You bastards, if you want to drag me in, burn you all first."
Jiang Qiao looked at these inhuman and ghostly things with an icy expression. He knew very well that these things were not the real deal.
But it's okay.
No matter what you are, just burn it to the ground first.
The next moment.
A green flame appeared in Jiang Qiao's hand.
The flames expanded rapidly, instantly turning the surrounding area a fiery red. Even the lingering eerie winds subsided considerably.
However, Jiang Qiao did not feel any heat.
"White Bone Fire" is a cold, yin fire that feels icy to the touch, but even a tiny spark can burn through your skin and flesh to your bones, eventually turning you into a pool of ashes.
As the flames grew larger, the nearby wall of corpses was the first to be affected.
Flames emerged from the corpses, scattered here and there, growing larger and larger.
Finally, when all the flames merged into one.
"Boom!"
A raging fire suddenly broke out.
The aura of Yin Fire swept through the entire supernatural space, forcing those standing in front, reaching out to grab Jiang Qiao's corpse again, to retreat.
It seems they are powerless against such supernatural forces.
After all, "Bone Fire" is to them what a raging inferno is to humans—utterly insurmountable.
"Let's see where you can retreat to."
Jiang Qiao stood amidst the raging flames, his face cold as he looked at the retreating corpses.
He didn't chase after them, but instead directed the flames to spread into the dark space.
However.
The flame had just entered the dark space and extended less than five or six meters inward when it suddenly stopped and lost all its light.
Without any supernatural events, the flames went out on their own!
Jiang Qiao gave a cold laugh.
If I'm not mistaken, this dark space must be a ghost town.
The flames did not go out; instead, they traveled along the corpse into another supernatural space.
And every ghost realm has a source.
He wasn't in a hurry.
Silently standing still, waiting for the outcome.
The surrounding flames grew larger and larger, and thick smoke billowed out.
Every now and then, figures would run through the firelight, leaving charred footprints on the ground and emitting chilling screams.
But soon, these figures fell to the ground and became motionless.
"This fire, fueled by the burning corpses, probably already possesses the power of a fifth-order fire."
Originally, his "White Bone Fire" was only at the fourth level.
However, it has one characteristic: it can become increasingly powerful with the help of fuel, and it is not impossible for it to even go from the fourth to the sixth order.
The prerequisite is that there needs to be enough supernatural material and time.
"The vengeful spirits that originate in this dark space are either not awakened or restricted in some way, or they are afraid of the flames and dare not show themselves."
At this moment, streaks of lightning began to gather around Jiang Qiao's body.
These bolts of lightning merged and intertwined, forming a thick electric whip.
He peered warily into the darkness, ready to strike at any moment.
"If we can stay here until the next time period, it might not be a bad thing."
Jiang Qiao stood there silently.
Time passed second by second.
The flames behind them were still burning, but they had begun to gradually diminish.
Ultimately, these corpses were merely tainted with supernatural energy; they were not vengeful ghosts themselves, so they were not resistant to burning.
Some of the corpses behind Jiang Qiao had completely turned into black ash.
However, at this very moment...
A bizarre corpse, located in the very center of the morgue and buried at the very bottom, suddenly opened its eyes. Then, its previously decaying body began to slowly transform.
Unseen black threads were peeled off from the other burning corpses and wrapped around the eerie body.
They are like strands of yarn, interwoven together to form flesh and skin, gradually turning a severely decomposed corpse into a fresh one.
Its face even had a slight rosy tinge, as if it had just died.
soon.
It raised its hand and slowly pried open the burning corpse on its body.
⒏Bσок. com
The terrifying green flames left sparks on its body, but they burned very slowly.
"There's movement!"
Jiang Qiao's ears twitched, and he immediately noticed the unusual situation in the flames, and turned around abruptly.
But the next second...
A pile of corpses, burned to the point of being half-burnt, hurtled towards him!
"A paranormal attack."
The thought flashed through Jiang Qiao's mind, and he immediately dodged to the side, avoiding direct contact with the corpse.
He looked up in the direction the corpse had come from, but saw nothing.
But a sense of dread began to creep into his heart.
"There was something buried in the middle of the body, and it seems to have woken up now."
Suddenly, Jiang Qiao felt something above his head.
He suddenly looked up.
From the darkness above, a corpse with its limbs twisted backwards suddenly fell, crashing straight down on him!
Jiang Qiao swiftly lashed out with his lightning whip!
Boom!
With an explosion, the corpse was sent flying.
But Jiang Qiao felt a chill run down his spine. In an instant, a pale hand gripped his neck!
This hand is incredibly strong.
Jiang Qiao's neck made a cracking sound.
However, a smile appeared on his face.
"Boom!"
A thunderclap exploded.
Jiang Qiao's whip instantly wrapped around his body several times, completely binding the strange thing behind him to himself!
"Got you!"
A ruthless glint appeared on his face.
Instantly, flames erupted from his body, engulfing him and the vengeful ghost behind him.
"ah--"
A sharp, venomous scream rang out from behind, followed by a violent struggle that nearly snapped the lightning whip in two.
"You might as well obediently join me in self-immolation."
Amidst the raging flames, Jiang Qiao's neck was contorted in an extreme way, yet he wore a cold, mocking smile.
He gripped the lightning whip with both hands, continuously replenishing and enhancing it with currents.
Not only that.
Sealing talismans appeared all around him!
These talismans, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, instantly enveloped Jiang Qiao and the vengeful ghost behind him.
Take your time, don't rush.
"Today, I am your personal incinerator!"
As the vengeful ghost struggled, cracking sounds came from Jiang Qiao's body.
This is the sound of bones shattering under the impact of a vengeful ghost!
The intense pain contorted his expression, but his eyes were filled with madness.
Being ruthless to yourself is the true mark of ruthlessness!
Soon, under Jiang Qiao's suicidal attack, streaks of black ash fell to the ground behind him.
The vengeful ghost's struggles gradually became powerless.
final.
As Jiang Qiao's body twisted into a pretzel shape, the ghost's hands fell limply to its sides.
"Heh, nothing special."
The next second.
Jiang Qiao's body, which had been in a terrible state, has returned to normal.
"Oh, they even drop equipment?"
Jiang Qiao turned around and looked at the charcoal marks on the ground, somewhat surprised.
because.
There was a pale finger bone inside!
at the same time.
He also saw a familiar figure lying in a pile of ashes not far away.
8BOok·com

Jiang Qiao first picked up the finger bone from the ground.
This should be the middle finger bone, with a small hole on it. One end has been sealed with yellow mud.
It looks like a whistle made of bone.
After playing with it for a while, Jiang Qiao put it away, planning to study it when he had time.
He glanced behind him.
The main culprit in the darkness still hadn't appeared; only the outlines of some figures could be vaguely seen standing not far away.
"Fine, if you're not going to come out, then so be it."
He shook his head, went to the pile of ashes, and pulled up Liu Yuanyuan, who was already unconscious.
Slap! Slap!
Liu Yuanyuan did not wake up after being slapped twice.
"That's strange, he's clearly still alive."
Jiang Qiao checked her breathing and then touched her chest; everything was normal, and she was strong and healthy.
He's more like a living person than a real person!
But he has been in a coma. Could it be that there is something wrong with his consciousness?
Jiang Qiao pondered carefully and examined her body thoroughly. Finally, he found a small red dot on her tailbone with a tiny bit of needle sticking out!
That's very interesting.
This was the first time he had ever seen acupuncture performed in this location, and he didn't know what its purpose was.
Judging from the appearance, it is highly likely that Liu Yuanyuan did it herself.
The vengeful ghost has no interest in playing acupuncture with you!
"It appears to have disrupted the flow of Qi and blood in the body."
Jiang Qiao, after all, possesses the talent of a "mad scientist".
After observing for a while, they quickly discovered the purpose of the needle.
It was stuck at a crucial point in the flow of Qi and blood, not only stopping its own Qi and blood, but also seemingly cutting off supernatural power.
However, Liu Yuanyuan still had a slow flow of vital energy within her. And this vital energy actually came from something strange!
"Incredible methods."
