Roadside.
Several young people were sitting in a circle, discussing something.
"Brother Zhang, aren't we going to go with them?"
A robust young man looked at the team leader with some confusion.
They knew each other in the real world; they came from the same school.
Although we weren't classmates, we got along very well because we often played ball together.
The leader among them was Zhang Yin, the captain of the school's basketball team. After transmigrating to the supernatural world, he was also the first person to complete the mission and reach the peak of the first level.
Therefore, he held considerable weight in the hearts of this group, and they tacitly acknowledged his leadership role.
Upon hearing the young man's question, Zhang Yin chuckled and said:
"Those people are not simple. Being with them will not end well. It's just that I couldn't refuse them when we were in the house."
"After all, judging from how the bald guy suppressed Xiao Lu, he is much stronger than us."
Upon hearing this, a young man with purple marks on his neck nodded, his face filled with hatred, and said:
"Those three people, and the last one who appeared, are definitely not good people. If we associate with them, we're just asking for trouble."
He was almost killed by the bald man and still feels lingering fear.
"Yes, they are too dangerous."
The others subconsciously agreed.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Zhang Yin continued:
"Moreover, Li Xin said before that if you're unlucky in this mission, you'll die as soon as you step out the door, but if you're lucky, you won't encounter any ghosts even after seven days."
His words reveal a message.
What information?
Everyone asked curiously.
"This vengeful ghost is unstoppable!"
Zhang Yin's face showed a mocking expression, and he said:
"He invited us to band together and rambled on for ages, spouting nonsense about unity and solidarity. Then he started telling stories. But he never mentioned how to fight off the vengeful ghosts or what we needed to do."
"Is he some kind of saint who can deal with evil spirits all by himself while we just stand by and cheer?"
"If we don't talk about confrontation, the most likely outcome is that we can't confront them!"
"Moreover, this mission is called a survival mission. If vengeful ghosts are so easy to fight, wouldn't a goal like surviving for seven days become a joke?"
"I know my own limitations; the gap in strength between me and these seasoned veterans is quite obvious. What's the point of staying here if we can't fight off the vengeful spirits?"
At this point, Zhang Yin paused, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Immediately, everyone realized what was happening.
"Damn it, he wants us to be cannon fodder!"
...
On the other side.
Jiang Qiao smiled after hearing what the wrench man said.
It seems those young people aren't so easily fooled.
That's true.
Children these days are exposed to all kinds of information from a young age and are very opinionated.
They are not as innocent as the previous generation.
"They must have left. Let's go too. Let's find a place to stay and figure out how to spend the next few days."
Jiang Qiao said it casually.
Li Xin probably noticed that several young people hadn't been successfully manipulated by him, and he looked around with some resentment.
I never expected that even after talking myself hoarse, those young people wouldn't fall for it!
Are even students this cunning nowadays?
As he was looking around aimlessly, his gaze suddenly froze for a moment, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qiao and the others subconsciously turned their heads in the direction of his gaze.
Then, they saw a woman dressed in a white gauze dress, her whole body pale, staring intently at them from behind the second-floor window.
Her face was covered by her hair, and only half of her face could be seen.
But this small half of his face was covered with crisscrossing cracks, like a piece of shattered porcelain.
(8) BOOK. Com
The most terrifying thing was the eye that was sticking out of its hair.
That eye held a deathly stillness, emptiness, coldness, resentment, and malice.
Jiang Qiao really couldn't understand how so much negative information could be concentrated in his eyes.
But ironically, you only need to glance at it to grasp this message.
at this time.
Everyone except Jiang Qiao looked horrified. The young woman even collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way.
Xue Lan and the bald man were both pale.
They've seen ghosts before, even those with more grotesque appearances.
But for some reason, upon seeing this vengeful ghost, a deep-seated fear surged into my heart as if by instinct.
A feeling of despair spread uncontrollably through my mind.
"Bang--"
A loud gunshot rang out.
Then, the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Without hesitation, Jiang Qiao fired a shot at the woman inside the window.
If this bastard kills six people on the first day, how are we supposed to get through the rest of the days?
They'll probably all die in two or three days.
What will he do after seven days?
Therefore, the maximum he can accept is one or two people dying every day.
In this way, someone will eventually be able to complete the mission, and at that time, he can see if there is a chance to leave this place together.
After all, his arrival coincided with the start of this group's mission.
He'd never believe it if you said it wasn't related!
A gunshot rang out.
The glass on the second floor shattered into a pile of broken glass.
The woman who was originally standing inside had disappeared.
At the same time.
The others nearby also came to their senses.
"Damn, I almost fell for it."
With a gasp, the bald man nearly fell over.
He leaned against the wall, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
Xue Lan and Li Xin were no better off.
In the face of supernatural power at this level, there would be no difference between the third and second tiers.
"Thanks."
After a while, Li Xin recovered and thanked Jiang Qiao with gratitude.
At the same time, he was somewhat shocked.
This person seemed completely unaffected.
What exactly is his strength?
Jiang Qiao nodded and said, "Let's leave first; she can't get out for the time being."
Then, the six survivors, their bodies limp, followed Jiang Qiao and walked out along the road.
Jiang Qiao was slightly surprised at this moment.
"This thing doesn't seem to be a complete ghost story."
The female ghost's appearance does indeed resemble that of a vengeful spirit from a movie. Moreover, she also fits the rule in ghost stories that she is a human in disguise.
Strangely, the female ghost did not completely disappear under Jiang Qiao's double pupils.
Even in the gray field of vision, she still retains an outline.
"Could this guy be a half-step ghost story?" Jiang Qiao thought to himself with a strange feeling.
After all, he had never witnessed the specific process of a person turning into a ghost story.
This process might involve several steps, or it might take a very long time.
"However, if she hasn't completely become a ghost story, does that mean there's a possibility of killing her?"
Jiang Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jiang Qiao led everyone to a park.
It's summer here, and it's a little past one in the afternoon.
So apart from a few sanitation workers resting in the shade, there was no one else.
Jiangqiao was increasingly amazed as he walked along the road.
The people here all look like ordinary, living people!
They have feelings, lives, and emotions.
He even punched a thug on the street just now to verify his claim.
After a moment of bewilderment, the thug suddenly flew into a rage.
Upon seeing that there were six people in Jiangqiao, they immediately made a phone call to prepare to call for reinforcements!
And they even yelled at you not to leave!
That kind of energy and spirit—you can tell at a glance that he's not a good person.
It's so realistic, it doesn't look fake at all!
Or perhaps it's fake, but it's so realistic that Jiang Qiao can't tell the difference.
Jiang Qiao glanced at the thug, then knocked him unconscious and threw him in the shade by the roadside.
He did not choose to kill.
This is a survival mission; there's no need to create unnecessary trouble for yourself.
Killing is easy.
But if it attracts the official forces of this world, it would be a losing proposition.
"Alright, you guys introduce yourselves, what your abilities are, Baldy, you start."
Sitting in his chair, Jiang Qiao looked at the group of people rather lazily.
He was too lazy to hide his talents.
In this situation, only he can deal with the vengeful spirit.
Since that's the case, we must gain absolute control of the discourse and, incidentally, learn about the capabilities of this group of amateurs.
Otherwise, if they act recklessly, Jiangqiao will probably be left with no one to command in seven days.
