Chapter 157: ‘coughing’ Sounds
Fierce ghosts can never be completely killed.
The mirror also seemed to have no end.
Ye Zhen ran straight ahead, shattering any mirrors he encountered with a punch, and eliminating any fierce ghosts blocking his path with a punch.
He was invincible and fearless.
And at this moment.
On the gloomy street.
Fang Shiming and Lin Qian suddenly stopped.
“Lingering spirits.”
Fang Shiming stared ahead, while Lin Qian looked behind.
In the dark street.
Some strange things emerged.
In front, five or six people dressed in death robes walked out of the darkness and quickly approached them.
Behind, to the sides, and all around, paper figures with strange expressions and withered dried corpses approached them.
And, some inflated human skins.
Dripping with blood, their faces were hollow, and looking into them revealed only darkness.
“It seems we can’t leave until we resolve this.”
Fang Shiming said.
Lin Qian nodded, “Understood.”
“You go ahead, I’ll cover the rear.”
Fang Shiming nodded and walked straight ahead.
Lin Qian’s figure instantly disappeared, and along with him, the inflated human skins, paper figures, and dried corpses from behind also vanished.
Inside the Ghost Domain.
Heavy snow suddenly descended.
The eerie and terrifying fierce ghosts rapidly rushed towards Lin Qian.
Snowflakes fell.
The paper figures were first dampened and then quickly froze solid.
The inflated human skin figures suddenly began to exhale.
Lin Qian’s skin visibly began to swell at this moment.
It was as if something was inflating his skin.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly; the pain from his body made him frown, but the next moment, he flickered, and his body instantly recovered.
Crack crack crack~!
Snowflakes fell, and the human skin figures rapidly deflated.
The dried corpses were frozen, turning into ice sculptures.
Lin Qian’s mind moved, and an opera stage appeared behind him. The opera stage flickered, and all the fierce ghosts in the Ghost Domain disappeared.
He exited the Ghost Domain.
Meanwhile, Fang Shiming had already dealt with the fierce ghosts dressed in death robes.
The fierce ghosts had gone to who knows where, leaving only some blood-stained death robes on the ground.
Lin Qian activated his Ghost Domain and collected these few death robes.
“This place is really strange. After walking for so long, only the shops we first encountered were open, while the shops further down were closed and had no room number plates.”
Fang Shiming said.
Lin Qian: “Maybe they moved.”
“However, what I need is definitely here. If it’s not on this street, then it must be in the hands of the source.”
Hearing this, Fang Shiming stroked his chin, “I really don’t want to confront a dead old antique.”
“And judging by the situation, the other party has clearly lost control.”
Fang Shiming probably knew some things about the Republic of China era.
So he also understood the situation of supernatural lands.
“Let’s keep looking. We might not necessarily have to meet the source.”
Meeting the source was something neither of them wanted.
After all, it was very dangerous.
The two continued to move forward.
And at the same time.
After Lin Qian and Fang Shiming so efficiently dealt with the pursuing fierce ghosts, the previously open shop experienced a sudden change.
A profound darkness spread out from the coffin shop.
Crack crack crack~!
Inside the shop, a large black coffin slowly opened.
Following that, an old man dressed in death robes, covered in corpse spots, slowly stood up from the coffin.
The figure exited the coffin and, with a numb and lifeless body, slowly walked out of the coffin shop.
At the same time, inside the fur shop.
On the backyard wall, a piece of human skin, full of wrinkles, suddenly fell off.
Before it hit the ground, the human skin quickly began to inflate.
By the time it landed, an old woman dressed in death robes, reeking of decay, appeared in the backyard.
The figure walked out of the courtyard and then out of the fur shop.
And inside the death robe shop.
Death robes suddenly fell, then began to writhe strangely, and then stacked themselves up.
Gradually, all the death robes merged into one, forming a single death robe.
The moment the death robes fused, black smoke strangely emerged from within the death robe.
The smoke propped up the death robe, forming hands, feet, and a head.
Then it slowly stood up.
A bizarre figure walked out of the death robe shop.
The paper craft shop, however, remained quiet, with nothing happening.
Lin Qian and Fang Shiming were unaware that three terrifying fierce ghosts were following them.
And at this moment, the gate of the Li Family suddenly opened.
A woman wearing goggles and a man named Yang Kai, with blank and dazed expressions, held a white candle and walked in front.
Behind them followed a woman dressed in a red wedding dress.
