Can I become the Yu-Gi-Oh by summoning the Flame Swordsman?
Chapter 160 Absurd Night
In the fire in Guan'er County, the carriage arranged by Qin Zhen was also burned down along with the inn, and the whereabouts of the carriage driver were unknown, most likely he had been killed by Bai Haisheng. However, Bai Chu also killed Bai Haisheng and Lu Hongying successively, which could be regarded as revenge for him.
The journey had to continue, so Bai Chu arranged to buy a new carriage, but the quality of it was much lower, and this time, Bai Chu had to drive the horse himself.
"Sir, you said that the place you are going to is Wentang County?" The merchant who bought the carriage spoke to Bai Chu while holding the horse's reins.
Bai Chu replied, "Yes, I heard that Wentang County is where the locust plague originated and is also one of the places with the most serious banditry. I want to go and confirm the situation there."
"Sir, I may be a bit talkative, but I must tell you that compared to our Guan'er County, Wentang County is the real hell on earth." The businessman shook his head and said, "We businessmen who travel all over the country never dare to set foot there. We would rather take a detour of hundreds of miles than dare..."
“Is that where the locust plague is most severe?”
"Yes, but the locust plague has spread to other places. Now it has stabilized." The merchant nodded. "Also, most of the relief grain from the court in the early days was allocated there, so the famine caused by the locust plague has been brought under control."
Bai Chu asked in confusion: "So what do you mean by the hell on earth you mentioned?"
The businessman shook his head in a mysterious manner and said nothing more.
……
Thirty days later.
Late at night, a horse-drawn carriage galloped through the deserted countryside. The moon was dim in the sky and the stars were sparse. Within a radius of several miles, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.
Since they had been running for a long distance without rest, even the horses that Bai Chu had carefully selected were almost exhausted, and the carriage was moving at an extremely slow speed.
Bai Chu held a torch in one hand and looked around intently. The eerily quiet atmosphere made people feel uneasy.
"Bai Chu, are you thirsty?" Qin Liu got out of the carriage and handed a water bag to Bai Chu who was driving the car: "Why do I feel like we have been driving for a long time tonight? Do you want to stop and rest?"
"There is something strange happening near Wentang County." Bai Chu took a sip of water and frowned, "We set out from the last post station early yesterday morning. At that time, I calculated that even if we calculated the time at the slowest speed, we should arrive at Wentang County before the sun sets today at the latest.
However, until now, it is already late at night, and we have not seen any trace of Wentang County. Even if the horses are very tired and the speed of travel is slowed down, it is not necessary to waste so much time. "
"Did we take the wrong path?"
"Impossible." Bai Chu shook his head and said, "There is only one main road along the way. There are no forks in the road, and there are no people in sight. How could we go astray?"
"Bai Chu, don't scare me..." Qin Liu suddenly felt a cold wind blowing and leaned towards Bai Chu.
"You'd better go inside the carriage. Your clothes are thin and it's windy outside." Bai Chu said with a smile, watching Qin Liu walk into the carriage.
But in the few seconds when he turned his head, the running horse suddenly let out a frightened neigh. Bai Chu turned back suddenly, but saw an incredible scene.
At the end of the road ahead, there was also a carriage approaching - a carriage without a horse pulling its body, coming from the opposite direction without relying on any external force. Its wheels were burning with flames, leaving two charred wheel marks on the path it passed.
On the front of the car body, what is particularly eye-catching is the huge human face, with a green face and fangs, shining eyes, looking forward with a smile, and the purple hair behind the head covers the entire entrance of the car body.
Looking closely at the car body, there is something indescribably strange about it. It is very narrow and long, and appears to be rather short in proportion. A row of burning lanterns hang on both sides, and on the dome of the front of the car there are two large lanterns that illuminate the way ahead - it clearly looks like a walking coffin.
The carriage on the opposite side also stopped, and from behind it came a rickshaw pulled by a driver in blue. The driver's eyes narrowed into a line, with a seemingly hearty smile on his face, and he said, "Oboro-cha, if you don't hurry up, the owner will be angry."
Oboroguruma opened his mouth and said, "There are humans ahead."
