"I... I think so too..." Jiang Yi said in a trembling voice, "I think... I think he looks a bit like Tingting..."
I realized then that the traffic policeman did look a bit like a woman. When I looked back, the traffic island was empty. Jiang Yi also screamed, "Where's the traffic policeman?"
I said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, keep driving!"
Wang Shiyu forced herself to drive forward, but soon after, I heard Chen Liu shouting, "Why are we back again? Look at the traffic island, and the traffic policeman, he's still there!"
"That's not a traffic policeman!" Wang Shiyu screamed, and I also tilted my head to look through the windshield. There was indeed a figure standing on the traffic island with a dark yellow glow on the upper body, and at first glance it did look like a traffic policeman.
When the car lights came closer, it was clearly a beautiful woman in dark yellow Hanfu. When she saw us approaching, she suddenly put her hands together on her belly, bent her knees slightly, squatted down, and her eyes that were originally looking at the car also looked at the ground.
"Oh no! Turn around!"
That beautiful lady in Hanfu was clearly using an ancient ritual to greet someone of higher status than herself, but is there anyone else here besides us
Wang Shiyu, who was already frightened silly, came back to her senses after I slapped her hard. She suddenly turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the intersection next to her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car turned the corner, a large truck rushed towards us from the opposite side. The driver of the truck seemed to have not noticed the car in front of him, and he did not even brake, but stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards us.
"ah-"
What I never expected was that Wang Shiyu actually let go of the steering wheel at this critical moment, covered her eyes with both hands and screamed, but her foot not only did not leave the accelerator, but she stepped on it hard.
Just when the two cars were about to collide, Chen Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed the steering wheel and suddenly turned it to the side. The car, which was still rushing forward at high speed, seemed to have its rear wheels leave the ground and suddenly turned sideways in the middle of the road.
Although our car had shifted from its original position, the truck rammed the rear of our car mercilessly, causing our car to spin and rush onto the sidewalk.
I don't know how thrilling the scene must have been when I was outside. I just felt the world spinning in front of my eyes and my whole body was pressed against the car due to the inertia of the car flying outwards.
A moment later, I felt dizzy again, and when a huge crash roared in my ears, my mind became blank. When I woke up, the car had flipped over on the side of the road, and I was lying upside down in the car body.
After I finally climbed out of the car, I pulled Wang Shiyu and the others out one by one.
Before the three of them could recover from their shock, a fire suddenly burst out from the broken street lamp. I watched as sparks like fireworks fell from the sky, and the gasoline leaking on the ground also burst into a dark blue flame. The flames more than a foot high instantly climbed up the upside-down car body.
"Not good!" I pulled Wang Shiyu and Jiang Yi away quickly. After I ran only ten meters, I raised my hand and threw the two of them to the ground. As soon as the three of us landed, there was a loud noise behind us. The red light of the flame flashed in front of my eyes, and the scorching shock wave swept over my head. After the hot pain burned through my back, I stood up and dragged the two away.
At this time, Chen Liu, whose face was covered with dust, also ran over: "Brother, this... this..."
"This is bullshit! Call the police!" All I could think of now was to call the police.
With the cameras at the intersection, the police couldn't fail to find Wang Shiyu's identity. If we escaped now, we would have to hide in a secluded place to avoid the police in less than a night. At that time, let alone looking for someone, we would be lucky if we were not detained in the police station.
The police came quickly and sent the four of us to the hospital. Fortunately, none of us were seriously injured, except for the two girls who were still in shock.
According to the police, the truck was fully responsible for the accident. After taking our statement, the police left us in the hospital.
I waited until the police left before I spoke: "Have you seen the ghost on the traffic island? Is it the Tingting you mentioned?"
"No." Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "That person... I think I have seen that person before. Yes, she was also in the studio shooting the film "Charming Night" that day. Shiyu, we said at that time that her appearance was not as good as Tingting's..."
I turned and looked at Wang Shiyu.
Wang Shiyu was stunned by the question, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "Okay... I think so!"
I frowned and said, "That means there were more than just the four of you who filmed Phantom Flame?"
"Should... should be!" Wang Shiyu said carefully, "At that time, we didn't stay in the studio for long."
I nodded and said, "Can you guys still walk? Hurry up and get up, let's go to the studio."
Chen Liu was shocked: "Are you still going? Brother, we almost died. If we go there again, we will definitely..."
