Mysterious resurgence

The group left the second ferry in a small wooden boat and continued to swim downstream.

Although the journey was peaceful and no danger was encountered.

However, after the wooden boat docked for the second time, a three-yuan note that had not been completely burned appeared on the boat. These signs indicated that something had boarded the boat at the previous ferry.

It’s just that no one noticed.

Although no one noticed it, Yang Jian and others already knew it.

There were definitely not just the five of them on this boat, there were also three unknown beings traveling with them. These three might be humans or ghosts.

The latter is more likely.

therefore.

Along the way, they might be attacked by evil spirits.

The lights on the bow of the boat flickered, dispersing a layer of mist on the river.

Everyone was a little silent now. Their attention began to be highly concentrated, and they were vigilant about everything around them. They were even prepared to be attacked by ghosts.

The wooden boat was swaying, not as stable as before.

Subtle changes were captured by the captains.

"Sure enough, there is still something on board. It is always a hidden danger if we travel together like this." Shen Lin squinted his eyes, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

Yang Jian said: "It is not a wise choice to take action on the boat. Once you leave the boat and fall into the river, no one knows what will happen. Let's maintain the status quo. Even if there is a ghost on the boat, as long as it is not targeted, then It doesn’t matter.”

"And even if they are targeted, they are all captains, so they have the ability to save their lives, as long as they don't die."

Liu San said: "We are counting on this ship to move. If there are ghosts on the ship, wouldn't it mean that wherever we stay is unsafe? If this hidden danger is not solved in advance, I'm worried that the ghosts on the ship will be there by then." Blocking our retreat is something we can’t think about.”

"That makes sense." Yang Jian didn't object.

Li Jun said: "Both of you are thinking the right thing. If we start now, we are afraid that the boat will sink or fall into the river before we reach the ghost lake. If we start again when we reach the ghost lake, we may face ghosts other than the ghost lake." Among them, there may be other fierce ghosts."

"Let's be fair. Let's vote by a show of hands on whether to eliminate hidden dangers now or deal with them later."

"Do it now." Liu Sandao said.

A Hong said: "I also think it's better to take action now."

Shen Lin smiled and said: "It would be too impulsive and reckless to just take action without knowing what the situation is. I agree with Captain Yang's idea. If there is a ghost on the ship, don't worry about it. Taking action at this juncture is not a good idea."

"Two to two, you are the only one left with one vote, Li Jun." Yang Jian said.

Li Jun frowned slightly at this moment, thinking.

He did want to take action to eliminate hidden dangers, but Yang Jian's considerations were reasonable. It would be unwise to provoke other things before the ghost lake was dealt with. Moreover, the ship was too small. If something went wrong, the crew might be reduced.

"It's better not to do anything."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jun felt that the Ghost Lake incident was the most important, and felt that Yang Jian's judgment was more accurate.

"But now we are not considering whether to take action or not. We have a more serious problem." Suddenly, Liu San glanced down and raised his feet.

My feet were wet.

I don't know when the water actually flowed into the boat.

"I have discovered it before. Since the boat left the second ferry, it has become heavier and heavier. At first, I thought that my observation was wrong. But now it seems that my previous observation was not wrong, and If this continues, the weight that this ship can carry will soon exceed its limit," Shen Lin said.

"In other words, it is very likely that the ship will sink before we reach Ghost Lake."

A Hong looked aside.

really.

I don’t know when the cold river water has begun to overwhelm the boat.

"Overloaded?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed.

What a familiar scene.

A similar situation has occurred on a supernatural bus. Once the supernatural bus is overloaded, the ghosts on the bus will start killing people and kill the living passengers to make room for them.

"Yang Jian, what do you think?" Li Jun asked.

Others looked at him.

Yang Jiandao: "The way to solve the overload on the supernatural bus was very simple before, that is to kill the extra people and free up the seats."

"There are too many people, so we need to reduce the number of people?" Li Jun's face changed: "How can this be done?"

"But I don't think this boat is overloaded. The number of people is definitely not the reason for the overloading of the boat. When the five of us boarded the boat before, the boat didn't even sway." Yang Jian said: "So this is not an ordinary boat. , is a ghost ship and belongs to the category of supernatural items.”

"It's not a matter of weight, then there's something wrong with the river water?" Liu San stared at the river.

At this time the ship sank a little more.

A Hong said: "The water in the ghost lake can sink everything. Maybe we are already close to the ghost lake, so this boat will sink."

Yang Jian stood at the bow of the boat. He also felt that the boat was shaky and about to sink.

But he was still thinking calmly: "The supernatural ghost lake, the ghost boat leading to the ghost lake, everything is related. It seems that everything has been arranged long ago, so this ghost boat is impossible It sank in the ghost lake, otherwise all this would be meaningless. I guess what really made the ship sink was not the number of people or the weight."

"What is that?" A Hong looked at him and said.

"Supernatural!"

Yang Jian said: "I guess the number of supernatural beings this boat can carry is limited. Once it exceeds this limit, the boat will gradually sink until all the supernatural beings on the boat are sunk into the water and submerged into the ghost lake together. From this world, Completely disappear.”

"This is not a ship that transports living people, it is a ship that transports ghosts. Ghost Lake is the terminal."

Shen Lin's eyes moved slightly: "So what really needs to be reduced is not the number of people, but the number of supernatural beings on the ship."

