Chiyohime's voice sounded faintly from behind, thinking of some of the content and speculations mentioned in the book just now, Su Cheng's heartstrings trembled slightly, and he was almost scared out of white sweat.

Is this woman a cat, and she walks without sound?

"Nothing special to discover, Chiyo-san, when did you come over?" The expression on Su Cheng's face converged, revealing a harmless smile and quietly put away the scroll.

"Just now, I didn't come to disturb when I saw Chengjun fascinated."

Chiyohime said as if she hadn't noticed Su Cheng's small movements. It's just that Su Cheng noticed that a strange light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"Chiyohime shouldn't have awakened the memories of her previous life, but she really doesn't know anything about the truth back then?" Su Cheng secretly speculated in his heart, and the truth seemed to be a little confusing.

At this time, Su Cheng looked at Chiyohime's porcelain-like face, and asked casually, "Do you know who is enshrined here?" ”

Chiyohime shook her head blankly.

"A general in the Warring States Period, that is, the previous life of the Ghost King." Su Cheng couldn't see the slightest flaw on Chiyohime's face, she seemed to have completely forgotten the bad relationship with the general in her previous life.

"When I was in the main hall just now, the resentment on that ghost king seemed to be extremely strong, and even a mage with high mana might not be able to surpass it."

"So what?"

"Probably, this general was unjustly killed back then."

At this time, the air suddenly fell silent, and Su Cheng intently observed the subtle changes on Chiyohime's face.

But to his disappointment, Chiyohime's reaction was not unusual, her expression was as calm as water, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Is it really that I'm thinking too much?

Just as the two of them stepped up the stairs, Chiyohime glanced at the general's spirit card.

Su Cheng didn't see it, Chiyohime's pupils turned a strange purple red at this moment, and the blood in her eyes was so thick that it seemed to ooze blood.

Then, a flame suddenly appeared on the general's spirit card, and the fire gradually spread. The raging fire swept over the sky, and all the spirit cards were burned to ashes in the flames.

Stepping into the fourth floor of the five-storied pagoda, the scene in front of Su Cheng's eyes changed and appeared in a book pavilion full of ancient books.

"Welcome, guest."

In the study room that exuded an antique atmosphere, an old woman full of wrinkles stood behind the counter, looking at Su Cheng who appeared in the book room with a kind expression.

Su Cheng glanced at the time, it was now half past three in the morning. Oddly enough, this bookstore was still open until the wee hours of the morning.

Could it be that this is a late-night bookstore dedicated to ghosts?

This library seems a little weird.

"Guest, please pick up any books you want to read."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Su Cheng was not in a hurry to go upstairs, this late-night bookstore gave him a very strange feeling, and it was necessary to search to see if he could find any important clues.

There is no bench in the library, so you can only stand and read.

"There don't seem to be any guests in this bookstore." Su Cheng noticed that the inside of this bookstore was full of dust and cobwebs, and the bookcase where the books were placed was also very shabby, as if it would be turned over at any time.

The books stored here are some old books, mostly ghost novels and biographies.

He walked over to an old bookcase and picked out an old book with a dusty cover to look at.

When Su Cheng picked up the book, he suddenly felt a little weird.

There was a faint sound of ghost crying in the book.

Su Cheng's face changed slightly, but he couldn't help but open the book with a voice.

This is an illustrated book about ghosts, Su Cheng turned to a page at random, and saw that the illustration described a picture of evil ghosts eating people.

After staring at the illustration for a while, he was shocked to find that the person in the illustration had come to life.

"Help, who's going to save me. It's scary here! ”

A desperate and terrifying cry sounded in Su Cheng's ears, and the villain in the illustration stretched out his bloody palm and struggled weakly, as if he was asking Su Cheng for help.

Hiss......

The strange scene in front of him made Su Cheng gasp, and he only felt a chill rising.

Turning the next page, an illustration shows a man trapped in an ancient well.

The man seemed to have been trapped for a long time, and his face was withered, like a skeleton. In the illustration, the man has been trying to figure out how to climb along the smooth wall.

But every time he was about to climb out of the ancient well, he would fall back to the bottom of the well.

Ten of the man's fingers were bloody and fleshy, and in the dead of night, the sound of nails scratching stones at the bottom of the well made the teeth sore.

