In the dark hallway, there was the faint sound of footsteps.

The boy was dressed in thin pajamas, and his eyes were blank as he walked down the cold, silent corridor. Although the cold and dew of the night invaded his body, it did not make the boy stop his steps. He walked through the dark, silent corridors, the crumbling staircases, to the empty hall. However, the boy did not stop, and in front of him, the originally flat ground suddenly cracked, revealing a bottomless pitch black.

The cyan flame lit up, illuminating the pitch black while revealing a mysterious path.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have reacted somewhat when he saw this scene, but in the face of the strange scene in front of him, the young man was as indifferent as a puppet, he did not stop, but went straight into the corridor deep underground. Behind him, the cracked ground closed again, covering the boy's figure again like a demon devouring its own sacrifice.

The cold dew dripped on the young man's face, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time, the eyes that were already godless suddenly regained their brightness.

"This is ..............."

The boy's eyes widened in surprise and he stared at the scene in disbelief.

In the vast underground hall, turquoise flames shimmer and dance to illuminate the space. Ornate, mystical patterns continue from the surrounding walls, and stone statues are placed all around, giving the place an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

"What the hell is going on?"

The boy shook his head, as if trying to make sense of what was happening in front of him, but he soon found that his body was completely unable to move.

As if captured by some invisible force, he couldn't even move a finger, and although he had a clear and definite consciousness, his body was like a frozen ice sculpture that didn't obey him at all.

"This, this is ............!"

Faced with this unimaginable scene, the young man was panicked, he gritted his teeth hard, instinctively wanted to break free from the restraints, but he couldn't succeed at all. But even so, the boy still didn't give up, he concentrated and tried hard to take back control of his body. Because of this, the boy did not notice that the shadows that swayed in the light of the fire were gradually elongating. Like a poisonous snake condensed by a black shadow, it slowly and silently came to the young man's side, and then tightly wrapped around his body.

The bone-piercing, marrow-deep cold enveloped the boy's body, and the pain was so intense that the boy couldn't bear it anymore, and he opened his mouth wide and tried to cry out. But soon, the entangled shadow suddenly erupted, completely enveloping the boy's figure. Together with the shouts that could not yet be called, they were completely strangled in the dark abyss.

Subsequently, the shadows dissipated.

The young man still stood quietly in place, the difference was that at this moment, there was no panic expression on his face at all, and those dark eyes also revealed unprecedented calmness and leisure. And if you look closely, you will find other changes, compared to the original thin boy, he is obviously more robust in front of him, and the dark brown hair has completely changed to a pitch black color, and the emaciated face no longer reveals weakness, but confidence and pride.

The new body is good.

Yu Lian moved his fingers, staring at the last bit of brilliant soul brilliance in his hand with a smug gaze, which was the previous owner of this body, and now, under Yu Lian's grasp, he was only a fragile soul fire. Although he struggled, wailing and trying to reclaim his body, it was unfortunate that Yulian naturally could not let him succeed.

"That's it, thank you for your help. ”

With a soft smile, Yuren gripped his right hand, ending the last resistance of the fragile soul.

Walking out of the hidden tunnel and looking at the ruined castle in front of him, Yu Lian's eyes couldn't help but feel a little more helpless. When he got this body, he also fused the memories of the young man, and naturally understood the origin of this body - this young man is a descendant of a fallen nobleman, and the whole family has been passed down to his generation, and only the young man is left, and three months ago, the young man's parents were deceived by the big nobles and used their only property. The fertile manor was exchanged for this fief, and after discovering that he had been deceived, his parents tried to go to the nobleman for a review, but they were imprisoned instead, and both fell ill and died in a fit of rage. In the face of this fact, the young man himself could only helplessly leave his homeland with grief and indignation, under the "farewell" of those big nobles, and came to the desolate and barren fiefdom on the border to start his new life.

Of course, none of this means anything to Yulian, although he can feel the unwillingness and resentment of the young man from his memory, but it has nothing to do with Yulian himself. Obviously, the boy did not know that the castle he lived in was Yuren's possession a long time ago, and at the same time, it was also a necessary prop for Yuren to resurrect him.

And he has become a necessary prop for Yulian to return to this world.

And through the memories of the teenager, Yu Lian also has a detailed understanding of the current situation.

This castle used to be one of the castles owned by Yuren, after his death, there were several owners here, the first owner was the commander of the Frontier Legion, and he lived here for only three months, he fell ill and died, and then, the family of the Legion Commander left the castle and sold it to the wealthy merchants nearby, although strictly speaking, merchants were not allowed to buy military buildings such as castles, but the sky was high here, and no one cared about it, so it was finally decided. The rich merchant didn't last longer than the previous captain after he had lived in the castle - he had only been in the house for half a year before he suddenly died in his study, and this time, even the healer could not tell the cause of his death. The family of the wealthy merchant made the same decision as the previous occupants, and they immediately left the castle and auctioned it off again.

But this time, not many people are willing to buy it, after all, the castle that connects the two dead masters has a somewhat ominous taste no matter how you look at it. But as the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. A recent Count bought the castle and tried to build it as his base, and then, as expected, the Count died four months later when he was hit in the head by a stone brick that had fallen loosely from the ceiling.

Now people finally understood that this castle was a murderous mansion at all, so after that, no one dared to attack it. And the ownership of this castle has also returned to the hands of the great nobles. And although those nobles will not live here in person, but they naturally have a better way to use the rumors, the last two owners of this castle were used by those big nobles, deceived and sent here, and then died inexplicably - anyway, they don't have to dirty their hands, there is such an easy way to eradicate the hidden enemy, why not?

Even the original owner of the body was the same, and the nobles were unwilling to let themselves be charged with murder, so they kept the little ghost, and were very "generous" to give him this fief as a reward and consolation, which was indeed very humane in the eyes of those who did not know the inside story.

Only Yuren knows the true cause of these people's deaths.

Walking up the steps, Yuren looked back at the deadly silence, silent hall, and then he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

"Smack!"

The turquoise flames burned and lit up the space in front of him, and on the walls, countless black shadows appeared at this moment, roaring and whispering that ordinary people could not understand and hear, surrounding Yuren. This is the most mysterious guardian of the castle - the geist. They roam the castle, protecting it and ruthlessly obliterating all intruders. Until their owners return. Although the breath and flesh of the living were close at hand, these frenzied souls did not make any more dangerous moves as usual, because they clearly felt the powerful and terrifying soul aura coming from this body. This not only frightened them, but also brought them deep fear and respect.

"I'm back and clean up here. ”

Looking at the geist in front of him, Yuren gave the order, and then he turned around and stretched comfortably.

Sure enough, it's best to have a body......... Next, it's time to get some good sleep.