His biggest worry now is that if everyone dies, he will also be judged as having failed the mission and thus be unable to leave.
Although Jiang Qiao didn't see any information in the task list, he guessed that he probably also had a task.
This mission is related to the survival of this group of people.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Just as why he came here is a mystery.
However, without any other ideas, he could only try to survive with this group of crayons for the time being.
"Damn it, I've become a nanny."
Jiang Qiao thought this was absolutely outrageous!
Hearing Jiang Qiao's question and glaring at the black lightning dancing on his fingertips, a sense of dread rose in the hearts of the six.
Especially Li Xin.
He had already reached the third tier of strength, so he felt it more deeply than others!
Although the arc of electricity was only a wisp, it brought him an immense sense of oppression, as if he were facing a monstrous wave that could engulf him at any moment!
Under these circumstances, he temporarily put aside his own thoughts and answered very cooperatively, "My name is Li Xin, from village number 310."
"My body can melt and engulf others. At the same time, I have extremely strong immunity to damage."
As he spoke, his body began to melt as if a wax figure had been exposed to fire!
Soon, a large pool of colorful wax began to spread rapidly on the ground.
This scene startled the three newcomers next to them!
"Don't be afraid. As you grow stronger and the erosion of your bodies by the strange forces intensifies, your abilities will evolve in that direction as well."
Xue Lan glanced at the three of them and chuckled softly.
The next moment, her delicate face began to lose color rapidly, turning pale, as if she had turned into a corpse in an instant.
"My ability is simple: I can turn myself into a zombie."
She touched her curvaceous body.
"After becoming a zombie, theoretically I have a body like a vengeful ghost, making me very difficult to harm. I can even confront vengeful ghosts head-on."
Jiang Qiao glanced at her stiffened body, and a word flashed through his mind—"zombie".
This woman can actually turn herself into a zombie!
That's an amazing ability!
"My abilities..."
(8) BOOK.com
The bald man touched his head.
Suddenly, a hideous slit appeared on the smooth scalp, through which the skull could be clearly seen!
At the top of the skull, there is a small hole that looks like it was drilled.
There's something inside the small hole.
Jiang Qiao squinted and sized him up.
Is it possible that this person has cerebral palsy because their brain is damaged?
How could they put such a dangerous thing into their minds?
The bald man didn't continue to demonstrate his abilities, but the aura emanating from the small hole made the newcomers feel somewhat uneasy.
Because they sensed a very ominous creature inside!
"hey-hey."
The bald man chuckled as he looked at the newcomer's panicked expression. He smeared something on his scalp, and the slit closed up again.
The spot was completely smooth, without a single scratch.
"It's your turn."
Jiang Qiao did not comment, but instead turned his attention to the three newcomers.
The three men looked at each other, and the wrench-wielding man replied honestly:
"We're all from the same village, and we've just reached the peak of the first tier. My name is Rowan, and I used to be a car mechanic. My awakened ability... I can bend anything..."
"Well--"
Jiang Qiao glanced at his appearance and was somewhat suspicious.
However, he still did not speak.
Immediately afterwards.
The beautiful 30-year-old woman and the silent young man also introduced themselves.
The young woman's name was Liu Qian, and the young man's name was Tian Ye.
Their abilities were all quite ordinary, which disappointed Jiang Qiao.
"Brother Wang, now that you're the team leader, what are our plans going forward?"
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Li Xin asked a question.
Jiang Qiao told him that his surname was Wang, but he didn't say his given name, so he directly called him "brother".
This surprised Jiang Qiao quite a bit.
He thought all the veterans were incredibly awesome.
"We need to get some currency now. Although we are all awakened, it's always more convenient to have money."
At this point, Jiang Qiao glanced at Bald Brother Long and laughed, "Go and get some currency now."
Why should I go?
Brother Long was immediately displeased.
"Because I don't think you're a good person, I should be able to find quite a few connections," Jiang Qiao said with a smile.
"you--"
Brother Long was furious and was about to retort.
But Jiang Qiao's forced smile made him uneasy.
The swear words that were about to slip out were swallowed back down.
"Fine, I'll go!"
Brother Long turned and left angrily.
Jiang Qiao ignored him and smiled at the remaining people:
"Once Baldy comes back, we'll head to the airport or train station. I'll try to squeeze all of you in. The farther we go, the better."
"Let's see if we can delay the attack."
Jiang Qiao remembered that Kayako was oblivious to distance; even if you fled to the ends of the earth, she would still find you.
But it doesn't matter, everyone is now under a curse.
They all have the same priority.
In this situation, perhaps because of the increased distance, Kayako would prioritize killing the eight youths.
So, from the moment they left.
It's basically a death sentence already handed down.
They had no idea how terrifying this vengeful ghost was!
"Xue Lan, go and find out how to get to the airport and train station."
Jiang Qiao gave the order again.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Brother Long returned to the park and brought back a sack of banknotes.
Jiang Qiao didn't ask him how he obtained it; he simply grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket, then said to the others:
"Take some of it. Money makes the world go round, and it might come in handy at a crucial moment."
After hearing his words, everyone stepped forward and received a large pile of banknotes.
Jiang Qiao then checked the time.
There are two hours left until evening.
He remembered very clearly that every evening, those eerie cities would begin to "live" up.
Although he was unsure of the situation in the area, he decided to find a place to stay for the night and carefully consider what to do next.
Because Xue Lan brought back bad news.
This city has neither an airport nor a train station.
The only long-distance bus station only has one bus at noon.
This shattered Jiang Qiao's plan to run away, forcing him to start making plans from scratch.
"As expected, things won't go as I wish."
Although Jiang Qiao was a little depressed, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
Paranormal events are often unexpected.
If things go smoothly, problems may arise.
"It's very dangerous to wander around in this kind of haunted space at night. Let's find a place to stay first."
Jiang Qiao turned to the crowd and said.
"That's right. I once went to a small town where, every night, I could hear people singing and dogs barking. But the whole town was completely deserted."
Li Xin recalled a certain memory from the past, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
In that incident, half of them died.
This also made him realize that the danger level in the town increases tenfold at night!
Jiang Qiao and Li Xin both thought they should find a place to stay first, and the others naturally had no objections.
So the group of seven left the deserted park, hailed a taxi on the street outside, and arrived at a star-rated hotel that was relatively far from the area.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Qiao told them to wait outside, then swaggered inside and activated "Stalker" in a blind spot.
Afterwards, he walked around the hotel from top to bottom but found nothing unusual.
Then he casually opened the door to a room at the end of the third-floor corridor.
This will be their temporary lodging for the night.
It's very quiet here. Normally, unless it's fully booked, few customers would choose the room at the end of the corridor.
Legend has it that this is the most yin-heavy place in the hotel, where it's easy to encounter ghosts!
That's just bullshit.
"At least in this world, at least when facing Miss Jia, it doesn't matter where I live."
After confirming that no one was in the surrounding rooms, he called the people waiting outside the hotel up.
"This house is nice."
Xue Lan nodded, quite satisfied with the environment.
When going out on missions, it's common to be exposed to the elements and sleep in ruins.
They are quite content to be able to stay in a hotel now.
"Today is the first night. Since we've been given seven days to survive, the female ghost shouldn't be coming to us on the very first day. So don't be too nervous, just get some rest."
