There are always mermaids who love to grab men from me [Interstellar]

The mottled and dilapidated bus was driving bumpily on the road. Outside the window was a gray cloudy sky. The weeds on the side of the road grew wildly to the height of half a person, and their branches and leaves protruded with teeth and claws.Ahead, the narrow road seemed to have no end, the bus was deserted, and the air was terrifyingly silent.

Jin Li looked out of the car window and rubbed his eyes in confusion.

In the driver's seat of the bus, the driver who couldn't see his face suddenly sneered, turned the steering wheel with one hand, and honked the horn calmly.

A frightened deer jumped high in front of the car, fled into the lush grass half a person's height, and soon disappeared.

Jin Li was so shocked by the loudspeaker that he looked around the twenty or so seats in the carriage and found that besides himself, there were four other people sitting scattered.

The four seemed to have just been woken up by the loudspeaker. The gray-haired man was the first to yawn lazily.This person was located closest to Jin Li. He first looked at the other three people, and finally his gaze fell on Jin Li for a long while, before slowly uttering two words with his thin lips, "Interesting."

Jin Li hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he could only smile politely at the gray-haired man.

The gray-haired man thought he didn't expect Jin Li to be so quiet, he just curled his mouth, looked away playfully, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

The other three people in the carriage seemed to know each other, they whispered a few words to each other, then glanced at the gray-haired man who seemed to be asleep, and finally locked on the direction of Jin Li at the same time.

Jin Li felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the three people's visiting eyes.

Until a young man sitting in the front row made a gesture of holding a gun with his hands, pointed in his direction mockingly, and let out a "boom!"

Jin Li couldn't help wrinkling his delicate and beautiful eyebrows.

"Quiet." The gray-haired man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the young man.

The wicked smile on the young man's face froze suddenly, and the arm that was gesturing was pulled down by the person sitting with him.

Before turning his head and sitting back in his seat with a face full of reluctance, the young man gave Jin Li a hard look.

"The team members are a little out of touch, which makes you laugh." The gray-haired man's voice was very magnetic, and he gave off a very gentlemanly and elegant feeling when he spoke.

But this time the gray-haired man didn't look directly at Jin Li when he spoke, but looked at the driver in the front driver's seat with his dark brown eyes.

Probably because he noticed the man's eyes in the rearview mirror, the driver who couldn't see his face laughed twice, his hoarse voice was like an old bellows, and he said, "Don't worry... ...don't worry, it will be here soon... soon..."

"Where are you taking us?" the gray-haired man asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course... to take you where you should go."

The driver was still smiling "hehe", and after a while he slowly raised his lowered head. From the rearview mirror, Jin Li could clearly see the driver's lifeless blue-white face and his stiff and strange face. laugh.

Eh?Is this driver a dead man?Jin Li took a closer look at the driver, and found that the driver was covered with a layer of black gas, which looked extremely dangerous.

"Mother planet, help!" The little man sitting alone in the front row suddenly screamed, and tremblingly crawled to the side of the young man who had just provoked Jin Li. The young man was startled by his pale face, and asked ,"What happened?"

The little man held the young man's arm in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "That driver...that driver has no white eyes! He, he should be a dead man!"

"What?!" Another teammate gasped in disbelief, forced a laugh and said, "Don't talk nonsense, maybe the driver is wearing colored contact lenses, besides, how can a dead person talk?... Haha .”

But the little one couldn't smile, his face was very ugly.

"No, he's right." The gray-haired man said suddenly, "The driver is a dead man. If I'm not mistaken, this ancient bus should be the legendary vehicle for passing away, and this road is the way for dying. "

"The car for rebirth... is the one that takes the dead man?" The little man swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief, "Could it be...we are already dead?"

"Hey, hey, can you calm down? We're just playing a game, what's not going to die?" The young man couldn't help but slapped the short man on the head, subconsciously glanced at the driver with a blue face, and touched his chin Said, "At most we have the same identity as him now, maybe we all just died? He wants to take us to the place where ghosts live?"

"No, we are not dead." Sitting behind them and listening, Jin Li couldn't help retorting, "Dead people don't have shadows, but we have..."

There were dim lights in the bus, and they all had shadows indeed.

"Boy, how do you know that if there is a shadow, it must be a living person?" Seeing Jin Li speak, the young man gave him a hostile look and said, then tilted his head and said, "I think the driver is also..."

