seal of magic

The cold and biting air seemed to have deteriorated and was sticky and greasy. Countless pairs of invisible hands tightly grasped Qi Shao's limbs, making him unable to move.

Qi Shao wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make any sound.The feeling of suffocation made him extremely painful. He wanted to take a big breath, but what entered his mouth was not air but a foul-smelling liquid.

There was darkness in front of his eyes, Qi Shao struggled desperately, but he still couldn't see anything - he couldn't see where he was, and he couldn't see who was trying to kill him.

The pain in his chest was about to explode, and his consciousness had already begun to blur.Just when Qi Shao felt that he was going to die here, the power that had been restraining him suddenly disappeared, and his surroundings gradually became clear.This place seems to be the bottom of the water, and the blue sky can still be seen through the undulating water surface. Something is holding him up rapidly.

"Come to Taolin Town..."

The voice that reaches the head is gentle and ethereal.

Who is speaking?Qi Shao tried his best to maintain his final sobriety and wanted to turn his head to find the speaker.A dark red figure appeared in the blurred field of vision.

who is it?Why should I go to Taolin Town?

His head hit something suddenly, and the pain woke Qi Shao up from his dream.He rubbed his head, it turned out that he hit the glass window of the bus.

It was that dream again, and that scene had been dreaming more and more frequently recently, but he never saw clearly who was talking to him.After waking up, I couldn't remember many details of the dream. Only the words Taolin Town were clear and clear, as if they were deeply engraved in my mind.

Taolin Town is exactly the destination of Qi Shao's trip.When he dreamed of this scene for the first time, he didn't pay attention to it, it was just a normal nightmare.But after having the same dream several times, he began to feel a little uneasy, and at the same time curious: Where exactly is Taolin Town?Why do I keep having this dream over and over again?

Qi Shao searched the Internet and found that this place really exists. Judging from the pictures in the introduction, it is just a remote town and there is nothing special about it.Although the person in the dream kept calling him to go to Taolin Town, Qi Shao always felt a little scared.This is not a beautiful dream, Qi Shao's intuition tells that something bad will happen.

I don’t know how old Qi Shao has been since he was able to see some things that ordinary people can’t see—the old lady who sold newspapers five years ago on the street corner, the sound of windows knocking in the middle of the night, wearing summer thin skirts in winter, barefoot The girls walking around downstairs in the girls' dormitory... He has long known that the world is far less scientific than the textbooks describe.

Being able to see it doesn't mean being willing to accept it, and Qi Shao is unwilling to deal with these things unless he has to.The recurring dreams may also be related to these supernatural things. As long as it doesn't affect his life too much, he doesn't want to take risks.

But escaping didn't have any effect. When the frequency of this dream changed from once in several months to once a month, then to a week, or even appeared every three to five times, Qi Shao finally couldn't stand it anymore.

For him, even worse than the pain of waking, he was restless in sleep.Every time he woke up from the dream, he felt as if he had escaped from death. The feeling of suffocation was so real that he even began to fear falling asleep.

Qi Shao struggled to end his student career in such a state. At this time, he saw on the school's employment website that a company was recruiting an assistant manager, and the place of work was in Taolin Town.Because the working location is relatively remote, the salary is a little higher than the average level of the city where Qishao University is located. The only requirement is to be able to endure a boring life. After all, there are not as many entertainment venues in small towns as in big cities.

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Shao submitted his resume.He doesn't have much pursuit of entertainment, and he doesn't like too noisy places, so it doesn't matter to him to go to work in a small town.He thought, instead of being tormented in a dream for no reason, it would be better to go to the tiger's den to find out.

The interview process for that job was surprisingly smooth, and the other party informed him to report directly to Taolin Town with relevant documents after graduation.

At this time, Qi Shao was sitting on the bus bound for Taolin Town.

The car is quiet at night, almost no sound can be heard.The lights in the car were turned off as early as leaving the city, and the bus was driving in the mountains. Qi Shao looked at the surrounding passengers through the light of the night running lights. sleep.He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. At 11:45, it turned out that he had only fallen asleep for 15 minutes.

Although he fell asleep just now, the nightmare made Qi Shao feel even more tired.He rubbed the center of his brows, closed his eyes and continued to think about the dream just now.Better to fall asleep again.Qi Shao had a strong premonition that if he could enter this dream again, he would definitely see the person who spoke.

However, things don't go as planned, the more I want to sleep, the more I can't sleep.Qi Shao opened his eyes helplessly and looked out the window. It was dark and the bus was still driving in the mountains.

A huge and weird camphor tree attracted Qi Shao's attention.

Strange, why this tree again, he remembered seeing this tree before he fell asleep.

Qi Shao's night vision has been amazing since he was a child, and the bus drove slowly past the strange camphor tree, so he should not be wrong.I must have thought too much. In the wilderness, there are a few trees that look alike. It's nothing.Qi Shao took out his phone while comforting himself. The moment the screen turned on, he subconsciously held his breath.

10:45.It was exactly the same as the last time he checked the time.

No!Come again at this time?Qi Shao wailed in his heart.At best it's just a broken phone.He unlocked the phone—everything was fine except no signal, the same time.

If there is no problem with the phone, it can only be hell again.

