“You arrived at Suiyuan before me. What’s the situation here? Tell me what you know.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Naifen immediately perked up, released Li Sushang's arm, and pulled out her little jade tablet from her pocket:
"Good question! As a location scouting livestreamer, I've done my homework. Let me find the video script."
She made a few strokes on the jade tablet and began to read:
"A graceful fairy fox, with a long and thick tail."
Suiyuan was originally a garden paradise created by a fox-spirit craftsman, a place for his compatriots to rest, stroll, compose poems, and feast..."
She turned a page and continued reading:
"It is said that during the war of the bountiful people thirty years ago, the fox clan's elite flying warriors were all deployed, and many were killed or wounded."
People spontaneously went to the Fox's Tomb in Suiyuan Garden to mourn the deceased, which sparsely populated the garden and made it quieter.
She turned another page, slowing down:
"Over time, the eerie will-o'-the-wisps in Suiyuan flickered on and off, and mournful sobs echoed in the air."
News of the haunted Suiyuan Garden spread like wildfire among the residents of Luofu Xianzhou.
After hearing this, March 7th's face paled even more: "So there really are ghosts here?"
“That’s right.” Gui Naifen put away the jade tablet, her expression unusually serious.
“I came to Suiyuan to gather information and conducted thorough research.”
The ghost stories may sound absurd, but the people from the Ten Kings' Division are genuine this time.
"The Ten Kings' Court?" March 7th asked fearfully, "The judge has arrived?"
“Yes.” Gui Naifen nodded. “The Ten Kings Division is in charge of supernatural matters in Luofu. The fact that the judge himself was present indicates that this is no small matter. Speaking of which…”
She suddenly lowered her voice and moved closer.
"If there's any disturbance ahead, we must make sure to go around it."
"Even if we don't encounter ghosts, if we run into the judge of the underworld, we'll definitely be kicked out, and this trip will have been a waste."
Qi Ye chimed in from the side, "Are you still thinking about your live stream?"
"Of course I'm thinking about it! This is the most important episode I've ever had as a live streamer!"
Gui Naifen spoke with righteous indignation.
"Besides, we haven't found Xingdu yet, we can't just turn back halfway."
What exactly happened in Chapter 221?
Qi Ye nodded, then raised her hand to correct her:
"But we're here to find someone, not to take risks. We can just ask the people in the Ten Kings Division."
Since they're here, they must know where Xing and Uncle Yang are.
Li Sushang immediately raised both hands in agreement: "Yes, yes, let's find the Ten Kings Division! They are professionals, let's not mess around."
Gui Naifen opened her mouth, clearly wanting to object.
But after looking at Li Sushang, and then at Qiye and Sanyueqi, he realized that with a three-to-one ratio, his vote would be useless.
She sighed:
"Alright, alright, let's find the Ten Kings' Division. But let me make this clear first, if the judge kicks someone out, you have to speak up for me."
"How can I help you?" March 7th asked.
"Please plead for me! Let me film a couple more scenes before I leave."
"Go ask for it yourself."
The four of them left the side hall and walked deeper into the courtyard along the corridor.
According to Gui Naifen, since the people from the Ten Kings' Office had entered Suiyuan.
It should be near the Fox Sleeping Tomb, which is the place where the most ghost stories are concentrated.
The corridor was long and winding, but after walking for quite a while, we didn't see a single person, not even a shadow.
After walking for a while on March 7th, I couldn't help but speak up:
"How come this place is so big? I've been walking around for ages and haven't seen a soul."
"Suiyuan is a grotto garden, and it is actually larger than it looks."
Gui Naifen said.
"But it is indeed strange. When Su Chang and I sneaked in earlier, we clearly saw the Cloud Cavalry and the Ten Kings' Division patrolling nearby."
Why can't I run into any of them now?
Li Sushang frowned as well: "Could it be that they've changed shifts?"
"Even with a shift change, it's impossible to completely withdraw. The Ten Kings' Office always leaves people on duty when it comes to handling affairs."
Qi Ye walked at the front, her eyes constantly scanning the corridors on both sides.
