Chapter 172 Li Jun, arson

On the haunted road, it was quiet and silent.

Wang Xiaoming and the other two sat quietly in the car, looking around vigilantly.

Tatata!
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the distance, as if someone was running fast.

"Help! There's a ghost!"

A series of cries for help followed, immediately making the three people in the car look solemn.

"Professor, innocent people have been sucked into the Haunted Road!" Li Jun said with a grim expression.

Having served in the army for many years, his mission as a soldier prevents him from standing idly by. However, he has a mission now, and protecting Wang Xiaoming is the most important thing.

"Li Jun, don't be impulsive. Support will arrive soon. Your task now is to protect Professor Wang." Zhao Jianguo's voice came from the intercom.

After Li Jun contacted the headquarters just now, the satellite phone has not been hung up. Zhao Jianguo is using the satellite phone to understand the situation here.

"Captain Zhao, don't worry. I won't act impulsively." Li Jun picked up the phone and said solemnly.

Just then, the noise in the distance was getting closer and closer, and a young man and woman ran over breathlessly.

Behind the two men, there was a ferocious figure, following them slowly. It should be because the two men did not violate the rules of killing, so the evil ghost did not take action.

"Snap!" There was a crisp sound.

The woman's cell phone fell to the ground due to the intense exercise.

When the woman heard the noise, she looked back and her face was instantly filled with fear, because the evil ghost that had been following her had appeared in front of her.

The evil ghost was seen holding the woman's dropped cell phone in one hand and reaching for her head with the other.

Obviously, this woman has violated the evil spirit's killing pattern and is about to die at the hands of the evil spirit.

"Go to hell!" a loud shout rang out.

The man who was running in front also came to the woman's side. He plucked up the courage and punched the evil ghost, trying to save his wife.

"remarkably brave!"

A black light flashed, and Wang Xiaoming appeared in front of the two of them, and the terrifying ghost just now disappeared.

"You... who are you?" The woman, still in shock, asked when she saw Wang Xiaoming suddenly appear in front of her.

"You were the one who saved us just now?" The man regained some common sense, recalled what had just happened, and made a rational judgment.

However, the man in front of them did not respond to their doubts. Instead, two people got out of the car nearby and said, "It was Professor Wang who saved you."

"Professor Wang?"

The man thought it was a strange title, but he quickly realized what was happening and said, "Thank you, Professor Wang, for saving my life."

Wang Xiaoming nodded and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for having the guts to throw the punch just now!"

Li Jun on the side also admired him and said: "Under that situation, you still dared to take action, not bad!"

The man scratched his head embarrassedly, looked at the woman next to him and said, "I just reacted subconsciously."

The woman still looked frightened. She looked around and asked, "Do you know where this place is? Why are there... ghosts?"

"Brothers, my wife and I went out shopping. I don't know what happened. As we were walking, there was no one around. Later, we ran into the evil ghost. We saw that several people were killed by it. It was really terrifying!"

The man also looked at Wang Xiaoming and the others with a puzzled look on his face. He could sense that these people knew something and were not as calm as ordinary people.

"You can think of this place as a ghost wall. There are still many evil ghosts like the one you just saw here," Li Jun explained.

"Can we escape from this ghost wall?" the woman asked in a crying voice.

Wang Xiaoming left the explanation to Li Jun, then he walked aside and picked up the satellite phone to communicate with Zhao Jianguo.

"Professor, do you really want to explore the Haunted Road? You should know that Ye Zhen from the Supernatural Forum disappeared while handling this supernatural incident. I think it is better to wait for rescue from the headquarters."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jianguo advised earnestly.

"I am well aware of the dangers of the Ghost Road, but there is a place here that is very useful for my research. I must go there in person."

Wang Xiaoming continued: "If help arrives, ask them to rescue others first. Don't worry about my safety. Although I am a logistics staff, this fierce ghost road can't hold me back."

Seeing that Wang Xiaoming had made up his mind, Zhao Jianguo had no choice but to agree. After asking where Wang Xiaoming was going, he hung up the phone.

Because Wang Xiaoming and his team were going to delve deeper into supernatural events, they might encounter some evil spirits that could invade through the phone, so for safety reasons, both parties hung up the phone.

At this time, the two rescued men and women also understood their current situation and decided to stay with Wang Xiaoming and the others.

