The girl in gray robe suddenly felt a chill. Her hand holding the knife trembled slightly. Even though there was no one in front of her, she still felt a strange sense of oppression.
The leaves in the forest are slowly falling.
The two stood there for a long time, making no move.
"I remember you. You were in that room at that time. Are you from Mr. Zhang Si's side?"
Yi Yan was the first to break the stalemate. He did not feel any killing intent from the girl and said.
"I am a sacrifice just like you."
The girl was silent for a moment and took back the knife. She hesitated for a moment, and then took back the charm hidden in her sleeve.
She didn't want to explore what was causing the oppressive feeling. At this moment, she no longer had any power to fight against the invisible 'thing'.
The breeze blew through the unmatched gray robe, and under the disheveled tawny hair was a tired face that had weathered the weather.
The girl's figure is like a bean sprout, extremely thin, like an object that is about to fall apart at any time.
Loneliness, loneliness, and a strong sense of despair.
Even in the previous life, Ember could only feel this aura on the body of the seriously ill old man.
This feeling of being helpless with fate and losing hope in life.
"May I have your name?"
"Zhang Wanyu," the girl whispered, feeling a little embarrassed about her behavior, and then said
"Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now, because I saw you saved by that weird thing that day, and I thought you were not human."
Yi Yan didn't care and asked, "What is the statue that you just killed and crushed that fierce ghost? Also, why did you call Aunt Zhang and... those two people weird?"
He saw the girl holding the hammer making a silent gesture towards him, and then changed her words.
"You... don't know Master Kong Shun?" Zhang Wanyu looked a little surprised in his eyes and asked in a low voice in disbelief.
Yi Yan shook his head and continued, "I grew up in this village and don't know anything about other places, so I ask you about some things."
"Outside?" She raised her eyebrows. She originally wanted to question Yi Yan's statement, but then she thought, since those weird things didn't kill her, they must be related to Yi Yan, so she simply agreed with his statement.
"Master Kong Shun is a great god. We, the residents of Zhenyang City, are blessed by Master Kong Shun. All food and power come from Master Kong Shun." Zhang Wanyu took out a wooden statue from his arms and handed it to him.
Say it to Ember.
"In the city, people who can use Kong Shun's power are called ghost hunters. Lord Kong Shun likes to eat and suffer. Depending on the degree of our sacrifice, the power we can obtain is also different."
"I sacrificed a day's pain, so I gained a level of Kong Shun's power." Zhang Wanyu held her slightly trembling hand with one hand. It seemed that holding a knife against the embers was her limit.
"Those with stronger physical fitness, those in the Baiyue Ghost Hunters team, can open up to the third level by sacrificing their own internal organs."
Isn't this the power of the evil god?
Yi Yan glanced at Zhang Wanyu and observed the wooden statue in his hand.
The shape is twisted and evil, the bone head looks up at the embers, the wooden eyes are deep and mysterious, like staring into the abyss.
The densely packed ribs on the upper body intersect neatly with the chest, forming four frightened and distorted faces.
Their faces are frightened, struggling to death, suspicious, and looking down in despair.
A huge bone wing covers the body, like a humanoid bat.
Danger!
Yi Yan's pupils shrank, and he didn't even notice that he briefly lost consciousness. When he came back to consciousness again, "Huang Xie Yin Ji Sutra" was running quickly, and the whole world changed again.
The blood-red sky was dimly covered with thunder and lightning, and in the endless dark abyss deep in the embers, I looked up at the only light.
In the sky above the end of the abyss, a goat-horned demon the size of a mountain range was staring at him.
The next moment, the world returned to normal again, and the wood carvings were still wood carvings, without any changes.
"this...."
Yu Yan was still frightened, and after reacting, he immediately handed the statue of Kong Shu to Zhang Wanyu, and decided not to touch it again.
If it hadn't been for the Huang Xie Yinji Sutra, I don't know what the huge ram-horned monster would have done.
"Huh? Brother Jin, you finally woke up!"
An excited voice spread in the forest not far away. Yi Yan turned around and saw Wang Hu running towards this side carrying an iron pot.
"We have been waiting for a few days. Zhang Wanyu was planning to leave today, but he couldn't resist me and insisted on waiting for you to wake up."
Wang Hu handed the kettle to Yi Yan and said.
