At midnight in winter, the temperature is very low.
It's about below freezing.
The wind was blowing in the forest, making a whining sound.
In the distance, the owl whined intermittently.
The rot beneath your feet rustled under your feet.
The kitten in his arms curled up very docilely in his owner's hands.
Every tree seems to be a little crooked
The branches stretch out in disorder, and the withered yellow leaves are still stubbornly clinging to the branches of the crown.
The pale moonlight fell, and the shadows were blurry, giving it an atmosphere like the beginning of a horror movie.
But Lingpingan felt very comfortable.
Countless thoughts in his heart came and went as he moved forward.
A little bit of fluorescence appeared next to me.
Lingpingan looked at it: "Fireflies!"
only…
Where did the fireflies come from in this winter
He blinked his eyes, and his childlike innocence grew. He turned his head and gently caught a small firefly that flew beside him.
"Little bug..." He smiled: "It's such a cold day, if you don't stay in your own nest, what are you doing here?"
The little firefly in his hand was trembling.
He seemed very scared.
Lingpingan laughed and didn't embarrass the little guy. He gently let the little guy fly away from his palm.
"Go! Go!" He said with loving eyes: "Little guy, go back to your mother!"
…
Another perspective.
five minutes ago.
Zhuang Qiu woke up from the mud at midnight as usual.
The cold spiritual energy slowly nourished her soul.
"Aqiu!" The major's voice came from the soul: "A stranger is coming!"
"Be prepared for eviction!"
So, she slowly flew out of the ground.
The disembodied body rose slowly under the moonlight.
Like a flame drifting in the wind.
Gloomy green.
Beside him, familiar flames flew one after another.
In the green flames, some figures in military uniforms could be faintly seen.
That's a black military uniform!
Army uniform from a hundred years ago.
Look clean, nice and tidy.
It seems like they take care of it carefully every day.
"There is a stranger crossing the river..."
"Drive him away!"
In the soul body, the major's voice came.
"Yes!" Zhuang Qiu and her colleagues used their souls to make a sound.
The same sound as a hundred years ago.
Be firm and without delay.
This is their defense zone!
It is true during life, and it is true after death!
As a result, more than a dozen will-o'-wisps floated slowly towards the river beach.
They have done similar evictions countless times over the past hundred years.
This is the world of the dead, the prison of the dead.
Keep away strangers!
Because even just entering and contacting it may have a terrible and irreparable impact on strangers.
It ranges from being riddled with a variety of illnesses to being infected with all kinds of nasty diseases and dying on the bed.
only…
In his heart, Zhuang Qiu was somewhat complaining.
"People these days... are so busy..."
"Besides, my courage is getting bigger and bigger!"
She thought of the so-called anchors who took rafts and rowed across the Wuding River not long ago.
Really seeking death!
In order to attract attention, you can even risk your life!
In the end, she and her colleagues had to waste a little of their soul power, manifesting the form of ghosts and frightening those guys into fainting, so that they finally did not let them cross the defense zone and penetrate into the core of the cross slope.
Complaining in his heart, Zhuang Qiu also saw the intruder.
A young man.
Under the moonlight, the appearance is not visible.
There seemed to be a mist surrounding him.
"Extraordinary?" Zhuang Qiu thought.
"Didn't his elders teach him?"
"The cross slope is a very dangerous place for extraordinary people!?"
The cross slope is just a little scary to ordinary people.
It's amazing, even if you are infected with some evil spirits or contaminated, as long as you receive timely treatment, you can still turn the corner into safety.
But for extraordinary people, this place is taboo!
The world of the dead is filled with spiritual power, which is an absolute poison to the living.
Just a little bit, and you may be in danger!
Yin and Yang restrain each other, which is the ultimate principle!
Unless you are protected by the treasure of pure Yang, or your own Qi and blood have been perfected, and the sky is clean.
To avoid the pollution here.
"Scare him!" Zhuang Qiu thought: "I hope he can understand..."
So, she and her comrades flew towards the young man holding the cat and walking through the woods on rot.
As they fly.
Spiritual power was released from outside the soul, and the extremely cold spiritual power stirred up gusts of evil wind.
Evil Wind whimpered, simulating the background sounds of several well-known horror movies on the market today.
Sad, bleak, and sinister.
Their souls cooperate with each other.
Using the natural talents of ghosts, we can create various atmospheres that are scary, strange, and cold to strangers.
This is their tried and tested method of eviction.
It is also the method that causes the least harm to strangers.
Those who were evicted were at best frightened.
but…
Unexpectedly.
Zhuang Qiu and her colleagues found that the man seemed not to be affected at all.
The cold wind blew past like a gentle breeze.
The shrill howl fell on deaf ears.
