Chapter 32 Meng Xiaodong: The Manifestation of Fear
Chapter 32 Meng Xiaodong: The Manifestation of Fear
"Captain Chu, it seems things aren't looking good..."
Cheng Hao looked embarrassed, and as he spoke, he subconsciously used his supernatural abilities.
It was a tattoo branded onto his neck.
The tattoo depicts a woman, with half of her head protruding from Cheng Hao's skin.
"A tattooed ghost?"
Chu Mo remained expressionless. Since the two people couldn't see the ghost, no matter how strong the supernatural force was, it wouldn't work.
As they drew closer to the path, it gradually became completely blocked, leaving only a muddy and crowded narrow path through the reeds.
Chu Mo casually tossed out a stack of talismans, which, under the influence of the ghost domain, all landed on the straw-cloaked ghost blocking his path.
The supernatural trigger of the stolen talisman.
The foul-smelling bodily fluids dripped from Chu Mo's body, and at the same time, a raincoat that looked like it was woven from the hair of a dead person was suddenly stuck to his mourning clothes.
"There are only two kinds of supernatural phenomena... Doesn't the reed path belong to this ghost's puzzle?"
Chu Mo originally thought he could steal the supernatural elements belonging to Xiao Lu from this ghost, thus opening a new path to leave.
Now it seems I was overthinking things.
The eerie presence of the talisman paper was suppressed, and at the same time, strands of viscous blood seeped out from the paper.
Under the combined suppression of the ghost blood and the ghost talisman, the newly appeared straw raincoat ghost instantly lost its ability to move.
Strangely, although the ghost was clearly suppressed, as time went on, its form changed to resemble the last victim of the Zhongzhou Club.
This ghost seems to be able to transfer its attacks onto the person it has killed, much like the folk tale of a water ghost seeking a substitute.
New footsteps approached, and the straw-cloaked ghost appeared before the three once more.
"This is indeed a bit tricky."
Chu Mo shifted his gaze to the left, ignoring the newly appeared straw-cloaked ghost, and quickly headed into the depths of the reeds.
The path we came from is blocked by supernatural forces, and now even if we don't want to go deeper, we have no choice but to go.
He gestured for the two to follow.
However, Yan Li and Cheng Hao stood there stunned, showing no reaction to what he had said.
Ok?
Chu Mo stopped and walked back to him. The two of them seemed not to see him and stood there looking around.
"Yan Li, as Captain Chu's partner, he wouldn't abandon you and run away, would he?"
Cheng Hao's expression was somewhat grim. Even though the ghost on his tattoo had resisted the erosion, this was not a long-term solution.
Human abilities are ultimately limited, and he didn't want to waste the supernatural power within him until he recovered.
"Brother Chu isn't that kind of person; he's probably just run into some trouble."
His stern gaze was firm. Although he knew very little about Chu Mo, his intuition and the feelings he had developed over the past few days told him that the other party never fought a battle he was not confident of winning.
"Let's hope so, otherwise we're really doomed."
The two remained where they were, even more hesitant to venture further into the reed path, unsure of the ghost's location.
Through the conversation, Chu Mo became certain that his existence, like that of the straw raincoat ghost, had been stripped from Yan Li and Cheng Hao's sight.
What is the principle behind this?
"Nothing unusual happened after the alley appeared. Did I overlook some detail?"
As Chu Mo thought this, he scattered another handful of talismans.
If it's just that one's own existence is stripped away, then what about the supernatural?
Unfortunately, the two still didn't notice until the yellow paper hit the ground.
Seeing that it wasn't working, Chu Mo had no choice but to give up for the time being.
Just then, Yan Li and Cheng Hao seemed to have noticed something, and they both turned their heads towards Chu Mo at the same time.
But Chu Mo knew that the other person's gaze was not focused on him, but rather on the end of the reed path behind them.
Under the stern gaze, a very familiar figure emerged from the depths of the path.
"Ye Feng, Zhang Han, what are you doing here?"
Yan Li was filled with surprise and doubt, staring intently at the two people who had appeared, while also being completely baffled by the situation.
Even though I'm in Zhongzhou City, and I've already been expelled from the Xiaoqiang Club, they couldn't possibly have chased me here, right?
However, another figure appeared immediately afterward.
"Ye Jun, you...you're still alive?!"
"Of course I'm not dead. Not only am I not dead, but I'm going to make you taste what it's like to be buried alive."
Ye Jun revealed a sinister smile.
At the same time, Ye Feng waved his hand, and a straw rope appeared out of thin air, looping around Yan Li's neck and suspending him.
On the other hand, Cheng Hao saw a completely different scene.
In his line of sight, there was only a middle-aged man wearing a mink coat and smoking a cigar.
This is Wang Jincai, chairman of Zhongzhou Club.
"Cheng Hao, I heard you hired an outside helper to Zhongzhou City, and even killed two of my employees as soon as they arrived. What, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Wang Jincai squinted, watching the increasing number of figures behind him, until finally his gaze settled.
They are all key members of the Zhongzhou Club.
Chu Mo couldn't see the situation the two were facing, but he understood a thing or two from their conversation.
He couldn't help but recall the text that Chen Yousheng had added to the file.
Never venture into the paths that appear within the reeds; they will awaken the deepest fears within the living. Remember, if you encounter one, you must leave, or you will become completely lost!
"Even I can't intervene in this situation. The only way to break the deadlock is to address the problem at its root."
Chu Mo turned his gaze back to the end of the path.
At that moment, a scene that only he could see appeared in the reeds.
It was an old bus with its doors open.
An old woman got off the car at that moment.
"Just what I feared most has happened..."
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Because the old woman who got off the bus was none other than Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China whom he had met when he rode the haunted bus.
But Chu Mo knew very well that the other party could not be the real Meng Xiaodong.
It's nothing more than a product replicated by the supernatural. As for how much of Meng Xiaodong's abilities it possesses, we'll only know after we fight it.
"Young man, I've been looking for her all along, but I never imagined you'd run off with her. Take my advice: what doesn't belong to you should be returned as soon as possible, lest you harm yourself and others."
As Meng Xiaodong spoke, his supernatural powers suddenly erupted.
Chu Mo could feel his body slow down in an instant and gradually turn into a withering gray-white.
"They're using unlimited intrusion right from the start; they really aren't planning to leave me any way out."
The supernatural abilities possessed by the other party can be used to invade and replace living people. Once the person being attacked is completely replaced by Meng Xiaodong, the other party will also disappear from this world forever.
The most troublesome thing is that this guy's attack comes from the past, and we can't interfere with it using current methods.
If they couldn't handle this kind of attack in the past, then they would just have to wait to die.
After all, how can someone without a past have a future?
At this moment, Chu Mo's lower body was in this state, and if his upper body were also affected, the consequences would be unimaginable.
