"Ahh ”

"Because the illusion is gone." Han Jiuchen said.

Then Han Jiuchen opened the cup, and the yellow rune paper that was originally folded into a triangle had turned black at the moment, and the center part was still faintly glowing red, looking like a black chocolate triangle with a red fruit candy in it.

"He's been taken in?" I asked, surprised.

Han Jiuchen snorted and picked up the black triangle.

He tried to cover it with the torn white piece of paper, but his movement was limited when he lifted his arm—I clung to his arm.

Han Jiuchen looked at me, a little helpless: "You let go first, so I can't move on to the next step." ”

"Haha...... Okay, okay. I was a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and reluctantly let go.

Han Jiuchen continued what he had just done.

The moment the white paper was covered with the black triangle, it burned, but instead of burning to ashes, it kept its human form upright and floated in the air, as if it had become a small burning man.

"Lead the way." Han Jiuchen said that the little fire man seemed to be able to understand, so he really floated away.

Han Jiuchen didn't say a word, held the black triangle in his hand, and followed as soon as he took a step.

And I was dumbfounded, I couldn't say a word, and my heart said that there are really all kinds of wonders in the world!

Seeing that I was still stunned, Han Jiuchen turned back and grabbed my wrist, "Keep up!" ”

I recovered from the shock and chased the little fire man with him.

Han Jiuchen and I followed the little fire man into a dilapidated courtyard on the west side of the house where only the wooden frame of the wall remained.

As soon as I set foot in it, I felt that this place was even more eerie than the previous courtyard.

Even people like me, who don't understand anything, are clearly aware that the resentment here is very heavy.

As we crossed what looked like a threshold, I felt a gust of wind blow quickly past my ears, followed by a whining sound all around, like the sound of the wind, like the cry of a man.

The miserable complaints, one after another, made my scalp tingle when I heard it.

As the wind blew, the little fire man suddenly stopped, and the burning flame was extinguished.

Han Jiuchen vigilantly protected me behind him, observing the situation around him.

But there was nothing to see in the courtyard except for that terrible sound.

I whispered, "Why can't I see anything...... Can you see it? ”

Seeing him shake his head, I thought to myself that it's over, the fear of not being seen is the most terrifying, if even Han Jiuchen can't see anything, then don't we have to explain here?

I was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and the palms of the hands I held with Han Jiuchen were also full of sweat.

Probably sensing my nervousness and fear, Han Jiuchen squeezed my hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I can still handle this level." ”

Hearing him say that, I felt a little more relieved.

Without the little fire man to lead the way, we can only find the rest of the way by ourselves.

Han Jiuchen took me by the hand and observed around this courtyard, but found no clues, and then bypassed the remnants of the hall and entered the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard was much more open than the outside, and there was nothing to be seen, but in the corner of the left wall, there was a towering tree, towering into the sky.

"That's it." Han Jiuchen said.

I have an impression of this big tree, Han Jiuchen gave me a fetus before, and there is such a big tree behind that ghost fetus!

Sure enough, it has something to do with that Tang Xuan here!

Han Jiuchen closed his eyes, twisted his sword fingers in both hands and shook them in front of his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, I could clearly see his body stiffen, as if he had seen something that made him feel terrifying.

"I see...... Waiting for a living hell ......"

As soon as I heard the word hell, the fear in my heart instantly spread, and I immediately looked up to see his expression, his eyebrows furrowed, and his lips pursed, which was solemn I had never seen before.

I knew very well that curiosity killed cats, and I thought to myself that since even Han Jiuchen reacted like this, then it would be better for me not to see it.

Han Jiuchen asked me to stand there and wait, and he walked towards the big tree.

As the distance between him and the tree got closer, I noticed that the black triangle he held in his hand gradually glowed red.

Just as I wanted to open my mouth to remind him, I saw him snort and throw the black triangle out vigorously, and the whole person took a few steps back, and the palm that held the black triangle before seemed to be burned and bubbling black.

After the black triangle was thrown out, it did not fall to the ground, but made a red light in the air, and it turned into Hao'er's appearance.

"Daddy is bad, bullying Hao'er." Hao'er said this, and then let out a gurgling eerie laugh.

Han Jiuchen snorted coldly, and swung towards Hao'er with the heavenly punishment.

Hao'er dodged quickly, still giggling, "Can't hit, can't hit." ”

How could Han Jiuchen let him escape, holding the sword flower in his hand, the Heavenly Punishment Sword Qi was like a whip, chasing Hao'er away.

This time, the sword qi fell precisely on Hao'er's body, and he immediately let out a terrible scream, and thick black smoke came out of the part of his body that was answered.

"Ahh

Seeing this, Han Jiuchen took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to beat Hao'er.

Hao'er was beaten all over the yard, and at this moment his body was already covered in black mist.

"Ahhh

Hao'er seemed to be unable to endure such a whipping any longer, he roared angrily, his voice was sharp and piercing, and it reached my ears, which shook my eardrums and even my brain began to ache faintly.

It felt as painful as hearing the female ghost's sonic attack in the school dormitory before.

