Chapter 17 The lantern man dressed in retro style
From the information, it can be seen that Xu Zhou's life was not good.
A father who loves to gamble, loves to eat, and is lazy at work. Originally, his mother supported the family and worked hard to raise Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou was in high school at the time, and when she needed money, she had no choice but to work part-time, working day and night. The hard work destroyed her body and she died of illness.
After she left, Xu Zhou had no choice but to work part-time while going to school. In addition, his father who was a gambler asked him for money from time to time. In the end, he failed in the college entrance examination and was only admitted to an ordinary university.
Xu Zhou's mother has been dead for three years!
So who is Xu Zhou seeing now?
Are there really ghosts after death?
Although the Yigui Association is an organization that specializes in housing weirdos, the definition of weirdness in the Yigui Association is not the cognitive ghost.
When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, possessing all the memories and emotions he had during his life. If he has too much resentment and hurts others after death, he will become a ghost. This is the ordinary definition of a ghost.
As for weirdness, its formation is still unknown, but after long-term research, it is found that weirdness is not formed after death. It is more like a rule formed by nature, a brand new thing.
Ghosts can be killed.
However, only Weirdness can cause damage, and Weirdness will devour another Weirdness to increase its own strength.
There is also a kind of weird weapon that is contaminated with weird aura or fused with weird things.
Ji Wu has been working in the Alien Society for many years, and he has seen all kinds of strange, strange and terrifying things, but he has never heard of or seen ghosts.
Ji Wu felt very strange. Although he did not have a strange contract, his physique was that of a strange person. He could see strange auras that ordinary people could not see. In addition to being unable to determine the specific location of the strange, he could also see what the contract strange master could see. can see.
Why, this time Xu Zhou could see his mother, but Ji Wu couldn't see anything?
What are the differences between them?
Xu Zhou stared blankly at the bridge. His mother waved to him with a smile on her face, with relief and concern for him in her eyes.
Xu Zhou took another step forward.
Rationally, he was told that that couldn't be his mother, but emotionally, he was told that that was his mother!
The mother who cares about him and loves him!
Xu Zhou's eyes turned red.
He thought, since he was now a Contract Master, it wouldn't matter if he indulged a little, right?
"Mother!"
Xu Zhou rushed towards the bridge.
The speed was so fast that Ji Wu didn't even stop him.
"Xu Zhou! Don't go there!"
"Damn it!"
Ji Wu watched Xu Zhou rush into the bridge, his figure submerged in the white mist.
He turned on his phone and sent a text message to Bai Zuo, urging Bai Zuo to come as soon as possible.
Then he rushed in immediately.
Xu Zhou was too young and inexperienced, so Ji Wu was worried about letting him face the strangeness alone.
Crossing the boundary line of the bridge, Ji Wu felt that he had entered a white world.
There was nothing but fog around, and the visible range was only a few steps away.
Ji Wu had no choice but to keep moving forward based on his feelings.
He didn't know how long he had walked. He only felt that the distance he walked had far exceeded the length of a bridge, but the white mist still seemed to have no end in sight.
Was he really walking on the bridge?
Where does the end of this white mist lead to?
Ji Wu wiped the sweat from his face and stopped to take a few breaths. His physical strength had been systematically trained. Even after running five kilometers, he was not as tired as he was now. Besides, he had been walking fast in order to preserve his physical strength.
There's something wrong with this white mist!
And Xu Zhou, why haven’t you seen him after walking for so long?
Ji Wu propped up his knees, lowered his head and panted. His physical strength was exhausted so much that the white mist seemed to accelerate his physical loss, and this process was difficult to detect.
Ji Wu trains regularly and is very aware of his own physical strength. An ordinary person might be wandering around like a headless fly in this endless white mist.
Unconsciously, his energy was exhausted, and in the end he couldn't even move. He fell into the white mist and could never stand up again.
Ji Wu took out his cell phone again and tried to contact Xu Zhou.
The signal on the mobile phone is blank, and the calls made cannot be connected.
"Will it affect the signal's treacherous zone?"
Such strange places are very common, but Ji Wu is not sure whether this weird place is a strange place.
Because he didn't encounter any tricks.
Ji Wu rested for a while and when he wanted to continue walking forward to look for Xu Zhou, a clear ringing sound came from behind him.
It's like the sound of wind chimes that are hung somewhere and jingle when the wind blows.
Ji Wu turned around quickly, but his back was still completely white.
He squinted his eyes, and in the white mist, something seemed to be moving, coming this way.
Ding~Dingling~
In the white mist, at half a person's height, a red dot swayed towards this side.
The closer the distance got, the clearer Ji Wu could see.
It turned out that it was a lit lamp with several bells hanging on it. When the lamp was shaken, they made a crisp sound.
A bow-backed old man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat walked over slowly, holding a lamp.
He had white hair and wrinkles on his old face. When he saw Ji Wu standing by with empty hands, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Young man, why don't you light up the lamp while walking through the vagina?"
"You can't get out like this."
Ji Wu couldn't tell whether he was human or weird, so he stood silently without replying.
The old man was very considerate and did not ask him why he was here or where he was going. Instead, he said as he walked:
"Follow the old man and walk out quickly."
Ji Wu thought about it for a while. He continued to stay in the white mist, either walking until his energy was exhausted, or waiting for someone to find him.
There may be more than one space in this white mist. The space Xu Zhou entered may be different from the space Ji Wu entered, so Ji Wu never saw Xu Zhou.
After thinking about it, Ji Wu followed the old man silently. No matter what was waiting for him in front, it was better than being trapped in the white mist and being unable to do anything.
The red light just illuminated the surroundings of the two people.
The old man didn't speak either.
The two of them walked in the white mist.
This time, Ji Wu found that the speed of his physical loss was normal.
Ji Wu glanced at the lamp in the old man's hand. Could it be related to this lamp?
"Young man, we're here."
The old man stepped forward and disappeared from Ji Wu's eyes.
Ji Wu followed him and left Baiwu.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
Without the obstruction of the white mist, Ji Wu found that he had arrived in a brand new world.
Ji Wu looked back.
With the bridge as the boundary, the white fog shrouded the bridge. After crossing the bridge, the white fog disappeared.
The old man still held the lantern and walked forward unsteadily. On the road, he met many such people carrying lanterns.
There are men and women, old and young, and their clothes are different from those outside. Most of them wear ancient costumes, which are very similar to the clothes of the elderly.
