ot be dispelled. That evil spirit avoided the laws of the netherworld to cultivate into a ghost god and planned to take revenge. The best way to do so was through a ghost marriage as a sacrifice to b..."This body—" Chen Ruozheng was about to say, suddenly covered her mouth with both hands and looked around in horror.

We were still in a strange situation, not suitable for conversation. I patted her shoulder to calm her down: "…Where are you hurt Why are you holding a knife"

"I... ugh... it hurts... Did I do this to myself" She slightly lifted her chin, and I saw a scratch on her jaw.

"I just now, suddenly felt like my consciousness and body were out of control... I was holding this tool knife, then went to get a thermos... There was only one thought in my mind, I had to fill a bowl with blood..." Her face turned pale, she whispered to me.

What did she discover Did she suddenly trigger some hidden mechanism

Chen Ru was very clever. She whispered irrelevant things to me while writing in my palm with her fingers.

Previously, we saw some fragmented text through close-up shots. Chen shot and scanned it from multiple angles and discovered that there were several Chinese characters along with Japanese characters. Some of them were pressed under the body of the corpse. She couldn't help herself and, wearing a mask and gloves, went to gently pull out some of the cloth strips.

She was quite skilled, and didn't directly touch the corpse. However, when she pulled out a section of cloth and then returned to the computer, touching the mouse, she lost control completely.

— On the top it reads: Blood Offering, Demon Spirit Subdued.

I looked at my palm, then back at Chen Ruo. Her gaze was unwavering.

Then, what about those Japanese words I furrowed my brow and wrote back in her hand.

——That seems like some kind of seal, maybe from a document... Chen Ru wrote in my palm while frowning with confusion.

I'm also confused. There's a Japanese monk outside, and there are seals with Japanese writing on this zombie

What secrets lie hidden within

》》》

Donate blood, demons transformed.

What does this mean

As I treated Chen Ru's cut with the medicine kit from the lab, I couldn't help but think.

The literal meaning seems to be a form of ritual, using fresh blood to worship so-called "demons" in order to allow them to descend.

But our current situation seems isolated from the outside world. The air vent is pitch black, and I can't see my hand in front of me. I tried throwing a roll of tape over there, but not even a sound came out. I have no idea what kind of space it is in the dark.

"Miss Mu... aren't we trapped" Chen Ru asked, a little nervously.

"Well, if your findings are correct, it should take a sacrifice to break the deadlock." I said, lowering my head and unzipping my small handbag.

Inside the small satchel were reinforcements. I looked down, and these two "wooden people," Adai and Ameng, seemed so docile They needed to absorb Yin energy to gather their spirits, so why were they so quiet today

The two little figures lay quietly at the bottom of my handbag, almost motionless.

"Hey, what's up" I poked them.

Amo is probably feigning death. A-Da can't do it, A-Da is too honest, he can't fake it. I poked him and A-Da moved right away.

"Oh my... Little Empress, this... this we couldn't possibly leave your bag..." A Meng had no choice but to grit his teeth and whisper an explanation.

"Why are you afraid At least I haven't seen anything dangerous yet." I looked around, although my spine was tingling, there wasn't anything terrifying in sight. The entire lab was as silent as a tomb.

Grave…

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but look at the small room across from me where the coffin was placed.

"Little Madam, this isn't ordinary ghost energy, this aura is so heavy. We're probably going to suffer damage to our primordial spirit if we come out. You have charms wrapped around you, so it's a bit safer," Ah Meng said.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you afraid or just lazy"

"No no no, absolutely not. You saw just now that even Qīyé's avatar disappeared after saving this little girl." A Meng said cautiously, shrinking her neck.

Ameng looked at me half-believing, then continued, "We've seen Qijie's avatar before. Sometimes he doesn't want to go in person to collect souls, so he uses avatars to do it. With Qijie's cultivation level, maintaining hundreds of avatars is no problem. But just now... This little girl was corrupted by evil energy and lost her mind, holding a knife to her neck. Luckily, Qijie grabbed her soul and held her hand until you found her... No, even Qijie disappeared."

