Mysterious recovery: starting from the mysterious bus

Chapter 28 The Man in the Red Coffin

"Clang~"

Just as Li Hui was looking at the darkness outside the door, a slight noise from the building attracted his attention.

The sound came from the second floor.

Looking up, the environment upstairs is darker than that on the first floor. Although it is not as good as the extreme darkness outside the door, it also affects the sight and can only barely see.

Looking up from Li Hui's perspective, he could only see the corner between the stairs and the second floor, but not the scene above the second floor.

A staircase extends gracefully, connecting the first floor with the second floor.

The stairs are also made of wood, and some of the wooden boards used as steps have decayed, making people seriously doubt its load-bearing ability and whether it can withstand an adult stepping upstairs.

"Is there a ghost on the second floor? Or...is it Ye Zhen who made the noise?"

Looking towards the second floor, Li Hui's expression moved slightly. He wanted to ask, but he suddenly stopped when he reached his mouth. He was worried and did not dare to speak out.

This old-fashioned building is too weird, exuding a cold atmosphere. There may be some supernatural rules, and there are countless dangers hidden in it.

the most important is.

The old houses in the past almost all looked the same. Li Hui couldn't tell its specific age just from the layout of this room.

It would be okay if it was in Blue Star, but in the mysteriously resurrected world, old houses, especially those that may be related to the Republic of China period, represent great dangers.

Even though I drove a three-story bus, it was still a bit unsatisfactory.

"Want to go up and have a look?"

Li Hui was a little hesitant. He not only wanted to confirm whether Ye Zhen was on the second floor at the moment, but also wanted to find a way out.

The darkness outside the door was too weird. There were faint ghosts standing in the darkness, and there seemed to be a lot of them. If possible, he wanted to find other exits to leave.

The rooms on both sides of the hall on the first floor also have unknown dangers. Even Ye Zhen suffered serious injuries in them, so the only other possible exits are on the second floor.

and……

This old-fashioned building seemed to be in disrepair. The ceiling on the roof collapsed in several places. Judging from the size of the cave, it was completely big enough for an adult to climb out.

Tatata!

Thinking of this, Li Hui started to take action and walked towards the stairs.

crunch~

The moment Li Hui stepped on the stairs, the wooden stairs immediately made a sound of grinding teeth. The sound echoed up and down the floor, making it particularly weird and eerie.

There are twenty-four steps in the staircase, and more than one-third of the wooden boards are severely decayed. Li Hui did not want to test the load-bearing capacity of the rotten wooden boards, so he directly crossed over and stepped on the seemingly normal steps.

The process of going upstairs went smoothly, and there were no supernatural phenomena on the stairs. This made Li Hui, who was already prepared for the attack of the ghost, slightly relieved.

Soon, he arrived on the second floor.

The environment on this floor is much darker than that on the first floor, which affects the line of sight, but you can barely see, but what you see is far less clear than on the first floor.

At the same time, there are more items on the second floor than on the first floor, and they are also weirder.

In the living room on the second floor, there are five coffins, four of which are black with a large word "Dian" printed on the side. There is another red coffin, placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by four black coffins.

The paint on the red coffin was extremely bright, as if it was painted with blood. When placed in such a strange place, an inexplicable sense of eeriness arose spontaneously.

In addition to the five coffins, there are also many objects hanging on the walls of the living room, the most commonly displayed are oil paintings of various styles.

The content of each oil painting is different. Some oil paintings are about a man, some are about a woman, some are about a child, and some oil paintings are landscapes.

Looking at the oil paintings hanging on the walls of the living room, Li Hui frowned. He was wondering whether these oil paintings might be related to the S-class supernatural incident that was wandering around the world.

"It shouldn't matter." After thinking for a moment, Li Hui shook his head and eliminated the suspicion in his mind.

The reason is very simple. If these oil paintings hanging on the walls are really supernatural works derived from ghost paintings, then with the supernatural power of ghost paintings, the gray ghost land covered with paper dust has long been extended, covering everything around it. Shrouded in.

Unless... some kind of supernatural power in this old building suppresses the supernatural power of the ghost painting.

Bang~!

At this moment, another voice came, breaking the deathly silence around him. This time Li Hui heard clearly that the voice came from the red coffin.

For an instant.

All of Li Hui's attention was attracted by the red coffin. Looking from his direction, he could only see the side of the coffin. Then Li Hui moved a few steps to the side and moved to the front of the coffin.

