Chapter 27 - Ghost Hitting the Wall

Chapter 27 Ghost Hitting the Wall

“Where are you? Brother Gang, why are you acting like Xiaoxiao?”

Hearing Zheng Dagang’s shout, Su Xiaofan found it funny.

Su Xiaofan had been riding a bicycle to and from this town and village since he was 12 or 13 years old. He had been in junior high school for three years, and he had walked through the unmarked common graves, but he had never seen any evil spirits. Zheng Dagang, on the other hand, had encountered them on his first trip?

“Right… Right side, look!”

Zheng Dagang pointed to the window on his right, “Look, aren’t there two shadows moving?”

“F*ck, it’s true?”

Su Xiaofan slowed down the car and looked at where Zheng Dagang was pointing. He couldn’t help but curse and stomp on the brake.

As Zheng Dagang said, there were indeed two looming shadows in the place where the fog was, but they were a little far away and couldn’t be seen clearly.

“Brother, why did you stop the car?”

Su Xiaoxiao was shocked by her brother’s action. She was already tense and couldn’t help but shout.

“To see a ghost, of course.”

Su Xiaofan couldn’t see clearly through the window, so he rolled down the window on Zheng Dagang’s side, and a cool breeze blew into the car.

“Xiaofan, Dang… Your brother is begging you, let’s go.”

As the cold wind blew, Zheng Dagang couldn’t help but shiver.

Zheng Dagang had been selling magical artifacts for so many years, and he had never believed it himself. But when the time came, he was timid. Speaking of which, who hadn’t heard a few ghost stories living on the edge of Xiao mountain?

“Brother Gang, how can we let go of such a good opportunity?”

Su Xiaofan shook his head and unbuckled his seat belt. He turned on the headlights and looked back at Su Xiaoxiao. “What’s up? Do you want to go down and take a look with me?”

“I … I’ll follow behind you. Brother, don’t scare me on purpose…” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said.

“Xiaoxiao, you’re playing along with him.”

What surprised Zheng Dagang, who was sitting in the front row, was that Su Xiaoxiao actually agreed. Her face even had an eager look.

In fact, what Zheng Dagang didn’t know was that the brother and sister had seen a lot of things like will-o-wisps when they walked on this road in the past. Su Xiaoxiao was shocked when she saw it just now, but she had recovered now.

“Brother Gang, I’m really fine. I’m even using the bones of the dead as a light bulb. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Su Xiaofan laughed heartily. He wasn’t afraid, and he had confidence.

Su Xiaofan had a mid-tier magic artifact with him, and there were several talismans in the car. Although they were all low-level incomplete talismans, Su Xiaofan thought that they couldn’t be useless. He got out of the car to see how different those so-called magic artifacts were from the fake ones sold by Zheng Dagang.

“Oh right, Xiaoxiao, take the bell.” Su Xiaofan felt that he should look down on the enemy strategically, but pay more attention to tactics. “Hey, Xiaofan, wait for me, I… I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Zheng Dagang gritted his teeth and got out of the car. He was an elder brother after all, and he couldn’t be looked down upon by Su Xiaofan and his sister.

Su Xiaofan’s car was parked more than 30 meters away from the mist. Although the car’s headlights weren’t direct, he could still vaguely see what was going on in the mist.

“Why do I feel so cold?”

As soon as he got out of the car, Zheng Dagang felt a chill wrap around him. On the other hand, Su Xiaofan and his sister, who were walking in front, didn’t feel anything. “Hey, what did I say? Where did the ghost come from?”

When they were seven or eight meters away from the fog, Su Xiaofan stopped and said unhappily, “It’s just two people. Look at how scared you are.”

Su Xiaofan could see clearly that there were indeed two people in the fog. Their clothes looked familiar, but they couldn’t see their faces clearly because of the fog. Su Xiaofan thought they were villagers from nearby villages.

“That’s not right, Xiaofan. Why are they still going around in circles? They’re not coming out.” Zheng Dagang’s voice trembled a little. “Xiaoxiao, where are your talismans? Hold them for me.”

“It’s in the car. I’ll get it for you, Brother Gang.”

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the car and gave the envelope with the talisman to Zheng Dagang. He didn’t know if it was a psychological factor, but Zheng Dagang suddenly felt a warmth in his body and wasn’t so cold anymore. “Hey, what are you guys doing here?” Su Xiaofan shouted. He also realized the problem Zheng Dagang had mentioned. The two seemed to be really spinning in the fog.

“You can’t hear? This… Did you encounter a ghost?”

Su Xiaofan looked at the mist that covered about forty to fifty square meters and was a little stunned.

Su Xiaofan’s voice wasn’t soft. It could be heard from a hundred meters away, let alone seven or eight meters away, but the two people didn’t seem to hear him and didn’t react at all.

“I’ll go in and take a look. Let’s go!” Su Xiaofan said, walking over.

“Brother, let’s not get involved in this. I heard that when you encounter a ghost, it will automatically come out when the sun rises.”

Zheng Dagang grabbed Su Xiaofan. Even if the two people in the mist were humans, the scene in front of him still made him shudder. “Brother Gang, I’ve encountered something like this before, but it’s not a ghost hitting a wall. There’s a scientific explanation.” Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard that. He had lived in the countryside for so many years and often walked at night, so he had indeed encountered such a situation. That was when Su Xiaofan was in grade nine.

