Chapter 1078: The Ghost in the Road
Lin Zhen is naturally not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
However, he has a very deep understanding of his own strength.
After recovering his memory, confirming the true existence of ghosts, and gaining an in-depth understanding of Sneaky's combat power through his previous encounter at the Lichun Hotel, Lin Zhen's understanding of himself deepened once again.
He knew very well that with his current ability, it would be extremely difficult to defeat a sneaky head-on.
Even for a ghost like Liu Nicai, it is very difficult to escape from his clutches.
And that murderer is a being who can control higher-level ghosts.
Lin Zhen didn't think that he could turn disaster into good fortune every time.
The murderer was indeed immediately afraid of something hidden in Lin Zhen's body, but Lin Zhen's own family knew about his affairs.
He knew very well that he could not control the power in his body at all.
It is impossible for him to regard this uncontrollable force as his own ability.
Because of this, Lin Zhen only needed to think for a moment to confirm that he did not have the ability to defeat the murderer.
But Liu Nicai doesn't think so.
In her opinion, Lin Zhen did not face the murderer because he was afraid.
She said coldly: "Why do you think I want to rescue you?"
"If you can't catch that guy, then you are of no use to me!"
As she said that, she flashed and came to Lin Zhen in an instant. She raised her translucent right hand and grabbed Lin Zhen's throat.
"You...even if you kill me, it's useless...I can't even beat you, how can I beat that guy..." Lin Zhen said.
As if he felt that Lin Zhen's words made sense, Liu Nicai let go of his hand.
"If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to catch him again." Liu Nicai's ghost looked at Lin Zhen and said.
Lin Zhen touched his body again, then shrugged and said helplessly: "I don't even have my cell phone with me. If you can help me call for reinforcements, maybe there is a way to catch that guy."
Liu Nicai was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said in a cold voice: "If I can call for reinforcements, what else do you think I need from you?"
"You guy, weren't you quite capable when you first arrested me? Why are you like a waste now!"
Lin Zhen originally planned to retort: "Your strength is many times weaker than the murderer this time."
However, when he thought that Liu Nicai might be angered by this, he decisively suppressed these words.
Lin Zhen used a euphemism and said: "You were just an ordinary person at the time, but this guy can control Sneaky, and even the King of Ghosts. Do you think you two can be compared?"
It seemed that Lin Zhen's words were reasonable, and Liu Nicai didn't know how to refute them for a while.
While the two were talking, at the top of the stairs, a tall figure was slowly moving downward...
Lin Zhen, who had his back turned to the stairs leading to the top, did not notice this figure. Instead, it was Liu Nicai's ghost, who reminded Lin Zhen: "Be careful behind you!"
Lin Zhen turned around suddenly, only to feel a gust of cold wind blowing towards his face!
Before he had time to react, his whole body was knocked to the ground by the sinister wind.
All he could hear was that Liu Nicai's ghost let out a sharp roar, and then flew past his eyes very quickly!
Lin Zhenqiang climbed up, only to see Liu Nicai's ghost entangled with another female ghost.
Due to the fierce battle between the two ghosts, Lin Zhen couldn't see the appearance of the other female ghost for a while. He could only see that she was wearing a bright red dress.
Dying in red clothes is the worst ghost among ghosts, but for a murderer who can control the King of Ghosts, it is normal for him to control some fierce ghosts.
The two ghosts bit each other and kept making shrill screams.
Lin Zhen thought for a moment and decided to leave here first.
Just as he said to Liu Nicai's ghost before, the murderer was obviously no ordinary person. Even if he knew that he was upstairs, Lin Zhen had no confidence that he could defeat him.
Rather than throwing yourself into a trap, it is better to get yourself out of danger first and then seek professional help.
After all, the murderer had just informed Lin Zhen of his goal through the ghost's mouth, which was to control Lin Zhen's will and body.
Lin Zhen understood that if the murderer was allowed to succeed, the murderer would definitely use his own body as a cover to harm more innocent people.
Although Lin Zhen is a little conceited, he is not a fool. In this situation, it is easy to make a choice.
As for Liu Nicai's ghost, she was already dead. She did not reincarnate and still stayed in the Yang Realm. She was still obsessed with her so-called "artworks".
Investigating the root cause, Liu Nicai is also a complete pervert and a murderer. Compared with the murderer, he is no different at all.
The reason why she took action to save Lin Zhen was just because she wanted to use Lin Zhen's hand to help her get rid of those who tarnished her "artwork". It was not because of any conscience at all.
