I walked forward tremblingly, with a bold flower stand in my hands and Qi Zhen's name constantly in my mouth. Although Taoism pays attention to "braking with static and preemptive strike", in the face of this boundless darkness and cold-blooded killers who may jump out at any time, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and "control static and preemptively"!

As time passed, the fear in my heart grew deeper and deeper. Qi Zhen never responded, but this "house" is like a space that can be extended infinitely and has no end, let alone go out now, even if you want to turn around and go back the same way, it is impossible!

Just as I was on the verge of hysteria, a light appeared in front of me. Someone's coming? I was relieved, and then nervous again. Who is it? Could it be...... The murderer?

"You...... Who is it? I asked apprehensively.

"It's me." The owner of the voice came quickly, and when he got closer, he could be seen holding a small flashlight in his hand, and his solemn face had a somewhat reproachful look. It's Qi Zhen!

"Where were you just now? I screamed for a long time! I complained, but my heart blossomed, this is "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it"!

"How did you get in?" His tone was rather displeased.

"Besides, what are you doing in this place?" I asked rhetorically.

He was silent, as if he was considering the words, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.

"Ahem, let's go out first!" I didn't want him to be too embarrassed, so I hurriedly played a round, "Fortunately, you also brought a flashlight, otherwise the two of us would really have to crawl out in the dark!" ”

He let out a faint "um" and walked straight forward. I was a little disappointed, and I was a little surprised that he was suddenly cold to me, so I had to follow him silently with a calm face.

He walked as fast as he could, as if he were familiar with the environment. At first, I was angry at him, but then I had to pick up my spirits and trot all the way. I don't know how long it took me to feel a pain in my left wrist. The pain came so suddenly and so violently that I almost screamed. I stopped, shook my hands vigorously, and gasped. Probably I couldn't hear my footsteps, and Qi Zhen in front of me also stopped.

"What's wrong?" His tone was flat, but a strange impatience was quietly transmitted.

I was stunned, and my hand stopped in mid-air, and I didn't know what to say.

He approached me. In the light of the flashlight, I saw him frown, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he stared at my hand.

"Soul Breaker!" He muttered.

I suddenly woke up, hurriedly stretched out my left hand in front of my eyes, and the string of black beads that shimmered with a ghostly light appeared again!

I stared blankly at the string of beads, and saw the light around it shone brightly, and each bead spun silently and rapidly, only shrinking on my wrist, and my hand was about to break.

"What bad luck! Why did this ghost bead come back? I bared my teeth and flicked my wrist, trying to loosen it. But judging by its tenacity and stubbornness in strangling my wrist, I can't help but believe that it has any intention of becoming one with my wrist!

"I'll help you." Qi Zhen decisively reached out to help me.

His hands and face looked pale, ...... It's not like flesh and blood. As soon as his cold fingers touched my wrist, the light on the beads suddenly skyrocketed, and the scene at Xiao Zhen's house that day was repeated. The slight difference was that although Qi Zhen's face was very ugly, he did not retract his hand, still stubbornly holding my wrist, and his eyes widened extremely fiercely, glaring at the bead.

Although my wrist hurt very much, I couldn't help but laugh secretly when I saw this scene: I didn't expect that Qi Zhen and Xiao Zhen had completely different temperaments, but their attitudes towards this bead were the same.

As I was confronting each other, I swept out of the corner of my eye and found that something with a vague outline was slowly approaching us in the darkness beyond the light of the flashlight. An icy, cold, death-like aura permeated the air. I was shocked: "Qi Zhen, look, there is ...... People are coming! ”

He immediately turned the flashlight around, and a swarthy figure walked towards us with difficulty. A bloody face, and a neck that hung eerily to one side, revealing a monstrous hole in the throat. Sky! It is "Fang Yuheng".

He ...... He...... He ......, "I stammered, and I couldn't even speak clearly."

"You know him?" Qi Zhen was calm as usual and asked in a deep voice.

"Uh...... He...... is the unlucky guy who was intimidated by me yesterday, Ding Zhongheng and Ye Xiaoyun's only remaining 'good friend' - Fang Yuheng! Under his influence, I finally calmed down and spoke these words fluently.

His face ...... It's so bloody and blurry, you can actually recognize it? Qi Zhen looked surprised.

"Well...... That's because I've already met him! I smiled wryly, "But...... Not alive! ”

As he spoke, the "Fang Yuheng" staggered over to us with a soft neck and a bloody face. I tried to step back, but my wrist was firmly grasped by Qi Zhen and I couldn't move. He stood expressionlessly, glancing coldly at the "Fang Yuheng", not only did he not have fear in his eyes, but there was an indescribable look of contempt.