Li Jun also learned about Wang Xiaoming's idea of ​​delving deeper into supernatural events. Although he did not agree with it in his heart and was afraid that something might go wrong, he hesitated and did not say it out loud.

In Li Jun's opinion, Wang Xiaoming must have his reasons for doing this, and he just needs to obey orders.

"Okay, everyone come here," Wang Xiaoming called everyone forward, "Take out your cell phones, I'll give you something to protect yourselves."

Several people took out their phones obediently, but the woman said with a bitter face: "My phone is broken."

"Wife, use my phone." The man handed over his phone without hesitation.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, "Don't worry, a mobile phone can also be used."

Wang Xiaoming just waved his hand and strange music started playing on everyone's cell phones, making people's hair stand on end.

Afterwards, this strange music seemed to be imprinted in their minds. Even though the phone was no longer playing, they could still hear the music.

"This is a kind of music that can defend against attacks from evil spirits and keep you safe here." Wang Xiaoming briefly introduced the ghost-chasing bell.

During this period, the ghost-chasing bells distributed were damaged from time to time. This reported to Wang Xiaoming that he could make new ghost-chasing bells, which were just right for protecting them.

Then he took out some chalk from his pocket and handed it to the driver, saying, "You and the other two should not go out. Stay in the car and wait for rescue. After I leave, use this chalk to draw a circle around the car. It can also defend against attacks by evil spirits."

The driver hesitated: "Professor Wang, this..."

The two men and women also looked hesitant and felt that it was safer to stay with Wang Xiaoming.

"The place we are going to next is very dangerous. There are many evil spirits and they don't have the energy to protect you." At this time, Li Jun stood up and explained.

Following Li Jun's explanation, the three of them obediently got into the car and waited for rescue.

Watching Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun walk into the eerie street, the woman in the car asked worriedly, "Are they okay?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Nothing will happen." The woman's husband comforted her.

…There was no one on the quiet street, and the shops on both sides of the road were extremely dilapidated.

As we go further into the Haunted Road, the light becomes dimmer. If you look up at the sky, you will find a thick layer of gray fog blocking the light.

"Strange!" Li Jun walked in front and whispered, "We have been walking for so long, why haven't we encountered any evil spirits? I remember the intelligence recorded that there are a lot of evil spirits in the Fierce Ghost Road."

"They were all imprisoned by Ye Zhen," Wang Xiaoming said calmly as he walked behind, "Although he didn't completely eliminate the Fierce Ghost Road, he almost emptied the evil spirits in the Fierce Ghost Road."

Li Jun showed a look of understanding and continued to lead the way.

Recently, the story of Ye Zhen and the Fierce Ghost Road has been very popular on the Ghost Rider website. With Ye Zhen's strength, he is indeed capable of clearing out the evil ghosts wandering on the Fierce Ghost Road.

After walking about two hundred meters, the street lights on both sides of the road began to light up, and Li Jun could even see ghost shadows flash by in the moment the lights flickered.

"Keep going," Wang Xiaoming showed a hint of anticipation on his face, "We're almost there."

Sure enough, after walking more than a hundred meters, shops run by evil spirits appeared on both sides of the road. This was the core of the Fierce Ghost Road.

"Professor, where are we going?" Li Jun looked at the shops on both sides cautiously, fearing that evil spirits would jump out of them.

Wang Xiaoming glanced around and didn't find the target. He frowned and said, "It's not here. Keep going inside."

There are a few shops scattered along the road, including a tailor shop, a tattoo parlor, and a dumpling restaurant. They look normal from the outside, but they are actually full of evil spirits.

Without staying too long, the two walked quickly towards the depths of Menggui Road. Wang Xiaoming discovered that there were not as many shops here as he had imagined. Most of the shops were closed, and only a few were still open for business.

He also saw several shops with their signboards broken in half and their doors and windows falling apart, but they were still operating. This showed that business in the world of evil spirits was not easy either.

It wasn't until he saw a shop with two big lanterns hanging on it that a smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face.

"arrive."

……

"Shen Liang, what's the situation? Are they still unable to enter Menggui Road?" Zhao Jianguo's anxious voice was heard in the headquarters operator's office.

Zhao Jianguo's head is about to explode now, because an accident happened in the first step of the rescue plan. The Menggui Road showed abnormal changes and began to repel foreign ghost riders from entering.