One night, he came home late after self-study. As he rode his bike out of town and walked to a wheat field, he met an old man wandering around the field.

The old man didn’t respond to Su Xiaofan’s call. Seeing that the old man was about to fall into the ditch, Su Xiaofan went up and pulled him. The old man finally reacted and said that he had been wandering around for more than an hour.

Su Xiaofan had searched online and found that the so-called “ghost hitting the wall” was scientifically explained as a motion illusion phenomenon. It meant that when walking at night or in the suburbs, one would not be able to tell the direction and have a vague sense of self-perception, so they would always walk in circles.

In fact, this was a kind of hazy state of human consciousness. When one closed their eyes, at night, or in the suburbs, the length of the two feet would unconsciously differ slightly, and then people would fall into a circle with a radius of about 5 kilometers.

At this time, the person must have lost his sense of direction. To put it more bluntly, he was lost.

When a person’s eyes and brain’s correction function no longer existed, or the correction signal given to people was fake and chaotic, you might feel that you were walking in a straight line, but in fact, you were walking in accordance with your instincts. You would inevitably walk in a circle.

Cracking the ghostly labyrinth was actually very simple. As long as one encountered a strong light, or if they focused their attention and corrected their sense of direction, most people could escape.

However, the most terrifying thing was to scare oneself, thinking that they had encountered a ghost, and the more panicked they were, the more they couldn’t come out. “Watch me!” Su Xiaofan laughed and walked over, reaching out to grab one of the men’s arms.

However, Su Xiaofan did not notice that when he walked over, the fog surrounding the two seemed to dissipate a lot, as if it had opened up a path for Su Xiaofan to enter. “Xiaoxiao, did you see that? The mist seems to be avoiding Xiaofan.”

Zheng Dagang, who was standing outside, saw this scene. His eyes were wide open. He could see it clearly from outside. “Maybe brother brought the wind when he walked over and blew away the fog.’ Su Xiaoxiao also saw it and said with uncertainty.

“Ring that bell of yours.’ looked at the bell in Su Zheng Dagang Xiaoxiao’s hand. Su Xiaofan had spent 1.2 million on it. Zheng Dagang felt that it was more reliable than his 30 – 50 magic ‘artifacts’.

Ding dang, ding ding dang, ding ding ding dang …

Hearing Zheng Dagang’s words, Su Xiaoxiao shook the bell in her hand, and a crisp sound suddenly came out.

As the bell rang, a layer of invisible ripples spread in the air and instantly touched the mist.

“Sigh, it’s really useful.”

Just as the bell rang, Zheng Dagang and Su Xiaoxiao saw that the fog covering 40 to 50 square meters suddenly converged toward the middle of the three people, like snow melting, disappearing in just a few seconds.

“I say, this big brother, sigh… Why are you here?”

At this moment, Su Xiaofan also pulled a person in the mist. He was stunned as soon as he greeted him because he knew this person. Wasn’t it Wu Chuanbao, who he had met in the afternoon?

“It’s you?”

When the mist dissipated, Wu Chuanbao, who had been walking in circles with Wu Chuanpeng, woke up and saw Su Xiaofan in front of him.

“I say, big brother, why did you come here again?”

Su Xiaofan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the two people in front of him.

He didn’t know what fate he had with them, but why did they meet so often? it was as if they met each other everywhere they went. However, compared to the first time they met, Wu Chuanbao seemed to have aged a lot. Not only was he dispirited, but his eye circles were also dark. He looked like he had aged more than ten years.

Wu Chuanpeng, who was with Wu Chuanbao, was in a similar state. His eyes were listless, as if he had not slept for a few days. He had not come back to his senses and looked very dull. “This… This place is evil, first… We’ll talk after we leave.”

Wu Chuanbao looked around in horror. He grabbed Su Xiaofan tightly with one hand as if he was holding on to a life-saving straw. “I’m fine now. You can go.”

Su Xiaofan glanced at Wu Chuanbao. He had tricked this guy once before, but he had also been electrocuted by him. Now that they were even, Su Xiaofan didn’t want to have anything with him anymore.

to do “Don’t, brother, don’t leave us here.”

Wu Chuanbao almost cried when he heard Su Xiaofan’s words. He quickly took out a stack of cash and said, “Take us to the town, we’ll pay for the ride, pay!”

It wasn’t far from the town, and it was a ten-minute drive, so it wasn’t a problem to take the two of them. Su Xiaofan thought about it and agreed, saying, “Forget about the money, just don’t cause me any trouble in the future.”

“Thank you, thank you, brother. I was wrong before.”

Wu Chuanbao thanked him profusely and pulled Wu Chuanpeng along as he ran towards the car, as if the lights there could give him a greater sense of security.

“Brother, that mist just now was a little strange.

Su Xiaoxiao slowed down a few steps and pointed at Wu Chuanpeng, whispering to Su Xiaofan, “When I rang the bell just now, the mist gathered together and seemed to have drilled into that person’s body.”

“The bell is useful?” Su Xiaofan was taken aback. He had been in the mist and had not seen the changes.

“It’s useful!”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head hard. She felt that the two of them were running around in circles. It wasn’t an illusion like her brother had said, but because of the fog.
