"Almost... You're waiting for me here, not all the ghosts are the same as you encountered, I'll go check first, and if they're all ghosts that need help, I'll call them to inform you. ”

As I spoke, I looked towards the innermost staircase on the right.

"Who will notify me?" Xiaoqiu asked suspiciously, not noticing that the iron egg had come out of the umbrella and had already detoured behind her.

"Me, hey, hey, hey."

Tie Dan leaned behind Xiaoqiu and said mischievously to Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu turned around and took two steps back, looked at Tie Dan and said:

"You two are in a gang? Why couldn't I see you before? ”

Iron Egg smiled, and was about to give some explanation when its eyes suddenly closed.

After feeling it for a few seconds, Tie Dan opened his eyes violently and floated towards the staircase.

Iron Egg's reaction was a little violent, and I didn't know what was going on.

Judging by Tie Dan's reaction, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing.

I left a sentence and ran along:

"Stay here and wait for my news."

Walking through the dimly lit lobby, I didn't hesitate to burrow into the stairwell at the back.

The inside of the stairwell was not dim anymore, there was no light in it, there was only darkness.

"Iron eggs?"

I have a bad premonition, this iron egg is not usually like this.

Why did you get out of my sight without hesitation this time?

There were a few echoes of myself in the hallway, but I didn't get any response from Tiedan, no matter what.

I took out the knockoff phone I had just bought and turned on the flashlight.

At that time, there were very few mobile phones with flashlights, and I bought this phone because of this function.

Turning on my phone's flashlight, I hurried up the stairs, and only my own footsteps could be heard in the darkness.

According to Xiaoqiu, she saw the Yin on the third floor.

It is very likely that Tie Dan also went to the third floor.

When I quickly ran to the third floor, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tie Dan stood by the doorway on the third floor, staring at the inside of the third floor without moving.

I leaned over slowly, and also stuck out my head to look carefully.

There is a large space of about 200 square meters outside the staircase doorway.

There are no wall partitions in this space, only load-bearing columns in the middle.

It's like a big, big empty room with two big window holes in the outer wall.

With the help of the light that penetrated the room from outside, the room could be seen in a rough outline.

In the area furthest from the doorway, dozens of figures swayed inside.

They're all doing the same thing.

Shake it from side to side a few times, then slowly kneel down and kowtow.

Then he slowly stood up again, shook a few times and knelt down and kowtowed.

And so on and so forth.

Their movements are not neat, but their flow is the same, and it looks like they are worshipping someone.

"Iron Egg, what's going on?" I asked in a whisper.

The iron egg slowly floated to a position as high as mine, and said in his mouth:

"These ghosts are trapped here."

"I know, I'm asking why you don't go in?"

I said as I counted the number over there.

There are twenty of them that can be clearly seen.

There are also some that cannot be seen from hiding in the shadows.

A rough estimate is that there are at least thirty or more.

And it's all resentful souls without reincarnation, these resentful souls don't look particularly fierce, and Tie Dan shouldn't be afraid of it.

Tie Dan pointed to it and said:

"This place is sealed by talismans, judging from these talismans, the way of drawing talismans is no worse than that of you and Sister Wen Jing combined, and it is ....."

"And what?"

I asked suspiciously, Tie Dan's expression was very solemn, and he seemed to be a little unsure of what was behind this "and".

Tie Dan closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, and then said:

"And, I felt a kind of like-mindedness."

"What? The breath of the same kind? You're saying there's a Eater in there, too? ”

I was shocked and said, if there is a Eater here, then it all makes sense.

These resentful spirits were gathered here, and they must have been used to provide soul essence for that devouring ghost.

On the way here before, I vaguely asked Xiaoqiu how many she saw.

She said that there were probably dozens of ghosts in it, and now there were only twenty or thirty left.

The other Yin Spirits were undoubtedly sucked by the Eater of the Underworld.