Before the word "yes" was uttered, there was a sudden turn on the road, and the faint lights in the car were reflected on the driver Qinggui's face and body, but his shadow was not reflected...

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and the three young people took a deep breath. When they looked at Jin Li again, he opened his mouth, but his face turned red and he didn't say a word.

"Don't make any noise, keep your strength, we're about to get out of the car."

The gray-haired man looked out the car window, and in the distance where he couldn't see anything clearly, a village appeared faintly.

The bus made a roaring sound of the accelerator, and unknown birds flew in the grass on the side of the road. The gray-haired young man's eyes gradually became dignified and complicated, and the other people gradually tensed up.

Licking the slightly dry corners of his lips, Jin Li blinked, and sat upright on the seat like a primary school student, looking at the village outside the window from the corner of his eye, intending to wait and see what happened.

The dilapidated bus bumped and drove on the narrow road for a while, and the originally smooth road gradually became potholed.

The former little man refused to return to his seat, and squeezed between the seats of his two teammates.

The short man's complexion was very bad, his hands were covering his stomach, and he kept swallowing something in his throat.

Finally, the driver slammed on the brakes, his head slammed on the back of the front seat, and he vomited all over the floor with a "wow".

There was a sour smell in the car, Jin Li held his nose, and couldn't help but feel that the game "Real World" is really very real... Even players who get motion sickness can do it so realistically, it's great.

"Damn it, you can't do it!" The young man was kicked by the short man by a coincidence, and his face darkened instantly.

He jumped up from the seat in a jerk, but saw the driver turn his head slowly, staring at him with two dark holes.

"Sit down!" the gray-haired man shouted.

The young man shivered, his legs limp on the seat.

The driver stopped the bus at the entrance of the village and said hoarsely, "Here we are."

After finishing speaking, he sat up from the driver's seat, and stepped straight out of the car door with a stiff body.When a few people got off the car cautiously, they could only see the old village and the white lanterns hanging high outside the house.

The driver has long since disappeared.

"What should we do now... Do we want to enter the village?" The young man rubbed his hands. The first thing he did when he got out of the car was to roll up a few clumps of weeds and wipe his leather shoes. After the wipe was clean, he still wrinkled his nose, thinking The bad smell still hasn't dissipated.

The little man was silent and did not speak, but the other person said irritably: "This game is too strange, there is no plot guide or background introduction... Could it be that we are confused in this game? Wandering around in a village inhabited by people and ghosts?"

Standing behind a few people, Jin Li glanced at the pale little man. He saw that the little man's eye sockets were bruised and purple, and his whole body was surrounded by a faint gray, so he couldn't help blinking.

"Let's talk about it first in the village." The gray-haired man narrowed his eyes and said.

It can be seen that he is the central figure of the team, as long as he speaks, no one from the other three will have any objections.

But this time the young man took two big steps, walked up to Jin Li, pushed his shoulder, and said, "Boy, you go to the front."

The gray-haired man frowned, but said nothing.

Jin Li was pushed a bit, feeling a little unhappy, but he considered that he was only one person, but the opponent was a team of four, so he could only exhale, and kicked the small gravel under his feet unhappily, Slowly moved to the front of several people.

"You guys are on good terms." Jin Li said.

There are not many houses in the village, but the gates are closed tightly from house to house. Two white paper lanterns are hung in front of the gates of each house. When the wind blows, the paper lanterns will flutter and sway.

"Why do you say they hang white lanterns outside the door? It's so shabby." The cold wind blew past, and the young man followed Jin Li with his arms folded and complained to his teammates, "There is a ghost in this village." There are no shadows, and the driver doesn't know where to go...Are we going to stay here until the end of the game time?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but just after the young man finished speaking, he felt that there was a white shadow in front of his eyes, but when he looked back, there was nothing.Shaking his head, the young man threw his backhand on the short man's waist and said, "Hey, are you feeling better? If you still want to vomit, don't spit on me again."

The little man looked up at him, then lowered his head expressionlessly.

Suddenly, the gray-haired man said, "Did we pass by this place before?"

What they passed by now was an earthen tile house in the village. There was a big gap in the tiles on the tiled house, so the gray-haired man remembered clearly that they seemed to have passed here once.

