"Branches?" Li Daoxuan chuckled, looked at Qing Tanzi's soul still standing on the ground, turned his head and said, "Let us handle the follow-up work."
Jiang Yu nodded to show his agreement.
Since the ancestor had spoken, Chen Ling did not raise any objection, but simply asked: "With the death of Qing Tanzi, the control over the evil spirits will also end. I'm afraid those things will go even more crazy than before. What was the situation in the valley before you came up? Were you fully prepared?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned. The narrator Li Hongyu's face also turned worse. "When Junior Master and the others came up, the area below was basically under control. It's just that..."
Screams came from the foot of the mountain from a long distance.
Li Daoxuan didn't say anything and led his men to rush down.
In the valley, the evil spirits that had been under control went out of control immediately because they lost Qing Tanzi's restraint. They became more than twice as ferocious as before. Some of them ran to the new village behind a few mountains, and the rest slaughtered people in the guild hall.
There are eight people hiding in the Zhenxiu Building, they are the remaining personnel from each department, and Jin Yu is the only non-staff member.
Hearing the sudden crash outside, the kitchen boy couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on? Wasn't it quiet just now?"
The one from the security department said, "Why don't I go out and take a look."
The people present were a little scared. Although they had been hiding in the kitchen, they could hear all the sounds of fighting outside. Those terrible screams and piercing roars sounded like those made by normal people.
When they heard that someone wanted to go out to check the situation, only a fool would refuse. They all nodded and said yes, and also reminded the security guard to pay more attention to safety.
Seeing their attitude, the security guard didn't want to go out again. If anything happened, wouldn't he become a shield
"Come one of you and come with me."
The people squatting on the ground looked at each other, and no one was willing to move.
The security guard sneered: "You are all afraid of death, right? I am afraid too, so just stay here and don't go out."
"I'll go with you." Jin Yu stood up, tightly holding the talisman paper Wu Weiwei gave her before leaving.
An old lady nearby pulled her hand and said, "What are you doing out there as a little girl? You won't be able to do anything."
The housekeeping department sneered: "Then you go."
The aunt immediately let go of Jin Yu's hand and pushed him forward.
Jin Yu almost stumbled and fell out. She frowned, stood up straight and looked at the security guard: "Let's go."
The security guard glanced at those people, spat, and cursed: "They are all cowards."
The Zhenxiu Building is located at the innermost part of the entire guild hall. The main building and two subsidiary buildings in front cover it tightly, forming a natural barrier to protect it firmly.
Jin Yu walked behind the security guard. She was the only one among the hiding people who had seen such a big scene of evil spirits coming out. Compared with the security guard, she was more cautious. She looked left and right with every step, for fear that something would suddenly rush out.
But all the way from the kitchen on the first floor to the lobby of the Zhenxiu Building, I saw nothing.
It seemed as if the loud noise just now was just their hallucination.
The security guard seemed to be relieved, and stood up with his hands on his hips: "It was a false alarm, let's go back."
As soon as the voice fell, a shrill cry came from the front, and a man in a black suit ran in, holding his shoulder. The two found that the clothes on one arm of the man in the suit had been stained with blood, and blood kept dripping from his fingers to the ground.
Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked forward, but the other party suddenly looked up and shouted at her: "Go!"
The moment she heard it clearly, she turned around quickly and found that the person who was supposed to be hiding in the kitchen had also run out.
They looked terrified, and their steps were too hurried and unstable.
The security guard secretly counted them and wondered, "Why is there one missing?"
Jin Yu also counted, "There are only five people."
The man in the black suit was already running closer, and seeing the two men standing there motionless, he reached out and pushed them, “Don’t fucking stand there, run!” But as soon as he finished speaking, he reached out again and pulled the two men back.
Behind those people who came back one after another, there was a fierce ghost with burnt flesh all over its body. The ghost had its mouth open and stretched out its hands with long nails, obviously wanting to catch people.
The man in black suit was injured and exhausted, so he had no ability to fight again.
But now he is being pursued from all sides. If he doesn't fight, eight people including him will all die here!
Jin Yu knew that he was from the Special Investigation Department. After thinking for a while, he gave him a piece of the talisman paper Wu Weiwei gave him and said, "Take it."
The man in the black suit thanked him, pressed the wound on his shoulder, turned his head and looked behind him. The ghost that had been chasing him was also chasing him. Compared with the other one, this one was obviously more violent, with a bright red body. She grinned, her tongue stretched out infinitely, and flew towards him with the momentum of breaking bamboo.
Jin Yu's heart was pounding with fear, and she screamed, "Be careful!"
The man in the black suit grabbed the security guard who was next to him and dodged together, then fell heavily to the ground. He took a deep breath and got up, then pulled out the peach wood sword from his suit and rushed forward.
Without one of the main fighters, who would deal with the other ghost? Everyone panicked and pushed each other back.
