I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

The young woman was taken aback and blurted out a question.

"Can't I put this in my suitcase for carry-on?"

Lu Ban glanced at the list of prohibited items on the sign above his head and confirmed that there was no crowbar.

"Uh, no, that's not it..."

The young lady suspiciously checked Lu Ban in, and then stared at his departing figure for a long time.

Lu Ban and Feng Yu chatted as they walked toward the boarding gate.

When going through security, Lu Ban threw his backpack into the security scanner, took off his coat, put his phone and other items in the basket, and walked up to the security staff.

drop--

The machine in the security guard's hand beeped; it was the metal buckle on Lu Ban's belt.

Just as he was about to let Lu Ban go, he caught a glimpse of the X-ray image on the security screening machine.

In Lu Ban's backpack, besides the usual changes of clothes and chargers, there was also a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

"Suona?"

He was puzzled.

However, since musical instruments are not prohibited items, he did not ask any further questions.

There are no direct flights from Jiangcheng to Pohnpei Island. You need to transfer in Jiangcheng to Guam, and then transfer again to Pohnpei Island, which requires three transfers. In addition, there are only three flights a week from Guam to Pohnpei Island, which is quite rare.

Therefore, facing a long journey, Lu Ban decisively chose first class.

For just an extra six thousand yuan, you can enjoy the highest level of service, which is very cost-effective.

The first-class cabin also has a VIP waiting room, where Lu Ban enjoyed a light meal and checked the weather.

"The weather has been sunny the whole way, so it seems we're in good luck."

Typhoons in the southwestern Pacific mostly occur from November to April of the following year, which is the opposite of the situation in the Northern Hemisphere. In July, the western Pacific should theoretically be sunny and mild.

"I hope so."

Feng Yu didn't eat anything, whether it was because her wound hadn't healed or because she simply found the food greasy.

Anyway, Lu Ban was thinking, "Why not take a bite if it's free?" so he took a little bit of everything.

Thanks to the clear weather, the plane checked in on time, and the two boarded the plane, traveling from Jiangcheng to the island nation, and then transferring from the island nation to Guam.

First class is relatively quiet and offers more personal space. Compared to economy class, where even sitting down feels cramped, first class allows you to lie down and even take a shower – it's truly a luxury.

After having lunch on the plane—a rather sumptuous Japanese meal—Lu Ban prepared to take a short rest.

But just as he lay down and closed his eyes, Lu Ban heard Feng Yu from next door sneak into his private room.

Something's not right on the plane.

Feng Yu's voice was very soft.

Chapter 291 Ghost Flight

What's on the plane?

Lu Ban immediately became alert. He listened carefully but did not hear any strange noises.

They were currently at an altitude of 10,000 meters in the air. If anything went wrong, everyone on the plane would be in danger.

"look."

Feng Yu opened Lu Ban's cubicle door and made him look outside.

Lu Ban looked outside, and at first glance it seemed that nothing had changed, but he quickly realized what was going on.

It's too quiet.

Even in first class, there were flight attendants coming and going to serve the passengers, and the whole plane looked quite old, not as brand new as Lu Ban had seen before.

"Strange?"

Lu Ban reacted quickly.

The supernatural is a kind of extraordinary phenomenon that exists in this world. It is unpredictable and can appear at any time and in any place. The supernatural is usually a manifestation of a certain scene and has its own rules. As long as you can grasp the rules of the supernatural, you can avoid its harm to a certain extent. If you can break the rules and do certain things, you can make the supernatural leave.

Last time, Lu Ban and Feng Yu went to a horror movie theater. As long as they followed the theater's rules, watching a horror movie that would affect reality would allow them to escape during the day.

So this time...

Lu Ban stood up and went to the private room where the first-class flight attendants were resting. He looked around the other cabins and found that there was no one there.

The interior of the plane has become old-fashioned and has a vintage feel, like an airliner from the 1970s or 80s.

"I'll go check out economy class."

He then went to the densely packed economy class, which was also empty. There seemed to be some stains on the seats, which made him feel nauseous.

"Everyone on the plane is gone, and we don't know if the pilot is still alive."

Feng Yu also checked the restroom.

"Even without a pilot, autopilot can continue for a while. We need to find the strange rules that are controlling this aircraft now."

Lu Ban walked over to a chair and carefully examined the stains.

The color is very dark, seemingly caused by some liquid splashing out...

"Blood?"

Lu Ban naturally thought of the bloodstains.