"I think so." Yang Jian said; "At least until there is no new evidence, I will stick to my inference."

But there was still a word left in his mind.

If this speculation is confirmed.

Then there is nothing wrong with five people paying four yuan when they boarded the boat.

There is a high probability that the four yuan was not paid to a living person, but to a dead person or a ghost.

therefore.

Among the five people in Yang Jian's party, four were judged to be ghosts by the ship, and only one was judged to be a living person by the ship.

Four of the five people are ghosts.

Needless to say, the identities of these four people must be the four captains Yang Jian, Liu San, Li Jun, and Shen Lin.

Because they have broken away from the category of human beings and become alien beings.

"If you want to prove whether what Yang Jian said is right, it's very simple. Give up some of the supernatural powers and see if you can reduce the weight of the ship." Li Jun said.

Then he immediately took out something without saying a word.

It turned out to be a dry, twisted arm, as if it was burnt.

Obviously, this is a part of the ghost that was dismembered and scattered for some reason, but this blackened arm still has some incredible supernatural power.

Li Jun stayed in his hands, most likely for him.

But at this moment, he hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and threw the blackened and withered arm off the boat.

Plop!

The water splashed up, and the blackened arm fell into the water.

However, at this moment, the withered and blackened arm stretched out instantly. After being soaked in the water, it suddenly grabbed the boat and hung on it, not wanting to sink into the water.

Yang Jian took a look, picked up the spear in his hand, pierced the blackened arm directly, and then threw it out.

At this time, the charred arm slowly sank like a piece of dead wood and quickly disappeared.

As part of the ship's supernatural presence decreases.

This small wooden boat slowly floated up a little as Yang Jian had guessed.

The river water no longer flooded the cabin.

"You are right, the ship carries supernatural beings, not weight, so the people who boarded the ship before were not living people at all, but ghosts." Liu San said solemnly.

"Since he is a ghost, why would he take the initiative to give money? There is no reason."

Yang Jiandao: "Someone told me before that the real use of paper money is to hand the money to ghosts, so that ghosts will not attack you, but I have another question, why won't ghosts attack you? In other words, if ghosts don't If they attack you, who will they attack? Where will the attacks of ghosts be transferred?"

"Money is not money, it is a bait. If you give money to a ghost, if the ghost does not attack you, it is likely to attack the ship. But the ship is also a supernatural object and cannot be killed, so the ghost got on the ship." Shen Lin's eyes widened. squint.

"The boat transported the ghost to the ghost lake again."

"As the number of ghosts on the boat gradually increases, the boat will sink, submerging a boatload of ghosts in the ghost lake, and the ghosts that sink to the bottom of the lake will be suppressed by the ghost lake."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

"If this is the case, then this is a carefully designed supernatural trap, a trap specially set for ghosts to achieve the purpose of using ghosts to imprison ghosts."

Liu San said in horror: "But how is this possible? How can someone design such a sophisticated and weird trap?"

Ghost, paper money, boat, ghost lake.

The four seem to have nothing to do with each other, but as long as the ghost accepts the paper money, an invisible rule will start to operate. The ghost will be attracted to the ferry, take the ghost boat, and then the ghost boat will sink, and the ghost will disappear into the ghost lake. Can't come out anymore.

"This trap was not designed by people of our era. It embodies the wisdom of people of the previous era."

Yang Jian's expression changed slightly and he said: "Don't underestimate the top figures of the past era. Those people were able to suppress the supernatural until now, relying not only on strength, but also wisdom. This is also the only weapon we can use to defeat the evil ghost."

"During the Republic of China?" Shen Lin said softly.

"Who else could be there besides those old guys?" Yang Jian said.

this moment.

Everyone once again felt how terrible the wisdom of the people of that era was. They used ghosts, set traps for ghosts, and let ghosts imprison themselves.

There are many places like this.

Dahai City Fushouyuan Cemetery

The old forest outside the mysterious old house.

Caesar Hotel in ZS City.

Now, we have to add a ghost lake in Zhongzhou City.

"But now is not the time to discuss this. The ship is still sinking. Just leaving one thing behind is not enough." Li Jun stared at the others: "You also need to reduce your burden and give up some things."

Yang Jian said directly: "I will do the second one. If the ship continues to sink, it will be up to you."

He was referring to Shen Lin and Liu San.

After saying this, he dropped a piece of yellow paper covering his face.

It was given to him on the Supernatural Bus last week.

If you stick it on your face, you can put it to sleep and avoid being attacked by evil spirits, but at the cost, you cannot wake up, and you need other people to help tear the yellow paper off your face.

At this time, this thing is useless.

Yang Jian thought for a moment and chose to discard this supernatural object.

The yellow paper was thrown off the boat and quickly sank into the river.

It's just that this item is not a very powerful supernatural thing, and its effect is not very great. It just stops the sinking trend of the ship, but it is not enough to make the ship float.

If Yang Jian dropped the hatchet, the boat would probably float immediately.

But it was impossible for him to give up this supernatural item.

"It seems that the expected effect has not been achieved. It's up to you." Yang Jian said.

Liu San glanced at him: "The third one, are you coming?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll do it." Shen Lin shrugged and said indifferently.

Since they are giving up some of the supernatural things in turn, it is quite fair, and there is nothing to say.
