Judging from the width of the trail, it was estimated that their car could barely fit in, but the front of the trail was completely dark.
Luo Jiutian was already thinking of ways to turn the car in. Xia Hua grabbed the front seat uneasily, sat up straight and asked, "Where is the place in front?"
"It's an orphanage," Luo Jiutian said cheerfully, "It's the place where the fool lived before."
"Orphanage?" The Taoist priest didn't even expect Luo Jiutian to drive here, "But the buildings around here..."
"I chose a small road, which is closer," Luo Jiutian said. "The orphanage is now dilapidated. It is full of messy debris and weeds. It should be safer to hide there."
"Are you familiar with that place?" Xia Hua asked.
"Not familiar with it," the Taoist priest said, "We have only seen its appearance after it was ruined, and only Xiaolan has seen its appearance before."
"Xiaolan, ugh..." Xia Hua sighed, "It would be great if Miss Xiaolan were here. She would definitely be able to enter Zhou Ye's consciousness through dreams and ask him what those black hairs are."
"But Xiaolan can only experience dreams and cannot change them," Luo Jiutian said with a smile, "And Xiaolan usually... can only see dead people in his dreams."
"No." The Taoist priest suddenly spoke.
Everyone was waiting for him to continue speaking, but the Taoist priest just shut up.
A burst of brightness suddenly lit up in front of the car, attracting the attention of Luo Jiutian who still wanted to ask more questions.
"Look, we're here," Luo Jiutian smiled, "It seems the navigation is reliable."
The bright white light ahead was the streetlight on the roadside. The car drove out of the alley and finally came to the main road.
The car stopped in front of the desolate little yard. When getting out of the car, Xia Hua asked, "Should we just park the car here? Is it too obvious?"
"Then how about I drive the car away?" Luo Jiutian said.
"Well...but in this case..."
"No...no need to drive away..." A weak and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
Everyone turned their heads following the sound.
Zhou Ye woke up at some point. He was holding on to the back seat of the car, breathing heavily.
"You're awake," Li Muyuan smiled happily, "It's almost...I guess you will wake up at this time."
Xia Hua and Luo Jiutian quickly came over.
"It didn't leave any sequelae, right?" Luo Jiutian poked Zhou Ye's forehead.
Zhou Ye didn't have the strength to resist, so he just frowned and reluctantly sat up, "I'm fine."
"Usually there won't be any sequelae," Li Muyuan said, "Zhou Ye, try to recall, can you remember what happened before the coma?"
Zhou Ye's eyes became hazy. He did not show any gesture of painful memories, but nodded lightly.
"I can remember."
"Okay, that means there is nothing wrong with your brain," Li Muyuan said, "Then we will ask you questions next."
After speaking, Li Muyuan looked at the others and shrugged.
"Ask me what?" Zhou Ye looked around at the people around him blankly, "What happened?"
"It's like this, we met another strange thing," Xia Hua said, "This thing... can grow countless long hairs, and can find and attack other people through those black hairs."
"Long hair?" Zhou Ye pressed his temples and searched for relevant content in his memory, "I can't think of it...is there any other description?"
"That thing can also make footsteps," Luo Jiutian said. "The first time we heard its footsteps, we didn't see its entity. The second time, its footsteps came from outside the door.
The footsteps are strange, they sound far away, but you clearly know they are approaching..."
With Li Muyuan's help, Zhou Ye sat up straighter.
"Have you seen what that thing really looks like?"
"No... eh, wait a minute," Luo Jiutian raised his index finger and said, "The Taoist priest seems to have seen it before."
Zhou Ye's eyes fell on the Taoist priest.
"Have you seen it?"
"I only saw a black shadow in the distance," the Taoist priest said, "but I guess it's that thing."
"Do you see clearly?"
"No," the Taoist priest shook his head, "I can only tell that it is a human figure."
"It's strange..."
"Have you thought of something?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"I do know something that is a bit similar to your description, but the problem is, there is no way you can see that thing."
"Why?" Xia Hua asked, "What is so special?"
"Because it's not a living thing," Zhou Ye said, "it's a spirit."
"Ling Xi?!"
Everyone was really surprised.
"You all know my ability, right?" Zhou Ye said, "My... former ability."
"I know, I know," Luo Jiutian nodded, "You can control Lingxi."
"Yes," Zhou Ye said, "When we were looking for coffins, we accidentally discovered such a coffin. It is different from human coffins. The entity of this coffin is always hidden under some covers. It
The attack can be achieved by manipulating those coverings, because this kind of spirit tide cannot see the entity at all, so I have not found a way to control this kind of spirit tide. The biggest characteristic of this kind of spirit tide is that it has a particularly strong desire for revenge."
"revenge?"
"Yes," Zhou Ye said, "Think carefully, have you ever provoked it?"
"We didn't either..."
"Ah, Jiutian," Xia Hua suddenly remembered something, "that black dumpling you knocked into the ditch!"
"Black..." Luo Jiutian suddenly thought about it, "I didn't hit it. It was obviously lying under my wheel... This is a collision!"
"Have you ever hit it?" Zhou Ye narrowed his eyes.
"Jiutian bumped into him," the Taoist priest pointed at Luo Jiutian, "So, his current behavior is retaliating against Jiutian?"
"Uh... I guess it can't tell who is driving," Zhou Ye said. "The target of its revenge is probably all of us."
"This... forget it," Xia Hua said, "Zhou Ye, just tell us how we should deal with that guy."
"This is more difficult," Zhou Ye said helplessly, "You have heard that we have not found a way to control that guy."
"You don't know," Luo Jiutian said loudly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you."
Zhou Ye coughed twice in embarrassment and said in a reserved manner, "Originally, I could have provided a few ideas, but since you said so, then I will..."
"Brother Zhou," Luo Jiutian immediately knelt down, "I was joking just now, you don't take it seriously, do you?"
Zhou Ye curled his lips and said, "You just said that the weapon controlled by that thing has black hair?"