The images in the book are extremely realistic, like watching a movie. Su Cheng couldn't help but wonder if these people were trapped in the world of the book by some mysterious force.

This bookstore seems to be getting weirder and weirder.

"Guest officer, do you want to see the slave's body?"

Su Cheng casually turned a page, and an extremely charming voice sounded in the book.

In the book, a dusty woman with heavy makeup is half-undressed, revealing snow-white and soft skin, and her sultry posture seduces Su Cheng.

"Hehe, there are still little yellow books to read here."

Su Cheng sneered, although the woman in the book has a gorgeous appearance and a charming and sultry demeanor, at first glance, she is a female driver who has flirted with countless men, and she knows how to flirt with men very well. But he wasn't interested in the slightest.

Because the body of this dusty woman is made of patchwork and sewing from the corpses of different women.

If you look closely, you can also find traces of needlework and sewing on her body.

The woman in the book saw that Su Cheng was not fooled, and her face suddenly became extremely terrifying, and a layer of moldy white hair grew under her white and tender skin.

Then, the banshee suddenly came out of the book and pounced on Su Cheng with a hideous face.

The moment the banshee pounced, a pitch-black palm stretched out like lightning and grabbed the banshee in her hand.

"Spare your life!"

At this time, the banshee's face suddenly changed, and Chu Chu begged him for mercy pitifully.

"Even if you know, it's useless."

Su Cheng ignored the banshee's plea for mercy, and squeezed the black palm hard, directly scattering the banshee's pinched soul.

Continuing to turn the pages of the book, Su Cheng felt like he was reading an audio book. The heart-rending screams of women, the cries of prisoners, the eerie whispers, the vicious curses, the desperate prayers...... All sorts of terrifying and eerie voices crept into his head.

Suddenly, a feeling of terror came through these voices, and an atmosphere of fear spread through the book room in the middle of the night.

Su Cheng took a deep breath and closed the book, and all these noisy sounds disappeared at once.

Putting down the book, Su Cheng suddenly felt that the palm of his hand was wet.

He thought it was a sweaty palm or an ink stain, but when he looked closely, he found that his palm was stained with a large patch of sticky blood at some point.

This book is bleeding.

"Chengjun, you're okay."

Suddenly, a soft little hand grabbed Su Cheng's hand, and Chiyohime asked with a worried face. When I came back to my senses, everything in front of me was back to normal.

No weird voices, no weird books that bleed.

Is it a hallucination?

Su Cheng shook his head, this bookstore and the books here are only afraid of ghosts.

"It's okay, it's just a little distracted."

Tucking the book back into the bookshelf, Su Cheng found a few more books in the vast sea of books that recorded folk anecdotes in the Warring States period.

Well, these books are not haunted.

It's good that it's not haunted, so you can watch it with confidence.

After consulting some books and materials about the Warring States Period, Su Cheng found that it was an extremely chaotic and dark era.

As a result of the warlords' perennial wars, countless people died and starved all over the country.

Because there are too many unjustly killed souls, they do not enter reincarnation, and they stay in the world and gradually become ghosts and demons that eat people.

It wasn't until the war subsided hundreds of years later that these demons gradually disappeared.

"At that time, unknown demons were rampant in the southern part of the country, specializing in seducing and killing young men. The young men who were killed by the demons ended up eating their hearts and livers......"

A demon who eats people's hearts and livers?

Seeing this anecdote, Su Cheng seemed to think of something in his heart, and the clues in his mind gradually connected.

Putting the books back on the shelves, Su Cheng stood up and walked over to the old woman behind the counter.

"Mother-in-law, I'm done. How much? ”

Su Cheng dug out his pocket and found that he didn't seem to bring a wallet when he went out, and it didn't seem that he could pay online here.

Just as he was about to pay, a detail suddenly recalled.

The characters in the illustrated book just now don't seem to have eyes for some reason. In retrospect, it was as if the eyes of those people had been plucked out of their sockets by ghosts.

Think about it!

The old woman behind the counter slowly raised her head, looked into Su Cheng's eyes and said, "Guest, this bookstore doesn't charge money. ”

"Don't charge money? What do you want, mother-in-law? ”

Su Cheng sensed that something was wrong, and put his palm on the hilt.

"I'm going to ...... Your eyes. ”

The old woman had a weird smile on her wrinkled face, and her gray nails suddenly lengthened, and they slashed at Su Cheng's eyes.
