Just as Jiang Qiao was considering whether or not to go up the stairs.
Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs, as if someone was rushing down the stairs.
Immediately afterwards.
Following the first set of footsteps, a second set of footsteps appeared.
The second sound was very heavy, as if someone was deliberately stomping their feet.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Each step that landed on the stairwell floor echoed in the stairwell.
The echo even made Jiang Qiao slightly dizzy.
"A ghost has arrived, and it can attack from multiple directions."
Jiang Qiao's face darkened.
These footsteps were unusual; they must have affected him even from at least two floors away.
How terrifying would it be to face each other?
He quickly turned around and retreated back to the intersection, then took out a mirror and placed it on the side of the road.
The mirror perfectly reflects the scene behind that door.
This vengeful ghost is probably of a very high level. He plans to see if he can capture it and turn it into a puppet!
The hurried footsteps grew closer, and soon a slightly staggering figure rushed out of the door.
The man was wearing a trench coat and carrying a large machete. Every step he took as he ran left a muddy footprint on the ground.
"Is it her? Liu Yuanyuan?"
Jiang Qiao immediately recognized the other person.
He was just wondering where the woman would go after room 555 disappeared.
I never expected to run into you like this!
They really had guts; they actually went upstairs.
However, Liu Yuanyuan at this time no longer had the same high spirits she had before.
More than a dozen crisscrossing wounds appeared on her charming face, and blood flowed down her cheeks, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
Looks like they've suffered a huge loss!
However, her gaze remained calm, showing no sign of panic.
As she rushed out of the stairwell, she even threw something inside; Jiang Qiao vaguely saw that it was a wooden sign.
Then, the door, which was originally half-open, slowly closed by itself!
Holy crap!
"This woman can control the gates here?"
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
Just how many secrets does this guy have?
Initially on the ghost train, he simply regarded Liu Yuanyuan as an experienced awakener.
The other party's calm and collected way of luring him off the train with ghost stories opened his eyes.
She then entered the central area of Nightmare City to complete the mission and survived. This once again proves that she is exceptionally talented in terms of courage, intelligence, and strength!
Moreover, she said that she had only been in the supernatural world for two years.
Although Jiang Qiao didn't know whether it was true or not, he usually assumed that such trivial matters were true.
Therefore, he greatly admired Liu Yuanyuan.
However, it seems a bit unreasonable for an awakened individual who has only been in the supernatural world for two years to have such a deep connection with a village in the underworld.
"This has nothing to do with me, but I can try to get some information out of you."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered slightly.
For him, the details of the village were not important.
He was just habitually collecting information.
For ordinary awakened beings, knowing too much is not a good thing.
However, for Jiang Qiao, knowing more will enable him to grasp the direction for the future.
This knowledge is currently only in scattered fragments.
But one day, when they accumulate to a certain level, they will surely be able to connect with each other and trigger a qualitative change!
At that time, he will truly uncover the secrets of the supernatural world.
And this secret may be related to the mystery of his time travel!
He never gave up the idea of going home.
However, given our current weakness, we can only keep these thoughts to ourselves.
...
After closing the door, Liu Yuanyuan turned and ran.
However, as soon as she broke out of the dead end, she immediately noticed the mirror placed in the middle of the road.
He suddenly stopped, his expression becoming alert.
A mirror at this kind of intersection is not a good omen!
However, she soon saw Jiang Qiao standing in the corridor with a cold expression.
⑧bOok.Com
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and a bright smile appeared on his face.
However, with her face covered in wounds, her smile now appeared extremely ferocious.
"Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here."
She said in a gentle tone.
Because of the muscle strain, the wound was bleeding profusely, with flesh torn apart and even bone exposed.
Just looking at it gives me goosebumps.
But this woman didn't take it seriously at all.
"I also think it's a coincidence."
"For Miss Liu to be in such a terrible state, it seems the vengeful ghost upstairs is quite fierce."
Jiang Qiao said calmly.
"Mr. Jiang is joking, I..."
Before Liu Yuanyuan could finish speaking, the closed door suddenly creaked, as if someone was pushing it.
"Now is not the time to chat, Mr. Jiang, let's leave here first."
Liu Yuanyuan's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice.
"Is this vengeful ghost very scary?"
Jiang Qiao asked.
"I was no match for it. I almost died after just a brief confrontation."
Liu Yuanyuan stared intently at the stairwell, her eyes filled with apprehension.
"Mr. Jiang, if you don't plan to leave, then I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, she didn't linger and turned to leave.
Just then, with a loud crash, the door was pushed open.
A hunched figure appeared behind the door.
The figure was dressed in a bright red funeral shroud, with a sheepskin hat on its head. Its body was stiff and blackened, exuding a deathly aura. A knotted hemp rope was wrapped around its hands, making it look like a corpse that had just crawled out of its grave!
"The shroud on this ghost is actually made of satin, which is quite unusual."
Jiang Qiao carefully observed the vengeful ghost.
Satin, which sounds like "to lose one's children" in Chinese, is absolutely unsuitable for making funeral clothes.
And that sheepskin hat is a big no-no!
According to old folklore, if a dead person wears leather items close to their body, they will be reborn as an animal in their next life!
Furthermore, it is taboo to have any knots on the deceased's body, as this also violates that taboo.
So many problems combined.
In addition, the burial shroud was a bright red.
That already demonstrates the seriousness of the problem!
"I wonder if they're as good as those legs."
Jiang Qiao stared at the vengeful ghost slowly walking into the fifth floor. He didn't feel scared; instead, he had a strange feeling.
His "mystery chef" talent, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly reacted after he saw this vengeful ghost.
This feeling was not unfamiliar to him.
Some vengeful spirits possess the potential to further enhance one's talents.
For example, Jiang Qiao also sensed the power of "Clay Pot Blood" when he first encountered it, which upgraded "Overlord Body" to S-rank!
Let's give it a shot!
Jiang Qiao stared at the vengeful ghost, a fierce expression gradually appearing on his face.
"If Liu Yuanyuan could escape being hunted down, why can't I fight?"
The next second.
Jiang Qiao spread his arms wide, and surging black lightning burst forth from his body like giant pythons, encircling him.
Immediately afterwards.
A cold, eerie green flame rose from beneath his feet, engulfing him.
The interplay of thunder and fire caused some kind of strange change!
The lights in the nearby corridor suddenly blazed on, increasing in brightness by more than ten times!
The dim, yellowish light instantly became extremely glaring!
Jiang Qiao actually managed to influence the corridor lights with his own power!
Liu Yuanyuan, who had already run a distance, suddenly stopped and looked back at Jiang Qiao with an incredulous expression!
"This is... a sixth-tier?"
at this time.
Jiang Qiao, standing still, exuded a strong murderous aura.
The gray light in his eyes kept piling up, even blurring his entire face.
Watching the vengeful ghost approach.
He said in an icy tone:
"A threefold increase is not just about the Lightning Thunder Fist."
