Chapter 153 Escape
Chapter 153 Escape
Lu Guo immediately turned around and swam towards the shore.

but……

Although his hands and feet were constantly moving and his body was moving forward, he could not swim to the shore which was so close!

How can this be?

But...the river bank is right in front of us!

A group of terrifying strange auras quickly surrounded Lu Guo. He struggled and swam desperately, but to no avail.

The wind was getting stronger and the river was getting colder...

Is this fog or reality?

Could it be that I have never come out and have been on Wu Ji’s mission all the time?

The strange events that happened in reality caused serious confusion in Lu Guo's brain.

This is a very fatal thing because it often affects a person's normal judgment.

But the weirdness before his eyes... was beyond Lu Guo’s imagination!
This doesn't feel like being in the real world at all. Even in the fog, such a thing is terrifying.

Lu Guo's mind was in a mess.

He turned his head to take a look, and saw...the scary water ghost in a white dress in the middle of the river, slowly turning his head and looking at him.

This is a female ghost. Judging from her facial features, she is quite pretty, but... her facial features are all inverted.

This created a strong sense of weirdness.

When Lu Guo was looked at like this, he suddenly felt his hands and feet go weak.

No...fear was taking over his body.

Lu Guo had seen this kind of thing many times in Wu Ji. Many newcomers who entered Wu Ji for the first time died in this way.

Under intense fear, it is difficult for humans to control their actions.

Lu Guo never thought...that there would be such a day for him.

But, he managed to survive in the fog for a while, and he did not give up!
But...is there any way to survive?
I kept swimming towards the river bank, which was clearly very close, yet out of reach.

This feeling is extremely desperate.

Where is the way out?
Lu Guo forced himself to clear his confused mind.

First of all... this is the real world, not the fog set...

How could there be ghosts in the real world? Although Lu Guo wanted to avoid this question, this thought came up in his mind.

He couldn't find the answer and quickly thought about the next question.

In the fog, there was a solution and rules, but now it is the real world, there is no solution, no rules...

Even...the abilities of evil spirits may have no limits.

Damn!

Why is this ghost targeting me?
Lu Guo couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

Lu Guo forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and turned his head to look again.

The scary female ghost was still staring at him in the middle of the river. Its sharp mouth full of fangs was split open, as if it was laughing.

But it didn't move!

Why isn't it moving?
No... ghosts in the real world don't have omnipotent abilities...

There must be some kind of limitation!

For example, now, it makes the river bank untouchable, but it does not get close to itself!

No…it’s not that it’s not getting close, it’s that it can’t get close!
Lu Guo suddenly stopped struggling, and immediately, he felt a strong sense of weakness in his hands and feet.

This feeling left Lu Guo with a lingering fear. Fortunately, he reacted quickly...

He finally understood.

This ghost can make this river infinitely wide!
It's not visual infinity, but conceptual infinity, which means... he can't swim to the shore no matter what.

But at the same time, the ghost in the middle of the river was unable to move. What it was doing was to scare itself, causing it to quickly drain its energy!
When his physical strength reaches its limit and his hands and feet can no longer move, it will release this strange ability, then easily grab him and drag itself... into the deepest part of the river.

Lu Guo shuddered in the water.

When he stopped moving and no longer struggled and swam frantically, the ghost girl's expression seemed to become even more ferocious.

Sharp teeth were revealed in the cracked mouth on its forehead, as if it was going to devour Lu Guo in the next second.

But Lu Guo already had an idea in his mind. He suppressed his fear and stared at it. As long as it moved, he would immediately swim to the shore. If it didn't move, he would definitely not waste any energy!

Lu Guo always believed that the abilities of ghosts also have limits!

Some ghosts can teleport, but the distance is only a few meters, while some evil ghosts can teleport directly to any place within sight.

Judging from the means used by the ghost just now, Lu Guo can be sure that it is definitely not a ghost that is so ferocious that it is difficult to resist. Its strange ability will soon reach its limit!
The water seemed to be getting colder and colder, and Lu Guo felt that he might be catching a cold.

All kinds of negative thoughts were running wildly through his mind: What if I guessed wrong? What if I could reach the shore just two meters further? What if it suddenly pounced on me?
All kinds of complicated thoughts shook my determination to land.

Fortunately... he always held on to the last bottom line.

That is, if the ghost doesn’t move, he won’t move either!

A man and a ghost confronted each other in the river, and it seemed that they could see what Lu Guo was thinking.

The ghost's eyes revealed a strong sense of resentment and unwillingness.

Then, the river water slowly submerged its chin, and at the same time, Lu Guo suddenly felt the temperature of the wind.

Besides... the river water is not so cold anymore, and the sounds of cars and horns in the city also penetrate into my ears.

The weirdness is resolved!
Lu Guo immediately turned around and swam wildly!

This time, he grabbed the shore with one hand!
When Lu Guo climbed up the shore, soaking wet, he just saw a circle of ripples in the center of the river, as if something had just been submerged.

Lu Guo didn't have time to rest and left quickly.

It was not until he blended into the crowd that Lu Guo finally felt relieved.

He didn't mind the strange looks from the passers-by at all. At this moment, Lu Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

He escaped alive...

Lu Guo couldn't imagine what the result would be now if his mind was really disturbed by fear and his physical strength wasted.

What made him even more unimaginable was that this horrific and bizarre thing actually happened in reality...

This made Lu Guo shudder. Is it true that even the real world is no longer safe?

What will this world become?
Lu Guo raised his head blankly and looked at the sky.

The spring sun was hanging high in the clouds, but the sunlight it cast did not allow Lu Guo to feel any warmth at all...

……

Industry city.

Bai Yanliang and Feng Xiuxue sat opposite each other.

Feng Xiuxue looked him up and down, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that you are working for the criminal police now."

Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "What's wrong with eliminating violence and upholding justice?"

Feng Xiuxue took off her sunglasses, propped up her chin, and tilted her head to look at him: "Okay, there's nothing wrong with it, but I didn't expect that they would still believe you after you committed such a serious crime."

Bai Yanliang picked up the boiled water that he had specially asked the waiter for and took a sip: "I didn't expect that either."