After settling in, Jiang Qiao offered words of comfort to everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Actually, the house wasn't very big, and it was quite crowded with seven people inside.
I reckon most people will be sleeping on the floor tonight.
But at that moment, no one wanted to go to other rooms.
...
evening.
Several young men strolled leisurely into a hotel.
They managed to get some money while they were outside. Then they found this illegal hotel that didn't require ID.
"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ma, go buy some food. We'll stay in the room tonight and not go anywhere."
Zhang Yin gave instructions to the two young men behind him.
"Okay, Brother Zhang."
The two quickly agreed, then went downstairs and left the hotel.
After watching them leave, Zhang Yin took another walk around the hotel and found that there were still quite a few people staying there, which made him feel relieved.
He had no idea when the vengeful ghost would appear.
But the ghost stories he had read since childhood taught him two lessons!
Don't go out after dark.
Stay in crowded places.
So he did as instructed.
"Please bear with us tonight. I think the first night will be relatively peaceful."
...
Near the hotel.
Boiling Point Barbecue Restaurant.
"Hey, Ma Yu, do you think the ghosts here are really that terrifying?"
After choosing their dishes, Zhao Ming and Ma Yu squatted by the roadside and chatted.
"How would I know? When I was in the village, I always hunted mutated animals in groups, and I never encountered any vengeful ghosts."
Ma Yu handed Zhao Ming a cigarette, then lit one for himself and took a deep drag. He continued:
"However, I've heard that vengeful ghosts are different from mutated animals; they seem to lack a real body and are difficult to deal with."
"Yeah, I've never encountered that in the village before. I checked the chat channel, and it seems like only Brother Sun is chasing after Ghost Chopping all day long."
Zhao Ming's tone was tinged with envy.
"Brother Sun is a dual Awakener, and I heard he's already at the second level."
"No comparison. They had already awakened their abilities before the supernatural resurgence."
Ma Yu shook her head.
"Also, Zhang Yin and Brother Sun have some past grievances, so you'd better not mention him too often."
"I know."
While the two were chatting.
Suddenly, a "thud" came from beside them.
8ьооK． Сοm
Immediately afterwards, a stream of liquid splashed onto them.
"What the hell?"
Ma Yu subconsciously touched her face, only to find her hand covered in a sticky liquid.
"Holy crap, it's blood!"
His gaze instantly shifted to the source of the sound.
The next second, I saw a huge, badly injured black cat lying on the ground.
Judging from the wounds and appearance, he was probably dead.
"Damn it, who's so heartless? Is this cat abuse?"
Looking at the cat's corpse, Zhao Ming shouted angrily upstairs.
As the owner of five cats, he abhors the abuse of pets.
What's more, the object is a cat!
However, the next moment.
His expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of horror.
He saw a strange woman standing by the window on the second floor of the barbecue restaurant.
No, it wasn't a woman.
It's just a woman's face; you can't see her lower body.
"Grass!"
"Is it that female ghost?"
Beside him, Ma Yu also saw that face, and her heart skipped a beat.
Instinctively, I immediately turned and ran.
When Zhao Ming saw Ma Yu running, he immediately ran after him.
The restaurant owner packed up the barbecue for them, but they didn't want it anymore.
"Damn it, looks like they've come knocking on our door."
Compared to Zhao Ming, who was already panicked, Ma Yu was also terrified, but at least he remained relatively calm.
This is not because he is knowledgeable or well-traveled.
Rather, his talent lies in his ability to protect himself, which is far superior to Zhao Ming's!
This made him relatively more at ease.
They ran all the way and quickly returned to the hotel.
The two breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the guests checking in at the lobby.
Zhao Ming bent over and coughed a few times, panting heavily.
"Let's hurry upstairs and tell Zhang Yin and the others about this."
After resting for a while, Ma Yu spoke.
"Brother Ma, I want to rest a little longer before going up."
Zhao Ming stared at the open elevator doors, a sudden chill running down his spine for some reason. He guessed he was still shaken from being frightened by the vengeful ghost.
He planned to wait until it got crowded before taking the elevator upstairs together. But he was too embarrassed to tell Ma Yu, afraid that she would laugh at him.
"Okay, I'll go up first. Be careful."
Ma Yu glanced at him, but didn't say anything, and quickly walked into the elevator on her own.
As the elevator doors closed, Ma Yu disappeared from Zhao Ming's sight.
The unease he felt suddenly vanished.
...
Standing in the elevator, Ma Yu pressed the button for the third floor.
The elevator started running.
"We need to get upstairs quickly. Now that face has appeared, it's very likely they'll come after us."
"Zhao Ming is downstairs alone, and he might encounter a vengeful ghost."
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Zhao Ming is downstairs alone, and he might encounter a vengeful ghost."
"That's fine, it buys me some time."
Compared to the timid Zhao Ming, Ma Yu was much more experienced.
Although he had never fought against a vengeful ghost, he liked to collect information in his spare time, so he had some understanding of vengeful ghosts.
He was also one of the few in the team who knew that the activity of the vengeful ghosts would increase starting in the evening.
Therefore, he believed that it was not safe for Zhao Ming to stay in the hall.
Don't be fooled by the people around you; if you're destined to die, you're still going to die!
"I must live."
Ma Yu stroked a string of Bodhi seeds in her hand, trying to distract herself from the unease in her heart.
This string of Bodhi seeds is a testament to his abilities; it can save his life in critical moments.
It was this string of Bodhi seeds that gave him the confidence to face the supernatural.
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
The elevator was old and shaky, making a sickening noise.
Soon, the elevator passed the second floor and headed towards the third floor.
It will take only a few seconds to reach the destination.
However, at that moment...
Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold swept in from the top of the elevator car.
Bang--
A loud bang, as if something had hit the top of the elevator car.
What is that?
Ma Yu was started and looked up at the ceiling, only to find a large dent in the top.
This caused the incandescent lights in the elevator to flicker on and off, as if they might go out at any moment.
"Damn it, can I really be this unlucky?"
Ma Yu paused in her caressing of the Bodhi seed, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
Before he could react...
The elevator car began to shake and sway, making clanging and rattling sounds.
Finally, with a loud bang.
The elevator stopped between the second and third floors.
"Ding-dong—"
The elevator doors opened.
8ьооK． Сοm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Where is this place?
Ma Yu looked at the scene outside the door with trepidation.
It was supposed to be a mezzanine between the second and third floors, but when the elevator doors opened, it turned out to be a corridor!
This corridor is very long, and you can't see the end of it.
Looking at the red carpet in the corridor and the exquisite reliefs on the walls on both sides, Ma Yu's heart sank.
This is not a hotel.
This elevator may have taken him to a non-existent, supernatural space.
I glanced cautiously at the ceiling above my head.
There seemed to be no movement at that dented area; I wonder if the thing on it had left.
But in this situation, he can only pretend it doesn't exist.
His most important task now is to reconnect with his companions.
Unfortunately, the system's chat channel is blocked and cannot be used during missions.
We'll have to find another way.
"call--"
He took a deep breath and pressed the elevator's emergency button.
"Is anyone there? I'm trapped in the elevator, and the door won't open."
He leaned closer to the microphone and whispered.
"Is anyone there? The elevator is out of control and is stuck between the third and second floors. I need help."