"And the Ghost Realm!"
⑧ьОоk. com

This is Jiangqiao's first performance after entering the fifth stage.
The fusion of "Lightning Thunder Fist" and "White Bone Fire" triggered a qualitative change!
At this moment, three inches below his navel, a jet-black spherical lightning bolt was constantly rising and falling, with a vague outline of a fetus inside.
This is the Thunder Spirit in its nascent stage, and it represents the biggest change since entering the fifth tier!
Legend has it that the first thunder god in the primordial era was a thunder spirit born from nature!
Thunder is the punishment of heaven and earth.
Lei Ling, on the other hand, was born with the ability to control thunder!
Taking this step also signifies that Jiangqiao's "Lightning Thunder Fist" has undergone a transformation!
Although it is still called "Lightning Thunder Fist", it has already transcended its constraints and begun to transform from "technique" to "method"!
He became a true "Thunder Mage"!
If one day, Lei Ling can be fully conceived, then it is very likely that it will shift from "law" to "Tao"!
Besides.
The "critical hit" effect also undergoes a qualitative change after reaching level five.
Not only has the trigger rate reached 100%, but the effect has also increased from two times to three times!
This makes Jiangqiao's ghost realm even more powerful!
"Without using any supernatural items, let's see how far I can go with my own abilities!"
Jiang Qiao looked coldly at the approaching ghost.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The ghost made a dull thud with every step it took, a sound that even the carpet couldn't block out.
This is a paranormal attack!
Jiang Qiao saw streaks of blood-red threads extending from the ghost's feet toward him.
However, all these threads were intercepted by the ghosts!
It can only be like graffiti on glass, scattered outside the ghost realm, impossible to truly get close to!
But Jiang Qiao did not let his guard down.
Even after the curse was removed, the sound of footsteps still made him feel somewhat oppressed and suffocated.
It felt like being locked in a small room.
"What a fierce old ghost."
Jiang Qiao squinted, and bluish-purple runes appeared all over his body.
"Unrivaled Body" activated!
As soon as the invincibility skill, which grants immunity to crowd control and damage reduction, was activated, he was relieved from the feeling of being unable to breathe.
"Unrivaled Body" is Jiang Qiao's true defensive talent. Unfortunately, as the enemies get stronger, it has become somewhat ineffective.
He once conducted a test and found that the S-level "Super Armor" could perfectly resist the damage and control of the peak fourth-level enemy after being upgraded to the fourth level.
However, Jiang Qiao now frequently fights opponents of higher levels, facing enemies of level five or above!
You can't expect a Tier 4 talent to withstand damage from a Tier 5 peak or even a Tier 6.
That's unrealistic!
The only way to make this talent play an important role again is to upgrade it to the fifth tier!
...
The gray light of the ghost realm grew stronger and stronger.
Blood vessels kept crawling out of Jiang Qiao's eyes.
The intense swelling and pain made him grimace.
"Bring it in first!"
The next moment.
The surrounding ghostly realm suddenly began to transform, turning into the shape of pipes that quickly covered the vengeful ghost.
At this moment, it looks like a glass tube connecting the river bridge and the vengeful ghost.
This technique allows the power of the ghost realm to be more concentrated!
However, Jiang Qiao was not at ease.
A dense array of "sealing symbols" began to appear behind him!
The "sealing talisman" has the effect of sealing away supernatural powers.
8ьoOК． сom
If someone is an evolved being or an awakened being, they will be unable to use supernatural powers once they are affixed to this mark.
However, if you stick it on a vengeful ghost, it can stop the ghost from moving!
With the help of the ghost realm's teleportation, a huge number of talismans instantly covered the entire body of the vengeful ghost, enveloping it!
A single sealing talisman has limited effectiveness and cannot stop overly terrifying supernatural phenomena.
Therefore, Jiangqiao chose the swarm tactic!
One isn't enough, so we'll have two!
Two won't do, so let's have four!
For other awakened individuals with talisman abilities, they must stop and rest after drawing seven or eight talismans.
However, Jiangqiao, which possesses the "Tongtianlu" (a magical artifact), is not subject to this restriction.
Moreover, after fusing the two talents of "Tongtianlu" and "Sword Immortal", the power of the talisman has broken through the fourth-order limit and reached the fifth-order level!
Furthermore, talismans can also be enhanced by "critical hits"!
With hundreds of "sealing talismans" combined with the "slowing" effect of the ghost realm, Jiang Qiao believed that even a sixth-order vengeful ghost would definitely be affected!
Although he lost the "evil spirit cleaver", in terms of strength, at this moment, he has far surpassed when he first entered the village!
"How was the effect?"
Jiang Qiao stared intently at the fierce ghost that was coming towards him.
However, what happened next horrified Jiang Qiao.
The approaching vengeful spirit was indeed affected.
Although he can still move, every time he lifts or puts his foot down, it feels like he's doing slow motion, at least half as slow as before!
However, this situation soon changed.
The talisman that had been enveloping the vengeful spirit began to fade! The incantations originally drawn on it gradually disappeared, and black "福" (fortune) characters began to appear!
With the appearance of these "福" (good fortune) characters, the talismans lost their function and fell to the ground like waste paper.
The vengeful ghost continued to move forward.
This dead-end corridor was only about thirty meters long. Although its movement speed was limited, it still quickly reached the crossroads.
And it was at this time.
In the ghostly realm of Jiangqiao, twisted and pulsating shadows began to appear!
These shadows looked tattered and loose, like pieces of yellowed leather!
However, these leathers have a human shape, with limbs, torso, and head that can be distinguished.
Even the facial features are clearly visible!
Human skin!
This vengeful ghost actually summoned a large group of human skins.
These human skins appeared and quickly blocked the path of the vengeful ghost.
Jiang Qiao clearly felt resistance as the Ghost Realm expanded forward, as if it were pushing people forward!
"I see."
"The leather hat on its head was made from some kind of human skin ghost."
"These human skins can protect him from harm."
Jiang Qiao stared solemnly at the densely packed human skins, recalling the human skin ghosts in the Bincheng warehouse.
It is unclear whether there is any connection between the two.
"It neutralized my attack using two supernatural items without revealing its own abilities. But one thing is certain: a vengeful ghost of this level has more than one method of killing!"
"I must launch a second attack before it gets out of trouble."
Jiang Qiao's face revealed a fierce expression.
He would not allow the vengeful ghost to break free, otherwise the initiative he had gained would be lost.
At that point, it will turn into a head-on, desperate struggle!
"kill!"
A furious shout.
Jiang Qiao was instantly enveloped in gray light, looking like a pencil drawing with only an outline!
The next moment.
He carried raging thunder and trod on raging flames!
Take a step forward.
They appeared instantly behind the vengeful ghost!
⑧boОk. сοм

He actually dared to get close?"
At the other end of the corridor, Liu Yuanyuan, who had stopped to watch, had a drastic change in expression.