I covered my ears tightly and crouched on the ground, unable to speak.

Han Jiuchen quickly retreated to my side and yelled, "Bite the tip of your tongue." ”

I immediately did so, biting the tip of my tongue hard, and as the smell of blood spread in my mouth, I felt much better.

At this time, I saw that Hao'er had floated to the tree, his face was hideous and terrifying, and the bloodshot in his eyes expanded outward, gradually crawling all over his face.

When his face was covered with blood, the bloodshot suddenly bulged and turned into something like a tree stem.

He kept chanting something in his mouth, and it was too far away for me to hear clearly, until his body disappeared into the trunk of the tree and merged with the big tree, and then he shouted, "Thousand Lamps and Spirits, listen to my orders." ”

Suddenly, the whole space began to shake violently, and I sat down on the ground, my hands on the ground, but suddenly I felt very hot.

I was so frightened that I jumped up, and when I turned my head, I saw a lotus lamp coming out of the ground...... Wrong! Not one!

I looked towards the big tree and found that there were four rows of lotus lanterns scattered around the tree, and there were too many of them to count!

"Han, Han Jiuchen...... "I was so scared that I even stumbled when I spoke, and my forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Han Jiuchen scolded angrily, retreated and pulled me away.

He held my hand much tighter than before, and my hand hurt, but I didn't dare to scream.

As we ran, the lotus lantern emerged from the ground following our footsteps.

Even if we turn the direction and run, the whole space will rotate with our direction, and the lotus lanterns under our feet will still float one by one, and we can't get rid of it.

The feeling of being chased step by step was very bad, and the feeling of nervousness and fear was like being caught and executed by Ling Chi in the next second.

We ran out of the house and into the street.

At this time, the streets have long since lost the bustle of the previous when we first arrived, and have been replaced by ghosts.

They were the same as the ones in the house, with green faces and fangs, walking unconsciously.

We weaved through the hordes of ghosts to where we first appeared.

There was no road beyond that, it was dark, like the edge of the map in the game.

And those lotus lanterns, as our footsteps extended here, also stopped.

I was out of breath and sweating profusely, and I couldn't even speak.

"W-This in the end...... What the hell is going on? What hell did you just say? ”

"Wait for hell." Han Jiuchen said, "In the courtyard before, I saw the tragic scene of waiting for hell. ”

"According to the Fourth Book of the Origin of the Causes, the Fourth Hell Product, the ghosts that fall into the living hell will kill each other, slap and cut each other with iron claws, and then die of a broken death, and when the cool breeze blows, they will die and rise again and continue to suffer."

I made up the scene in my head, and I only felt a chill run through my spine.

"Of course, it can't be a real living hell there, it's just that there are people who imitate the punishment created by waiting for the living hell, so that these ghosts kill each other, keep resurrecting, and can't die." Han Jiuchen explained, "This also explains why there is such a prosperous and peaceful illusion in this town, only after experiencing such a peaceful and happy life, and then being sent to hell to be tortured, these ghosts will feel a strong gap, and then resentful." ”

"But didn't you say that there is no resentment in this town?" I was confused.

Han Jiuchen shook his head and said, "I also said that there must be a demon when something goes wrong. ”

"So ......?"

"So, it's not that there is no resentment, but that resentment is sucked away." Han Jiuchen said, "The big trees in the courtyard before were constantly absorbing grievances. ”

I gasped in fright, "You mean to ...... Tang Xuan is also collecting these grievances? ”

Han Jiuchen snorted and replied.

I asked, "What about these lights......

"Thousand Lights Ghost Seal, this ghost town is the real Thousand Lights Ghost Seal!" Han Jiuchen said, with chagrin and anger in his tone.

Then he asked me, "Did you bring a gun?" ”

I nodded.

Han Jiuchen quickly rummaged through the toolbox, and finally took out a peachwood sword and handed it to me, the body of the sword was engraved with charms that I couldn't understand.

"If these ghosts attack you, shoot them first, and when the soybeans run out, use a peachwood sword."

I hurriedly asked, "What about you?" ”

"I'll go back to the formation and find a way to tear open an exit, you stay here, and as soon as you have the opportunity, you will escape immediately." Han Jiuchen said cautiously.

I bit my lip and my nose was sore.

Judging from Su Xiao's description and my experience, Han Jiuchen has always been in a state of strategic planning, and he has never been so nervous as he is now.

I had a feeling of facing the end of the world.

I guess there must be a big thing in the tree, and now all I have to do is listen to him and not cause trouble for him.

"Okay, I'll leave when I find a chance, I'll go back to Chu Xuan to save you."

Han Jiuchen shook his head and said, "I'm telling you this, I don't want you to move the rescue soldiers after you go out, the situation here, no one in Chu Xuan or the bureau can deal with it, you take care of yourself, don't worry about me." ”

I was already uncomfortable, and it was even more uncomfortable when I heard this.

I sniffed and asked, "What about you?" Can you get out of it all? ”

"Yes." Han Jiuchen said affirmatively.
