CHAPTER IX

"Yao Zhi is dead." Li Chenyin's words were like a basin of cold water, splashed on her head fiercely. "You're doing useless work now. The ghosts only move every once in a while, so while it's safe to do so, we're retreating. ”

"He's my companion." Gu Lingxiao shook her head stubbornly. "Since you want to die, then let it be. Yao Zhi's death just now should not be accidental, I guess, it is likely that it triggered the dead end, or ...... What clues did he find. Li Chenyin asked, "What did Yao Zhi just tell you?" ”

"I don't know, before he finished speaking, he was ......" Gu Lingxiao recalled carefully: "He said, before finding me...... You mean, Brother Yao may have discovered something important? ”

"Hmm." Li Chenyin didn't say what she and Lu Qing had speculated before, if she let others know that the ghost might have mixed in with the Dream Breaker or the missing student, it would only accelerate the division of the team and create suspicion between people.

According to her speculation, Yao Zhi should have found clues related to ghosts, so he would be quickly extinguished. It seems that the clue should be on Yao Zhi's body, but at present, Li Chenyin does not want to take this risk. She knew that when it came to clues, danger would follow. Meisha is still by her side, which makes her even more afraid to take risks at will, so after she analyzed the situation to Gu Lingxiao, Gu Lingxiao, who calmed down, finally came back to her senses, and the two of them protected Meisha in the middle, and the three of them chose to leave.

Sure enough, the ghost never reappeared, and the three of them finally returned to the river beach after overcoming many obstacles. And by the river, there is indeed a person waiting for them.

"Is that you?" Li Chenyin looked up and saw a tall and handsome young man walking in front of him. This person is no stranger to her, it is Dai Shikai, who has performed tasks together before.

"I saw the mark left by Brother Qing by the river, why are there only a few of you? Where is he? After Dai Shikai saw the third daughter, he frowned in disappointment.

"He and Kanako are still in the woods. We've just been attacked by ghosts, and one of the Dream Breakers in Sector 2 has died. Li Chenyin explained what had happened to Dai Shikai. After listening to her words, the latter resolutely made a decision.

"The three of you are now stationed nearby to rest, and I'll go in and find them." After he said this, he ignored Gu Lingxiao's dissuasion and went to the forest alone.

It was getting dark, and the three girls found a relatively safe place to rest by the river, waiting for news from Lu Qing and the others by the way.

"We've been around here for a long time, why haven't we walked out yet?" Kanako was sweating profusely, and as the sky grew darker and darker, the forest was silent, and even the chirping of birds and insects did not appear. Kanako even had the illusion that this was not the real world, but some unknown realm of horror......

Lu Qing knew that he must have been targeted by a powerful ghost. Since Kanako is by her side, the two of them will naturally be the priority targets of the ghosts, especially Kanako.

"You put me down, you've been carrying me for a long time." Kanako was a little embarrassed, since she encountered danger, Lu Qing had been carrying herself on her back, as if she was afraid that she would encounter a little danger, so she carried herself in the forest for more than an hour. Although I don't know why the other party is so concerned about her safety, Kanako's heart is full of emotion.

"Okay, Miss Kanako, please stay with me and don't let go." Lu Qing looked around vigilantly, and after choosing a tree, he took Kanako under the tree and let her lean against the tree, which could also ensure that her back was safer. Kanako looked at the other party's handsome side face, and was inexplicably a little moved. Although the things encountered were very strange, Kanako felt a lot more relieved to have such a handsome and responsible man to protect herself.

"Damn, what are you thinking, it's clear that there is Shota......" Kanako blushed, and suddenly felt a little sorry for her boyfriend. The other party's life and death are still unknown, and he is still moved by a boy who has just known him for a long time...... "Miss Kanako, let's rest here for a few minutes." Because he had carried her in the forest for a long time before, Lu Qing also felt a little tired. Kanako was thinking wildly, and after hearing the other party's words, her face instantly turned red and she was a little at a loss. "Kanako-san, what's wrong? Did you find something? Lu Qing was a little nervous, he didn't know what Kanako was struggling with just now, he just thought that the other party had seen something weird. Out of concern, he subconsciously walked towards Kanako.

"Ah, no, it's nothing......" Kanako became even more nervous when she saw the other party approaching her, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back. And yet it's this move, "Huh, what is this?" She felt something under her feet, and curiously bent down and picked it up. Qingjun, you see, I picked this up. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she casually diverted the topic.

What Kanako is holding in her hand is a ring with a strange shape. It seems to be made of a special kind of wood, which at first glance is inconspicuous, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not right. Because it's not pitch-black wood, it's a charred human bone!

A line of blood words appeared in Lu Qing's mind: You have found the prop: cursed ring, do you choose to bind?

This...... It turned out to be a prop? Lu Qing only felt a burst of ecstasy, and after calming down for a few seconds, he came back to his senses. This is not a regional item, but a normal item. In this way, it must have been missed by some dreambreaker. How could a dreambreaker leave out a prop that is more important than his own life here?

There's only one reason: the Dream Breaker was killed by the Ghost before he had time to use the props!

This prop is not a product of the third district, and Lu Qing is also relieved, although there is no news from his companion at the moment, it is already the best news for him.

So who is it exactly? Died here for no reason? If this unlucky guy is killed by a ghost, does that mean that his identity has also been replaced?

Lu Qing had already realized the seriousness of the problem, he directly chose to bind, and then took the ring on his hand.

"It's my companion's stuff, I should have accidentally missed it before. I'll take his place first. Lu Qing made up a lie at random.

Kanako was a simple little girl and didn't doubt Lu Qing's words too much.

"Alright, Kanako-sama, let's move on." After resting for a while, Lu Qing proposed. "Hmm." Kanako stood up from the ground and patted the dust off her body. But then, she felt like she had touched something...... It was like a pair of cold hands......