Seeing the green-faced human-headed man speaking, the frightened horse seemed to go crazy, running around non-stop trying to turn around and escape. No matter how Bai Chu waved the whip, it would not obey and kept crying out heart-wrenchingly.
In order to prevent the out-of-control horse from running around and getting lost with the carriage, Bai Chu had no choice but to let go of the reins and let the horse escape, leaving Bai Chu's carriage abandoned there.
Bai Chu jumped off the carriage and asked, "Who are you? You are playing tricks here."
The blue-clad driver pulled the rickshaw and trotted towards Bai Tu, shouting in surprise, "Master, it's really a human!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out from the curtain of the rickshaw. Before Bai Chu could see what was happening, a pair of women's hands rested on his shoulders.
"Still a handsome man." The woman's voice was soft and gentle, and a pale hand even wanted to touch Bai Chu's chin, but was pushed away by Bai Chu without any hesitation.
Bai Chu looked closely and saw that the woman in front of him had a head full of white hair, and was wearing a white kimono and a blue short skirt. She was wearing a pair of high-heeled wooden clogs, but they were still only as high as Bai Chu's shoulders.
The moment she appeared, Bai Chu even felt that the temperature of the air around her dropped a few degrees.
Bai Chu took a few steps away and asked again: "Who are you?"
"Young master, we are touring artists and are now planning to go to Wentang County. Do you want to go with us?" The white-haired woman giggled.
"Wentang County? Who are you trying to fool?" Bai Chu said vigilantly, "You are all going in opposite directions."
"No, sir. Go in the direction we are going. It will take you ten miles to reach Wentang County."
"What!?" Bai Chu was shocked. "Did I go the wrong way? According to the map, I should have arrived a long time ago, but... I didn't see any human habitation or buildings along the way, not even a bird chirping. What's going on?"
"Shall we go? Sir, you feel so cold. Come sit in my rickshaw. I'll help you..." The white-haired woman came forward and blew into Bai Chu's ear: "Warm yourself up."
The closer I get to you, the colder it will get, Bai Chu thought to himself, shivering, and stepped away again, saying, "Sorry, we're not going that way."
"..." The white-haired woman kept smiling, and the next second she turned into a gust of evil wind and returned to the rickshaw.
The rickshaw driver shouted loudly, "Let's go." and continued on his way in small steps. The clumsy rickshaw with a human face also creaked along behind him, and the flames burned the ground as they passed by.
Bai Chu looked at the rickshaw and the carriage going away and thought to himself, "Follow them and see what's going on."
But it’s strange that with such a big commotion outside, Qin Liu, who was so curious, didn’t come out of the carriage to join in the fun.
Bai Chu walked to his carriage, opened the door, and said, "Qin Liu, we may have to walk for a while..."
With the help of the torchlight, Bai Chu couldn't see any figure in the carriage. His expression changed drastically in an instant: "Qin Liu? Qin Liu!"
Bai Chu looked around and shouted, "Qin Liu——"
No one responded.
"Damn it, why is there no movement at all?" Bai Chu clenched his fists: "When did this girl disappear?"
Without any hesitation, the white clusters ran in the direction where the rickshaw and the carriage had gone. Fortunately, they did not go far and soon saw the backs of a group of people.
"Stop, stop right there!"
The rickshaw driver stopped and the white-haired woman reappeared: "Sir, have you changed your mind?"
"You...hand over Qin Liu." Bai Chu said, panting.
"Who is Qin Liu?"
"Stop pretending. The girl in my carriage was kidnapped by you, right?" Bai Chu frowned.
"I didn't see any girl." The white-haired woman looked at the rickshaw driver, then at the rickshaw: "Did you see any girl?"
"No." One man and one car said in unison.
"You are the only human we see, young master." The white-haired woman said to Bai Chu.
"I've noticed that you guys are weird and abnormal for a long time," Bai Chu said, holding up the duel disk in his left hand. "It seems that I have to get rid of you all to make everything return to normal."
"What a rude human." A duel disk also appeared on the white-haired woman's arm: "Since you insist on throwing your life at our door, then we will refuse you disrespectfully."