Jiang Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
Although both qi and blood are called qi and blood, the mysterious qi and blood of humans have many differences.
The biggest point is...
The two are not the same in terms of freshness!
The strange qi and blood carried a sense of old age and despondency, like the twilight of the setting sun.
Human beings themselves possess youthful energy and vitality, boundless life force, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, full of hope.
However, they have one thing in common—they can sustain human life!
"She cut off her own vital energy and used strange vital energy to sustain her life. In essence, she was disguising herself as strange to minimize the possibility of being attacked by the supernatural."
"Although the mysterious and the vengeful are enemies, it is often the mysterious that attacks the vengeful first."
"The chances of a vengeful ghost attacking a ghost are very small, at least smaller than if it were to attack a human."
Jiang Qiao squinted, his mind flashing back to the supernatural events he had experienced in the past.
"Liu Yuanyuan cut off the ghostly energy to prevent the monster from awakening. After all, the monster's life force is limited, and if it is used to maintain its life, it will inevitably be unable to suppress the ghostly energy, leading to the monster's awakening."
"The strange entity that awakens will regain its balance, but it will also take over the body."
Jiang Qiao had to admire this woman's methods.
This kind of precise needle insertion is beyond the reach of most people; one wrong move and you could end up paralyzed on one side.
Moreover, even if you manage to pierce it, there is a high chance that it will be replaced by the awakened monster!
Because this in itself can easily disrupt the balance of the supernatural.
A classic case of tightrope walking!
"So, what method does she plan to use to awaken herself?"
Jiang Qiao then thought of the next question.
It's not difficult to fall into a deep sleep, but how do you wake up once you've fallen into a coma?
If he doesn't wake up, then all of this is nonsense.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Qiao lowered his hand, which was about to remove the needle, and sat down next to her, ready to observe Liu Yuanyuan's next move.
This also helped me to better understand her.
"Tick-tock"
8ьООk. COM
"Tick-tock"
"Tick-tock"
Jiang Qiao sat quietly in the dry ashes, waiting for time to pass and for Liu Yuanyuan to make her next move.
However, the sound of dripping water could always be heard not far away.
A faint smell of blood wafted over.
"It's an old trick from decades ago, and they're still using it."
Jiang Qiao sneered.
He not only heard the sound of dripping blood, but also saw a row of figures sitting directly opposite him in the darkness.
This reminded him of his downstairs neighbor when he was a child.
That aunt's name was Hou Xinjuan, and she had a very eccentric temperament.
After her husband and children passed away one after another, she became even more withdrawn and kept saying that there were ghosts in her house.
She said that as soon as the lights were turned off at night, she could hear people walking in the hallway outside her bedroom.
Occasionally, when I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I can see what appears to be two people sitting on the dark living room sofa.
But when I turned on the light, there was nothing there.
Jiang Qiao was young at the time, and to be honest, he was quite scared.
In particular, the room next to Aunt Hou's was occupied by Jiang Qiao's childhood friend.
His friend told him.
One evening when I came home from school, I saw that the door to the room next door was open.
At first, she thought Aunt Hou had left the door open at home.
I didn't take it seriously.
However, as she entered the house and turned to close her front door, she saw Uncle Hou and his older brother, who had supposedly passed away, flash by in the living room of Aunt Hou's house across the street, seemingly heading towards the kitchen.
The friend was so scared that he quickly closed the door!
It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that she heard the sound of a door opening next door.
Peeking out through the peephole, I noticed that the door to the next room, which had been open, was now closed, and Aunt Hou, who had just returned home, was opening the door!
Ever since hearing his friend's story, Jiang Qiao has felt terrible.
Every time he went downstairs, he would first check at the bottom of the stairs to see if Aunt Hou's door was closed.
Then they rushed downstairs in a frantic, clattering manner.
I will absolutely not stay on that floor!
For a long time, he didn't even want to go to his friends' houses.
...
"I wonder how my friend is doing now."
Jiang Qiao looked somewhat dejected.
After he was in fourth grade, his parents made a fortune in business, and their other houses were successively demolished.
Not only did he transfer to another school, but he also moved into a large villa.
They even built ten more buildings in succession!
But I also lost contact with my friends.
"According to the original story, my friend and I were childhood sweethearts, and maybe our kids are already grown up."
Jiang Qiao sighed.
Later, when he got older, he went back to visit his friends.
Unfortunately, my friend also became a beneficiary of the demolition compensation and has since moved to an unknown location.
In addition, he also gained a new circle of friends.
Gradually, it faded away.
"I will come to see you!"
The image of him waving his hand repeatedly flashed through my mind again.
That summer was very hot, and the sky was very blue.
The two ice creams from the convenience store downstairs became their final farewell.
"It should be called farewell now."
Jiang Qiao glanced at his surroundings and muttered to himself with a hint of self-deprecation.
The supernatural world, Blue Star, Earth.
Isn't this a final farewell?

Time passes.
The eeriness lurking in the darkness never actually appeared.
However, Liu Yuanyuan, who was lying on the ground beside him, began to change.
Jiang Qiao saw drops of blood seeping from the needle at her tailbone and dripping down to the ground.
And each drop of blood pushes the needle outward a little.
"I see."
Jiang Qiao immediately understood what was going on.
I was immediately deeply shocked!
This woman has quite a lot of stuff.
They actually used blood to push the needle out!
That's fucking bad.
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Without high blood pressure of three or four hundred, you probably couldn't do it, right?"
"It's really tough on her that she didn't have a brain hemorrhage."
Jiang Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
He didn't make any move, sitting quietly in place, waiting for things to change.
soon.
Liu Yuanyuan's feet began to sink into a clump of mud at a visible speed, looking as if she had stepped barefoot into cement and then pulled out.
"This mud seems to be some kind of supernatural object."
Jiang Qiao took out a bottle and used his hands to scoop some out and put it in.
The texture in my hand felt like some kind of chopped fat.
It's smooth, slippery, and soft, and doesn't stick to mud at all!
Without a doubt.
Those wrinkled, strange feet were terrifying.
This terror was not only for the enemy, but also for Liu Yuanyuan.
It must have some kind of backlash effect on itself, which is why Liu Yuanyuan used supernatural items to wrap it up.
You're very lucky.
"If it weren't for me, even if you temporarily escaped the attack of the vengeful ghost, you would still have perished."
"You can't stay in this state forever."
"When you wake up, that will be the time of your death."
Jiang Qiao said coldly.
Given the situation just now, Liu Yuanyuan would have been dead the moment she woke up!
Even if he doesn't wake up.
As more and more real evil spirits gather around, sooner or later one of them will discover the anomaly and eventually kill him.
Jiang Qiao cleared away the wall of corpses and drove away the vengeful ghosts in the darkness.
Although he was doing it to protect himself.
But objectively speaking, he did save Liu Yuanyuan's life again.
"This woman seems to have quite a few good things. When she wakes up, we must ask her for money."
Jiang Qiao murmured.
now.
Liu Yuanyuan's body had begun to move; her eyelids trembled slightly, and she could wake up at any moment.
Or perhaps she has already woken up, but hasn't yet broken free from a certain state of her body.
It's like experiencing sleep paralysis while you're sleeping.
He was conscious, but it was very difficult for him to move his body.
And it was at this time.
The figures in the darkness opposite began to multiply.
Densely packed.
Even without using his double pupils or the White Bone Fire for illumination, Jiang Qiao could still barely see their movements.
Everyone stiffly extended their left hand towards him.
It seemed to be inviting him into the darkness, yet also as if it was about to rush out and forcibly drag him in at any moment.
"Come on if you dare."
Jiang Qiao spoke coldly into the darkness.
The group of things in the darkness seemed quite angry after hearing Jiang Qiao's words.
There were constantly moving figures, seemingly intending to leave the darkness.
"hehe."
Jiang Qiao smiled dismissively.
Whether it's a vengeful ghost or a corpse, they don't actually have many emotions.
Some vengeful ghosts, although they possess consciousness, often have very simple emotions.
8book.com
They're either like a lunatic, only capable of laughing and joking, or like a violent madman, only capable of raging and going berserk.
Corpses tainted by supernatural forces have no emotions whatsoever, since they lack even true consciousness.