A series of rustling sounds rang out.
There was no response.
Ma Yu gave a wry smile. Sure enough, this was just a desperate measure.
"Now it really comes down to improvisation."
He recalled that before setting off, when everyone was making plans, they discussed it for a long time.
In the end, we came to two conclusions.
One is to adapt to changing circumstances.
One is to act according to circumstances.
It's completely useless!
He was now trapped in the eerie elevator, too afraid to look at what was on the ceiling or leave the elevator to explore the corridor.
They were afraid that their actions might trigger some abnormal events.
His only hope was that his companions would discover he was missing and come looking for him.
Although he knew that the possibility was very low.
"Damn it, am I going to be the first person to die on this mission?"
Just as Ma Yu was feeling uneasy and lost in thought.
Suddenly, a voice came through the microphone next to the emergency button in the elevator.
"Shh shh shh"
"Shh shh shh"
Who pressed the alarm?
The signal seemed very weak, and the sound was intermittent and barely audible, but for Ma Yu, it was like heavenly music.
He immediately stood up, ran to the microphone, and answered urgently, "I am a guest in room 304 of the hotel. I am trapped in the elevator, between the second and third floors."
"Shh shh shh"
"Shh shh shh"
Where did you say you were?
It seemed the other person hadn't heard clearly, so they asked again.
"I'm between the second and third floors!"
Ma Yu's voice was excited and anxious, as if he was afraid the signal would be lost. He continued:
"Go and inform my companions that they live in room 304, and tell them to come find me."
He knew he was actually trapped in a supernatural space, and that he had probably already disappeared in the elevator in reality.
But it's okay!
Among their companions was a fat man who possessed a strange ability.
The windows he drew on the wall could be pushed open.
Pushing it open reveals a mysterious space.
If another person draws a window at the same time, the two windows will be connected.
This is similar to the ability to open doors in a game!
However, in the case of the fat man, it was a window that was opened, not a door.
Of course, they also tried drawing a door, but it was useless.
It seems this ability is specifically designed for climbing through windows!
However, for Ma Yu now, it doesn't matter whether he climbs through a window or a door.
As long as he can contact the other party, he has a chance to escape from here!
They once conducted an experiment showing that even if the two sides were ten kilometers apart, they could still connect!
"rustle..."
"Between the second and third floors."
8вOoK.COM
"knew."
"I'll be right there."
Suddenly, the noisy electrical hum disappeared.
A woman's voice came through the microphone.
The sound was very strange, like sawing wood, which gave people the creeps.
"Damn it—"
Ma Yu stumbled back several steps, a chill rising from his feet and climbing up his back.
This woman is definitely not a hotel employee!
"The female ghost is coming."
This judgment flashed through his mind.
At the same time.
Outside the elevator, the corridor that had previously stretched as far as the eye could see began to darken at the very end.
A strange figure suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor.
As the figure appeared, the bright corridor lights suddenly dimmed, flickering as if the voltage was unstable.
With each flash, the figure would move forward a short distance out of thin air.
Soon, a woman in a white dress appeared in front of Ma Yu.
The woman was standing on tiptoe with her head down, her long hair obscuring most of her face, making it impossible to see her features.
But in the exposed eyes, Ma Yu saw emptiness, death, resentment, and terror.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Upon seeing the female ghost appear, Ma Yu knew he was doomed.
But he was not willing to die, so he raised the Bodhi seed in his hand in an attempt to resist.
But the next moment.
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
...
A string of twelve Bodhi seeds shattered instantly.
"My goodness."
Ma Yu's raised hand hung in mid-air, his eyes filled with horror.
"Giggle..."
A chilling laugh suddenly came from above Ma Yu's head.
He subconsciously raised his head.
A shattered face appeared on the ceiling.
...
"Xiao Zhao, did Xiao Ma really get into the elevator?"
In room 304, the young men sat together, and Zhang Yin, who was in charge, asked questions while smoking.
"Brother Zhang, the receptionist in the lobby saw it too. When she saw me stay, she asked me if there was anything wrong."
A few minutes after Ma Yu left.
Zhao Ming followed five or six people into the elevator and successfully arrived at the third floor.
But when he returned, he was surprised to find that Ma Yu had not come back!
That's strange.
Zhang Yin frowned, deep in thought.
"You said you encountered a female ghost at the barbecue stand. Could it be that Ma Yu was targeted by a female ghost?"
Some people guessed.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.
"That can't be right. Logically speaking, if Xiao Zhao stayed behind alone, he would be more likely to encounter ghosts."
"A fat man said in a deep voice."
Although he was overweight, his voice carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I've done some research before, and vengeful ghosts won't stop attacking you just because there are many people around you."
"They usually contact whoever is closest to them."
The fat man's words made Zhao Ming's face turn pale; he had actually just narrowly escaped death.
He recalled the feeling of palpitation he had when Ma Yu entered the elevator.
Did the vengeful ghost follow him into the elevator?
However, he dared not say this out loud, otherwise it would easily cause misunderstandings.
While the group was discussing...
There was a rapid knocking at the door.
"Bang bang bang"
"Bang bang bang"
Is anyone home?
"Open the door and check the water meter!"

Early morning.
Jiang Qiao got out of bed, still half asleep.
Last night was peaceful; there was no incident of the female ghost killing anyone.
But apart from Jiang Qiao, neither the three veterans nor the three newcomers slept well.
Especially after midnight.
The people who were originally supposed to be on night watch in groups actually stopped sleeping and instead took their weapons and kept watch for any movement outside the room.
Because in the ghost stories I heard since I was a child, midnight was the time when the yin energy was at its strongest.
From this moment on, the vengeful ghosts became unusually active!
Li Xin, in particular, had once been to a strange town on a mission.
There, he gained a profound understanding of the changes in time between dusk, midnight, and dawn.
So I can't sleep at all.
If Jiang Qiao hadn't cursed him out, he would have even been prepared to leave the lights on.
How can you sleep with the lights on?
Jiang Qiao's words left them with no choice but to silently endure the psychological pressure in the pitch black.
Jiang Qiao didn't care about this.
Everyone here is an awakened being; even without turning on the lights, we can still perceive the movements around us.
Leaving the lights on is nothing more than a psychological comfort.
"Great, the first day is over, everyone is fine, congratulations."
"If we hold on for another six days, we can leave."
Victory is within reach!
Seeing the dark circles under the eyes of the three newcomers, Jiang Qiao drank an iced cola while encouraging them.
"Sigh, I feel like if this continues, I'll have a mental breakdown before any vengeful ghosts even come knocking."
Liu Qian said with a wry smile.
She was the weakest, and her abilities were practically useless. Plus, she had always been a housewife before she transmigrated, so she didn't have much ability to handle things.
Even after more than half a month has passed since I arrived in the supernatural world, I still feel very uncomfortable.
She was able to reach the peak of the first tier because several friends from the real world traveled over and helped her level up.
Now that she was alone on this task, she was suddenly at a loss.
"You haven't experienced enough. See ghosts a few more times, and you'll get used to it."
Jiang Qiao encouraged him.
"Rowan, go out and buy some food, and while you're at it, gather some information. It would be best if you could get a computer or phone with internet access."
"The female ghost doesn't take holidays. Just because we weren't attacked last night doesn't mean those young people are safe and sound."
