Jiang Qiao once participated in an A-level mission called the "Ghost Train Disappearance Case".
It was during this mission that he first boarded that eerie train, encountered various vengeful ghosts, and learned about the strange place called Nightmare City.
After completing the task, he received a reward.
It was an old instant camera, clearly from the last century. There were even several cracks on the lens.
It looks like it should stay in a museum or on a photography enthusiast's shelf, rather than being given to survivors as a quest reward.
However, it possesses a rather interesting ability.
The photos it takes can reveal hidden evil spirits, and even superstitious curses!
This ability is extremely useful for most people. Just look at Ah Zhen's position in the team to understand how rare it is to have the ability or ability to detect paranormal phenomena or objects.
But unfortunately.
This ability seems somewhat useless to Jiang Qiao, who possesses "double pupils".
So ever since he got this supernatural item, he has never used it and has just left it in his pocket to gather dust.
"Perhaps we can give it a try now."
Jiang Qiao squinted and took out his camera.
at this time.
Outside the window, a vast expanse of green smog obscured everything, making it impossible to distinguish east from west, north from south, or even where the car was traveling.
If it weren't for the roar of the engine and the cloud of mist created by the vehicle, Jiang Qiao might even have the illusion that the bus had already stopped.
But without a doubt.
The car's speed has decreased significantly compared to before.
And it's getting slower and slower.
"If this continues, we may be stuck here for a long time if we can't get through this fog."
Jiang Qiao tightened the shroud around his body, then suddenly stood up and went outside the driver's compartment.
Bang--
Bang bang—
Bang bang bang—
"Driver, are you still alright?"
He knocked on the door and called out to the driver inside, hoping to communicate with him about the current situation.
However, although the blood-red glass enclosure rattled, the driver inside did not react at all. He remained with his hands on the steering wheel and his foot on the accelerator.
Jiang Qiao observed carefully and found that his eyes did not move at all.
This is very abnormal!
"Damn it, is he really dead?"
He dared not pat the protective shield in front of him anymore, worried that if he used too much force, the shock would cause the driver's foot to slip off the accelerator, and that would be the end of him.
"Why did it have to be this time of year? Why did I have to die now?"
Are you fucking kidding me?
Jiang Qiao cursed and swore, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, the person is dead, what can you do?
He didn't even dare to force his way into the driver's seat, fearing it would provoke a confrontation with the bus driver, which would be disastrous.
"You motherfucker."
After uttering a phrase from the national essence, he turned and walked towards the back of the carriage.
At the rear of the carriage, there were also walls made of human-shaped leather.
However, when you touch it, you can clearly feel that the bottom of this leather is hard and there is even a slight bulge.
He remembered there was a wooden door at this location, and outside the door was a very large abyss.
Above the abyss, a path paved with bluestone slabs stretches into the unknown darkness.
"I can wait a while if I stay in the clouds for too long."
"But what if other changes occur?"
"I need to make some preparations."
Jiang Qiao stroked the damp, cool human skin wall, feeling the hard doorknob beneath it.
"If I end up trapped here, perhaps I can open that door, let the things inside out, and trigger some kind of change."
"In addition, there are also strange things lingering nearby in the supernatural space connected by the pottery bowl."
"They can be released together then."
He pondered this in his heart.

If we really reach a dead end, then we can only create chaos and try to profit from the chaos.
Finding a way to survive amidst the chaos of vengeful ghosts is not necessarily a bad thing.
However, he needs to ascertain the current situation outside before making any further decisions.
Of course, taking photos may also carry risks.
But I'll say it again.
There is no absolute safety in the supernatural world; it's just a choice between bad and worse.
"This was probably the most dangerous time of my life, the first time I've been so close to death."
He took a deep breath.
They moved to the front of the vehicle again and pointed the camera at the windshield.
Although the entire pane of glass was made of women's braids, strangely enough, he could see clearly what was happening outside.
"You can't see in from the outside, but you can see out from the inside."
"This is truly an organic combination of science and the supernatural."
Jiang Qiao chuckled, then raised his camera, pointed it out the car window, and pressed the shutter.
"Click"
A soft click came from the old camera.
Splash!
A photograph with a wide white border slowly emerged from the camera nozzle.
The process went smoothly, and no paranormal phenomena occurred.
However, when Jiang Qiao picked up the photo, he showed a look of astonishment and shock.
"I see."
He gasped.
Although I was prepared, I still felt a chill from the bottom of my heart.
In the photo.
The once vast expanse of green smog became much more transparent, and densely packed human figures appeared ahead where nothing could be seen from the car window before.
These figures, their bodies rotting and their eyes vacant, stared at the vehicle, like walking corpses.
But what truly unsettled Jiang Qiao was that these figures didn't appear to be ordinary vengeful ghosts. They were dressed in blue, silent garments, resembling a style from over a hundred years ago.
On the chest of the garment, there were also large "soldier" characters embroidered on it!
In addition, Jiang Qiao saw several figures carrying objects. Some were black iron chains, and others were chipped knives.
One of them was carrying a square white paper lantern.
Judging from the style, it is exactly the same as the lantern that was just floating in the air, even the black "奠" character on it is unchanged!
"Could these vengeful ghosts be the ghost soldiers from the City God Temple?"
"But judging from their appearance, they were just standing there blankly on the road, without doing anything else."
"But if the bus wants to move forward, it has to crash through them."
"No wonder the speed is getting slower and slower."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered, his heart filled with an ominous premonition.
Once the bus is stopped, these "ghost soldiers" who now look like statues will likely board the bus directly!
Even with a shroud, there's no guarantee of escaping unscathed.
In the current environment, you don't even know where to run!
"However, there seems to be something above this group of ghost soldiers."
Jiang Qiao carefully scanned every corner of the photo and quickly spotted a dark shape in the upper left corner.
It's just that because of the camera angle, only a small part was captured, so it's not clear what it is.
"Take one more picture."
Without hesitation, he raised his camera, aimed it at the distant sky in the upper left corner, and pressed the shutter again.
"Click"
"Splash!"
The second photo appeared in Jiang Qiao's hands.
"This is..."
Jiang Qiao glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.
"This is fucking terrible!"
"This is terrible!"