This vengeful ghost from the seventh floor was released by her own hand, so no one knows its horror better than her!
Even with all her methods, she still faced a near-death experience.
If she hadn't met Jiang Qiao, it would have been uncertain whether she could have escaped alive!
"His strength is surprisingly strong."
Liu Yuanyuan became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the document.
The previous speculation that Jiang Qiao had reached the fifth level was already quite astonishing.
But now it seems that the opponent's strength is not limited to this!
But how is that possible?
Six months ago, she met a survivor from Village No. 49.
That was a seasoned expert who had survived in the supernatural world for twenty-six years, and whose strength had reached the peak of the fifth rank!
A powerful and formidable force among humankind!
After all, the spirits in ordinary villages are only at the peak of the fifth rank.
However, the lightning and flames emanating from Jiang Qiao now made her feel that they were even more terrifying than those of a peak fifth-tier expert!
"How is this possible..."
Liu Yuanyuan was murdered in disbelief.
...
Using the teleportation ability of the Ghost Realm.
In an instant, Jiang Qiao appeared behind the vengeful ghost and truly felt its terror!
The moment he appeared, a chilling aura rushed towards him like a flood bursting its banks, rapidly eroding his body.
He felt like he had been thrown into a freezer at minus forty degrees Celsius!
If it were an ordinary person, they would lose their life simply by facing this aura.
However, Jiang Qiao was in his own ghost realm, and his invincible body also played a role, so it resisted the supernatural invasion to a certain extent.
He took a deep breath.
The next moment.
The lightning surrounding him, like a giant python seeing its prey, suddenly pounced on the vengeful ghost.
Meanwhile, the surging "white bone fire" also broke away from the river bridge, rising from the feet of the evil spirit and engulfing it!
The sealing talisman and the control of the ghost realm, coupled with the entanglement of lightning and green light.
At that moment, a tremendous change occurred!
In just a few seconds, the burial clothes on the vengeful ghost showed signs of burning!
soon.
As the flames and lightning intensified their attack, the vengeful spirit seemed unable to withstand the power any longer.
Flames and electricity shot out from its mouth, ears, nostrils, and eyes!
Jiang Qiao was overjoyed to see this.
It works!
It seems that this vengeful ghost is still within the sixth rank.
Since that's the case, let's go all out and kill it in one fell swoop!
Jiang Qiao raised his hand, and a deep, dark spherical lightning bolt began to condense in his palm, slowly enlarging like a balloon!
It was just an invisible thunderbolt, yet it gave people a heavy feeling.
If you look closely, you can even see human faces floating in the lightning.
"It's time to end this!"
Jiang Qiao stared into the other's lifeless eyes and unleashed a palm strike without hesitation!
Pfft!
A soft sound.
The ball lightning was slammed into the ghost's body!
Buzz—
A piercing sound rang out from inside the vengeful ghost's body.
Immediately afterwards.
The ghost's face began to contort.
happiness!
anger!
sorrow!
fear!
despair!
Roar!
Laughing!
roar!
...
The vengeful ghost was like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, with unfamiliar faces made of various electric currents constantly appearing on its face, piled up one on top of another.
It's like wearing a series of strange masks!
The vengeful ghost raised its hands, seemingly wanting to tear off these faces that didn't belong to it, but its hands were directly struck by electric current and couldn't touch them.
As more and more faces appeared, cracks began to appear on the ghost's head.
⑻ьOoК. СОm
It seems that one human head cannot support so many faces!
Then, with a "click".
Its head shattered instantly, like a piece of porcelain that had been smashed on the ground!
Then, the vengeful ghost's body fell heavily to the ground and became motionless.
...
"Dead?"
Liu Yuanyuan stared at the scene in shock.
Sixth rank!
An incredible idea popped into her mind and she couldn't shake it off.
It's hard to believe, but I can't help but believe it!
"This level of strength is top-tier, even among the top fifty... no, the top thirty villages!"
"But he seemed completely unfamiliar with the supernatural world, like..."
"A newcomer."
"How exactly did he acquire this power?"
Liu Yuanyuan's heart was filled with turmoil, and one question after another flashed through her mind.
Jiang Qiao's behavior seemed very contradictory to him!
On one hand, its strength is terrifyingly powerful, capable of killing a sixth-tier vengeful ghost, which is not simply a matter of being sixth-tier.
At least a senior-level sixth rank!
However, on the other hand, judging from his words and actions, he seemed like a newcomer.
Although Jiang Qiao seems to know many secrets of the supernatural world.
However, overall, one can still see his lack of knowledge, unlike someone who has spent a long time in the supernatural world.
"can't read."
Liu Yuanyuan frowned deeply.
On the other side.
Jiang Qiao's expression was equally grave.
Because after he killed the vengeful ghost, "everyone who sees it gets a share" did not absorb a single trace of the ghost's energy.
This caused his initially joyful expression to gradually darken.
"So far, only ghost stories have been unable to absorb ghost energy."
"But this is clearly a vengeful ghost, not a ghost story."
Jiang Qiao picked up the headless corpse left on the ground by the vengeful ghost. It was heavy and cold, and looked just like an ordinary corpse.
"This is very abnormal!"
"Based on my current experience, there is only one explanation for this phenomenon."
"This ghost isn't dead yet!"
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered as he looked at the wooden door leading to the stairs.
It was as if this was confirming Jiang Qiao's guess.
A clear, dull footstep came from the entrance of the staircase.
Immediately afterwards.
A vengeful ghost dressed in a red funeral shroud and wearing a leather hat walked step by step into the fifth floor!
"really!"
Jiang Qiao's expression turned serious.
Without hesitation, they prepared to strike again.
However, he suddenly felt his heart catch in his throat, and a terrifying sense of crisis, like a bucket of cold water poured over him, instantly enveloped his entire body!
"What is that?"
A strange instinct brought about by a certain talent made him suddenly turn around.
At the same time.
Liu Yuanyuan, who hadn't left, shouted, "Watch out behind you!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Jiang Qiao saw the door of a room next door open silently.
Through the warm orange light inside the house, he saw a pot of vibrant roses by the door.
"Don't look at those flowers!"
Liu Yuanyuan's anxious voice came again.
However, it was too late!
When his gaze fell upon the pot of roses, the flowers withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Holy crap, it's a curse again!"
In an instant, Jiang Qiao felt a connection between himself and the rose, and his body began to age as the flower withered!
"Fuck you..."
Jiang Qiao discovered that even the Ghost Realm could not ward off this curse.
It seems that once you see it, you can't avoid it!
In just a few seconds, he transformed into an old man with a wrinkled face and white hair.
He took a few shaky steps forward. Suddenly, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
As the roses withered.
Jiang Qiao died of shock!
8ьoOК． сom

Geneva..."
Jiang Qiao, now restored to youth and life, quickly got up from the ground and threw a ball of flame into the room.
