Sha Gui defended himself, "My lord, I swear to the heavens that I absolutely did not curse you. If I did, may my soul be scattered tonight."
The man completely ignored Sha Gui and spoke to himself, "Actually, I used to quite enjoy walking alone in deserted places."
"This..." Sha Gui didn't know how to respond, cursing inwardly.
You damn well tell me if we're going to the outskirts.
I'm not your life coach, what good is telling me this?
What does it have to do with me?
The man put away his deeply emotional expression and said, "Lead the way, let's go for a walk in the outskirts."
Sha Gui quickly led the way, "I'll take you to the outskirts right away."
On the other side.
Zhao Ling and the others walked along the outskirts back and forth without seeing any ghostly figures.
What started as a fearful atmosphere gradually dissipated as time passed.
The exploration turned into bragging, mainly thanks to Jin Wei and Yang Mai's trio's grand pronouncements.
Zhao Ling and Shi Yuqian followed behind.
Zhao Ling was somewhat bored and yawned, "I knew I shouldn't have come with you, it's not interesting at all."
Shi Yuqian beside her, with interest, shone her flashlight into the nearby woods, "Since we're here, why don't you help me look for ghosts?"
Zhao Ling was speechless and said, "Do you see those perverted ghosts ahead?"
Shi Yuqian beside her gave her an annoyed look, "Do you think you're very funny?"
What they couldn't see was.
In the nearby woods, countless eyes were staring at them.
A small ghost saw its companion and asked confusedly, "Big brother, what are they talking about? They've already walked a round trip."
The small ghost beside him was also confused, "Perhaps they have too much food and nothing to do."
These small ghosts had been following Zhao Ling and the others.
Their every move was clearly seen by these small ghosts.
Even when the two girls went to the side to relieve themselves, it was seen clearly.
Jin Wei could naturally see the small ghosts nearby, but he pretended not to.
He knew his own capabilities.
He heard that the martial world was very chaotic now. While dealing with these small ghosts was not a problem, a fierce ghost might suddenly appear.
That would truly be the end.
A gust of wind blew, and everyone shivered involuntarily.
Shi Yuqian's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she crossed her arms, rubbing them. "Why is it suddenly so cold?"
Zhao Ling also looked forward with confusion, "The wind just now wasn't this cold."
Jin Wei in front had an extremely grim expression, staring intently ahead.
Others might not know, but he did. This was Yin Qi!
There must be a terrifying evil ghost ahead.
Seeing Jin Wei suddenly fall silent, Yang Mai asked curiously, "Brother Jin, why aren't you talking? Are you having stomach trouble?"
Jin Wei swallowed, trying to force a smile but failing, and said fearfully, "I have stomach trouble, you guys keep going ahead, I'll go relieve myself and catch up."
After speaking, Jin Wei turned to flee, but it was already too late.
A voice came from ahead, "It's too late to escape now."
This voice seemed to transmit through space, directly hitting everyone's minds.
Everyone turned to look, and saw a man in a black trench coat walking slowly towards them.
Immediately, a chill swept over them, making everyone shiver.
Only Jin Wei could see a ghost accompanying the man.
It was Sha Gui, even more terrifying than a fierce ghost!
Hearing the man's words, Yang Mai looked at Jin Wei in bewilderment, "Brother Jin, do you know this person?"
Judging by the man's words, it seemed he knew this man with an evil smile.
Zhao Ling behind them only glanced at the man's eyes and felt a sense of dread. She pulled Shi Yuqian and quietly began to retreat.
Zhao Ling was certain she hadn't misread.
The man's gaze was that of a predator.
She had studied the gazes of countless murderers.
And this man's gaze was strikingly similar to that of a murderer.
Jin Wei in front was so scared his heart pounded, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he stared at the man ahead without a word.
Anyone could tell how terrified Jin Wei was at this moment.
Yang Mai also dared not speak rashly, as even Jin Wei was so frightened.
This person must be a powerful gangster or a local overlord.
Gao Liang saw Jin Wei suddenly deflate and was overjoyed.
It was his chance to show off in front of the girls.
He hadn't had a chance to brag all the way here, and on top of that, he was ugly, so no one paid him any attention.
Now that such a good opportunity had arisen, it would be a shame not to seize it.
If he didn't show off now, when would he?
He was determined to show off, and even Jesus couldn't stop him.
That's what Gao Liang said!
Gao Liang took a step forward, positioning himself in front of everyone, a confident smile on his face.
No matter if it was a gangster or a local boss, it was just him alone.
No matter how formidable he was, he could pick up a nearby stick and subdue him completely.
"Buddy..." Gao Liang's sausage-like lips had just opened.
*Swish!*
The man instantly appeared in front of Gao Liang and swung his blade.
*Slash~*
Blood splattered, followed by a round object rolling onto the ground.
Blood splashed onto the faces of the students behind.
Everything happened so suddenly that it seemed unreal.
By the time everyone reacted, screams erupted.
"Ah... ah... ah..."
"Ah... ah... ah..."
Yang Mai touched the warm blood on his face, his heart filled with the terror of death, and he shouted in fright.
"Murder! Murder!! Murder!!"
The man wiped the blood splattered on his face, as if he couldn't hear Yang Mai's screams, and cursed.
"Damn it, is this thing really human? Why is it so ugly?"
Shi Yuqian behind him, having never seen such a scene, was so scared she nearly fainted, mumbling incoherently, "Gao... Gao Liang he..."
Zhao Ling beside her was also trembling all over, her face ashen and lifeless, frighteningly pale.
However, she maintained her composure, grabbed Shi Yuqian's hand, and turned to flee.
But her legs had gone weak with fear, rendering her unable to escape.
Pain!
Zhao Ling suddenly thought, pain could alleviate fear.
Looking at her now powerless legs, Zhao Ling hardened her heart, picked up a branch from the ground, gritted her teeth, and fiercely stabbed her thigh.
*Puchi~*
Blood immediately spurted out. Feeling her legs regain strength, Zhao Ling pulled Shi Yuqian and ran.
The others in front, who also wanted to escape, were paralyzed with fear on the ground and unable to flee.
Jin Wei looked at the man ahead with a deathly pale face, as if he were looking at the Grim Reaper.
Although he was somewhat involved in this line of work, he had never witnessed such a scene.
He too stood frozen in place, terrified.