He remembered this part of the story at Suiyuan, though only vaguely.
But the current situation is not quite what he knew.
The news about Xing disappeared inexplicably, Uncle Yang vanished without a trace, and not a single person from the Ten Kings Division could be found.
This is very wrong.
He stopped, and March 7th nearly bumped into his back:
"what happened?"
Qi Ye didn't turn around, but simply raised her hand and made a "don't make a sound" gesture.
“I think there’s something wrong,” he said in a low voice.
"What's the problem?"
"We might have entered an illusion."
March 7th's expression changed: "An illusion?"
Qi Ye didn't explain, but simply raised her hand and pressed it lightly against her chest.
A halo expanded from his head and instantly covered the entire corridor.
It is precisely the "Mirror of Reversal" that grants immunity to negative effects.
A halo enveloped the corridors, courtyards, distant houses, and the edge of the bamboo grove.
Then it slowly dissipated, and nothing happened.
Qi Ye frowned.
If this is an illusion, the aura of the Reversal Mirror should be able to tear apart the illusion, or at least cause fluctuations in the environment.
But when that light swept over, nothing around it moved.
"Not an illusion?"
Seeing that his expression was off, he asked in a low voice on March 7th.
Qi Ye shook his head and did not answer.
He withdrew his hand and looked around.
The fact that the Reverse Mirror didn't work means that the environment here is real.
But if it's true, why can't any of the Ten Kings' Division members be touched?
Why have we walked for so long and not seen a single living creature?
He thought for a moment, then asked Gui Naifen:
"When you came in, roughly where were the people from the Ten Kings' Division?"
Gui Naifen recalled:
"It's near the Fox Sleeping Tomb."
We were scared away by the will-o'-the-wisps before we even got there, but we saw their lights in the distance.
How far is the Fox Sleeping Tomb from here?
"It shouldn't be far. Just go through that moon gate ahead and turn two more corners."
Qi Ye glanced in the direction she was pointing.
The moon gate is located at the end of the corridor.
He stepped over.
March 7th followed behind him and asked in a low voice, "What are you worried about?"
Slow down your pace at night:
"What I'm worried about is that if this isn't an illusion, then the disappearance of the Ten Kings' Division can only mean two things."
Either something happened to them, or they were transferred away by something.
Regardless of the reason, it indicates that there is someone here capable of mobilizing the power of the Ten Kings' Courts.
……
They hadn't gone far when they came to a garden, and Qi Ye suddenly stopped.
Something was moving in the grass ahead; a green flame floated among the blades of grass.
March 7th gasped, took a half step back, and before she could even open her mouth, Qi Ye covered it with his hand.
"Well"
Qi Ye shook her head at her, then turned her head and winked at Li Sushang behind her.
He first pointed to the green light, then to himself and Li Sushang, making a gesture of flanking from both sides.
Li Sushang paused for a moment, then nodded.
Although she didn't read many books, Gui Naifen always called her illiterate.
But when it comes to actually fighting, her combat instincts are quite good.
She crouched down, tiptoed, and slowly circled around from the right.
Qi Ye released San Yueqi's mouth, signaling her to stay where she was, and then moved closer to her from the left.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched the ball of green flame in the middle.
Qi Ye held her breath and nodded to Li Sushang.
The two lunged forward at the same time.
The green light suddenly moved.
"You little coward, look at the spot you chose, you've been spotted."
A disdainful voice came from within the green light.
Qi Ye's hand froze in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out, clearly somewhat flustered:
"Grandpa Tail, really? You're not kidding me!"
Upon hearing the voice clearly and connecting it to the words, Qi Ye immediately thought of a person.
The green light slowly spread out, revealing what was hidden inside.
She was a thin, petite fox-girl with long green hair.
A pair of fox ears hung on top of her head, and her two hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes.
She crouched in the grass, curled up in a ball, looking around anxiously.
The most striking thing was her tail, which was big and fluffy, and was a burning green flame.
Qi Ye crouched in the grass, looking at her, unsure of what to say.