Suddenly, I felt a chill chill in my bones, and the warning signs of a dangerous future jumped through my mind. I wanted to open my mouth to remind Qi Zhen, but as soon as my mouth opened, I caught a glimpse of a wave of red rushing towards my face. The next moment, I felt that my whole body was trapped in a sea of scarlet blood, and huge blood flowers continued to fly in front of my eyes, and my breathing was immediately extremely difficult, and my throat seemed to be blocked by some hard lump.

The suffocation, the dizziness, the violent wheezing, so overwhelmingly so tightly that I couldn't move even a little finger, the pain that seemed to be my soul in a nightmare and couldn't wake up, and my heart kept falling...... Plunging into the bottomless abyss......

The abyss was as wet as a swamp, and everywhere was filled with a viscous smell with a strong smell of blood. I was like a drowning and dying man, struggling desperately, but all the strength in my body seemed to be drained, and even my flesh and blood were slowly drying up. I have never been so frightened, and the hideous countenance of death seems to be within reach!

An earth-shattering thunderclap erupted in the air, and a cloud of yellow light swept around me like a meteor. The abyss quickly filled the abyss with a burnt smell, as if some kind of meat was being grilled and roasted...... Well, my suffocation and dizziness have lessened a lot, and the blood in front of me has disappeared!

Who saved me? Could it be Qi Zhen?

An angular object fell into my right hand. Oh, it's the "induction charm" that I have forgotten for a long time! At a critical juncture, it was actually the evergreen talisman that I once despised that saved me, which was a bit ironic. Looking at the triangular yellow talisman, the embarrassed appearance of Chang Qing pulling her hair and smiling suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. It was only in the morning that we parted, but I felt as if I had been separated for a long time, and the feeling of missing came spontaneously.

"This talisman is...... Evergreen. Qi Zhen's tone was strange, like a statement and a question. Didn't he watch Chang Qing give me this talisman? A few doubts flashed through my mind.

"What did you see just now?" Qi Zhen asked lightly, but there was a faint light in his eyes.

"A quagmire abyss, a sea of scarlet blood." I replied without thinking.

"Hmm. Do you know how the Yi people raise Gu? He suddenly asked a question that was not related to the previous topic.

"Raising Gu? How would I know! "I'm weird.

"On the day of Duanyang, I went to the field to catch twelve kinds of reptiles at random, put them in a vat with a small mouth and a large belly, and then covered the lid. These reptiles are usually poisonous snakes, eels, centipedes, toads, scorpions, earthworms, large green caterpillars, lizards, ...... In short, there are no flying creatures, and no four-legged running creatures, just some poisonous reptiles. These twelve kinds of reptiles are put into the tank, and those reptiles devour each other in the tank for a year, the more poisonous eat the less poisonous, the strong eat the weak, and finally only one remains. The only surviving reptile changed its form and color after eating the other eleven......" he said, his face as pale as death was expressionless, as if wearing a mask, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed a strange red.

I blinked blankly, feeling frightened for no reason, this kind of Qi Zhen was unfamiliar, I had never seen it before.

I cleared my throat and said tentatively, "Ahem! This, this Gu cultivator is the same as what I just saw...... What does it matter? ”

"The same goes for the soul! The powerful devour the weak, and the vicious extinguishes the good...... until the most useful remains. He didn't answer.

I smiled bitterly: "Qi Zhen, what's wrong with you?" …… Say something weird? ”

"Huh! Do you think it's strange? That's because you haven't understood what I mean. He grinned, but there was no smile in his eyes.

I sighed, stared into his face, and said helplessly, "Everyone has only one soul, how can it be devoured and eliminated?" ”

"What if there wasn't just one soul?" He stared at me too, the light in his eyes as sharp as a blade.

"Do you mean that you ...... Are there two souls? "My mind was in a trance, as if I couldn't believe my ears.

"It's not." He didn't want to think about it, and flatly denied it.

I was stunned for a moment, but he slowly reached out his hand, as if he was about to caress my shoulder.

The "Soul Splitting Bead" strangled into my wrist, and blood oozed out of the severe pain. At the same time, the air around me suddenly became hot, and the wind from nowhere swirled wildly around me, anxiously as if to send me some message. I was inexplicable, and my wrist hurt terribly, and the panic in my heart grew like weeds.

His hand was already on my shoulder.

My eyes went black, and my shoulder seemed to have been pierced by some sharp weapon. The pain came like the sea, and the blood spurted out, but I was like a puppet of no sense, so numb that I lost all my senses.

Is the person in front of him really Qi Zhen?

Just now, in an instant, his hand went over my shoulder. At this moment, blood was still dripping from the tips of his pale fingers. I stared at his face and his eyes in disbelief, trying to get an answer from it.

I was greeted by a pair of eyes that were watery, almost charming, and a sneer of gloom and mockery came to his eyes when he saw my shocked but still unbelievable expression.

