Chapter 554 [Domain - Second Gate] Escape
Huang Yue felt a jolt run through his body!
There were four ghosts in front of me, so why is there another one behind me?
Moreover... the texture of their hands is not normal at all!
Just as Huang Yue's spirit, which had already reached its limit, was about to completely collapse, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a paper hand out of the corner of his eye.
"Don't be afraid."
A familiar, calm voice rang in his ear.
It's Chen Ji!
Huang Yue felt a brief moment of relief, but then a flicker of vigilance returned.
"Why are you here?"
“It’s past midnight.” Chen Ji spoke quickly: “This transformation is different from the previous ones. You’re not the only one affected.”
"I'll explain in detail later. What exactly is going on on your end?"
"......"
Huang Yue gritted his teeth and didn't answer. Instead, he quickly glanced at his watch. It was 12:20, and the harmonica would expire in two minutes.
"My monster has taken control of me and the ghost together... Damn. I can only stop in two minutes, but by then I'm still doomed."
He didn't say much, firstly because there were still many questions about why Chen Ji appeared, and he couldn't easily believe it.
Secondly, he didn't want to tell Chen Ji that he was a ghost.
After all, human nature is unpredictable. Huang Yue asked himself honestly, if it were him, he wouldn't have saved a teammate who seemed to have become a ghost.
This would undoubtedly bring great risks to oneself.
Although Huang Yue didn't feel like he was a ghost at all, he was still breathing, had a heartbeat, and felt fear.
"........I see."
Chen Ji paused for a moment before saying, "Listen to me now, don't be afraid, calm down, I need your cooperation."
"I'll time it perfectly. I'll grab you when there are five seconds left. Once you've recovered, run with me."
"run?"
Huang Yue twitched his lips: "Can we outrun a ghost?"
"can."
Chen answered very briefly.
He didn't explain further, but for some reason, the certainty in his tone gradually calmed Huang Yue's heartbeat.
Huang Yue didn't want to admit it... but he did feel a long-lost sense of security.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, he and the four ghosts had reached the street corner.
The harmonica music was still guiding us forward, like a gust of wind that we couldn't quite grasp; we could only sense it, but we didn't know exactly who was playing it or where it was playing.
...But the music was indeed fading away.
Huang Yue stared intently at his watch until there were five seconds left. Then, he twitched his shoulder, signaling Chen Ji behind him to grab his arm.
The four ghosts in front were still walking slowly, slowly...
......
three.
two.
One.
The four ghosts suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Huang Yue felt a weight in his pocket as the harmonica fell back down.
At the same second, he heard Chen Ji shout urgently, "Run!" and his body involuntarily followed Chen Ji, running in the opposite direction!
Despite having prepared himself mentally, he was still startled by Chen Ji, who looked exactly like the person in the group chat.
Wearing a melon-shaped hat, a blue mandarin jacket, and a paper-mache body, Chen Ji was also holding a female paper figure in his other hand, which was none other than Fei'er!
For some reason, he was incredibly fast; he couldn't even be called running, he was practically floating.
Is it because of the "infiltration" they mentioned before...?
A complex look appeared in Huang Yue's eyes. He knew that as the curse progressed, Chen Ji and Fei'er would become more and more accustomed to their paper-like bodies.
However, it should also be due to the presence of strange creatures.
However, Chen Ji's previous certainty was not unfounded; he was able to carry two at once, and his speed was much faster than that of the four ghosts.
Huang Yue looked back and saw that the ghost was still chasing him relentlessly.
He felt a chill run down his spine; he had guessed correctly. The four ghosts had indeed planned to make their move as soon as the harmonica ended!
Half a minute later, the ghosts seemed to realize they couldn't catch up and stopped...
Until the four figures became tiny dots in Huang Yue's sight and eventually disappeared completely.
After a while.
The three had already escaped to a deserted parking lot several blocks away.
Huang Yue's heart was still pounding, and he was covered in cold sweat.
To be honest, if it weren't for Chen Ji, he would have been tortured to death by now.
He paused for a moment before looking at the two paper figures:
"All right."
"How exactly were you tricked into getting in here?"
Chen Ji nodded and slowly told him what had happened.
It turns out that Huang Yue suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight right at the beginning of the recording.
After a brief period of confusion, the remaining four deduced that Huang Yue's situation was probably the same as Du Xu's group and Wu Hui's, that he had been transported to another world.
Just like the two worlds, it's the same Ohei City, but with subtle changes.
"But... there are other people here?"
Huang Yue was confused. If this was another time and space, then what were the gatekeeper and the four possessed young people?
"Listen to me, this is the problem."
Chen Ji said, "I didn't enter this space-time at the beginning. Instead, at midnight, after Fei'er and I turned into paper figures, we were suddenly transported here."
"I bet you won't be able to see us anymore after you're pulled in, right?"
Huang Yue nodded hesitantly.
"We're the same. Liu Zi and Bai Shaohua have both disappeared."
"Although we were both in a villa, there was one difference. After we turned into paper figures, we found that the computer chair in the study was overturned... It was this point that made me realize that we must have been transported to the same time and space."
However, Chen Ji's tone was somewhat confused:
"But I keep thinking, why us? Why are there only three of us?"
"Is it because of the villa? But why are Bai Shaohua and Liu Zi unharmed?"
Huang Yue clenched his fist tightly.
This is a question that perhaps only he can answer right now.
Not long ago, he realized something terrifying through the harmonica:
He is a ghost now.
The paper-doll Chen Ji and Fei'er can also be considered ghosts.
"...I have something to tell you."
After a brief silence, Huang Yue said in a low voice, "I think only the dead can come here."
"My strange creatures don't actually affect living people."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Chen Ji asked uncertainly, "Are you saying you're a ghost?"
"No! I'm pretty sure I'm still alive! But... sigh, I don't know!"
Huang Yue clutched his head, muttering in anguish, his mind a complete mess.
He himself didn't know what was going on, but ghosts don't lie, and harmonicas only attract ghosts.
Huang Yue was already prepared for the three of them to go their separate ways, and he completely understood if Chen Ji and the other wanted to leave.
"We are not human either."
Phil said calmly, "Don't dwell on your current state."
"On the contrary, this may be a good thing."
good thing?
Huang Yue was stunned.
“Yes.” Chen Ji floated in front of him and said softly, “Me, Fei’er, you, none of us are human, nor are we ghosts.”
"What about Du Tingfeng and Xu Sandao?"
