Chapter 91 - When did you die?

    Listen to the ghostly cries, do not see the ghost's smile...

    Ghosts may laugh in two ways: either they trick humans, or they genuinely enjoy the misfortune of others!

    And the ghosts are not so smart; they don't know where we are going now.

    Why would they take delight in others' misfortunes?

    There is only one Han Qiu in my surroundings!

    By some inexplicable twist of fate, I glanced at Han Qiu out of the corner of my eye.

    Just then, I saw something shadowy move in the dark, empty cavity of his ear!

    Instantaneously, a chill ran down my spine, and my back was soaked.

    "Tang, what's wrong?" Han Qiu turned his head and asked me puzzled.

    "Nothing... There's something off about the ghosts around here," I said in a hoarse voice, trying to change the subject.

    Han Qiu suspiciously scanned the area, his expression faintly cold.

    After that, he told me in a deep voice not to care about these ghosts.

    Whether it's the ghosts speaking or any other actions, their purpose is one: they want to deceive people.

    Especially the ghosts in Qi Village, they are more aggressive than the ghosts outside, always thinking of eating each other.

    After saying that, Han Qiu asked me if I was going in the right direction. He also urged me to walk faster and not to wake up the Karmic Ghost.

    I took a deep breath and quickened my pace even more.

    What made my heart skip a beat was that, as I swept my glance around, all the ghosts who were secretly watching and laughing at us disappeared without a trace...

    Can Han Qiu really have such a deterrent power in this safe area?

    I still feel something's off...

    However, in recent days, I have been noticing too many strange things, and it has even made me feel a sense of self-doubt. Am I being too sensitive, and have I become somewhat mentally weak?

    I tried to adjust my mindset and dispel that feeling of self-doubt.

    Zhao Ni was the same. In fact, I had already sensed something was off, but it was because I wasn't decisive enough that problems arose!

    If I had discovered "Zhao Kang" at that time, then Xiao Ying would not be in such a situation now!

    But this situation just made my heart sink even more.

    I don't doubt myself, so the suspicion must fall on Han Qiu!

    "Not yet out... Only a little bit left..." While walking, Han Qiu muttered low.

    The moonlight shone on his face, clean and smooth without a beard, his white Daoist robe even more immaculate...

    Clean...

    Suddenly, another thin layer of goosebumps appeared on my body!

    "Master Han, how long have you been in here?" I lowered my voice and suddenly asked Han Qiu a question.

    At the same time, I lowered my gaze, glancing at the legs of my pants.

    Qi Village is an old village built decades ago. The ground is made of stone and clay, and even without rain, dust is abundant.

    It hasn't been long, and my pants are already very dirty.

    Han Qiu's clothes are so clean... too clean to be normal!

    "Mm, it's been a lot of days, but I'm not exactly sure how many. I've forgotten," Han Qiu replied in a low voice.

    "So, when did you die? Do you remember?!" I suddenly said another sentence coldly.

    "When did I die? It seems like..."

    Han Qiu showed a look of struggling to think.

    I was horrified in my heart, and my face suddenly changed color!

    Han Qiu was suddenly startled, and when he looked up again, his eyes were extremely shocked, followed by a coldness and silence.

    From his pupils, I saw a blood red!

    Only the living have sufficiently agile minds.

    The thoughts of the dead are straightforward, whether it's a zombie or a corpse. Except for their obsession, they are all straightforward minds.

    For instance, Lao Gong's nonsensical talk, this is also a form of his direct thinking! He doesn't know how to adapt!

    If he had just been a bit flexible, he wouldn't have tricked me.

    That would be good for him, and it would also be very beneficial to me.

    But Lao Gong still didn't go against his instincts!

    Just like Han Qiu, when I asked him when he died, he couldn't remember either!

    It's very difficult for people to remember their time of death!

    This thought didn't affect my actions.

    I stood as if facing a formidable enemy, fixated on Han Qiu, and took several steps back.

    I didn't continue moving forward!

    Moving forward can indeed take me out of the ghost wall!

    But Han Qiu is not a living person!

