Volume 2: Ghost Invitation Chapter 0048 Curse
"Hold on tight!"
Following Lao Gao's loud shout, the car rushed forward like a frightened bird.
Although Lao Gao had reminded them, Xiao Mo and Zhang Tianyi were still unable to stay seated due to the strong inertia and both fell off their seats and landed heavily on the ground.
Affected by this, Li Shuai, Xinyan and others also woke up from their coma one after another. When they saw the situation they were currently in, they all cried out in unison, holding on to the seats tightly with both hands, and asked loudly what was going on.
"Now is not the time to explain. Master Corruption, you should still have some talismans."
"Well...well, there's more." The Corruption Mage nodded blankly.
"Stick those paper talismans on both sides of the car windows to keep the ghosts outside away. And you, Li Shuai, try to keep an eye on every car window to prevent any ghost from breaking in..."
Although the Decaying Wizard and Li Shuai were completely confused, the current situation did not allow them to hesitate, because the car windows, carport, and even the windshield in front of Lao Gao were all crawling with disgusting ghosts.
Such a scene was absolutely horrifying. Xiao Mo's legs became somewhat weak, and a chill kept coming out of his back.
Xiao Mo did not allow this fear to take over. He looked at the windows on both sides and found that only two windows had broken glass, while the other windows were intact. In fact, the Corruption Mage and Li Shuai were also guarding these two windows. Although the ghosts outside the windows were staring at him, fortunately none of them came in.
Twisted and deformed faces were stuck to the car windows. There were faces of women, children, and the elderly... Their faces were almost blue, and each of their bulging eyeballs was like marbles scattered on the ground, jumping irregularly on the car windows.
Perhaps they noticed Xiao Mo's gaze, the ghosts sticking to the window suddenly looked at him, and without exception, their eyes were full of malice and resentment.
Xiao Mo shuddered involuntarily, as if he had been electrocuted, and his hair stood on end and he had goose bumps all over his body. It was obvious that these ghosts were all evil spirits.
He didn't dare to look anymore and quickly turned his gaze away, but the situation was the same at the other car windows, with the same scene of evil spirit invasion.
At this time, a car window attracted Xiao Mo's attention, because there was no evil ghost in front of this window, and the round mirror that followed him like a shadow was standing there.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo's expression moved, he vaguely guessed something, and then carefully leaned over holding the handle above. When he came to the round mirror, Xiao Mo found that the cracks on the mirror surface had deepened a little, and a new crack appeared at the bottom, which was obviously not there before.
"Can this mirror absorb evil spirits? Just like it sucked in that evil spirit?"
As Xiao Mo thought about this, he turned the round mirror to the back, facing the window behind him that was covered with evil spirits. Instantly, a scene that made him exclaim appeared. The evil spirits outside the window showed terrified expressions, and then jumped out of the car window in a panic. Some of them who did not have time to leave suddenly disappeared on the car window.
“Crack!”
There was another cracking sound from the mirror, and Xiao Mo looked at the mirror and saw a new crack on it. The appearance of the new crack confirmed his previous guess that this mirror had the ability to absorb evil spirits!
This was definitely a huge surprise for Xiao Mo. You know, there are only three kinds of ghosts, but this mirror can deal with two of them. As for the only ghost that he couldn't deal with, he could also use the rules created by the ghost to eliminate it. It's not hard to imagine that his chances of survival have been greatly increased.
After learning that the mirror had such magical effects, Xiao Mo's first reaction was to help everyone get rid of the evil spirits surrounding the car, but he changed his mind and gave up the idea.
He couldn't tell anyone about this, because once he told anyone that the mirror could absorb evil spirits, Zhang Tianyi and the others would let him use the mirror whenever he encountered evil spirits, and they would reap the benefits. If the mirror could be used all the time, it wouldn't be a big deal, and he would be known as a helper, but the problem was that the mirror would gradually break as the evil spirits were sucked in. This was proven by the Luohe School incident and his previous experiment. If the mirror was used too many times, it would eventually break completely.
He still remembers the ghost gate that appeared in the mirror and the thing that tried to get out of the ghost gate, so it is hard to say what will happen if the mirror is broken.
Xiao Mo glanced at Zhang Tianyi and the others calmly. It happened that their attention was not on him. As for Lao Gao who was driving, he did not look at the rearview mirror either.
"Let's just hide this fact for now."
Xiao Mo made up his mind, he put the round mirror down and put it on the ground, so as to prevent the mirror from sucking in the evil spirits on the carport. However, what he didn't expect was that Xinyan, who was sitting in the corner, saw this scene clearly, and a few strange lights flashed in her beautiful eyes.
After a while, the evil spirit covering the car finally retreated, and everyone in the car fell to the ground with all their might, listening to the loud sound of the tires screeching as they scratched across the road.
After the recent incident, the abilities of Li Shuai and Master Corruption were once again demonstrated. Li Shuai's power can be fully exerted on evil spirits. As for the talismans written by Master Corruption, they can also play a certain role in expelling evil spirits.
Xiao Mo saw all of this, and he planned to try his best to maintain a good relationship with the two in the future. He didn't expect them to risk their lives to save him, but just to lend a helping hand. Now that he thought about it, he didn't know what abilities Lao Gao had among the crowd, or he was just an ordinary person, just more experience than them.
"What on earth is going on? I clearly remember that something pulled me out of the room. Could it be that thing that dragged me into the car?"
Li Shuai's abrupt question interrupted Xiao Mo's thoughts. He turned his head to look at Li Shuai, then turned his head to glance at Zhang Tianyi, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't want Zhang Tianyi to tell everyone that he was the culprit of the curse, and there were some other things.
Of course, he could have refused to admit it, and even he was skeptical about it, but it was hard to say whether it would not arouse suspicion or even hatred from Li Shuai and others.
"I have told you before that preventing supernatural events in reality is just an appetizer. The real test is yet to come. And this test is what we need to face now. To put it bluntly, the world we are in now is a terrifying world.
Every stop is fatal and can plunge us into endless despair!"
"Like just now?"
The Decaying Mage interjected in confusion.
"Listen to me." Zhang Tianyi signaled to everyone that he would explain it clearly, and then he continued:
"We will go along this road and pass through towns and villages. The car must always keep moving forward, because once it stops, it will be invaded by ghosts, so keeping moving forward will keep us very safe.
But! The car won’t keep going forever, it will run out of gas and then we have to stop it. We need to fill up the car so we can drive it again.”
At this point, Zhang Tianyi looked at everyone's reactions, and then he said softly:
"It sounds easy. The car will be safe as long as it goes down the road, and then it just needs to go around the road. You must think so, right? If so, you are totally wrong, because ghost stories are happening in every town and village.
Entering there means... we become victims of the haunting just like those residents!"
