Chapter 49: The Man Who Can Control Ghosts
When I walked into the deep alley, I felt someone was staring at me for some reason. However, I didn't know who this person was. Walking in the alley, my eyes kept following Chen Lanyu, but Chen Lanyu seemed to have disappeared, which made me very confused.
I remember that I came here to chase her, but I instinctively felt that this place was very strange. Walking on this dark road, I looked around and walked carefully.
Just then, I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, I saw an old man walking forward step by step with a cane.
I looked at her, and after a long while I said, "Grandma, where is this place?"
"This is not the place for you. Leave quickly. Otherwise you will definitely regret it." The old man said to me, leaning on his crutches.
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Because there's a ghost ahead." The old man said this and continued walking forward with his cane.
When I heard her words, I was stunned and instinctively wanted to leave. But seeing that the old man dared to move forward, I also mustered up the courage to move forward. Who knew that after I walked for a while, I found that the old man in front of me walked faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of me.
This shocked me, and I had to continue walking on this road. However, the alley in front of me seemed endless, and I couldn't get out at all. Just when I was desperate, I suddenly heard a cold laugh from behind me.
The sneer came from a woman, right behind me.
Hearing this sneer, I was immediately terrified and turned my head subconsciously. However, when I turned my head, I saw a distorted face.
This is an extremely scary face. Her face is covered with scars. Each scar is so deep that you can see the bone. When I saw this face, I couldn't turn back.
I looked at the female ghost in front of me with horror, I felt my body trembling, and I was completely stunned.
At this moment, the ghost stretched out her hand and grabbed my neck. I started to struggle, but the ghost was too strong and I couldn't resist her.
I struggled desperately, feeling the air in my lungs disappearing bit by bit, and my face turned red. This feeling was too painful.
But at this moment, I didn't know where I got the strength from, but I broke free from the ghost's arms, and then ran madly behind me. Seeing me running away, the ghost screamed and chased me directly.
I ran as fast as I could, not daring to look back. But I really underestimated the speed of the ghost. In just a moment, a cold arm grabbed my shoulder again. And behind me, the familiar laughter sounded again.
At this time, I knew that I was in great danger. But I was unwilling to accept it. I had done nothing wrong. Why should I be treated like this?
Just when I was feeling desperate, the ghost girl's arm had already grabbed my shoulder. She looked like she was going to drag me away. I struggled desperately, but in front of the ghost girl, my resistance became increasingly powerless.
I was struggling and shouting, but no one around me answered me. I was desperate at this time, and I knew that my death was approaching.
However, at this moment, I suddenly felt someone pushing me, and then I woke up.
At this time, I found that the female ghosts around me disappeared, and I was still standing in the alley. And next to me, a man looked at me and said, "Are you sick? You stood here for a long time without moving. I was shocked."
"Really?" I smiled slightly, looked around, and said to myself, "It turned out to be an illusion. I thought it was real."
"You're really crazy." The man looked at me, then turned and was about to leave.
I didn't dare to stay in this alley any longer, but continued to walk forward. At this time, I vaguely felt that what I encountered was related to Chen Lanyu. Chen Lanyu was definitely a strange person.
Thinking of this, I didn't have time to think about it, I just started running and rushed towards Chen Lanyu.
As I continued to run, I suddenly saw Chen Lanyu. Without thinking too much, I rushed towards her.
When Chen Lanyu saw me, she was very surprised. She stared at me in amazement, then turned around and tried to run away.
"Don't run! Stop right there." I shouted at Chen Lanyu, then hurriedly chased after her.
In this way, Chen Lanyu and I chased each other along the street.
When I was halfway through chasing her, Chen Lanyu finally stopped. She looked at me helplessly and said in an annoyed voice, "Hey, what do you want? Why are you chasing me?"
"Did you cause what I just experienced?" I asked Chen Lanyu.
"What are you talking about? I have no idea at all." Chen Lanyu looked at me and said innocently.
"Let's not talk about this for now. You were the one who pulled the gatekeeper of the underworld into the group, right?" I said to Chen Lanyu.
