1TWITF[C Chapter 46

Chapter 46

The taste of incense ash was extremely unpleasant. Mixed with cold rice, the texture was disgusting, and the meaning behind the game made them unable to stop their imaginations from running wild.

Really… would they see ghosts?

Shi Yan desperately concealed her abnormality, pretending to be nonchalant, and avoided making eye contact with those strange things.

In many horror stories, once the protagonist can see ghosts, he will also be perceived by the ghosts, thus attracting certain supernatural entities. Shi Yan was now in this situation, and she didn’t want to be noticed.

The feeling on their bodies grew colder and colder. Even wearing thick clothes didn’t help. The chill seemed to be seeping out from the cracks in their bones, making them shiver.

The ghosts… were coming.

At the ends of the roads in all directions of the intersection, several shadows appeared, blurry and unclear. In the eyes of the three people, their bodies were semi-transparent, and from a distance, they could discern that their bodies were somewhat incomplete.

Intersections are prone to traffic accidents and are known as one of the places with the heaviest Yin energy. Some ghost summoning methods involve continuously knocking on bowls at night at intersections, which is said to attract wandering ghosts. Not to mention eating dead people’s food at the Yin-Míng Road intersection. Now it seemed that the power of summoning ghosts was greater than they had imagined.

The dead people’s food, which was difficult for living people to swallow, smelled like a rare delicacy to the hungry ghosts. They ate too quickly to complete the task early, and when the hungry ghosts came following the scent, the bowls were already empty.

Instantly, the hungry ghosts’ gazes shifted from the dead people’s food to the few living people.

“Hurry up! Is it not ready yet?” Shi Yan desperately retreated, trying to avoid the seemingly light and floating hands reaching out towards her, while screaming.

When the ghost shadows first appeared at the street entrance, Nie Yunzhen had already scooped out two spoonfuls of rice from the thermos into a bowl and inserted three incense sticks. Now, the three incense sticks were still burning slowly, with some incense ash falling into the bowl, a grayish-white patch.

“It’s not ready yet, just bear with it.” A small half of the incense remained unburned. Nie Yunzhen directly lit a lighter and kept burning it, hoping to make the tip burn faster.

But these three incense sticks seemed to be Condensation by the surrounding cold and humid air, and the speed of turning into ash was extremely slow.

“So hungry…”

A cold, hoarse sigh sounded in Shi Yan’s ear.

It was like flipping a switch, one after another. Unknowingly, the blurry ghost shadows had completely surrounded them in the center of the intersection. A faint mist floated around the four, making it impossible to see the scene outside.

Surrounded by a crowd of ghosts, it was hard not to feel fear.

“When ghosts are extremely hungry, they may not patiently wait any longer,” Lu Yanli said quietly.

Shi Yan and Chu Xiu were just as embarrassed as he was, but they didn’t dare stop their dodging steps, lest they get hurt. Once they bled, their food would not only be this bowl of dead people’s food.

“So hungry…”

“I… I’m so hungry…”

One or two sighs became louder and louder, layering on top of each other in a circle, and the constant cries merged into one.

“Hungry…”

“Ah—” The next second, Nie Yunzhen let out a scream, then desperately held it back, his forehead covered in sweat from the pain.

His hand was bitten hard by a ghost resembling a child, directly biting off a piece of flesh. The intense pain caused him to lose his grip on the bowl, which fell down and was caught by Lu Yanli.

Also falling into the bowl was blood spurting from the wound.

The three incense sticks burned to the very bottom, and the last bit of gray powder fell down.

“Run!” Chu Xiu whispered, snatched the bowl from the other person’s hand, and put it on the ground. Ignoring the fierce ghosts that surged up in an instant, the four rushed out together.

Without looking much, the four quickly got into the car. Nie Yunzhen’s hand had been bitten off a piece of flesh and couldn’t drive, so Chu Xiu sat in the driver’s seat and stepped on the accelerator almost to the end. In the dark night, they rushed out almost recklessly.

No one knew how long that bowl of rice could last, but so many ghosts had come. If they finished eating and came back to look for them, the consequences would be disastrous.

