"What are you going to the crossroads for?" Shi Yan was still a little unresponsive, but seeing Chu Xiu suddenly realize and follow him, she jogged a few steps and followed him.

Wen Qing didn't know what was going on, so he followed subconsciously. Shi Yan wanted to tell him not to follow, but Lu Yanli turned around and said, "Follow me!"

Twelve corpses, one is still missing. Now it seems that the game of hide-and-seek has given them a clue. The screams and lights provide the location of the "ghost", and there is another more obscure hint: if they are caught by the ghost, they will become "ghosts".

Therefore, as long as Wen Qing was caught, she would be in great danger.

Shi Yan ran among the four people and sent an urgent message to Nie Yunzhen, asking her to come quickly.

After sending the message, she felt that she had done her duty and hurried to catch up.

The crossroads was a little far from here. Even if we ran at our fastest speed, we would reach it in just a few minutes. As we ran along the road, the singing in the forest suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling breath erupted, sweeping across the entire forest.

The game time is up and the rules that restrict ghosts are completely invalid.

Their pace became faster and faster, and they almost ran forward for their lives. If they were a second slower, they might lose their lives.

Finally, a crossroads appeared vaguely in front of my eyes. Three cars collided with each other. The front of the car was severely dented, and the four bones in the car were still there.

Twenty-four bodies mysteriously disappeared from the police station. Perhaps the reason for their disappearance was to let them play hide-and-seek, right

It corresponds.

The four skeletons on the three cars represent the twelve bones of the students, a total of twenty-four!

‌,‌Yes, now there is another question…

Lu Yanli turned back suddenly.

At the end of the four roads, there were figures in school uniforms walking towards us.

Which car are you from, really

Or maybe both

"Hurry up! Get those bones down!"

Needless to say, Shi Yan and Chu Xiu had already rushed over to break open the car windows and doors. They both carried small metal knives with them, and each of them used one to forcefully cut the glass and take out the bones inside.

Lu Yanli didn't have any tools with him, so he picked up a brick from the roadside. Not caring if he would get hurt, he used his elbow to shield his face and smashed it hard against the glass window!

“Crash!”

The glass shattered all over the ground, a few pieces of flying glass pierced the back of his hand, and some scratched his forehead, but he didn't care. He continued to pick up stones to smash the remaining glass, and then quickly pulled out the two corpses in the front seat.

Sure enough, the four skeletons matched their identities, and their clothes were all the same. Lu Yanli thought of something, reached out, and took out a poker card from one of the skeletons.

This is the way out!

Suddenly catching a glimpse of something, Lu Yanli turned around abruptly, and threw the stone in his hand, which was as big as a double hand, at a pale-faced student.

Its body turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, but soon, the wisp of green smoke condensed into shape again, and the face that condensed this time was even more hideous and terrifying than before!

Just now it wanted to attack Wen Qing, but was interrupted. At the moment it was smashed, Wen Qing found the right opportunity to run to Lu Yanli, and then handed her a skeleton and asked her to hold it. The skeleton was very light and cold to the touch, and she didn't know why the other party asked her to hold it, but seeing that the other two people did the same, she held the skeleton and let it go, forcing herself to calm down.

etc!

Something seems to be wrong.

Wen Qing lowered her head and carefully identified the clothes on the skeleton. It was dark, but after adapting to the darkness, she could still vaguely recognize that the clothes worn by the skeleton in her arms were exactly the same as the clothes worn by the other man who was smashing the window!

What on earth is going on

Her heart started beating violently.

Could it be... that this man is also a ghost?!

This thought made Wen Qing feel cold all over. She wanted to run away, but it was too late. Another figure in school uniform slowly approached her.

‌ Yun Qian.

Even though her face had turned pale and her eye sockets were pitch black, she could still recognize Yun Qian's figure.

She stood frozen in place, unable to move, and could only watch Yun Qian walk towards her step by step.

Behind her, Lu Yanli was holding three corpses in one hand. Wen Qing sensed the breathing of a living person, as well as the warmth coming from his body, which somewhat relieved her mind.

Yun Qian had already walked in front of him. She tilted her head and revealed a strange and twisted smile.

"Found another one."

After saying that, she stretched out a pale hand and slowly moved it towards Wen Qing's face.

Just when the sharp and skinny hand was about to reach his face, Wen Qing suddenly had an epiphany and understood the function of the bones.

She took out a poker card representing her identity from her pocket, then lifted up the skeleton's head and placed it under Yun Qian's palm.

Yun Qian paused.

Wen Qing could even smell a rotten smell coming from the other person, as if it came from deep underground. She froze in place, her heart beating like a drum, and she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

Please, you must... You must be able to do it!

After what seemed like half a century, Yun Qian finally continued to move.

The smile on her face grew wider, and in the look of Wen Qing's fear and forced calmness, one hand slowly stretched forward... and fell on the bones.

With a click.

The white bones of the skull were shattered.

Then, she turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.

Wen Qing was left alone, still maintaining the lifting posture, with his other hand clutching a playing card. The taut string suddenly relaxed, and he gasped heavily.

The same thing happened to the others, and the ghosts present grabbed a skeleton one by one and then disappeared. This made them understand more clearly that they had obviously found a way to survive.

Who could have imagined that yesterday's dead end would lead to today's way out

However, when the last student grabbed the bones and disappeared, there were only two bones left.

"Oh no! It must be going after Nie Yunzhen!" Shi Yan's face changed drastically.

No matter how she reminded them, everyone thought of this problem. Even Chu Xiu, who usually didn't care too much about his teammates, felt a little headache.

