After the water ghost was put into the ring, the scene in front of him quickly changed again, and in a trance, he found himself back in the house, standing behind the old man.

For my sudden appearance, the faces of the people queuing in the room were a little dazed, and their eyes looked at me suspiciously.

Seeing this, the old man also glanced back, and when he was looking at me, his face suddenly turned white, and he exclaimed: "You... Why are you here?! ”

"Come home often." I looked at him and smiled kindly.

Cold sweat ran down its face, and it was extremely uneasy: "Impossible... You should have been..."

"You've been swallowed by the water ghosts, haven't you?" I looked at the souls in the whole room, at least a hundred and ten, and sneered: "You old guy is really not real, it's good to collude with the water ghosts, tell a bad story to devour these innocent souls, and your conscience is very bad!" ”

It was broken by me, his face was ugly for a while, and he suddenly got up from the chair: "Since you know everything, I can't keep you!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the book and shouted, "Water ghost! ”

The voice fell, and the scene stood still for a few seconds without any change.

"What's going on?" It began to feel a little uneasy, and hurriedly shouted again: "Water ghost! ”

There was still no movement, and his face became more and more ugly, and he was a little unstable.

"Don't panic, don't panic, scream two more times, in case it doesn't hear it!" I gently touched my ring, and its whole expression was panicked, and it called out several times in a row: "Water ghost! Kelpie! ”

There was no response.

I felt a little bored, and stroked the ring and said, "Done?" It's my turn, water ghost. ”

Soon a puff of black smoke came out of the ring, and the water ghost appeared in front of him.

The old man looked at me with shocked eyes when he saw this, and his whole body trembled: "... This... How is this possible! Who the hell are you?! How can you control ghosts! ”

"The world is so big that you can only say that you have seen too little." I stood next to the water ghost and secretly compared it to the next one, and it was even a little taller than me.

"You betrayed me!" It pointed at the water ghost with extreme anger, and its body trembled.

The water ghost bowed its head at its accusation, and it could be seen that it was very uneasy.

Seeing this, I said to the old man: "Don't blame it, it's my idea, if you want to save your life, let my brother out, I know they are in your hands, otherwise you will die a miserable death!" ”

It gritted its teeth, knowing that it had no chance of winning at this time, and waved its hand angrily, and my brother and Deng Hai fell out of the air and smashed to the ground.

"It's not over, water ghosts! I, Zhao Qi, won't let you go! With that, it turned into smoke and vanished.

I was busy helping my brother, Deng Hai rubbed his head and stood up by himself, and said angrily: "I was put on a stand by that old guy, and I almost killed a water ghost, eh, did you pick up my things?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the grimace mask from my waist, and my heart trembled, and I hurriedly reflexively bounced away, looking at him with complicated eyes, unable to speak.

"What's wrong?" My brother sensed that something was wrong, and when he saw that I had been protecting the mask, he wondered: "This mask is really Lao Deng's, he has always carried it on his body, if you like it, I will buy you one when I have a chance in the future." ”

I didn't say a word, Deng Hai smiled and stretched out his hand, my brother didn't know what was going on with this mask, let alone that someone behind it wanted us to die.

"Where did you get this mask? It feels pretty good. "In order not to arouse suspicion, I returned the mask to him.

"This, it was given by a very good friend before my death, if you like it, let someone make one according to this when the time comes." He put the mask back in his pocket, my mind was spinning rapidly, and I hurriedly asked him: "Old Deng, can I ask you a question, you die... How long has it been? ”

I have to be sure of one thing, and that is if he was sent by the Masked Man to kill us, and according to the previous man, we were targeted by them, which meant that all Masked People were enemies.

But if Deng Hai had been dead for a long time, then he shouldn't have known the current plan of the masked man.

He thought about it seriously when he saw me asking, and said, "It's been a while, and I can't remember it when you ask like this, but I've been in purgatory for fifteen years." ”

"Fifteen years... Ten years more than my brother. I was stunned for a moment, and began to calculate in my heart: "The time of purgatory is random, fifteen years can't tell how long it has been outside, it is likely that it is only a month, in this case, it is still possible that he is still organized by the masked people." ”

"But the problem is that ten years longer than my brother means that he came here earlier than my brother, which means that no matter how long it has been outside, he died earlier than my brother." I was even more puzzled: "I don't think it's right when I think about it, if they want to harm us, why would they die earlier than us and stay in this kind of place?" From this point of view, whether he is really a masked man or not, he should not know the current plan. ”

I figured it out and didn't ask any more questions, and soon it was dawn, and when I came out of the house, the world was black and white, the ghosts and spirits were gone, and the whole land was desolate.

"Looks like we're lucky to have survived tonight." Deng Hai looked around vigilantly: "But you still can't take it lightly, even in the daytime, purgatory is a terrifying existence." ”

We are now going to the Dark Zone, where it is said that there is a way to get souls out, and the door I opened earlier will no longer be found, so we will have to try our luck in the Dark Zone.

It's the third day now, and I took a look at the twenty-four runes, and when I compare them, it's only been nearly two hours since the outside world.

There is still plenty of time, and at this rate, there will be at least nearly twenty days left in purgatory. If I don't get out after twenty-four hours, the door will be closed, which means that my only connection with the world will be severed, that is, I too will die, and then become a fragile soul wandering in purgatory, never seeing the light of day.

"There are two ways to get to the dark land, one is farther but relatively safe, and the other is a shortcut, but it is dangerous." Deng Hai analyzed: "How to choose? ”

"How much time do you have left?" My brother asked me if I was the key to getting them out right now.

"There are twenty-two hours left in the outside world, but in purgatory, it's uncertain, how dangerous can it be to cut corners?"

"You only need to cross an area to reach the Dark Zone, which is called Nightmare."

"It's a shortcut, but the Nightmare is home to the most terrifying things in Purgatory, a place that no soul wants to approach except in the Dark Zone."

I thought about it when I heard this: "Time is pressing, and I can't take the risk of taking a long road, so I chose it and took a shortcut." ”

My brother immediately grabbed me and said, "Are you sure?" Purgatory is not as simple as you think, I've been here for five years, and I know better than you that the souls and ghosts I see now are the most ordinary things, and they can naturally deal with it, but when it comes to nightmares... Far scarier than here. ”

"Is it more terrifying than the anointed blind ghost and Wang Qiang?"

He was stunned by what I said, and in the past five years, he seems to have forgotten who Wang Qiang is.

I told him: "After destroying the anointed blind ghost, Chen Qing now has his own ghost domain, and his strength is stronger, although he hasn't used it yet, he still has the courage to fight." ”

He didn't say anything more when he saw that I had decided, and then we began to lead Deng Hai to the Dark Zone, and the first area we passed through on the way was the Nightmare.

I asked Deng Hai, "What's in the nightmare?" ”

He said: "Everyone sees it differently, Nightmare is a place that will magnify your fears infinitely, the three of us together, it's hard to say what will be anything." ”

I thought about it, and the fear is infinitely magnified? If you say this, does it mean that my brother is afraid of perversion, and perversion will appear in nightmares?

So what am I afraid of? Even I don't know.

What is Deng Hai afraid of?

Let's hope the two of us don't make anything weird, or it will be embarrassing.
