The hovercraft was traveling at high speed in the air, passing through passers-by of all shapes and sizes. The changes in the past forty years had brought about earth-shaking changes in the building. Tang Ning could only follow the navigation.
Suddenly, a passerby with fluttering hair in white clothes rushed towards us.
Tang Ning didn't see any flying equipment on the passerby for a moment. His black hair completely covered his face, and his pale hands stretched straight out. But with a shrill roar, the evil ghost in white flew directly towards Tang Ning!
In a second, Tang Ning saw the evil spirit in white ignore the obstruction of the glass and forcefully crawl in with its head. Its cold eyes were faintly visible behind its messy black hair.
"Ding! The temperature inside the car is abnormal. Do you want to increase the temperature of the car air conditioner?"
Tang Ning had no energy to pay attention to what the smart butler was saying. Fortunately, he didn't need to hold the steering wheel to drive the hovercraft, which gave Tang Ning free hands to stick the talisman that Xie Yunting had left for him.
His speed was very fast, exceeding the average speed of 99% of elderly people. He successfully attached the talisman to the body of the evil ghost in white at the critical moment, and the evil ghost turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated in the wind.
"Click."
The price I paid was that my right hand seemed to be dislocated...
Oh no, it seems like my hands really can't move. No, that ghost did something to Tang Ning, Tang Ning used his old body too quickly.
"Beep! The road ahead is blocked. Do you want to change the route?"
Tang Ning struggled to take out the first aid bandage from his space ring and wrapped it around his dislocated right hand. While he was treating it urgently, he looked up and saw that the streets were densely packed with ghosts that could float in the air without the help of any flying props.
When they appeared in large numbers, the sunny sky became half gloomy.
Tang Ning: “…” Shit!
The setting of this Sleeping Beauty card is: Is danger always with you
Now there is one thing Tang Ning can be sure of, that is, something must have happened to the prince who had been secretly protecting him, otherwise he would never allow himself to encounter such a monster in such a frightened and weak state.
Tang Ning quickly took out the Qingyun Taoist robe from his space ring and tried to calm himself down as he thought of a countermeasure.
First of all, he definitely can't deal with so many ghosts by himself. Even if Tang Ning has the soul fire, his body will probably be overdrawn after the soul fire burns once.
Although many of the props he had could overcome these ghosts, Tang Ning's body could not. For example, Tang Ning felt that he would become dizzy and lose his mind if he shook the Soul-Calming Bell once.
He needs to ask his teammates for help.
Tang Ning urgently asked for help in the group.
Zhou Kang and Lin Yun both said that they would rush over to Tang Ning immediately. Even if Zhou Kang didn't have the money for the trip, he would borrow money to come over. However, Lin Yun and Zhou Kang were both far away from Tang Ning, and distant water could not quench nearby fire.
Fortunately, Si Tai and Li Haoyuan were neighbors and their homes were nearby. Si Tai and Li Haoyuan rushed out of their homes to pick up Tang Ning.
Tangning went to Si Tai and yelled to him, "Dad! Don't be afraid! The card I picked today is called Rejuvenation! I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger!"
Tang Ning changed his driving route and headed towards Si Tai and Li Haoyuan, who were currently closest to him.
The hover car was driving illegally at a high speed, running through eight rainbow lights along the way. The ghosts behind it were chasing it relentlessly. During this time, Tang Ning forcibly rang the soul-calming bell to save his life, and he almost vomited in the car in one second.
Luckily, he had light porridge in the morning. If he were to eat something greasy like fried chicken, Tang Ning would probably vomit right now.
When Tang Ning was about to collapse, Li Haoyuan and Si Taishang, who were riding on a flying carpet, rushed towards Tang Ning and successfully reunited with him.
Tang Ning stared at Si Tai. It seemed that Si Tai's rejuvenation card was working. Now Si Tai looked like a tough old man in his sixties.
The tough old man took the soul-calming bell from Tang Ning and shook it. He didn't faint!
"Dad! What are we going to do now!?"
Tangning didn't hesitate, "Let's go to Xie's house."
He had to go to Xie's house as soon as possible because the ghosts were following him closely. Every moment he delayed would consume some of his props.
It is not advisable for the two old players, Lin Yun and Zhou Kang, to join us. Firstly, their health is not that good, and secondly, they can attract many ghosts themselves.
With Li Haoyuan and Si Tai's help, that's enough.
Although Li Haoyuan does not have any rejuvenation magic, his body has always been very strong and he now looks like a man in his sixties or seventies.
Three elderly men were racing in the sky, occasionally ringing the soul-calming bell, or frantically pasting talismans to exorcise ghosts.
Finally, the three of them arrived at the neighborhood where the Xie family lived.
There was no one standing guard at the entrance to the community, and the gate was covered with layers of fallen leaves, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.
"Huh—those guys finally left." Si Tai said thankfully.
The ghosts that had been chasing Tang Ning and his group from behind the car just disappeared mysteriously.
Li Haoyuan, however, could not relax. He frowned and said, "I have a feeling that the things in this community are scarier than the ghosts chasing us."