At this distance, even a blind throw will hit the target accurately!
Suddenly, flames roared up at the doorway of the house, and Jiang Qiao saw that in the firelight reflected on the ground, there seemed to be a figure constantly twisting.
But soon, these figures all disappeared.
Even the flowerpot turned into a wisp of black smoke in the fire.
That's dangerous.
Jiangqiao moved back a considerable distance, leaving the middle of the intersection.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The vengeful ghost's footsteps did not stop.
This reappearing vengeful ghost continued to follow the same route as the previous one, moving ever forward.
Its empty eyes were turned toward the river bridge, as if it could see his figure.
The next moment.
The vengeful ghost suddenly stretched out its left hand!
Emaciated and black as charcoal, with countless wounds constantly reopening, revealing the yellowish bones beneath the skin.
And with its movement.
Jiang Qiao saw a darkness instantly envelop the ghost realm.
The lights in the corridor, which were originally exceptionally bright, were now suppressed and appeared to be on the verge of going out at any moment!
Jiang Qiao felt a chilling aura attempting to invade the ghost realm and affect his body.
This power was so incredible that even the ghost realm, which existed between illusion and reality, was affected, and red frost began to appear!
A stiff feeling appeared on his body, as if he had entered the dead of winter and his body was somewhat out of his control.
"We failed to contain it this time, lost the initiative, and will probably have to pay a greater price."
Jiang Qiao was not in a hurry, but carefully observed the ghost's movements.
I started calculating the distance in my mind!
When he first killed the vengeful ghost, he took the initiative and used the slowing effect of the ghost realm combined with a large number of sealing talismans to successfully slow down the ghost.
This slowdown not only makes it move slower, but also stagnates the supernatural power within it.
It was this quick start that led to the rapid progress that followed!
The fusion of "Lightning Thunder Fist" and "White Bone Fire" instantly dealt it a severe blow!
After that, Jiang Qiao went all out, directly mobilizing the "magic" contained within the Thunder Spirit to kill it!
It can be said that this set of movements is very smooth and very effective!
Not only did they achieve the first kill of a sixth-tier vengeful ghost.
And it was a first kill without taking any damage!
However, no one expected that the ghostly thing was not the real one at all. After it was killed, an identical vengeful appeared ghost again.
Moreover, as soon as it entered the fifth floor, Jiang Qiao was cursed and died on the spot!
Because of the delay, by the time he was resurrected, the eerie aura emanating from the vengeful ghost was already terrifying, and the attack came instantly!
"We can't let it continue, otherwise the Ghost Realm will be restricted."
Jiang Qiao stared at the vengeful ghost, sensing the changes in the ghost realm.
A sixth-tier opponent is indeed difficult to deal with!
Since that's the case—
The next second.
A ceramic bowl used for begging appeared in his hand!
He wasn't sure if the vengeful ghost would revive after being killed again.
He wasn't going to waste any more time.
His recent battle proved that he has entered the sixth level!
Compared to before when he had to rely on the "evil spirit cleaver," his strength has increased dramatically!
"I used this bowl to deal with ghost stories in the shady woods."
"While it's uncertain whether the ghost story was injured, at least it hasn't caught up with us again."
"This is quite rare; everyone knows that ghost stories are just a quack tale."
Jiang Qiao pondered.
Since it can be used to deal with ghost stories, it should not be too much of a problem to deal with sixth-order vengeful ghosts.
With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated.
I gently tapped my fingers on the rim of the bowl.
⑻bOok． СOm
Clang—
Clang clang—
Clang clang clang—
A crisp, resonant sound rang out from the rim of the bowl and slowly drifted down the corridor.
soon.
The bottom of the earthenware bowl began to darken, as if it connected to a bottomless abyss!
To be honest...
Jiang Qiao doesn't really like using this bowl.
He had a hunch that something was constantly getting closer to the point where the bowl was connected.
Every time the ceramic bowl is used, it provides a new coordinate system for the bowl.
This intuition seemed to have been validated the last time it was used.
Therefore, he now regards the earthenware bowl as a last resort.
It will no longer be used lightly.
...
Not far behind Jiangqiao.
Liu Yuanyuan's expression was equally solemn.
This vengeful ghost actually had nothing to do with Jiang Qiao; she released it from the seventh floor.
Although she didn't understand why Jiang Qiao would take the initiative to fight the vengeful ghost.
But she couldn't remain indifferent!
Thinking of this, she pulled out the large cleaver she had been carrying on her back and strode towards the vengeful ghost.
at the same time.
With each step she took, a phantom image of a small child would split off from her body.
These children looked to be only ten years old, with bright smiles on their faces.
However, upon closer inspection, one will find that these smiles are very stiff and unnatural.
It's like artificially altering the faces of corpses!
"Mr. Jiang, let me help you!"
Liu Yuanyuan's charming voice carried a strong sense of determination.
The ghostly realm of Jiangqiao had not yet enveloped the vengeful spirit, so the little child that Liu Yuanyuan had split off from quickly ran to its front.
"This ability..."
Jiang Qiao frowned slightly, immediately recalling the scene on the ghost train.
Liu Yuanyuan used this method to lure the ghost away!
"This ability seems to attract vengeful ghosts."
He looked at the illusory figures of the children and noticed that their features were very similar to Liu Yuanyuan's.
Especially the little mole near the ear, it's almost exactly the same!
"Is this what she looked like when she was a child?"
Even with these thoughts in mind, Jiang Qiao didn't stop moving. He followed the illusory figures of the children and rushed towards the vengeful ghost.
Regardless of whether Liu Yuanyuan makes a move or not, he must launch an attack!
From the now completely dark bowl, a creaking sound began to come, as if an iron chain was being dragged across the ground.
There really seemed to be something in the bowl, constantly getting closer!
soon.
The group of children appeared beside the vengeful ghost.
The vengeful spirits seemed to be attracted by them and actually stopped in their tracks.
He felt that the chilling aura that had been constantly eroding the ghost realm had dissipated considerably.
"That's awesome?"
Jiang Qiao turned around and glanced at Liu Yuanyuan with some surprise.
However, he found that Liu Yuanyuan's face was frighteningly pale, almost without any color in her skin.
Those alluring eyes, their pupils actually began to dilate!
"These children also came at a price."
Jiang Qiao immediately understood.
Perhaps she doesn't usually experience such severe side effects.
However, the vengeful ghost she was facing was too terrifying, and the burden required to attract it was beyond her capacity!
However, despite looking very unwell, Liu Yuanyuan still managed to pull out a large cleaver with her other hand.
Without saying a word, they charged straight at the vengeful ghost!
⑧Book. сΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Holy crap!
"Is this woman so fierce?"
Jiang Qiao's eyelids twitched violently as he read this.
He had always suspected that Liu Yuanyuan's talent was more of the uncanny kind.
She seems to have a rather calm and composed personality, not the type to like confrontations.
I never expected them to fight so wildly!