The man with the wrench quickly agreed and hurried out of the room.
"We'll make further plans after Rowan returns."
Jiang Qiao glanced at the others, took out the map he had bought on the roadside yesterday, and began to study today's route.
He still intends to stick to the principle of staying away.
When you're running for your life, you don't need to be in first place; you just need to be faster than the person in last place.
The others looked at each other and had no objections.
Even Li Xin didn't have a good solution when facing a vengeful ghost of this level.
Jiang Qiao carefully examined the city layout on the map.
Soon, his gaze fell upon a temple on the outskirts of the city.
"Logically speaking, if a world has vengeful ghosts, then there should be people who deal with them."
"Extraordinary power has a corresponding basis; otherwise, it would be difficult for human society to maintain stability."
"Although this world may be fake, it seems to operate on the same logic as the real world."
"Perhaps we should go and take a look."
While he was thinking, he drew a circle on it with a pen.
...
An hour later.
The repairman returned with a hot breakfast.
There were steamed buns, fried dough sticks, porridge, soy milk, and spicy strips that Jiangqiao specifically requested.
The crowd immediately gathered around.
(8) BOoK. COM
Although Tianye and Liu Qian have become Awakened, their bodies are still those of normal people, and they need to eat, drink, and sleep every day.
The three veterans, including Baldy, didn't need to eat.
But not needing to eat doesn't mean you can't eat!
Just like Jiang Qiao, he wouldn't die even if he didn't eat or drink for a month, but he still had to eat three meals a day without interruption!
I want to eat snacks too!
If life were without food and drink, it would feel like half of life was missing.
"Mr. Wang, here is the phone you requested."
"I bought it from a street stall and asked the owner to give me a phone card."
Luo Wen handed him a cell phone.
Jiang Qiao nodded.
I picked up my phone and started searching for some keywords on the web.
soon.
Some bits and pieces of information appeared before his eyes.
He looked at it and organized it at the same time.
"Two murders occurred last night at the Jinma Hotel in the old town."
"A guest saw a dent in the top of the elevator car and blood dripping down while riding the elevator, and was so frightened that he immediately called the police."
"After the personnel arrived, they cordoned off the scene and found a twisted and deformed body on the top of the elevator. After a forensic autopsy, they found a complete black cat carcass inside its intestines."
"But strangely, there were no signs of cutting or suturing in the deceased's intestines, nor any signs of compression."
"Therefore, we cannot yet know how the murderer put the cat in there."
"After the body was discovered, the authorities searched the hotel. And in the bathroom of room 304, another deformed body was found."
"The body was found in the toilet drain, and it looked like it had been forced in like a sausage."
"We learned from the hotel that room 304, where the two victims were located, was previously occupied by eight people, all of them young men. But the remaining six have disappeared after the murders."
...
Two heinous murders occurred in this small town, both in the same location, sparking considerable discussion.
It seems there is no such thing as a 404 error here.
The relevant authorities have only done some reassuring work.
Two people died.
Jiang Qiao frowned as he looked at the compiled information.
He didn't care how those two died.
Ordinary people might find their deaths horrific and bizarre, but for the awakened ones, there's nothing strange about it.
Doesn't Jiang Qiao often use his masonry skills to stuff people into walls, leaving only their buttocks exposed?
What he was really concerned about was that two people had died in one night!
At this rate of consumption, eight people can only last for four days.
This is without increasing the death toll.
"He died too quickly."
"Seven days is probably not enough to make it through."
Jiang Qiao felt somewhat helpless.
A bunch of useless people, they can't help at all except as expendable resources.
Now he can only be prepared to face Miss Jia at any time.
fortunately.
It was previously discovered that the female ghost was not the complete ghost story, and seemed to be still in the process of transformation.
In this situation, given his actual combat strength, which is close to that of a sixth-tier fighter, it's not impossible for him to put up a fight.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been confident of saving even one or two people.
After all, the real rule of the bizarre is instant kill for anyone below the sixth rank!
There was no chance of resistance.
"Eat quickly, and then we'll leave."
"It's not safe anymore."
Jiang Qiao put down his phone and said calmly.
The Jinma Hotel wasn't too far from the hotel where they were staying.
If the young people run away today, they may very well get ahead of them.

"We need to find a safe place now."
Do you have any good suggestions?
Inside an underground shopping mall, Zhang Yin and his companions sat in chairs, warily observing their surroundings.
They now have to evade not only the vengeful ghosts, but also deal with the pursuit from the local government.
"Damn vengeful ghost."
The only fat man in the group cursed with a gloomy expression.
They experienced unimaginable horror last night!
First, hotel staff knocked on the door and told them that their companion had died in the elevator.
When they went downstairs to check, they had only taken a few steps when Xiao Lu realized he had forgotten his weapon, so he turned back to get it.
They were worried that it might be unsafe to leave Xiao Lu alone in the back, so they stood outside the door to wait for him.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Lu didn't come out for several minutes.
Sensing something was wrong, Zhang Yin immediately led his men inside.
They searched the entire house but couldn't find Xiao Lu.
Finally, they smelled a strong stench of blood in the toilet.
The implications of this situation are self-evident.
Just a few minutes later, the vengeful ghost reappeared and killed Xiao Lu!
Everyone was immediately gripped by fear.
I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.
Just then, a large group of footsteps came from outside the door.
It sounded like quite a few people were heading towards them.
Meanwhile, the sound of police sirens downstairs increased from one to multiple.
No need to ask, it must be officials who have arrived!
"We have no identification. Once we are taken away by the authorities, it will be very difficult for us to leave."
"If the female ghost comes knocking on our door, we'll be trapped like turtles in a jar."
"Of course, with our strength, we might be able to force our way out of the official departments, but why bother? Why not leave sooner?"
After a quick thought, Zhang Yin decided to lead a group of people to escape through the window.
This also led to them quickly being placed on the wanted list!
"I looked at the map, and there's a temple in the northeast of this city."
"Perhaps we can go there and take a look."
A young man holding a map pointed to an area on the outskirts of the city, with the words "Luohan Temple" written on it.
"This world has vengeful ghosts, and perhaps it also has masters who can exorcise demons."
"I think we can give it a try."
After hearing this, Zhang Yin took the map and began to ponder the area carefully.
"We have nowhere else to go right now, so we might as well give it a try."
The fat man next to him agreed.
"You can give it a try, but don't have too high hopes."
Zhang Yin put down the map and said calmly.
"When we left the haunted house, we saw that most of the houses nearby were already empty."
"This means that the haunting of that house is no secret in the neighborhood, and it's very likely that it caused quite a stir. Otherwise, how could all the neighbors have moved away from such a nice place?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So here's the question: If your neighbor's house is haunted, would you move immediately?"
"At least for me, I'll first see if there's any way to exorcise the ghost."
"As the only temple in the area, Luohan Temple will likely become the place where everyone seeks help."
"But this vengeful ghost still exists."
"This means that the temple has no way to deal with the female ghost."
"The residents eventually had no choice but to move out."
Upon hearing Zhang Yin's words, the crowd, who had thought they had found a lifeline, immediately deflated.
"No matter what, there's no harm in trying; it's better than waiting to die here."
The fat man frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
At times like these, the most important thing for the team is to give them hope, not to dampen their enthusiasm.
