of the bathroom and went straight to the study.I retreated back to the living room and whispered, "Since both of you are watching, I'll relax for a bit.""Hmph, Little Empress, don't worry. Leave it to...My hallucinations have been going on for more than a day or two. Ever since I did that thing with Mu Wanchen, I seem to hear strange noises all the time.

Recently, it's been like someone whispering in my ear, and that feeling is really unsettling.

It's very bad, it feels like something is always following me, watching me every second.

"Dragon… that is, someone told me to run away quickly. Should we leave now" I hesitated and asked Dragon.

He hastily drew a few talisman papers, very simple ones, all covered in his blood, and he also gave me a few.

I clutched the corner of the talisman, staring at the un-dried bloodstains on it. A shiver ran down my spine, and I couldn't help but ask, "How much blood do you have left for casting spells... This method is too horrifying! Aren't there any more ordinary ways"

Long Xiao coldly smiled and said, "Ordinary It's not dealing with ordinary demons and ghosts... These things, we are experts, of course we know what they like best and what they fear most..."

He spoke in a way I didn't quite understand. I carefully rolled up the talisman with the bloodstains, and asked, "How do I use these talismans"

“You possess spiritual energy, you can activate talismans with no problem, just remember a few locations - the center of your forehead, your chest, your spine, your palms, and the soles of your feet.”

"Do you want a sticker" I asked.

"Well, to put it simply, a Corpse Ghost is a body whose soul hasn't fully dispersed, driven by dark magic. To deal with these things, you just need to temporarily seal their forehead with cinnabar talismans… We don't have the means to subdue them right now, so escaping is all we can do."

He said it casually, but I heard it with wide eyes.

"You, you mean..."

He sneered: "Miss Yin, I will do my best to protect you, but you also need to protect yourself. How to deal with zombies, I have already taught you."

I clutched the talisman, frozen in place, before finally coming to my senses.

"Just now, that figure by the trees...it's, it's a walking corpse!"

Long Xiao coldly smiled and said, “This village, men suddenly disappeared, the elderly suddenly disappeared, only women and children remain. Why”

I shook my head, I don't know why Probably because men go out to work and earn money, it's normal for empty nests to be serious in such remote areas.

“...Old Zhang said that it hadn't been this strange half a year ago, which means something must have happened to the people here and this forest in the past six months.” Long Xiao said solemnly: “I noticed the strange aura when I saw figures at the edge of the forest... This is the smell emitted by specially treated corpses.”

“Then let's go!” I looked around nervously.

This is a lumber yard surrounded by wire and wooden fences. All around are dense forests. After hearing what Long Ge said, I felt that the depths of this old forest were practically a gathering place for demons and ghosts.

"This forest is vast, even if we escape, we must remain cautious, for we never know when a corpse might emerge to attack the living." Long Xiao reminded.

I nodded, my hands nervously twisting together.

A gust of wind swept across the edge of the forest, and the leaves of the ancient trees rustled noisily, making me more and more anxious.

"Um, I wonder if Old Zhang has been in there too long The house hasn't collapsed, why hasn't he come out yet" I asked anxiously.

Long Xiaoge frowned and pondered for a moment: “I’ll go take a look.”

" ...Don't leave me here alone! I-I-I, I'm going with you too." My whole body was covered in goosebumps.

Let me stand alone in this vast, dilapidated lumber mill, before the house that's fallen halfway No, I wouldn't, I'd rather take a risk.

Long Xiaogē nodded, then turned and jumped into Lao Zhang's room.

I hurried to catch up, and that voice in my ear appeared again —

"... Be careful."

Be careful

"Who are you" I whispered, covering my ears.

There was no sound in answer to me.

I was puzzled, what's so worried about me Always reminding me to be careful, run fast, don't wander around... More nervous than my family.

And that voice… I really couldn't tell if it was male or female, it was very ethereal, and it suddenly sounded in my ear, for just a split second, I couldn't hear if it was young or old, man or woman.

Long Xiaoge turned to look at me: "Keep up."

I shook my head and followed Long Xiaogē down the stairs to the basement.

Here, half of it has collapsed. The wind from the logging camp blew in, making it very desolate.

Why is it like this Lao Lin still has to come and move what property

Is wealth more important than life

Or perhaps, his overconfidence blinded him. He believed he could bring all his assets back home safely and never return to this place again.

This place is not too far from our country's border, if the road conditions are good, it doesn't take more than ten hours to get there. I even saw some RMB on the ground, which means that people here can still use RMB as currency.

The basement was two floors down, with a heavy, intricately carved wooden door made of red wood. It was tightly shut at this time.

As soon as I saw the door, I grabbed Long Xiaoge's sleeve and shook my head frantically: "Don't... don't go through... I feel something's wrong, like there's something behind the door..."

Long Xiaoge frowned deeply: "Then let's go, this person's life and death have nothing to do with us."

"...But... our car is almost out of gas. If we can't hitch a ride with him, do we have to walk through the old forest Didn't you say there were problems in the old forest" I asked in a low voice.

" ......Where's his car We just need the car keys," said Long Xiaogē, squinting his eyes.

"The key must be on him."

"Tsk." He let out a displeased tsk. "We still need to open it, whether he's dead or alive, whatever the problem is. As long as we get the key, we leave."

I swallowed hard. Long Xiaoge was a cold and ruthless man.

In this situation, we are struggling to save ourselves, let alone help others. It would be like digging our own graves.

But I still hope to save them, after all, they are all lives.

I quietly raised my hand, crossing the index and middle fingers, the ring and pinky fingers, opening the center point, pinching Yinwen with my thumb... I don't know if it's right or not. My young mistress is so gentle and tender, she's not a qualified teacher at all. The methods she taught me, I've never even tried them myself.

"The Shackle Ghost Technique" Long Xiao glanced at my finger technique, his lips moving slightly as he whispered in a hushed voice.

I nodded, and he frowned slightly, then suddenly asked me, "How do you know what's behind the door"

Huh

I was taken aback: "Feeling"

He squinted at me in the dim light, then turned his head to open the door, saying softly, "If your feelings are true, then you could be a priest of the tribe within the Mi Jiang Dharma Gate."

My mind immediately conjured up the image of Si Huang wearing a mask, his haughty demeanor. I quickly shook my head —h money in the bank. Why can't we donate some" I looked at Jun Senior Brother with a pleading expression."What do you want to do""The members of the Witch clan are still gathering supplies, I have to...