So the current situation in the darkness is not because these ghostly things are angry.
Rather, something else attracted them.
As for why they couldn't get out, it was because the darkness bound them.
"It seems that the source of darkness is consciousness."
"The fire that just burned in made him realize that these corpses are useless to me."
"But it is unwilling to do it itself."
Is it out of fear?
"Or is something binding it, preventing it from making a move?"
Jiang Qiao squinted, carefully examining the increasing number of corpses.
"Cough cough—"
"Cough cough cough—"
Just then.
A cough came from the side.
The needles in Liu Yuanyuan's coccyx were finally completely expelled from her body.
After struggling for a while, she broke free from some kind of restriction and woke up again.
"You're really amazing, you managed to stick a foot-long needle in like that."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered a few times when he saw the long, gleaming golden needle on the ground.
It's another supernatural item.
He could detect a faint fragrance from the needle.
"This fragrance is not simple."
"It seems to be able to quell supernatural forces."
After observing for a while, Jiang Qiao quickly came to a conclusion, relying on his "mad scientist" talent.
"It's just to survive."
Liu Yuanyuan smiled faintly.
She put on her pants methodically, ignoring Jiang Qiao's gaze.
"It seems you saved my life again."
The surrounding ashes and the menacing ghost opposite her immediately made her understand what was going on.
"How did you suddenly end up buried inside the wall of corpses? If I hadn't burned the body, you probably would have been buried right there."
Jiangqiao Q&A.
He was quite curious; Liu Yuanyuan was right next to him, yet he hadn't noticed anything unusual.
But the person is gone.
That's interesting!
"I was attacked by a ghost."
Liu Yuanyuan frowned as she recalled the situation.
"I felt the wall behind me suddenly disappear. I was about to warn you when a pair of hands pulled me into the darkness."
"I fought back and drove it away, but I was buried by a corpse that fell from the sky."
"I'm pretty sure there are a lot of vengeful ghosts inside. So, since I can't leave, I can only use golden needles to isolate my own blood and qi, hoping to recover after the vengeful ghosts leave."
"but..."
As Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her left hand, revealing her open palm.
"This is..."
Jiang Qiao's eyes narrowed.
He noticed that Liu Yuanyuan had a whistle made of finger bone in her hand, which was very similar to the one he had just picked up.
The only difference is that this finger bone seems to be the little finger bone, while his is the middle finger bone!
"I found this finger bone on the ground after I defeated the evil spirit."
Liu Yuanyuan said.
"Did a vengeful ghost drop it?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"No."
"It was on the ground, and I accidentally stepped on it and then picked it up."
Liu Yuanyuan looked into the darkness beside her.
"This eerie space, apart from that elevator, is probably all fake. The so-called walls are just illusions conjured by ghosts."
"But I'm curious why we were able to break through the wall and get in from the stairwell."
Liu Yuanyuan said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiao's expression also turned serious.
He pondered for a moment.
He said in a somewhat low voice:
"I'm afraid this building wants us to come in!"
8BOOK.COM
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Jiang Qiao and Liu Yuanyuan analyzed the morgue and came to a very surprising guess.
They were able to get into the morgue because the building wanted them in!
Jiang Qiao recalled that when he was in the building on the left, the initial discovery of the morgue came from a corpse embedded in the wall.
At the time, I thought it was some kind of paranormal phenomenon.
Looking back now, the appearance of this body seems rather coincidental.
Moreover, if the wall was formed from ghosts, then it would be impossible for the corpse to crawl out!
Unless, it was deliberately thrown out to lure Jiang Qiao into discovering the morgue.
so.
If this conjecture is correct, then it means that this building possesses self-awareness!
But what's the point?
Jiang Qiao can accept this speculation.
But any arrangement should have a purpose, so what is the purpose of this hidden presence?
Kill him?
Or is there something you want him to do?
This guess is very likely.
After thinking about it, Liu Yuanyuan also agreed with Jiang Qiao's speculation.
"However, it seems a bit strange that the other party went to such great lengths. I think he might be caught in some kind of constraint."
"So, if we follow this line of thought..."
She glanced at the river bridge, then at the silhouettes of the corpses in the darkness.
Jiang Qiao immediately understood her thoughts.
If there is something secretly orchestrating things without revealing itself, then it is planning to guide them to do something.
For example, if it gets caught in some kind of constraint.
Do you want to get out of this predicament?
"You want us to do something to help it get out of trouble?"
Jiang Qiao squinted.
I think this possibility certainly exists.
It is obvious.
The entity behind the scenes that can control the small building must be extremely terrifying; they may not be able to deal with it.
And the supernatural forces that can trouble it are even more beyond their reach.
Logically speaking, they should be unable to help this hidden entity escape its predicament.
However, there are always exceptions.
If the two forces are evenly matched or the difference is very small, then even a third party, however small, can influence the outcome of the contest!
"This vengeful ghost is quite insidious."
Jiang Qiao laughed and cursed, but didn't take it too seriously.
In the supernatural world, anything can happen. Even if you stand still, a hand might reach out from the ground and grab your foot.
It's simply a choice between danger and greater danger.
Just like when we were in the stairwell, if we didn't go into this morgue, we would be caught in the crossfire of two terrifying ghosts, and the situation would be even worse than it is now.
"It's all just speculation, don't worry about it. We'll just wait for time to pass."
Jiang Qiao said to Liu Yuanyuan.
If there really is a vengeful ghost wanting to do something, then it should give some hints or guidance in the future, so there's no need for them to bother.
After all, without any information, speculation is just speculation.
Next.
Jiang Qiao and Liu Yuanyuan sat on the ground, observing the corpse in the darkness.
These things seem to have calmed down a lot.
Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination.
Jiang Qiao sensed that their numbers were slowly decreasing.
"So you just came to go through the motions, make a show of it, and then leave?"
His eyes gleamed as he silently watched the scene unfold before him, awaiting the bizarre scenario that might unfold.
Liu Yuanyuan, who was standing nearby, also noticed the changes in the corpse.
She had already gripped the large cleaver in her hand, ready to strike at any moment!
8BOok.com
"This knife is even stronger than the Ghostly Kitchen Knife."
Jiang Qiao is also an expert with knives. He has wielded the sixth-tier weapon, the Fiendish Kitchen Knife, for a long time and has a deep understanding of offensive supernatural weapons.
The most powerful aspect of the evil spirit cleaver is its sharpness, capable of cutting through anything, and the corrosive effect of the rust curse on its blade.
This is a common paranormal combination and is not strange in itself.
But Liu Yuanyuan's knife gave him an even more sinister and eerie aura. In a daze, he seemed to see countless wronged souls dancing around the knife.
Some of these wronged souls were incomplete, missing limbs, or even only half a head.
Some, though physically intact, have vacant eyes and seem to lack consciousness; dancing is merely a mechanical instinct.
One of the monsters looked like it was wearing a leather jacket with blue fur, but there was no body underneath.
There was only emptiness and void.
This emptiness and void is much like the vision of a blind person.
When you close both eyes and then open one eye, the vision of your other eye is this emptiness and void.
However, when Jiang Qiao looked closely, all of this had disappeared.
The knife was still the same knife, a very ordinary broadsword, almost the same as the broadsword used to cut off Japanese soldiers' heads.
"Something's not right with this supernatural object."
"Especially the hairy monster that appeared at the end, it looked rather eerie and ominous."
Jiang Qiao, with these thoughts in mind, directly asked Liu Yuanyuan.
"Miss Liu, this knife of yours is quite peculiar. Where did you find it?"
"This knife," Liu Yuanyuan said, picking up the large knife in her hand and gently stroking it.
"It was left to me by my parents."
After saying that, she suddenly laughed:
"You must have seen those phantoms."
Jiang Qiao nodded immediately, and said with curiosity:
"I can guess that those shadows are the vengeful ghosts that this knife once killed."
"I'm not particularly interested in other vengeful ghosts."
"But do you know what that thing with blue fur is?"
Upon hearing Jiang Qiao's question, Liu Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment.
"You're right. Those are all vengeful ghosts that have been slain, and they are all extremely terrifying, otherwise they wouldn't be able to form phantom images."
