Chapter 270 Scarier Than Ghosts

Under the dark sky, the pitch-black river seemed to be still and flowing.

The way was blocked by a sudden big river, and it was still in the situation of this barren plain.

Anyone would feel that this implication represents the unknown.

Gu An seemed to hear Ye Ya's mournful cry in his ears.

Tang Lie stood on the bank of the river, squatted down, and stared at the river.

The calm river is like a mirror, smooth and flat, but no reflection can be seen.

It may be that the light is too dark, or it has been polluted by something, eroded, and lost its original clarity.

At this time, Gu An silently glanced sideways at Han Laocai next to him, wondering if he should jump down to have a look.

After all, the Zombie King is invulnerable to swords and guns, and he is not afraid of Weird's best mental attack, so he is the best helper for pathfinding.

"Pfft..."

When Gu An was avatar, there was some movement in the river suddenly.

It was as if some huge object had smashed into the water, and then, a pair of bluish-purple arms suddenly rose out of the river, directly grabbing Tang Lie's ankle, trying to pull him down.

Tang Lie didn't have any precautions, just squatted on the shore, facing the attack, he froze for a moment, and then looked at the hands grabbing his ankles.

However, no matter how hard the hands were, they couldn't pull him into the water.

This picture looks a bit ironic.

Gu An couldn't help but smile, the weirdness in this river is really beyond comprehension...

Tang Lie was also simple and rude at this time, he directly grabbed the cyan arm, and then swiped it hard, the hands were bent at a very strange angle.

The surface of the river, which was still calm just now, also boiled at this time, and there was a sound of movement in the water, and the hands held by Tang Lie seemed to be struggling crazily, trying to escape back.

Tang Lie smiled ferociously. Normally, when Gu An looked at him, he would think his smile was very kind.

But now facing this strange attack on him, his smile is scarier than a ghost...

Gu An inexplicably sympathized with the strangeness that provoked Tang Lie, and could imagine the strange despair at this time.

On the shore, after Tang Lie broke off those weird hands, he still didn't let go. Instead, like carrying a sandbag, he forcibly pulled a purple skin, disheveled hair, and a pair of white eyeballs exposed under the messy hair, like a water ghost The same thing was pulled out of the river abruptly.

"It turned out to be such a thing."

Tang Lie took this strange thing, moved closer to him, and deliberately looked at his face close to his face for a while, and let out a mocking sound.

Then, he raised his other hand, and mercilessly performed a strange scene of tearing his hand in front of Gu An.

Gu An has seen Tang Lie's violent methods when dealing with weirdness.

It can be said that Wei Wei met Tang Lie as bad luck for eight lifetimes.

However, some of the river's water spilled on the bank as the eerie being pulled out struggled.

Then, those water droplets did not dry up, but spread towards Gu An at a very fast speed.

The water droplets seemed to have wings, and they were extremely fast, and they arrived in front of Gu An in a blink of an eye.

After the water droplets approached, Gu An clearly felt a burst of coolness coming from behind.

There seemed to be someone whispering in his ear, like crying, or talking, or more like inviting him to sit in the river.

Is this for soft persimmons?

Gu An remained calm, with a dark face.

This ghost didn't look for Tang Lie, nor Han Laocai, but just kept an eye on him. Obviously, he felt that he was the weakest of them.

Gu An narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly pulled out the kitchen knife with one hand, without saying a word, turned around and chopped it down.

The strange scene of Tang Lie tearing up his hand reappeared again. This ghost who appeared behind Gu An and was about to launch a sneak attack was cut in half by a kitchen knife.

With the combination of Zhu Xie and the kitchen knife, Gu An can be regarded as able to kill all directions in ordinary weird groups, and it can be solved with a little more time.

"That's it?"

After killing this short-sighted guy with one blow, Gu An taunted him again.

And the river seemed to find that this time it was all hard stubble, not easy to mess with, and calmed down again.

"They seem to be scared. There should be no problem crossing the river at this time."

Tang Lie pointed at the river and muttered.

Gu An nodded, then waved to Han Laocai as a gesture.