The white candlelight flickered slightly, but the three figures cast no shadows in its light.
The three figures stiffly walked towards the street.
“They’ve been exposed.”
Outside the village.
A young man looked at the stars in the sky, his gaze flickering slightly.
“I should be able to escape from this level of supernatural event.”
He looked at the village, which had been completely exposed and was no longer an illusion.
But the moment the village appeared, a terrifying Ghost Domain spread outwards to cover it.
Now, almost half of Da Zhou City was covered within it.
“No matter what, with those three powerful individuals here, this supernatural event is bound to be dealt with!”
The young man stretched his neck and his figure, like a bubble, slowly disappeared.
Bang bang bang~!
Countless mirrors suddenly shattered at this moment.
Mirror shards flew everywhere, revealing the figure of a young man.
Ye Zhen squinted, staring at an old mirror covered with a black cloth in front of him.
Around this mirror, more mirrors were continuously appearing, only to vanish in the blink of an eye.
It was this thing that was constantly creating mirrors.
“Is this the source?”
Ye Zhen looked around; mirrors were constantly appearing.
The moment a mirror appeared, eerie footsteps immediately began to sound.
Then figures would appear inside the mirror, walking outwards.
“This ghost’s ability is quite good.”
Ye Zhen thought the ability was overpowered.
It was almost infinite.
Ye Zhen licked his lips and strode towards the mirror covered by the black cloth.
Covered by black cloth, it was likely that this mirror was very dangerous.
But unfortunately, he, Ye Zhen, was never afraid of danger.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the mirror and threw aside the black cloth.
Under the black cloth was an old mirror.
It was the kind of dressing mirror from the Republic of China era.
The mirror was very clean, clearly reflecting Ye Zhen’s face.
The mirror looked ordinary.
Ye Zhen punched the mirror surface directly.
Bang~!
With a dull thud, the mirror remained unharmed, but all the surrounding mirrors bizarrely shattered at that moment.
The fierce ghosts that had emerged also vanished instantly.
Ye Zhen frowned slightly, looked at his fist, and saw an indentation; his bone was already broken.
“Such a hard mirror.”
The supernatural power on this mirror was not low either.
Ye Zhen became even more interested.
Ye Zhen raised his fist, unwilling to believe he couldn’t smash a mirror.
But just as his fist was about to fall.
A coughing sound suddenly came from inside the mirror.
“Cough cough~!”
Ye Zhen’s expression stiffened, and he instantly retreated, staring intently at the mirror.
He saw that inside the mirror, next to his own reflection, an elderly woman had appeared at some point.
The figure slowly walked up to Ye Zhen inside the mirror.
Without any visible action from her, the Ye Zhen in the mirror became hideous, and then his entire body began to melt.
Skin, flesh, bones, then internal organs, finally turning into a pool of blood and disappearing into the mirror.
Ye Zhen was startled by this sight and simultaneously felt a chill run down his spine.
A terrifying power descended upon him.
His skin visibly began to melt.
Just like his reflection in the mirror.
“A curse?”
Ye Zhen quickly began to resist.
The ability of the substitute ghost activated.
But Ye Zhen soon discovered that there were no ghosts around.
Ye Zhen thought for a moment and quickly found a solution.
He directly transferred all the supernatural attacks onto the mirror.
Ye Zhen’s body recovered in an instant.
“Interesting, attacking me inside the mirror is equivalent to attacking me outside?”
Ye Zhen became vigilant and moved directly behind the mirror.
As long as he wasn’t reflected in the mirror, wouldn’t he not be attacked?
Ye Zhen felt proud of his cleverness.
But suddenly, Ye Zhen’s expression turned grim.
He saw that the mirror in front of him had strangely disappeared.
Before Ye Zhen could even react, he instantly vanished.
“Damn it, something’s happened.”
Ye Zhen thought to himself that things were not good.
The disappearance of the mirror meant that his actions had actually released a ghost.
Ye Zhen was unsure what his actions would lead to.
But it would certainly not be a good thing.
At this moment.
The moment that mirror disappeared.
The entire village underwent a subtle, strange change at this moment.
The entire village underwent a strange change at this moment.
The mirrors all disappeared.
But they didn’t completely disappear either.
On Ghost Street.
Lin Qian and Fang Shiming stopped at the same time, they quickly looked around.
The surrounding environment had become extremely eerie.