And when Xiaoqiu saw those ghosts, it was only a few days ago, and she had sucked dozens of resentful spirits a few days ago.

It's not slow, at least not slower than Iron Egg.

I don't know if the speed at which the devourer digests the soul essence is related to the strength of the ability.

But what is certain is that the devouring ghosts in this are definitely raised by others.

If this matter doesn't end well today, I will have one more strong enemy.

"Iron Egg, how does the devourer in there compare to you? Also, are there any living people in there? ”

I asked in a low voice.

This rune paper that seals the door hole has no effect on us.

But if the Eater of the Dead is too powerful, we will have a vicious fight.

Without knowing the strength of my opponent, I have no reason to punch and lunge.

What's more, there are guards outside.

Once they find out, things are even more difficult to handle.

Tie Dan shook his head and said:

"We can't sense each other's strength, but what is certain is that there are no living people in there except for those resentful spirits and that devouring ghost."

I thought for a moment and said:

"Iron Egg, do you want those soul spirits inside?"

"In general, I don't have much need for these ghosts." Tie Dan said.

"Why?"

The soul spirit of the resentful soul can help him find the path of reincarnation, how can he say that there is no big need?

Tie Dan smiled and said:

"My starting point is high, since I digested that evil ghost in your hometown, these soul essences of resentful souls can only be used as a foreshadowing for me to find the path of reincarnation, and they will not help me improve my strength in the slightest."

"Say what? Isn't all this to help you find your way to reincarnation? ”

I said solemnly.

Iron Egg felt a little sad when he said this, and it seemed that his thoughts had detached from his original heart, and he had become disconnected from my goal.

Tie Dan shook his head and said:

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Because you need me, I don't want to go so fast."

Tie Dan said, turning around and going downstairs.

"Wait, your soul spirit is still a lot short, you won't leave immediately after sucking these resentful spirits, how difficult it is to find resentful spirits, don't give up these things in front of you."

I scolded him.

Iron Egg's thoughts have been made clear.

It just wants to find some powerful demons to improve its strength.

I don't want those resentful spirits to speed up its reincarnation.

"Big brother, after sucking that evil ghost, I feel that I can vaguely feel the reincarnation path, and I'm worried that if I suck too many soul essences, I will be taken directly to the reincarnation path."

Iron Egg said with his back to me.

"Are you sure?"

I asked happily, if it was really as Tie Dan said, it was really a good thing.

Tie Dan shook his head and said:

"I'm not sure, but I don't want to take this risk, I can have one or two powerful evil soul spirits, but I don't want so many resentful soul spirits. What's more, we don't know the strength of that kind of person inside, plus the guy who drew the talisman, this matter is very risky for us. ”

"Well, your analysis is also correct, then we won't make this enemy."

I lifted my feet and walked downstairs.

Maybe the devourers in this are just for reincarnation.

For the sake of the reincarnation of the iron egg, delaying its reincarnation is itself an unkind thing.

Although this is unlikely, it is not impossible.

At this point, I can only console myself with this seemingly legitimate reason.

The ducks in hand have all flown away, and this trip is considered to be in vain.

Walking downstairs, Xiaoqiu was still standing in the corner, and when she saw me coming, she quickly asked:

"How's that, can you help them?"

I turned off the flashlight on my phone, and was about to answer her, when Yuanyuan's phone called, and she said:

"Officer Yang is looking for you, he doesn't know your new number, you can give him a back."

I stood a little in the corner and dialed Officer Yang's number.

Officer Yang is very efficient, and he has already found some clues through the line of the bald head.

He told me that the other day they came to a building and set up some things.

I don't know what it is, but it must have something to do with the people in the organization.

So he's leading people here now to see if he can find some clues.

When I heard about the unfinished building, I unconsciously thought of the unfinished building I am in now.

Could it be that the Eater of the Underworld above was raised by that organization?

If that's the case, then our trip is really not in vain......
