As the sky darkened, she walked alone in the forest, the sounds of insects chirping and leaves rustling in the wind filling her ears. The moon was still hidden in the clouds, but in the dark forest, there was something faintly glowing white on the ground.
That was the scale powder she sprinkled on Luo Yu's body. It was invisible during the day, but it would be particularly conspicuous at night. Although she didn't know where he had gone or what had happened to him, as long as she followed the scale powder, she should be able to find him.
She just hoped that when she found him, he would still be alive.
"Um?"
After walking for a while, she was slightly surprised and felt a gust of night wind blowing. Goose bumps appeared all over her body. She paused for a moment, picked up a branch and lit a fire, using the fire to illuminate the way ahead and to see the surrounding environment more clearly.
Logically speaking, she had been to the Jiufu Forest before, so there shouldn't be any strange things or unknown dangers. But when she followed the scale powder, she found that she was getting further and further inward.
Judging from the amount of scale powder scattered on the ground, Luo Yu should not have fought with anyone, because the amount scattered was very even, as if it had fallen to the ground naturally, without any traces of a fight.
"Come on... Come on..."
Suddenly, a soft and distant voice came into her ears, like a mother's gentle voice, which made her feel relaxed. It also seemed to have the magical power of hypnosis, destroying her will, making her eyes gradually blurred, and her steps moved forward step by step following the voice.
"Come on... Come on..."
It seemed as if there was a breath enveloping her, and in the dimness, she seemed to see a pair of hands waving at her in front of her, and a voice gently called her, asking her to follow her.
Everything around her seemed to become blurry, her mind seemed to be blank, and she stared blankly ahead, with only that voice echoing in her ears, guiding her...
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. She was startled and stopped walking. She came to her senses and saw that her arm was cut by a branch. She could see blood oozing out from the torch in her hand. It was this sharp pain that brought her back to her senses.
Thinking of this, her heart sank and her expression became solemn.
The voice was so strange that she almost fell for it. But what was that? Was it a person? Or... a ghost
She kept her mind focused and looked around vigilantly. Everything was still normal, without any unusual signs. But that voice came from nowhere.
"Come on... Come on..."
This time, she actually saw two ghostly green flames dancing in front of her. The flames came in front of her and rotated. The sound seemed to come from the green flames, and it was blurry and not quite real.
In an instant, her mind was racing. There were no such things when she came here last time, so why did she have them this time? Since this thing had the ability to confuse people, why not take advantage of it and see where this green will-o'-the-wisp could take her
At this moment, she was very sure that Luo Yu’s disappearance was related to the ghost fire and the strange voice.
