The World Below Surface

Chapter 52

Views:

The moment the pair of pale feet appeared, the lights in the car went out and the temperature dropped sharply.

Shi Yan's heart sank.

The performance of the other ghosts just now inevitably made her feel a little relaxed, but she never expected that such a crisis would arise just when they were about to escape.

"What should we do? Is this Wen Qing?" The two people in the front seat were silent, so Shi Yansheng asked.

There are only two skeletons in the car, who knows who will be captured

"Yes." A voice came from the front row.

Shi Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Whose voice is this

The next second, the world was spinning. When Shi Yan opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find herself in a strange yet familiar car.

What made her even more horrified was that sitting on the other seats were… three pale skeletons! At the same time, a glaring light shone from the opposite side.

She actually returned to the car she was in last night!

On the opposite side, an identical car came straight at them, and neither car had any intention of braking.

Shi Yan was going crazy. She had no idea what was going on. She recalled the experience Lu Yanli had taught her and tried to see the reflection on the opposite car window. However, the light was so bright that she couldn't see clearly. She just felt that the four cars didn't seem fake.

Shi Yan dodged the skeleton that was falling towards her due to the bumpy ride and opened the car door with force.

Unexpectedly, she actually opened the car door. The strong wind whistled in her ears, and Shi Yan hesitated.

This car speed jumps down...

The headlights were blinding, so she didn't see that in the car that hit them from the opposite direction, Nie Yunzhen was sitting in the driver's seat, and there were three skeletons in the other seats. Her hands were also on the door handle, pushing it open with force, and she was only hesitating whether to jump out of the car.

Everything happened too fast. Like Shi Yan, he was confused. He wanted to convince himself that it was the ghost girl's fault, but he always felt that something was wrong.

The same thing happened to Chu Xiu and Lu Yanli. The four of them actually transferred to four identical cars at the same time in an instant, and these four cars were about to collide!

The worst thing was that four people were sitting in the driver's seat, and if they were hit, they would either die or be injured.

Why… is this happening

Even if the game of hide-and-seek was not completed, all four people should not have returned to the car. There were people in all four cars, and it was difficult to tell which direction was illusory.

In a flash, Lu Yanli suddenly realized something and was startled.

This was not caused by Wen Qing! Because the other ghosts in the hide-and-seek game only wanted one person's body.

This dead end is specially set up for you!

His hand also grasped the door handle and pushed it open with force.

It turned out that they didn't even see through such a simple lie, or rather, they were all bewitched by the ghost and no one noticed anything was wrong.

Of the four cars that collided at the intersection the day before, one was a fake and the other was theirs, so there should have been only two cars that collided, so why was there one more? Even the body count at the police station was correct.

Because that car is the dead end now! If we had realized this earlier, we would have been able to see through the problem with the third car, but now, everything is too late.

The moment the car door opened, the strong evening breeze blew in. Lu Yanli unbuckled his seat belt, grabbed the skeleton on the passenger seat and held it in his arms, then quickly got into the back seat.

To Chu Xiu's surprise, Lu Yanli did not jump out of the car. His behavior made Chu Xiu stop when he was about to open the car door. He used the last few seconds to also move to the back seat with the skeleton.

Lu Yanli grabbed a few cold corpses tightly and huddled in the back seat, waiting. He didn't know what his end would be, or whether that man was going to take his life, but he had already done everything he could.

With a loud bang, the four cars collided with each other violently, and the front of the car was dented for a large part. Lu Yanli hit the back of the chair uncontrollably, then rolled forward and fell into the pile of deformed protruding metal.

There was a skeleton under his body, which took most of the piercing attacks from the sharp metal frame. The roof of the car was also dented and almost pierced his back.

The fuel tank was leaking with a hiss, and a small fire had already started, which would soon cause an explosion. Lu Yanli was stuck in the middle of the car, and it was difficult for him to escape.

But he is still alive.

Lu Yanli took a deep breath to relieve the pain in his body.

I'm alive.

‌ comforted himself in this way and quickly calmed down. The upper part of his body was stuck between the skull and the car parts, making it difficult for him to reach out. He tried to reach the door handle with his toes and pressed it down. After trying several times, he finally heard a "click" sound, and then the door was kicked open with force, and ‌ got out of the car quickly.

Just as Lu Yanli was about to leave, a cry for help came from the other side. Like him, Chu Xiu was stuck and couldn't open the car door. He saw someone escape from the car through a small gap and immediately called for help.

Nie Yunzhen and Shi Yan both chose to jump out of the car. The former fell to the ground covered in blood, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive. The latter was better because she was holding a skeleton to reduce the impact, so she could stand up and walk. She also heard Chu Xiu's cry for help and limped over.

But... just as she stood up straight, a hemp rope suddenly dropped from the treetop nearby. It was too dark and she could not see clearly. She walked closer to the rope loop unconsciously and her chin just touched it.

The hemp rope tightened immediately, grabbed her neck and pulled her up. Shi Yan didn't even have time to call for help, and she was hanging on the tree. When she looked closely, she realized that it was not a hemp rope at all, but a cold and slippery arm.

The hand that was pinching Shi Yan's neck exerted a little force, and Shi Yan's head drooped softly, motionless.

"Found another one." A cold and hoarse voice came from nowhere, and then the arm turned into smoke. Shi Yan's body fell to the ground.

Lu Yanli took a look and then withdrew his gaze indifferently, running towards Chu Xiu quickly.

