Chapter 85: Toilet With Gold Rim, Well Lined With Gold
As early as half an hour ago,
“Dead? She’s dead?! Big Sister Liu Yingying just died like this?”
Seeing Liu Yingying beheaded, Zhang Dongxing felt an indescribable sadness. He didn’t expect Liu Yingying, who had been chatting and laughing with him before, to die so easily here.
“Hey, there seems to be a path in that woods. Why is there a dark shadow there? Let me see what’s going on.”
But in the blink of an eye, the sadness in Zhang Dongxing’s heart had already “disappeared.” He turned his body because he didn’t want to look at Liu Yingying’s corpse, which allowed him to discover the path in the woods.
Glancing at Jiang Shan,
Zhang Dongxing tiptoed toward that path.
As early as before, Jiang Shan had noticed something unusual from Zhang Dongxing’s various actions.
Clearly a grown man with a family, how could he repeatedly do so many absurd things.
If Liu Yingying kept stepping into pitfalls time and again because of her kind heart,
then Zhang Dongxing was a man without a heart. He didn’t consider the situation, didn’t consider the impact, and acted willfully, going to play and stroll around.
He was becoming more and more like a child in an adult’s body.
But this was completely different from the vigilance and observation he showed when he first got on the ghost bus.
Although the luck ghost’s ability was exaggerated, as long as it was a ghost, it would resurrect. Using the ability required paying a price.
It seemed that stealing Zhang Dongxing’s wisdom and emotion was the price of using the luck ghost.
It wanted to become human,
a human with the wisdom and emotion of a living person!
And Ren Ying, standing next to Zhang Dongxing, looked extremely grim after seeing Liu Yingying’s death.
She also thought of the killing pattern that meant certain death if they left. This meant that if they wanted to survive, they had to stay in this supernatural land forever!
Just as Ren Ying was feeling restless, her peripheral vision suddenly caught Zhang Dongxing heading toward a grove.
“There’s a ghost riding on his body!?”
Ren Ying discovered that on Zhang Dongxing’s back, there was a ghost that was pitch black all over, without facial features, in the shape of an infant, riding on his neck.
She was just about to shout, but she noticed that although the ghost’s feet had locked around Zhang Dongxing’s neck, its charred black hands were on its own neck, as if grabbing something.
Just like that, the riding ghost remained motionless on his neck, maintaining a weird balance.
“If I control that ghost, can the ghost comb comb that ghost’s head? If this works, then my sister and I will kill that Jiang Shan first. Since we can’t escape, he must die. I want to stab him to death slowly, one knife at a time!”
Madness gleamed in Ren Ying’s eyes. She knew her sister Ren Xue’s strength would have no major issues. So she hurriedly followed the footprints to the path to find Zhang Dongxing.
At this time,
At the end of the path in the woods, Ren Ying finally saw Zhang Dongxing.
She saw him standing by an apparently long-abandoned well, bending over to look into it, not knowing what was in that well that attracted his attention so much.
“Why are you here? Where’s Brother Jiang?” Zhang Dongxing happened to look up and saw Ren Ying with a face full of gloom, asking doubtfully.
“Jiang Shan told me to come first. Don’t move, there’s a ghost behind you.” Ren Ying said.
Zhang Dongxing scratched his head foolishly and smiled, saying:
“There’s no ghost behind me. Brother Jiang scared me, and now you’re scaring me too. I’ve turned around and looked several times, there’s no ghost following me.”
Just as he was speaking,
Ren Ying had already placed the ghost comb on her head. Under Zhang Dongxing’s puzzled and confused gaze, she painfully combed downward.
Ghost comb combing hair,
what was combed off was not just hair,
but also the life of the person combing, every comb making Ren Ying feel the vitality draining from her body.
Ren Ying was only seventeen years old, but her body now was like that of an old man half-buried in yellow soil. Just chasing Zhang Dongxing had left her drenched in sweat, panting heavily.
“Ah, what are you doing? Ouch, my, my head hurts so much. Did I catch a cold?”
As soon as Zhang Dongxing opened his mouth, a sharp pain came from his head. He collapsed to the ground in pain, clutching his head and rolling back and forth.
The phrase “painfully rolling on the ground” was now visualized.
Ren Ying quietly watched Zhang Dongxing writhing and wailing on the ground. There was no pity in her eyes, nor any human emotion. Her cold gaze was like looking at a dead man.
Since she had decided to kill Jiang Shan,
then Zhang Dongxing, who was by Jiang Shan’s side, had no reason to live either.
So while Ren Ying launched an attack on the riding ghost, she also incidentally attacked Zhang Dongxing.
She knew there was also a ghost in Zhang Dongxing’s body; otherwise, he couldn’t have survived the wooden fish ghost’s attack.
But Ren Ying didn’t know how weird the ghost in Zhang Dongxing’s body was,
weird enough to even affect the ghost bus!
“That ghost is down!”
Ren Ying raised her eyebrows. She greedily looked at the suppressed riding ghost on the ground, seeing the infant-like riding ghost lying motionless by the well.
“Once Zhang Dongxing dies, I’ll throw him into that broken well, then control this ghost, and go meet up with my sister.”
Seeing that Zhang Dongxing hadn’t died yet, Ren Ying grew impatient. She combed her hair once more with the ghost comb.
The ghost comb’s terrifying curse stacked onto Zhang Dongxing.
“Aaaah, I’m in so much pain I’m going to die! Well! Well! If I knock myself out, it won’t hurt anymore!”
Zhang Dongxing, rolling on the ground in pain, crawled up. His eyes bloodshot, he looked at the well made of mud bricks. Perhaps due to the pain causing an illusion, he saw a flash of gold on the damaged mud bricks of the well.
Golden and shiny, like gold.
Normally, Zhang Dongxing would definitely go curiously to see what was going on, but now, the cracks on his scalp were getting deeper and deeper, the pain making him wish he could split his skull open.
How could he have the leisure to care about that?
“Thud!”
Zhang Dongxing slammed his head into the mud bricks of the well. With a loud bang, he lay on the ground covered in blood and lost consciousness.
And the mud bricks at the well mouth, which had been built for many years, had long weathered and shattered. Under this impact, they cracked layer by layer, revealing the golden surface inside.
That was gold,
a layer of gold built into the inner layer of the well mouth!
When she saw the golden well, a strong sense of unease surged in Ren Ying’s heart. She knew gold could isolate supernatural forces.
But why was a well built with gold?!
“This well is probably a ghost too. How many ghosts are there here? Never mind, that infant-like ghost seems to have been suppressed by the ghost comb’s curse. Once I get that ghost, I’ll leave here.”
Ren Ying put the ghost comb into her pocket and took out a pair of specially made gold gloves.
For a ghost wielder, carrying specially made gold leaf and gold gloves provided great convenience when facing ghosts.
After all, the gold box couldn’t be carried everywhere.
As soon as Ren Ying stepped out with her right foot, a gray light suddenly shot onto her face.
With no time to react, a weird withered finger pierced through Ren Ying’s eye socket and instantly stabbed into her brain.
