Chapter 187 Shuttle and Ghost Mountain

Underground laboratory,
After receiving the promotion ceremony to Sequence Five Astronomer, Wang Xiaoming found Pang Dong and asked him to contact the Bulaotun Observatory in Dajing City to prepare for the subsequent drawing of the star map.

Then he turned his gaze to the supernatural taxi in front of him. Drawing the star map still required some preparation, so there was no need to rush. The important thing now was how effective the supernatural taxi he had just refined was.
Although the feedback from the potion has shown that he was successful, the specific effect of this ability to travel through supernatural places still needs to be tested.

So he contacted Zhao Jianguo again and asked him to find an open space at the headquarters to conduct the experiment so that the comrades in the monitoring center could prepare in advance.

Zhao Jianguo on the other end of the phone was very happy to hear that the technology for traveling through the supernatural land had achieved results. However, when he heard that Wang Xiaoming wanted to test the supernatural taxi himself, he immediately raised an objection:

"Professor Wang, I know you are very capable and confident in this experiment, but I still have to say that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This is the first experiment, so I think we should be cautious.

I think Zhou Tong is a more suitable driver for this experiment. He has already mastered some of the supernatural powers of the ghost taxi and is the best candidate to drive the ghost taxi.

Professor, if you want to experience traveling through a mysterious place yourself, you can try it after you make sure that this technology is stable and harmless, and it won’t take too long.”

Wang Xiaoming did not hesitate too much and directly agreed to Zhao Jianguo's suggestion, because he had already known through digesting magic potions that there was no problem with the ability to travel through spiritual places, and the result would be the same no matter who went up.

This time it is called a test, but in fact it is a demonstration of the headquarters, demonstrating the ability to travel through supernatural places.

The time comes in the afternoon,

Zhou Tong was called to the playground again, and saw a scene that was much more solemn than the last time. This time, not only were there soldiers blocking the playground, but dozens of ghost riders were also present.

He saw several important leaders from the headquarters, including Cao Yanhua and Zhao Jianguo, in the stands.

Among these leaders stood an old man who looked very dangerous. He just glanced at him from a distance, and the old man seemed to sense his gaze and looked over here.

When Zhou Tong was seen by the old man, he felt cold all over, his hair stood on end, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

Fortunately, he was quickly awakened by the staff and brought to Wang Xiaoming.

Looking at the slightly nervous Zhou Tong, Wang Xiaoming comforted him with a few simple words, and then told him the precautions to take when driving the haunted taxi through the haunted places.

"I modified the taxi. When you turn on the high beam, you will see a phantom world outside the real world. As long as you turn to this phantom, you can travel through the spiritual world."

“Returning is also very simple. You just need to switch to low beam and an illusion of the real world will appear. Turn to the illusion and you can return to the real world.”

"Remember, no matter what happens when you arrive at the mysterious place, do not get off the car or stay too long. Turn on the lights immediately and return to the real world."

Zhou Tong was nervous and kept repeating to himself what Wang Xiaoming had just told him, fearing that he would forget it and get into danger.

In the stands,
Several leaders from the headquarters expressed their opinions on today's test. They were not actually worried about whether the test would be successful or not, because Wang Xiaoming had created so many miracles, and most of them were inclined to think that this test was just a formality.

These people were discussing the usefulness of this technology for traveling to supernatural places.

"With this technology, we can investigate or occupy a haunted place, which is of great significance to our research on ghosts and spirits."

"I think it's not very useful at the moment. Everyone knows that the Spiritual Land is home to a large number of evil spirits. Although the headquarters is already very strong and the best in the world, it is still far from being a match for the Spiritual Land."

"It doesn't matter if it's not possible now, but it won't be possible in the future. You know..."

Cao Yanhua did not join the discussion. He came to Mr. Qin and asked, "Mr. Qin, what do you think of Professor Wang's technology?"

"I don't know!" Old Qin shook his head and said, "This may be a good thing, but it may also turn into a bad thing."

At this time, Wang Xiaoming happened to be on the top of the stairs. Hearing Mr. Qin talking, he asked, "What is Mr. Qin worried about?"

Old Qin turned his head to look at Wang Xiaoming and said calmly: "It is difficult for evil spirits in the spiritual land to appear in the real world because of the barrier between the two worlds, and your technology can open this barrier."

