Beside the fat lady sat a middle-aged Mediterranean uncle, roaring until his voice was about to break, "I have never seen you treat customers like this! We are here for tourism! Not to be shocked."

Seeing the two of them getting along very well, they must be a married couple. Tu Tri sighed tiredly. Besides not being able to deal with the drunken ghost, he also had to appease these people who didn't know the truth.

She looked towards Chu Ha, but saw that Chu Ha was still sleeping with his eyes closed, while Ly Dinh Dinh, who was sitting behind them, stood up a little.

"I have made it very clear to you. There are no passenger buses going up the mountain this month. You had to come anyway. It wasn't us who asked you to come. If you don't obey our arrangements, you can get off the bus now!"

Ly Dinh Dinh knew that with the food she ate, when dealing with the drunken ghosts, she might not be able to help Mr. Hai Tru and Chu Ha in any way. She could only do something else.

"You little girl, what attitude." Fatty Auntie took Mediterranean Uncle's hand and pretended to walk towards the car door. But after only a few steps, she stopped. The car had already left for several hours, and there were no other cars on the road. Did they want them to walk back to Lingxia?

"We will complain to you." Fatty Aunt pulled Mediterranean Uncle and sat back in her seat.

Ly Dinh Dinh rolled her eyes and laughed coldly.

"Haha, useless." Another cold laugh rang out. Tu Tri saw that a young man in a research-grade suit stood up from the Lu Xing Tuan, "If you don't go, I will."

"This is the mayor of the Central Highlands' younger brother." Chu Ha opened his eyes wide, his face full of helplessness. It was this person who took the initiative and insisted on going through Tai Ling.

"Open the door, let me get out of the car." The man in a suit walked a few steps to the car door, looking unhappily at the driver Ly Kieu.

"Sir, please don't be impatient for now. There are no other vehicles in Thai Linh right now. It's not safe for you to walk back." Chu Ha had to patiently explain.

Tu Tri also sat up straight, looking very nervously at this man in a suit.

"Walking? I need to walk?" The man in the suit looked sarcastic, he raised his hand, revealing a watch-like object.

"Communicator!" Tu Tri heard the other people from the Traveling Group exclaim in shock. This world's science and technology was not as developed as her original world. This kind of communicator was far more expensive than a smart phone, not something ordinary people could afford.

"I will contact the travel agency and have them send a car to pick me up." The man in the suit sneered, "And you guys, even if you are punished, you won't be able to escape."

"Open the door!" he shouted.

"Chu Ha saw his determined attitude and could only say, "Ly Kieu, open the door and let him come down.

The demon hunter and driver Li Qiao stopped the car and was about to open the door when he heard Xu Zhi say, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Mr. Hai Tru." Chu Ha asked.

"He can't go down." Tu Tri said, according to Hong Tu's rules, [once one steps onto 'its' path, one will never be able to return to the old path. Otherwise, one must die.]

The man in the suit clearly wanted to turn back. Even though this person was bullying others, Tu Tri did not want to just watch him die.

But this rule came from Hong Zi's reminder, and was not in the "Tailing Pass Traveler's Rules", how should she explain it?

"I feel like we can't go back." Tu Tri pondered for a moment, "Every year, Viet Linh Thi will move forward a certain distance, never retreating back, does this represent 'its' certain rules of action? If we don't follow these rules, could we be in danger?"

"Mr. Hai Zhu, what you said makes sense." Chu He frowned. But this is just your guess. If your guess is incorrect, this person will return home safely after getting off the car. It will also reduce the burden on these other Drunken Masters and Demon Hunters.

But she did not say this in the end, "You choose for yourself, you are responsible for yourself, do whatever you want. However, I suggest you listen to this lady. If there are no problems, we will not be responsible." She looked towards the arrogant and haughty man in the suit.

"I don't understand, I'm talking nonsense." The man in the suit cursed and got out of the car, leaving only one sentence: I will definitely complain to you guys.

The car door closed, the bus moved forward again.

The remaining fans of the Traveling Group looked at him, good, no need to sit in this weird car, with these weird people together.

Tu Tri sighed, stood up, walked around Professor Lam and Chu Ha, and walked to the end of the row of seats. She looked out through the crystal window behind her. Also sitting at the end of the row was an elderly couple who were curiously looking around with her.

Only saw that man in suit first said something to the intercom, then waited there.

