Li Xiangling turned the compass over. There was a ghost-like pattern engraved on the bottom.
"What is the meaning of this?" I've seen compasses before, and they're usually carved with historical names or paintings.
"This is the sign of the Ghost Gate opening. That's right. It's this compass that opened the Ghost Gate, which is why ghosts and monsters continue to appear in this city.”Li Xiangling said firmly.
Finally, I found this crucial thing and also found the source of the ghost. It seemed that the problem could be solved easily, so I heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the fact was that my estimation was too idealistic. I didn't know how to control the Hellgate. I thought that Li Xiangling knew so much, so she naturally knew. However, not only did she not deal with it, she even gave the compass back to Li Changtian, making us look at each other.
"Xiangling, what are you doing?" I asked, puzzled.
Li Xiangling hesitated for a while, but she finally told us the truth. She couldn't do anything about it at the moment, and the only one who could control the compass was Li Changtian, the rich kid.
The Hellgate was the only legitimate way for the little ghosts from the netherworld to come to the Yang Realm. It had always been controlled by its controller, and almost no one could cross it. But now, the compass was taken by Li Changtian, so he naturally became the guardian of the Hellgate.
As for the previous few times he had released the little ghosts, it was because he had unknowingly touched the switch under the compass with water in his hand, causing the ghost door to open slightly. However, he did not know magic after all, and he only got a little wet, so the ghost door was very limited. Only one little ghost came out at a time, and then it automatically closed because it dried up. Last night, when we came to the villa, Li Changtian thought that a demon had broken in. He was so nervous that he knocked over his cup and wet the compass, causing the ghost door to open for a long time.
"After all this time, it was our arrival that scared Li Changtian, and he accidentally opened the ghost door?”I couldn't believe what I heard. It was actually because of Li Xiangling and my arrival that caused last night's crisis.
"That's true. However, since the ghost gate has already opened, it won't close before it dries up. It's just that the sun rose this morning and the yang qi was too strong, forcing those ghosts back to the compass.”Li Xiangling said truthfully.
"Surrounding? Didn't you go back to the netherworld?"
She shook her head and raised her voice slightly as she replied," Didn't I tell you before? The little ghosts that come out of the Ghost Gate will not return unless they are dead or captured!”
No wonder Li Xiangling was a little excited. I really forgot.
That's not right. If those ghosts didn't go back, where did they go? Zi Yan didn't give any hints in my body, which means there's no ghost energy in Li Chang Tian's house.
The dark city, the empty streets, and the cold night wind. If one put them together, one would know what had happened!
"We've been tricked!"
Li Xiangling and I shouted at the same time. We looked at each other, then dragged Li Changtian and ran out. We had to go back to the car to defend, or it would be too late.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Li Changtian was still in the dark. I dragged him from the second floor to the first floor with the compass in his hand. Then, I dragged him into the car that was parked at the door. He almost fell down a few times.
When I reached the door, I could already feel the cold outside and the danger that I couldn't see with my own eyes.
The door was locked, and the talisman was taken out. It was stuck to all the gaps in the car, including the gaps in the door and the window. The sunroof was also stuck with yellow paper. Li Changtian didn't understand what was going on, but he knew what was going on. He held the damn compass tightly.
If I'm not wrong, in the ten minutes after the sky started to darken and we returned to the middle of the villa, the countless little ghosts had already left the house and came out to every corner of the city. Right now, this small city in the south by the sea had become a ghost city. Now that he thought about it, when he entered the neighborhood, he didn't even see the security uncle. He must have met with an accident.
Last night, I relied on my own blood to stain the black cloth to resist. However, I was also an ordinary person. My blood wouldn't grow back in a day. If I used so much more, I would die of blood loss before I was killed by the ghost. This plan couldn't be used again today.
"Changtian, if anything happens to us, drive the car directly to Snake Mountain Village in Yuenan and look for my master.”Li Xiangling seemed to be giving instructions on her funeral, which also showed how urgent and dangerous the situation was at the moment.
"This, what are you talking about? I don't know that place at all. What master? Aren't you going?”Li Changtian didn't realize what was going on at all. His brain was filled with mush.
Li Xiangling shook her head. She probably didn't want to talk anymore. She had nothing to say to such a fool. It was a pity that he had become the gatekeeper of the Ghost Gate. Those ghosts naturally wouldn't harm him. Otherwise, if he died, the Ghost Gate would lose control and be in danger of being closed. This was the important reason why Li Changtian could save his life several times.