"No! Let's go now!" I said in a deep voice, "We are in the hospital now, and we don't know what will happen. Let's leave here quickly to avoid any more trouble."
The hospital is a place where the living and the dead coexist, and life and death are constantly alternating here. The dead are reluctant to leave, and the living may not be able to come smoothly. Coupled with the lingering disease, it is one of the places most likely to be haunted.
Many people don't take this seriously, and doctors won't speak out about the secrets. However, if you look closely, you'll find that in hospitals that focus on traditional Chinese medicine, there are portraits or sculptures of doctors from past dynasties, which is equivalent to the protection of the ancestors; even in purely Western medicine hospitals, rockeries or stones are added when building gardens, in order to prevent the dead from staying in the hospital for a long time.
We have already offended the ghosts. If we stay any longer, we will easily attract ghosts that should not be offended.
The two girls didn't know the pros and cons of this, but Chen Liu knew it very well: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly."
When the two girls saw Chen Liu's face suddenly change, they also became scared. They quickly packed up their things, followed us around the nurses' station, and slipped out through the safety passage.
As soon as I went down one flight of stairs, I saw a person squatting next to the security door. She was wearing a hospital uniform, hugging her knees with her hands, squatting next to the security door with her head down. The light coming through the crack in the door just illuminated half of her head. At first glance, it seemed as if she deliberately hid her body in the shadows, with only the top of her head exposed.
Jiang Yi, who was walking behind me, suddenly grabbed my arm and said in a trembling voice: "That...that person..."
"Ignore her, keep going!" I walked to the corner of the stairs, stomped my feet twice, and stepped in front of the man. Wang Shiyu and the other three continued to move down the stairs, following the handrails, and I was the last one to go down the stairs.
Before I got halfway there, I heard Jiang Yi screaming, "She...she's in front!"
After I jumped down the stairs, I saw the figure squatting by the security door on the next floor.
This time, the light and shadow in the crack of the door became more obvious, and the dark yellow beam was like a long knife across the man's neck. The man looked like a condemned prisoner who had just been beheaded - the long knife cut the man's neck, and the head had already left the body but had not yet fallen to the ground. Some force froze the head in the moment it flew up.
The two girls were so scared that they wanted to run back, but I held them back with my hand: "Keep walking, walk like you did just now, quickly!"
When I blocked the man again, I stomped on the ground three times. This time, the soles of my shoes made a murderous sound, but the man remained indifferent.
I stamped my feet not to scare the other person, but it was according to the rules of the art.
Many people think that sorcerers and ghosts are in opposition, but this is not the case. The world is originally divided into yin and yang, and humans and ghosts coexist.
If ghosts disturb the living, the sorcerer can kill them, because the purpose of the sorcerer's existence is to protect the living. On the contrary, if the sorcerer kills ghosts without reason, he will also be severely punished by the underworld.
Therefore, when a sorcerer encounters a wandering ghost, he usually does not try to catch the ghost for no reason. Instead, he sends them some kind of signal, telling them: We each go our separate ways.
The first time I stamped my feet, that was all I meant. But the ghost followed me again, which was a taboo for the sorcerer, so my stamping of my feet this time naturally carried a warning meaning.
After the three of them walked down the stairs, I shouted, "Wait!"
Jiang Yi suddenly turned around and screamed, "The person behind you... the person behind you is gone!"
I naturally knew that the ghost behind me was gone: "Don't be afraid, I'll go ahead."
I walked past the three people and headed down the stairs. This time, the figure didn't show up. I waved to them to go ahead. When the three people turned around the stairs, the security door beside me suddenly opened halfway, and the ghost in the hospital gown suddenly stuck half of his body out of the door and reached out to grab my shoulder.
I wanted to hide, but I stopped at the last second, letting the opponent's claws press on my shoulders. The moment the opponent's five fingers suddenly clasped my shoulders, a charcoal-like explosion suddenly burst out from her palms, and five streams of black smoke came out from her fingertips at the same time.
This female ghost must be a new ghost and she doesn't know that ghosts cannot touch warlocks at will.
Because ghosts can pass through walls and come and go without a trace, people who slay ghosts and demons must be on guard against sneak attacks from ghosts at all times. Just like the Taoist robes and monks' cassocks, they are actually part of the magic tools to prevent sneak attacks from ghosts. Although sorcerers do not have these things, they will also place talismans on the inside of their clothes, but the effect is much worse than cassocks and Taoist robes. (To be continued)