"It's not me." Chen Lanyu retorted hastily, but it was clear from her face that she was lying.
"Don't lie. You were the one who brought the gatekeeper of the underworld in." I looked at her and yelled.
"I've already said it, it's not me." Chen Lanyu said in a crying voice, but looking at her panicked expression, I knew in my heart that her psychological defenses were collapsing.
I looked at her and roared, "Do you know how much pain you have brought to the class? Do you know how many people in the class died? Do you know how many people will never see their parents again?"
Facing my questioning, Chen Lanyu suddenly collapsed, collapsed to the ground, and said, "I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it."
I walked towards her slowly and said in a calm voice, "What do you know? Tell me quickly."
Who knew that after I said that, Chen Lanyu's face suddenly changed. She stood up suddenly, pushed me, and shouted: "I won't tell you, I'm innocent!"
I was pushed to the ground by her without any warning, and I frowned as I watched her fleeing. I was even more curious.
What secret does Chen Lanyu have and why is she so scared?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly continued to chase after her. Seeing me chasing her, Chen Lanyu stopped, looked at me, and said coldly: "Don't chase me anymore, or you will die."
I was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Even if I die, I want to know the truth."
"The truth, is the truth really that important?" Chen Lanyu glanced at me and said slowly.
"Yes, the truth is important. I want to know." I looked at her and said.
"Even if I die here now?" Chen Lanyu looked at me and said.
"I want to see how you kill me." I snorted coldly.
Who knew that I would regret it when I said this. Because after I said it, I heard the ghost's voice again, and she was right behind me. Before I could turn around, a powerful force behind me pushed me to the ground.
As I struggled, I looked at Chen Lanyu in the distance. A voice asked in shock: "You can actually control ghosts?"
"Yes, you guessed right, so go to hell." Chen Lanyu smiled at me, and then the female ghost on me grabbed my neck directly, looking like she was going to strangle me to death.
As I struggled, I looked at her and shouted, "So, you are the gatekeeper of the underworld."
"No, I'm not him." Chen Lanyu shook her head, then looked at me and said, "Since you are going to die too, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'll tell you the truth. The Gatekeeper of the Underworld is my online boyfriend."
"What did you say? It's your online boyfriend?" I looked at her in amazement.
I never thought that the gatekeeper of the underworld was actually Chen Lanyu's boyfriend. In this case, she was also an accomplice of the gatekeeper of the underworld.
As if seeing my expression, Chen Lanyu continued, "It was me who dragged the gatekeeper of the underworld into the group. But I didn't expect things to develop like this."
"Stop explaining. So many people died in the class and it was all your fault." I said gritting my teeth.
"In that case, then you may as well die." Chen Lanyu looked at me with a smile, and then the female ghost on me strangled my neck even more frantically. I struggled desperately, but felt that my body's strength was getting weaker and weaker.
Am I really going to die? Die at the hands of Chen Lanyu.
Thinking of this, my heart was filled with despair and anger. But at this moment, an old voice sounded: "Okay, stop it."
I was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the place where the voice came from. To my surprise, this person turned out to be the old woman I had just seen. She was leaning on a cane, looking at Chen Lanyu coldly.
"Grandma, he must die, otherwise once my secret is exposed, I will be finished." Chen Lanyu shouted.
"In that case, why not just tell him to shut up?" The old man glanced at me indifferently, then said, "You won't tell anyone about my granddaughter's secret, will you?"
"Of course not." I said hastily. At this moment, I felt like I was about to die.
"In that case, please let her go, second brother," said the old man.
When she finished speaking, the ghost on me let go of my neck. I finally relaxed. I coughed and looked at the old woman in the distance, and asked, "You should be Chen Lanyu's grandmother, right?"
"That's right. My granddaughter is useless. I apologize to you." The old man bowed and said.
"Nothing, but I want to know, how can you control ghosts?" I asked in disbelief.
"You're talking about this, this is a technique to control ghosts. It's no big deal." The old man said indifferently.
