The vehicle plunged into darkness, and the driver floored the accelerator, speeding forward madly.
However, the situation did not improve at all, and the white paper lanterns behind them were getting closer and closer.
The gloomy green haze began to slowly rise into the air, forming a strange cloud.
Although they appeared to be some distance apart, Jiang Qiao still felt a terrifying sense of oppression, and his heart was trembled with fear.
At that moment, he understood for the first time the power contained in the word "god"!
"This force is somewhat difficult to understand."
"It doesn't look particularly vast, but it gives people a feeling of unfathomable depth."
"It's far more advanced than any ghosts, humans, or even supernatural tales I've encountered before. It's like the difference between an egg and a stone."
"Could this be the power of the gods?"
Jiang Qiao's expression was rather unpleasant.
Damn it, all I want is to get back to the real world, why are there so many annoying things happening along the way?
Despite having planned the route, I encountered a county town in the swamp and was inexplicably teleported to Yi City.
I followed a bunch of newbies to do tasks, and finally made it through seven days, and even planned a new route.
As a result, they encountered another paranormal event on the way.
Now, the next stop is Beiquan, but we've run into the City God again!
Even the native inhabitants have rarely seen this thing. In fact, most people don't even think that Yan City exists!
"It must be something that female ghost did after entering the city."
"Otherwise, why would there be no problem earlier or later, but it happened right after I arrived?"
"I'm not some unlucky person!"
He recalled the female ghost in the back seat of the car; she had only glanced at him before her double pupils automatically closed. Not only that, but she had almost stripped him of his abilities as well.
This method is almost divine!
If it weren't for the other female ghost clinging to his back, he might have actually confessed on the spot!
"Driver, have you encountered this situation before?"
"I've heard people say that someone came to Yancheng to deliver a letter, but most people say that the city never existed."
What exactly is going on in this city?
Jiang Qiao felt a little anxious and couldn't help but ask.
"Passengers, these questions are meaningless."
"Under normal circumstances, buses don't come to Yancheng, because there are living gods here."
"So every time it comes here, there must be a mystery passenger."
"It doesn't matter whether I've encountered this situation before; what matters is whether we can survive now."
The driver said in a gloomy tone.
His foot was firmly planted on the accelerator, without the slightest slackening.
The bus roared with its engine, whipping up gusts of cold, gusty wind. Every now and then, paper money, incense ash, and gold ingots would fly past the windows, occasionally hitting the glass with a clattering sound.
I don't know how something made of paper could have such a strong impact.
"Those paper lanterns are still getting closer."
"And that green cloud is getting bigger and bigger."
Just observing that dark green cloud made Jiang Qiao feel suffocated and his scalp tingle.
Cold, evil, ominous, eerie...
Above those clouds, something indescribably terrifying seemed to be lurking.
"Damn, Yancheng is full of skyscrapers and light shows; it looks like a modern metropolis."
"Why do you still like to engage in feudal superstitions?"
"To worship such a large City God statue shows a complete lack of scientific perspective and materialism."
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but curse under his breath.
The bus engine kept roaring, seemingly having reached some kind of limit.
But it still couldn't pierce through the darkness.
Instead, a dense array of lanterns had gradually risen above the vehicles.
The pale light did not dispel the darkness around the bus; instead, it created a strange situation similar to the darkness under the lamp.
Jiang Qiao wanted to continue looking out, but was shocked to find that he had lost his view!
⒏ьοok. Соm
All I could see was a hazy blackness and a halo of white light; there was nothing else at all.
In this scene of black and white blending, a sinister green light begins to spread from small to large.
Damn it!
Just then, the driver's shouts, filled with shock and anger, rang out from the cab.
Looking up from the river bridge.
They discovered that the strange cloud that had been following them had somehow appeared directly in front of them and was now covering the ground!
If the bus continues to move, it will soon plunge into the water!
"Passengers, prepare yourselves, we must cross over!"
The driver gritted his teeth, stared fiercely ahead, and said, word by word.
Jiang Qiao's gaze darkened, and he immediately mobilized all his talents!
He understood that the driver's choice was correct. The bus couldn't turn or stop, otherwise it would only be more dangerous than it was now!
In an instant.
His entire body was covered in dense runes, shimmering with a metallic sheen.
Invincibility activated!