"The most terrifying of these ghosts even wiped out an ancient village."
Liu Yuanyuan spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Your parents are that powerful?"
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He already had a general understanding of what an ancient village was.
The top 50.
There is a high possibility that a seventh-level powerhouse is in charge of it!
However, this ancient village was actually destroyed by a vengeful ghost.
The vengeful ghost that had destroyed the ancient village was also killed by this knife.
What level of skill did the person wield the knife possess?
You've misunderstood.
Liu Yuanyuan chuckled softly.
"I don't know how strong my parents are, but they are definitely not strong enough to suppress a ghost of this level."
"This knife was actually found in the ruins of that ancient village that was destroyed. It must have been the previous owner who perished together with that vengeful ghost."
"My parents risked their lives to retrieve it."
Liu Yuanyuan's tone was somewhat wistful.
"Is the vengeful ghost that destroyed the ancient village the same hairy monster?" Jiang Qiao continued to ask.
No, that's not true.
Liu Yuanyuan denied it.
"I don't know what the blue hairy monster you mentioned is. My parents also keep it a secret."
"They simply told me their names."
"Mountain ghost!"
⑧BОOK． Сοм

Mountain ghost?"
Jiang Qiao was started when he heard the name.
The conversation I had with the local earth god a few days ago immediately came to mind.
The other party told him that the earliest ghosts were monsters that came out of mountain caves, called "mountain ghosts"!
This ghost was unlike any other malevolent spirit or strange creature encountered later.
"That's right, the mountain spirit."
Liu Yuanyuan nodded.
"They told me that if I encountered something like this, I should leave immediately and never fight it."
"I suspect it's a very terrifying vengeful ghost."
"But unfortunately, my parents are unwilling to say more, and in the two years I've spent in the paranormal world, I haven't found any information about mountain spirits."
"No one has even heard of this term."
Liu Yuanyuan looked somewhat confused as she spoke.
Although she had never met any real people from the ancient village, the one from Village No. 49 was at least a descendant of the ancient village.
However, the other party had also never heard of this monster.
How did her parents find out in the first place?
"Your knife looks very useful."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered a few times as he looked at the large knife in Liu Yuanyuan's hand and tentatively asked.
He was very interested in the knife.
Liu Yuanyuan shook her head and said seriously:
"After we get out, we can add each other as system friends, and I'll give you a very special item."
"But this knife is a memento from my parents, and it's connected to the mystery of their disappearance."
So I can't give it to you.
"Oh?" Jiang Qiao asked curiously.
What are you planning to give me?
This girl might really be a supernatural version of a rich woman, possessing all sorts of good things, making Jiang Qiao feel that she could be a long-term target for exploitation.
"A cursed mirror that can project one's own image."
Liu Yuanyuan didn't hide anything and answered directly.
She was probably worried that Jiang Qiao would take a liking to her knife and forcibly take it away.
With her strength, she couldn't stop Jiang Qiao.
Now, with the area sealed off by supernatural forces on all sides, there's no way to escape.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do something like murder and robbery."
Jiang Qiao said calmly.
He did have that thought in his mind.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that Liu Yuanyuan had value, and that both the supernatural items she possessed and the information she had would be of great help to him.
Moreover, this woman did not carry all her belongings with her.
Even if you kill them, you can't lift many items.
It's better to befriend her for now; you never know when it might come in handy.
He knew that Liu Yuanyuan had the same mindset.
I want to take advantage of some opportunities to establish contact with him and then get him to join me in exploring the mystery!
What does "projection clone" mean?
Jiang Qiao asked.
"As the name suggests, it can create a clone of you that you can control and that possesses 70% of your power."
Liu Yuanyuan said.
"hiss--"
Jiang Qiao gasped.
This woman is indeed wealthy.
He's almost ready to give up trying!
However, he remained calm and asked slowly:
"You say it's cursed, so what's the price of using it?"
A clone with 70% of the power—that's no joke.
With Jiang Qiao's current strength, even his clones could possess the combat power of a peak fifth-tier being!
Liu Yuanyuan gave away this supernatural item with ease.
Is she doing charity work?
"If you use it too much, your clone will gradually develop self-awareness."
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly.
Jiang Qiao paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
Suddenly, silence fell.
After that, neither of them discussed the topic again.
...
Several hours have passed.
Liu Yuanyuan estimated that three time periods should have passed.
"I have a feeling that the time before dawn is approaching."
She turned to look at the river bridge.
At this moment, Jiang Qiao was dozing off with his eyes half-closed.
The figures in the darkness had all vanished.
The so-called mastermind behind it all never appeared. They didn't even encounter any supernatural attacks.
This struck him as very unusual.
"If they eventually leave safely, then we need to re-examine the problems with this building."
(8) BOOK.com
He squeezed the two bone whistles in his pocket.
One was obtained after he killed the vengeful ghost, and the other was found by Liu Yuanyuan in the darkness.
"Could these two items be the key?"
"Perhaps it just wants me to take the two bone whistles out with me."
Jiang Qiao wanted to take it out and study it, but felt it was somewhat inappropriate.
The most important thing now is to leave, not to create unnecessary trouble.
"We'll talk about it after we get out."
Silently putting the whistle back into his pocket, Jiang Qiao began to examine the ashes on the ground.
He filled a large vat with it, intending to take it with him.
...
It's just before dawn.
Jiang Qiao watched as the surrounding darkness slowly receded, turning back into walls.
All traces of the battle, including the thick layer of ashes that had been spread on the ground, had vanished.
The entire morgue is now empty, except for Jiang Qiao and his companion, and an old elevator.
"This elevator was never in operation from beginning to end."
Jiang Qiao took one last look.
Earlier, in the small building on the left, he saw the elevator open and there was a strange figure inside.
Finally, the elevator descended directly to the eighteenth basement level!
The so-called eighteenth floor below ground should be what Liu Yuanyuan refers to as the deeper world.
However, Jiang Qiao no longer intends to explore it.
He rushed into the building to escape the blood-clad female ghost.
Because of the vengeful ghost coming down from upstairs, they could only break through the wall and escape into the morgue.
In the end, they didn't gain anything, only finding two finger bone whistles of unknown use.
It's a complete waste of time!
"The only consolation is that another day has passed."
"Tomorrow will be the seventh day."
"and..."
He glanced at Liu Yuanyuan beside him.
Even without Li Xin and the others, he could leave with Liu Yuanyuan now.
This is good news.
After all, once they entered the small building, Li Xin and his two companions outside were likely in grave danger.
"Alright, let's go."
Jiang Qiao was the first to arrive at the wall leading to the corridor.
"We don't know what's going on outside, or whether the vengeful ghost has left."
"So get ready for battle."
He raised his fist with a somewhat serious expression.
Logically, after most of the day has passed, the blood-clad ghost should have already left.
But these things are hard to explain.
But he couldn't stay in the morgue forever.
Although they didn't encounter any danger during the rest of the day, aside from the initial fight, they didn't face any further danger.
But this doesn't mean everything is fine.
He remembered very clearly that when Liu Yuanyuan was taken away, he was right next to her and didn't notice anything unusual at all!
"Boom!"
A loud bang.
The orange light from the stairwell lamps shone into the morgue.
This made Liu Yuanyuan, who was already used to the darkness, squint her eyes slightly.
"I'll do it!"
She said something.
In an instant, two eerie figures split off from her body, quickly left the cave entrance, and disappeared into the stairwell.
"Everything is normal outside."
After a while, Liu Yuanyuan spoke.
Jiang Qiao nodded, stepped through the opening, and walked out.

Jiang Qiao nodded, stepped through the opening, and walked out.
...
I walked all the way from the third floor to the first floor.
Then, we left the small building.
Jiang Qiao and Liu Yuanyuan did not encounter any more attacks from the vengeful ghosts.
But.
When they arrived at the open space, they both frowned.
"Someone has been here."
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly.
She picked up a small wooden stick from the ground. It was only three inches long and had a fishy smell.
"Not a vengeful ghost?"
Jiang Qiao keenly noticed that Liu Yuanyuan mentioned "people" rather than ghosts.
