The woman's eyes were red, her body trembled slightly, and she was sobbing, I don't know why she was like this, but she looked a little distressed.

"Can you tell me what's going on here?" I asked the woman.

The woman stopped sobbing and whispered, "This village is cursed by evil spirits, and the girl must already know about it." ”

"I know, but I don't believe it." I changed from half-squatting to sitting on the floor, and although I didn't dare to look the woman in the eyes, I could still close the distance between the two of us by looking at her body below her head and talking.

"Girl, don't you believe there are evil spirits here?" The woman's tone was surprised.

"I don't believe it." Although I am afraid of ghosts, I am sure that there are no evil ghosts in this village, only a group of evil people.

"Okay." Seeing my stubborn expression, the woman's tone was a little helpless, and she continued: "Actually, many people didn't believe it at first, but when those strange things happened, they all believed it. ”

"Strange things?" I wondered, "What's going on?" ”

The woman was silent, but her whole body began to tremble, this was a tremor of fear, presumably she recalled something terrible, which caused her body to have such a stress reaction.

"Don't be afraid, tell me what you know, perhaps, I have a way to help you."

The woman shook her head when she heard this, and said with a whimper: "Girl, you can't help us, you better get out of here quickly." ”

"Originally, I wanted to leave at dawn, but now I don't know the situation, I won't leave, so you better tell me quickly, what the hell is going on!"

The woman's whimpering voice continued, and her eyes were filled with tears, and after a long while, she spoke: "Our village is cursed, cursed by evil spirits, and evil spirits will not leave until they absorb the essence of forty-nine young men and women, but there are only thirty people in our village now, including the old and the young. ”

Essence! Didn't the old man yesterday talk about souls? This is a big error, but the essence that the woman said seems to be more suitable for their current situation!

I pondered for a moment and said, "So, you were also absorbed by the evil spirits and became what you are now?" ”

The woman lowered her eyes and nodded, "Yes, people who are absorbed from the essence will become neither human nor ghost, their faces are extremely terrifying, and they will go crazy every once in a while. Yesterday, I was really embarrassed to scare the girl at the entrance of the village. ”

"It's fine." I laughed dryly, looked at her and said, "Give me your hand." ”

The woman looked at me a little puzzled, but still stretched out her hand, I looked at her slender fingers, and the skin on her hand was as white as jade, and I couldn't help frowning, "Are you okay?" ”

"That demon only sucked my essence once, so my face just changed, and when he sucked all my essence away, I ...... I'll ......" the woman bowed her head and cried.

I immediately understood, and I said that it was not an evil ghost, but a wicked person, a great evil person who practiced evil skills by absorbing people's essence.

This kind of exercise, once seen in a secret method in the Chang'an Pavilion, said that if you absorb the essence of forty-nine living people, you can enhance your internal strength within a few days, improve your martial arts, and be invincible in the world, and once the person who is absorbed runs out of essence, you will die.

When I was reading a book at that time, I read it as a story, but I didn't expect that there really would be such a thing, and there would really be such a person.

My heart was filled with rage, and after the belt calmed down, I took the woman's wrist and checked her lower pulse, which, as I expected, was severely depleted.
