Chapter 292: 291. Ghost Flight_1 Chapter 292: 291. Ghost Flight_1 “What’s on the plane?”

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

At this moment, they were high in the sky, at an altitude of ten thousand meters; any accident would mean trouble for everyone on board the plane.

“Look.”

Feng Yu directly opened the partition door for Lu Ban, letting him look outside.

Lu Ban looked out and at first glance, it seemed like nothing had changed, but he quickly realized something.

It was too quiet.

Even in first class, there should be flight attendants back and forth attending to the guests, and moreover, the entire plane seemed quite old, not at all as new as the one Lu Ban had seen before.

“A peculiar phenomenon?”

Lu Ban quickly reacted.

Peculiar phenomena existed in this world as a kind of supernatural occurrence, unpredictable, and could appear anywhere at any time. Typically, a peculiar phenomenon would be the materialization of a certain scene, having its own rules. If one could grasp the rules of the peculiar, they could avoid its harm to some extent. If they could break the rules and accomplish certain tasks, they could make the peculiar leave.

Last time, Lu Ban and Feng Yu ended up at the Horror Cinema. As long as they complied with the cinema’s rules and watched horror films that impacted reality until daytime, they could break free.

So this time…

Lu Ban stood up and went to the first-class flight attendants’ rest compartment, and also looked at the other passengers’ cabins, to find that not a person was left.

The interior of the plane had become old and carried a sense of an era, just as if it were a flight from the seventies or eighties of the last century.

“I’ll go check the economy class.”

He then moved to the densely seated economy class, which was equally empty, with some stains on the seats that made one feel nauseous.

“Everyone on the plane has disappeared, I wonder if the pilot is still here.”

Feng Yu also checked the restroom.

“Even without a pilot, the autopilot can maintain for a while, but now we need to find the rules that control this peculiar plane.”

Lu Ban approached a seat and took a close look at the stains.

The color was deep, as if it was caused by the splashing of some liquid….

“Blood?”

Lu Ban naturally thought of bloodstains.

In fact, there were mottled marks on the walls and in the corners of this entire flight, as if there had been a massacre that was cleaned afterward but could never be completely washed away.

“Is the source of this peculiar an airplane that encountered an accident?”

He looked at Feng Yu.

Encountering a peculiar was frightening, but it wasn’t so worrying when Feng Yu was around; she had a wealth of knowledge that could resolve dangers.

“Possibly, now we need to figure out its rules and the conditions to make it disappear.”

Feng Yu spoke calmly, like a mother instructing her child on homework.

“Firstly, most peculiars cannot exist permanently in one place; they will inevitably move with the passage of time, so we can roughly guess that as long as we can safely ride this plane to the destination, we can break free from the peculiar’s constraints.”

Feng Yu opened the overhead bin above the seat, which was empty.

She walked forward, checking the bins one by one.

“Secondly, the peculiar will not let us complete the journey safely without incident; it’s bound to produce something to disturb us.”

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

Above the seat, inside the luggage compartment, there was a lump of meat.

Unlike the fresh meat from a slaughterhouse, it resembled some kind of creature that had been skinned. One could clearly see the texture of the muscle and the hidden blood vessels underneath. The blood flowing within these vessels was black, and the entire mass of meat quivered slightly as if it were breathing, or perhaps it was a worm simply acting on instinct.

Lu Ban’s “True Sight” allowed him to see that within the meat lump, there were eyes.

Not just a single eye, but a myriad of eyes, densely packed like the surface of a pineapple.

These eyes were located inside the meat lump, and the moment the door of the luggage compartment opened, stimulated by the outside, they all opened at once.

In an instant, the meat began to flow.

That’s right, it flowed.

The meat lump softened like dough that had too much water added to it. The eyes meandered through the gaps in the flesh as the mass of meat flowed down from the suitcase, causing Feng Yu to take a step back.

Splat—

Splat—

Splat—

The chunks of flesh dropped to the ground, gradually forming a new meat mass.

Lu Ban found that the meat pouring out of the suitcase seemed endless, as if it would never stop flowing.

Thump—

Another suitcase made a thudding noise. Before Lu Ban and Feng Yu could react, that door was also forced open, and more meat poured out like water intending to fill the cabin.

Without a word, Lu Ban conjured “Testament” in his hand and fired a Speech Bullet at the mass of meat.

The great existence’s whispers spread from within those chunks of flesh, a mad, fragmented, and twisted chant that was unexpectedly melodious.

Lu Ban saw that unlike other creatures, the pieces of meat were not tormented or affected by the whispers; their movements paused momentarily but soon became active again.

Moreover, they were more active than before.

Like fanatics who had finally heard the oracle of their god, the flesh and blood flowing from the suitcase became like a torrent, swiftly covering the last row and surging towards Lu Ban and Feng Yu.

“These creatures aren’t afraid of the whispers?”

Most of the creatures Lu Ban had seen, whether alive or dead, would go mad, become distorted and uncontrollable due to the great existence’s whispers, ultimately being polluted and corroded into monsters, losing all ability to resist.

A few would become even more excited by the presence of the great whispers, plunging into an even more severe madness that led to the destruction of their selves.

But the chunks of meat on this plane seemed unaffected by the great existence’s whispers. To them, the whispers were as pleasing as a hymn, rather capable of arousing their fighting spirit.

Squish—

Among the flesh on the ground, countless eyes turned towards Lu Ban, filled with emotions of hatred, anger, sadness, disdain, and pity, as if depicting the plight of toiling creatures. The flood of meat surged towards Lu Ban, who immediately switched Speech Bullets and opened fire on the foe.

Bang—

The oncoming mass suddenly seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, hitting an invisible barrier head-on and scattering all around. The exposed eyes in the air were smashed into a mess by the impact, while others fell to the ground, trembling, trying to return to the embrace of the flesh.

Lu Ban had chosen to use the Speech Bullet to hit the front mass of flesh, causing it to move rapidly backward, and as a result of their collision, that impact was triggered.

But more flesh kept flowing, gradually filling Lu Ban’s entire field of vision and obscuring Feng Yu’s silhouette.

Finally, there were no other sounds in the space around Lu Ban.

Only the thick flesh and countless eyes, quietly watching him.