Wang Xiaoming said thoughtfully: "Is Mr. Qin worried about losing control?"

Old Qin nodded, looked at the ghost taxi on the playground and said, "You can give other ghosts the ability to travel through the ghost land, but this is not the ghost's original ability after all. No one can predict whether it will get out of control over time. After all, we still don't know enough about ghosts."

“That makes sense, and these are indeed questions that need to be studied.”

Wang Xiaoming understood what Old Qin meant. The other party was worried that the evil ghost would be uncontrollable. If an evil ghost that had the ability to travel through supernatural places got out of control, it would be more difficult to deal with than an S-level evil ghost.

Just imagine how terrifying it would be if the ghost bus lost control and frantically transported evil spirits to the real world. Moreover, this kind of evil ghost is very difficult to imprison because it can travel freely between the two worlds. Ghost riders who do not have the ability to travel between spiritual places are not even qualified to take action.

The things that Mr. Qin is worried about may or may not happen, but this cannot shake Wang Xiaoming's determination to use this technology, because compared with these things that have not happened yet, he believes that exploring the spiritual place is more important.

at this time,

In the playground, Zhou Tong had already gotten into the mysterious taxi. He looked at his watch and saw that there were still more than ten seconds left before the agreed time.

As the second hand ticked away, Zhou Tong's palms began to sweat. He swallowed and started the car at the last moment of the countdown.

hum!
The car shuddered and the engine started. At the same time, Zhou Tong felt as if he had become one with the haunted taxi. His vision was completely unobstructed by the car body, as if a 360-degree panoramic image had been turned on.

Zhou Tong was not surprised at this. It might be because he had mastered some of the taxi's supernatural powers, so this situation would occur whenever he drove a taxi.

This is why many experiments on the haunted taxi require his presence, because the taxi plus him is the truly complete haunted taxi.

Recalling Wang Xiaoming's instructions in his mind, Zhou Tong turned on the high beam. The moment the headlights came on, an illusion different from the real world really appeared in front of him.

The real world is sunny and bright, while the phantom world is dark and scary.

Zhou Tong shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator in one go, and under his control, the ghost taxi drove towards the phantom.

In the stands, Wang Xiaoming had already taken off his glasses, freed his eyes of mystery, and opened his spiritual vision to observe the test.

At the moment when the high beam was turned on, he saw wrinkles appear in the space in front of the taxi, and a world without any light appeared in front of him.

The world was dead and lifeless. Wang Xiaoming did not see any spiritual light, only darkness, as if the world was dead.

Then the next moment the world disappeared, and along with it the shabby taxi.

There was a sudden murmur of discussion in the stands.

"Professor, has Zhou Tong traveled to a mysterious place?" Cao Yanhua asked doubtfully.

In the eyes of ordinary people like them, they could not see the specific situation of the supernatural taxi traveling through the supernatural place. They only saw the taxi disappear in an instant.

Wang Xiaoming smiled and nodded, "Yes, Zhou Tong has successfully traveled to the spiritual land."

On the other side, when Old Qin saw the mysterious taxi disappear, he looked a little surprised. He looked at Wang Xiaoming deeply without saying anything.

In the dark and mysterious place,

Two beams of orange light pierced through the darkness, and with the humming sound of the engine, a shabby taxi appeared here. This seemed to be a plain, the ground was flat without any debris, and there were no plants to be seen. The whole world was like this as far as the eye could see.

"How desolate! Is this a haunted place?"

In the taxi, Zhou Tong looked around and immediately changed the lights to low beam, preparing to leave the haunted place.

He remembered what Wang Xiaoming had reminded him just now, that the haunted place was not a good place.

As the light changed, the space in front of him became transparent, and Zhou Tong saw the illusion of the real world, which was full of vitality and bright sunshine, in stark contrast to here.

Everything went smoothly, Zhou Tong turned the steering wheel and returned to the real world.

In Wang Xiaoming's eyes, the folds in space appeared again, just like before, but the difference was that this time it was the supernatural taxi that traveled into the real world.

As the taxi appeared out of nowhere on the playground, the discussion of the crowd was heard again in the stands.

Wang Xiaoming didn't say anything, he just walked down the stairs to the stands and walked towards Zhou Tong who had just got off the car.

On the stands, Cao Yanhua saw this and took the initiative to say, "Let's go down too!"

So a group of people followed Cao Yanhua and came to the playground in a large number.