The key is that the ghost domain of the Menggui Road is incredibly strong. Even if the headquarters wants to force its way into the Menggui Road, it cannot do it.

"Someone went in! Captain Zhao, a ghost rider went in, it's Ah Hong!" Even through the phone, Zhao Jianguo could hear Shen Liang's excitement.

"Tell us the details quickly. How did Ah Hong get in?" Zhao Jianguo asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure. After Ah Hong arrived at the scene, she just tried it out briefly and then entered the Haunted Road." Shen Liang said.

Zhao Jianguo immediately hung up the phone, came behind Ah Hong's operator, and shouted, "Quick, contact Ah Hong!"

With the beeping sound of the phone, the call was quickly connected.

"Ahhong, how did you get in?" Zhao Jianguo asked as soon as the call was connected.

"It may be because I have been to a haunted road once before." Ah Hong's voice came from the microphone.

"No," Zhao Jianguo quickly recalled, "Among the ghost riders who went to rescue this time, there were also people who had been to the Fierce Ghost Road before. They were also rejected by the Fierce Ghost Road."

"I'm different from them," Ah Hong explained, "I controlled the evil spirits in one of the shops in the Haunted Road and replaced the identity of the evil spirit, so the Haunted Road did not reject me."

That's it!

Zhao Jianguo understood instantly that Ah Hong was now equivalent to a resident of Menggui Road, so she would not be excluded. However, in this case, only Ah Hong could go to support the professor.

"Ah Hong, you are the only one who can enter the Ghost Road at the moment, so I have to trouble you this time. The situation inside is complicated, and Professor Wang's safety is the most important!" Zhao Jianguo said solemnly.

"I see!" Ah Hong asked doubtfully, "However, I just found the car Professor Wang was riding in, and Professor Wang and Li Jun were not on it."

"Yes, the professor was not in the car, but he told me where he was going when he left." Zhao Jianguo said, "He said he was going to the wax museum, where he had his research materials."

"Wax Museum?!"

In the shop in front of me, there are two big red and white lanterns hanging on the left and right. The red one is like blood and the white one is like snow.

Half of the door was missing, as if it had been burned and dissolved like wax. Through the dim light coming through the shop, one could see the shadows of people inside.

These figures were constantly changing, sometimes separating, sometimes overlapping, like a lively dance party. The strange thing was that no sound came from it.

"Professor, something is wrong here!" Li Jun could feel the creepy sense of crisis that the wax museum brought him.

"There is indeed a problem!" Looking at the wax museum in front of him, Wang Xiaoming's face was solemn, and the spiritual power in his body warned that it was very dangerous here.

He casually took out his silver bracelet and performed a pendulum divination, concluding that it was safe and he could go in.

"Let's go in and see what's inside." Wang Xiaoming put away the silver bracelet and stepped into the wax museum first.

picture! alike!

Inside the wax museum, human wax figures are lined up. Some of them are frightened, some are angry, and their expressions and looks are exactly like real people.

click!
A strange sound was heard, which attracted attention in the silent environment.

Wang Xiaoming immediately turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, where several wax figures were entangled together, as if they were fighting or playing.

"Professor, look at the wax figures around us. They seem to be alive." Li Jun lowered his voice, fearing that he would disturb the wax figures here.

They are indeed alive, or rather, these wax figures used to be alive.

The wax figures that had different expressions just now had changed their appearances, and they all looked at Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun with cold faces.

Kaka!

All the wax figures in the shop suddenly started moving. Although their movements were a little stiff, they were not slow. They walked towards the two people.

Li Jun's face turned cold, and the green flame turned into a ring of fire, spreading in all directions, knocking the wax figure that was about to pounce on him away.

The wax figures fell to the ground and wanted to get up and fight back, but Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp was not that simple. The green will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have encountered an accelerant and instantly ignited the wax figures.

These burning human-shaped wax figures seemed to have intelligence, all showing expressions of fear, and then turned into liquid wax under the burning of the ghost fire.

But not all the wax statues were set on fire. For example, the few wax statues that had made the noise just now were still intact. The will-o'-the-wisp fire just now could not ignite these wax statues at all, or they were extinguished by a stronger supernatural power the moment they were ignited.

Looking at these wax figures, Wang Xiaoming showed a look of surprise on his face, as if he saw an "acquaintance".

"Li Jun, keep setting fire, burn it!"

　Thanks to O逆倒陰陰O for the reward