"I am no match for it; I can only stall it for the time being."
"Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"
If not, then run.
As Liu Yuanyuan passed by the river bridge, her charming voice suddenly turned cold.
"Where did you provoke this vengeful ghost?"
Jiang Qiao followed behind her and asked.
"Seventh floor."
Liu Yuanyuan only said two words before shutting her mouth.
Because she had already arrived beside the vengeful ghost.
Without any hesitation, she raised her large cleaver and slashed fiercely at the ghost's head!
This strike was powerful and heavy, reminiscent of a broadsword slashing down on a Japanese soldier's head. It contrasted sharply with her slender figure!
"Pfft!"
The blade pierced the flesh, cutting into the ghost's head without any resistance. Jiang Qiao even saw the red and white substances gushing out.
However, neither Liu Yuanyuan nor Jiang Qiao felt any joy.
Because the vengeful ghost only stumbled before regaining its balance.
Then, it actually reached out and grabbed the blade that was cutting down on its head, and began to pull it out little by little!
Even with Liu Yuanyuan pressing down frantically with both hands, she couldn't stop her!
"No wonder she was being chased all the way."
Jiang Qiao shook his head slightly.
"but..."
He glanced at Liu Yuanyuan's mud-covered feet; this woman clearly had more tricks up her sleeve.
However, this is enough for now!
First, a group of ghost children attracted the attention of the evil spirit, and then a sharp slash left the evil spirit with no time to spare.
Even though Jiang Qiao was already standing behind it, it was still fighting against that knife!
It's clear that while the blow didn't kill it, it wasn't as easy as it appeared. It must have been subject to some kind of constraint or suppression!
Right now.
The strength Liu Yuanyuan displayed was already the strongest awakened one Jiang Qiao had ever encountered.
If Jiangqiao's strength impressed Liu Yuanyuan...
Liu Yuanyuan's abilities also greatly impressed Jiang Qiao.
They were able to hold off a sixth-tier vengeful ghost for a short time!
Amazing.
...
"If I still can't kill you this time, then I'll have no choice but to run away."
Jiang Qiao looked at the grotesque, skeletal back of the ghost's head and said coldly.
"Liu Yuanyuan, draw your knife!"
After saying that, he raised the broken bowl and pointed it at the head of the vengeful ghost. A terrifying black haze began to overflow from the bottom of the bowl.
"Good!"
Liu Yuanyuan answered.
The posture of pressing down on the sword with both hands suddenly changed to turning around and dragging the sword, and it was drawn out in an instant!
Caught off guard, the vengeful ghost immediately tore a large gash in both of their hands.
Thick, as-asphalt-like blood gushed out!
The vengeful ghost, now freed, seemed extremely angry. Its attention was no longer on the little ghost, but instead it suddenly turned to look at Liu Yuanyuan!
Something began to wriggle in those desolate eyes.
Then, a foul-smelling liquid gushed out!
Under Jiang Qiao's gray vision, he saw that the liquid was full of dense red threads.
curse!
Moreover, it is an extremely terrifying curse that almost certainly kills anyone who gets infected!
Despite the scars covering her face, Liu Yuanyuan remained calm, her eyes bright and fierce.
The children who had been surrounding the vengeful ghost suddenly ran towards her and quickly blocked her way!
Not only that.
The mud beneath her feet began to crumble away piece by piece.
It revealed specks of blue.
However, just as the two were about to collide.
Suddenly, a large bowl was slammed down on the ghost's head, like a melon-shaped hat being put on it!
It looks somewhat comical.
But the effect was terrifying!
In an instant.
A surge of black haze poured down from the bowl, like a black sack, enveloping the vengeful ghost!
Even the curses that had just left the eyes of the vengeful spirit and had not yet completely flown away were unable to escape and were swallowed up.
8ЬOок.com
The large bowl began to tremble continuously.
Even with his "Unrivaled Body" activated, Jiang Qiao still felt his palms go numb.
He gripped the bowl tightly and slammed it down!
moment.
The vengeful ghost was completely swallowed up by the bowl!
It was also at the same time.
The sound of the chain dragging seemed to become clearer.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Qiao immediately turned the bowl upside down on the ground, trying to put it back to normal.
This bowl is very easy to use.
When you tap it with your finger, it means you are preparing to "beg," and you will immediately connect to a mysterious place.
If you turn it upside down and place it on the ground, it means that you don't need to "beg" for the time being, so it will turn back into an ordinary ceramic bowl.
but.
Unlike the previous times when it recovered directly, this time, something unusual finally happened.
Buzzing.
Buzzing.
The bowl, which had been placed upside down on the ground, kept vibrating and seemed to be trying to lift itself off the ground uncontrollably!
"The sound of the chains just became much clearer, it seems that thing has reached the vicinity of the exit."
"This bowl can't be used for the time being."
Jiang Qiao pondered in his heart, but his face remained expressionless as he pressed the bowl firmly to prevent it from moving.
About two minutes later.
The earthenware bowl slowly returned to calm.
Jiang Qiao pressed the button for another three minutes before finally turning the bowl over.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the extra coin at the bottom of the bowl.
"They must have killed him."
A joyful smile spread across his face as he reached out and took out the gleaming silver coin.
"Sixth rank is really different."
"A fifth-tier vengeful ghost was just a copper coin of excellent quality, but I never expected a sixth-tier vengeful ghost to turn into a silver coin!"
"I wonder if the seventh tier will turn into gold coins?"
Jiang Qiao was overjoyed.
In fact, he had never found the true purpose of the coin; he only used it as the price to exchange for his "wish" talent.
But it's obvious.
Each coin corresponds to a different level of vengeful spirit, so it must serve some purpose.
It's just that Jiangqiao hasn't discovered it yet.
But it doesn't matter, he'll figure out its use sooner or later!
And now...
You can never have too much money, the more the better!
...
I tidied up a bit.
Jiang Qiao doesn't plan to explore the building any further for the time being.
So he chose to go back to the second floor and rest for a while.
Liu Yuanyuan, who was seriously injured, followed behind him and arrived at the room where Li Xin and the others were hiding.
"Mr. Jiang's abilities are truly astounding."
Looking at the unharmed Jiangqiao Bridge, Liu Yuanyuan sighed.
She witnessed firsthand how this man was cursed, then rapidly aged and died.
The bodies were all lying on the ground!
However, he actually got up again the next second!
Just thinking about this scene sent chills down her spine.
In the supernatural world, there are many awakened beings with defensive talents, and the ability to transfer damage is not uncommon.
Although the curse is troublesome, it is not insurmountable.
There are even rumors that some top experts can withstand the curse!
But someone like Jiang Qiao, who was clearly dead, was resurrected.
Before today, she had never heard of it!
Reversing life and death is a taboo.
In the supernatural world, as far as she knows, all those who have been resurrected are because they did not die completely!
But she was certain that Jiang Qiao was dead beyond any doubt!

