Chapter 2 Laws

At this time, Peng Cheng looked serious and had a satellite phone in his ear.

"Otsu University? Okay, I'll rush over right away. Please help me prepare the container."

Outside the building, the driver Lao Liu and the special car were already in place and were only waiting for Peng Cheng to arrive before they could set off.

"Old Liu, you've been waiting for a long time. Let's go. The destination is Otsu University."

Peng Cheng was very fast, and as soon as he finished speaking, he sat in the back row.

Lao Liu did not respond, but silently drove towards Dajin University.

In the back seat of the special car, Peng Cheng's expression was solemn. He was worried about his condition. Ghost Box, this is the code name he gave himself, and it is also the ghost he controls: a strange box that replaces his chest, and various items can be taken out of it.

These items can affect ghosts, but the prerequisite for using them is to use them on yourself first.

There was a very deep wound on his abdomen, and a circle of purple-green marks on his knees. The flesh and blood in these two areas had completely festered, exuding a faint stench.

There are fewer and fewer living people around, which also means that he may become the target of evil spirits at any time.

"Damn it, this ghost kills people indiscriminately. Everyone dies in the same way. They die with their backs turned to the earth and their faces turned to the sky."

Although he was frightened in his heart, Cao Yang did not give up analyzing the rules. Feet off the ground is one of the rules of ghosts that he has basically determined so far.

"The person being lifted has his feet off the ground."

The resurgence of evil ghosts is always a problem that ghost controllers cannot escape, but as the person in charge of Dajin City, Peng Cheng could not allow evil ghosts to wreak havoc in the city, so he came.

Zhou Lin suppressed the fear and discomfort in his heart, and imitated Cao Yang and began to observe the common characteristics of those killed by ghosts.

Cao Yang frowned. He also noticed the size of the victim, but it was the woman who was attacked just now that made him suspicious.

Beichen Building is very close to Dajin University, and it only takes about five minutes for Lao Liu to sprint regardless of the cost.

"No, that's not the case. A very thin girl was attacked just now."

"Cao Yang, have you noticed that those killed by ghosts seem to be relatively large people?"

"Use the ability twice, up to two more times, and the ghost box will be fully revived."

"No, my brain is not enough. Guanghui, can you still walk? If not, I will carry you."

Zhou Lin regained some sense and asked uncertainly. Everything that has happened so far cannot be explained by any common sense. It already belongs to the category of metaphysics.

Cao Yang was comforting him and comforting himself at the same time. In the face of ghosts and supernatural events, ordinary people have a 10% survival rate because of high incense. There are also many people who know the rules and still die in the end.

Not only that, this wooden ghost box was eroding his whole body bit by bit. His arms and back had completely turned dark brown, with wrinkles and jagged textures like tree bark.

Cao Yang didn't know when Peng Cheng would arrive. He only knew that the current situation was very dangerous and he would die if he was not careful.

Zhou Lin was a little desperate. He thought that after being admitted to Dajin University, his brain was pretty good, but in the face of absolute fear, his brain was not even muddy.

"That's true, but don't just give up. Ghosts have a fixed pattern of killing. If you can understand this pattern, you still have a good chance of surviving."

"Cao Yang, did we encounter a ghost?"

"Wait, back?!"

Suddenly, Cao Yang seemed to have an epiphany, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Lao Zhou, pick up Guang Hui on your back!"

However, it was obviously not the right time to ask more questions. Zhou Lin pulled up He Guanghui who was lying on the ground. Cao Yang helped He Guanghui lie on Zhou Lin's back. Zhou Lin stood up slowly, clasped his hands behind his back, and successfully carried He Guanghui on his back.

But before he took a few steps, he suddenly tripped over a foot, and He Guanghui fell to the ground on his back.

"Lao Cao, what are you doing?! Is now the time to make such a joke?"

Zhou Lin was a little angry. He didn't understand how Cao Yang, who had always been calm and rational, could play such a trick at this time. But when he stood up and saw the uncontrollable excitement on Cao Yang's face, he became even more confused.

"Old Zhou, look at Guang Hui's posture, and then look at the postures of those corpses."

Zhou Lin suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked around as Cao Yang asked.

He Guanghui's posture is exactly the same as that of those corpses! “Fuck!”

Zhou Lin exclaimed, but Cao Yang covered his mouth.

"Don't get excited yet. Carrying people is just a way for ghosts to kill people. But why ghosts carry people on their backs, or what laws we trigger that cause ghosts to carry us on their backs, I haven't yet figured out."

Zhou LinHe nodded in understanding and said no more.

"You proposed to carry Guanghui because you can carry him. Will the ghost carry him because you can carry him? Then what conditions are met for the ghost to think that it can carry him?"

Cao Yang murmured softly.

"It has something to do with the weight. Guanghui is relatively thin, and I am stronger than him. I can easily carry him on my back."

Zhou Lin replied thoughtfully.

"It should be related to weight, but it may not be lighter than ghosts, because we don't know how ghosts define their own weight. It may be infinitely heavy or infinitely light."

Cao Yang believed that he was very close to determining the laws of ghosts. If he could figure out how ghosts judge weight, everything would be clear.

"Old Cao, look."

Zhou Lin's call once again interrupted Cao Yang's thinking. Looking in the direction of Zhou Lin's finger, Cao Yang saw a strange scene: a humanoid black shadow squatting in front of Li Kai with its back to Li Kai. Ying had no facial features, and if it weren't for his limbs, Cao Yang wouldn't even be able to tell which side was his front.

Li Kai's chest was pressed against the back of the black figure. The bent figure stretched out his hands and clasped them backwards, firmly fixing Li Kai on his back. Then, the black shadow slowly straightened up, and Li Kai's body was also lifted up little by little.

"Don't put your weight on two feet."

Before Li Kai finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped. He died, leaving an unspecified message before he died.

"Obviously Li Kai also noticed some of the patterns of ghosts and used his own life to prove it. It's a pity that he couldn't explain it clearly."

Zhou Lin's fear has deepened. Now there are less than ten people left nearby, and he may be the next one to die.

"Li Kai is right. When I saw him before, he had been hanging on a branch. He probably came down because he was exhausted. But as soon as he landed, he was attacked by ghosts."

Cao Yang said in a deep voice.

"Weight, two feet on the ground. It is impossible to measure the weight of Li Kai hanging on the tree. In other words, his weight is 0. After landing, Li Kai has two feet on the ground. At this time, his weight can be measured , so the ghost attacked him."

"Then, the ghost's judgment of its own weight should be that it is infinitely light, but it has to carry someone heavier than itself. This is the law of ghosts!"