A few seconds later, several figures rushed out from the dense forest on the edge of the highway. In the blink of an eye, the man in a suit had his head, limbs, and body split apart, his flesh and blood blurred.

"Ah!" The old lady saw this scene and screamed, fainting. The old man was also trembling all over, so scared that he could not speak.

Chu Ha, Ly Dinh Dinh, Vuong Cuong and several other people from the Traveling Group hurriedly went to the back row. Through the back window, they saw only a pool of blood on the ground, the man in the suit had long since disappeared.

"There were several crawling things on the ground, they looked like humans at first glance, but their limbs were very long, and they also had tails. They first used their claws to cut the colonel into four pieces, then held his remains in their mouths and escaped into the mountains and forests." Tu Tri said calmly.

A series of ear-piercing screams erupted from here. The people of the Traveling Group were all terrified. Especially Fatty Aunt and Mediterranean, they thought and beat their chests in fear, thinking to themselves that it was fortunate that they had been in a tight spot just now, otherwise they would have met the same fate as that man in a suit.

"I told you earlier it was very dangerous, so you guys shouldn't come. You guys had to come. Now that you're here, you have to listen to us and follow our rules." Li Tingting took the opportunity to educate, and everyone nodded quickly.

"Now hurry up and eat something, forget about all you saw." Li Ting Ting said again. Everyone naturally obeyed.

Seeing the old couple, one was unconscious, the other was trembling with fear. Zhou He took out two [Sleep Healing Charms] and stuck them on their bodies. The two of them instantly fell into a deep sleep. Seeing a drunken ghost harming someone would cause mental pollution, this charm could effectively cure it.

"Luckily, this kind of talisman that is effective on ordinary people can be afforded. No need for me to spend money." Zhou He muttered in a low voice, then returned to his seat.

"Something is not right." After sitting down, Zhou He's expression became serious again, "Those few fingers just now should be low-level Tai Ling ghost drugs."

But this area is still within the safe zone, there has never been such a thing before.

Tu Tri thought for a moment, "Whether that is possible or not is because the previous vehicles, whether they were passenger vans or empty vehicles, did not go through the retreat route. Therefore, this kind of thing has never happened before, and the "Tailing Pass Travel Rules" also does not accept the use of this rule."

"What you said makes sense." Chu Ha asked again, "Mr. Hai Tru, how did you figure out this rule?"

"Just speculation." Tu Tri said, "Tu Viet Linh Thi conducts a summary of the rules."

Professor Lin also nodded, "I have studied folklore, and there are quite a few ghosts behind it. I feel that the so-called ghosts must have a purpose for their existence, and they must also have a certain way of acting. This is the cause and effect of their group."

Tu Tri looked at her in agreement. A professor is a professor. Even if he doesn't specialize in researching ghosts, what he said still makes sense.

Chu Ha suddenly realized, she was really lucky to hire Tu Tri, it seemed that along the way she had to ask this demon hunter's opinion many times.

Also, after this mission, she wants to further incorporate the rule of "Cannot return to the old path".

But immediately after, her face completely collapsed.

Unable to return to the old ways, it means they have been restricted by the Viet Linh Thi rules.

In other words, on this journey, they will definitely encounter Viet Linh Thi.

She tightly pinched the communicator on her wrist. "Mr. 46, you must come save us." She thought.

After the tragic death of a man in a suit, the people of the Traveling Group were all afraid, but did not make a fuss. They finally felt for themselves that there were terrifying supernatural powers in this world. They also understood why Zhou He and the others had always refused to let them go up the mountain. But regret was useless, they could only carefully read the "Tailing Pass Traveler's Rules", afraid that they would accidentally bring disaster upon themselves.

Time passed quickly, it was 5:30 in the morning.

Chu Ha nodded to Ly Dinh Dinh. Ly Dinh Dinh coughed, "Everyone, please go to the restroom. If you want to go down and smoke, please stretch your muscles and bones. Hurry up."

After another battle, the bus had to enter the danger zone.

The Traveling Group looked at each other, not daring to move.

Tu Tri stood up and said, "I'm going down to get some fresh air."

After entering the danger zone, it was not until 9pm when we entered the hotel that we could get off the bus. This time was too long.

Ly Kieu stopped the car, opened the door, Tu Tri took the lead and got out. Then Chu Ha carried Professor Lam, Vuong Cuong, Ly Dinh Dinh, and Ly Kieu also followed together.