Then.
A ball of lightning, composed of terrifying bolts bearing human faces, enveloped him.
Outside the lightning, talismans spread out like a peacock's tail, surrounding him.
Immediately afterwards.
A gray light and billowing smoke emerged from his body, quickly condensing outside the talisman.
At this moment, he released both kinds of demonic energy simultaneously!
In addition, there's the Life Substitution Technique, which can be triggered passively.
At this moment, he pushed his defensive capabilities to the limit!
"Controlling so much power at the same time, especially opening two kinds of ghost realms at the same time, does consume a lot of energy."
Jiang Qiao felt his body rapidly becoming fatigued.
This feeling is like an ordinary person who rarely exercises running five kilometers, and having already completed half of the distance.
"I can't keep this up for long, and I can't move around freely anymore."
Fortunately, these abilities almost all come from simulators, so the only cost is physical and mental fatigue.
Even if another awakened individual were to control both abilities simultaneously, there is still a risk of the ability going out of control!
"But it's still not enough!"
The river bridge surface was as still as water.
The terrifying pressure drew ever closer, and he felt as if his preparations were nothing more than a small boat adrift in a stormy sea.
They could be shattered to pieces at any moment.
"I hope this thing will be useful."
Finally, Jiang Qiao produced the shroud from the ancient tomb in the swamp!
The shroud was incredibly filthy and reeked of a foul stench, yet it was remarkably sturdy. Jiang Qiao tested it several times, but couldn't leave even the slightest mark on it.
This is an extremely powerful supernatural item!
Initially, Jiang Qiao also intended to wear it with him to enhance his protective capabilities.
A few days later, he found that the shroud was getting dirtier and smellier, as if a corpse was rotting.
Moreover, this stench can linger on the body for a long time and cannot be removed.
Most importantly, Jiang Qiao also discovered that the smell seemed to affect consciousness.
Even though the smell was gone from my body, I could still feel that lingering stench in my mind.
It's incredibly eerie!
Fearing the existence of some hidden curse, he eventually threw the cloth into a separate ghost-skin bag.
"Damn it, I really don't want to wear this thing."
Jiang Qiao's expression was somewhat conflicted.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and wrapped it around himself.
Meanwhile.
The bus shook violently and plunged headfirst into that terrifying green cloud!

As soon as we entered this green cloud, the bus began to shake violently.
The teeth-grinding creaking sound continued, and the buses shuttling through the crowd seemed like small wooden boats in a storm, in danger of breaking apart at any moment.
"Slap slap slap"
As soon as we entered the clouds, all the lights went out.
Meanwhile, the interior of the train carriage also changed at the same time. It transformed from a dirty and dilapidated environment into a crime scene.
Rotten, blackened arms were pieced together to form chairs.
Strands of large intestine intertwined together form a handrail for standing.
And on the car windows, which were made of human leather, rows of scarecrows dressed in gray prison uniforms were shaking wildly.
At this moment.
The bus, now made up of vengeful ghosts, has been restored to its original form!
However.
This is no longer the time to worry about that.
The moment the bus touched Green Cloud, Jiang Qiao felt a surge of insane, venomous malice sweeping over him like a tsunami!
Boom!
In just three seconds, the outermost layer of thick smoke was dispersed.
Then.
Cracks appeared in the gray ghost realm, and after holding on for ten seconds, it shattered.
The talismans that enveloped Jiang Qiao turned to ashes in less than two seconds.
Fifteen seconds!
The outer defenses of Jiangqiao have been completely breached!
Meanwhile, the ball lightning emitted a "buzzing" sound.
One after another, distorted human faces appeared and disappeared.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
...
Ten seconds later, the entire ball lightning began to shrink, clearly no match for this overwhelming malice.
However, this result was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Qiao.
"Ball lightning is actually stronger than the defense of the Double-Pupil Ghost Realm?"
"Could it be because lightning can subdue evil spirits?"
Jiang Qiao recalled ancient legends that thunder was divine punishment, one of the most terrifying forces in the world. The Taoist sects, relying on thunder magic, had killed countless powerful demons.
"However, my lightning magic is still too weak, and I am completely unable to fight back."
As the ball lightning continued to shrink, the lightning spirit within Jiang Qiao's body trembled slightly. He knew he couldn't use it anymore, otherwise he might harm this divine being that was still in the process of being conceived.