"Not a vengeful ghost."
"I've seen this stick before. It's a consumable supernatural item belonging to an organization called the New Humans."
Liu Yuanyuan said.
"A new kind of human?"
Jiang Qiao immediately narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Qiao never expected to hear the term "new human" here.
He knows this thing extremely well!
This is an organization composed of evolved beings, with branches in both the real world and the supernatural world.
The real-world leader is named Wu Difeng, and his father is the founder of the organization!
This organization once carried out the horrific "Artificial Evolution Project" in Haicheng, using living people for experiments and forcibly transforming them into evolved beings, causing a large number of ordinary people to die in agony.
Jiang Qiao learned this secret from the simulator, then destroyed the basement laboratory in the real world, ultimately leading to the government's crackdown on the "New Humans".
The two sides were sworn enemies.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qiao failed to eliminate the threat completely. Wu Difeng, the leader of the new humans, and two fifth-tier peak elders all disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, the eerie white bone tree did not appear during the operation to exterminate the "new humans," and watched as the entire upper echelon was wiped out.
"I encountered a red and white 'collision demon' on the highway before, and it turned out that it was carrying a photo of Wu Difeng."
"Now, traces of new human activity have appeared in this village."
Jiang Qiao looked at Liu Yuanyuan and asked in a deep voice:
Are you sure you're a new human?
Liu Yuanyuan nodded firmly and said:
"Even if they are not new humans, they must be evolved beings related to new humans."
"This wooden stick is a special supernatural item. There are not many of them, and only evolved beings can use it."
"Its creators are none other than the New Humans."
"Coincidentally, the new humans are also one of the largest evolutionary alliances in the supernatural world."
Therefore, they are the most likely candidates.
Jiang Qiao took the small wooden stick and found that apart from the burn marks and faint eerie aura, there was nothing special about it.
"How do you use this item? How powerful is it?" he asked.
Even with his "Frankenstein's monster" talent, he couldn't discern the specific data for items whose supernatural power had been exhausted.
"It's powered by the blood of an evolved being. However, there are already burn marks on this wooden stick, so it has obviously been used before."
"Its effect is similar to that of a bullet; it can penetrate the body of an Awakened or Evolved being."
"Ordinary bullets are no threat to high-level Awakened Ones, but this wooden stick can kill at least a third-level Awakened One. It's extremely dangerous."
Liu Yuanyuan said.
"That's amazing?"
Jiang Qiao's gaze sharpened slightly.
Third-tier awakened individuals are not as common as cabbages.
In some ordinary villages, they even play the role of the backbone.
For example, in the area where Village 404 is located, there are only four villages in total, and there is only one fourth-tier village on the surface.
The strongest of the rest are only at the peak of the third tier!
But now Liu Yuanyuan told him that such a wooden stick could kill a third-level expert, which surprised him.
Are there such craftsmen among the new generation?
"Yes, and it has no side effects. Apart from the low yield, it's basically flawless."
Liu Yuanyuan nodded very firmly.
"It is precisely because they possess various supernatural items that their efforts to suppress the new humans have almost never been successful."
"However, I heard some news from some sources some time ago."
"They say the New Humans' base in the real world was destroyed, and the passage was sealed, preventing them from returning to the real world for the time being."
"For so many years, they have relied on this passage to transport supplies and then trade those supplies with some villages."
"This happened suddenly, and I heard the losses are huge."
As Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she gave Jiang Qiao a strange look.
8bOoK·Сοm
This man seems to have only recently entered the real world.
And judging from his reaction just now, it's clear that he knows about the Newtype organization.
In addition, his strength is so great.
Could the destruction of the "New Humans'" real-world base be related to him?
However, despite her thoughts, Liu Yuanyuan did not ask any questions.
"Regardless of whether they are new humans or not, their identity as evolved beings is undeniable. The disappearance of Li Xin and the others may not be the work of vengeful ghosts, but rather that they were captured by someone."
Liu Yuanyuan continued.
She looked at Jiang Qiao, wanting to ask him what his next steps were.
Jiang Qiao thought about it and felt that this was an opportunity.
If the other party is a "new human," then it's a good opportunity to learn about this organization in the supernatural world.
If it's just an ordinary evolved being, then killing it wouldn't be a big deal.
Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly paused.
He saw a dirty rag doll hanging outside a window on the second floor of the small building on the left.
"This rag doll is the one I gave to Xue Lan."
He recognized him at a glance.
"However, the doll had a large hole pierced through its back, clearly it took a hit for Xue Lan."
Jiang Qiao glanced at the small wooden stick in his hand and seemed to understand what was going on.
"Give it a try."
Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, then took out a pistol from the ghost skin pocket.
This is just an ordinary gun; it's useless against vengeful spirits. Even slightly stronger evolved beings or awakened beings can withstand bullets.
However, he doesn't intend to use a gun to fight monsters right now.
He raised his pistol, released the safety, and fired three shots at the window where the rag doll was hanging!
Excellent marksmanship!
All three bullets landed on the half-open window and bounced into the room.
soon.
A pale, bloodless face appeared cautiously by the window.
When she saw Jiang Qiao, she was first taken aback, then her face lit up with joy.
"It's Xue Lan."
Liu Yuanyuan recognized the owner of that face at a glance.
"She's quite bold; she actually dared to enter this building alone."
Jiang Qiao chuckled softly.
If I'm not mistaken, she went in to avoid the evolved beings, and she even withstood a supernatural attack on the way.
The damage was simply transferred to the rag doll, so it remained unharmed.
Jiang Qiao arrived at the foot of the small building and made several hand gestures to Xue Lan on the second floor, mouthing her that she should not come down for the time being and should wait until the next time slot.
It's still just before dawn, and the building isn't safe. Wandering around in the corridors is practically suicide!
Xue Lan immediately understood and nodded hastily.
"It seems she's the only one; Li Xin and Luo Wen have been captured by the evolved beings."
Jiang Qiao said calmly.
"I'm quite curious."
"What is the purpose of the evolved beings coming to this village?"
"Although they may be mistaken for one of their own by many vengeful spirits, thus becoming immune to attacks, this is not absolute."
"There are indiscriminate attacks by blood-clothed vengeful ghosts in this village."

Time transition.
Xue Lan left the small building and returned to the open space through the narrow stairwell and corridor.
It's roughly morning now.
Liu Yuanyuan made an estimate.
In real-world legends, the heaviest Yin energy occurs at midnight, while the most vengeful ghosts are said to be between 1 am and 3 am
The most eerie time is before dawn.
Correspondingly.
Early morning represents the birth of yang energy, a time of great vitality, so the probability of encountering ghosts is the lowest during this time of day.
At noon, although the yang energy reaches its peak.
However, in certain areas, such as riverbanks or old forests, it is easier to be possessed by evil spirits than at other times.
Liu Yuanyuan said that it is morning now, so it is relatively safe.
Jiang Qiao even felt that the omnipresent stench of decay had become faint and almost disappeared.
What's going on here?
"What about Li Xin and Luo Wen? Are they dead?"
Jiang Qiao asked seriously.
Li Xin is actually stronger than Xue Lan.
However, since the opponent possesses a supernatural item capable of killing a third-tier awakened individual, it's quite normal for Li Xin, with his limited strength, to be slaughtered.
Xue Lan stretched her body slightly and said somewhat dejectedly:
"After you and Miss Liu disappeared, we stood in the open space waiting for you to reappear. As a result, seven or eight people came from outside, and they looked somewhat like evolved beings."
"They are very strong, almost all of them are like Li Xin. And the leader should have reached the fourth level."
"After this group of people came in, they tried to take us away without saying a word. Because of the disparity in strength, Li Xin chose to compromise temporarily and leave with them, and Luo Wen had no other choice."
"I wonder how they are doing now."
Xue Lan's tone carried a hint of worry.
She and Li Xin were friends and had completed several missions together, so she didn't want anything to happen to him.
And what about you?
"They're so strong, how did you manage to escape?"
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow.
He originally thought there were only three or four people on the other side, but he didn't expect there to be eight!
Moreover, their strength is almost the same as Li Xin's, and the leader has even reached the fourth level.