Getting off the bus in the safe zone is no problem, just don't go back the way you came.

The Traveling Group's people hesitated again. Especially those who had seen with their own eyes the bloodstained men in suits.

"We trust them." Finally, a series of old couples woke up and helped each other out of the car.

Fatty aunt, Mediterranean couple glanced at each other, also followed to get out of the car.

Under their lead, the rest of the people basically followed and got off the car. Either they went to find a hiding place to relieve themselves, or they stretched their muscles after sitting all night.

Only a family of three sat there motionless.

*

"Honey, are we really not going down?" The wife asked her husband.

The husband pushed the golden thread glasses, "These people are stupid, you follow the stupid, if you are not even a little bit thirsty, why go down now? Pull hard? Is it fun to poop and pee in the wild?"

"That is——" the wife frowned, "You saw the bloodstains just now, perhaps there really is some mysterious and terrifying thing in this Tai Ling. If we don't follow their rules..."

"Women are ignorant!" The husband glanced coldly at his wife, "You believe in this kind of shitty rule. There are also blood stains, that man just now was definitely taken by a wild animal, he got out of the carriage alone, there just happened to be wild animals nearby, it was normal for him to encounter an accident. After all, this place is deep in the mountains and wilderness, there are basically no supernatural powers."

The wife still wanted to say something, but looking at her husband's hateful eyes, she finally smiled bitterly. Their sons looked at their father, then looked at their mother, then lowered their heads.

Not long after, the people who got off the car returned to the car. At this moment, the driver had changed to Wang Gang, and Li Jiao sat back in Wang Gang's seat.

Wang Gang started the car and stepped on the gas pedal, and the bus started again.

A few minutes later, Tu Tri saw from the right side of the car window in front of a mountain peak, neatly arranged with eight peach trees.

"This is the danger zone entry criteria, eight peach trees." Zhou He bent down and walked in front of Xu Zhi and explained in a low voice, "Mr. 25 calculated the scope of the Viet Linh Thi's pollution activities based on theory and practice, and determined the danger zone. Once entering the danger zone, not only will the frequency of low-level ghosts appearing increase, but Viet Linh Thi may also appear. Of course, we, the Drunken Master, are not without countermeasures, such as the ground——"

Tu Tri looked carefully, in the safe zone ahead, the highway ground was the usual asphalt road, but at this moment the highway under their feet was emitting a faint golden light.

"Joining the [Apricot Light Disgust Seed], a kind of substance that makes ghosts hate and not want to approach. Catching it in a demon hunting bar can sell for a lot of money." Zhou He said, "This kind of substance can drive away a lot of low-level ghosts, but it is ineffective against high-level ghosts. Moreover, under the Blood Moon at night, it will also lose some of its effectiveness."

Very quickly, the car passed eight peach trees. Entered the danger zone.

Chu Ha regained his composure, still not moving, looking forward.

Tu Tri was very relaxed, observing the scenery outside the window. As the important mountain range in Xia country, Tai Ling's scenery was truly beautiful, with mountains on top of each other, majestic peaks, diverse flora, red maple trees, green yellow leaves, nameless wild flowers between the mountain gates, and sometimes suddenly appearing clear streams and rivers.

If only this world didn't have demons.

Tu Tri looked at the scenery for a while, then picked up the rules and Viet Linh Thi file to consider again.

Read this letter a hundred times and its meaning will appear.

Tu Tri believes that she only needs to analyze these two documents a few times, and she will definitely be able to find the key to survival in them.

On one side, Professor Lam looked at Tu Tri with deep eyes. Her pupils were deep green, like green gemstones, pure and mysterious.

While Tu Tri was looking at the information, Chu Ha, Ly Kieu, and Ly Dinh Dinh were vigilantly guarding Professor Lam's side, while also paying attention to every move outside the window. Vuong Cuong was concentrating on driving.

As for those Traveling Group people, they also guessed from the "Tailing Pass Travel Rule Map", the Dou Xiao District is a more dangerous place. Everyone was very scared, some people looked at the rule "2. You can open the window to ventilate, but you must remember that you are in the car, there will be no one outside the window to chat with you. If you discover that there are people outside the window, please remember, this must be your fatigue causing hallucinations. Please close your eyes and rest immediately", resolutely closed the curtain, closed your eyes and slept.

There are also people who are extremely nervous, eating and drinking a lot.