Han Laocai now more or less grasped some tacit understanding. After hearing Gu An's words, he immediately headed for the river without any hesitation.

Then the whole body lay flat in the river, face down, and the back was the plank of the boat.

Gu An and Tang Lie stepped on Han Laocai's steel-like back one after another, looking at the boundless river.

Han Laocai immediately swam to the other side.

This river jump can only be described as long, but not wide.

Han Laocai only swam forward for a while, and Gu An had already seen the other side.

During this period, there were still many water ghost-like ghosts in the river, and they didn't know if they had learned a lesson before. They still didn't dare to go forward, so they silently watched from the sidelines, and then dispersed.

"Even ghosts bully the weak and fear the strong, in this world..."

Looking at this scene, Gu An couldn't help but glance at his mouth.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The sound of the iron chain hitting was heard from the other side of the river.

Are there boats in this river?

Gu An felt a little familiar when he heard the voice.

Turning his head and looking, as the ship approached, green flames flickered around the bed, clearly showing the entire hull.

Gu An's expression also gradually froze.

Ghost ship?
Old, dilapidated, flickering will-o'-the-wisps, wind-blown sails, shrill screams, mournful cries, and creepy laughter.

How could Gu An forget this familiar scene.

He instantly remembered the space crack code-named No. 023.

It was also the crack he entered for the first time, where he met the ghost ship.

Now that the ghost ship suddenly appeared here, he naturally thought of that scene again.

Why is there a ghost ship here?Is it connected with the crack?

There is a possibility. After all, the Federation can directly communicate with another planet. It is not surprising that this crack connects with this river.

The ghost ship is approaching here.

Its speed is very fast, at least much faster than Han Laocai's swimming speed in the water.

In a blink of an eye, it is already close at hand.

Seeing the huge ghost ship standing in front of him, blocking Han Laocai's path, Gu An and Tang Lie became vigilant.

"How to do it?"

Tang Lie asked Gu An softly.

Before Gu An could reply, there was another sound of iron chains on the bed.

This time, it was a ladder made of iron chains. It fell from the bed board, and it looked like it was thrown down by humans, but Gu An kept staring at it, and did not see any traces of man-made.

The gleaming will-o'-the-wisp provided him with enough vision to clearly see the rust on the iron ladder.

And some rust and some blood printed on it after drying up.

Two different colors mixed together, it became dark brown.

Paired with the main theme of will-o'-the-wisps, it looks even more eerie.

Gu An looked at the iron ladder for a long time, then said softly: "Go up and have a look."

Since the ghost ship appeared here and blocked its way, there must be no way to avoid it, and it didn't hit directly, and it didn't take any attacks, which shows that it has rules, and it is not the kind of random killing when it sees victory weird.

So the ghost ship is more of an event than just weird.

While talking, Gu An got up and climbed up the iron ladder.

Tang Lie followed quickly, and then Han Laocai stood up from the water and followed behind.

The iron ladder was not long, and Gu An quickly climbed onto the deck.

The deck was empty, except for the will-o’-the-wisps, there were only lonely sails, and the central controller of the hull that was driven by no one.

The last time I boarded the ghost ship, there was a young girl on it, and I got rid of myself to help her find her lost soul.

But the soul has been found now, but Gu An never thought of returning it.

After all, there is no reason to give your own sister to others.

"Brother, it feels so familiar..."

Ah Ming, who rarely speaks, suddenly appeared. She was lying on Gu An's shoulder, looking at the ghost ship with confused eyes, looking around, as if she was sizing up something.

Seeing this scene, Gu An was inexplicably worried whether Ah Ming would remember something, and whether this happy and peaceful family life would be broken...

So, he turned his head and looked at the iron ladder, thinking whether to get off the boat or not.

But not long after this idea came up, the whole ghost ship suddenly moved again.

Its mission seems to be to receive Gu An and others, and then send them to another place.

Gu An immediately dismissed the idea of ​​getting off the boat.

My heart is full of curiosity.

Where is this ghost ship taking himself and others?

"Ah Ming, did you think of anything?"