But she was certain that Jiang Qiao was dead beyond any doubt!
What kind of tactic is this?
And there's one more thing.
In the supernatural world, even if those who are not completely dead are able to be resurrected, they will suffer great danger and pay a heavy price.
Often, after surviving, their strength is greatly diminished, and whether they can recover depends on luck.
But.
After Jiang Qiao was resurrected, he acted as if nothing had happened.
We can fight right away!
Is this... still human?
"Miss Liu, I've saved your life. How about we talk?"
"I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Inside the room.
Liu Yuanyuan sat in the chair and calmly took out several large, fat worms from her bag.
Jiang Qiao frowned as he watched the insect wriggle.
But Liu Yuanyuan didn't find them disgusting at all; instead, she crushed them in one go!
Her hands were covered in the bursting juice.
She calmly applied the liquid to the deep, bone-revealing wounds on her face.
Then, she took out several strips of white gauze and carefully wrapped her face.
The sight of flesh flying everywhere made even a newcomer like Uncle Luo Wen turn pale and feel a chill run down his spine.
This woman seemed to have no idea how to write the word "pain"!
"Ms. Liu, I'd like to have a proper talk with you."
"Since entering the supernatural world, I have come into contact with many awakened and evolved beings, but strictly speaking, they are all just passively trying to survive."
"You are the strongest Awakened One I have ever seen, and the only one who has actively ventured into dangerous areas to explore."
"You must have a lot of insights into this world."
Jiang Qiao looked at Liu Yuanyuan and said with a serious expression.
Liu Yuanyuan has already treated her wound.
She looked up, a hint of a smile in her eyes:
"Mr. Jiang's strength is unparalleled in my life. Whether it is the art of thunder and fire or the art of talismans, it is at the top level of the supernatural world."
"But what shocked me the most was that you actually possessed the forbidden power to reverse life and death."
"To be honest, you have really impressed me. Especially considering that you have such strength, yet you are still a newcomer."
Liu Yuanyuan spoke slowly.
"If you're looking for questions about the origins of the supernatural world or the truth behind the overlap of two worlds, you're likely to be disappointed."
"Because I'm also looking for the answer."
"In fact, people all over the world are searching for it, but so far, there is no clue."
A hint of self-mockery appeared in Liu Yuanyuan's eyes.
It seems she felt that with her abilities, answering such a question was simply overestimating her own capabilities!
Then, she changed the subject and said:
"However, if you just want to ask some questions about Nightmare City and this ghost village, I can tell you about it."
"I can't guarantee that everything I say is correct; I can only tell you my personal experience and understanding."
Jiang Qiao nodded after hearing this and said:
"It's okay, just tell me what you know. I'll judge for myself whether it's true or false."
All he's ever needed is a direction.
Even if this direction is ultimately proven to be wrong, it's still much better than having nothing at all like this!
Because the process of falsification is the process of progress.
"Then what do you want to know?"
Liu Yuanyuan took out a pack of cigarettes, flicked it lightly at the bottom of the pack, and a cigarette bounced up and landed in her mouth.
With a "thud".
ignition!
Upon hearing Liu Yuanyuan's words, Jiang Qiao suddenly felt at a loss for what to do.
Because he had too many questions to ask.
But it's clear that this woman doesn't know everything.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
Do you know anything about the first fifty villages?
If there is anyone among humans who understands the supernatural world best, it must be these villages that have been rooted in this land for decades or even centuries.
He needs to obtain information about the village so that he can visit them after his strength has increased!
"The first fifty villages?"
Liu Yuanyuan exhaled a smoke ring, her brows furrowing slightly as if she were deep in thought.
"I don't know much about them. I only know that each village has its own name, not just a code name."
"For example, the twentieth village is called General's Tomb."
8boОК． com
Jiang Qiao's expression shifted: "The name of this village is quite unique. Why is it called that?"
Liu Yuanyuan continued:
"It is said that their first village chief was a general of the previous dynasty. He fought in many battles throughout his life and had a distinguished military record. After entering the supernatural world, he led the villagers to fight against evil spirits and eliminate thugs."
"It was under his leadership that the village became one of the most powerful human settlements, providing tremendous support for early humans to gain a foothold in the supernatural world."
"Unfortunately, the general later went to Changyang Mountain alone and eventually perished there, his body never to be found."
"The villagers built a cenotaph for him and renamed the village General's Tomb to commemorate his contributions."
"I see."
"Then what kind of place is Changyang Mountain?" Jiang Qiao asked.
Liu Yuanyuan replied:
"It is an extremely large mountain range, one of the forbidden zones discovered by humans in the supernatural world. Legend has it that there is a temple at its deepest part, containing the secrets of the gods."
"But so far, no one has been able to come back alive from the depths of Changyang Mountain."
"So the temple is just a legend. Maybe someone made it up, or maybe they heard it from the natives."
"Many ancient indigenous villages hold great secrets."
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered slightly.
He recalled the simulation of growing to the eighth rank.
While wandering in the supernatural world, I accidentally entered a mountain range and eventually discovered the ruins of a temple.
After the temple's braziers were lit, a giant eyeball appeared in the sky!
He only made eye contact with that eyeball once, and his brain exploded!
Even if one reaches the eighth level of strength, they will still die instantly.
That was the first time he witnessed the terror of God!
I wonder if the Changyang Mountain that Liu Yuanyuan mentioned is the same mountain range she encountered during her simulation.
"Since Changyang Mountain is so dangerous, why did the general go in?"
"Also, do you know the exact location of Changyang Mountain?"
Jiang Qiao inquired.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's ask first.
"The villagers at the General's Tomb have never revealed why the general entered Changyang Mountain. However, it is generally speculated that it was to break through his strength."
"It is said that the general was only one step away from the eighth rank at that time."
"As for the location of Changyang Mountain..."
Liu Yuanyuan paused slightly at this point, her tone somewhat troubled.
"The supernatural world is vast and boundless, making it difficult to describe and locate."
"Generally speaking... if you can find village number 200, then just walk northwest from the village entrance until you reach the end."
Jiang Qiao listened attentively and silently memorized the directions.
Changyang Mountain is hard to find, but Village No. 200 is a human settlement after all, so you can find it by slowly exploring.
but.
This so-called Village No. 20 is indeed terrifying.
The first village chief was suspected to have reached the peak of the seventh rank!
"Are all the village chiefs in the top fifty villages this powerful?"
Jiang Qiao said.
"almost."
Liu Yuanyuan replied.
"However, Mr. Jiang, there is one thing you may have misunderstood."
"Although we always refer to it as the first fifty villages, there are actually not fifty of them."
"As early human settlements, most of them have already become extinct."
"There are probably only a dozen or so left now."
"Several villages here have already changed their appearance."
"For example, number 49, Caomiao Village, the first humans there died out twenty years ago."
"A village without powerful figures from the old era is often not recognized as an ancient village."

