Su Bai's heart jumped suddenly, and his face sank.

"I haven't arrived at the exam room yet?!"

Isn't the City God Temple in Koning River City here?!

And that sense of resonance just now does confirm that.

He pondered for a moment, suddenly realized something, and looked around in disbelief.

The dark tide of the entire building has not faded to this day.

The deep and eerie feeling was even stronger than just now.

He looked down at the female ghost who was tied up on the ground, and the pool of blood on the ground had dried up, indicating that its influence had been neutralized.

This darkness is most likely not its handiwork!

And from just now to now, the puppet doll and Su Yun have not returned, the puppet doll is not sure, but Su Yun will definitely come back to him as soon as he escapes.

Other words......

It's likely that there is a second ghost here?!

But the ghost is just that, it is speculated that this City God Temple is not the whole building, but is probably hidden in a certain location or room in this building.

And the ghost is deliberately hiding the traces of the City God Temple!

He had to meet the deadline.

"It's not good......"

He glanced at the time, there were still 8 minutes left, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated violently.

The whole building has 8 floors, and there are 7 floors on the 1st floor minus the lowest floor, and there are 6 houses on each floor.

With these forty or so rooms, how could he have time to search for them one by one when he couldn't fly through the walls?

Not to mention that there is an unknown and terrifying ghost hidden in this darkness, and I don't know when it will suddenly appear and stab itself in the back.

Just thinking about it makes him feel suffocating despair......

"Wait...... With 8 minutes to go, it's too early to give up......"

Su Bai exhaled slowly, squatted down and stared at the captured female ghost on the ground.

"Honestly...... I'm sure you know this building very well since you're staying here, tell me where the City God Temple is, and maybe I can consider reducing the punishment for your crime of interfering with official business. ”

However, this female ghost only has a look of resentment in her eyes, as if once she lets go of it, she will immediately pounce on and bite herself, and there is no reason at all.

"It seems that the grievances are still gone, the sanity is not clear, and there is still no way to communicate."

Just like the baby ghost Su Yun before.

Time was pressing, and he didn't continue to work in vain, Su Bai ordered Jiao Hei Palm and Ge Ning to carefully search every floor and every room, and immediately come back to report if they found anything abnormal.

He himself pushed open the door one by one to search, while his thoughts were flowing rapidly, reviewing the clues that were known so far.

He believed that as long as the Temple was inside this building, there would definitely be clues left.

There are 7 minutes left.

……

The 8th floor was quickly searched by the joint efforts of three people, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Then why is this female ghost on the 8th floor?"

Su Bai suddenly thought of this question.

With such a special time and place, he definitely didn't believe that this was a random behavior, but more like he was deliberately creating a big movement to attract his attention.

so that you don't have time to notice anything else going on......

He immediately thought of an astonishing possibility—

"The ghosts here probably know or somehow perceive the existence of the Chenghuang exam tonight, and they very much don't want a new Chenghuang to be born!"

That's why they deliberately led themselves away......

This speculation was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

Su Bai had been wondering why they had gathered here for some reason from the moment he found out that there were so many ghosts and monsters in this residential building that looked very ordinary on the outside, and there might even be two resentful ghosts.

Is it because it is deserted, so that they go on a hunger strike to do good deeds?

I knew it wasn't with my toes.

It's probably because this is where the City God Temple used to be!

Although the temple was demolished, the breath it left behind was still there, and it was still dragging nearby ghosts here to report on the punishment of the city god and the judge.

However, the city god is long gone, but the ghosts and ghosts that have been dragged over have all gathered here, and slowly formed a terrifying scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night.

It is precisely because of this that the original residents have suffered a lot of hardships, and they have to move out of this place in panic.

"And after that, the two resentful ghosts entrenched here are likely to discover the existence of the City God Temple, and they want to destroy it but are afraid of its divine power, so they want to permanently seal it from being discovered, and also eliminate the possibility of the appearance of a new City God......"

"That is to say......"

Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that he had found the point.

"The City God Temple should be hidden far away from the 8th floor, so it deliberately led me to the 8th floor......"

There are 6 minutes left.

……

Time was tight, and Su Bai could only make bold calculations.

"The 7th floor should be unlikely, only one floor apart, but it is to lure the wolf into the room, it is better to block me directly on the first floor."

"It's impossible on the 6th floor, I didn't get any obstruction when I went to save Ge Ningjian who was blinded by the ghost just now, which means that the resentful ghost thinks that the 6th floor is very safe and doesn't need to be blocked."

"Then there are 5 to 2 floors left......

"When I sent them to search just now, it started from the second floor, and there was no outbreak of abnormality at that time, which means that it is also very safe."

"What is the ...... on the first floor between the 5th and 3rd floors?"

After Su Bai pondered for a while, he didn't immediately blindly split his hands to look for it, but quickly flew to the 5th floor, and then walked towards the depths of the corridor step by step.

Darkness and deep silence.

The hallway was quiet, and the only sound on the floor was the rustling of blackened palms.

Su Bai casually pushed open a door next to him, the door was unlocked, and inside was a house that had been emptied, and a lot of dust had accumulated on the ground.

"No response......"

"Go to the next floor!"

Su Bai didn't hesitate to turn around and take them downstairs.

Ghosts don't have the same high IQ as humans.