It wouldn't matter under normal circumstances, but this mission was obviously very special. It was an endless cycle of life and death. If you weren't careful, you would find yourself in a dead end. So naturally, you hoped that the other party was okay.

Otherwise, it would be life and death, very troublesome.

Lu Yanli was relieved, thinking that he would not be in danger for the time being, and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

I don’t know if the swarm of corpse bugs are still waiting. If the crisis in the Netherworld Road is resolved, I wouldn’t mind staying for a while longer.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Mr. Nie Yunzhen must become a ghost.

Chu Xiu said: "Let's go back to the car now and wait there. If he hasn't come by the time, then..."

Anyway, there are two skeletons at hand, so it doesn’t matter if the ghost kills the other party, as it can offset the damage.

At this time, he was glad that Wen Qing survived, otherwise he would have to carry the bones to find Nie Yunzhen to prevent himself from becoming a new ghost. By then, the number of bones would not be enough.

Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked.

Was this considered a good thing for Lu Yanli? He was prepared to take a risk, so he had kept Wen Qing from the beginning.

Looking away, Lu Yanli and Wen Qing were chatting. Chu Xiu was suspicious and looked at them frequently, but Lu Yanli did not even raise his head, obviously having no intention of explaining.

Chu Xiu and Lu Yanli each carried two corpses and walked back. After a while, the front gradually became brighter and they came into the range of the car lights.

Just one minute before they were about to get on the bus, they heard footsteps in the distance, accompanied by rapid breathing. When they got closer, they easily made out a figure.

‌Nie Yunzhen!

‌ is not dead

This discovery surprised all three of them, but no one showed it to avoid trouble.

"I finally found you guys, it's all good, by the way, have you found a way to survive?" Nie Yunzhen thought for a long time after receiving the news, and thought it must be true, so he hurried over. Fortunately, there were no ghosts chasing him along the way.

Chu Xiu nodded and told Lu Yanli what he had inferred. At the same time, he secretly looked at Nie Yunzhen, trying to find some clues to prove his identity.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Nie Yunzhen was surprised.

Chu Xiu didn't notice anything. The other party was no different from usual. Finally, he made way and said, "Let's go, get in the car."

Just as he said the last word, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the car and grabbed Wen Qing's ankle tightly. Then, another hand pulled hard and pulled Wen Qing under the car.

Wen Qing didn't even have time to scream. When everyone came to their senses, Wen Qing had disappeared.

The sudden ghost attack startled everyone, and everyone turned their heads to see if there was a ghost behind them. Chu Xiu calmed his pounding heart, slowly squatted down, and turned on the flashlight on his phone to shine under the car.

There was nothing under the car.

Wen Qing just disappeared like that. In the end, they still failed to save Wen Qing's life.

After carefully checking the inside and outside of the car again and making sure there was no danger, the four people hurriedly got into the car and prepared to leave, carrying the two skeletons.

"Now can you tell me why you suddenly came to Yinming Road?" Chu Xiu typed a line of words on the memo of his mobile phone and handed it to Lu Yanli to see.

It is definitely impossible for the other party to come here for no reason, and judging from the way he just arrived, it seemed that he was forced to come here by something.

Why are you going through the dark road

Lu Yanli turned his head and looked out the window.

It was still pitch black outside the window, but this kind of darkness seemed particularly familiar compared to the overwhelming black and shiny corpse worms.

"Because of corpse worms." He spoke without typing.

Chu Xiu felt that he had heard wrongly: "What? Corpse worms?"

"Because of the corpse worms. I was nearly drowned by the corpse worms when I was staying at the hotel, so I came in this direction."

The corners of Chu Xiu's lips twitched slightly, and he had already imagined the scene.

So, you actually came here with the mentality of chasing away tigers and wolves

"Are you afraid that these two kinds of weirdness will join forces to deal with us?" If that were the case, we would definitely not be able to escape.

Lu Yanli was actually somewhat confident, but he couldn't tell the clues. Hearing this, he leaned back and said, "I will." Then he changed the subject, "Do you still want to play games?"

"This is the last one." Chu Xiu read out the task content word by word as if it was engraved in his heart.

"After midnight, arrive at the teaching building of No. 4 Middle School in xx City, hold a mirror in your hand, and point your face at the mirror. Every time you walk up a step, call your name in front of the mirror. After walking up four floors, the game can end at any time. If you need to end the game, bite your finger, write your name on the mirror with your fingertip blood, and immediately run downstairs. Don't look back and look in the mirror. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"Also, while playing the game, no matter what you see or hear, you must agree and turn back."

Shi Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, let out a light exclamation.

"The students we were looking for before were from this school."

Lu Yanli didn't care and his fingertips flicked slightly on the armrest.

I am considering whether I should accompany you on the adventure on the last day

Chu Xiu has become a chess piece of yours, and will be responsible for collecting information about the Church of the Omniscient God for you in the future. This game happens to contain some information about this religion.

Are there any secrets in this school

Or maybe the secret lies with Wen Qing alone? Otherwise it would be hard to explain the time and space turbulence of the past few days. Until now, it was hard to determine whether these people were still experiencing death again and again in the hotel in another time and space.

While thinking, Chu Xiu suddenly stepped on the brakes, and Lu Yanli fell forward unexpectedly. "What happened?"

"I think I hit something." Chu Xiu gripped the steering wheel tightly.

No one would come to Yinming Road at night, so the thing I just bumped into...

I had to ask again. Under the illumination of the car lights, I saw a pair of pale, naked feet slowly hanging down from above, hanging in front of the glass window, swaying gently in the wind.

The expressions of the four people in the car changed drastically!