Because of this, Lin Zhen would not feel any guilt for abandoning her and running away alone.
But just as Lin Zhen turned the corner of the stairs and continued walking down, he saw a figure slowly turning around in the darkness at the bottom of the stairs.
In the corridor, the darkness caused by the formation set up by the murderer was forcibly dispelled by Liu Nicai's ghost.
But now, Liu Nicai's ghost is still staying on the upper floor, fighting with the female ghost in red.
There was no light source in Lin Zhen's hands at all, and it was almost pitch black when he looked ahead.
The figure was blurry and only an outline could be seen.
Lin Zhen took two steps back, trying to keep himself covered by weak light sources.
Since there are unknown things ahead, he can no longer proceed rashly.
"Kekeke..."
A strange sound, like bones rubbing against each other, came from under the stairs.
Lin Zhen frowned.
Being able to make such a weird sound, the black figure below is obviously not a normal human being.
But thinking about it, the murderer spent a lot of time and effort to set up such a large magic circle, so how could he let ordinary people appear here.
The one blocking the way must be another ghost.
At this time, the thing under the stairs seemed to have noticed Lin Zhen.
It turned around and walked towards the top of the stairs step by step...
As it walked out of the darkness and kept approaching, its outline became clearer and clearer in front of Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen saw a neck with long sleeves, probably as long as an adult's arm.
This neck is connected to a bloated body, which is like an enlarged version of a mouse...
As the opponent entered the light range, and his overall appearance was revealed to Lin Zhen's eyes, Lin Zhen felt a discomfort in his stomach and almost vomited directly.
The weird ghost under the stairs has a weird duck head and blood-red eyes.
And its neck, which is as long as an adult's arm, has no skin at all on the outside, but is divided into strange segments.
If you look carefully, you will notice that every section of its neck is a mouse head.
Its eyes are red, its hair is distinct, and you can even see the teeth in its mouth...
"Damn, duck-necked monster!" Lin Zhen couldn't help but cursed.
"What the hell is this!"
At the bottom of the stairs, the duck-necked ghost could only move up the stairs at a very slow speed due to its bloated body and short limbs.
It stretched out its neck composed of a mouse head and a duck head with red eyes, trying to bite Lin Zhen's leg.
Lin Zhen quickly backed away and at the same time found the right moment to step on its duck head!
Since Lin Zhen had no intention of showing mercy at all, the duck's head was stepped on the steps of the stairs, and with a heart-wrenching sound of bone cracking, it was crushed to pieces...
However, the duck-necked ghost did not die. Its neck was twisted like an earthworm, and the joint between its head was violently broken.
Then, all the rat heads above it made strange squeaking sounds and continued to extend towards Lin Zhen.
"Go to hell!" Lin Zhen kicked the rat head and duck neck against the wall of the corridor, then quickly walked downstairs and jumped over the opponent's body!
This time, he went directly from the weak light into darkness, and everything in front of him suddenly became pitch black.
Fortunately, he did not step on the steps, otherwise he would probably fall on the spot.
After Lin Zhen stood firm, he did not stop there.
He stepped forward and tentatively continued walking downstairs.
Behind him, the duck-necked ghost was still making strange noises, and judging by the sound, it seemed to be trying to move its bulky body, turning its head and chasing downstairs.
Lin Zhen went down step by step to test, and silently counted the number of floors and the distance between steps in his mind.
When he slowly moved to the corner of the next floor, Lin Zhen's body had roughly memorized the stairs.
Next, his speed downstairs became more than twice as fast as before.
Behind him, the duck-necked ghost who was about to catch up with him made a strange cry.
Listening to the sound, it was obvious that he was being pushed further and further away.
Lin Zhen was excited and continued walking downwards, thinking that he would be able to escape in a short time.
Soon, he arrived at a corner platform again.
At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly felt his shoulders being grasped tightly by two strong hands.
A burst of pain hit him, Lin Zhen's heart sank, and he thought: It's broken!
In the darkness, he was able to grasp his shoulders with such precision that the other party obviously couldn't be a human being.
Sure enough, Lin Zhenxuan felt a gust of wind blowing behind him.
At the same time, a fishy smell floated into his nose, making Lin Zhen feel like nauseating.
Without even thinking about it, there must be a grinning evil ghost behind him.
Lin Zhen bent his right hand, then suddenly twisted his body and elbowed him backwards!
However, he didn't hit anything. Instead, he almost missed the target.
Chapter completed!