In fact, the walls and corners of the entire flight were covered with mottled marks, as if a massacre had occurred and been cleaned up, but the marks could not be washed away no matter what.

"Is the source of this strange phenomenon an airplane that crashed?"

He glanced at Feng Yu.

Encountering the strange is frightening, but being with Feng Yu makes it less worrying. She possesses a wealth of knowledge and should be able to resolve any dangers.

"It's possible that we need to figure out its rules now, and the conditions that would make it disappear."

Feng Yu spoke slowly and deliberately, just like a mother teaching her child to do homework.

"First of all, most of the supernatural phenomena cannot exist in one place permanently; they will inevitably move over time. Therefore, we can roughly guess that as long as we can safely take this plane to our destination, we will be able to break free from the supernatural phenomena."

Feng Yu opened the suitcase above the seat; it was completely empty.

She walked forward, opening the boxes to check them as she went.

"Secondly, the strangeness will not allow us to sit safely for the entire journey; it will inevitably create something to disturb us."

When he reached the last row, Feng Yu hesitated for a moment before opening the last suitcase.

Above the seat, in the suitcase, there was a lump of meat.

The meat was different from the chilled meat in the slaughterhouse. It looked more like some kind of creature with its skin peeled off. You could clearly see the muscle veins and the blood vessels hidden underneath. Black blood flowed in those blood vessels. The whole piece of meat was trembling slightly, as if it were breathing, or like a worm simply making an instinctive reaction.

Lu Ban's [True Vision] could see that there were eyes inside the chunks of flesh.

It wasn't just one eye, but a dense array of eyes, as numerous as the shell of a pineapple.

These eyes, located inside the flesh, opened the moment the suitcase door was opened, stimulated by the outside.

In an instant, the meat began to flow.

Yes, it is fluid.

The chunk of meat went limp like dough with too much water, and eyes darted between the pieces of meat. The lump of meat just flowed out of the suitcase, causing Feng Yu to take a step back.

pat-

pat-

pat-

The meat dripped onto the ground, gradually forming a new lump of meat.

Lu Ban discovered that the chunks of meat flowing out of the suitcase seemed endless, as if they would never run out.

thump--

The other suitcase also made a crashing sound. Before Lu Ban and Feng Yu could do anything, the door was also smashed open, and more chunks of flesh flowed out, like water trying to fill the cabin.

Without saying a word, Lu Ban conjured up [Last Words] in his hand and launched a speech bomb at the lump of flesh.

The murmurs of the great being emanated from those chunks of flesh, the frenzied, fragmented, and twisted whispers resonating like a hymn.

Lu Ban observed that the chunks of flesh, unlike other creatures, were not tormented or affected by the babbling. Their movements paused slightly, but soon they became active again.

And they are more active than before.

Like a fanatical believer who has finally heard the Lord's divine revelation, in the blink of an eye, the blood and flesh flowing out of the suitcases surged like a torrent, directly obscuring the last row and rushing towards Lu Ban and Feng Yu.

"Aren't these creatures afraid of talking in their sleep?"

Most of the creatures Lu Ban had ever seen, whether alive or dead, would go mad, twist, and become uncontrollable due to the ravings of this great being, eventually being corrupted and eroded into monsters, losing all ability to resist.

A small minority will become agitated by the existence of this great rambling, falling into even more severe madness, leading to their self-destruction.

However, the chunks of meat on the plane were not affected by the great being's ramblings. It seemed that to them, the ramblings were as pleasant as a hymn, and could even inspire their fighting spirit.

*Pfft*

From the pieces of flesh scattered on the ground, countless eyes looked at Lu Ban. Those eyes were filled with resentment, anger, sadness, contempt, pity and other emotions, just like a portrayal of the suffering masses. The torrent of flesh swept towards Lu Ban, and he immediately switched to verbal bullets and fired at the other side.

bang——

The surging mass of flesh suddenly seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, crashing headlong into an invisible barrier and scattering in all directions. The eyes, exposed to the air, were either smashed to pieces by the impact or fell to the ground, trembling and trying to return to the embrace of flesh and blood.

Lu Ban chose to use his verbal bullet to hit the foremost mass of flesh and blood, causing it to move backward at high speed. As a result, the two collided, triggering the impact.

But more flesh and blood flowed over, gradually filling Lu Ban's entire field of vision and obscuring Feng Yu's figure.

Finally, there was no other sound in the space around Lu Ban.

Only viscous flesh and blood, and countless eyes, silently watched him.