"That is……"

When Li Hui moved to the front of the coffin, he saw an extremely strange scene. There was a black and white photo of the deceased on the front of the red coffin.

The photo looks like a composite. The left half of the person's face looks like that of an old man, with gray hair and wrinkles, while the right half of his face looks like that of a young man, handsome.

The most important thing is that Li Hui still recognizes this half of the face, and the owner of the face is Ye Zhen.

"Ye Zhen is inside this red coffin?"

Li Hui was a little surprised, but he did not immediately step forward to open the coffin for verification. Instead, he continued to look at the red coffin.

He discovered that as time went by, the black and white photo of the portrait affixed to the red coffin was constantly changing.

The position occupied by the half of the old man's face on the left is gradually shrinking, and Ye Zhen's face is expanding. The outline of his face, which was originally only half, is now almost two-thirds.

"What is going on? Is Ye Zhen being invaded by a supernatural being, or is he trying to invade and control the supernatural being in this coffin?"

Judging from the changes in the black and white portrait, Li Hui guessed that there should be two people in the red coffin, one of whom was Ye Zhen, and the other was the old man in the photo of the portrait.

Also a fierce ghost!

He was not sure whether Ye Zhen was experiencing a supernatural invasion at this moment, or whether he was controlling the supernatural. This was the main reason why he did not go directly to open the coffin.

Li Hui was afraid that his sudden opening of the coffin would break some supernatural balance inside. He was also afraid that there was no Ye Zhen in the coffin, only ghosts, and that the photos on the portrait were just some kind of supernatural phenomenon.

boom! Bang bang~!

Just as Li Hui continued to observe, the movement of the red coffin became more intense. The coffin was shaking, and there were even cracks in some places, as if something inside was hitting the coffin hard.

at the same time.

At this time, the black and white portrait began to seep out blood continuously. The blood was scarlet and sticky, and soon covered the entire portrait. Then it flowed out from the portrait and extended towards the red coffin.

Not long after, even the red coffin was completely covered in the scarlet and sticky blood, as if a new layer of paint had been painted on it, the color was abnormally bright.

boom!

At this time, the vibration of the coffin increased again, and it jumped up from the ground several times. Even the lid of the coffin fell down, and was broken into pieces and turned into red broken wood chips.

After the coffin lid fell, Li Hui took a few steps forward, seemingly trying to see clearly what was going on inside the coffin, but failed.

The inside of the coffin was scarlet, filled with scarlet, viscous blood, submerging everything in it. The blood contained some kind of supernatural power and revealed a cold aura.

But the next moment.

A palm whose flesh was severely corroded and whose black bones were exposed suddenly stretched out from the pool of blood inside the coffin.

There is also a long sword that is bent and deformed and full of gaps in the palm of his hand.

"It's Ye Zhen!"

The moment he saw the long sword, Li Hui recognized the opponent's identity, even though the palm didn't look like a normal person's palm, but more like the hand of a ghost.

next moment.

The red coffin seemed to be unable to withstand the impact of some huge force. There were cracks on the coffin, it was torn apart, and finally it was completely broken. Scarlet blood suddenly gushes out and spreads towards the surrounding ground.

At the same time that the coffin was shattered, Ye Zhen's voice also sounded: "You want to kill me, Mr. Ye, just because you are a ghost? You think too highly of yourself."

As the words fell.

Ye Zhen stood up from the bloody and messy living room floor, looked in the direction of Li Hui, and said:

"Xiao Li, you've come in too. That's good. This time I must show you my peerless style, Mr. Ye. There are many evil ghosts in this place. Let's see how I kill them."

As he spoke, Ye Zhen waved the long sword in his hand that was bent, deformed and full of gaps, gestured and said, "See, this is my peerless sword."

"The reason why it became like this ghost is because it followed me, Mr. Ye, to conquer this supernatural place to kill ghosts. I just cut back and forth from upstairs to downstairs, and then from downstairs to... Upstairs, for a full twenty minutes, without stopping for a moment, not even blinking."

As he spoke, Ye Zhen seemed to realize something, glanced at the scarlet blood stained on his body, and then shouted loudly.

"I, Mr. Ye, have been invincible in my life. I have a majestic figure and unparalleled figure in the world. How can I be tainted by dirty things like you? Get out of my way!"

this moment.