It was a clue he could see from the two ghosts before.

The crazy mind filled with resentment can't even do normal conversation, and can only rely on the most basic instincts and subconscious to judge and attack.

Therefore, luring him away from the City God Temple is already the limit of their intelligence, and it is unlikely that they will deliberately set a trap to lure him into the urn.

Therefore, theoretically, as long as he uses himself as bait to seduce the resentful ghost and can't help but make a move, he can basically determine the location of the City God Temple.

There are 4 minutes left.

……

Fourth floor.

Su Bai took two steps into the depths of the corridor, and keenly felt a sense of peeping coming from the depths of the darkness.

It's very different from the previous layers.

"On this level?"

Seeing the reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The most feared thing is that this ghost hides and has no reaction.

Looking at the six closed doors in the corridor in front of him, he pushed them open one by one in order.

First Door......

Second Door......

Just as he pushed to the third door, a cold aura suddenly came over him, as if a cold corpse was clinging to his back.

Then, suddenly, a ghost hand as black as ink reached out and pressed it on the hand he had placed on the doorknob.

Gripping tightly, the nails were long and pointed, as if they were about to pierce his flesh, and there was an extremely cold breath, as if it was not a hand but a piece of ice taken out of the ice cellar.

Su Bai's heart tightened, and he turned his head to look, only to see that this ghost hand actually stretched out from the darkness on the wall, as if a human hand had grown on the wall!

He instantly understood that the darkness of this whole house was part of this ghost!

This is where the strange sense of peeping comes from just now.

The strength of this thing is a little more terrifying than I thought, and there is even a little bit of wisdom.

Presumably, the white-clothed female ghost was also controlled by it to attract her attention.

It may also have sensed that Su Bai and the others were not easy to deal with, so it hid and didn't dare to make a move, and now seeing that the plan failed, it had to take action.

There are still 3 minutes left at this point.

Su Bai directly held the ghost hand with his backhand to prevent it from retracting, and then Ge Ningjian, who had already prepared, threw out the rope and tied the ghost hand firmly.

It's just that the ghost hand saw that he couldn't escape, so he cut off the hand directly, and the remaining part of the arm still melted into the darkness on the wall like a liquid, turning into nothing.

Escaped......

After the remaining entangled ghost hand lost its energy supply, it turned into a puddle of black powder and sprinkled it on the ground in an instant.

Su Bai didn't have time to take care of this resentful ghost for the time being, and continued to push open the closed door.

The inside of the door has not been eroded by the darkness of the outside world, and it seems to have retained its original appearance. Even the furniture was still there, not like the other rooms were empty after the owners moved out.

He walked in, and there were still a few red seals on the floor, which must have been torn before.

When you look around, you can see some dried blood stains on the floor and walls, and some deep knife marks on the wooden floor, as if a terrible murder had been committed here.

But that's not the point.

After Su Bai walked around the room, he finally found what he was looking for in a room that was suspected to be a child.

A dirty, dirty jade seal.

Dropped in the middle of a crowd of toys, it was unremarkable, and it didn't even look as eye-catching as the colorful robot toy next to it.

But it was this thing, echoing his ghost token, that made him have a strong urge to pick it up.

"City God's Seal!"

Su Bai exhaled lightly.

He guessed that it might have been picked up by a child in the field, and instead of handing it over to an adult, he took it home to play with.

Unexpectedly, it was this little thing that caused countless ghosts to descend......

There is only one minute left.

Su Bai bent down to pick it up.

When he held it, the surface of the seal suddenly bloomed with a faint fluorescence, and the dust and mud on the surface automatically fell off, leaving behind a flawless and sacred aura.

And the golden light of merit on his body also vibrated with it, and the light had reached an unprecedented brightness!

At the same time, the heavy ringing bell sounded in my ears again, and the ancient voice sounded again, vaguely sounding a little tired.

"At the end of the time, candidates who have not arrived will be disqualified immediately, and the candidates present will be seated immediately. Prepare to start your exam......"

Su Bai's eyes flickered, and he found that he was in a mysterious hall at this time, surrounded by a white mist, and it was not real, but there was an ancient desk in front of him, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

"Is this the start of the exam?"

It was much simpler than he thought. There are a little more hurdles before the exam.

Su Bai thought to himself, sat down cross-legged against the desk, and opened the exam paper that was covered on the table, wanting to see what the questions were in the Chenghuang exam.

It can't be a test or a commentary, right......

Turning it over, there was only one question written in block letters with a brush on the paper-

"How can a good ghost kill an evil person?"

"It's a test of my philosophy."

Su Bai knew it in his heart, but after looking around, he was a candidate who was full of calculations, so he didn't panic at all, and after sitting down and thinking for a while, he began to write and answer.

The brush is still quite difficult to use, so the words written are also crooked.

"Ghosts harm people, they should be punished heavily! But the wicked are deeply guilty......"

He didn't study philosophy much, and judged whether it was right or wrong based entirely on his own experience.

So in short, his answer is one thing at a time, killing people should be punished, but killing the wicked is a salvation and can be appropriately dealt with lightly......

Soon, I wrote a small essay in a free way, and saw for myself that there was basically no problem except for the poor writing of the brush, so I covered the answer sheet again and put it on the table, closed my eyes and waited for the exam to end.
