Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin

Chapter 118 A demon that is not afraid of death?

The paper pigeon released by Ding Rui was still flapping its wings and flying forward.

But the voice Liu Bai heard came from behind him. What was going on?

There is a ghost... There must be something strange between the two.

"Is your paper pigeon really meant to find ghosts?" Liu Bai asked without thinking too much.

But after he finished shouting, he found that not only Ding Rui, but even Gongsun Shi behind him did not turn around, or even say a word to respond.

"Look, sir! They are disappearing!"

Xiaocao, who was lying behind him, poked his head out again stealthily and shouted.

Liu Bai naturally also saw that Gongsun Shi and Ding Rui, who were walking in front, gradually disappeared as if they had walked into a fog.

But where does the fog around here come from?
Empty.

Liu Bai just watched them disappear and gradually slowed down his pace.

'This is a bit weird.'

Liu Bai had already ignited his life fire at this moment, but still didn't notice anything strange. He hesitated for a moment, and a ray of fire suddenly flew out from his chest.

Like a ball of pure black flame.

The black fire suddenly grew larger when it landed on the ground, but in the blink of an eye, the Heart Fire Ape with black fire rising all over its body and a ferocious face appeared beside him.

Just at this moment, Liu Bai felt that the lotus fragrance lingering around his nose was gone. Not only that, the scene in front of him also passed away quickly like flowing water.

The scene changed drastically. It was no longer a warehouse with a wooden frame bridge, but a vast mudflat.

At this moment, the mud has already reached above his knees.

Not far in front of him, Gongsun Shi had also fallen into the mud. The mud had even reached his thighs, but he was still unaware of it and struggled forward, as if he would not be satisfied until the mud sealed him off.

Seeing this, Liu Bai couldn't help but feel a chill on his back... Is this the horror of the evil spirit outside?
This was the first evil spirit I faced after entering the Blood-Food City, and it already had so many tricks.

Even Gongsun Shi, the young leader of the Short Knife Gang, fell into the trap. Of course, maybe he had other ways to save his life.

Liu Bai looked around and found that the nearest wooden bridge was only a few steps away.

After pulling his legs free a little, he leaped back onto the bridge.

The Heart Fire Ape followed closely, carrying a black fire stick on its shoulder, looking like it wanted to hit anyone it saw.

Just at this moment, the big rooster on Gongsun Shi's shoulder suddenly lowered its head and pecked him on the forehead.

Gongsun Shi seemed to feel pain and woke up immediately.

"Fuck you!"

He shook his head, walked back a few steps, and after pulling out his legs a little, he jumped onto the wooden bridge.

"What a weird ghost, I almost got into trouble."

As he spoke, he turned around, his face, which had been a little angry, suddenly became extremely surprised, "Little brother, you, the Heart Fire Ape..."

"Why is it like this?!"

Obviously, the Heart Fire Ape that Gongsun Shi knew was just like an ordinary ape, and the fire it burned was also of normal color.

It is not like Liu Bai's Heart Fire Ape, which burns out black fire.

“It’s natural.”

Liu Bai didn't explain too much, and Gongsun Shi didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets, and so does Gongsun Shi.

His eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the warehouse in the distance. "When we first arrived here, I smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers. I don't know if you smelled it, kid. It's probably because of the strange smell that we were confused."

"I smelled it. Where is your guard who gathers the five energies?"

Liu Bai didn't see any trace of him ahead.

"Master Ding has many tricks and a lot of experience. He may not have done it right. He has already gone to the warehouse."

After Gongsun Shi finished speaking, several lights suddenly lit up in one of the houses at the end of the wooden bridge.

Then there seemed to be a sound of someone kneeling and kowtowing.

"go!"

Gongsun Shi was also a brave man. Even though he had been tricked, he still rushed forward.

Liu Bai had even less fear.

The Heart Fire Ape followed closely, and in the end, before he even passed, he loosened the restraint on the Heart Fire Ape.

The latter let out a low growl, stomped his broad feet on the wooden bridge a few times, and his figure was already at the door of the house where the accident had just happened.

