"There should be no living people in this village anymore...... Du Bai thought as he looked at the empty houses around him.

There was more water on the ground than expected, as if there had just been a flood recently, and when one stepped on it, one could feel the collapse of the soil and the soak of the soles of the shoes, and a trace of cold chill ran up the soles of the feet, but they were all dispelled by a smart warmth in the chest.

Du Bai was still saying some provocative words in his mouth trying to lure the other party out, but the other side was always vigilant, his eyes wandering back and forth around, looking for possible clues.

At this moment, he paused, and by the faint light of the sky, he saw a figure squatting in the corner of the wall not far away, buried in his knees, as if he was looking down and muttering something.

"Someone? Or is it also a monster? ”

Du Bai's heart was vigilant, and he took two steps forward again, and the other party's form became clearer in his eyes.

It was about a young man of about eighteen, his body was wet as if he had just been fished out of the water, he held his head tightly in his palms, as if he was about to pull his hair down, his face was covered and still could not be seen, but his mouth intermittently uttered some broken words with an extremely painful tone.

"They're all dead...... Everybody's dead...... Father...... Xiao Yun ......"

Du Bai's footsteps slowly stopped, stopped at a distance of two meters from the man, and looked at him with sad or unhappy eyes.

In the next second, he saw the young man suddenly raise his head and look at him, his face was pale, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he was screaming in a low voice as if he was in extreme pain.

"I ...... Am I dead too?! ”

The young man howled lowly, like a sorrowful tremor from the depths of his soul.

"Rest in peace." Du Bai said softly.

He continued to move forward, passing by the young man, the other party did not mean to break out, the bruises in his arms were bursting out, as if he was suppressing something, but the blood and tears in the corners of his eyes were getting thicker and thicker.

Du Bai continued on the long, seemingly never-ending path, and in the distance there was darkness, and there were no other monsters.

He had already walked far more than the village itself should have, but it was still not there.

He was a little skeptical that he would be able to make it to the end if he continued like this.

Suddenly, there were four erratic fires in front of him, as if someone was slowly approaching with a lantern, which stood out in the darkness. If an ordinary person sees it in the wild, he will probably think that he has met a companion and be happy.

But when you appear in this eerie environment, you can only bring fear.

Du Bai didn't rush over, just stopped to check.

Soon, as the light approached, he finally saw the appearance of the person who had come.

It was four strangely and terrifying-looking paper figures, their feet did not touch the ground but they jumped strangely, and their faces were smiling faces that made people chill from the bottom of their hearts smeared with thick ink. They carried a plain white lantern in one hand, and a square palanquin in the other, which was not papier-mâché, but a wooden palanquin.

Du Bai recognized it at a glance, it was the Su family's sedan chair, if there was no accident, it should be Su Wanmiao inside!

"Another one! Another one! ”

When the paper figures saw him closer, they suddenly opened their mouths, and sang in a voice that was neither male nor female as if they were singing a nursery rhyme, and the speed of their approach seemed to be a little faster.

Du Bai looked at them who seemed to be happy to find the toy, and instead of being frightened, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, let's play!"

He opened his hands and arms, as if to welcome the arrival of the other party, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he had seen a guest from afar, and welcomed him warmly.

Such an abnormal movement slowed down the pace of these paper figures, and they glanced left and right, and the pretended weird smile on their faces also looked a little stiff, as if it was the first time they had encountered this situation, and they didn't know whether to listen to each other's words or how.

"Why can't you come?" Du Bai's smile slowly converged, and his eyes were cold, "Do you look down on me Du someone?" ”

The paper people tilted their heads, the smiling faces on their faces stiffened, and they froze in place instead of moving forward, but slowly retreated.

They sensed that the newcomer seemed to be a little difficult to mess with, and chose to follow suit.

"Wait, want to go? It's all here, don't you leave me some gifts? ”

Du Bai stretched out his hand, his gaze swept over the paper figures, and finally stopped behind them, "For example, this sedan chair!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the speed of these paper figures increased instantly, and they quickly fled with the sedan chair in the direction they came, not intending to answer him at all, as if they were chasing a tiger behind them.

"So rude, then don't blame me for being rude!"

His cuffs waved slightly, and he saw that the blood stains on it suddenly emitted a milky white light, as if it was the rising sun, with a refreshing warmth, as if it instantly dispelled the surrounding cold.

Du Bai gently chanted the incantation in his mouth, but then saw that this white light began to condense rapidly, condensing into a series of simple and mysterious symbols in mid-air, invisibly exuding a ghostly aura that was completely different from Fang Cai!

Using righteousness to write ghost runes is an unprecedented initiative of Du Bai.

He knew that writing ghost runes had to be driven by energy, but apparently there was no chance to find something that contained aura. At the same time, he thought of the righteous qi flowing in his body, wasn't it also a kind of energy?

In principle, Reiki can write ghost runes, and so can Righteous Qi, which is one of the forms of energy.

This is absolutely unbelievable in the eyes of others, although Du Bai didn't want to take risks, but now that the situation is critical, then he doesn't want to miss it.

Thankfully, he seems to have succeeded!

And the results seem to be very clear.

This time, the ghost rune only sucked his righteous qi clean, and he didn't have the weakness like a bone marrow hollow like before.

Du Bai's heart began to beat violently, and he was a little expectant of what the result of this combination of good and evil would be.

Seeing a flash of light, he felt that his body began to lighten, and an eerie black mist began to surround his body, like possessed armor.

At this moment, he felt as if he had been freed from the shackles of his body, but it was not the sense of emptiness that his soul had left his body before, he seemed to be like a human and not a human, and a ghost and not a ghost.

But if it seems to outsiders, his current appearance is even weirder than those paper figures.

His face was pale and even blue, his body was ghostly, the temperature around him seemed to have dropped by a few degrees, and even the bare skin of his hands was covered with folds, like scales.

These scales are not yet fully formed due to the lack of energy supply, but even so, they are hard to the touch like the bark of a tree, enough to resist ordinary blunt blows!
