Chapter 70 Lei Hao's Abilities
"I can tell you're not feeling well. Are you sure you want to come with us?" Sun Rui asked.
"This is the city I'm in charge of. Since a paranormal event has occurred, I'm naturally the first to step up," Lei Hao said.
"Okay, but there's a condition: once inside, you must follow my orders and not act on your own. If you encounter a danger that you can't handle, I will step in," Sun Rui said.
He didn't want to bring in incompetent teammates who might cause trouble; if that happened, he definitely wouldn't intervene.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you," Lin Zhensheng said.
"Me too."
"no problem."
Liu Qi and Lei Hao also expressed their opinions, since Sun Rui was the person with the most experience in handling paranormal events here.
"Okay, Lin Zhensheng, you lead the way. This isn't the real Fu'an Apartment, is it?" Sun Rui said.
"You're right. Fu'an Apartment is just the surface. Only by entering the real haunted place can you encounter vengeful ghosts," Lin Zhensheng said.
The three followed Lin Zhensheng upstairs.
Along the way, Lin Zhensheng explained some information about Fu'an Apartment.
The first step is how to actually enter the haunted place behind the apartment.
Two conditions need to be met.
First, go from the first floor to the fourth floor, then from the fourth floor to the third floor, then back to the fourth floor, and then back to the second floor, and so on.
Second, after you walk from the fourth floor to the first floor, walk back to the fourth floor, and then walk to the fifth floor. Do not look back during this process. You can enter the real Fu'an Apartment with your eyes closed.
As for how Lin Zhensheng discovered it, it was quite a coincidence.
On their first night here, they heard footsteps, and then followed them, unknowingly completing something akin to a ritual.
However, they did not successfully enter the haunted place because they turned back with their eyes open while going from the fourth floor to the fifth floor.
That night, they were attacked by a supernatural force, but Sun Yan used his supernatural powers to stop it.
Then the ghost disappeared. They spent some time studying and imitating everything that had happened that night, and eventually discovered how to enter the haunted place.
At first, Lin Zhensheng refused to enter the supernatural place where there was no information.
But after Sun Yan's persuasion, Lin Zhensheng finally decided to go in with him.
Because he is very close to the time when the evil spirit will resurrect.
Since he knew he was going to die anyway, he decided to take a gamble.
However, the two got separated as soon as they entered.
Moreover, there is no apartment behind Fu'an Apartment.
It is an old courtyard house.
The place wasn't big, but Lin Zhensheng still couldn't find the other person.
But he was certain that Sun Yan was in that courtyard house because he saw the marks Sun Yan had left behind.
"So, you didn't see Sun Yan at all during the entire time you were in the courtyard," Sun Rui said.
Lin Zhensheng nodded and said, "That's right, but I can be sure that the mark is definitely his, because that thing contains his supernatural power."
"They are in different supernatural spaces, but can transmit information through supernatural powers..." Sun Rui pondered.
"What do we do now? If the four of us go in at the same time, we'll likely all be separated," Liu Qi said.
"That is indeed a problem, Lin Zhensheng, tell us how you got out?" Sun Rui said.
"I don't know either... I only remember using the power of the 'Frightening Ghost' once, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was in the Fu'an Apartment," Lin Zhensheng said.
"You used your power because you encountered a vengeful ghost? Do you know how vengeful ghosts kill people?" Sun Rui asked.
"No, I didn't even see the ghost, but I felt like I was about to be attacked, so I subconsciously used my supernatural powers," Lin Zhensheng said.
Sun Rui pondered: Could Lin Zhensheng sense that he was about to be attacked by a supernatural force because the vengeful spirit he was controlling was special?
However, there is no definitive answer, since no one can truly explain paranormal events.
There's simply no way to get out of this situation.
If the four of them recklessly rush in, someone will surely die inside.
"Liu Qi, what's your opinion?" Sun Rui said.
"I don't know much either. I stumbled into this place by accident. Before this, I didn't even know how I got in," Liu Qi said. "And I woke up directly in a room, and after pushing open the door, I was on the street."
"We can give it a try, but there's a problem we need to solve first." Sun Rui stroked his chin. "The four of us can't split up; we have to act together. Otherwise, this operation will have to be put on hold for now."
The group fell into deep thought. Sun Rui was right. If the four of them separated as soon as they entered, Lei Hao and Lin Zhensheng, who were only controlling one ghost, would have a very high probability of dying.
"If it really doesn't work, let them both stay outside, and we'll go in," Liu Qi said.
Sun Rui shook his head, disagreeing with Liu Qi's method.
"I do have a way to keep us from being separated," Lei Hao said after a long silence.
"Oh? Tell me about it," Sun Rui asked curiously.
"You all probably know my code name: Ghost Silhouette. As the name suggests, I can cut silhouettes and even sew the shadows of different people together."
"I once tried to cut out my own shadow and wrap it around an ordinary person who had triggered the vengeful ghost's killing pattern, and then briefly brought that person to life."
"Even after my supernatural powers failed, he was still killed by the vengeful ghost."
"At the same time, I also tried other methods, such as wrapping myself in the shadow of an ordinary person who was being targeted by a vengeful ghost, but then I would also be targeted by the vengeful ghost myself."
Lei Hao explained his supernatural powers.
"You mean you want to use the shadows of the four of us to envelop us as we enter this haunted place, so that the haunted place will mistake us for one person and we won't be separated?" Sun Rui quickly realized Lei Hao's meaning.
Lei Hao nodded.
"It's feasible to try. Those who don't want to go in can stay outside, including Lei Hao. You only need to use your supernatural power once," Sun Rui said.
Despite his words, none of the three backed down and all indicated that they would go in together.
"Since that's the decision, let's try to enter using the method Lin Zhensheng suggested. Lei Hao, remember to use your power to connect our four shadows together and envelop us," Sun Rui said.
The four of them acted quickly, trying to enter the haunted place according to Lin Zhensheng's method.
They quickly completed the preliminary steps and arrived at the staircase leading from the fourth floor to the fifth floor.
The staircase was now shrouded in darkness and no longer led to the fifth floor of the apartment building as it had originally intended.
"Lei Hao, make your move," Sun Rui said.
Lei Hao nodded, and then Sun Rui noticed that his shadow began to move.
The shadow slowly transformed into a pair of jet-black scissors.
The scissors swam past the three people one by one, cutting off their shadows and then connecting them together.
A curtain made up of the shadows of four people appeared.
"Let's begin!" Lei Hao said.
The black curtain enveloped the four of them, but it did not hinder their movements.
The four closed their eyes and began walking towards the fifth floor.
