The whole flight from F city to N city took less than two and a half hours, and it was already the middle of the night when it landed, and the black box took the lead in saying goodbye to Gu Yun, and disappeared into the night alone.

Gu Yun hitched a ride on the side of the street and handed over the address left by Ikeda to the driver.

According to Ikeda, Ikeda was in a prestigious family at the time, and his servants had already arranged for him to live in advance.

Gu Yun sat in the back seat of the taxi, a figure out what the black box said about Greene Winchester, as well as the weight of the Dusk Magic Book itself.

The last time Marianne used a time ban spell in her fight with him, it could even block his actions outright, and with only a third of the content of the fragments, it would have spawned a vampire count worthy of the Scourge......

The tome seemed to be much more powerful than he had imagined, and Marianne had mentioned more than once that she had not fully learned the spells in the Tome of Dusk before it was taken away by Green Winchester.

Gu Yun felt that the origin of this spell should be closely related to the 'calamity', or in fact, it was simply the technique created by the 'calamity' himself.

This scourge that had been banished forever by the Protoss was brought up again.

In fact, from the very beginning of the Ghoul incident, it seems that everything is directly or indirectly caused by the "disaster".

Immediately after, the sound of rapid brakes interrupted Gu Yun's thoughts.

The elderly driver's head was buried in the steering wheel, his chest heaving violently, and his wheezing came and went, as if he was terrified, and his eyes looked in the rearview mirror from time to time.

On the deserted and populated highway, a rickety old man walked slowly and leisurely.

The old man carried an oil lamp in his hand, which could illuminate a limited distance, and his whole face was covered in the hood of his robe.

"Don't look back, don't look at him!"

Despite the horror in his heart, the driver still forcibly reminded Gu Yun.

"What's that?"

"The grave keeper, also known as the lantern ghost, in short, whatever he says to you, don't respond!"

Gu Yun wanted to continue asking, but the driver closed his eyes and remained motionless, looking as if he was asleep.

In the spirit of do-it-yourself, Gu Yun quickly entered these keywords into the search bar that Baidu knew.

Behind several topped cemetery job advertisements, Gu Yun found some gossip about lantern ghosts.

Grave keepers are a traditional profession, but when associated with lantern ghosts, they become a kind of monster in folklore.

In the customs of N City, the cemetery is the hub connecting the human world and the underworld, and the long-term work has caused some grave keepers to be affected by the breath of the underworld, and after their death, their souls cannot rest in peace, and will still wander aimlessly in the world, appearing in the middle of the night, once passers-by respond to him, the soul will be brought back to the underworld with the lantern ghost.

When Gu Yun quickly finished reading the introduction of the lantern ghost, the rickety old man had already stopped in front of the car window.

Through the light of the oil lamp, Gu Yun saw that under the cloak was a face full of wrinkles, which looked almost the same as an ordinary old man.

The old man lifted the oil lamp and shone on Gu Yun, and the two sides looked at each other for a moment.

In some folklore, just looking at the lantern ghost is equivalent to responding to his invitation, and perhaps it is because of such legends that the driver is so frightened that he buries his head in the steering wheel.

However, Gu Yun didn't care about these.

It's just looking at you, how can I drop it?

In his opinion, the speed of the lantern ghost is not very fast, and the aura is not strong, and it belongs to the weak category among the many evil spirits.

After a while, the lantern ghost stretched out his right hand, and his skinny palm slowly stretched out to Gu Yun's arm.

"Stop!"

Just as Gu Yun was about to send the other party back to the underworld with one punch, a cold female voice came from the night sky.

As the shouts rang out, a white spell with strange writing had been attached to the back of the lantern ghost's head.

The flickering green flames reflected the woman's awe-inspiring eyes, her long black hair fluttering in the evening breeze, and the white hakama indicated her identity.

"Return to your original world, people of the underworld!"

As she spoke, her black eyes flashed with a holy white streamer, and her movements did not drag the mud and water at all, and when this charm was attached to the back of the lantern ghost's head, the lantern ghost let out an extremely tragic scream.

Even though she had firmly gained the upper hand, the shrine maiden who came from nowhere did not slack off in the slightest, and in order to ensure that the lantern ghost completely lost her ability to move, she ......

He took out a short knife and stabbed the lantern ghost several times.

This man is a modern physicist of the school of spirituality!

Good guy, Gu Yun is a good guy directly.

Unexpectedly, this graceful witch actually adopted the same school of spirit removal method as him!

After being stabbed several times by an unknown witch in a row, the lantern ghost finally reluctantly scratched Gu Yun with his last strength, and his whole body turned into flying ashes.

Naturally, this scene did not escape the sight of the shrine maiden.

After getting rid of the lantern ghost in the blink of an eye, she directly pulled the car door, forcibly dragged Gu Yun off the back seat, and under the latter's bewildered gaze, she took out a Japanese-style wine bottle and poured the clear liquid with a faint smell of wine and plum on the back of Gu Yun's hand that had just been scratched by the lantern ghost.

After completing this series of actions, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Recently, it is the day when the human world and the underworld overlap, if you don't want to die, don't wander outside at night if you don't have anything important." ”

In the eyes of the witch, Gu Yun was a stunned young man.

The lantern ghost beckoned the man's soul through the car window, and the man not only did not mean to resist or dodge, but his eyes widened wider than the lantern ghost.

I don't know, I think this person is recruiting the ghost of the lantern.

And every year, there are hundreds of stunned young people like Gu Yun in N City who die in all kinds of bizarre events, and the witches can't get to the scene in time every time, and more often, they can only play the role of autopsy.

"You're in luck today."

"Thanks, what's your name?"

Although Gu Yun didn't need the help of the witch, no matter how he said it, others could be regarded as "saving" him, and his sister emphasized to him more than once that he should be polite and gracious.

So he decided to wait for him to settle down and send the shrine maiden some small gifts as a token of gratitude.

"My name?"

The witch chuckled, turned around heroically, raised her hand towards Gu Yun without turning her back to her head, and walked towards the mountain on the side of the road, "It's better that you still don't know, for you, the best ending is to never deal with people like us - but if you have the heart, when you pass by the shrine in the future, go and put incense on the statue." ”
