al""You only know now""Tsk, there are other Yincha in that area, I'm not familiar with them… Recently a friend came to me to complain, saying that area seems to have some problems." Dabao whispered.Da..."Xiao Qiao, come in. While my dad's not here, quickly have a look…" Zhao Xiaoru's house was the first one. She opened the door and motioned for us to enter.

I looked across to the balcony again, but the black cat was gone.

The moment the door opened, I felt a breath of icy air, but there was no sense of dread like encountering a ghost.

What's wrong with this room

My brother stood in the doorway, blocking the entrance. He gave me a look warning me to be careful.

I quietly clutched the talisman, but it only worked on evil spirits. What if there weren't any ghosts here

The house is very simple, with one living room and one bedroom. The balcony is enclosed and used as a kitchen.

Apart from a strange feeling of icy air, there was nothing unusual. However, the compass in my hand twitched and pointed directly at the closed balcony.

There you can see an old, half-used refrigerator.

"Xiao Zhao, could you temporarily disconnect the refrigerator" I looked up at her.

She looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with the refrigerator If it's out of power, the frost inside will melt."

"Oh, appliances affect the magnetic field. With so many devices here in such a confined space, the magnetic fields are all mixed up... it's best to unplug the television too, just for now." I explained.

She hummed in response, obediently unplugging both the refrigerator and the television.

The needle moved slightly, then returned to its original position, still pointing at the refrigerator.

I looked at that old, green fridge. The paint on one side was already peeling, revealing rust stains.

The place where the body is hidden, is that refrigerator, right

When this thought popped into my head, I got a chill down my spine, and even imagined blood seeping out from the gap in the fridge…

"Xiao Qiao" Zhao Xiaoru called me softly.

I looked up, her expression remained unchanged, still carrying a pleading and vulnerable look.

For some reason, I found her face a little frightening.

The compass isn't lying, there must be something hidden in the refrigerator.

Did she not know what was in her own refrigerator Or—was she fully aware, yet unafraid, even feigning helplessness to lure me over

The moment I thought about her once uttering that voice of a wanton spirit, I felt she grew more and more bewitching with each passing glance.

"Isn't my house too small" she asked softly.

I picked up the compass and shook it, saying, “No, no, this isn’t your fault. It’s my compass that forgot to be demagnetized on time. It’s a bit off. A single line of difference can ruin everything. I’ll go back and get another one. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After saying that, she immediately grabbed my brother and led him toward the iron ladder.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind: Where are you going

My brother and I were taken aback. We turned around to see a dark corridor behind us. There was no one there. The metal frame staircase that had just been there was now gone!

"Damn it, I ran into my enemy! Jump!" My brother pulled me and we jumped. Luckily, the second floor wasn't very high.

Then Zhao Xiaoru's scream rang out, and I couldn't help but turn back—

"Just forget about her!" My brother dragged me out onto the street. "Even if she's not the main culprit, she's definitely an accomplice! Living in this kind of place and she hasn't had a single problem! Something's definitely fishy!"

The small shop downstairs from Zhao Xiaoru's house suddenly opened its shutter, and two short men came running out to chase us.

As I ran, I instinctively reached out to protect my stomach. Would this intense running affect the developing fetus

“There seems to be a barrier here! We can’t get out!” My brother looked at the road ahead, and for some reason, we couldn't run out.

I clutched my stomach and turned back to see the two men chasing me. I pressed my hand against my chest silently reciting a protective mantra.

With two puffs of blue smoke, I was enveloped in a haze.

The short man grinned maliciously: "Useless, this barrier was personally laid down by our great mage. Nothing you summon can get in!"

Great Master

These cult leaders

My brother stepped in front of me and asked, "What is the purpose of all this fuss"

The sorcerer sneered and said, “Wrongdoers have their heads, and debtors have their masters. Our Grand Master has already figured out the ins and outs of this matter. He only wants you to do us a favor. You'd better know when to yield, or else you'll only die a miserable death!”

I squeezed my brother's palm, reminding him that there were still several sorcerers around who were controlling the barrier. We couldn't win by brute force.

My brother nodded and said, "Okay, what can I do to help"

The sorcerer laughed wickedly and gestured for us to follow him. We gritted our teeth and went back into that rented house.

The shutter of the store on the first floor was half open. We hadn't had time to look at it just now, but we noticed a large spatter of blood on the counter inside.

"Don't be afraid…" the evil master smiled faintly. "There aren't many living people left in this building."

My face drained of color. Behind a single roller shutter, there was actually such a human hell…

The compass isn't broken, this is a place where yin gathers and bodies are buried, and it's not just one body!

Besides Zhao Xiaoru's broken limbs in the refrigerator at her house, there were also broken limbs in the icebox of this small shop!

The thighs, arms, and a woman's hand with bright red nail polish, but missing one finger.

In the shop, there were piles of opened instant noodle boxes, probably eaten by these evil practitioners. Looking further in, the room that was originally supposed to be the shopkeeper's residence had been occupied by an old man.

The old man sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, shaking a white prayer wheel in his hand. Three men and one woman knelt devoutly on the ground.

That woman is Zhao Xiaoru.

Zhao Xiaoru saw me, her eyes filled with surprise and apology: “Xiao Qiao… I’m sorry I scared you. I just wanted to ask you for help. The Grand Master said they were short-handed and needed two female disciples… I thought you and Song Wei were so close, you would come together…”

I stared at her coldly, and until now, there was still no trace of any ghostly aura on her face.

My brother whispered: "A Han Chinese ghost has possessed her, she's lost control of her mind, she must be brainwashed."

The old man, spinning his prayer wheels, had a few streaks of white hair on his head. He must have been bald before, probably the leader of this heretical sect.

He heard my brother's voice, opened a pair of evil eyes, and smiled, revealing a mouthful of black teeth: "Little master, your comprehension is not bad..."

"Flattery will get you everywhere." My brother shot him a withering glance.

The old man chuckled darkly, muttering words I couldn't understand. I only caught one phrase: “Great Compassion Bodhisattva…”

As soon as she said this, Zhao Xiaoru immediately stood up and walked out stiffly.

I heard the sound of someone opening the freezer, followed by a strange squeaking and scraping noise. To my horror, Zhao Xiaoru was actually gnawing on those frozen corpses.

She held her arm, biting and looking at me. Her teeth were gnawing on raw meat, blood dripped from her mouth, and she still had a smile in her eyes.

Are you crazy...

I felt a wave of nausea and had to cover my mouth and dry heave.

The old man opened his mouth full of black teeth, grinned wickedly, and ordered, "Alright, now that we're full, let's begin the 'wheel-chair' game..."

Seatelcome him.After greeting his fellow disciples one by one, his gaze fell upon me."Why are you buttoning your collar so tightly Aren't you hot I've never seen you this formal before." Jun Shixiong frow...