How could Xue Lan manage to escape under such circumstances?
What's going on?
"They thought they had us under control, so they let their guard down. They left only one person to escort us."
"I took advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and turned to run into the building."
"They seemed very wary of this place and dared not come in to look for me, so they had no choice but to leave with Li Xin and Luo Wen first."
"However, during my escape, I was attacked by a terrible supernatural force. If it weren't for the rag doll that Brother Jiang gave me, I would be dead."
Xue Lan recounted the scene, her tone tinged with gratitude.
However.
Liu Yuanyuan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly frowned.
"Wait a minute."
She stopped Xue Lan and asked:
"You're saying Mr. Jiang and I disappeared? We clearly went into the building on the right."
She keenly sensed that there was something wrong with Xue Lan's statement.
So I brought it up.
"The small building on the right?"
Xue Lan glanced to her right with some confusion, her expression changing slightly:
"But in my eyes, there was no small building there, only an empty space. Not only me, but Li Xin and Luo Wen saw it the same way."
After saying that.
She went straight to the small building on the right.
Then, to Jiang Qiao's astonishment, her figure actually overlapped with Xiao Lou's!
In front of Xue Lan, Xiao Lou seemed to be nothing more than a phantom.
Even though she reached the entrance and even went inside, she was still in a different space from the small building!
⑻bσoк． Сом
"She can't get in; the building is an illusion to her."
Liu Yuanyuan said with a serious expression.
"So, does the building on the right want us to go in? Or can only those who have reached a certain level of strength see it?"
Jiang Qiao frowned.
He had a very strange feeling at that moment.
Every step he took into the village seemed preordained.
But he couldn't find any trace of the arrangement.
"Leave here."
"Let's go find Li Xin and the others. We should be able to get some information from those evolved beings."
Jiang Qiao said in a deep voice.
Xue Lan said the other party was very wary of this place and didn't even dare to enter the building to look for her. This means the other party definitely has some intelligence!
Then, he looked at Liu Yuanyuan and said calmly:
"If you know anything, I hope you won't hide it from me."
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Qiao and said:
"This is my first time visiting this village."
"Oh?" Jiang Qiao asked expressionlessly.
Liu Yuanyuan continued:
"The supernatural world is very strange and vast, so everyone hopes to acquire more valuable information, especially information about ruins and supernatural spaces."
"This has given rise to a large number of exploration teams that make a living by exploring mysteries, and they maintain their survival in the supernatural world by exchanging information."
"Are you part of the exploration team?" Jiang Qiao looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a half-smile.
"No, I'm not." Liu Yuanyuan shook her head.
"As I said before, I entered the supernatural world because of my parents' disappearance."
"My journey to this village began a year ago."
Liu Yuanyuan began to explain her purpose in coming to this village.
"About a year ago, when I was buying information from an exploration team, I inadvertently learned that a team of fourth-tier powerhouses had entered a strange ruin."
"There is a tunnel in the ruins that leads to a deeper world."
"And at the end of the tunnel was a pond."
"As they approached the pond, they were attacked by a strange fish, and half of them died on the spot."
"And this strange fish comes from the Underworld Sea!"
"After killing the strange fish, they used paranormal objects to measure the pond and found that they couldn't see the bottom at all."
"Not only that, they also discovered that the pond contained a large number of strange creatures, which are unique to the nearshore waters of the Dark Sea."
"So they speculated that the pond might be connected to the eerie Underworld Sea."
"I initially took it as just a rumor and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are countless strange places in the supernatural world."
"However, in describing the strange fish that attacked them, they mentioned that the fish had a strange hand with ten fingers, and anyone caught by it would be crushed into mud."
At this point, Liu Yuanyuan looked calmly at Jiang Qiao, a strange glint in her eyes.
"Did you know? My father also has a hand like this on his body."
"Holy crap?" Jiang Qiao's eyes widened.
"Your father's abilities come from this strange fish?"
Then, Jiang Qiao's gaze fell on Liu Yuanyuan's two feet.
Hands capable of turning a person into mud!
Liu Yuanyuan's legs were covered in mud, weren't they? And he even took some of the mud off, which felt like fatty flesh.
Were they all made from people who were crushed to death?
"Hehe." Liu Yuanyuan smiled, not surprised by Jiang Qiao's expression.
"The mud on my feet is a supernatural item left by my father, and it is indeed related to my father's abilities."
Liu Yuanyuan continued:
"So I got the idea to go into that tunnel."
"But that site is mobile and not fixed in one area, so it is very difficult to find."
"Fortunately, I learned of a piece of information from another place. This village can also lead to a deeper world."
"That's why I'm here."
"Unfortunately, the person who provided this information died unexpectedly, so the information I have is incomplete."

Liu Yuanyuan told Jiang Qiao why she came to this village.
She entered the supernatural world to find her parents and constantly inquired about information and bought intelligence.
A year ago, he accidentally learned from an exploration team about a tunnel in a deeper world, and at the end of the tunnel, there was a strange fish that was related to his father.
So she decided to go and investigate.
However, the original ruins leading to the tunnel were difficult to find, so she decided to prioritize finding the path to the deeper world first, and then look for the tunnel.
After making inquiries from various sources, she finally found this eerie village.
She spent a lot of money to buy intelligence, learn some of the village's secrets, including how to befriend and gain the trust of the mysterious ordinary people there.
In addition, there is the layout of the village, as well as some information about the vengeful ghosts.
Unfortunately, halfway through the intelligence exchange, the other party suddenly died unexpectedly, preventing Liu Yuanyuan from learning the most important information—the location of the passage to the deeper world!
This forced her to risk exploring and searching for an entrance.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
Of course, thanks to Jiang Qiao's involvement, she eventually obtained a clue and learned that the elevator in the morgue might lead to that world.
However, her experience in the village made her temporarily give up on entering. She plans to go back and make further preparations, and also to form a team to explore together.
"I see." Jiang Qiao nodded noncommittally, not dwelling on the matter further.
He turned to look at Xue Lan.
Do you know where they took Li Xin?
The fact that Li Xin and Luo Wen were not killed on the spot suggests that the other side might need to use them for something.
For example, opening roads.
For example, as sacrificial offerings!
Although most of the day has passed, the two may not necessarily be dead.
He now wants to find not only the two people, but more importantly, he also wants to capture the "new humans" group, torture them, and ask them for information about the supernatural world.
"I think I heard the leader say that he was going to take them to the village chief's residence," Xue Lan said.
"Judging from their appearance, it seems like they are looking for something."
Xue Lan tried hard to recall the scene at that time, wanting to provide Jiang Qiao with as much complete information as possible.
Unfortunately, that group of people didn't have much interaction throughout the entire process.
"Do you know where the village chief lives?" Jiang Qiao asked Liu Yuanyuan.
"Know."
Liu Yuanyuan replied.
"After we leave the temple, take the small path on the left, and it will be at the end."
"However, the village chief is the most powerful figure in the village, and his residence is often where some very terrifying ghosts are imprisoned."
"We still need to be careful if we go there."
"From what Xue Lan said, those people weren't very strong, only at the third or fourth level."
"Although they are all evolved beings, their strength is not enough to allow them to move around freely in the village."
"Therefore, I suspect they have some kind of token on them."
Liu Yuanyuan reminded her.
"A token?" Jiang Qiao frowned slightly.
"You mean, this village might have already been taken over by the new humans?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean control; it could also mean that some kind of deal has been made," Liu Yuanyuan said.
Even if you are a so-called evolved being, most vengeful spirits will only treat you as one of their own, but that doesn't mean you can run around carefree under their noses.
If some vengeful ghost takes a dislike to you, it might just kill you on its own!
After all, even in the real world, arguments can sometimes escalate into violence.
Moreover, it's a vengeful ghost that has no sense of reason.
For example, "What are you looking at?"
What's wrong with looking at you?
"How come you're so awesome?"
"I..."
⒏ьооk． Cοm
What happens next is pretty much what you can imagine.
...
"What you said makes some sense," Jiang Qiao said, somewhat agreeing.
"So we still need to be cautious and watch out for danger when we go there," Liu Yuanyuan said.