"Yes, it is indeed better than staying here. I'm just telling everyone to be mentally prepared, so that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
8вOOk. cОм
Zhang Yin didn't care about the fat man's attitude.
After saying that, he stuffed the map into his backpack, stood up, and walked out of the underground shopping mall.
The group quickly followed.
The fat man opened his mouth, then snorted coldly and followed at the back.
...
Official departments.
Forensic clinic.
This is a room of about 30 square meters. From the dissection table in the middle to the cabinets around it, everything is made of stainless steel, giving it a cold and impersonal feel.
Even just standing in this room, an ordinary person would feel a sense of oppression.
After working all night, Song Xiaohua stretched and skillfully stitched up the corpse in front of her. On the workbench next to her, there was a black cat in a container.
This was definitely the strangest thing he had ever encountered in his career.
There was a cat inside the intestines of this corpse!
This is outrageous!
It's important to know that, after his examination, there were no wounds on the corpse, which meant that the cat could not have been surgically inserted into the intestines.
He then examined the deceased's anus, but found no injuries there either.
This means that it was not injected into the intestines from this location.
But apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other way to put a perfectly healthy cat into a human body!
Surely the cat can't just be born inside someone's belly, right?
Moreover, there are many suspicious points about this corpse, such as the fact that his bones were covered with dense bone spurs.
When Song Xiaohua was watching the dissection, it gave her goosebumps.
I almost developed trypophobia from it.
"Is this even human?"
Just looking at those bone spurs made him feel pain.
Could this be bone hyperplasia?
But I've never heard of such a large amount of hyperplasia.
In comparison, the second corpse that was delivered yesterday, although it looked more gruesome, at least didn't have these messy things inside its body.
The corpse looked like it had been crushed and was no longer recognizable as human.
I heard it was found in the toilet drain.
"That's really strange."
Song Xiaohua shook her head and prepared to put the body into the freezer.
He needs to fill out a report.
Just then, he seemed to hear a strange cry coming from the workbench next to him.
"Meow--"
The sound was shrill, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Holy crap?"
The sudden sound startled Song Xiaohua, who nearly knocked over several bottles nearby.
He turned around and noticed that the cat, which had been placed on the steel plate, seemed to have moved slightly.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Could he not be dead?"
Song Xiaohua walked over with a puzzled look and fiddled with it in her hand.
There was no response.
This cat is as dead as can be.
Moreover, he could even smell an unpleasant odor, indicating that the corpse had begun to decompose.
"This cat has been dead for several days."
"How could he possibly be alive?"
Song Xiaohua gave a wry smile and blinked her slightly sore eyes.
"Looks like I need to get some rest; I was too tired last night."
"Bang bang bang"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
A middle-aged man's voice rang out from outside the door:
"Xiao Song, how's the situation?"
8Book.com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Team Leader Zhao.
Song Xiaohua opened the door.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face and wearing a uniform stood outside.
"Xiao Song, you worked hard last night."
"Any new discoveries regarding the two deceased?"
The middle-aged man walked in and asked the question directly.
"Same as last night. Apart from the cat and the bone spurs all over its body, there are no new discoveries."
"Preliminary assessment suggests that he fell into the elevator shaft and died."
Song Xiaohua answered with a serious expression.
This conclusion is exactly the same as last night's.
However, both he and Captain Zhao knew that this was absolutely impossible!
Because all elevator entrances are equipped with surveillance cameras, there have never been instances where the elevator car did not arrive after the elevator doors opened.
Not only that.
They also discovered from the surveillance footage that five minutes before the man died, he walked from the lobby into the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor.
In the elevator surveillance footage, he successfully reached the third floor and left the elevator car.
But strangely enough...
There are images of him leaving inside the elevator, but the surveillance cameras outside the elevator don't show him walking out of the elevator!
Five minutes later, he mysteriously appeared at the top of the elevator.
It appears that he fell from the elevator shaft.
However, based on the degree of the depression in the elevator car ceiling, the relevant authorities did some calculations and found that it would take at least a dozen stories to break it out!
And this building only has nine floors!
Furthermore, this elevator only goes up to the fifth floor at most.
"What about the other deceased?"
Team Leader Zhao then inquired about the body that had been pulled out of the toilet.
That really opened his eyes.
He has been in this industry for over ten years and considers himself to be very knowledgeable.
It's not unheard of for dismemberment to be thrown down the sewer.
But this is the first time I've ever seen a whole person crammed into a toilet drain!
He couldn't even imagine how he did it.
Humans have a skeleton; they're not mollusks!
Even a mollusk, a person that big, couldn't possibly fit into such a small passage!
"No other injuries have been found so far; it appears that he was crushed to death."
"Moreover, this person was in the pipe and should have been alive for several minutes."
Song Xiaohua smacked her lips, somewhat incredulous.
But that's the result of the examination.
"I heard they had six accomplices. Have they been found?"
The case has alarmed the entire city and is being talked about everywhere.
Photos of Zhang Yin and others have been plastered all over the streets.
Unfortunately, because the faces were all captured from surveillance footage, they appear somewhat distorted.
No.
Team Leader Zhao shook his head, then said in a somewhat serious tone:
"These people seem to have appeared out of thin air; they have no identification information whatsoever."
"I suspect they are illegal immigrants."
"That makes things difficult." Song Xiaohua also frowned.
Currently, the only way to get to this city is by taking the long-distance bus that runs at noon every day.
But occasionally, people from outside the city will sneak in through other means.
After all, the border area of this city is quite long.
"Perhaps we could send letters to other cities requesting assistance, to see if they have any information about these individuals?"
Song Xiaohua offered her opinion.
"never mind."
Without a second thought, Team Leader Zhao rejected the idea outright.
While the two were chatting idly.
Suddenly, a "click" sound came from the dissection table.
The two looked in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, they saw that the corpse that had been placed on the dissection table had changed from lying on its back to lying on its side!
It's like sleeping in one position for too long, so you change positions.
But this is a corpse!
Inside the forensic room, there was no one else besides the two of them!
So, who moved the body?
8Вооk.Сом
"ah--"
The sudden turn of events sent chills down their spines.
Captain Zhang instantly drew his pistol from his waist and aimed it at the corpse, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He sensed a chilling aura lingering nearby.
"What...what's going on?"
Song Xiaohua stared intently at the deceased's back, where the exposed skin was now covered with a dense array of wounds.
These wounds are so deep that the bone is visible, as if they were torn out by something!
However, he clearly remembered that the corpse's back was smooth and had no wounds at all!
"Leave first."
Zhao shouted in a low voice and quickly pulled Song Xiaohua away from the forensic office.
Stepping outside, the two breathed a sigh of relief as they watched their colleagues gradually arriving at work in the corridor.
"This matter is beyond our capabilities."
After a long silence, Captain Zhao spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"I should have thought of that last night."
"It was my carelessness."
"I wasn't in charge back then, and since nothing had happened for so many years, I became complacent."
"Report it."
...
I've had breakfast.
Jiang Qiao began assigning tasks.
"Bald guy, it's your turn to perform."
"Go out and get a car later, preferably an SUV."
Jiang Qiao gave the order without any hesitation.
Where am I supposed to get a car?
"Do you think I'm God, that I can have whatever I want?"
"Bald Dragon Brother said angrily."