Ye Zhen used his own supernatural power, and the light from the ghost realm flashed past. All the scarlet blood stained on his body disappeared, and he didn't know where it was sent.

But Ye Zhen's ghost realm only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing again. A powerful supernatural force emerged in the house, suppressing his ghost realm.

Even Ye Zhen couldn't even use the ghost realm to teleport away, because his ghost realm couldn't expand and could only barely cover himself for a moment. As long as it extended outwards, it would be suppressed for an instant.

"Do you know how to get out of here?"

At this time, Li Hui spoke and asked the questions he wanted to know, directly ignoring Ye Zhen's full of nonsense.

"This damn place is hard to get in and out of!"

Speaking of leaving, Ye Zhen's face became gloomy and ugly. "What I first entered was not this old house, but a dark path. Later..."

"After entering this old house, I tried to leave through the gate, preparing to cross the darkness."

"There are many ghosts in the darkness, and the level of terror is not low, but it is still far behind compared to me, Mr. Ye. I rushed to kill them all the way, but when I left the darkness, I returned to this old house inexplicably."

"At that time, I appeared in the room on the side of the hall on the first floor. There was a fierce ghost lying on the bed in that room. It was not weak. It took several sword blows from me before it was repelled..."

"..."

Listening to Ye Zhen's account, Li Hui roughly understood the other party's experience of entering this supernatural place, and also knew some of the supernatural rules in this old-fashioned building. If he was not careful, he would be attacked by evil spirits.

Ye Zhen described it very lightly. In his description, he himself was completely invincible, and all the evil ghosts were easily repelled or suppressed by him.

But Li Hui knew that the actual situation was not like this. If it were another ghost controller to experience the supernatural attacks that Ye Zhen had experienced before, he would probably die dozens of times.

This can be seen from Ye Zhen's own state at the moment.

At this time, the skin on Ye Zhen's hands had completely rotted, and seemed to have been eroded by something. The skin and flesh fell off, revealing the strange black bones inside, just like the bones of a dead person.

Not only that, as time went by, this black color continued to spread, eroding towards Ye Zhen's arms.

This is a sign that the evil ghost is reviving. This shows how many times Ye Zhen used supernatural powers in these short twenty minutes.

But the same thing.

As the ghost's resurgence intensifies, the supernatural power controlled by Ye Zhen will become more terrifying. The ghost that was originally unable to be repelled was successfully repelled and suppressed after his supernatural power intensified.

"Then have you never tried to climb out of the collapsed hole in the roof?" Li Hui asked the question he was most concerned about.

He came up to the second floor. In addition to confirming whether Ye Zhen was on this floor, the most important thing was to see if he could leave through the collapsed roof.

But Ye Zhen recounted there for a long time, from the experience of entering the supernatural place to being attacked and lying in a coffin, but he did not have the experience of leaving through the hole in the roof.

"no!"

Ye Zhen glanced at Li Hui dissatisfied and said loudly: "Who am I, Ye? The number one ghost master in Asia, nicknamed Ye Wudi by people in the circle! Would I do something like getting into a dog hole?"

Fine.

Li Hui finally understood that the clown was himself.

Expecting to get useful clues from Ye Zhen is simply a fool's errand.

The other party's brain circuit is different from that of normal people. He won't even think about leaving here through other means. All he can think about is how to cut down the evil ghosts here and then fight them out.

In a sense, it is normal for Ye Zhen to have such thoughts, because this is his usual style when facing supernatural beings.

No matter what plots, evil spirits, killing patterns, or what abilities the evil spirits have, they just stick to the word "reckless".

Not to mention this point in time, in the original work, even in the later period, Ye Zhen, who has experienced more than one defeat, is the same. He is not afraid of anything except the nails in the coffin and just goes ahead.

After thinking for a while, Li Hui said: "Since ancient times, real heroes are not those who show bravery for a moment, but those who can bend and stretch."

"How can leaving from a place where the roof collapses be called drilling a dog hole? That's called a strategic retreat. It's a symbol of wisdom and being good at discovering loopholes in the rules. What do you think?"

For people like Ye Zhen, Li Hui knew how to exploit their weaknesses. There were only two most direct and effective ways, one was to provoke the generals, and the other was to flatter them.

"What you said doesn't seem to be unreasonable." Hearing this, Ye Zhen actually nodded. Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