"I see."
This also cleared up some of Jiang Qiao's doubts.
The supernatural world is full of dangers, so how did these early villages manage to survive?
Now I finally know.
Most of them have actually already been wiped out.
There is no room for luck in the supernatural.
However, the villages that still exist today are not to be underestimated.
There are probably quite a few fifth-order and sixth-order ones.
The first village chief of General's Tomb was at the peak of the seventh rank, and the current village chief may well have the strength of the seventh rank.
After all, this isn't a martial arts sect from a wuxia novel where the characters get weaker as the story progresses.
This is a supernatural world; once a human settlement weakens, it will inevitably perish.
Those that can survive for a long time, even if each generation is stronger than the last, can at least maintain their own strength.
"Do you know where these villages are located?"
Jiang Qiao continued to ask.
After returning to the real world and leveling up, he plans to explore the ancient village.
If you can't even find the place, what's the point of exploring?
"The villagers of the ancient village occasionally come out and can be encountered in some missions. However, the exact location of the ancient village has always been a mystery."
"You know, even villagers from ordinary villages are often unwilling to reveal the location of their village."
"Especially ancient villages with a long history."
"In addition, they are powerful and very united, and several villages are known for their vengeful nature."
"So not many people dare to use special methods to inquire."
"I had contact with a master from Village No. 49, which is also known as Caomiao Village."
"Judging from some clues, Caomiao Village should be located directly south of the wasteland."
"But the wilderness is vast, and even to the south, it spans an area of tens of thousands of kilometers, so finding it is not easy."
Liu Yuanyuan shook her head.
She didn't have much hope of finding an ancient village given the limited information available.
After hearing this, Jiang Qiao looked thoughtful.
He definitely wants to find the ancient village.
Since Village No. 49 is located in the south of the wasteland, at least we now have a rough coordinate.
For an ordinary awakened individual to venture there rashly would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
but.
He glanced at the red screen floating in front of him.
This belongs to the simulator!
Since the resurgence of supernatural phenomena, this cheat has been undergoing upgrades.
Now, more than ten days later, the progress has reached 97%.
I believe the upgrade will be completed soon, reaching version 2.0.
If the emulator functionality from the first version were still available, he could have used this cheat to find the ancient village!
After all, what is a real journey of several dozen days is just a few dozen messages to an emulator.
It's very likely that we'll be able to locate the ancient village within a day or two!
Then, we can use Village No. 49 to obtain the next step of information and find the villages that rank higher.
Regardless, Caomiao Village is ultimately a village that preserves its ancient heritage.
They must have kept a lot of intelligence information!
Jiang Qiao had all sorts of thoughts running through his mind, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.
"I saw you go upstairs earlier, but you didn't seem to be there to complete a mission."
Are you looking for something?
Jiang Qiao glanced around the cramped room and shifted the topic from the ancient village to the abandoned village they were in.
"If I said I just wanted to explore this place..."
Do you believe it?
Liu Yuanyuan smiled slightly, looking at Jiang Qiao with a hint of mockery.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Qiao nodded and said matter-of-factly:
I believe in you.
This made Liu Yuanyuan pause slightly in surprise.
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I wonder what you've gained from your several explorations?"
"For example, how do you build friendships with ordinary people?"
Liu Yuanyuan clearly has some connection with this village.
⒏вσО�k． com
Seeing Jiang Qiao's interested expression, Liu Yuanyuan knew exactly what Jiang Qiao was asking.
But instead of answering directly, she changed the subject and asked Jiang Qiao:
Do you know why this village was built here?
"Why?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"Because this village is actually connected to something much deeper..."
Liu Yuanyuan suddenly shut her mouth, turned to look at the door, and a strong sense of vigilance appeared on her face.
Something is coming.
At the same moment, Jiang Qiao also turned his head, his face became solemn.
Li Xin and the others, who were listening with great interest, followed Jiang Qiao's gaze and looked towards the entrance.
I was immediately taken back!
The narrow door had somehow opened a crack, and a wisp of paper ash drifted in through it.
It felt like someone outside was burning paper money.
"Oh no, there's a ghost!"
Li Xin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly went over to close the door.
However, the door seemed to be stuck and couldn't be pushed open at all!
Xue Lan and Luo Wen immediately went to help, holding the door shut in an attempt to close it.
Xue Lan even used supernatural powers, her whole body enveloped in a layer of golden light.
But the door remained completely still!
Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the previously quiet corridor.
tread!
Tap tap!
The sound was faint at first, but it quickly became clearer.
It sounds like it's gradually coming this way.
"Are they coming for us?"
Jiang Qiao walked to the door with a sullen face.
Through the crack, he saw that it had become completely dark outside.
This darkness is very abnormal.
Even with the gray field of vision, one could only vaguely make out a few basin-like objects placed in the distance, with flames seemingly flickering on them.
However, the firelight was rather strange; it was only a few meters away, yet Jiang Qiao couldn't see it with normal vision!
This place is really eerie.
Li Xin cursed under his breath.
"Do you know what kind of vengeful ghost has come?"
Jiang Qiao turned to look at Liu Yuanyuan, hoping to get an answer.
However, Liu Yuanyuan shook her head and said with a very serious expression:
"I've never seen this ghost before. But just now on the seventh floor, I smelled the exact same burning paper smell, which seemed to be coming from the stairs."
"At the time, my attention was focused on the ghost on the seventh floor, so I didn't pay any attention to it."
"Now that I think about it, the smell must have come from the eighth floor."
As soon as Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, Jiang Qiao's expression changed.
Damn it!
If the old ghost on the seventh floor was so difficult to deal with, is it possible that a fierce ghost from the eighth floor has emerged now?
"Don't you know those ordinary people?"
How did they handle this situation?
Jiang Qiao asked in a deep voice.
Combat isn't about charging in headfirst; it's about weighing the pros and cons first.
Faced with a vengeful ghost whose situation was unknown, Jiang Qiao did not intend to confront it rashly and wanted to hear if Liu Yuanyuan could offer any other suggestions.
"Actually, these vengeful ghosts don't necessarily attack people."
As Liu Yuanyuan recalled, she said:
"I once heard an old man say that evil spirits often wander down from the building."
"They didn't seem to have any particular purpose; they just appeared to be taking a walk."
"As long as you don't provoke them, you'll generally be fine unless you're extremely unlucky."
"Of course, that's assuming you stay in your room."
"and..."
She glanced at the flickering electricity in Jiang Qiao's hand and said seriously:
"I advise against using supernatural powers."
"The room can isolate the presence of human beings. As long as it does not reveal any supernatural power, it may mistake it for an empty room."

Don't use supernatural powers to resist?"
Jiang Qiao raised his head slightly to look at Liu Yuanyuan, intending to wait for an explanation.
Liu Yuanyuan lowered her voice and said:
"Ghosts can distinguish people not only by their eyes, sense of smell, or hearing. Many ghosts don't even have any sensory abilities at all."
