Strange story player

Zhong Xueran's breath was stagnant.

Sure enough... both the ghost and her knew it well.

The ghost knows that she is stalling for time, and is also waiting for her to lead the wrong way.

In addition, I learned another piece of information.

There is actually a time limit to find Roupo.

I only have three minutes left...

Zhong Xueran stopped pretending and immediately got up from the ground, rushed to the top of the slope and looked around.

As long as you find a tomb with no traces of visiting the tomb...

However, at this look, Zhong Xueran suddenly shuddered.

She shook her head in disbelief and walked down the slope step by step.

Indeed... there may be no one paying homage to this ghost's tomb, but what Zhong Xueran didn't expect was that there were a lot of other tombs that no one was paying homage to either!

At a glance through the moonlight, on various slopes filled with graveyards, the graves with and without traces of worship were actually half and half...

Oops……

This is really bad.

"Click——"

"Kaka——"

What is this sound?

The sound was relatively weak at first, and Zhong Xueran thought she heard it wrong, but when she listened carefully, she found that the sound came from behind her!

This is an obvious crunching sound of bones, it’s the ghost behind him moving!

She didn't dare to look back, but just from the sound, she could imagine the scene behind her. The ghost's skeleton was expanding... as if it was showing its original shape.

Zhong Xueran felt a chill, and she forced herself to calm down. She hadn't waited for death yet, so as long as there was still time, she must not give up...

I can't die like this, I can't die here like this!

Xu Yi paid for this life with his own life. I can never die here!

Zhong Xueran did not fall into despair, but she also could not find any solution.

She could only walk in this group of graves in vain before the final countdown of three minutes.

The shadows of these tombs look even more miserable in the moonlight.

Zhong Xueran suddenly had a strange feeling.

This place seems to have gotten bigger...

The tombs are taller, the ravines on the slopes are deeper, and even the sky seems to be higher...

etc!

It seems like I'm getting shorter? !

Zhong Xueran suddenly realized that the cracking of bones just now was not coming from the ghost behind him, but from himself!

Her bones are actually shrinking!

When she came back to her senses in shock, her entire body size had shrunk to less than 1.3 meters...

The clothes on my body have become extremely loose, and my shoes have become ill-fitting...

I'm dying!

Zhong Xueran turned his head suddenly, and what he saw was the fierce ghost holding a red umbrella, with a terrifying face that was grinning.

The outermost layer of black paper clothing on its body has completely fallen off, revealing its original attire.

This ghost seems to really come from ancient times?

A voice suddenly appeared in Zhong Xueran's mind...

[Dad, every generation of our Zhong family has to enter the pupil realm. Can’t we catch those ghosts and use them ourselves? 】

[No... You have to remember that people are people and ghosts are ghosts. People can never catch ghosts. Even if they seem to control the ghosts, they will only let themselves fall into hell and never recover. 】

[Dad, why do you know so well? 】

[Because such people existed in ancient times a long time ago... We have records in our brochures... If you encounter ghosts from ancient times in the future, it is possible that the descendants of that kind of people are controlling them. Be careful, they are wearing human skin, but they have no human heart...]

【Who are they? 】

[They... are also Taoist priests. 】

【But, why...】

Zhong Xueran's eyes gradually widened. The costume of this fierce ghost holding a red umbrella undoubtedly came from ancient times!

But just now, its clothes were covered with a layer of black paper clothes as a cover. Could it be that the person who let it out to attack him was the kind that his father said before, the kind that can control ghosts, wearing human skin, without Taoist priest with human heart? !

Could it be that the back figure I saw before was a Taoist priest I had seen?

While he was thinking about it, Zhong Xueran's body shrank by a few centimeters.

She felt no pain at all.

If this continues, once three minutes are up, I may simply disappear from this world!

No...absolutely not!

On a rainy night, bursts of cold wind blew, and the chill spread throughout the body. It was impossible to tell whether it came from the soul or from the outside world.

There is only less than a minute left, what should I do?

Any other clues?

Li Gui is holding a red umbrella, dressed in ancient costume, with a sinister smile on his face and red eyes.

Zhong Xueran stared back at it without showing any signs of weakness, and she still did not give up thinking.

While looking at the clothes on this ghost, she suddenly thought of something!

Why did the person who released this ghost dress it in black clothes made of paper?

It's a ghost. What's the reason for doing this? Could it be that that person just had a sudden idea and burned a black suit for it to wear?

No……

It won't be that simple.

Since this ghost is coming for me, the act of dressing it in black paper clothes is just for me to see.

etc!

If I hadn't fallen down and accidentally broken the ghost's clothes, I wouldn't have been able to tell with the naked eye that the ghost's coat was made of paper. In other words... what that person wanted to hide was this ghost. Ghosts wearing ancient clothes, or even from ancient times?

Is he afraid that I will guess his identity? No...if everything goes well, I will become a dead person, and there is no need for him to have such worries.

There is only one possibility left...the fact that this ghost comes from ancient times will directly affect whether I can successfully escape from this strange story!

That's why he put the ghost in black paper clothes and hid the most important clue!

One thought is connected, and everywhere is connected.

When Zhong Xueran turned around again and thought about the "Roupo" that the ghost said, other ideas suddenly appeared.

Could it be that a certain slope in this place was called "Rou Slope" in the past?

She thought about this possibility, but she could only recall the current name after arriving at the scene, let alone the past name.

The ancient name for Roupo... Hey, wait, Rou? !

Zhong Xueran's eyes suddenly lit up!

She ran away!

Got it, everything figured out!

Poe was still Poe in ancient times.

But meat in ancient times was not necessarily meat!

The characters for "肉" and "月" were written in the same way in ancient times. Even in the evolution of writing, the characters with "肉月 beside" are mostly related to the human body and muscles, such as "spleen", "gallbladder", etc. ”, “kidney”, “leg”, “brain” and so on.

Therefore, the meat slope this ghost is looking for is actually Yue slope!

And Yuepo is... right here!

Zhong Xueran stopped and stood in front of a crescent-shaped slope. He turned around and looked at it breathlessly: "This is the meat slope you are looking for!"

The female ghost holding a red umbrella stared at Zhong Xueran with an extremely ugly face, but she didn't make any move. She just walked step by step... slowly to an abandoned grave on the slope, and her figure gradually became transparent. , as if integrated into the tomb, completely disappeared.

Zhong Xueran looked at her body. The moment it disappeared, her crazily shrunken body had returned to its original shape.

Her eyes fell back on this wild grave. As expected, no one was sweeping the grave.

Zhong Xueran took out a few candies from her pocket, which she prepared to replenish herself with energy. She gently placed them in front of the grave, clasped her hands together, and turned to leave.

Back on the road, she immediately saw a man with a mobile phone flashlight looking carefully at the footprints on the muddy mountain road. It was Xia Nan.

Xia Nan seemed to feel her gaze. She looked up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Welcome back, Miss Zhong."
