I made myself the protagonist

"As soon as you two entered the room, I felt a permeating Yin Qi from your body. But only you and Su Li are fine."

Zhao Sicheng looked at Ling Yun and frowned: "That thing is probably for you. According to your description, she should be a water ghost who died in vain."

"The soul of the water ghost cannot enter reincarnation. It is nourished by the yin energy of the lake, and its resentment is increasing day by day. Now it creates this fog, just to use the water vapor to get ashore, and there is another fierce ghost in red. This guy is better than the ones we encountered before. Sisters are even stronger. If I guess correctly, it must be an A-level cursed item."

Zhao Sicheng's words made everyone feel nervous, and the expression on the face of the person involved, Ling Yun, was even worse.

"Why is it Brother Ling..." Tang Yao was puzzled.

"Now that I think about it, there is indeed a river on our way to the mountain in the north." Su Li said, "Maybe Ling Yun got into trouble with this thing nearby."

"No matter what, now that it has chosen Ling Yun, I'm afraid it won't give up until it kills him."

Zhao Sicheng looked at the time. It was now 3:10 in the morning, less than three hours before dawn.

Shen Tinglan looked solemn: "But the top priority is to find a way to let Ling Yun survive until the end of this level. Since it has marked Ling Yun, escaping is of no use. In addition, the fog outside is too heavy and the visibility is low, so it is better to stay where you are. "

"How about we stay with Brother Ling first and wait until dawn tomorrow morning before going up the mountain to think of a solution?" Tang Yao suggested.

"I'm sorry, everyone, for causing you trouble." Ling Yun had long been accustomed to the fact that he would be the first to be selected. But he didn't expect that this time he would get into such trouble.

Unlike the resentful spirits encountered before, the Water Ghost Bride did not take the initiative to attack after locking the target.

Zhao Sicheng speculated that because it was not near a water source, the ghost could only move with the help of water mist and would be induced by bewitchment.

"As long as we guard Ling Yun and don't let him leave this room, I don't believe that this water ghost has other ways to kill people." Zhao Sicheng said.

Although other companions expressed their willingness to accompany Ling Yun through the difficulties, considering the powerful ability of the ghost, Ling Yun took the initiative to stay in the house alone and let the others guard the room outside in order not to injure everyone.

"Ghosts are best at deceiving people, and they may even create illusions. We have suffered similar losses before. Since its target is only me, it's better for you to stay away."

Seeing that Shen Tinglan and others disagreed, Ling Yun quickly added: "If everyone falls into the trap, there will really be no way out."

After Ling Yun's repeated insistence, the others finally agreed.

"This is a protective spell drawn with my blood. It can resist the invasion of evil spirits and should be able to help you." Zhao Sicheng generously took out the talisman he carried with him and handed it to Ling Yun.

Su Li and Tang Yao found some salt from the kitchen and sprinkled it around the doors, windows and corners, which could also ward off evil spirits.

As if that was not enough, after finishing the preparations, Zhao Sicheng gritted his teeth and took out a dagger from his arms, cut his palm open and dripped blood on the ground.

The blood gradually condensed and took shape, and in everyone's sight, a headless ghost surrounded by black mist, dressed in ragged clothes, and covered in mud and blood appeared.

The headless ghost is the incarnation of a person whose body is incomplete after death. It does not harm people, and its only desire is to have people help it find the missing parts of its body.

"Fortunately, there is a cemetery on the mountainside. It is not difficult to summon a few ghosts. This headless ghost has been dead for nearly a hundred years and is already dressed in black. Although it is not as red as red, it is still quite good. "

"Then ask it, does it know what happened in this village?" Lin Yuanqi asked.

Zhao Sicheng shook his head: "The headless ghost is very secretive about this. Do you think I didn't ask? It just told me that if you want to investigate the affairs of the village, you can go to the ancestral hall ten miles to the east."

"Ancestral hall?"

Shen Tinglan thought for a while. The team searched the village during the day, and then went straight to the mountains in the north. Indeed, they never went to the east to investigate.

After secretly memorizing this clue, he asked the headless ghost: "Then do you know what happened to the water ghost who was eyeing my companion?"

When the headless ghost heard this, he quickly wrote a word on the ground: [禜](yíng)

"What the hell, does anyone recognize this word?" Zhao Sicheng squinted his eyes and scratched his head frantically.

Su Li stepped forward to identify it, and then said: "The god of mountains and rivers is responsible for floods, droughts, and plagues, so he is the god. This is an ancient sacrifice for floods and droughts."

"In other words, the water ghost was a sacrifice?" Lin Yuanqi asked.

"I guess it is. Its strength is far superior to that of the Headless Ghost. It suffered inhuman torture before its death. For hundreds of years, its soul has not been able to be reincarnated and its resentment has not dissipated." Zhao Sicheng waved his hand, indicating that the Headless Ghost would stay outside the window. Don't let any evil things come near Ling Yun's room.

After the incident is completed, he and his companions will go to the dense forest in the back mountain to help find its lost head.

"Fat man..." Ling Yun didn't expect that Zhao Sicheng would do this for him, and he suddenly didn't know what to say to thank him.

"Let's live through tomorrow first." Zhao Sicheng squeezed Ling Yun's shoulders heavily and whispered: "This is an A-level curse spirit. The few monsters in the morning were so difficult to deal with. Now you are alone. Be sure to Be careful."

"Thanks."

Ling Yun sent everyone to the door and said solemnly: "Unless I open the door myself. Otherwise, from now until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, no matter what noise comes from the house or what I say, everyone will be safe." Don't pay attention to it. If you are not careful... I'm afraid everyone will suffer from it!"

After Ling Yun finished speaking, he closed the door.

In the living room, Shen Tinglan lit up a fire. Zhao Sicheng, Lin Yuanqi and Su Li carefully inspected the room and sprinkled salt in every corner of the room.

Ren Yao opened the door a crack and checked the scene outside. The fog still did not dissipate, and he did not sense anything unusual. The yard was completely white outside, and the silence was filled with an unsettling and strange atmosphere.

After hearing the sound of the room being locked, Tang Yao squeezed her hands tightly and bit her lower lip.

She knew that she couldn't help Ling Yun at all now, and the only thing she could do was wait.

Shen Tinglan saw that Tang Yao was restless and kept wandering outside the bedroom door. She couldn't help but stepped forward and comforted him: "Believe in Ling Yun, he has a tough mind and will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

"Yes, sister Tang Yao, you should come over and stay with everyone first. Standing there all the time will not help." Lin Yuanqi sat by the fire and waved to her.

Tang Yao glanced at Shen Tinglan, who nodded to her. The two of them had just left the door, and the next second, a burst of movement came from outside the yard without any warning.

Coming!

The moment they heard the noise, everyone in the room almost didn't dare to breathe.

The sound sounded like footsteps, and within a few seconds, they arrived at the door.

Then - there was a knocking sound outside the door. It was not the wind, but someone gently knocking on the door with their hands.

Ren Yao suddenly raised his head. For some reason, he had a strong curiosity and wanted to see what was outside.

By some mistake, he took a step forward and reached out to the door...