When they came closer, they heard Wang Xiaoming asking Zhou Tong about the situation in the supernatural place.

Zhou Tong replied seriously: "The light there is dim, like a night when the moon is covered by dark clouds. The terrain is a plain, and there is nothing in sight."

After that, Wang Xiaoming asked a few more questions about the shuttle process. After having a general understanding of the entire shuttle process, he decided:

"I will test it myself next. No matter how many times I see it, it is better to experience it myself."

Zhao Jianguo and Cao Yanhua were very worried when these words were spoken, but they no longer had any reason to persuade them.

This test has proven that the ghost taxi can safely travel through ghost places.

But they still had a trick up their sleeve. Cao Yanhua said to Old Qin, "Unlike the Ghost Bus's ability to travel through the spiritual realm, wouldn't Old Qin want to give it a try?"

Old Qin nodded in agreement without hesitation. He was indeed very interested in Wang Xiaoming's research this time.

Cao Yanhua heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Mr. Qin agreed. They had asked Mr. Qin to come for this moment. If they had Mr. Qin go along, Professor Wang's safety would be better guaranteed.

Just when Wang Xiaoming and Qin Lao were preparing to set off, something unexpected happened. Zhou Tong actually took the initiative to volunteer to be the driver.

"Professor, you just want to experience the changes of traveling through the spiritual land yourself. You don't need to drive yourself. Let me drive for you, and you can experience the process better."

Ok? !

Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhou Tong with some surprise.

"The professor has been very nice to me these days, and I am just doing what I can," Zhou Tong explained.

Before Wang Xiaoming could speak, Cao Yanhua said:

"Professor Wang, let Zhou Tong drive for you. After all, he has experience once before."

Wang Xiaoming couldn't refuse the kind invitation, so he didn't say much. The three of them got into the haunted taxi together. In order to have a better observation, he sat in the front passenger seat.

With the roar of the engine, the ghost taxi started moving.

When Zhou Tong pressed the light button, Wang Xiaoming saw the folds in space again, but because the distance was closer this time, he saw more details.

Then, under Zhou Tong's control, the ghost taxi passed through the folds of space and came to another world - a ghost land.

Dark, desolate and plain, the environment here is just as Zhou Tong described.

wrong!

Wang Xiaoming turned his head and looked toward the car window, and he saw a mountain.

Because of the blessing of the Eye of Prying into Secrets and the Clairvoyant Vision, his eyesight far exceeds the limits of human beings. Even in the pitch-dark night, he can see scenes dozens of meters away.

So in the mysterious place, he saw scenes that Zhou Tong had never seen.

"you saw it?"

There was surprise in Mr. Qin's voice. He was sitting in the back row and was the first to notice something was wrong with Wang Xiaoming.

"Yes, it's a mountain." Wang Xiaoming replied.

He thought it was normal that Old Qin could see the mountains in the distance. After all, he was a ghost rider who had lived for hundreds of years and was also the driver of a ghost bus.

"Mountain?" Zhou Tong asked in surprise, "What mountain?"

Wang Xiaoming pointed in the direction of the mountain and said, "Drive in this direction, the mountain is just ahead."

Just as Zhou Tong was about to turn, Old Qin stopped him and said, "I advise you not to go there. It's very dangerous there."

Zhou Tong immediately stopped turning and looked at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming turned his head curiously and looked at Old Qin: "Danger? Old Qin knows where that place is?"

"Yes," Old Qin continued, "This is the spiritual place corresponding to the headquarters. I have investigated it before. It is a ghost mountain that suppresses countless evil spirits. If you get close to it, the evil spirits in the ghost mountain will revive."

"Suppress evil spirits?" Wang Xiaoming thought, "A place dedicated to suppressing evil spirits. Could this Ghost Mountain be built by a powerful ghost rider?"

Wang Xiaoming has read all the records about supernatural places at the headquarters. Among them, there is a supernatural place that is specially used to imprison evil spirits. Later, because the imprisonment measures failed, the evil spirits escaped and the supernatural places also appeared in the world. Underground passages and supernatural volcanoes are of this type.

The headquarters has found signs of human activities in these mysterious places, proving that these places were built by humans.

"He is indeed a very powerful ghost rider." Old Qin said solemnly, "Do you know where the Ghost Mountain corresponds to in the world?"

"where?"

"Warehouse No. 1!"
