Chapter 521 Hearse Transport
Just as the beam of light pierced the darkness of the path, suddenly, Phil and the others appeared in mid-air in a flurry!
None of them looked very well.
Moreover... the quantity is incorrect compared to the beginning.
Chen Ji frowned, not immediately asking what had happened, but instead focusing his gaze on the extra person. The person's face was familiar; he had seen him before when they first gathered in the lobby.
He was an ordinary-looking man.
Previously, I blended in quietly among the interns and was very inconspicuous.
His exposed skin was covered with dark slag and ash, which fell off with every step he took.
It felt like I had just escaped from a fire.
"drop--"
A horn pierced the silence of the night.
"A large golden cup... and it's all black, why does it look so much like a hearse?"
Liu Zi's lips twitched as his gaze fell on the black bus parked at the entrance of the cemetery.
The car windows were designed to prevent peeping, so you couldn't see who was inside or even if there was a driver.
The car door opened by itself.
There was a partition between the cockpit and the cabin, and behind it were four rows of seats, which seemed to be prepared for them.
After confirming that everyone had received the text message, Chen Ji nodded and gestured for everyone to get in the car, which should be the necessary procedure for the second door.
Soon, the hearse turned around and headed down the mountain...
inside the car.
"Who are you?" Chen Ji asked, looking at the ordinary-looking man.
Ren Yu.
The man spoke succinctly, his tone indifferent, as if he didn't really want to introduce himself.
He sat alone in the last row by the window. As if sensing everyone's suspicion, he tilted his head, revealing the Ghostly Mark on his neck.
Ren Yu briefly explained the previous situation. Just as Chen Ji had guessed, he had indeed been captured by a ghost, but not the core ghost, but rather the NPCs!
"Then the entire hotel disappeared, and I inexplicably found myself in a cemetery."
The rest of the story is explained by Du Tingfeng, including how Ren Yu joined the group, reminded him, and then left the cemetery with everyone else.
Ren Yu didn't mention a word about how he escaped or how he hid.
Luo Weicheng, Huang Yue, and others gave him a deep look.
They all noticed that the charred residue on Ren Yu's body was gradually fading away over time, revealing human skin... much like the side effects of some kind of strange object were disappearing.
Or perhaps, the pretense is fading.
In short, this is a good thing, after all, one more person survived... It's just that this person has never helped the team in any way, and doesn't seem to have any intention of contributing in the future.
Ren Yu made no attempt to hide his distrust of others.
Streetlights flashed past the window, brightening the carriage; they seemed to be heading into the city.
Only then did Chen Ji realize what had just happened.
After he left, the ghosts who had joined the group tried to break out of the door, but none of them succeeded!
The scene was extremely chaotic, which is why the remaining people did not immediately follow Chen Ji out.
"This is very strange."
Du Tingfeng said, "I used to think that since the documents weren't in the hands of the tomb guardian, the core ghost could leave the cemetery. But now it seems that those documents have no direct connection to whether or not it can leave the cemetery."
"So Zhou Liang's purpose is still unclear..."
He paused, then added, "Moreover, Zhou Liang didn't join the team at all."
"But it didn't disappear. When I left, I looked back and found it standing right outside the hut."
"Just like before, there are no eyes or nose on the face, only a mouth, slightly open."
"Where are his documents?" Chen Ji asked immediately.
Even after leaving the first door, they still couldn't figure out Zhou Liang's purpose; it was neither to leave the room nor to leave the cemetery.
Previous experience has shown that during the cleansing phase, the core ghost can leave the room without carrying any documents.
If Zhou Liang's goal was to leave the cemetery, it should have already been fighting over the documents.
Chen Ji now suspects that there may be problems with those funeral documents, and simply holding them may add hidden dangers!
However, Xu Sandao shook his head.
"After I left the cemetery, all the documents disappeared."
He deliberately emphasized the word "all," not just Zhou Liang, but every single document, including Qi Yue's.
This proves that it is a domain mechanism, and has nothing to do with whether it is a core ghost.
"......"
Chen Ji remained silent, but the doubts in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
"Let's turn the page," Luo Weicheng said softly, turning his gaze to the window.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about Zhou Liang, but the world behind the second door... was so different from the first one.
“The area around this door is… quite large.”
The hearse has entered the city.
Just like in real life, cars drive by from time to time, pedestrians come and go, and the buildings and residential areas are all twinkling with lights in the night.
"This place looks like Taiping?" Huang Yue was taken aback.
Before he entered the domain, he often went on business trips to the vicinity of Daping City, which is a medium-sized city located in the Central Plains.
The large area means it won't be as fast-paced as the First Door Hotel.
It is at least calculated in days.
Moreover, the mission for the second door has not yet been released, which means they are currently in a short break.
“I have a feeling there must be a third door.” Bai Shaohua slumped in his seat, gazing at the night view of Taiping.
"..." Liu Zi looked at him speechlessly: "Can you stop jinxing me?"
Bai Shaohua scoffed, "You think Yu is so kind as to give us some breathing room?"
"It's definitely because things will get even harder from here on out. We might even walk out of the second door and immediately go into the third one."
Liu Zi stared at him in silence for a moment, then suddenly said:
"You figured it out using the strange object."
Bai Shaohua shrugged, his face expressionless, and he didn't answer.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a residential area.
At the same time, two cell phone notification sounds rang out simultaneously.
They belong to Feng Yao and Huang Yue respectively.
Their old phones received the same message: a house number from this neighborhood.
Unit 3, Apartment 101, Jinxiu Garden
"Just the two of us?" Huang Yue's expression changed slightly; the second door seemed to have arranged a different address for them.
And this also means...
Their tasks and identities may have been separated again.