The gaze just now made Huan Yan exert a lot of effort. His throat was a little dry, so he took the kettle and drank heavily.
It wasn't until the pot of water was drained that the thirst gradually subsided.
"This way." Wang Hu glanced at Zhang Wanyu who was squatting next to the boulder, motioned to Yi Yan to leave with him, and pulled him not far away.
"Brother Jin, it seems that we have truly arrived in an incredible world."
Wang Hu looked solemn and had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well in the past few days, and his overall aura seemed to be quite sluggish.
"Don't worry, speak slowly." Yi Yan sat on the ground. He had long understood that they might no longer be alive, and patiently listened to Wang Hu's various information.
"First of all, our situation..."
Wang Hu was very anxious. He was the kind of talkative person in school. What he learned from Zhang Wanyu was hard for him to accept, and he couldn't wait to share his uneasiness.
This world is the same as what Yi Yan observed in the grotto. There are no gods and Buddhas here, there is no food, and humans are just like livestock in captivity.
All kinds of ghosts and monsters feed on humans.
Human beings have no way to improve their own strength through practice, and naturally they have no way to deal with those terrifying existences.
Talismans and the power of Kong Shu have become the only means that people can rely on to kill ghosts.
Fortunately, with the blessing of Kong Centi, you can gain points by constantly killing ghosts in this world. These points can be exchanged for corresponding food or equipment from the evil god Kong Centi.
As a result, people built a town, Zhenyang City, with Kong Shun as the highest god, and all existing humans live in Zhenyang City.
It's just that their lives are not very satisfactory, and the various ghost hunter alliances can only save their lives and survive like dogs.
Every time they go on a mission, it is not surprising that ghost hunters suffer many casualties, and even the whole army is wiped out.
Those ordinary people are even more terrified all day long, and they are lucky to be able to survive.
"Brother Jin, after I saw you come in, I was found by the ghost in the mirror. It didn't kill me, but knocked me out."
Wang Hu scratched his head, recalling what happened at that time, and then continued:
"And after I woke up, I had a dream that we grew up in this village. I remember that Lao Yangtou discussed something with you some time ago, about the grottoes."
"I also have the impression... Let's talk about the dream later. It's not a problem for us to stay here now. Zhang Wanyu Kongshun's power has also been used. If another ghost appears, we will probably be wiped out."
Yi Yan smiled and didn't intend to discuss it further. There was a reason for everything.
Because the girl with the hammer has been following the two of them.
Her name is Wang Xiaoli, and she is Yu Jin's childhood sweetheart in this village. They have always had a very good relationship.
But he was confused about the existence of everyone in this village.
The words she talked about while she was in a coma, and who exactly is Wang Xiaoli? Why can't Zhang Wanyu and Wang Hu see her?
Wang Hu looked at Ji Jin who was getting up, thought for a while and said, "By the way, Brother Jin, Zhang Wanyu is going to take us to the town after you wake up. If you have any ideas, you can discuss it with her. She is very interested in us."
No murderous intent”
"I see"
Ember waved his hands, having made up his mind.
He thought about what the old man said to him in the dream.
Shelter, leaving the village, the world is in chaos...
Yi Yan looked up and saw Zhang Wanyu still leaning against the boulder in the same posture, playing with the wood carving in his hands in trance, and said:
"Do you want to go back to town?"
Zhang Wanyu bit her lip, and Yu Yan's words made her suddenly forget her intention to go back.
She looked downcast and replied seriously, "Well, I still have relatives in the city, and I want to go back and see them..."
"Then take us with you. We just want to go to the city and have a look."
Ember's words gave Zhang Wanyu's originally colorless eyes a glimmer of luster. She raised her dusty face and said expectantly
"Really?"
She was worried that when Yi Yan woke up, she would leave with Wang Hu directly, but she couldn't defeat Wang Hu, so she patiently waited here for Yi Yan to wake up.
In addition, the road back to the town is extremely dangerous, and her ability to deal with two ghosts at most is already the limit.
If there are too many, not only will it be impossible to reach the town, but you will also die at the hands of ghosts.
But after the ember personally killed the monster on Master Zhang Si in the room, she saw a glimmer of hope.
"I want to find out some truth in the city, and I have been in the village for a long time, so I have to go out and have a look."
