Chapter 81: Star-chasing Journey
Chapter 81: Star-chasing Journey (Part )
In the darkness of despair, Liu Sheng felt his heartbeat accelerating rapidly, and every beat seemed to be synchronized with the rhythm of the falling car.
The cold wind in the air was like a knife, whistling in my ears, taking away all the sounds and leaving only fear spreading in my heart.
If I really had to describe it, it would probably be like riding a roller coaster with your eyes closed.
At this thrilling moment, Liu Sheng felt a warm and firm hand holding his tightly.
That was Wen Weilan's hand.
Wen Weilan only whispered, "Quickly open the protective shield."
Liu Sheng quickly calmed down and sent out two shields for Wen Weilan and himself.
The other people in the car were also awakened at this time.
Fortunately, not many people would come to take the bus so early, and the bus was heading to a not-so-bustling northern town, so there were only eight ghost hunters on the bus.
For ghost hunters, except for the less experienced Liu Sheng and the three academy disciples, dealing with various emergencies is commonplace, so they quickly adjusted their states and protected their bodies by various means.
As the temporary leader, Chen Shanyuan immediately reminded everyone, "Stay calm and use your own protective spiritual weapons!"
He shouted several times, his voice unusually clear in the darkness.
Lu Jun'an also screamed for a while, and only after hearing Chen Shanyuan's words did he barely react and opened his shield.
Luo Lu hugged Song Ru and obediently slapped out the protective amulet.
As the car gradually lost control, each ghost hunter tried his best to stabilize his body to avoid being thrown out or hit.
Liu Sheng and Wen Weilan leaned against each other tightly, holding each other's hands tightly.
Finally, with a loud "boom", the flying car crashed headfirst into the ground.
Fortunately, the flying car itself had a protective magic circle, and the ghost hunters were fully prepared. Although the ride was quite bumpy, no one was seriously injured, just a little dizzy and wanted to vomit.
After the impact, there was a dead silence all around, darkness still shrouded the area, but the breathing of Liu Sheng and the others gradually calmed down.
However, at this moment, they vaguely felt some unusual atmosphere around them.
"There's something..." Lu Jun'an's voice trembled slightly, and then Yu Jinling next to him quickly and softly made a "hush" sound.
Not making any noise is a basic principle when facing the unknown and strange things.
Don't move around randomly, especially now that you can't see anything.
Everyone could only silently hold their weapons and spiritual tools tightly, preparing for whatever might happen next.
In the silence, something was approaching the flying car with strange steps. It seemed to be the sound of many people's feet dragging on the grass, sticky and slippery, accompanied by the rustling sound of disturbed grass.
Everyone held their breath, their palms sweating with nervousness.
Even Chen Shanyuan was experiencing the first time of being deprived of his eyesight right from the start, so he couldn't help feeling nervous.
The sound got closer and clearer, and then stopped.
Why did you stop?
Didn't you find them?
Or...already in?
Suddenly, a clear, pleasant, and joyful female voice sounded at the front of the carriage, breaking the silence.
"Ah, hey, hello everyone! I didn't expect so many people have already boarded the bus!"
The sudden appearance of this voice made everyone's heart jump. Everyone nervously clenched their weapons, but in the darkness, they could not determine the source of the sound.
The owner of the voice seemed to sense their confusion and panic, and chuckled and said, "Oh, really, everyone is so nervous, did I forget to turn on the lights?"
With a quick snap of fingers, the vision that was originally shrouded in darkness suddenly brightened, and the outlines of surrounding objects gradually appeared in the dark vision bit by bit until they became clear.
They found themselves still sitting in the carriage, which was still lit.
However, the originally empty carriage was now filled with all kinds of people. Some were dressed simply like villagers, some looked like hunters, and some were even wearing tight clothes similar to those of ghost hunters.
At this moment, all of these "passengers" were facing the eight of them, their faces pale and staring at them expressionlessly.
In front of them, a woman was standing in front of them. She was wearing a pink dress and had an exaggerated smile on her pale face. The smile looked both weird and evil.
Although the carriage was still tilting forward because the front of the car plunged into the ground, she still stood firmly in the front.
She clapped her hands happily, as if welcoming a long-lost friend, and then proudly announced: "Welcome everyone to our star-chasing journey! I am your tour guide, Li Mingzhu, and I am very happy to meet you here!"
After hearing these words, the passengers who were looking at them turned around and looked at Li Mingzhu. They clapped their hands a few times rather stiffly, but no sound was made. Then they sat quietly. No one spoke, and only Li Mingzhu's voice echoed in the carriage.
Liu Sheng tightly grasped Wen Weilan's hand, feeling a sense of uneasiness growing in her heart, as if it did not belong to her.
She had been watching with her little tentacles, but still couldn't see clearly how these things appeared in the car. The door was clearly stuck in the ground and had never been opened.
It seemed as if the lights in the carriage turned on, and then it appeared out of thin air.
At this time, everyone understood that the car had probably fallen directly into the expanding evil den as soon as it flew near the Changxing Mountains.
Luo Lu whispered to Chen Shanyuan and other teammates, "We have to find a way out. Something is wrong here."
Li Mingzhu seemed to notice Luo Lu's whisper, and her laughter became more obviously weird. "Oh, it seems that we have some shy children! Don't be afraid, now that you are in my car, please enjoy this journey!"
Luo Lu gritted his teeth and thought for a moment.
For some reason, the restlessness in his heart grew stronger and stronger, almost making him unable to sit still.
No, he can't stay here any longer, he has to go out.
Since others want to plan before taking action, and no one dares to act first, then let him be the one to do it!
Then his face turned grim, he drew out the sword in his hand, jumped up from his seat, leaped forward, and stabbed Li Mingzhu.
There was a flash of sword, blood splattered everywhere, and Li Mingzhu's chest was deeply pierced by the sword. She fell to the ground, but her smile became more and more weird.
Chen Shanyuan was unable to stop him and gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.
I didn't expect that Luo Lu, who looked smart and had a bright future, would be so reckless right from the start.
Kuang Bowen beside him also had a sarcastic look on his face. He looked at Luo Lu's junior sister and said coldly, "Take care of your man and don't do useless work."
Song Ru's face turned pale, and she looked at her senior brother in front of her with concern, not daring to speak.
As expected, just as Luo Lu was panting and drawing his sword, he heard a familiar female voice in his ear, "Why are you so anxious?"
Luo Lu turned his head and saw another Li Mingzhu standing behind him intact, with that overly exaggerated smile still on her face, and the wound on her chest seemed to have never existed.
His heart was shocked and he looked down at the ground. There was Li Mingzhu lying in a pool of blood at his feet, with eyes wide open and a strange smile on her face, not moving at all.
The passengers around were still sitting there with expressionless faces, as if what had just happened had no effect on them at all.
Then he felt a chill on his right shoulder and the sword fell to the ground with a clatter.
Along with the sword, his right arm also fell to the ground.
