Chapter 141 Ghost God in the Shadows

Xia Mengying. Ye Yang had been waiting for me in the car, but he didn't expect someone to knock on the car window at this time.

The people in the car tensed up at the same time and subconsciously gripped their weapons.

There were four top experts in the car. The interior of the carriage also had a spirit talisman warning system. It was impossible for the four people inside the car not to be surprised when someone suddenly approached the window without them noticing.

When Ye Yang looked outside the car with his sword, he saw an old lady in cotton clothes with a kind face and gentle eyes.

Although the other party looked amiable, her face always made people feel uncomfortable.

Wang Butcher held the hilt of his knife in one hand and opened the car window with the other: "Granny, what's the matter?"

The old lady said with a smile, "Are you here to film a movie?"

"Filming?" Wang Butcher asked tentatively, "Granny, you must have mistaken us for someone else?"

"Mistaken, mistaken!" The old lady walked into the residential area with a hearty laugh, saying as she walked, "I was just thinking! How could the people who entered that room come out?"

Wang Butcher held the car window and said, "Granny, what place did you say people can't get out of once they enter? Tell me about it!"

The old lady stopped and said, "A few days ago! A group of young people said they were coming to film some community horror stories and they went into our residential area!"

"It's been several days since they went in, and none of them have come out! I'm afraid they're in grave danger!"

"Young people, you can't be curious about everything!"

Wang Butcher asked tentatively, "Is it impossible to enter your residential area?"

The old lady suddenly turned her head and said, "Haven't you already come in?"

Only then did Wang Butcher notice that Ye Yang's car was parked in the shadow of the surrounding buildings in the residential area. According to the saying in the art, entering the courtyard is entering the door, and standing in the shadow is entering the courtyard.

The general idea is: don't think you are still far away from the ghost's territory, maybe one of your feet has already stepped into their territory.

Ye Yang subconsciously pulled the handbrake, wanting to back up, but he didn't expect the shadow cast by the building to spread forward like flowing water for several meters, completely covering the car.

The temperature in the car dropped instantly, and Wang Butcher's arms were immediately covered in goosebumps.

When she looked at the old lady again, she found that she had disappeared.

Wang Butcher said in a deep voice, "Was that a Baosi Guishen (Death Messenger Ghost God) just now?"

The Baosi Guishen doesn't have a fixed form. Sometimes it can be a person, sometimes it can transform into a beast, or even a bird or a stone tablet.

The Baosi Guishen won't stare at people acting alone, it will only appear when there are two or more people. Once it appears next to someone, it means that someone among these people is going to die.

Ordinary people who encounter the Baosi Guishen might think she is talking nonsense.

If a sorcerer encounters the other party, it is a disaster.

Because the sorcerer understands that the Baosi Guishen has not locked onto a specific target. As long as one person dies in the group, this disaster will end.

If several sorcerers cannot work together, they will eventually die at the hands of the Baosi Guishen!

Ye Yang shook his head and said, "I can't tell!"

Wang Butcher asked Xia Mengying again, "Didn't that person only tell you to go to Shanglin Village to find him, and didn't say his surname, name, or how to find him?"

"No!" Xia Mengying said, "At that time, he only told me to come to Shanglin Village. Actually, I was also wondering if we were going in the wrong direction?"

"It shouldn't be wrong!" Wang Butcher said, "It's just that we haven't figured out what's wrong with Shanglin Village!"

While Wang Butcher was talking, Lin Zhao and I had already walked out of the residential area.

After we both told each other what we had encountered, I said, "Teacher Xia, can you be sure whether the man in black who asked you to find him was a person or a ghost god?"

"I don't know!" Xia Mengying shook her head and said, "At that time, I couldn't tell the difference between a person and a ghost god!"

I took a deep breath and said, "I just went around the residential area. Except for the gate, the other places in Shanglin Residential Area are sealed off by the buildings. In other words, this is equivalent to a square frame formed by five buildings."

"Ordinary people who go in are equivalent to entering a ghost domain and will be blocked inside and unable to come out."

"If this residential area is a place where humans and ghosts coexist, then we have to find a point first and then slowly unravel the secrets of the residential area."

I thought for a while and said, "After we go in, we will divide into two groups, one group will be responsible for finding people, and the other group will be responsible for dealing with the ghosts in the residential area."

"Leng Gou, you take Shijie (senior apprentice-sister) and Huanzi (Badger) to find people, and I will take Lin Zhao and Xia Xia to contain the ghost gods."

Seeing that Wang Butcher was about to object, I immediately said, "This is just my plan. Anything can change when we get to the residential area. We will adapt to the circumstances then."

"Also..." I added, "Didn't the old lady just say that someone was coming to film some residential area horror stories?"

"That means we can definitely find information about Shanglin Residential Area online."

"Lin Zhao, ask Chen Shuyu to look for clues, maybe it can help us."

"Everyone, prepare yourselves. We will enter the residential area after dark!"

Soon after Lin Zhao contacted Chen Shuyu, she sent me a message.

Shanglin Residential Area was even more complicated than I thought.
