No one knew how many ghosts were hiding inside Coffin Village. Chen Ge was reminded of what Ah Qing had said. Ten percent of Coffin Village was dead, ten percent alive, and the remaining eighty percent were ghosts.
"Based on that ratio, we're only seeing a small part of it."
Chen Ge's group was not in a good situation. Four dirty clothes floated toward them, and two children with painted faces jumped behind them. The door of the old house was pushed open, and a twisted face poked out from under the pillow.
All the paths were blocked, and they could only move forward. However, there was a strange light in front of them.
With his Yin Yang Vision, Chen Ge could see clearly that it was several moving human heads.
Holding the hammer, Chen Ge did not plan to slow down. If he charged forward, he would only need to face a portion of the ghosts. If he stopped, he would be surrounded by all of them.
"Chen Ge, slow down! It was dark earlier, but now there's light. There has to be something wrong. That's probably the Skull Lantern that Master Bai mentioned! "Ol 'Wei was not blinded by fear, and he tried to warn Chen Ge.
"Don't worry, I can see it clearly. It's just a normal lantern. Charge forward! Don't be afraid! "Chen Ge did not plan to stop.
The three ran as fast as they could, and the child in Master Bai's arms started to cry. The commotion was loud, and more ghosts started to run toward them.
With the light from the Skull Lantern, the darkness around them dissipated, and they could see black shadows moving closer.
Strange footsteps could be heard on the street. When he looked up, he saw a black coffin moving in the alley.
The coffin was propped up by dragon rods, and there were four people with their heads lowered in front and behind it.
They were dressed like normal villagers, but the expressions on their faces were scary. Their mouths were open, and they were smiling like they were not carrying a coffin but food.
"Coffin Bearers? Xiao Chen! Stop! Chen Ge! Don't go! "Master Bai hugged the basket, and his arm was protecting the baby. He was unable to stop Chen Ge.
Chen Ge, who was at the front, also saw the four strange people carrying the coffin, but he couldn't stop now.
The four Pallbearers happened to walk out from the alley. The coffin was placed in the middle, as if they were prepared to block the path of Chen Ge's group. It was a very coincidental move, as if it had been planned in advance.
Chen Ge would never underestimate his opponents, even if they were ghosts. If the other party was unwilling to let them go, then he had to go. Only by destroying the other party's plan would he be safe.
"Pallbearers are not to be trifled with!"
Master Bai screamed, but Chen Ge ignored him. "Let's get there first!"
The hammer landed in the middle of the coffin. Wood splinters flew everywhere, and the surrounding ghosts stopped moving.
"Let's go!"
Ol 'Wei took the child from Master Bai and jumped over the coffin. He had been a police officer for more than 20 years, and this was the first time he had seen someone as aggressive as Chen Ge.
The four Pallbearers slowly raised their heads, and the smiles froze on their faces. They looked at the cracked coffin lid, and their pale faces turned green!
Shrill screams echoed down the narrow street, and the four Pallbearers chased after Chen Ge.
The dragon bar fell off, and the lingering spirits inside the coffin crawled out. They bowed at Chen Ge before disappearing with the wind.
Until now, Chen Ge still had no idea what the Pallbearers were. He ran after smashing the coffin, and he did not turn back to look.
The three ran as fast as they could, and they got closer to the light. Ol 'Wei carried the child, and he slowly realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be something like a lantern following behind them.
"Chen Ge, are you sure that's just a normal lantern?" The child cried in Ol 'Wei's arms. There was a group of ghosts chasing after them, but he did not dare to stop.
"I'm sure!" Chen Ge dragged the child and chased after Ol 'Wei with Master Bai.
The light flickered, and they moved a few more meters. Even Master Bai, who had poor vision, could see many white heads flying before them.
"Chen Ge! Stop! That's a skull lantern! "
Master Bai held on tightly to Chen Ge, but Chen Ge did not slow down and continued to drag him forward.
"A skull lantern, isn't it still a lantern?"
With a swing of the hammer, the first skull lantern that got close was slapped away before it could say anything!
The candle shattered to the ground, and the light went out at Chen Ge's feet. "Follow me!"
Before the three passed through the sea of floating heads, they heard the sound of wind blowing, and they turned to look.
On the street that Ah Qing had marked with a red cross on the map, a group of people had appeared out of nowhere.
They were dressed in mourning clothes, crying and wailing, but not a single tear flowed out of their eyes.
Paper money fell, and the flags swayed. They raised the paper dolls in their hands and walked toward Chen Ge's group.
"Something big has happened!" Master Bai's heart raced, and his hands tightened into fists. He was so nervous that he could not find the words.
"These people are different from normal ghosts?" Chen Ge also realized that once the funeral procession appeared in the alley, the human headlights around them immediately dispersed. The Sedan Children and Rag Ghosts also stopped moving, but the four Pallbearers became even crazier.
"Of course, this is called a funeral! The dead will send the dead to their graves, and the Pallbearers are just a part of the funeral. If the coffin doesn't arrive, the funeral will continue to wander at night, "Master Bai yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Then we'd better hurry."
The skull lanterns were scared away by the funeral, and Chen Ge's group made use of this opportunity to rush out.
There were two streets ahead. The left was the road of life, and the right led to the funeral.
"You guys run first, I'll buy you some time." Chen Ge handed the map to Master Bai. He had memorized the route in his mind.
The ghosts at the front of the funeral had already met up with the Pallbearers. When they saw the coffin that Chen Ge had smashed, their expressions were interesting.
"You two go first. I have a feeling I'm going to be targeted."
Chen Ge felt the eyes of the ghosts in the funeral. He stood in the middle of the road with the hammer in his hand. It was obvious who the killer was.
At that moment, all the hatred was focused on him, and Chen Ge was not used to it. "Let's go! I'll buy you some time! Don't mind me! "
Shoving the comic into his pocket, Chen Ge thought that the presence of outsiders would affect his and his employees' ability, but that sounded completely different to Master Bai and Ol 'Wei.
"Don't do anything stupid! We'll leave together! "Ol 'Wei grabbed Chen Ge's arm, and his voice was urgent.
"I'll catch up to them in a bit. You guys go first!" Chen Ge called Xu Yin and Zhang Ya's names in his heart, and somehow, he got a response from Xu Yin.
"No!" Ol 'Wei and Master Bai said at the same time. They did not expect Chen Ge to make such a decision; it was too heavy for them.
"That's enough." Chen Ge pushed Ol 'Wei's hand away and said darkly, "Think of it as doing this for the baby. He was born in the darkness and has not seen the beauty of the world. You have to take him away!"
After saying that, Chen Ge charged at the ghosts that normal people would not have been able to avoid. He was like a moth flying into a flame, he did not look back.
Seeing his figure swallowed by the ghosts, Master Bai and Ol 'Wei's eyes reddened. In the dark night, the figure was like the only light.
"Chen Ge …"
At that moment, Ol 'Wei and Master Bai did not say anything. So there was someone like this in the world who would sacrifice himself for another person's life.
Ol 'Wei hugged the baby in his arms tightly. "So, I've misunderstood him. We've all been wrong!"
Chen Ge, who charged into the funeral, ran in another direction. With a group of ghosts chasing after him, he did not dare turn back.