The world seemed to have an afterimage, but this sign disappeared in just a moment.
What happened?
Fang Shiming and Lin Qian frowned slightly.
“An unknown change has occurred, I feel a chilling danger.”
Fang Shiming raised his hand, looking at the goosebumps on his skin.
His expression became serious.
Instinct, the instinct of self-preservation as a human, told him that danger had arrived.
Lin Qian also had this instinct, but his instinct was to quickly activate the restart and leave this place.
He would die, he would really die!
‘Cough cough~!’
Suddenly, a weak cough sounded.
Fang Shiming and Lin Qian instantly felt their skin crawl.
They quickly looked behind them.
The cough just now sounded as if it came from right behind their backs.
But when they turned around, there was nothing behind them.
“It’s gotten more dangerous here.”
Lin Qian quickly determined that a ghost had started killing people.
“Keep going, hurry and confirm.”
Fang Shiming made a decisive move, continuing forward stubbornly.
Lin Qian naturally had no objections.
The two of them infused their bodies with supernatural energy, unleashing speed far beyond that of ordinary people, and ran forward rapidly.
The cough sounded again.
And at this moment.
Behind Fang Shiming and Lin Qian.
An old man wearing a death robe, with a wrinkled body, suddenly stopped in place.
Immediately after, his body began to melt, and his entire person visibly began to shrivel.
Just like a deflated balloon.
He shriveled down.
In just a moment, only a shriveled, wrinkled human skin remained on the ground.
“It seems we weren’t attacked.”
The two ran wildly, the cough just now was very strange.
It could almost certainly be a ghost’s killing pattern.
But they were not attacked now.
“Could it be that there are still living people inside this village?”
Fang Shiming asked.
“Could it be Ye Zhen?”
There were definitely no living people inside the village.
There was no accident about that.
Besides the three of them, there was no one else.
Of course, if you were to mention the two guys in the courtyard pretending to be dead.
That’s unlikely, after all, there’s still a ghost inside the coffin.
With the strength of those two, they wouldn’t survive.
“It’s possible, Ye Zhen is sometimes very unlucky.”
“Never mind Ye Zhen for now, first find the thing you need.”
They weren’t attacked, which could be considered a good thing.
Isn’t it good that they weren’t attacked?
The two immediately increased their speed.
After running wildly for about ten minutes, they stopped abruptly.
They stared at the dark red wall in front of them, their faces looking a bit grim, “We’ve reached the end.”
All the way here, except for the first few shops that were open, the shops behind were all closed.
Now, they had reached the end.
“The worst outcome.”
Fang Shiming turned around and looked behind him.
Lin Qian was a bit silent, but soon he made up his mind, “Let’s go and touch the source.”
Fang Shiming didn’t say anything, they had come this far, and there was nothing they could do but face it.
Since they were here, they had to take something back.
Even thieves don’t leave empty-handed.
What about them?
The two intended to go back along the road they came.
But at this very moment.
The wall behind them suddenly disappeared.
Immediately after, an unexpected person appeared.
The two looked back, both surprised.
“Why are you here?”
“I’d like to ask you, why are you here?”
Fang Shiming looked at Ye Zhen.
Lin Qian stared at Ye Zhen, a bad premonition forming in his heart.
Ye Zhen’s appearance here meant either he had invaded from outside, or the space he was in had already descended.
“What’s going on?” Lin Qian asked.
Ye Zhen looked at the two, “I released a ghost, and then I walked towards the light that appeared ahead, and I came here.”
“Released a ghost?”
The two were shocked, judging by Ye Zhen’s words, he hadn’t dealt with it?
Seeing their faces change slightly, Ye Zhen quickly explained the situation inside.
After hearing what Ye Zhen said, their moods became solemn.
The three of them were silent for a moment.
“If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the source.”
Lin Qian said.
“What do we do now?”
Although Ye Zhen was defiant, he also knew that ghost wasn’t easy to deal with.
It was very strange and terrifying.
“You released it, and you’re still asking what to do?”
“Of course, we’ll deal with it.”
Fang Shiming rubbed his temples.
This idiot Ye Zhen, releasing such a terrifying ghost.
If it wasn’t dealt with, Da Zhou City would definitely be finished.
“Fang Shiming and I were thinking of going to confront the source, which might be the ghost you released.”
“The thing I need might be on that source.”
Lin Qian said.
Ye Zhen licked his lips upon hearing this, “I’ll listen to you.”