But those scary, evil, cold, psychological projections seemed to have no effect on him at all.
"What's going on?" Zhuang Qiu became confused.
She had no choice but to implement the second plan.
"Lean closer and reveal your true body!" Zhuang Qiu's soul screamed.
This scream can be heard even in the material world.
However, the voice was shrill and sharp.
Like the legendary female ghost who returns from hell and is about to kill her enemies!
Her colleagues immediately responded: "Okay!"
More than a dozen ghosts screamed in unison.
They have been cooperating for nearly a hundred years.
Therefore, he immediately activated his already proficient technique.
A technique that only ghosts can use.
Ghost hits the wall!
Let strangers fall into the mystery and obstacles arranged by ghosts, lose their way and fall into hallucinations.
At the same time, they reveal themselves.
It turned into a physical monster that seemed invisible, but actually had an outline, a green face, fangs, and a strong sense of death and resentment.
Just like the most common life-threatening ghost in horror movies.
It appears with terrifying, deep sound effects.
A normal person may be stunned by the simultaneous visual and psychological impact just by looking at it.
Even extraordinary beings will fall into fear when they suddenly witness the entity of a ghost, and will eventually be hypnotized under the influence of magic.
This is a trick that has been tried countless times and works well every time.
For hundreds of years, they have relied on these methods to firmly guard this section of the river.
Neither the things inside are allowed to escape, nor the outsiders allowed to come in casually.
but…
This time…
They miscalculated!
The young man walking in the forest turned a deaf ear to everything they had created, as if he had not seen it at all, let alone knew it!
No!
Zhuang Qiu soon found out.
It's not that he didn't see it, nor did he know it.
But...
He despised it all!
Just like an elephant scorning everything that is an ant beneath its feet.
because…
Ants that can be crushed to death with one kick are simply not worth the elephant's troubles.
So, he even smiled.
Zhuang Qiu could see the corners of his mouth suddenly curved.
The smile was filled with contempt.
At this moment, Zhuang Qiu felt boundless pressure, rolling in from all directions.
All the spiritual energy around him was drained away by something in an instant.
At this moment, she felt like a helpless little fish thrown onto the shore.
Without water, she didn't even have the strength to struggle.
In an instant, he will be suffocated!
And the man had extended his hand.
Zhuang Qiu's three souls and six souls were all frightened!
"Oops..." She fell into the man's hand helplessly.
It was a seemingly weak, powerless hand.
The surface skin of the palm is white and smooth.
However, Zhuang Qiu, who fell into this palm, felt that he had fallen into a completely new world, as if he had entered another world.
In my ears, a voice lingered softly.
"small bug… "
Zhuang Qiu raised his head and saw the man's face.
Clean, fair-skinned, and unremarkable, he is the kind of person who would never pay attention or notice if he saw it on the street.
But at this moment, this face, which was originally ordinary, without features or memories, became extremely majestic and tall.
It's like a fairy god standing upright against the sky and covering the sun and the moon.
Those huge pupils are like stars, huge, dazzling and dazzling.
Looking at those pupils, they were as huge as stars.
Zhuang Qiu understood that he was right.
He is really just a bug.
"It's such a cold day. If you don't stay in your home, what are you doing here?"
The rumbling roar echoed in my ears.
Like thunder.
Then, Zhuang Qiu felt like he was free again!
She was released.
The man gently let go of his hand, like a loving parent watching a naughty child.
"Go! Go!" He chuckled, his voice easy-going, but with a majesty that could not be refused, so that Zhuang Qiu did not dare to disobey.
"Little guy... go back to your mother!"
As Zhuang Qiu listened, she felt that her soul seemed to solidify.
even…
"I... maybe I can appear during the day..." She clearly felt the full power in her soul.
She has been practicing hard for hundreds of years, but she has not been able to solidify her soul body.
But at this moment, there was a turning point.
And this turning point was just held in the hand of this person and observed
who is he
Zhuang Qiu was confused.
At this time, her colleagues gathered around.
"Zhuang Qiu..." The concerned voice of a colleague came from the soul body: "How are you?"
"I'm fine..." Zhuang Qiu flew a little further away in surprise.
She stared at the man from afar.
The man also raised his head and looked at Zhuang Qiu.
He smiled like a loving father.
The faint mist around him disappeared in a flash.
But at this moment, Zhuang Qiu saw the figure of a feathered man holding a halberd with wings on his back in the mist. Behind the figure, there was a huge single horn, shadowy.
For some reason, Zhuang Qiu just wanted to worship.
It was as if the unicorn in the mist was her king.
"Major!" Zhuang Qiu calmed down and used his soul to contact his superior: "We may have encountered... debt collectors..."
"Huh?" In the soul body, the major asked a question.