The male ghost had just eaten a person, and his tongue and teeth were covered in blood. He had difficulty moving, with one foot dragging behind him. He seemed to be walking with difficulty, but he was actually very fast.
But in the blink of an eye, he was close to everyone, his breath was fishy, and his tongue tip just licked the face of the kitchen aunt.
The aunt screamed, rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
The male ghost smiled greedily, and his nails easily pierced the throbbing artery on the side of the old lady's neck. Looking at the gushing blood, he licked his tongue and moved closer, like a starving prisoner, eagerly and violently tearing open the fat neck completely.
"Ah—" Someone in the crowd screamed in despair.
The man next to her slapped her in the face immediately: "What the hell are you yelling about!" He looked at Jin Yu and smiled ingratiatingly, "I see you have another talisman, take it out and let's use it together. Anyway, we are all in the same boat now, so only by uniting as one can we overcome the difficulties together."
Jin Yu ignored her. She knew that once the talisman was taken out, this person would definitely snatch it away immediately and would not care about the lives of the remaining people.
"That man is beyond saving. We might as well run away now." Jin Yu was still calm. She turned her eyes away from the aunt in the kitchen and ran away.
Who knew that as soon as I took the first step, my hair would be pulled.
The tearing pain on her scalp dragged her back. The man who had just spoken to her ignored the difference between men and women and reached out to touch Jin Yu.
Finally, the talisman paper was taken out from Jin Yu's jeans pocket, and the others immediately rushed over to grab it.
Jin Yu did not stay for long. She called the security guard and rushed back to the kitchen, where she found the lost kitchen knife that had been used to slaughter livestock.
He held it tightly in his hand and looked towards the kitchen door warily.
Soon, the security guard also ran in, grabbed Jin Yu and dragged him out: "What are you doing hiding here, waiting to die?"
"Things are definitely out of control outside." Jin Yu stared at the ground and analyzed quickly, "Before I came to the Treasure House, I saw a lot of ghosts, so many... The previous ghost screams were clearly over, so it stands to reason that no one should have slipped through the net, but why did two of them run over to our side?"
The security guard doesn't care about so many things. He just knows to run away when he encounters danger.
"Then what's the point of you sitting here!" He cursed impatiently and pulled Jin Yu up from the ground. "Why don't we take advantage of the time when those two evil ghosts can't take care of us and run away!"
"No! If the situation outside really gets out of control, we won't be able to escape!" Jin Yu tightened the kitchen knife in his hand and forced himself to calm down.
When the illusion ended, Wu Weiwei said that this knife for slaughtering livestock did have a certain deterrent effect on ghosts.
It didn’t matter if the talisman paper was stolen. As long as she had the knife in her hand, she was not afraid of anything.
Yes, Wu Weiwei also said that if that doesn't work, just bite the tip of your tongue and let out blood. The blood on the tip of your tongue is full of Yang Qi, and evil spirits are afraid of it.
Seeing that persuasion failed, the security guard cried out, turned around and was about to leave, no matter how Jin Yu called out, he could not stop.
As a result, as soon as he opened the two aluminum doors a crack, he was frozen in place.
Jin Yu had a bad feeling and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"
The security guard looked back at her stiffly and said "Run" silently. Suddenly, a red blood line appeared on his face, running diagonally across his temple. Blood gushed out from the line and soaked his entire face.
Jin Yu shouted, and after a brief moment of fear, he rushed forward.
Through the security guard's body, she saw the male ghost who had drunk blood and eaten flesh standing outside.
The male ghost tore the security guard's body into two halves in one go, threw it aside, and walked in dragging the broken leg.
Jin Yu had already run to the window. Outside the window was a field of jagged rocks, sharp enough to easily cut a living person's flesh. She gritted her teeth, stepped onto the window frame and jumped down.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough that only my knee hit the stone.
She endured the pain and stood up, only to find that the male ghost was standing in front of her without her noticing. The sudden fright made her mind go blank.
The male ghost showed his bloody white teeth viciously, leaned down, and scraped Jin Yu's cheeks, neck, collarbone, and chest with his nails. He opened his mouth and grasped the slender neck below with his fingers.
Just as he tried to take a bite, a kitchen knife flew out and hit his neck.
The evil energy on the kitchen knife was like fire, burning wherever it touched.
The male ghost stepped back in pain. He pulled out the kitchen knife, covered his burned neck, and when he looked up again, Jin Yu was gone.
The guild hall was covered in blood, black and red mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
Jin Yu walked along the wall all the way, she was extremely scared, but her mind was clearer than ever. She knew that she had to find Chen Ling, because only he could save her.
But with everything going on in this chaos, where should she go to find it
And running around is more dangerous than hiding in a corner.
As she was weighing the pros and cons, she was suddenly startled, as if she had discovered something incredible. She felt surprised, happy, and unspeakable horror.
The ghost being besieged by three members of the Special Investigation Department was her brother.
Although his face was covered with hideous wounds and his hands and feet were torn apart, she would not make a mistake; that was her brother!
