This actor is full of tricks.

To prevent himself from misreading due to the lighting, Lin Jue took another careful look and called Lie Zeng and the others over.

Finally, they concluded that the old man really did not cast a shadow. No matter what angle the light shone on the old man from, Lin Jue should have been able to see the shadow of the old man's feet from his position.

"What exactly is this thing?" Lie Zeng looked at his feet. Even the strange creatures had shadows, and even the weakest obsession had a shadow. Why didn't that old man have a shadow?

A soul? A completely new kind of eeriness? Or some kind of 3D projection technology?
Lin Jue recalled that in the horror movies of his previous life, the way to distinguish between people and ghosts was through shadows. However, in this world, there are no ghosts. The eerie is just a completely new species that is different from humans. It has been given life by the mist and is similar to a zombie with special abilities. It is obviously different from the ghosts he knew in his previous life.

"Could this really be a ghost?"

Lin Jue became interested and stared intently at the door. If ghosts really existed, what abilities would be needed to deal with them?
Taoist magic? Talismans? Buddhist scriptures?

The old man walked slowly, step by step, until he reached the boss's door. This made Lin Jue narrow his eyes slightly. This old man, whom he didn't know, seemed to want to enter the boss's room.

Is he the one who's going to kill me?
Something's not right. Judging from what the owner said before, she clearly knew about it. She was worried that the guests would see the old man, which is why she lied and told the guests not to leave the room at night. It seems that the old man and the owner must have some connection.

Then Lin Jue saw the old man put his hand on the doorknob, making a gesture to open the door, but the door did not open. However, it seemed that the old man really opened the door, slowly walked in, and disappeared into the corridor.

"Wall-penetrating technique? Amazing!" Lie Zeng's eyes lit up.

Lin Jue felt a sense of familiarity with the old man. He felt that the old man was obsessed with doing something mechanically, similar to the old director's obsession, but also very different from obsession.

Because obsession cannot penetrate physical form, when Lin Jue blocked the old headmaster's path, the old headmaster pretended not to see him and walked around him.

But that old man just passed through the heavy door right under his nose; he really did look like a ghost or something.

"correct!"

Thinking of the old kindergarten director, Lin Jue suddenly remembered the old director's wicked ways.

The old park director's ghost realm was formed from the most prosperous amusement park in his memory, filled with the happy memories of tourists, and those memories also coalesced into individual tourists, such as young men and women screaming in terror on the roller coaster, and children surrounding the old park director asking for balloons.

Although those tourists could be seen, they could not be touched or touched. They were just a visible fragment of memory. Moreover, when Lin Jue first pushed open the wooden door of the old director's ghostly abode, a little girl passed through his body, just like the scene he was seeing now!
"In the old director's ghost realm, are there any traces of those tourists?" Lin Jue frowned and thought carefully before finally arriving at an answer.

No!

To confirm, he even released the old headmaster and had him enter the other party's ghost realm.

Half a minute later, he came out again. He had just confirmed that the tourists in the Ghost Realm also had no shadows.

In other words, the old man we just saw was also a fragment of a memory that was materialized by someone.

Who is it? Is it the landlady, or the person in the room?

Lin Jue quietly closed the door, and Lie Zeng looked puzzled: "Boss, aren't you going to go and ask?"

“There’s nothing to ask. The landlady probably chose to open a guesthouse in this place because she didn’t want to be disturbed. These are her secrets, and nobody likes having their secrets discovered.” Lin Jue stretched. “For example, if I ignored your feelings and kept pressing you about the God of the Underworld, how would you feel?”

"As expected of the leader, his vision is different from ours." Lie Zeng gave a thumbs up and asked, "So what's next?" "Rest, aren't we going to watch the sunrise later?" Lin Jue glanced at the time: "I'm going to sleep for four hours. Wake me up in four hours."

At 2 a.m., Lin Jue tossed his backpack to Lie Zeng, and, lightly armed, sneaked out of the guesthouse with the ghost, heading towards the mountaintop.

Before they had walked more than a few hundred meters, the eerie creatures inside the raincoats could no longer contain themselves and began clamoring to come out.

Lin Jue shook his raincoat, and in an instant, it exuded a ghostly aura. Combined with the somewhat eerie dark environment, any other hiker would definitely be scared to death.

Along the way, the group of ghosts seemed very excited. The higher they climbed, the lower the temperature became. The dirt road under their feet had turned into snow. This place was no longer suitable for humans. The altitude was too high, the temperature was too low, and altitude sickness was very severe. It was only because Lin Jue had a strong physique and controlled fire that he was not affected by these abnormal climates.

The best place to stay on the entire sacred mountain is the guesthouse owned by the landlady. The climate is neither too hot nor too cold, the location is excellent, and there is a fenced-off tourist area nearby. Basically, that place is the end point for ordinary climbers.

And beyond that, it's the challenge for extreme sports enthusiasts.

Lin Jue ran like the wind, and the group of ghosts ran even faster. They acted as if they had never seen snow before, frolicking in the snow, having snowball fights, and building snowmen.

"Wang Qingya, Cat Spirit, don't run! I want revenge!" Blood Shadow yelled as he kneaded a huge snowball, raised it, and charged towards Wang Qingya and the black cat.

But soon he screamed and ran away, only to be pinned down in the snow by Wang Qingya, who had merged with the black cat, and piled up into a snowman.

"Wait, wait, did you hear anything?"

Suddenly, Lie Zeng made a shushing gesture, and Wang Qingya and Xueying, who were playing around, quieted down and listened attentively.

The sound of the wind seemed to be very faint.

"Help, Help"

Could it be that other climbers have gotten into danger?

Lin Jue frowned and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came. As he got closer, the sound became weaker and weaker, which proved that the person calling for help was gradually getting worse.

Lin Jue quickened his pace, but when he arrived at his destination, he suddenly froze on the spot.

In the distance, in the snow, there was a person who had been frozen stiff, covered in frost, and looked like he was about to die.

"The temperature here is low, but there's no blizzard, and the snow on the ground isn't thick. Why is it frozen like this?" Lin Jue sensed something was wrong, but he still leaned closer: "Hey buddy, can you hear me?"

"Help, Help"

When Lin Jue saw that figure, his pupils suddenly contracted.

That figure was clearly the old man he had just seen! (End of Chapter)