"What are we going to do now You just stand by me, helpless when I'm in trouble. What use are you to me!" I frowned and put on a fierce expression.

Ah Da and Ah Meng weren't afraid of me at all, but when I said this, they helplessly replied: "It's true, if we still haven't broken the deadlock after so long, who knows how Lord Emperor will punish us…"

He jumped up, pressed himself against the edge of his backpack as if afraid to touch the outside air. He poked his head out quickly and whispered, "This place is full of illusions. Your divine tiger, Your Highness, might be able to dispel the evil."

"The Divine Tiger was painted by Jiang Qiyun into a talisman, the one you're standing on." I pulled a talisman from under Ameng's feet.

I don't use the Shenhu Seal often because it was very difficult to control when I was pregnant. Later, Jiang Qiyun transformed into a talisman and gave it to me to prevent me from being unable to pinch my fingers together in a hurry.

Since the Purple Cloud Wishful Stick came into my possession, I often relied on it to dispel evil and misfortune. At this moment, as soon as the Divine Tiger Seal was drawn out, it moved on its own accord, emitting a faint humming sound, as if eager to pounce.

The surrounding air suddenly became tense and heavy, like a pocket that had been suddenly tightened, or a drawstring pulled abruptly tight.

"Roar!" The divine tiger burst forth from the seal.

A roar, earth-shattering and deafening, shook the surrounding darkness. The maze within seemed like parched soil, crumbling layer by layer.

Suddenly, the light became bright, and even the previously dark corners were now slightly illuminated. I turned my head and saw a pair of bony hands flash past the doorway to the bathroom where I had been just moments ago.

"Ahh ahh ahh — over there!!" Startled, I hurriedly raised my Zixiao Ruyi and pointed it in that direction.

The divine tiger pounced suddenly in that direction, but landed empty. A semicircular bowl lid lay on the ground, swaying slightly. The faint sound was particularly nerve-wracking.

"Chen Ru... Did you just, did you use a thermos... to hold, to hold the blood..." My scalp tingled.

I definitely didn't see wrong, something must have come out!

And this thing, should be that corpse—if it still has a soul.

Chen Ru's entire body stiffened as she spoke behind me, her lips trembling as she stammered, "...I... I don't know either... But my wound isn't too deep... It should be fine..."

How is it possible that nothing happened Blood, perhaps just a drop would be enough.

Smack—

The lights flickered suddenly, and the divine tiger whirled around, facing me with a wary stance.

Just now, that flash let me see something reflecting under the computer chair.

"What's that"

“Huh” Chen followed my finger and looked. “That’s… that’s my folding makeup mirror… I just wanted to put in my contact lenses…”

There is a mirror in the formation.

I immediately rushed over and picked up the mirror.

In the tiny mirror, a figure suddenly appeared—pale and gray, withered and shriveled, with limbs like claws. It stood on the ceiling, grinning wickedly at me!

Evil spirit!

I accidentally knocked over the mirror and struck the Heavenly Flower Board with the Yao Lei Jue!

The apparition vanished in a flash, but the mirror shattered on the ground when Lei Fa struck it with his magic, breaking into several pieces!

"AAAAAAAAAA— Miss Mu, the zombie is alive, it's alive!" Chen Ru saw this ghost and suddenly screamed, his scream made my scalp numb.

Did the corpse come back to life I frantically looked towards the room where the coffins were kept, Shen Hu roared again and charged at the ghosts, I didn't know which end to attend to!

With a loud crack, the mirror in the bathroom shattered!

When I was flustered and at a loss, a hand suddenly reached out from behind me and grabbed my wrist.

"Ah!" I panicked and turned my head, what other monsters and ghosts!

In the midst of chaos, my head bumped into a cool, hard chin, and then I heard a familiar voice ringing in my ears—

"...What are you panicking about"o drive for a while longer to get back to the village.Here, a highway interchange is being expanded. Although the blueprint hasn't been released yet, farmers are frantically building houses in anticip...
