Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Brother Zhao, what's going on?"

Zong Haisheng couldn't quite understand Zhao Yi's instructions to them.

Zhao Yi slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke and calmly said:

"We were just enveloped by the power of the evil spirit, so logically we should have become its target."

"But in fact, the streetlights in the distance are still going out."

"In other words, the power of evil spirits is still spreading..."

Liao Hongqiao suddenly understood what Zhao Yi was thinking:

"You mean, the evil spirits aren't targeting us?"

Zhao Yi remained silent for a while.

"It would be safer to put it another way."

"I think... the evil spirits didn't 'see' us."

The two were taken aback:

Why do you say that?

Zhao Yi raised his chin towards the farthest street lamp.

"Here you are."

"That streetlight is about 300 meters away from us. The evil spirit's power has already spread to that area."

"If an evil spirit sees us and wants to use its power to trick us into doing something, triggering its urge to kill, then it has no need to spread its power so far..."

"Just cover us up directly."

But that's not the case.

"So at that moment, I began to wonder if it hadn't even seen us at all, and was simply casting a wide net to test its prey?"

After listening, the two of them looked at Zhao Yi with the same eyes they had for a monster.

Under those circumstances, how could this person still think so quickly?

Doesn't he feel any fear at all?

This mindset may seem to be described simply by the word "calm," but in reality, achieving it is harder than climbing to the sky!

Although they had already witnessed Zhao Yi's abilities in the movie "2188 Tower", they were still shocked when they met again after so long!

"In any case, time is of the essence, and we can't afford to waste any more time."

"Let's split up. I'll go to my house, and you guys go to yours. Once you find any clues related to our previous adventure on Cursed Mountain, contact us immediately!"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded.

"good!"

Although separating from Zhao Yi made them feel extremely uneasy, they knew that relying solely on Zhao Yi was not a solution.

Without sufficient information, Zhao Yi wouldn't be able to help them survive.

So the three of them parted ways.

Zhao Yi went to his own residence, while Liao Hezong went to their room.

...

Inside the interrogation room, everyone remained silent.

A chill rose from the soles of my feet and spread to the top of my head.

The fat man held a talisman in his hand, half-burned, but it was extinguished by blood.

There was also a bloody handprint on his neck.

It's obvious that it was pinched just now.

The fat man froze, his entire body floating in the air, his face bluish-purple, his pupils dilated, and he no longer showed any signs of life...

he died.

Died from an attack by an evil spirit.

The evil spirit had left, but the fat man still hadn't fallen from the sky.

This time, not only the actors involved, but even Zhang Dapao and others were terrified!

It's only been a few minutes?

The evil spirit launched another attack?

Moreover, the exorcism items that Fatty bought from the mall beforehand were useless!

This time, they were truly terrified!

"How...how could this happen?"

Xiao Xuan, a female team member on Zhang Dapao's side, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing.

She was also holding a purple incense stick in her hand.

She lit incense when the evil spirit appeared!

But just a gust of bone-chilling wind blew by, and the incense stick in his hand, which cost 2000 points, was extinguished!

Then, she watched as the fat man gripped her neck tightly and lifted her up!

Those cold, green eyes were filled with boundless resentment and rage!

Xiao Xuan was absolutely certain that it wasn't the fat man's gaze!

He's possessed by a vengeful spirit!

Both the talisman in the fat man's hand and the incense in her hand were specifically used to exorcise ghosts!

Even the ancient corpse they encountered in a certain ancient mountain village could be suppressed by the fat man's talisman for a while, but now it was completely ignored by the evil spirit!

What the hell is this evil spirit?

Even the exorcism items from the store didn't work!

"Team, captain."

Duan Chao, the young man with dyed hair, was no longer arrogant at this moment. He stammered and tugged at Zhang Dapao, the man in the trench coat.

"Should we... just abandon this mission?"

"This time, the evil spirit seems to be completely beyond our capabilities!"

Zhang Dapao's face also looked very ugly.

"This mission is different from our usual missions. I warned you before you came in that once you accepted this mission, there was no turning back."

"We either complete this mission, or we all die here!"

The young man with dyed hair gritted his teeth and became agitated.

"But you didn't tell us back then that the evil spirits in this mission were this terrifying!"

"Now that you've brought everyone in, you must get them out of here!"

"We came here to collect rewards, not to follow you into this mess and die!"

Zhang Dapao's face darkened, but he still suppressed his anger and said:

"Duan Chao, now is not the time for infighting."

"This place is no longer safe; we have to leave immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xuan, who was near the window, pointed to the streetlights in the distance outside and exclaimed in shock:

"Look, you all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly moved closer.

As the eye could see, the streetlights in the distance began to go out, and frost began to spread across the ground...

"Not again?!"

This time, everyone was stunned!

The next moment, no one thought about relying on anyone else, and they turned around and rushed outside!

The police station left behind two cold bodies without taking them.

Those who ran away didn't see that, shortly after they left, the fat man and the woman who had died in the interrogation room suddenly turned their necks stiffly, staring with dead eyes at the direction the crowd had fled...