Nie Yunzhen sat in the back seat, and Shi Yan wrapped a few circles of gauze around his wound. He held back from crying out in pain, and sweat dripped from his forehead. He said with Have fun in suffering: “Fortunately, we brought enough materials just now, otherwise we really wouldn’t have been able to get out.”

Chu Xiu also sighed: “Don’t forget our mission tomorrow.”

The location of tomorrow’s mission was still on Yin-Míng Road.

In one day, who knew if these ghosts would leave?

Seemingly aware of Chu Xiu’s gaze through the mirror, Shi Yan stared straight into the mirror.

Suddenly, she showed a ghostly smile.

Chu Xiu slammed on the brakes and looked back suddenly, his scalp tingling.

Where were the shadows of a man and a woman in the back seat? In just a few seconds, the two had disappeared without a trace.

It’s a ghost!

When Chu Xiu turned back again, Lu Yanli, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also gone. Only he was left in the car.

But looking back from the mirror, the other three were still there, and he could still hear Lu Yanli asking: “What’s wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?”

Chu Xiu gritted his teeth and continued to drive forward. He had made full preparations. Once he reached the edge of the city, he would get out of the car and run. It was too desolate here. If he rashly got out of the car, he might not be able to go back alive.

*

The vehicle was almost at its highest speed, rushing out like lightning, but soon things took a strange turn. The vehicle’s forward route suddenly became strange, and wave lines were drawn on the long straight road.

Damn it! Something happened to Chu Xiu!

Lu Yanli immediately leaned over to snatch the steering wheel. The speeding vehicle almost crashed into a tree at the corner because of his action, and then the steering wheel was slammed, almost Rub.

“What’s wrong? What happened to Brother Chu?” Shi Yan didn’t pay attention to what had happened before. Seeing Lu Yanli snatch the steering wheel, she hurriedly asked. Immediately, she understood what was going on.

Chu Xiu’s head was tilted to one side. If he hadn’t been wearing a seat belt, he would have fallen down. Even so, the people in the car were not doing any better. His foot was stepping on the accelerator, and he couldn’t move it away for a while. The speed of the vehicle was getting faster and faster, almost running at the speed of a racing car.

What responded to them was the gradually rising speed and the suddenly changing scenery outside the window.

The three people’s eyes went dark, and the scene in front of them changed violently. In just an instant, when they opened their eyes again, what surprised them was that they had actually returned to a few hundred meters near the intersection, speeding towards the intersection.

“What’s going on?!” Shi Yan and Nie Yunzhen couldn’t believe their eyes. The vehicles were driving too fast, and the opposite car had turned on the high beams, and the light was particularly dazzling. Just a few glances at the scene were enough to shock them.

“Brake! Please!”

Little did they know that Lu Yanli was also shocked. He kicked Chu Xiu’s foot off the accelerator with a force that could almost break the other person’s leg, and slammed on the brakes himself, but the brakes seemed to have failed at this time, and the speed increased instead of decreasing.

“The brakes have failed.”

Lu Yanli’s answer made Nie Yunzhen anxious. He tried to lean his upper body forward to help, but Chu Xiu, who had opened his eyes and passed out, firmly blocked his way. A bump along the way shook him back again.

In just a few seconds, the distance between the four cars quickly narrowed a lot, and it looked like they were about to crash!

Crashing at this speed would result in death or injury.

What they didn’t see was that under the car, a pale figure was clinging to the chassis. This was the culprit that caused the brake failure.

In the moment of Pass by, they saw the passengers on the other car.

In the seats… were four neatly arranged skeletons!

Fortunately, after they turned, the car body was severely damaged, but there was no other major problem.

It wasn’t until now that Lu Yanli breathed a sigh of relief.

His guess was right.

Nie Yunzhen also gasped for breath. He had bumped his head several times during the just now bumps. He thought that this time he would have to peel off a layer of skin if he didn’t die, but the car actually disappeared when it was about to hit them?

“You, how did you do it?” He was still in shock.