Gu An carefully felt the ghost ship swimming in the water, while asking Ah Ming.

Ah Ming's face was confused, and he shook his head: "I can't remember."

Gu An didn't speak, just stood on the deck thinking.

At this moment, the portrait old man suddenly appeared.

The old man was still wearing a black hat with the brim drooping down. He slightly raised his head and looked at Gu An with a cold expression, then he gave out a hand and stroked Ah Ming's head, as if to comfort the depressed little guy.

On the contrary, compared with Gu An, who was expressionless and didn't even say a word of comfort, the old man was obviously more humane, and by the way, he looked at Gu An with more disgust.

Gu An watched this scene silently, complaining in his heart, am I redundant?

I don't know how long the ghost ship has been floating in the water.

Gradually, Gu An felt that the entire hull seemed to be tilting downwards, but he stood on the deck as stable as Mount Tai.

What a miraculous phenomenon...

Gu An felt that this was somewhat similar to the happy family community.

"Boom..."

There was a slight noise, and the ghost ship stopped moving forward.

It seems to have reached its destination.

The iron ladder on the deck hung down again without anyone swinging it, hanging on the hull, signaling Gu An and others to leave.

Gu An took the lead again and climbed down the iron ladder.

It was only when he landed that he discovered the environment he was in.

It was a place he had never seen before.

It's like an underground city.

But its architectural style is very weird.

It's a bit like the divine mansions recorded in Yamamura Nozomi, but the overall style tends to be dark.

First of all, you can see an entrance, which seems to be a tall city gate.

The city gate is shaped like a grimace, and it opens to both sides, as if it was split into two halves.

On the city wall, some paper figurines were dangling there, looking as if they were going to be blown away by the wind at any moment.

A red candle is lit in front of each paper figurine.

The red candle is very long, but it ignites very fast. Gu An thinks, are these paper figurines eating candles?

Otherwise, where would it normally burn so fast...

There is also the city wall, the bricks on it are also different, all are bright red, as if soaked in blood, it is countless times brighter than normal red bricks.

There should be a city behind the city gate, but the light is too dark, Gu An can't see what's going on inside, so he can only continue walking towards it.

Since they all chose to come, there is naturally no reason to back down.

Going forward, when approaching the city gate, Gu An discovered that there are actually two stone statues standing in the two factions of the city gate.

The stone statue looks like some kind of beast, Gu An doesn't recognize it, it looks very fierce.

"I don't know if this thing can be moved back."

Gu An stared at the animal stone statue for a while, showing some greed.

He felt that this stone statue should be a good thing, after all, it would definitely not be bad if it could be used to guard the city gate.

But it's just talking, if you really want to move out, at least wait until you come back and try again.

After muttering something, Gu An led Tang Lie and Han Laocai to continue walking towards the back of the city gate.

As for the stone statue he muttered just now, the eyeballs that had not moved suddenly turned at this moment, and drops of blood flowed out from its eyes, staining the ground red.

"This seems to be an ancient city, but it was sealed here, and I don't know how many years have passed..."

After entering the city, Gu An glanced at both sides. Some buildings were very old, and just one glance gave people a feeling of vicissitudes in the past.

This is just the beginning.

As he continued to move forward, the outline of the entire city became wider and wider, and he saw more and more.

There are many 'people' in this city!
In other words, this is not a human being, but a paper doll.

Just like the paper figurines that Gu An saw on the city tower before, all of them were wobbly and might be blown away by the wind at any time.

These paper figurines have bloodshot cheeks, walking in a floating posture on the streets of the city, and there are many stalls.

The bosses and hawkers behind the stalls are also paper figurines.

These paper figurines are in groups of three or four, or they are acting alone. Some of them are looking at each other, some are walking, and they are all kinds of people.

Gives a sense of communication.

However, this communication is silent, because even though there are many paper figurines in this city, from the beginning to the end, except for the solitary sound of the wind, there is no sound in the entire city, which is eerily quiet.

Gu An stood in the center of the city, with him as the center point, infinitely extended upwards, and his vision gradually narrowed. He was incompatible with this city.