    Who knows what he will do when he goes outside!?

    That's why those ghosts are happy to see others suffer and they haven't come out!

    Han Qiu is a more malevolent presence, and they naturally dare not provoke him. As for me, dealing with the dead without realizing it, they naturally find it amusing to laugh about!

    Han Qiu is staring at me intently, and the blood red in his eyes is even more prominent.

    This makes me even more chilled.

    A blood-thirsty ghost is already fierce, let alone a Taoist like this. How fierce can he be?

    No... He doesn't seem to be a fierce ghost!

    The white lotus moonlight shines down, and the moon that resembles an eye is staring even larger!

    Han Qiu's face began to sprout a fine covering of blood-colored hair, and his Taoist robe was splattered with blood. On his chest, there was an even worse, torn wound, as if his heart had been pierced.

    My scalp is even more numb.

    This scene suddenly overlaps with the one I previously perceived!

    A wave of fear washed over me.

    I was stunned beyond words.

    I was utterly shocked. I had clearly seen... yet it just happened to coincide with the perception, which made me overlook this...

    "Tang,..." Han Qiu's mouth slightly opened, his voice echoing, yet still conveying emotion.

    "We need to go out. He is about to wake up. He won't do anything to me, but he will eat your heart!"

    This emotion carried a sense of fear and urgency.

    My scalp is even more numb.

    Karmic Ghost?

    But a karmic ghost is supposed to kill only those who have committed heinous crimes!

    A Taoist can also be wicked!?

    I also recognized what Han Qiu is now!

    It's a zombie!

    Undead who haven't decomposed, and zombie who pretend to be living!

    That's why he is still trapped in the ghost wall. It's because he died within the ghost wall!

    He was eaten by the karmic ghost, which is why he couldn't get out!

    Otherwise, as a fierce zombie, he would definitely be able to leave this area!

    Thoughts instantly spread out, and I don't understand why Han Qiu still wants to leave here, what's the point!?

    To get out of the ghost wall and then leave Qi Village.

    An undead fierce one, but it will be suppressed by the Taoist!

    Thoughts were turning faster, and my gaze swept left and right. At this moment, nothing came out, and there was no sign of anything approaching me!

    I stared at Han Qiu coldly, my left hand suddenly pulling out three talismans!

    No matter what Han Qiu thinks of going out, it's none of my business!

    I am not going to walk with a fierce undead!

    Who knows if he's lying to me, and who can tell if he might stab my heart from behind!?

    My elbow suddenly snapped, and I bit my tongue so hard that blood spurted out!

    The three talismans stained with blood shot towards Han Qiu at a speed of light!

    After a moment's hesitation, I released the connection between my right index finger and the urinal.

    Like Lao Gong's indistinct sense, it disappeared immediately!

    Following that, my hands shook again, and a few peachwood nails slipped out of my sleeves and were clamped between my fingers!

    In a flash, the talismans were in front of Han Qiu.

    Han Qiu suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbing the three talismans!

    Crackling, mist started to grow.

    The talismans turned black and curled up, and Han Qiu took steps towards me, rushing!

    His eyes were even more fierce, his voice pressed even lower, and his urgency grew!

    "Hurry up and go!"

    I kept silent, exerting all my strength in my legs, and suddenly jumped forward, aiming to land on Han Qiu's shoulders!

    But Han Qiu didn't charge at me anymore. Instead, he changed direction and charged towards the path we came!

    With a thud, I landed on the ground.

    Suddenly turning my head, I saw that Han Qiu had already run much further away!

    But for a moment, I felt even more bone-chilling.

    Because even further away, there was a person standing there!

    I can definitely say that, right before I acted, I didn't see him at all!

    At that moment, Han Qiu was rushing towards him!

    "Go!" The fierce roar served as a response.

    It seems that the person's appearance caused Han Qiu to not suppress his tone!

    My scalp was exploding, and I was sweating profusely in white!

    In an instant, Han Qiu rushed to his side.

    In the next second, Han Qiu stood straight and fell to the ground!

    The man slowly took steps towards me.
