Chapter 413 [Domain·Drowning] Four Ghosts Surround and Blockade
A chill ran straight up to Chen Ji's back!
Chen Ji's mind raced. The ghost that had successfully replaced him had a very clear purpose: it wouldn't act easily unless its true intentions were discovered.
Because it has completely incorporated Li Yinghe herself.
It is very likely that this ghost believes that as long as it can truly replace Li Yinghe, it can use this new identity to escape back to reality.
Therefore, it did not take action, but instead directly exposed the other ghost disguised as Li Yinghe.
I just don't know if this ghost is wearing a baseball jersey or a blue jacket...
To be honest, this ghost is almost perfect. It carries Li Yinghe's strange objects, and even has a clear memory of Li Yinghe. Its behavior logic is flawless.
However, Chen Ji still noticed a slight oversight.
That's her attitude towards boys!
She initially acted quite convincingly, showing suspicion towards Chen Ji and Wan Xiaoshuang, but being completely unguarded when facing Tong Zi.
Chen Ji asked himself, if he were Li Yinghe, deceived by a ghost disguised as a child, and upon returning, found another version of himself with the child, while also knowing that Zhu Guang had been inexplicably harmed.
He certainly wouldn't just say that right away:
"Boy, run!"
Your first reaction might be, "Don't you think that both the child and your other self could be ghosts?"
After all, there were eight ghosts in the tour group!
This clearly shows that "Li Yinghe" subconsciously knew that the child was human.
When Chen Ji first met the boy, he wanted to test him first, but he was interrupted by "Li Yinghe".
But the real irrefutable evidence was the small note that Tongzi slipped to Zhu Guang in the room where he was murdered.
The handwriting was messy, and the force of the strokes was so heavy that they seemed to tear the paper. I wonder what the boy was thinking when he wrote these words.
Li Yinghe is a ghost.
The artifact will not go dormant until the price of the "Mirror Image" has been paid, unless the holder dies.
I've calculated it.
【She is dead.】
Help me find her body...
Therefore, after entering the forest, the three of them began to cooperate tacitly, just to confirm the original location of Li Yinghe's death.
If this ghost can replace Li Yinghe, it must be the ghost that killed her, because only it knows where Li Yinghe's body is.
After confirming that they were near the old cedar tree, Tongzi and Wan Xiaoshuang, at Chen Ji's prompting, fled first.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Ji ran straight down the slope. Their agreed meeting place was on the bank of the Jiagu River, where Wan Chengzhong should also be.
The sound of trees snapping came from afar behind him; the ghost was still looking for Chen Ji!
One was behind me, one was nowhere to be found, and there was also a ghost in a yellow hoodie.
Yellow hoodie, baseball jersey, blue jacket; these three are a team that conspired to harm Li Yinghe...
Just then, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from ahead.
People were running near the riverbank!
Chen Ji moved with incredible speed, nimbly leaping across the pool. He spotted a small flashlight lying in a pile of decaying leaves under the tangled branches on the bank, emitting a faint light.
Two figures flashed past!
It turned out to be a woman in a gray dress and a man in sportswear. How did these two ghosts end up in the forest?
Who attracted them?
.....
Behind a tree on the riverbank.
The rain had already stopped.
Wan Xiaoshuang curled up, trying her best to hide her body.
They were actually not far from Chen Ji, and they too saw two female ghosts, but the difference was...
Tongzi and Wan Xiaoshuang escaped here while being driven away by another ghost!
In the tour group, there's the one disguised as Teacher Zhan, who seduces Huang Ying... the guy in the yellow hoodie.
The two female ghosts and the man in the yellow hoodie were likely enemies. After entering this area, the man in the yellow hoodie slowed down, giving them a chance to escape.
Gently stroking her slightly burning chest, Wan Xiaoshuang could feel that the seal there was about to be completely broken.
This means that she will soon be able to use her A-level trick.
"Wan Chengzhong has been here before."
The flashlight didn't belong to them. Wan Xiaoshuang whispered in the boy's ear, "He probably attracted the two female ghosts too."
The boy nodded slightly.
Wan Xiaoshuang's expression was complicated. In just a few hours, Tongzi had lost two teammates. It was hard to imagine what he was feeling at this moment.
She had already realized that the boy was the most capable of the three, wielding the A-rank ghost, and was probably just like herself, waiting to open the Netherworld.
In the past, it was mostly children who led Zhu Guangli and Yinghe through the realms.
But that's how cruel the domain is.
No one can guarantee they can always control everything, or that their teammates will always survive, especially in high-difficulty areas...
Even self-preservation is difficult.
Thinking of this, Wan Xiaoshuang glanced around, wondering if Chen Ji had arrived yet.
It was only recently, when Chen Ji deliberately misrepresented the side effects of Wan Chengzhong's strange object, that she realized there might be a problem with "Li Yinghe".
Thus, we can deduce the boy's purpose.
Without much discussion, a few glances were enough for Wan Xiaoshuang to understand that Chen Ji wanted her and Tongzi to leave first.
This way, we can minimize the possibility that "Li Yinghe" will become suspicious.
She knew Chen Ji would definitely escape, but time was ticking away, and once Wan Chengzhong reached the Jiagu River, he would immediately carry out the substitution.
Until then...
I wonder what will happen.
Wan Xiaoshuang frowned. Chen Ji had to live; his Netherworld was an indispensable part of her plan.
A chilly, damp breeze drifted in.
Not far away, the sound of splashing water could be heard.
The boy raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. He made a "shh" gesture, and the sound of splashing water was chaotic and disorderly, clearly belonging to the two female ghosts.
The two held their breath and listened intently as the ghost's movements gradually approached them, then stopped.
After a while, the ghost seemed not to have noticed anything unusual, and the footsteps gradually moved in another direction.
Wan Xiaoshuang hid behind a tree, carefully listening to the footsteps receding into the distance. Suddenly, a very faint sound of wind breaking through the silent forest rang out.
brush!
The next second, a rock hit the tree where they were hiding.
It slammed into the tree trunk with a loud thud!
The boy's eyes sharpened, and he immediately peeked out to look in the direction from which the stone had been thrown.
Two wet figures came into view.
It was the two female ghosts who were drawn to the commotion and slowly turned around. However, behind them, another blurry figure was silently darting away.
Damn it, that's Wan Chengzhong!
He has been hiding in this area all along, and it is very likely that he knows where Wan Xiaoshuang and Tongzi are hiding.
Seeing that he was about to be caught by the ghost, Wan Chengzhong tried to shift the blame and escape during this opportunity!
A dark glint flashed in the boy's eyes. Without saying a word, he and Wan Xiaoshuang took off running.
As if on the same wavelength, the two did not blindly flee, but instead tried to approach from the side and lead the ghost towards Wan Chengzhong's direction.
However......
Just then, the boy's scalp suddenly tingled.
Something was watching him.
They were staring at the top of his head.
At that moment, Wan Xiaoshuang, who was standing next to him, also suddenly looked up and looked at the tree canopy in front of her!
The gaze slowly moved upwards.
First came the dark, dense foliage.
Then there's a bright yellow patch.
On the yellow hoodie, the ghost's face was swollen and pale.
It crouched on the tree trunk, staring expressionlessly at Wan Xiaoshuang and the boy.
Bang!
Jumped down.