Just as he thought, even if Shi Yan survived the car accident, he would die from other reasons.

Chu Xiu was much better than Nie Yunzhen, who was lying on the ground covered in blood. At least his upper body could move freely, but his legs were stuck somewhere and he couldn't get out. Lu Yanli didn't care about that. He took out the gun from the other person and opened the safety bolt. He fired two shots at another closed car door, and then pulled hard. The door finally opened and he could see the other person's situation clearly.

One of the skeletons was smashed into two pieces, just stuck in Chu Xiu's leg, and the bone that had pierced into the other's calf was stuck in the gap of the car door. The bone tilted as Lu Yanli pulled the door roughly, and the wound area became larger.

Lu Yanli didn't care. He pulled out the bones in one go, blood gushing out. He heard Chu Xiu groan in pain, and said "bear it" without any guilt. He went around to the other side, dragged the man out, and left quickly with him.

Chu Xiu did not dare to complain as he was dragged along the ground without dignity. He could naturally see that Lu Yanli was also injured, and he was lucky enough to be able to carry him. So he endured the pain and acted as a qualified sack, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground behind him.

Fortunately, after Lu Yanli dragged the people away twenty or thirty meters, the four cars exploded simultaneously. The rising flames illuminated most of the suburbs. The huge impact force created a heat wave, and many trees caught fire.

Lu Yanli took a deep breath.

It seems that the wish I made to him is still valid and I won't die for the time being.

"Oh no! Let's get out of here quickly!" Chu Xiu panicked.

A forest fire is no joke. Chu Xiu grabbed Lu Yanli and begged, "You should have driven here, right? Please."

I vaguely feel that there are things about me that the other party can use that are worth using. At least the other party doesn't mind lending a hand when it comes to saving me.

Lu Yanli replied: "But I can't drag you two."

The implication was that he should give up on the unconscious Nie Yunzhen.

Lu Yanli was forcing him to make a choice.

He would not tell Chu Xiu that the wish he made to the so-called man was that he would not die before finding out all the truth. Therefore, he was only slightly injured, the vehicle exploded late, and he drove back alone to pick people up, and most likely there would be no forest fire.

Chu Xiu was silent for a few seconds and nodded firmly.

There is only one day left in the seven-day supernatural game, and the game on this last day does not require too many people.

He didn't look at Nie Yunzhen, who had been through life and death with him a few days ago, and barely supported himself: "Please, if you have any request, I will do my best to complete it."

"Very good, I keep my word." Lu Yanli carried the person and ran out.

He still remembered where he parked his car, and after driving for a while, he slowed down and quickly found the car. He put Chu Xiu in the passenger seat, got in the car quickly, and stepped on the accelerator.

"Aren't you hurt?" Chu Xiu was jostled along the way and was too panicked to speak. But when he saw that he could run and jump while being carried by others, he felt that he was deceived.

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Lu Yanli's mouth. He glanced at Chu Xiu lightly and wiped off the red without caring: "I just suffered internal injuries."

Chu Xiu: ... I dare not speak, I can only express my gratitude.

"I wonder if those corpse worms are still there." Lu Yanli sighed heavily, but resigned himself to his fate and stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

"Let's talk about this question later. I still have a question." Chu Xiu asked curiously, "You said earlier that 24 bodies were missing from the city police station, 12 of which should belong to students, and the remaining 12 had exactly the same test results, so you suspect that they might be us."

"But there was a four-car crash that night, one of which was a fake, and the car we were riding in left. Why were there still three cars at the scene?"

It was such a simple question, but everyone seemed to be blinded by something. No one figured it out, and no one raised any doubts, which led to changes in such a simple game of hide-and-seek.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn't help but shudder.

Is this the terrifying part behind the mission? It confused their minds without them realizing it. They all said that the mission required them to find a way out, but the mission blinded them in front of the way out.

Lu Yanli said as he drove: "In fact, I only realized something was wrong not long ago. I don't know when the extra car and the corpse in the car appeared."

I'm not lying, the weirdness is usually illogical, but there are one or two clues left where the logic breaks down. This is the real difficulty of the task. Because you never know which weirdness has a pattern behind it and which weirdness appears randomly.

He looked like he really didn’t understand. Chu Xiu wanted to ask again, but the scene reflected in the rearview mirror made him instantly forget what he was going to say.

Behind them, a raging fire suddenly rose up, a fiery red color dyed half of the dark night bright, and the flames shot up into the sky.

Lu Yanli stepped on the accelerator hard and drove out faster.

Just a few dozen meters behind the car was a sea of fire sweeping along the dead trees on both sides. It spread faster and faster, and the flames almost licked the rear of the car.

The two people in the car could feel the scorching air outside, and the speed of the car had risen to the highest speed without limit. Fortunately, they did not get into a car accident and were not buried in the sea of fire.

Just before the flames completely engulfed the entire Yinming Road area, a small car rushed out.

Then, they saw that the huge waves of fire seemed to be shrouded in the forest by something, as if covered by an invisible glass cover, which restricted the huge waves to a certain range.

Chu Xiu didn't understand why, so he could only temporarily blame the abnormality on the mission. Lu Yanli watched everything that happened through the rearview mirror, his eyes slightly cold.

‌ Got it, this is the credit of that “‌”.

Without saying anything, he slowed down and drove in the deep and quiet night.

Below the collarbone covered by the collar, there is a bright red mark, an inverted cross and a seven-pointed star, so red that it seems to drip blood.