"What are your thoughts?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"I'll go ahead and test their strength. After suppressing them, I need that token," Liu Yuanyuan said, revealing her purpose.
"You're overthinking it," Jiang Qiao said with a smile.
"To be honest, I could kill a hundred guys like that by myself. You're mistaken if you think you can swindle me out of them."
Supernatural powers, sometimes, are just a hair's breadth away, which is equivalent to being infinitely high.
Moreover, his combat strength has reached the sixth level!
Let alone seven or eight third or fourth-tier enemies, even if there were a hundred fourth-tier enemies, he could kill them like cutting grass!
Once the demon realm opens, everything will be annihilated!
"You know, if such a thing really exists, it would be very important to me," Liu Yuanyuan said calmly.
"You can also name your price, and if it's suitable, we can make a deal."
It is foreseeable that she will come to this village several more times in the future, so if there really is some kind of token, it will be of great help to her.
"Are you so sure the token exists?"
"Even if it exists, are you so sure you can use it?"
"This isn't a house key; you can't just grab it and open the door."
Jiang Qiao looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a smile.
"You can take a gamble if there's a 30% chance, but that's none of your business."
"If you agree to the deal, I'll lead the way and afterwards I can give you a supernatural item."
Liu Yuanyuan said.
After hearing this, Jiang Qiao stood up and walked towards the door.
"You need to take the lead and give me some supernatural items in exchange."
"But if a token really exists, I have 50% control over it."
"how?"
As Jiang Qiao walked, he offered his suggestions.
Liu Yuanyuan followed behind him, and after a moment of silence, nodded.
"Can."
...
After the deal was reached.
The three left the sacrificial temple.
Since it was morning, there was nothing eerie about the streets outside.
The stench and eerie winds around them became barely perceptible.
The whole layout looks like just an abandoned village.
Following the path on the left, they soon arrived at the outside of a dilapidated five-story villa.
Jiang Qiao looked around.
It was quiet here. Apart from the garbage scattered all over the ground, I didn't see anyone or find anything unusual.
However, the villa in front of him still gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
It's like facing not a house, but a ferocious beast.
"This is it."
Liu Yuanyuan nodded to Jiang Qiao, then walked towards the villa gate without hesitation.
Jiang Qiao and Xue Lan stood outside.
Jiang Qiao simply used the "Stalker" talent to hide himself.
So if someone passes by, they will only see Xue Lan.
⑧bOOK． сOm

Liu Yuanyuan walked into the villa's courtyard without any hesitation.
Strange, illusory figures split off from her body and quickly drifted into the villa.
These phantoms quickly invaded the house through the first-floor windows.
She walked step by step to the front door.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
A slow, deliberate knock sounded, and Liu Yuanyuan waited for the person inside to open the door.
"This door looks very new." Her eyes flickered.
The villa was very dilapidated overall.
Many parts of the exterior walls have collapsed, revealing a dark interior. The windows are covered in dust and scattered with broken glass.
The courtyard was overgrown with twisted and bizarre weeds that looked like human tongues.
Clearly, no one has been here for many years.
However, the main gate was surprisingly new.
Even on the front door, there was an upside-down red "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) character, seemingly praying for the homeowner's well-being.
"There was nothing unusual inside. The ghost went in but found nothing."
Liu Yuanyuan knocked on the door while frowning.
She split into more than a dozen figures.
However, upon entering the house, they found nothing and no signs of human activity.
Did those evolved beings change their plans at the last minute and not come to the village chief's residence?
Or perhaps the map she received was incorrect, and this place wasn't where the village chief lived.
"Let's go in and take a look."
After thinking about it, she decided to go inside the house and explore.
The next second.
A large cleaver appeared in her hand, and then she raised it and swung it out fiercely!
Bang!
Click!
The lock on the gate was no match for the eerie cleaver; it was instantly cleaved in two, and the gate opened.
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
A tooth-grinding sound came, followed by a cool breeze that made Liu Yuanyuan feel slightly chilly.
Liu Yuanyuan showed no fear, pushed open the door, and went inside.
However, as soon as she stepped into the house, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Someone's there!"
moment.
The surrounding darkness was illuminated.
Immediately afterwards, the dilapidated, damp living room, filled with old furniture, was transformed into a brand new space.
The brightly lit chandelier, the soft and clean carpet, and the several brand-new leather sofas placed in front of her all told Liu Yuanyuan that she had entered a haunted space.
"I see. It will only be triggered when you enter through the main entrance."
"No wonder the ghost couldn't find anything."
She understood.
However, she didn't take it seriously.
This supernatural space isn't very strong; she could easily break through it.
But she didn't do that.
"Is anyone there? Come out."
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly.
"Hey, Xiao Tu, you were just complaining about how the duck that was almost in your hand flew away, and look, another one has arrived."
A voice suddenly rang out.
Then, five figures suddenly appeared on the opposite sofa.
One of the young men, wearing a white t-shirt, sat there casually, pointed at Liu Yuanyuan, and chuckled to a slick-haired young man next to him.
"Are you New Humans?" Liu Yuanyuan looked at them; all five were at the third tier, and all of them were evolved beings.
It seems that the group Xue Lan was talking about is them.
However, the so-called fourth-tier leader is not here.
"Oh ho, so you know about us New Humans, young lady?"
"That's perfect! From now on, we're friends. Hey, wanna play games? How about I help you get a chicken dinner?"
The slick-haired young man stretched an exaggerated arc from the corner of his mouth all the way to his ear.
"Heh. What's so fun about a piece of trash like you who's just a skinny shell? I'd rather buy an inflatable one."
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Tu Jie, a half-smile on her face.
She was far stronger than her opponent.
In addition, he possessed a certain intuition, so he could see through the other party's true nature at a glance.
Don't let Tu Jie's sleazy appearance fool you; he's nothing but a human skin. Underneath that skin lies a bundle of straw!
"Evolved beings that are neither human nor ghost, feeding you several kilograms of seahorse won't help."
Liu Yuanyuan scoffed.
(8) BOok.com
Tu Jie, who had been looking at Tu Jie with a mocking expression, lost his smile.
He looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a cold expression: "Woman, do you want to die?"
"Even if you're tired of living, don't you think about your teammates? Their lives are still in my hands."
The words fell.
The four figures beside him also let out bursts of cold laughter.
They had already figured it out; this woman was probably in cahoots with Li Xin and Luo Wen.
After all, this village isn't an amusement park, so where did all these strangers come from?
Considering the woman who escaped before, it's not hard to guess that the woman who's come knocking now is probably part of the same group.
"Where are Li Xin and Luo Wen?"
"Send them over, and I might consider not killing you."
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly.
The other party kidnapped Li Xin and Luo Wen, but they didn't know her identity, which surprised her.
There are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that Li Xin and Luo Wen remained stubborn and said nothing.
But she thought that possibility was unlikely.
Even if it's just to protect themselves, the two of them will still reveal Jiang Qiao and her.
After all, they are powerful and can serve as a deterrent!
Another possibility.
Li Xin and Luo Wen didn't even have time to speak before something happened!
"They were just two useless pieces of trash, and we've already crippled them. They're probably fed to evil spirits now."
What can you do for me?
"Just a fourth-tier player, does he really think he's some big shot?"
Tu Jie said sarcastically.
"You should worry more about yourself. I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead."
After saying that, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Liu Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly flickered a few times.
She noticed something was wrong with her surroundings. All the walls seemed closer to her than before.
At the same time, a strange sense of oppression arose within her.
She felt as if she had fallen into a vast ocean.
"Hehe, interesting."
Liu Yuanyuan suddenly laughed.
Whether Li Xin lives or dies has nothing to do with her.
Now that we know the answer, whether it's true or false, we can at least give Jiang Qiao some closure.
Ignorance is bliss.
Seeing that Liu Yuanyuan still dared to laugh, Tu Jie sneered.
Their team has killed more than one fourth-tier expert, and one of them even reached the peak of the fourth tier.
He didn't think it was anything special.
Of course, those people, like the woman in front of them, were all quite stubborn.
He glanced at Liu Yuanyuan's thick lips and chuckled:
"Are you finding it very difficult to move around right now?"