This is...... It's a ...... I'm familiar with. Person? My mind raced, and this familiar mockery had appeared in a moment in the depths of my memory! I tried to think, but my mind went blank, the cold slowly swept over my body, tiredness came irresistibly, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier. In the last shred of sanity, I saw him raise his hand again, slowly but without pause, reaching for my throat......

The last thing that flashed in my mind was Fang Yuheng, whose face was blurred with flesh and blood, and whose neck was weirdly hung to the side, revealing a hideous hole in his throat! Originally...... That's how he was ...... He killed!

Chang Qing and Chen Qiu, who were resting at home, jumped up at the same time. Chang Qing received an extremely strong message from the "Sense Talisman", indicating that the owner of the Talisman was in danger. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately lit a guiding charm and followed it, hoping to save her in time. The guide charm was drizzling around the mouth of a strange alley, and a girl who was also rushing towards him almost collided with him.

"Why are you here too?" He asked.

"My corpse fireflies can remember the breath of people, and they can also pick up many signals. It senses...... Little Star is in great danger! Chen Qiu, who has always been calm, can hardly hide his worries. Her fingertips shimmered with a pale pink glow, quivering slightly as she spoke.

"Well, my 'guide' stops here, she must be around here! Let's find out! Chang Qing nodded anxiously as he pressed his fingers and urged the "Guide Talisman" forward.

The two of them searched down the alley with their own powers.

However, both the "Guide Charm" and the "Corpse Firefly" are advancing very slowly, and they seem to be disturbed by some external force. There is a considerable amount of spiritual power hidden in this inconspicuous alley! The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but worry about my situation.

When the blue-gray smoke cleared, I opened my eyes and was surprised to find that the scene in front of me had changed dramatically. It became a blank, almost empty space, with wisps of looming translucent mist-like things floating, in various shapes, like flowing clouds in the sky. Silence, ethereal, empty, as if there was no other creature in heaven and earth but me.

What's going on? What about Qi Zhen? I suddenly remembered the blood-spattered shoulders and the hands reaching out to my throat...... Uh, isn't it...... I, I, I've died? Oh! Oh, my God! It's really "die before you get out of school"! Pity me, the beautiful flower season that I am not yet sixteen years old has been inexplicably ruined! I don't know if I'm going to hell or heaven?

I was infinitely lamented and drowned in tears.

After a while, my face was full of tears and snot, and it was very uncomfortable, so I pulled a piece of cloth to wipe my face. Well? What kind of cloth is this? The fibers were so thick that they were like sandskin, and they made my face hurt. I grinned and grumbled.

"Have you wiped it off?" A voice that was so gentle that it gave me goosebumps sounded beside me.

"What the hell is going on with you? Dog takes a mouse...... Wow! How are you? I looked up and saw the speaker's face, and I jumped for astonishment.

"Of course it's me! Otherwise, who do you think will come to your rescue? He leaned in to me and smiled.

"Hey, what are you doing so close?" I saw a magnified face come closer, and my nose almost touched my skin, and I quickly turned my face away and yelled in displeasure.

"Uh-huh!" He snorted and looked down at my hand with a smirk.

I looked down at him and immediately blushed with embarrassment.

I was pulling most of the corners of his coat tightly on my hands, and I had pulled half of the buttons off, and most importantly, I wiped the corners with tears and snot all over my clothes!

It turned out that the cloth he pulled just now was his clothes!

"This ...... Ahem...... I thought it was a cloth, so I wiped it...... Hehehehe...... "I tried in vain to explain, but the more I depicted it, the darker it became, and I had to hide it with an awkward sneer."

"Yes. Wipe it and wipe it, it doesn't hurt. Can you let go of your jade hand, though? The sarcasm in his tone was palpable.

I hurriedly let go and said with a smile on my face, "Do you want to ...... I'll wash it for you? "I look flattering like a lackey in the house, and if I had a tail, I would have seen that I was wagging my tail vigorously at the moment to please me!

He looked at me, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and as he shook his head, he took off the coat that I had accidentally used as a handkerchief with great speed, and threw it to the ground.

“…… Hey, what did you just say? Save me? Haven't I ...... Die? I suddenly remembered this stubble and quickly asked him.

"Nature." He replied firmly.

"Really?" I hesitated to touch my neck and looked down at myself again. Well, the limbs are complete, the whole body is uninjured, the heartbeat is strong, and the breathing is steady. I'm not dead?!

"Haha! Turns out I'm not dead yet! "I was dancing with excitement.

"That's not right! I remember...... I've got a wound on my shoulder, how can I not have a trace at all? I immediately lowered my face and glared at him with infinite suspicion.

"Alas!" He sighed unexpectedly, "Your 'face-changing' kung fu is really good!" …… We're in the Soul Breaker now, so you're still unharmed. ”
