Chapter 475 [The Train] Seizing Eyes, Ears, and Mouth
"..."
Chen Ji quickly dismissed his previous idea.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the little monkey.
On the contrary, the little monkey was always quite nice. At first, it was unwilling, but later it even took the initiative to save Chen Ji.
But Chen Ji himself felt...
Perhaps he shouldn't rely so much on the little monkey's speech.
After all, the conditions for sacrifice are too cruel and harsh, and the pen's occasional disappearance has already proven that the ghost is not a foolproof guarantee.
The monkey's tail swayed gently.
The little monkey, unaware of Chen Ji's thoughts, quietly lay on Chen Ji's shoulder, motionless like a shawl.
Pulling his thoughts back, Chen Ji turned his attention to his surroundings.
He deliberately lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he could only see a corner of the curtain and the rusty legs of the hospital bed.
The large ward was as quiet as all their previous worries had turned out to be unfounded.
But Chen Ji was very certain.
The ghost is right here.
Waiting for the opportunity.
As Chen Ji passed each hospital bed, his body gradually tensed...
The same applies to others.
Du Tingfeng knew very well that their entry into the house in this state was like prey entering a wolf's den.
Standing at the back, Tian Qinghe was like a taut string, her brain working at high speed.
Although he was relatively safe here, and the terracotta warriors could at least withstand one attack.
But nobody knows what this ghost's tricks are. What if it just skips over the first two people and suddenly pounces on them when they let their guard down?
Moreover, simply dodging is useless.
Tian Qinghe was always ready to seize the eyes, ears, and mouth from the ghost face.
We're almost at the end of the ward.
Just as the atmosphere here was becoming increasingly tense, Tian Qinghe's eyes suddenly twitched.
Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the hospital bed he had just walked past; the sheets swayed slightly.
I forcibly suppressed my racing heartbeat.
Tian Qinghe remained calm, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
But his full attention was focused on his ears, and soon he vaguely heard a rustling sound, like a breeze sweeping through fallen leaves, flash by.
at the same time--
A sudden chill ran down his back.
A light, airy voice sounded behind me:
"Shh!"
Tian Qinghe immediately realized that the ghost had appeared behind him. He quickly closed his eyes and turned around to grab it with lightning speed!
But at that moment, a buzzing sound suddenly filled his mind, and he heard a series of clicking sounds in his ears.
Just like Du Tingfeng.
The terracotta figurine is cracked.
Then, his hand touched a perfectly intact face.
[Shh!] It disappeared again.
Tian Qinghe suddenly opened his eyes and saw only a corpse staring blankly at him.
Bang!
Without the manipulation of "Hush!", the corpse fell stiffly to the ground.
Looking at the ashen corpse, Tian Qinghe's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
Even with his eyes closed, he still triggered the taboo.
This proves their assumptions were wrong.
What exactly is the mechanism of this ghost?
As Tian Qinghe pondered, a sudden glint appeared in her eyes.
Both of the ghost's attacks were from behind, just like in the second picture.
Is it because the ghost is behind and the person is in front?
When a ghost makes a "hiss" sound, you shouldn't be behind yourself.
Just then, Tian Qinghe felt her body being pulled, and the three of them formed a tight circle, facing outwards.
Remaining in this state, there was no further movement around.
This confirmed Tian Qinghe's idea.
But new problems have arisen.
This way they won't be attacked, but if they can't find the ghost, they'll be trapped in the illusion forever!
Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly.
His ideas differed from Tian Qinghe's.
At first, he also thought that he shouldn't face the ghost with his back, but he quickly realized something was wrong.
Indeed, the second picture seems to suggest that people should not turn their backs on ghosts.
But if the taboo is truly like that.
Then they must have been dead long ago.
Because this taboo is too vague, ghosts don't need to do much to kill them. They can simply attach themselves to any corpse closest to the exit and wait for them to walk forward, thus achieving the condition of "humans in front, ghosts behind".
Theoretically speaking, this ghost could have acted silently without risking having its facial features taken away and attracting their attention.
The ghost only made two moves. Was it because it didn't want to, or because it couldn't?
If not.
Therefore, the taboo must be triggered by them.
Ghosts cannot be controlled.
Therefore, it won't be the passive option of "behind".
Considering everything that just happened, and eliminating two possibilities, then both Tian Qinghe and Du Tingfeng must have done something...
There is only one.
Chen Ji thought for a moment, then gently touched the palms of Tian Qinghe and Du Tingfeng.
He quickly traced a line across the palms of the two men's hands, revealing to them the true taboo.
Feeling the arc of the line passing through his hand, Du Tingfeng's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Chen Ji was about to do.
Tian Qinghe was also taken aback, her mind quickly processing what had happened.
"Get out first."
Chen Ji spoke softly, without deliberately lowering his voice:
"Don't expose your back."
He knew he would be the next target, and it would happen very soon.
Each with their own thoughts, the three remained in their previous positions, slowly inching forward until they passed the corpse lying on the ground—
Du Tingfeng, who was standing next to Chen Ji, suddenly felt a chill on his ankle!
The face-down corpse on the ground suddenly grabbed his foot and dragged him to the ground!
The ghosts couldn't allow them to remain in this form for too long.
The three people stood back to back, like a triangle. What the ghost did was to make this stable triangle lose a corner.
In the blink of an eye, all three knew the time had come.
It's now.
The corpse that was repossessed was not targeting Du Tingfeng, but Chen Ji—
It was like a subconscious reaction.
Chen Ji suddenly turned around and looked in Du Tingfeng's direction.
At the very same second he turned around, his entire face was suddenly met with the shh!
"Shh!"
The face wore a strange smile, as if mocking Chen Ji for misjudging the clues and thinking that facing him directly meant he wasn't exposing his back.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Chen Ji's face immediately collapsed as if it had exploded, triggering a fatal taboo!
That is...
Turn around.
But at the same time.
Another face appeared on the back of his head.
The drowned ghost now occupies the main position.
In an instant, Chen Ji's body, which should have been dead, suddenly shot out his hands and grabbed the mouth of "Shh!" and yanked it out hard!
At the same time, taking advantage of the brief moment when [Shh!] attacked Chen Ji, Du Tingfeng suddenly stood up and grabbed [Shh!]'s ear from behind.
This time they have confirmed the taboo.
There's no need to be as timid and hesitant as before.
stab-
In just one second.
As if by prior agreement, the three of them tore off the ghost's eyes, ears, and mouth respectively!
At the same time, the back of Chen Ji's head felt as if he had been splashed with a bucket of ice water, melting away rapidly, as if he were looking through the surface of water.
It was exactly the same as when he was in Jiagu River and was subjected to the substitution ritual.
The drowned ghost has regained its dominant position, and the backlash has reached its peak!
Chen Ji had lost control of his body.
He's going to be replaced by a drowned ghost.
But at that moment, he opened his mouth and whispered:
Do you know someone named Li Bo?
"he died."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ji's face became clear for a second.
Taking advantage of this lull, he had a sudden thought and, feeling the return of control, immediately deactivated the [Substitute Death Method]!
