Jiang Ji took out his cell phone and looked at it. The signal had been blocked and the battery was about to run out.
The street in front of me is rugged and uneven, only wide enough for one car to pass through, and is not a straight and smooth road.
The low houses are scattered around, standing without any aesthetic appeal. This long and quiet street is like a poisonous snake coiling forward and sinking into the darkness.
The buildings on both sides are quite old, generally one or two stories high, with most of the bricks and tiles broken and damaged, and the wind whistles through the halls. Only a few buildings far away are brand new, and are relatively rare three-story buildings.
The common point of these houses is that they all have white lanterns hanging in front of the doors. The buildings in the distance are dotted with these lanterns, and blurry and bleak light and shadow appear on the gray walls, giving off a sense of desolation and shabbiness as if no one lives there.
There are only a few houses with bright red lanterns hanging by the doors, looking like bloodshot eyeballs among the white lanterns.
Quiet, peaceful and deserted.
The Shangshan County town late at night was like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
She demonstrated with her own body, and Ajin should have guessed by now that the ghost sedan chair is the key to entering the ghost realm.
The ghost sedan chair will pick up the young girls chosen by the ghost woman’s family and enter the dead and silent county town shrouded in curse.
Shangshan County is isolated from information, and most of the young people here work outside. Those who go out rarely come back, so the weirdness here can only be discovered through family tree, starting from the neighbors, relatives, and family members they know.
Fang Mi has been tricked back, and Fang He is also in danger now.
It was a dark night and the windows on both sides creaked in the wind, as if urging her to leave quickly.
The ghost realm is an independent space. It may be a cold winter outside, but it is a hot summer in the ghost realm. If it were daytime, it would be fine. The taboo in Shangshan County is not to go out after dark. Now it is late at night.
Jiang Ji got up from the ground and brushed the dust off his clothes.
The more troublesome thing now is that her mental energy has been completely consumed by the frequent triggering of her "precognitive" ability just now.
Without mental power, she couldn't use her supernatural powers, nor could she awaken the magic mirror. She could only take one step at a time.
Jiang Ji had no regrets. At the critical moment, she did not hesitate to get involved in the ghost story again. It was not entirely out of reluctance to lose a life, but also because she chatted about the pleasant experiences along the way on the train.
This world has people, ghosts, and gods.
Ghost stories are born from human fear, sucking human life and negative emotions to grow stronger. Humans seem weak, but they are connected to all things. So is human faith a wisp of fireworks that creates gods?
Creatures from higher dimensions are watching this world and fiddling with the fate of mankind. If she wants to become the savior of mankind, or the so-called god in this comic world, and let the will of this world recognize her and remove the many restrictions on her, she must do something.
Jiang Ji picked up the Scepter of Poseidon and began to search along the winding street. She planned to first look at the houses with red lanterns.
There were only a few families hanging red lanterns, and Fang He was the bride getting married tonight, so it was easy to tell her apart.
She felt in her pocket and found Fang He's cell phone was still there. Before the signal was completely gone, she received a text message from "husband".
Not long after Fang He’s boyfriend ended the call, he sent her other taboos about Shangshan County.
1. Remember, remember, remember!! Never go out at night.
2. If you must go out, remember not to knock on other people's doors, even if it's your neighbors! Don't respond to anyone calling your name. If you feel that someone is watching you, don't look for the source of the gaze.
3. When you see a wedding procession at night, never look at the bride's face.
4. If you see a man and a woman with red ropes tied around their wrists on the street, do not look them in the eye.
5. If someone asks you about your birth date on the street, don't answer.
6. If the couple is getting married at night, they must paste red window paper-cuts on the door and hang big red lanterns.
7. Don't go near any well.
8. Don't get close to the coffins parked in the yard.
9. Do not approach a house that has red lanterns, but if you are invited in for a drink by someone celebrating a wedding, do not reject their kindness.
10. If the big red lantern goes out, you must escape from the house as soon as possible and hide so as not to be discovered by them!!!
There are densely packed small characters on the phone, and it takes several swipes to read them all, which makes my eyes tired.
There are really a lot of taboos here, ten in total, which makes Jiang Ji feel like he is dreaming about strange rules and regulations.
At the end of the text message, Fang He’s boyfriend said that it was not over yet, he was still trying to recall, and would send it back when he thought of it.
Jiang Ji: ...
Okay, that's about it.
She took a look and memorized the ten taboos.
These roads are more like dirt roads in the village than streets.
Jiang Ji walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, carefully avoiding the potholes with sewage. There were a lot of paper money on the street, as if a funeral had just been held, and he kept stepping on unburned paper money.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
This deserted county town has no shortage of light. The white lanterns look like human heads swaying happily in the rushing wind.
In the most conspicuous places of the houses and cottages built along the street, every household has a dilapidated coffin parked. Some of these coffins are completely closed, while others are only half closed.
The wind blew in, making a whimpering sound, as if something was crying.
Jiang Ji walked for such a long time and only passed by two or three wells, all of which were behind the houses, next to the old locust trees.
The shadows of the trees were mottled, and from a distance it looked like someone was standing there.
The first house with red lanterns was only about four or five hundred meters away. She walked around along this road for more than ten minutes and felt that she was getting farther and farther away from her destination.
Another ghost wall? It's endless, right?
Jiang Ji was getting a little impatient. These guys didn't show up but were secretly making trouble.
"My old friend," she consulted with the scepter in her hand, "you are omnipotent and can obviously help me guide the way, right?"
"See the one with the red lantern in front? I will throw you up and then drop you on the ground. The direction you point is the way I'm going. You should know the consequences of giving wrong instructions, right?" The last two words were full of threats.
Unequal sea god power