"Hey, boy, how did you lead the way!" The young man reacted and looked at Jin Li with an unfriendly expression.

Jin Li looked innocent: "Didn't you find out that we have passed by here four times? I thought you should have seen it..."

"Did you do it on purpose!"

The young man's face darkened, and he was about to grab Jin Li's clothes, but was stopped by the gray-haired man.

"calm down."

The gray-haired man looked at the gap on the clay tile house and said in a deep voice, "I'll lead the way.

The young man snorted coldly, and raised his fist threateningly.

Jin Li twitched his nose, which was a little chilled by the cold wind, and suddenly missed the afternoon biscuits that Norman would prepare for him at this time every day.

Three minutes later, the five of them looked at the clay tile house in front of them, their expressions solemn.

"What's going on here?" The young man strode irritably in front of the Tuwa house, and said in a trembling voice, "Why do we keep turning in circles?" He gave Jin Li a vicious look, and suddenly said, "Say , Did you make a fool of yourself?!"

Jin Li wrinkled his nose, "It's not me."

"Then do you know how we can get out?" the gray-haired man asked him suddenly, there was no thought in his dark brown eyes.

"If the ghost hits the wall, you can walk out with your eyes closed." Jin Li said in a relaxed tone.

"Ghost hitting the wall?" Several people couldn't help but frowned, and the young man couldn't help asking, "What is that?"

Jin Li glanced at him, and said slowly: "It's just a kind of blindfold of the ghosts, so that you can clearly see the road in front of you, but you can only circle around in place."

The young man didn't believe him: "But where did the ghost come from? The driver before didn't know where he was going."

Jin Li blinked and looked towards the young man's elbow.

The gray-haired man walked beside Jin Li, and suddenly asked him, "How did you know that the dead have no shadow?"

Jin Li was stunned for a moment, turned his head to see the seriousness of the man's question, and corrected, "It's not that dead people don't have shadows, it's that ghosts don't have shadows. Well, it's just like him."

Saying that, Jin Li pointed to the little man next to the young man.

A gust of cool wind blew by, the young man stopped and looked at his partner beside him.The white moonlight fell on the little man... The little man stood there with a pale face, motionless.

He has no shadow.

Taking a deep breath, the young man and the other person stared wide-eyed, the two of them scrambled and beat the gray-haired man, and shouted at the short man in trembling voices: "Short...short?

The little man raised his head slowly, his face was blue and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it turned out to be exactly the same face as the bus driver!

A creepy cold air rose from the soles of his feet, and the young man fell to the ground limply. He couldn't believe that his teammates turned into ghosts under his nose!

how so!

The gray-haired man finally opened his eyes slightly, and he quickly called up the transparent team formation panel. As expected, the one belonging to the short man had turned gray.

And gray means being eliminated from the game.

when did it happen?How did it happen again?

Jin Li saw the disbelief of several people, so he had to say out loud: "Ghosts are invisible and invisible. What they want you to see must be their tricks. The driver didn't disappear after getting off the car." It was lost, but he erased the cover-up on us, and then waited for the opportunity to find a suitable carrier, and attached to the body of your companions."

After finishing speaking, Jin Li nodded for himself in satisfaction. It was the first time that he popularized knowledge about ghosts to ordinary people, and it felt very fresh.

Hearing the words, the gray-haired man was silent for a while, then looked at the ghost opposite them in puzzlement and vigilance, and said, "But how did this ghost do it? If he can possess anyone he wants, then Is it necessary for us to continue playing this game?"

The creepy grin on the ghost's face widened, its black eyes stared straight at the man, and it smiled "ho ho", as if mocking the man's ignorance.

"The power of ghosts comes from the fear in people's hearts." Jin Li looked at the ghost without changing his face, "The more you are afraid of him, the greater his power will naturally become. Your companion is because he is too scared and fit Every time I feel unwell, I am given an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Since you know that the dwarf will be possessed by ghosts, why didn't you tell us earlier?" The young man squatted on the ground and said with a pale face.

Jin Li blinked at him: "Anyway, I said, he will still be possessed by ghosts." Jin Li is still thinking about the young man provoking him in the car and pushing himself after getting off the car, so he just Scared him: "Just like now, even if I made everything clear, aren't you still too scared to sit on the ground and stand up?"

The ghost's dark eyes rolled, and it let out a strange laugh, as if agreeing.