"If his mere aura is this terrifying, how horrifying would it be if the City God were to make a move?"
There's little point in continuing to use Lei Ling.
Although Lei Ting can exorcise evil spirits, his current strength is insufficient. Even if he gives it his all, he cannot change the vast difference in power.
It's like water can extinguish a fire, but it's a drop in the ocean and doesn't do much.
"If we can fully nurture the Thunder Spirit, it might be able to withstand the City God's aura, or even confront it head-on."
Jiang Qiao took a deep breath.
Fifteen seconds!
After withdrawing the lightning, the number flashed through his mind.
All his preparations were as fragile as a blank sheet of paper before God.
"According to legend, the City God is just a local deity."
"The City God himself is divided into three levels: the Capital City God, the Prefecture City God, and the County City God."
"I wonder what rank this person from Yancheng is."
The shroud covering his body reeked of a foul stench, which was unbearable to smell no matter how you looked at it.
But at this moment, it became Cambridge's last lifeline.
"If the shroud is useless, we can only activate the double pupils and ball lightning again, and hold on for as long as we can."
8Вσоk.соm
"If all else fails, I'll use the Substitute Life Technique to die once."
"Also, making a wish and rolling the dice might buy some time."
Jiang Qiao felt a little gloomy.
He did some mental calculations and realized that even if he used up all his resources, he could probably only last for about twenty minutes at most.
This is assuming the current level of paranormal activity remains unchanged.
"I wonder if the female ghost on my back will lend me a hand at a crucial moment."
Jiang Qiao recalled that when the female ghost dressed as a student attacked him on the bus, the female ghost on his back had helped him.
However, since this female ghost wasn't raised by him, he couldn't be sure if she would still help him.
Moreover, even if the female ghost wanted to help him, she might not be able to withstand the City God.
"Besides, the earthenware bowl probably won't be enough to handle the current situation. But that wooden box might be useful in a critical moment."
While pondering.
A terrifying malice has seeped into the shroud, colliding with this mysterious and supernatural object!
It seems that the worst-case scenario he had anticipated did not occur.
The malice surged like waves, relentlessly battering the shroud, yet the shroud remained unchanged.
All supernatural power vanished the moment it touched it.
"This shroud is indeed very powerful."
Upon seeing this result, Jiang Qiao slowly let out a sigh of relief.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
We're safe, at least for now.
Only then did he have time to look up and look around.
At this moment, the bus was shrouded in a thick green haze, and although it was still moving forward, its speed had slowed down considerably.
In the driver's seat, one foot was on the gas pedal and the other hand was on the steering wheel, but there was no sign of life in his body; he looked like a corpse.
"Could it be that he couldn't hold on and has already died?"
Jiang Qiao was somewhat unable to make a judgment, because the driver's cab was now covered by a semi-transparent blood-red glass, and the scene inside looked somewhat blurry.
"Is this the level of protection the driver's cab offers?"
Jiang Qiao saw the glass constantly twisting and undulating, as if it were resisting some kind of attack.
"The fact that this car can still move forward under these circumstances speaks volumes."
"It seems that if they dare to use Yancheng as a station, even a temporary one, they must have a mechanism to deal with it."
He shook his head.
Jiang Qiao was somewhat relieved that he hadn't gotten into a fight with the bus driver earlier.
With his abilities, he might not be able to defeat the other party. However, the other party could prevent him from boarding the vehicle.
"We still need to strengthen our capabilities."
"When I'm strong enough in the future, I'll just kill this city god. Why would I have to be in such a sorry state today?"
His desire for power grew stronger.
"We must return to the real world!"
...
Time passed second by second.
Because of the shroud, Jiang Qiao was temporarily safe, and the terrifying malice could not touch him.
But the bus never made it through the green mist.
This made him somewhat uneasy.
"Should we check the situation outside?"
Jiang Qiao sat in the chair, gazing at the vast expanse of green outside, but could see nothing at all.
If you want to observe the outside world, you must open your double pupils.
However, opening double pupils may trigger unknown risks.
Many paranormal attacks originate from "seeing." When you see a vengeful ghost, the vengeful ghost also sees you.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered a supernatural item.
"Perhaps we could give it a try?"
