ut I'm not a savior, and I can't manage so many people. Lin Yanqin hurriedly pulled me upwards, and we watched as Lin Yahuan and Qi Kexin walked upstairs.They entered a room. Lin Yanhuan intentionally...I thought the person who had taken on this mission was hiding in the building. The "click-clack" sound was very faint, possibly just broken glass rolling around from a draft.

My brother glanced at me, and I shook my head, signaling not to open the safety passage door. The feeling from behind the door was very unsettling.

A wave of resentment hung heavy in the air.

My brother's phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Xu Yaqi's alias, asking if he had reached the basement elevator and asking him to send a video to confirm.

There's a half-body ghost here, definitely someone who participated in this game before. This woman didn't walk out of this building safely. Does Xu Yaqi not know

My brother frowned and replied: It's too dark down there, we don't dare to go down. Forget it, we won't participate.

Xu Yaqi sent a string of ellipses, then after a while, she said: Too late.

Is it too late

She followed up quickly: "Once you enter this building, the contract is in effect. If you try to back out at the last minute, you will be haunted by evil spirits and commit suicide. The only way out is to find the thing I designated."

Looking at her words, coupled with the increasingly closer "click-clack" sounds coming from behind the door, I felt like she had a premonition of what was about to happen.

The sleeves of Bai Wu Chang's robe fell soundlessly, chains dropping within them. The white chains slithered and coiled on the ground like snakes.

I looked at him, and he smiled at me with crinkled eyes.

In his eyes, even the fiercest ghosts are just "good children", aren't they He is a god who specializes in catching and binding souls.

Given his posture, I bet there's a ghost behind the door

The scraping sound at the door stopped, and we waited for what seemed like an eternity, but there was no further movement.

My brother couldn't wait any longer, he clutched the Universe-Conquering Sword in one hand and gripped the railing of the safety door with the other.

The moment the crack in the door was pushed open, a suffocating wave of resentment filled the air. My brother lunged with his sword, but it went straight through empty space. He kicked the door open immediately, and a ghostly figure swayed behind it.

The apparition was dishevelled and bowed its head away from us, wearing a high heel on one foot.

My scalp went numb... This is, Xu Yaqi

She slowly turned her head, her voice carrying a sharp edge: "You want to leave me behind, don't you — My foot is hurt — I need to take the elevator down—"

What's going on How did she become a ghost!

She kept repeating this phrase, and her brother couldn't help but retort: “It’s not because the young master is kind that you're not just having one leg broken! Do you understand! I could have directly broken your whole body! You would have had no chance to cause more trouble here!”

The ghost slowly turned its head: "I have no feet, I might as well be dead... How could Yan Huan possibly take a cripple My feet... I can't find my feet..."

My brother scoffed, "You're too self-confident, aren't you Your father sent you to him just to create the illusion that you're close to a big leader, making it easier for him to advance his career. Lin Yanhuan and your father each get what they need from this arrangement. Are you stupid Why would Lin Yanhuan ever look at someone like you, a white lotus green tea bitch"

Bai Wu Chang didn't rush to collect the ghost. He flew straight up and disappeared into the ceiling, who knows what he was doing.

The specter staggered and turned, its hair gradually billowing, before it could reach her, the red light from the ring illuminated the entire hallway.

This apparition is very intelligent. It immediately dodged the red light and flew upstairs. My brother was about to chase after it when a piercing scream from the second floor reached us. Bai Wuchang had locked onto this ghost.

He frowned and said, "My Lady, this is a living soul. Soothe the spirit in your womb, destroying her would bring karmic retribution."

Living soul!

“How could a living soul fly here” I quickly soothed the two little ancestors who couldn't wait for the evil spirits to come over. They calmed down when they were patted on their bellies, and it didn't feel like my stomach was burning anymore.

Speaking of souls leaving the body, besides being cast under a spell during sleep or Mu Yunliang (Situ Lin)'s technique of separating one's soul, I haven't seen any other instances.

"That's not right! If she's out of her body, then who's texting me" My brother pulled out his phone and frowned. "Could it be that she's separated into two souls Si Tu Lin is best at this kind of magic."

The cannibal ghost, wood demon, and Mu Yunliang from the previous root carving were all deceased spirits, so there was no karmic retribution in restraining them. But this Xu Yaqi seems to be alive...

"What should we do We can't detain her, nor can we destroy her... Should we just let her go" I looked at Bai Wu Chang with some gratitude. If he hadn't told me about this karmic obstacle, I might have already taken this soul for myself.

What I fear most now is this phrase "karmic obstacles," not just for the child in my belly, but also for Jiang Qiyun. I'm terrified that it will have a negative impact on them.

My brother was a little upset: "She's harming people, you know If we just let her go, won't she harm more people If we don't do anything, who will"

Well...that actually makes sense.

But forcibly seizing souls definitely creates karmic obstacles. Why do so many masters only look at the yang and not the yin It's because looking at the yin harms one's own fortune and good karma. Even doing good deeds will burden oneself with karmic obstacles.

"Come, let's have a look…" Bai Wu Chang took out his long official stamp from his sleeve and tapped it on Xu Ya Qi’s soul. She blankly lowered her hands and was dragged away by the chains.

As we walked upstairs, we discovered a mezzanine level between the first and basement floors.

No wonder I had to go down two flights of stairs earlier, it turns out the middle floor is accessed through this fire escape.

This is the kitchen, a semi-basement with a dedicated dumbwaiter.

The doorway to the countertop was now completely covered in congealed blood. On the counter lay a severed lower half of a woman's body... her foot had been chopped off as well.

I was so sick to my stomach, I didn't want to go in. I stood at the door, trying to calm the churning acid.

There was also a man's body inside, probably the male from the previous couple who participated in this death game. They must have been driven mad by the elevator and killed each other at the entrance.

"Damn, that's disgusting, what the hell is this..." My brother found a broken torso and guts in the big pot, it stank terribly.

He covered his mouth and ran out: "It's no use, we can't control the situation here. What about the two bodies Tell Uncle Chengsu to handle it. We need to figure out how to deal with this living soul."

My brother took out his phone and texted Xu Yaqi over there: "Do whatever you want, we don't believe ghosts can kill people! We're leaving now, bye-bye."

After a long silence, he finally replied: …I will find you. Don't think you can get away with this.

I'm not afraid of her threats at all. Lin Yanhuan's attitude is very clear, he wants to eliminate future troubles and will definitely find a way to level this place. And since Xu Yaqi is involved, he can only bring down the entire power of the Xu family.

Without the backing of authority, Ms. Xu simply doesn't hold any weight.

After I got home, I locked myself in the bathroom and wouldn't come out. Bai Wu Chang was hovering in my room, waiting for Jiang Qiyun. I took a bath with mugwort but didn't dare go out until I heard Jiang Qiyun's voice——hidden meaning behind it. A son returning home, should be welcomed by his family…”Uh, uh, uh, uh!This answer is too...Lian Long carried the medicine box down the mountain, and I stood in the cold wind...
