At night, Dai Zhibin was lying on the bed and fell into sleep.
But looking at his expression is not easy. He frowns from time to time, and sometimes even murmurs in a low voice. There are also palm-sized dents on his exposed skin, as if something is poking him in his sleep.
.
If an outsider saw this situation, they would only find it indescribably weird.
But Wen Zhong knew very well that this was a sign of the evil ghost's resurgence.
The more ferocious the ghosts he controls, the faster they will recover. Unless he can control multiple ghosts like him to achieve a supernatural balance, or there are other opportunities, ghost controllers like him will sooner or later die from the ghosts' resurrection.
"Abin, wake up."
Wen Zhong shook Dai Zhibin, who was sleeping soundly. It had to be said that it was a skill to be able to fall asleep in such a horrible place. Otherwise, he would never be able to relax like the other person.
"Yawn, good morning, boss. Where are we going today?"
Dai Zhibin opened his eyes, stretched, and then slowly stood up from the bed, seeming to have completely forgotten that they were still in Baiyang Village, thinking that he had returned to the safe house.
"Thank you for being able to sleep. I'm going to go to the pool in the back mountain. You can monitor Hong Shuangquan and help me keep an eye on the village's movements," Wen Zhong said.
As soon as these words came out, Dai Zhibin patted his head, and he immediately turned from confusion to clarity: "Don't worry, Boss Wen, I will fulfill my mission, stick to my post, and ensure that I complete the task."
Wen Zhong nodded, and then a faint gray light emitted from his body, and then his figure disappeared into the room. When he reappeared, he had arrived at the water pool in the back mountain of Baiyang Village.
Different from the daytime, the temperature here at night became even colder than during the day. I heard a series of bubbles coming from the pool, as if someone was lurking in the pool.
Originally, he wanted to use the Ghost Domain to explore this pool during the day, but because of Hong Shuangquan, he had to give it up temporarily.
"Most of the so-called rumors are groundless, but if what Hong Shuangquan said is true, it means that this pool may be a passage to a supernatural place."
At the same time, it is also very dangerous here.
Combining the words of the middle-aged man Hong Shuangquan during the day and the dragging marks in the grass, we can deduce that there is probably a ghost here.
"Gudu, Gudu——"
Wen Zhong connected to Wang Muyou's walkie-talkie again. Just like during the day, there was still only the endless sound of bubbles coming from the other side.
However, after being connected for a period of time, the sound of bubbles gradually turned into a crisp sound of dripping water, and "tick-tock, tick-tock-" came from the other end of the intercom little by little.
Then, even the sound of dripping water stopped, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence again.
"Wang Muyou, is that you?" Wen Zhong said into the intercom with the attitude of giving it a try.
No one responded.
The indicator light on the walkie-talkie was still on, and the signal was stable without any interference, but there was no sound or response at the other end.
Frowning, Wen Zhong was ready to temporarily interrupt the connection before checking the pool.
"Plop——"
Suddenly, something on the other end of the walkie-talkie seemed to sense Wen Zhong's thoughts. There was a sound of a heavy object falling into the water, as if someone had thrown the walkie-talkie into the pool again, and a series of bubbles sounded again.
"What is going on?" Wen Zhong frowned deeply. Generally speaking, would a ghost pick up this thing? If it met the other party's killing conditions, he would definitely come directly to attack him.
But he is still fine now, not even a ghost can be seen around him.
This means that the person who picked up the walkie-talkie must be a person, a living person, but the other party did not reply for some reason.
Wen Zhong started to think.
Just as he was thinking, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped several degrees, and a cold breath blew in his face along with the wind. Then, a dark palm came out of the pool.
Upon seeing this, Wen Zhong immediately took a step back, narrowing his eyes and staring at the dark palm.
After the palm climbed out, the entire pool became pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like pitch black ink spreading in the water, quickly and completely.
But other than that, there was no other movement on this palm. It just crawled in the grass beside the pool, and there was a very obvious drag mark in the grass.
"No, why does this palm seem to be... pushed up by someone?"
The dark palm made no next move and just stood still. Wen Zhong frowned and reached out with his ghost hand to grab the palm directly.
The pale and stiff ghost hand instantly grasped the dark palm. To his surprise, it was indeed a severed palm that had been pushed up, and it looked somewhat familiar.
"Dai Zhibin!"
Wen Zhong was shocked. This palm was Dai Zhibin's hand, but the burnt black ghost shadow that was originally attached to it had disappeared. Now it was just an ordinary palm, with nothing unusual except for being a little dark.
The next moment, Wen Zhong's ghost hand thrust straight into the pool. No matter what was under there, he would be the first to restrain it.
The water pool that was originally only shallow enough to cover Hong Shuangquan's calves is now like a bottomless pit. Even a ghost with fear and supernatural powers cannot find the bottom at this moment. The entire water pool seems to be connected to the bottom of the sea, like a maze.
"Hiss-"
The sound of flesh tearing was heard, and a thick layer of dark gray velvet mixed with blood covered the entire pool.
Withdrawing his ghost hand, Wen Zhong tried to use the ghost realm to fight against this strange pool.
This pool has the characteristics of a ghost realm, and he also has the characteristics of a ghost realm. If he can successfully suppress the other party during the confrontation, then he may be able to find out the truth here.
But when he actually tried to use the ghost realm to fight against the water pool, he was surprised to find that the water pool had changed back to its original state.
The bottomless feeling had disappeared, and at the same time, the broken palm in his hand and the pool of black water stained like ink disappeared.
"Am I dreaming, or has time really gone back?"
Wen Zhong's face became a little ugly. So many changes had occurred before he actually entered the supernatural land. This second stage of the ceremony was even more bizarre than he imagined.
At this time, there was a ray of light from the sky. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was already 5:30 in the morning. When he thought of the dark severed hand, he couldn't help but frown and prepared to go back to Hong Shuangquan's house to see Dai Zhibin.
Condition.
Shortly after Wen Zhong left, a series of bubbles came from the pool, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a charred ghost lurking in the pool.