"The most important way they perceive a person is through their qi and blood!"
Jiang Qiao nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Apart from evolved beings who have been completely corrupted by vengeful spirits, no one else, no matter how strong, can impersonate a vengeful spirit. This is because one's life force is like a beacon in the darkness; the stronger one is, the brighter it shines."
Seeing that Jiang Qiao agreed with her point of view, Liu Yuanyuan smiled slightly and continued:
"Yes. Because the strange is very special, it is a life form that has not been fully transformed into a vengeful ghost, so it carries blood and qi in it."
"As humans, only those with strong enough vital energy can suppress the vengeful ghosts within the strange creatures."
"Once the body's vital energy and blood decline, the treacherous creature will awaken and take over the body."
"Ultimately, the bizarre is a kind of balance between vital energy and ghostly energy."
"And specifically regarding our current situation..."
"Although a room can isolate a person's vital energy, it cannot isolate the influence of supernatural forces."
"But the supernatural power used by the awakened is often mixed with a trace of blood and qi."
"So it's easy for vengeful ghosts to find it."
"That's why I advise against using supernatural powers."
Liu Yuanyuan recounted her knowledge about the bizarre and mysterious, which made Xue Lan and the other two beside her widen their eyes.
This was the first time they had learned about the origins of the strange creature and the reason for its awakening.
Before this, although they had spent a few years in the paranormal world, they had to figure things out on their own most of the time because no one taught them about the paranormal.
And this kind of exploration often yields results in how to fight and confront.
After all, their first priority is to survive.
Hearing Liu Yuanyuan's words today gave me a sense of sudden enlightenment, and many previously vague understandings have become clear.
"Spending time with big shots is truly rewarding."
Li Xin sighed inwardly.
tread!
Tap tap!
Heavy footsteps drew closer in the corridor.
Jiang Qiao estimated that the bridge was at most twenty meters away from his room.
If a vengeful ghost discovers this distance, it could even directly incur a curse!
"It has stopped."
Suddenly, the footsteps in the corridor disappeared.
The surrounding environment fell into a deathly silence.
But Jiang Qiao knew very well that the danger in the corridor had not been eliminated; in fact, it had become more serious.
The darkness outside the door not only didn't disappear, but it even seeped into the room in wisps, looking like thick smoke, only without the smell of smoke.
Jiang Qiao did not use any supernatural powers; he even closed his double pupils.
He decided to trust Liu Yuanyuan this once.
If we succeed, then we won't need to fight the vengeful ghost.
If we fail, it's just a matter of dying once.
Although I only have forty-nine lives left, dying a few times won't matter.
He pressed his ear against the wall, listening to the sounds outside, and gestured for the others to crouch down against the wall.
Try not to appear within the line of sight of the door crack, lest you be seen by a vengeful ghost.
Time slowly passed.
Just as Li Xin and the others were wondering if the vengeful ghost had already left.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally loud in a quiet environment.
Xue Lan and the other two, who were completely focused, were caught off guard and almost cried out.
Jiang Qiao frowned, a slight worry in his heart.
In paranormal events, it's not uncommon for vengeful ghosts to knock on doors.
Not to mention the supernatural world, even in the real world, there are vengeful ghosts knocking on doors.
But the question is, what level are these vengeful ghosts at?
After knocking on the door, what will happen if it is opened or not?
That's the most important thing.
Jiang Qiao's question was quickly answered.
⑧ВОок． COM
"Boom!"
A loud bang.
Jiang Qiao heard the sound of a wooden door breaking and pieces of wood falling.
Immediately afterwards, heavy footsteps sounded again.
Thump!
Knock knock!
Judging from the sound, they must have gone into that room.
Immediately afterwards.
Jiang Qiao faintly heard screams coming from the room, as if someone was inside!
"What happened?"
He looked at Liu Yuanyuan with some surprise and found that she was also somewhat bewildered.
She didn't speak, but instead took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote something, then held it up for Jiang Qiao to see.
"There shouldn't be any living people on the second floor."
Upon seeing this line of text, Jiang Qiao fell silent.
Damn it!
He cursed under his breath, turned his head back, and pressed his ear against the wall again to listen to the sounds outside.
soon.
The footsteps left the room and returned to the corridor.
Just when Jiang Qiao thought it would continue walking this way, the knocking sounded again!
An unknown, malevolent spirit has arrived in another room.
"Could there be someone in that room as well?"
Jiang Qiao's face gradually darkened.
Liu Yuanyuan's words seem a bit unreliable.
Are those people possessing supernatural auras, or are the vengeful spirits themselves able to sense humans?
A dull knocking sound came from the hallway.
No one opened the door.
Then, with a loud "bang," the door was violently flung open once again!
Jiang Qiao took a few steps and moved closer to the door, wanting to observe the ghost's movements more closely.
However, he still did not use supernatural powers, but relied on his ordinary senses to distinguish.
Although "Overlord Body" was not activated.
However, as a defensive talent, it will ultimately provide some improvement to the body.
Jiang Qiao estimated that his hearing was now almost as good as a dog's!
Because the door was ajar, the sound became clearer through that crack.
Jiang Qiao heard the sounds of things being rummaged through, but ultimately no screams were heard.
It's unclear whether there was no one in the room or if they were killed before they could even scream.
If it's the former, then Liu Yuanyuan's words are indeed correct; the vengeful ghost cannot detect any humans, it only randomly checks rooms.
If it's the latter...
Jiang Qiao silently prepared for the worst.
This isn't just about preparing for battle; it's also about how to deal with Liu Yuanyuan if she's lying and trying to frame him.
He glanced at Liu Yuanyuan's expression; she remained calm and composed.
But Jiang Qiao had already devised a plan to kill her.
Without a doubt, Liu Yuanyuan is a difficult person to deal with.
The large cleaver, combined with the attention-grabbing ghostly figures of children, was truly terrifying.
Ordinary vengeful spirits or awakened beings could easily be torn to pieces without any resistance.
In a situation where the survivors are of the same level, Jiang Qiao felt that so far, apart from himself, there really wasn't any other survivor who could defeat the other!
He guessed that the child ghost's talent was probably at the S level, otherwise it would have been impossible for it to attract a sixth-level vengeful ghost for such a short time.
"But that's not her trump card."
Jiang Qiao's gaze shifted downwards and quickly settled on Liu Yuanyuan's mud-covered feet.
When we were fighting that vengeful ghost on the seventh floor, at a crucial moment, a little bit of this mud peeled off, revealing specks of blue.
However, because Jiang Qiao suppressed the evil spirit, it was not exposed.
But without a doubt.
Those feet must be terrifying!
"I am stronger than her, killing her is not difficult."
"But I don't know if she has any other means of survival or supernatural items."
"If we're going to take action, we must kill her with one blow, leaving her no chance to escape or use supernatural powers."
Jiang Qiao was silently calculating in his mind.
