Two hours ago, Lin Suwan and the others received an emergency mission notification. Celestial Master Bureau received a call from the public claiming that they were trapped in an old theater and could not leave.
Lin Suwan asked as he got in the car, "Alone?"
The other party. "Sixteen people."
Xue Yu frowned. "Why are there so many people?"
The other party paused for a moment. "... I heard that some kind of courage test meeting is being held."
Senior sisters and brothers have nothing to say.
The vehicle arrives at its destination.
As soon as I got off the car, a chilly and biting breath hit my face.
The old theater in front of me has been completely enveloped and devoured by gloomy energy, and even the surrounding air seems stagnant and distorted.
Lin Suwan slammed the car door and put on the special tactical gloves painted with runes neatly. "This yin energy is so thick that it will condense into evil."
Xue Yu quickly counted the talisman paper, special ink and brush he carried with him, and said in a calm tone, "It's not done yet, it means that you are still fine, please act quickly."
The commissioner responsible for picking them up solemnly saluted the two of them. "You two, pay attention to safety and come back safely!"
Lin Suwan waved his hand, Xue Yu nodded slightly, and the two of them stepped into the uncomfortable Yin Qi range without hesitation.
As soon as I entered, all kinds of shrill screams, cries, and running footsteps came in like a tide, almost breaking my eardrums.
The sixteen young people who participated in the courage test conference had obviously completely collapsed under the torture of the illusion, and were scurrying like headless flies in the dark auditorium and corridors covered with cobwebs and dilapidated seats.
"Help - there's a ghost!"
"Don't chase me! Wuwuwu..."
"That's fake! Is it all fake...? Ahhh, it touched my hair!"
Lin Suwan soon found a girl huddled in the corner of the stage, holding her head and shivering. She strode over and said in a righteous voice, "Hello, I'm from the Investigation Bureau, I'm here to rescue you..."
The girl suddenly raised her head, and the flashlight's light hit Lin Suwan's face from bottom to top. She was still wearing a white Celestial Master uniform. In the eyes of the girl, this scene was no different from seeing a ghost.
"Ghost--! Don't come here!" The girl let out a scream with a higher decibel, rolled and crawled to the ground, and disappeared behind the curtain at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Lin Suwan:"...?"
Xue Yu Here, he tried to stop two girls who were rushing forward like headless flies.
"It's okay, I..." Before he could finish his words, a waving hand came over, and Xue Yu subconsciously turned his head to avoid it.
Another girl followed closely with her arms waving randomly, and then there was a "pop".
Xue Yu was hit to the side of his head, and a faint red mark instantly appeared on his face.
His whole body froze, and there was a rare trace of sluggishness and confusion on his face.
Two girls screamed and ran away. One of them suddenly pulled his companion to a quick stop.
"Wait a minute, the person I just hit seems to be a human being, a living person."
"Is it like a heavenly master coming to save us?"
The two of them turned around and looked back tremblingly, and Xue Yu happened to catch up.
After confirming that it was a living person or a heavenly master, the two girls immediately hugged each other and started crying.
Xue Yu introduced himself while giving them the amulet, "Hello sisters, I am Xue Yu, the one sent by the Investigation Bureau to rescue you. Can you follow me?"
"Thank you, thank you. I'm sorry just now!! I didn't mean it!"
"... It's okay, let's go. Do you know where the others are?"
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, we don't know, there are ghosts everywhere, we just dare to run forward."
"Yeah, it's okay."
He has the best temper.
The two of them searched and picked up along the way. It took more than an hour to finally find everyone. Then they faced a new problem - how to get out.
In fact, the two of them had discovered a long time ago that from the moment they stepped into this place, they entered a man-made illusory formation. They could only move around inside the theater and could not get out at all. They originally wanted to find everyone and take them out together, but the ghost inside suddenly became restless and rushed towards everyone.
They also know to avoid Lin Suwan.
The screams of the male and female mix came one after another, and the noisy Lin Suwan even took the time to pat his ears.
Xue Yu immediately threw out a few talismans to form a formation. As he shouted low, a shiny barrier instantly rose, completely covering up everyone's presence.
The ghosts rushing around suddenly lost their target and were spinning in place like headless flies.
Lin Suwan took the opportunity to breathe, and said solemnly while adjusting his gloves, "These ghosts are all under control."
Xue Yu nodded, looked at the senior sister, and asked the most important question at the moment, "What should we do now? Can we break the formation and leave them here?"
Lin Suwan didn't need to answer. The dozen or so people tightly packed inside the formation mask were already shaking their heads wildly, with tears streaming down their faces.
"No, no, no, no, no!!"
"Don't leave us here! No!"
"Little Heavenly Master, you can't leave! If you leave, we will be dead!"
Lin Suwan did not speak, but turned his gaze to Xue Yu. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: Do you think this situation is okay?
Xue Yu was helpless and walked to Lin Suwan and proposed another plan. "Then I will break the formation?"
Lin Suwan: "How sure are you of breaking the formation?"
Xue Yu was silent for a moment and answered truthfully, "Thirty percent."
Lin Suwan Hearing this, he almost squeezed out three words from between his teeth. "Give me your head?"
Xue Yu was choked and speechless.
He silently squatted down and looked ahead, with a hint of helplessness and resignation on his face. "... What should I do? You and the paper man can't break the formation."
Lin Suwan didn't answer. Xue Yu looked over and found that she was playing with her mobile phone.
"Sister?"
"I'm shaking people."
Before Xue Yu asked him who he was shaking, Lin Suwan had already said that famous saying--
"Teacher, Cai Cai, Lao Lao."
Xue Yu's eyes widened. "!?"
Hearing that Qu Nanzhu was coming, more than a dozen people across the street wiped their noses and wiped their tears, and asked, "Is it God Qu? Will he come to save us?"
Lin Suwan sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. "Well, the teacher has already set off."
"God Qu is coming. Can you see if my hair is a mess now?"
Xue Yu:"?"
"Me, me, my makeup seems to be messed up... Did anyone bring a mirror?"
Lin Suwan:"..."
"Ah ah ah ah why the light is off? Someone please turn on the phone quickly!"
"The battery is out! The battery is out! The phone is out of battery!"
Lin Suwan twitched the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth and asked them, "Isn't this a courage test meeting? Why didn't you bring a flashlight?"
A boy said, "Why do you bring a flashlight in broad daylight?"
Lin Suwan's forehead jumped a little. "So why do you have to come to the courage test meeting at noon!?"
Several people said in unison, "Because we are afraid of ghosts!"
6.
Cow.
Admired.
Falling to the ground.
Xue Yu squatted aside covering his ears, not wanting to face reality.
Outside the theater, the commissioner waiting outside saw a vehicle approaching and immediately got out of the car to persuade the person to leave. However, he changed the subject after seeing the person clearly.
"Master Qu!"
Qu Nanzhu nodded casually, but his eyes were already fixed on the black exterior wall of the theater.
"How long have they been in there?"
"Two hours and twelve minutes."
Hearing this, Qu Nanzhu picked up her long hair and neatly tied it into a low ponytail with a small black rubber band around her wrist, revealing her chiseled side face, and then walked straight towards the entrance of the theater.
The dark wind rolled up the broken hair and clothes on his forehead. Behind him was the bright afternoon sun, but in front of him was the surging gloomy energy.
