Nightmare Light

Chapter 213 The Dark Soul

Lin Wang pulled the white flame out from the crack in the wall: "I can sense all the changes in this white flame, so I let it pass through this crack... to figure out the thickness of this wall."

He spread his arms and gestured a width of about one meter: "This wall is very thick... about this thick."

Ah Zhe, with a straight face, said, "Oh, I see."

Lin Wang pondered, "And there's a passageway on the other side... The problem is, how do we get there?"

"Who cares, let's just go around in circles!" Ah Zhe waved his hand dismissively, "Anyway, we'll find it eventually if we keep going around in circles..."

"And then what? What if you get lost?" Lin Wang rolled his eyes.

“If all else fails, I’ll just wander around… I’ll find it eventually.” A-Zhe said cheerfully. “Let me tell you, once I got lost while wandering around! So I grabbed a little stick, threw it around, and let the stick guide me…”

"And then? Did you find your way back?"

"No, they were sent back by the police later."

"..." Lin Wang's face twitched. "Your method might work, but the problem is, are you sure those children can wait this long?"

"Oh, right." A-Zhe chuckled sheepishly.

"Wait, I have an idea." Lin Wang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out a crumpled fruit, and held it in his hand.

At that moment, A-Zhe looked very surprised: "This...you...what is this?"

Lin Wang didn't notice A Zhe's expression, and said, "This is the fruit of a very unlucky tree... It can be used to absorb shadow energy."

As Lin Wang spoke, he began to mobilize his spiritual power, guiding out the divine power within.

As a portion of the divine power was channeled out, a faint light gradually filled the surrounding air.

At the same time, the two could clearly see the abnormal darkness around them rapidly flowing into the fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fruit gradually swells up, becoming round and plump.

During this process, A-Zhe clearly saw that the dark current surging from a certain direction deep in the passage behind him was significantly denser than that from other directions!

"go!"

Holding the white flame in one hand and the tree fern fruit in the other, Lin Wang ran towards the direction where the shadows could flow.

A-Zhe was behind him, her expression a little strange. After a few seconds of hesitation, she called out to Lin Wang, "Hey! Wait for me!" and then ran after him.

They ran through the passage for two or three minutes, then turned into a side passage on the left. After advancing several hundred meters in this side passage, they were attacked for the first time.

Without warning, the shadow energies gathered and twisted in the void, eventually forming a grotesque and twisted monster.

It looks like a splash of ink on paper, which then wriggles down the paper and takes on a physical form.

After writhing a few times, the thing transformed into a bizarre shape with a liquid lower body and a "human" upper body, splattering with black liquid as it lunged at Lin Wang and A Zhe.

Ah Zhe cried out and took two steps back.

Instead of retreating, Lin Wang advanced. With a wave of his hand, a ball of white fire roared toward the dark monster, enveloping it tightly and freezing it into a dark ice sculpture before shattering into pieces in the next second.

"What is that?" A-Zhe exclaimed.

Lin Wang's expression was grim: "If I'm not mistaken, that is..."

He paused. "Some souls from the past."

"Huh? You mean, those are the souls of the children who fell ill before?" A-Zhe was shocked, her eyes instantly turning red.

"No, don't be so pessimistic." Lin Wang said calmly, "I believe that the children in our orphanage should be safe."

"why?"

“There are two reasons.” Lin Wang continued forward, encountering several more of those monsters along the way. “First, I don’t think that thing can transform so quickly… otherwise, there should be no living people left in the entire Tangsheng City by now.”

"Secondly, the physical bodies of the children in our orphanage are still alive, which means that their souls must be continuing in some way."

"hope so."

After walking a few more steps, the number of those black monsters around them increased significantly. Although they still couldn't put any pressure on Lin Wang, their pace slowed considerably. A Zhe muttered, "These things are so annoying... They look just like children's tears."

Lin Wang suddenly jolted awake: "What did you say?"

“Me?” A-Zhe was taken aback. “I said all this stuff is so annoying.”

"No, the other sentence!"

"These slime monsters look a lot like Little Baozi's tears... Is that the sentence?"

"I'll give it a try!" Lin Wang exclaimed excitedly.

With a wave of his hand, a large burst of white flames surged forth.

Although his white flames are much weaker in his normal human form than in his giant form, they are still not difficult to deal with these shadow monsters.

White flames erupted, freezing the dozens of dark monsters in front of them into ice sculptures.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wang grabbed one of them and switched the white flame to a high-temperature state.

Under the intense heat, the monster writhed and emitted a piercing howl.

Ah Zhe screamed and covered his ears.

Lin Wang remained calm and composed, watching the monster with equanimity.

A dozen seconds later, the flames dissipated.

The pitch-black monster in front of them transformed into a still pitch-black, but clear and transparent liquid.

It wriggled and gradually took on a human shape.

Lin Wang held the tree fern fruit above its head, and the sacred light emanating from the fruit shone on the head of the human-shaped shadow.

"Lin Wang, what are you doing?"

“I want to see what he originally looked like,” Lin Wang said.

“…Him?” A-Zhe murmured.

Under the divine light, the shadow gradually changed. It, or rather, the shadow energy within it, was slowly extracted, and divine power surged back in. With the blessing of divine power, the dark shadow gradually transformed into the form of a normal soul.

It was deathly pale, eerie, and even a little scary to look at.

However, we can already clearly see what "he" looked like when he was alive.

The soul appeared to be the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.

He had ordinary features, a blank expression, and even looked a bit dazed.

Lin Wang raised his hand and waved it in front of the man: "Do you remember what happened before?"

The man remained unresponsive and motionless.

"Lin Wang, he's a soul, how could he possibly communicate with you?" A Zhe complained.

Then, she saw a flash of light in Lin Wang's hand.

Immediately afterwards, the man actually reacted!

A-Zhe opened his eyes wide.

She saw that after the light in Lin Wang's hand flashed, he asked the ghostly man the same question again.

The man slowly raised his head!