Tang Ning looked around but couldn't see anything unusual.
"Beep! Signal abnormality detected! Please reconnect to the signal tower!"
The Internet in the area where the Xie family lives is disconnected, and the smart butler can do nothing about it.
Tangning said solemnly, "In the neighborhood where the Xie family lives, the entire Xie family died in an accident five days ago. I don't know what's inside. You two can leave now. You've already helped me a lot by sending me here."
"I can stay here and continue to help you, Dad." Si Tai touched his face, which became younger and younger. "When I recover to be 30 or 40 years old, I can carry you and run away."
"Mr. Tang, I can help you sense the approximate direction of danger and the approximate safe place," said Li Haoyuan.
None of them planned to leave.
And it can provide Tang Ning with the help that Tang Ning urgently needs now.
"Okay, let's just drive in now." Tang Ning didn't say thank you or not. He gathered his energy and drove first. He had no choice but to go because none of the three people present knew how to drive this high-tech hover car.
Among the three people, Tang Ning had the worst physical fitness. He couldn't walk fast. It was already amazing for an eighty-year-old man to be able to walk after a series of car races.
Li Haoyuan held Tang Ning's left hand, and Si Tai held Tang Ning's right hand. The two of them were like two caring crutches, supporting Tang Ning as she walked into this dead silent neighborhood.
Tang Ning still remembered the amazement he felt when he first came to this community. He remembered that the scenery here was picturesque, and every scene and building seemed to have been specially designed. Even the breeze that blew was particularly elegant.
At this moment, weeds grew wildly all over the ground, ivy covered the faded walls, and a cold and gloomy atmosphere lingered in all directions.
Tang Ning raised his head and looked towards the tall and magnificent ancient tree not far away. The giant tree was a little taller than when he first saw it. It seemed to have been nourished by high-quality fertilizers. Red prayer ribbons were wrapped around each branch, and an especially thick red ribbon was hung on the thickest branch.
A cool breeze blew, and the red ribbons on the tree swayed and rustled, but the holy and warm temperament that it had left on Tang Ning in the past was gone. Instead, it made Tang Ning's scalp tingle.
"Don't get close to that giant tree." Li Haoyuan said in a low voice.
Tangning wanted to look away, but when he glanced at the thickest red ribbon for the last time, his eyes froze. He found that the ribbon was hanging heavily on the branch. While all the ribbons were swaying in the wind, that ribbon was motionless, as if...
Something is hanging on that.
Tang Ning didn't dare to look any further and quickly looked away.
The cold wind was still blowing, making the leaves rustle, as if someone was hiding here and whispering.
Tang Ning was supported by Li Haoyuan and Si Tai and continued to walk forward. After walking for a distance, he saw the river running through the community. He still remembered that when he lived here, Xie's father loved to fish in this clear river. But now the river water had become turbid, and the grass on both sides of the river was dry, without even any weeds.
The fallen leaves floated onto the water surface, and strange ripples appeared in the stagnant water.
"Don't get close to this river." Li Haoyuan said tremblingly.
Tang Ning could feel that Li Haoyuan's hand, which was supporting him, was sweating, and Si Tai, who was standing next to him, was not much better.
They continued to walk forward, trying not to get close to the river, but a cold and damp air seemed to emerge from the ground, like invisible river water flooding Tang Ning's feet. It was so cold that Tang Ning's bones seemed to be frozen. If Li Haoyuan and Si Tai hadn't been supporting him as he walked, Tang Ning would have had difficulty taking a step.
As they walked, Tang Ning saw the Xie family's residence.
This long silent house was covered with moss and ivy. The doors and windows were tightly closed. There was a lot of dirt in front of the door. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be clusters of solidified black blood splashed there
Li Haoyuan's hand that was supporting Tang Ning suddenly froze for a moment.
Tangning looked up and saw a completely skinned, bloodstained white skin hanging in the Xie Family Building. It looked like... the white weasel that the Xie family raised
The entire Xie family loved the stoat very much. The shiny and smooth stoat was now only left with a dull fur.
Tang Ning licked his dry lips and tried his best to stay calm. When he was young, he would just get nervous and his heart would beat faster. But now that he was older, his heart was pounding and he felt like he was having trouble breathing.
Continuing to look elsewhere, Tang Ning soon saw a huge turtle shell hanging in front of the window. The shell was empty, with nothing inside.
The cold wind blew through the empty shell, making a humming sound, as if something was whimpering.
This should be the big and intelligent turtle raised by the Xie family. Little Xie Yunting once joked that this turtle would send him away.
"No...don't..." Li Haoyuan's voice couldn't be any softer. As if he was afraid of disturbing something, he whispered in Tangning's ear, "Come closer to this room."
Tang Ning trusted Li Haoyuan's judgment.
Si Tai, who was standing by, looked younger. He was now about fifty years old. He held Tang Ning's hand tightly, ready to carry Tang Ning and run away at any time.
The three of them turned around as if nothing had happened.
“Squeak—”
The sound of a door opening came from behind.