The atmosphere gradually became heavy. The air was abnormally quiet, but it was this calmness that made people panic.
Li Xiangling took out the map and flipped through it. She asked Li Changtian to drive west. It was the fastest way to get out of the city. There were no cars on the road now. There was no need to worry about traffic lights or traffic jam. They could go wherever they wanted. If they could leave this place, perhaps there would be a turning point, but if they waited here until dawn, it would probably not work. It was only past seven o'clock now, and dawn was still early.
If the ghost gate in the compass sent the ghost out again at midnight, it would add insult to injury. The ghost from yesterday had not been sent away yet!
Li Changtian had no idea what to do. He was obedient. He put down the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator, heading west.
After the car left Xinglin Community, the uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. The city under the dark curtain seemed abnormally terrifying. However, from the time I entered the city until now, all the ghosts had disappeared. The enemies hiding in the dark made me even more uneasy. I could only call out in my heart,'Jessica, where did those ghosts go?”
"West City Funeral Parlor."
Zi Yan replied coldly. Her skills were indeed not simple. I had neglected the funeral parlor. That was the place with the most Yin Qi. At sunset, the Yang Qi had not completely faded. It was understandable that the little ghosts would go there to seek protection.
But the problem was that the funeral parlor was located in the west of the city!
And we are currently heading west!
An ominous premonition suddenly welled up in my mind. I grabbed the city map from Li Xiangling's hand.
"Su Li, what are you doing?" Li Xiangling asked, startled.
I waved my hand and stared at the map. In just five seconds, the words 'funeral parlor' appeared in front of me. It was indeed the west of the city, and it was indeed on the road we were passing by.
I quickly raised my head and ignored Li Xiangling's gaze. I grabbed Li Changtian's shoulder and asked," Where are we now?"”
"Ah?" Maybe Li Changtian was distracted, he didn't hear her clearly.
"Tell me, where are we?" I asked again anxiously.
Li Changtian turned his head to the right and tried to look. It was dark outside, so he could only use the headlights. Plus, the car was covered with yellow talisman papers, so his vision was not wide. After looking for a while, he pointed to a tall building beside the road and said," Isn't this the Fenxiang Building? We'll be out of the city in a few hundred meters. Don't worry!"”
"Fenxiang Building? Did the funeral parlor go over?" I looked forward to a reassuring result, and my eyes began to search the map.
"No, the funeral parlor is still in front.”
I heard Li Changtian's desperate voice. Almost at the same time, I saw on the map that the funeral parlor was indeed about 600 meters west of Fenxiang Building. It only took half a minute to drive.
"Stop the car!" I used almost all my strength to shout out loud.
Li Changtian obviously didn't react. I was so angry that I wanted to beat him up. If I hadn't sat in the back seat and let Li Xiangling sit in the passenger seat, I would have stepped on the brakes.
However, it was too late. Before Li Changtian could understand, a strong gust of wind suddenly rushed into the car. Li Changtian, who had only put one hand on the steering wheel, found it difficult to control it, so he immediately put his other hand on the steering wheel.
His mouth was open and his teeth were shaking. His entire body was shaking violently. It was obvious that he was using a lot of strength to control the steering wheel.
Fortunately, we all had our seatbelts on. Otherwise, we might have been thrown out if we were to shake left and right.
"The surroundings are filled with ghost qi."
Zi Yan's thoughts were mixed in with our screams.
Since things have already come to this, there is naturally no need for her to remind us. We all understand that we have already fallen into a siege.
Not long after I asked Li Changtian to stop the car, the car arrived at the entrance of the funeral parlor in the west of the city. It was too late to stop, so I asked Li Changtian to hold the steering wheel as hard as he could and step on the accelerator, rushing out of the city.
The faster the speed, the more violent the bumps and collisions. This was the main road of the city, and the streets were flat. It would not be like this. It was just the noise created by the little ghosts climbing around the car.
However, there were two sides to the story. It was precisely because we didn't stop the car and sped up to escape that most of the ghosts didn't have time to catch up. Naturally, they couldn't catch up to the car's speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. The number of ghosts outside the car was much less than last night.
However, I didn't relax even though there were fewer of them. With such a large number of people and such speed, they were still able to create a huge commotion. Their ghost techniques were already extraordinary, and they didn't seem to be like those weak little ghosts from last night.
At this moment, I remembered what Li Xiangling said about the tens of thousands of ghosts wandering the streets. Could it be that the Ghost Gate had really been completely opened?