After all, it was past 3pm, and some people really couldn't hold it in.

"I think I'm going to the toilet." A fat boy stood up and said. The bloodstains left behind by the suit-clad man kept flashing through his mind. In order to not think about this terrifying scene, he desperately ate and drank.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think so either." He said embarrassedly, "This is my first time riding in such a big car, I have no experience."

Fatty little fire later, some people said they also wanted to go to the toilet.

Chu Ha sighed tiredly, "Then you guys pay attention, once you find a toilet on the roadside, immediately tell us."

If you really can't hold it in, you can deal with it in the car. She thought about it and still swallowed these words back.

Fatty Xiaohu and a few others nodded gratefully, then stood guard by the window, running like the wind through the rocky mountains and forests on both sides of the road, looking for a toilet.

Perhaps they were lucky. A few minutes later, a toilet appeared about 50 meters ahead of the bus.

"I saw the WC!" Fatty said excitedly. Chu Ha nodded, it was indeed the WC, she saw it too.

"Mr. Hai Tru, have you seen it yet?" She asked Tu Tri.

Tu Tri said yes, there really is a toilet.

Chu Ha asked Ly Kieu to ask the people in front of the cards, and then asked Ly Dinh Dinh to ask the people behind the cards.

The response was, everyone saw the WC, and almost agreed with the description of the WC's appearance.

It's a real WC! Chu Ha breathed a sigh of relief, making Wang Gang stop the car, "You guys hurry up!"

Fatty Xiaohu and the others with small intestines quickly ran towards the car. The others on the car saw this and hurriedly followed. After all, there were still seven or eight hours to reach the hotel. If they missed this toilet, they wouldn't know where they would be next.

Moreover, this time there are more people, so it feels safer.

"What is WC?" Tu Tri asked.

Chu Ha: "There have always been some toilets along the roads of Tai Ling. When Tai Ling was still very peaceful, these toilets were not dangerous. But since Viet Linh Thi started causing trouble, toilets created by human and ghost power appeared on the roads. Once one enters this fake toilet, it will disappear on the spot, and one will never be able to get out."

"After fighting with Viet Linh Thi many times, we have concluded that if it is a real WC, then everyone in the car can see it. If it is a ghostly WC, then there will always be people who cannot see it."

"It seems that although the ghost is powerful and cunning, it has also been subject to some restrictions." Tu Tri exclaimed.

While they were talking, they suddenly heard Ly Dinh Dinh in the back holding her stomach and screaming in pain, and hurriedly ran out of the car.

No one noticed that there was a family of three in the back row of the bus.

"Husband, aren't we going down?" The wife asked. Although she followed her husband's request and only ate a little bit of food and drank a few sips of water, she still felt a little unable to hold it in.

"Get down? You also want to pee and poop in the open?" Her husband looked at her sarcastically.

"Aren't they going to the toilet? How is that considered open air?" The wife was even more confused. She saw these people go into the toilet with her own eyes.

"Where to go to the toilet?" The sarcasm in her husband's eyes grew even more intense. Through the car window, he saw these people walking back and forth in a pile of rocks. He was waiting for these people to do something indecent under the light of the sky.

"Isn't that the toilet? That room's door has white walls and smelly tiles." The wife's eyes became even more frightened. She pointed at her husband and trembled, "Just now, when that girl came to ask us, didn't you say you saw it too?"

"I saw that bunch of idiots were sure there was a toilet, of course they said so." The husband thought back to the scene just now and found it extremely funny. But very quickly, he saw his wife was so scared that she was about to cry, and finally realized that the situation was not right.

"Could it be, you really saw the toilet?" he asked.

The wife nodded, the son also nodded.

The husband opened his mouth wide and turned his head towards the window.

Only to see, a moment ago still walking back and forth in the chaos of rocks, all of the people at this moment disappeared on the spot, without a trace.

"They must have hidden or fallen off the cliff." His face turned pale as he muttered.

At the same time, a row of Red Characters suddenly appeared before Tu Tri's eyes.

[Infuse your spiritual power into your eyes, look towards that WC door, and you will be able to discover the mystery.]

At this moment, there were a few people discussing and preparing to get off the car to go to the toilet. They had just arrived at the car door and were about to step down the stairs.

"Stop!" Tu Tri shouted loudly, stopping them.

"Can't go down again." Tu Tri tried his best to make his tone sound calm, "That toilet door is fake."

"Someone is lying!