"I think you're more reliable than God here."
Jiang Qiao smiled.
However, there was no smile in his eyes.
"You can choose not to follow my instructions, but I can't guarantee what will happen next."
"I believe that the female ghost would be happy to see a person with missing limbs."
"That would save a lot of effort."
Jiang Qiao spoke softly, but what he said sent chills down the bald man's spine.
He had no doubt that if he didn't follow the other party's arrangements, dying on the spot would be the least of his worries; they would probably really leave him here to delay the female ghost.
Thinking of this, his face turned pale. He dared not say anything more and hurriedly left.
"What's wrong with this person?"
Jiang Qiao watched his retreating figure, her brows furrowing slightly.
Is it really that serious?
This bald guy looks like a tough guy.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so insensitive.
If they continue to be tough, that's fine.
But every time, they would resist at first, but would immediately obey after being threatened even slightly.
He acts like a primary school student.
Something's not right.
Jiang Qiao originally wanted to torture him last night.
However, seeing how diligently he guarded against the female ghost, he ultimately did not take action.
It seems that traditional crafts should not be abandoned.
Torture should still be carried out.
"You guys..." Jiang Qiao waved his hand, just about to continue assigning tasks.
Suddenly, a clanging sound came from outside the window.
It sounded like someone was ringing a bell.
"Did any of you hang wind chimes?"
Jiang Qiao asked a question instinctively.
But then he realized something was wrong.
Because he smelled a faint scent of blood.
"not good!"
Jiang Qiao suddenly stood up, and the "evil spirit cleaver" instantly appeared in his hand.
At that moment, outside the window, a woman, pale and swollen all over, was slowly hanging upside down, head down.
Those empty, lifeless eyes stared intently at the crowd.

They came knocking on our door so early in the morning?"
Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, staring intently at the woman slowly hanging upside down outside the window.
He didn't know if the vengeful ghost had randomly killed them or if the group of young people who had been haunted had run away.
Or rather, has the enemy been completely wiped out?
But whatever the situation, all we can do now is try to bump into it.
He gripped the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, a gray glint constantly shifting in his eyes.
If this female ghost dares to come in, he will immediately activate the Ghost Realm to slow her down, and then use the evil spirit cleaver to chop her into eight pieces!
The slowing effect of the Ghost Realm has already been demonstrated on a fifth-tier peak vengeful ghost.
The kitchen knife, in particular, deals damage at the sixth tier.
He refused to believe that this combination would have no effect whatsoever on this vengeful ghost, which hadn't yet fully become a legend!
The room was quiet at that moment.
Whether it was veteran Li Xin or newcomer Liu Qian, they all stared wide-eyed, their faces showing shock.
The aura emanating from this vengeful ghost made them feel like a small boat adrift on a vast ocean, on the verge of being destroyed at any moment.
All efforts are in vain!
Li Xin tried her best to support her body, but she couldn't stop the fear in her heart.
This fear, like a suppression of blood, is a feeling that comes from instinct.
Just like a half-grown tabby cat, it can also intimidate a group of mice!
What's more, this isn't a tabby cat, but a tiger. And facing this tiger, they are weaker than mice.
"No wonder the mission only requires us to survive for seven days."
Li Xin gritted his teeth, supporting his body, and gained a deeper understanding of the mission.
How could he possibly contend with such a vengeful ghost!
Yesterday, because of the distance between them, although he was shaken, he felt afterwards that it was because he was unprepared.
He felt that if he was prepared, even if he was outmatched, escaping should not be a problem.
But now that the female ghost has come knocking on his door, he realizes that he was too naive!
"Just what kind of strength does this Jiang Qiao possess?"
"He can actually stand up to a female ghost!"
Li Xin then turned his gaze to the river bridge beside him, feeling even more terrified than if he had encountered a female ghost.
He himself was only at the third rank, and he had no ability to resist the female ghost.
But this man was actually able to stand up to the female ghost!
Could he be a fourth-order being?
"No, a fourth-tier being is far inferior to this female ghost."
"Being able to stand up to a female ghost means you're definitely more than just a fourth-tier being."
He observed carefully and found that the female ghost's aura was very similar to that of the village chief when he was fully mobilizing the power of the sacrificial spirits.
And the village chief in this state—
A terrifying number flashed through his mind, and an incredulous expression returned to his face.
He couldn't believe it, but he had no choice but to believe it.
"Fifth rank!"
He was deeply shocked.
"How could such a legendary figure appear in a survival mission!"
Although he couldn't detect any aura from Jiang Qiao, that was precisely what made him all the more terrifying.
This means that Jiang Qiao held his own against the female ghost, and was even in a very comfortable position!
Otherwise, where would he get the strength to hide and conceal his aura?
"Incredible."
"Incredible."
...
Jiang Qiao had no idea that in just one minute, Li Xin's mental activity had gone on a rapid pace.
He gripped the kitchen knife, his muscles tense, ready to unleash a fierce strike at any moment!
8. BOOK·COM
The female ghost was now hanging upside down outside the window.
Her face was pressed tightly against the glass, and blood was flowing from her mouth, nose, ears, and eyes.
Blood trickled down the glass, leaving streaks.
As the bloodstains increased, her face slowly seeped into the glass, appearing on the indoor side.
"I'll cut off your head first!"
Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Qiao revealed a cruel smile, and a gray light emanated from his eyes, enveloping the slowly emerging face.
At the same time, he vanished from his spot in a flash, and the next moment, he was already standing by the window, the kitchen knife in his hand suddenly slashing down!
"puff--"
As expected, a spurt of blood gushed out.
The head that had already entered the room was chopped off.
However, Jiang Qiao felt no joy.
Because he discovered that after the head fell to the ground, it did not exude any ghostly aura.
"This is a human head!"
Realizing he had been tricked, before he could react, a terrifying sense of death enveloped him.
A shadow fell over his shadow on the ground. He looked up at the ceiling and in that instant, the upper body of one of the dolls on his body mysteriously disappeared.
"court death!"
Jiang Qiao roared angrily and unleashed his Lightning Thunder Fist!
Boom!
With a loud crash, a strange woman's hand fell to the ground and began to wriggle rapidly, rushing towards Jiang Qiao like an insect!
"Fuck you!"
What greeted this palm was a brick!
The dark blue bricks are covered with moss, clearly showing signs of weathering and bearing the marks of time.
However, this seemingly ordinary brick once blocked several waves of attacks from Jiang Qiao in Nightmare City!
at this time.
The hand had already crawled along the ground to Jiang Qiao's front.
"Smack!"
With a loud crash, Jiang Qiao slammed his hand down, landing squarely on the palm of his hand!
"ah--"
With a heart-wrenching scream, the hand immediately stopped moving.
Black blood began to flow from where its wrist had broken off.
Jiang Qiao immediately stepped back, not daring to touch the blood, fearing it might contain a curse.
"If incomplete ghost stories are this troublesome, how terrifying must real ghost stories be?"
Jiang Qiao squinted, looking around. He knew the female ghost was still there!
None of the vengeful spirits he had encountered before, not even the fifth-tier vengeful spirits during the "supernatural village lockdown," had ever made him feel this difficult to deal with.
Many weaker ghosts would even be severely injured by the counter-attack storm simply because they attacked him!