With the light of the mobile phone, Qi Shao looked around calmly.A strange feeling lingered in his heart, there was something he had overlooked, there was definitely something wrong with this bus!

He watches the others carefully.There are not many passengers on this bus, and there are only eight people including Qi Shao.These passengers were scattered in various seats, very quiet, and there was no sound at all.

right!It's so quiet!

Normally, when driving at night, there will always be a few night owls in the car who are playing with their mobile phones or watching videos on their tablets.Even if everyone is sleeping, there will always be a few people snoring among so many people.Even if there were no snorers, there should be an engine sound.But there was no sound in this car.

It was so quiet, as if...he was the only living person in the whole car!

Qi Shao didn't know what was wrong with this car, but he definitely couldn't stay in this car any longer.

"Driver! Stop, I want to get off!"

Qi Shao stood up and wanted to talk to the driver, but the bus bumped suddenly after taking a few steps, so he quickly held onto the seat.Looking up, he saw the passengers in front of him looking back at him from an unbelievable angle. These people's faces were livid, their eyes were unblinking, and their backs were facing him, but their heads were twisted as if their necks were broken. 180 degree.

Qi Shao: "..."

Although it was not the first time he had seen a ghost, he couldn't get used to these various kinds of frights.

"Brothers, don't be like this, I just don't want to get off." Qi Shao sat down slowly, and following his movements, the passengers slowly turned their heads back, as if nothing had happened.

It seems that no matter whether he got into the ghost car by mistake or not, these ghosts are not going to let him go.It is not Qi Shao's habit to sit and wait.He silently observed his surroundings, thinking of ways to escape.

The bus windows are closed.Qi Shao raised his head and looked diagonally upwards. There was a safety hammer there. There was no locked bracket on it, so it should be lifted directly to remove it.If you go fast enough, you might be able to smash the car window before being killed by these ghosts.

Qi Shao took a deep breath, counted one, two, three in his heart, then suddenly stood up, took off the safety hammer, and smashed it against the edge of the car window desperately.Following his movements, all the evil spirits who had just calmed down became agitated.Regardless of the movement behind him, Qi Shao just smashed the car window hard, but it was completely useless, and there was not even a trace left on the car window.In the blink of an eye, the ferocious ghost was in front of him, Qi Shao turned his back against the car window, grasped the safety hammer tightly and prepared to make a final resistance.

At this moment, the evil spirit in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a strange young man appeared behind it.The young man's eyes are slender, hooked inside and turned up outside, which are typical Danfeng eyes.His nose bridge was straight, his lips were slightly thinner, and he was holding a silver dagger in his hand.

"Hey, there is still a living person. It seems that I came at the right time." The voice sounded with a playful smile, very relaxed, as if it was just an ordinary encounter on a street corner, not in this dangerous ghost. in the car.

Qi Shao figured out the identity of the person in front of him, and didn't answer rashly.

This new person obviously angered the ghosts in the car, and after a pause, they roared and rushed up again.

The aisle in the car was narrow, and the young man guarded the aisle. Although there were a large number of these ghosts, they did not take much advantage.

Before Qi Shao could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several ghosts climbing up the back of the chair in the distance, and one even hung upside down on the roof of the car.

"Be careful of the top of your head!" Qi Shao threw the safety hammer in his hand at the ghost hanging upside down, and at the same time reminded the young man.

As soon as the words fell, the one on the roof had already jumped down, and the safety hammer passed through the ghost's body without affecting it in any way.The young man counterattacked sideways, but he was half a step slow. The dagger only hurt the evil spirit, but failed to hit the vital part.

That ghost seemed to be much more flexible than the others, and immediately jumped onto the roof of the car when it missed a hit, turned around and rushed towards Qi Shao.

Without any tools to resist, Qi Shao subconsciously closed his eyes.The expected pain did not come, but a "hissing" sound was heard instead, and almost at the same time the ghost screamed, as if it had been burned by something, and retreated hastily back into the dark.

Qi Shao was a little confused, so when the ghost touched him just now, he seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, so soft that he wondered if he heard it wrong.

At the same time, the young man also heard the soft sound, and he turned his head to look at Qi Shao in surprise, but Qi Shao, who was immersed in thinking, didn't notice it.

When Qi Shao came back to his senses, the young man had already dealt with the remaining ghosts neatly.

Qi Shao felt that his brain was beating continuously like a heart. In his 20 years of life, there had never been anything as impactful as today.Although he had seen these things more than once, he had never been so directly involved in danger.He forced himself to calm down and look around, the ghosts just now disappeared, only the driver and the young man were left in the car.

The young man seemed to be talking to the driver, and Qi Shao was stunned by his actions the next moment.

"Wait a minute!" Qi Shao shouted, but the young man's dagger had already pierced the driver's neck, a puff of black air emerged from the driver's wound, and then the driver's entire body turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated.

Qi Shao rushed over, trying to stabilize the vehicle.Even if the car is full of ghosts, a living person like him can't die in a car accident.

When Qi Shao rushed to the driver's seat, the weird thing happened again: there was no one or ghost in the driver's seat, and there was a turn in front of him, but the steering wheel turned to the right automatically.