"It's okay, the best is yet to come."
Tu Jie stared at Liu Yuanyuan with an expectant look.
However.
The smile that had just appeared on his face froze again the next moment.
Then, an incredulous look of horror appeared in his eyes!
at this time.
Liu Yuanyuan raised the large cleaver in her hand.
Her movements were not fast; in fact, they could be described as somewhat slow.
However, as he raised his sword, the surrounding space suddenly began to shake violently!
Tu Jie immediately felt a deathly aura rushing towards him!
It's not just Tu Jie.
The other evolved beings, who were watching the show from the sidelines, also sensed a strong sense of danger.
They panicked when they discovered that the surrounding environment had no effect on Liu Yuanyuan!
"quick!"
"Stop her!"
"Damn it, why isn't the Ghost Realm working?"
"Why is she still able to attack us?"
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at them calmly.
"Ignorance is bliss."
The next second.
A flash of light appeared.
"ah--!"
Five heart-wrenching screams rang out instantly.

At this moment, Liu Yuanyuan revealed her fierce side.
With a single slash, he tore through the Ghost Realm, cleaving all five evolved beings in two!
Quick!
Allow!
ruthless!
The opponent was completely powerless to fight back!
How is that possible?
Tu Jie lay on the ground, staring at Liu Yuanyuan in shock and anger.
His body had been split in two, revealing the straw beneath his skin.
Moreover, when he tried to use supernatural powers to repair his body, he found that he simply couldn't!
He can sense and manipulate supernatural forces.
However, when they were moved to the wound, they could not be connected at all, as if a huge trench had appeared between them!
"It's getting late, let's get going."
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly, then walked over.
You can't kill me!
Tu Jie panicked completely and screamed in terror:
"Your two companions are not dead. Even if you kill me, they will not survive, and you will be hunted down by the New Humans!"
"You should know the reputation of our organization. If you mess with me, we'll fight to the death, no matter where you are!"
Tu Jie shouted louder and louder, hoping to scare the other party.
However, Liu Yuanyuan completely ignored him.
He walked straight up to him, and the blade lightly grazed Tu Jie's head.
Click
The cries abruptly stopped!
Not only that.
With this simple strike, the space maintained by this ghostly realm began to tremble even more violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
"The deed has been done, now come out."
Liu Yuanyuan calmly looked at the stairwell opposite.
The next moment.
A strange scream rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly brightened, and light instantly enveloped the surroundings. The eerie space that was on the verge of collapse stabilized once again.
"What a brilliant move."
A cold voice rang out, and the figure of a white-haired youth suddenly appeared in the hall.
He glanced at the five corpses lying on the ground, his gaze lingering on Tu Jie's face for a moment.
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face:
"Little girl, how did you know I was going to use someone else to do my dirty work?"
Do you know who he is?
"Do you know what kind of big trouble you've gotten yourself into by killing him?"
His voice was very shrill, sounding like someone was scratching a blackboard with their fingernails, which made Liu Yuanyuan frown.
Do you have a token to enter this village?
"It allows you to move freely in the village without being attacked by vengeful ghosts."
Liu Yuanyuan did not respond to the young man's words, but changed the subject and suddenly asked a question.
The young man paused slightly upon hearing her words, then chuckled softly:
"You know quite a lot. I do have a token."
He didn't try to hide anything and readily admitted it, seemingly not considering it a big secret.
Liu Yuanyuan nodded and said:
"That puts my mind at ease."
"I don't care who I killed. I've killed so many people, it's not worth remembering some piece of trash from the new humans."
"As for you, with such an unpleasant voice, there's really no point in communicating with you."
After she finished speaking, the mud on Liu Yuanyuan's feet began to peel off little by little.
Clearly, she was prepared to take action again and had no intention of wasting words with this white-haired youth.
"You want to attack me?"
"You want to steal my token for entering the village?"
The white-haired youth looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a strange expression, seemingly understanding what was going on, and then he actually laughed.
"Young lady, you're really confident."
He flipped his hand, and a key-like object appeared in his palm.
"I think I know why you came to this village. You must be looking for that underground world, right?"
"This place is fraught with danger, and it would be difficult to explore without the token."
"You want to kill me and steal my treasure? Fine."
"But little girl, do you really think you can kill me?"
The white-haired youth sneered.
However, Liu Yuanyuan did not answer him.
The white-haired youth's expression turned serious as he saw a terrifying black crack spreading outwards from beneath Liu Yuanyuan's feet.
The next moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the white-haired youth's hands.

The two men appeared to have been burned by fire; their bodies were charred black, and foul-smelling pus continuously oozed from their missing skin.
One of them has stopped moving, and his fate is unknown.
The other person was still somewhat conscious and slightly raised his head to look at Liu Yuanyuan.
The white-haired youth said earnestly:
"Think it through. If you make a move, not only will you die today, but these two will also perish."
However, Liu Yuanyuan had no interest in talking to him at all; speckled purple skin peeked out from under the mud.
The entire ghost realm seemed unable to withstand the pressure, and the surrounding environment began to crack like a photograph being torn apart.
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at the two figures and said calmly:
"I won't kill you, I'll just capture you and send you to see someone."
"He needs to ask you some questions."
"Besides that, I'm also determined to have that token you have."
After saying that, she stomped her foot and suddenly disappeared from the white-haired youth's sight.
The next second.
A large, gleaming cleaver, radiating a chilling aura, suddenly appeared above the white-haired youth's head.
Although he had two companions with him.
But a mere third rank was nothing to Liu Yuanyuan.
"Killing me won't be that easy."
The white-haired youth smiled coldly and disappeared from the spot as well.
Clearly, he used the Ghost Realm's movement ability to try and dodge the attack.
However.
Liu Yuanyuan's knife suddenly changed direction at an odd angle, and as the young man disappeared, it suddenly slashed towards an empty direction.
Damn it!
The white-haired youth instantly appeared in the corner where the blade was pointing, a huge gash appearing on his body!
He looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a mixture of shock and anger, his face showing disbelief.
A stream of pitch-black blood gushed out.
"That's impossible!"
How did you know which direction I was going to move?
He knew Liu Yuanyuan was very strong, so he didn't intend to confront her head-on. Having the power of the Ghost Realm, he also didn't need to resort to desperate measures with Liu Yuanyuan.
All he needs to do is hide himself in the ghost realm and then launch an attack on Liu Yuanyuan!
He was very skilled at this.
He once killed several fourth-tier powerhouses without them being able to fight back.
The "New Humans" consist of nine special operations teams, representing the organization's nine sharpest weapons.
As the vice-captain of the Ninth Squad, although he was only at the fourth rank, he was confident that he could be invincible among his peers!
His confidence stems from his mastery of the Ghost Realm abilities.
This ability has only ever appeared in extremely terrifying and malevolent spirits.
In the human world, those who possess the Ghost Realm are extremely rare, almost all of them being powerful figures of the sixth rank or above!
Therefore, he has never encountered an opponent.
Even if it's a fifth-tier weapon, he felt he could give it a shot.
But.
Now, this woman, who is also at the fourth level, can actually discover him hiding in the Ghost Realm!
"I don't believe it!"
"You just got lucky."
The white-haired youth had a cold look in his eyes, and the next second he disappeared into the ghost realm again.
"I'll teach you a lesson!"
A venomous voice came from behind.
The next moment.
A cold wind began to blow.
The surroundings began to fade and age, as if some terrifying supernatural force was beginning to affect this space.
However.
Liu Yuanyuan's eyes flickered.
He raised his knife and immediately turned around to make a powerful slashing motion.
"ah--"
A strange sound rang out, like the weeping of a vengeful ghost, or the mournful howl of a wounded lone wolf.
Then.
The growing chilling wind suddenly vanished, and the surrounding environment ceased its fading and aging.
This isn't over yet.
Liu Yuanyuan suddenly took a few steps forward and slashed her knife sharply to the left!
It was moving extremely fast, as if it were intercepting something.
"ah!"
Another scream rang out.
The white-haired youth, clutching his shoulder, fell from the void.
On the ground.
An extra arm, still struggling, appeared!