However, this female ghost not only had no effect on the counter-damage storm, but the damage reduction effect of her invincibility also seemed to have lost its function.
The attack just now caused a shadow to cover half of his body, and his upper body simply disappeared!
If it weren't for his talent for the Life Substitution Technique, he would have been dead and his body torn to pieces.
Suddenly, the entire room went dark.
A faint, eerie wail began to echo in the room.
"They're here!"
"Still up there!"
Jiang Qiao looked up and saw a dense array of women's hair on the ceiling.
The hair was tangled together like a spider web, greasy and smelly, and seemed to be stuck with rotting scalp.
"Miss Ga in the movie didn't have hair as dirty as yours."
Jiang Qiao saw something moving rapidly beneath the layers of hair.
⑧BOOK.com

A mournful, eerie cry came from the hair that covered the entire ceiling.
The crying was barely audible at first, then gradually grew louder, eventually filling the entire room.
Of the people nearby, only Li Xin was able to hold on; the others gradually succumbed to a daze amidst their sobs.
Jiang Qiao could clearly feel that their body temperature was starting to drop.
"We can't let it keep crying, or these guys will all cry themselves to death."
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao crossed his arms, and a faint green flame appeared in his palms.
White Bone Fire!
This is something Jiang Qiao knows for sure: a talent that will allow him to burn ghost stories in the future.
Although she is only at the fourth level now, this female ghost has not yet become a real ghost story.
So his intuition told him that the fire was useful!
And at the same time.
From within that thick hair, a dozen or so pale, disheveled women emerged, hanging upside down on the hair like spiders.
Upon seeing the firelight, they immediately started making clucking noises and quickly crawled towards the river bridge!
Jiang Qiao was fearless, his body wreathed in flames, and he quickly pounced on the female ghost!
A chilling, eerie current spread along with the firelight.
The originally dim environment suddenly brightened, and it seemed that something invisible to the naked eye in the air had been cleared away!
The eyes of the few people who had been in a daze and whose vital signs were declining slowly regained their sparkle.
at this time.
The raging flames had already engulfed the female ghost in mid-air.
Not only that, the flames followed the female ghost all the way to the ceiling, igniting that strange patch of hair!
The white bone fire seemed to have found fuel, and it burned fiercely, quickly engulfing the entire room.
Apart from Jiang Qiao and the few people he was protecting behind him, the room was filled with only blinding green light and a bone-chilling cold.
a long time.
The flames slowly died down.
"Is it resolved?"
Jiang Qiao cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
After being ravaged by the White Bone Fire, the rooms in this star-rated hotel have lost their original colors.
Unlike ordinary flames that burn to ruins, the White Bone Fire is a type of Yin Fire and did not burn the room to ashes.
However, it felt as if twenty years had passed in the entire room at that moment.
The walls were mottled, the furniture was old and cracked, and even the metal parts in the room were rusty.
A musty, rotten smell filled the air.
"This is the first time I've used the White Bone Fire at full power."
Jiang Qiao took a few breaths.
"However, the results seem to be quite good."
He scanned the surroundings again but found no trace of the female ghost.
However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to leave first.
"Get up, everyone, get ready to go."
Jiang Qiao shouted to the crowd while throwing a pile of money into the room.
Since damage was caused, compensation should be paid.
Anyway, this money is useless.
"Has the female ghost been dealt with?"
After Li Xin pulled his companion up from the ground, he asked cautiously.
If he wasn't mistaken, Jiang Qiao had just displayed at least three abilities!
Gray aura, lightning, flames!
Three Awakened Ones!
This discovery left him reeling.
He never expected that such a powerful figure would appear in a survival mission!
What does it mean to be a triple awakener who is suspected to be at the fifth tier?
Such powerful individuals are absolutely at the top level in the entire supernatural world!
Compared to that, it's not surprising that a big shot has at least two supernatural items.
After all, he's a fifth-tier expert!
"have no idea."
Jiang Qiao squinted slightly.
He didn't see any trace of the female ghost, but some intuition told him that she was still in the house.
Suddenly.
He saw blood seeping from the cracks in the floorboards in the corner.
The blood slowly spread across the ground, and within it, venomous faces writhed and became increasingly clear.

"It's still there after all."
Jiang Qiao observed these faces and found that they became clearer and clearer, eventually transforming into his own appearance!
"Damn it!"
Realizing something was wrong, Jiang Qiao immediately stopped watching and quickly backed away.
But it was too late.
The next moment, cracks, like broken porcelain, appeared on the faces of these strange people.
At that moment, Jiang Qiao felt a sharp pain on his face.
But it soon returned to normal.
However, the substitute doll on his body had its head shattered.
"What a troublesome thing!"
Having died once again, Jiang Qiao quickly retreated to avoid looking at the faces on the ground.
"The way this female ghost kills people is different from that in the movie, but many of her abilities are very similar."
"For example, the ability to create clones."
Recalling scenes from the movie.
The densely packed Kayako-sans on the playground left a deep impression on him during his childhood.
Even with his current strength, he "died" twice when facing this female ghost.
How could ordinary people possibly stand up to them?
"Staying here is a waste of time."
He wasn't going to get entangled with the female ghost anymore. After this encounter, he realized that he could indeed fight this vengeful spirit, but it would be too disadvantageous.
It's meaningless.
"Leave first!"
Jiang Qiao roared at the crowd again.
"good."
Li Xin and Xue Lan, who had already come to their senses, helped the three newlyweds to the door.
Upon hearing Jiang Qiao's words, he immediately set off towards the nearby safety passage.
As they walked along the last river bridge, seeing more and more bloodstains on the ground, they set the room on fire.
He discovered that the White Bone Fire did indeed have some effect on the female ghost.
However, this effect is insufficient to harm the female ghost's essence.
But let's try to delay as much as possible.
We'll figure out the rest later.
...
The group left the hotel.
Throughout this time, Jiang Qiao remained vigilant about his surroundings.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he realized that the female ghost hadn't followed.
This battle was probably the most difficult one he had ever faced since his debut!
He used most of his trump cards and the strongest attack methods he could currently employ.
However, it only managed to stop the female ghost for a moment.
There's no way to defeat them!
"If this thing becomes a ghost story, it would probably be one of the more powerful ones."
He recalled the strange rules he encountered in the simulator.
The abilities to discover other ghost stories are relatively limited, and there has never been a case of a female ghost with such multiple talents.
The female ghost gave him a feeling that was more like a hellish fairy tale!
However, the fairy tale of hell will not disappear from the perspective of double pupils.
The female ghost was clearly reduced to a mere outline; though not completely vanished like in real ghost stories, it was nearly gone.
"This damn thing is really giving me a headache."
Jiang Qiao's expression was extremely solemn.
"It's said that after reaching the sixth rank, one can escape the rule-based supernatural tales. But how exactly does one do that?"
He suddenly remembered a piece of information he had learned from the simulator.
Once your strength reaches the sixth rank, the strange tales can no longer kill you.
"What's different about the sixth tier?"
Jiang Qiao was somewhat puzzled.
Although he reached the sixth or even seventh order in the simulation.
However, the confrontation with ghost stories is often glossed over without much detail.
"I wish the emulator still worked."
I glanced at the red interface.
The emulator update is currently at 85%.
This made Jiang Qiao inwardly scream "RNM!"
