards under the God Eater system. Under the management of the ghost-shaped man instructor, if you don't want to go crazy, your strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds, or even if you advance by leaps and bounds, people are not far from being completely mad.
"Don't jump too much, don't show too much. Both of us have the lowest threats right now. Even if there are ghosts hidden around us, we will never be the first target. We are right behind Uncle Lambert, Wait, wait for that guy to pop up.
Zhu Peng said, throwing the phone to the side of the bushes.
After all, paper can't contain fire.
Uncle Lambert thought that after a few hours, the rescue team would come to take over and he would take over the responsibility. However, after waiting for two hours, no one came. After another hour, no one came. There were still 13 people in the camp. Gradually became a little confused.
"Call, urge, these government agencies are really horrible in efficiency." Lambert roared loudly, deliberately causing everyone's emotions to cause dissatisfaction with the government. If the negative emotions are vented, it will make everyone forget themselves. In the current situation, he himself came to a woman holding a phone and talked loudly. When the other party called, he grabbed the phone from the other party's hand.
Lambert raised his hand and saw that the phone was dead. However, it was not just him who was upset. The middle-aged woman with blonde hair and red lips also collapsed because she could see Lambert take away. Her own phone, but the voice explained in her ear, is still chattering and explaining...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) These two powers.
"Okay, okay, don't scream, don't scream, you should have been hit by some kind of dark magician's illusion, don't blame you, don't blame you." It was easy to comfort the broken woman, but there was no rescue team. The news of "has already spread among everyone, the color of fear spread on everyone's face, and the panic is brewing.
"Don’t look like that bear in TM, but it’s just a more powerful dark-type envoy. No matter how powerful the envoy is, don’t we humans occupy this world? Renault, let’s make some food for everyone. After eating, we will go to When you go outside, every servitor has its own hunting range. The more powerful the servitor, the more so. So as long as we get out of its hunting range, we will be fine." Lambert said in a big deal, he Intentionally build up confidence for everyone and ignite hope, otherwise I really don't know what kind of dark beasts these people who are completely desperate will turn into, then it really will be overwhelming.
Yesterday, I had to rest and sleep. Therefore, Zhu Peng made a mixture of miscellaneous grains for everyone to warm up and digest. Today, I have to travel a long distance. Therefore, Zhu Peng made baked sausages with bread slices and baked potatoes for everyone. .
The simpler the thing, the more it tests people’s cooking skills. Of course, with Zhu Peng’s method, giving him two eggplants can give him a fish-like aroma, so even for things like bread, sausages, and potatoes, He was still making pure fragrance, and the fragrance overflowed.
After eating and chewing, the remaining thirteen last survivors walked out of the foggy area carrying all the salutes they could collect.
"There is no need to walk through the Nobdelt Forest. As long as we leave the hunting area of ​​the dark envoy, we can call for help. I must ask my reporter friends to report everything here. A lot of powerful demon envoys are running here, I see how many days the dark envoy can be free." Lambert yelled loudly in front, and the atmosphere of the team was no longer so depressing and difficult following his words. suffer.
"Actually, are we going around in a circle?" Yi Wen leaned to Zhu Peng's side and whispered.
"Hush! When Lambert didn't know that he was leading us around? He couldn't go out, just pretending to be confident. The more aggressive we are, the more morale we are, and the longer we can delay. He should be Waiting for Ripkin Town to find an anomaly and find that the car hasn't arrived, and then dispatch a rescue team. This anger is indeed unstoppable, otherwise I really don't know what will happen."
While Zhu Peng and Yi Wen were whispering, on a hillside shrouded in thick fog in the distance, a huge black bear of alien species chewed up a human bone. All around it were all kinds of white bones, human and some. The shapes of beasts and even some bones are obviously magical.
This alien black bear has part of the characteristics of a lion and a tiger at the same time, and its body is surrounded by faint white energy... This alien beast can control the dead, just like the tiger spirit in the ancient Chinese legend controls the ghost, power And spirituality have reached a very high level.
Round after round, even if Zhu Peng and Yi Wen were consciously trying to deal with the aftermath, they were still discovered. Someone broke out at that time, took out a fruit knife and rushed towards Lambert with red eyes. , As a result, Lambert didn't use the envoy, and directly kicked the kid down, neatly.
"I really don't have any more recruits. Whoever of you is willing to continue to follow me, I also let you follow, whoever is like this kid, leave the team quickly, I saved others and made a mistake." No one left the team, the last name The young man named Court was abandoned by everyone. This is actually Lambert's new move: abandonment strategy.
After all, the dark envoy is only going to eat people, so removing some disobedients from the team and letting them fend for themselves can also delay the time for the dark envoy to finally see the poor. Now Lambert wants to live. Going down has some meaning to do everything.
"Assholes, assholes, that group of actually left me." With a nose and tears, Court ran around with a headless fly on his back, but what should come will come after all, when the tall furbolg appears. When in front of him, Court’s mental defense completely collapsed, and a lot of tears flowed from his eyes. Court raised his burden to his head to save his life, but the screams, bone cracks, and flesh tears still spread in the fog. Open, this dark enchantress killing is not only to satisfy the appetite, it can gain more powerful power in the killing.
About half an hour later, Lambert walked here again with eleven people, and saw Court, who had been torn apart and eaten to an inhuman appearance.
Lambert stepped forward with a solemn expression and opened Court’s package with his feet. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com found that neither meat nor canned food had moved. It was not just not eating these, the darkness made the demon only eat it. For the most delicate internal organs, it did not even take away most of the meat. This is no longer a mere beast hunting habit.
"How about it, can you win?"
"It's ridiculous. Look at this posture. Even if you and I do your best, this Lambert will have to do your best to have a 20 to 30% chance of winning. The problem is that Lambert has lost his courage, and he is obviously scared. , Just with you and me, it’s hard to run in this situation.
Zhu Peng’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at the marks on the ground from being hit by a huge force, and at the torn apart body of Court’s body. Put all the information into the eyes, calculating and calculating.
The development of the situation afterwards also proved Zhu Peng’s judgment from the side. Lambert became more and more anxious, and gradually there were people in the team who could not keep up. Gradually everyone understood what Lambert meant, and that name was abandoned. The woman was thrown farther and farther, and then Lambert gradually slowed down... Now it has become a quiet walking competition to compete who can survive the last, with the bones of a weak person to increase the lives of others The opportunity to go down, but one step ahead of physical fitness, is the burden of the heart.
"Aren't you a magician? You watched these people die one by one?" A man shouted at Lambert hoarsely. However, in front of everyone, this tough uncle, who had always been very tough, had no face. expression.
"I don't want to continue to follow me. I don't want to force you." It's hard to say that Lambert's approach is wrong. Do you know that you can't meet him and die?