Then, without any skill at all, he swung the stick up to his eyebrows and smashed it down.

With just a flick, the wooden door shattered, and a shouting voice was heard from inside the house.

"Master, please withdraw your magical powers immediately!"

Ding Rui's voice was heard in the room, and Liu Bai realized that his Heart Fire Ape was fighting with him.

But after releasing the Heart Fire Ape, he felt a sense of relief, and even the violent feeling disappeared.

But now that I’m taking it back…that feeling is right back.

Ding Rui ran out of the house, his head looked like it was burnt. He patted his hair, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Liu Bai.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He turned to look at Gongsun Shi, looked him up and down, and said:
"I just saw you all come with me. The evil spirits in this place are... very strange. I guess there is more than one."

"More than one? Did you fight with the shoe?"

While Gongsun Shi was talking, Liu Bai also saw that there were two small shoe prints on Ding Rui's chest, and there was water on them.

"Yeah, he just sneak attacked me once."

Ding Rui's eyes darkened. "It's a monster-level evil spirit. It's very difficult to deal with. It runs very fast and is hard to deal with."

Liu Bai felt relieved after hearing this.

It's just a weird thing, that's fine.

"Where are Hu Wei and the others? Have you seen them?"

"Not yet. I just entered this room. Let me look for it first." Ding Rui said, and took out a paper pigeon from his chest.

This scene almost made Liu Bai wonder if he was bewitched by the fragrance of lotus again.

But... Liu Bai didn't plan to search slowly with them. Hu Wei didn't know whether he was dead or alive yet, so he had to get him out first, and then he could deal with this weird thing.

But this warehouse is so big that I don’t know how long it will take to find it if I look for it myself.

It would be better to scare the evil spirit away first, and then look for it slowly by yourself later.

So when he saw Gongsun Shi and the other man following the paper pigeon and leaving, he quietly returned to the room that Ding Rui had entered earlier.

The moment he entered, he had already completed the transformation from human to ghost.

Then, a unique aura belonging to a ghost spread in the warehouse by the river.

Ding Rui, who had only walked a few steps ahead, felt this breath. His feet subconsciously softened and he turned around in disbelief.

"Ghost...ghost?"

Gongsun Shi was also frightened and his face turned pale. The ghost... that was an existence that even those who had raised the Yin spirit were unwilling to face alone.

Now it appears here?

And...where's the damn kid following behind me?

While they were surprised, they also discovered that the evil aura was rapidly escaping and soon disappeared on the opposite side of the Shenqian River.

This ghostly shadow just seemed to be passing by.

But they still didn't move. When facing evil ghosts, they could never be too careful.

Just as they were waiting, they saw another warehouse being opened in front of them.

And it was kicked open from the inside.

When Ding Rui stood up, four rays of light rose from his body before they hit the ground.

He saw that the person who came out of the warehouse was...

"Little brother!" Gongsun Shi shouted immediately.

Immediately afterwards, two shivering and shaking figures appeared behind Liu Bai.

One is Hu Wei, and the other one... Liu Bai doesn't know him either, but he knows he is in the same group with Hu Wei.

As soon as he revealed his ghost form, he used his ghost shadow to search around and naturally saw the pair of embroidered shoes jump into the Shenqian River.

Similarly, Hu Wei's figure also appeared.

At this moment, Gongsun Shi and Ding Rui took a few steps forward. Before they got close, they had already smelled the strong smell of urine on Hu Wei.

Of course he wasn't scared. Hu Wei had never slept with a woman before, and the smell of urine on his body...was somewhat useful in dealing with evil spirits.

Even so, he was still quite frightened.

"Young Master, you two can take them back first. I will deal with this weirdo here and then leave."

Ding Rui was slightly relieved to see that at least two people survived.

Especially Hu Wei, he is the senior brother of Mr. Liu in front of him.

"it is good."

Gongsun Shi is not a pedantic person, he would not say that he would stay here and fight to the death with that evil spirit.

He is just a spirit burner, and he has just tried it. This is very strange, and there is more than one.

Now that Hu Wei has been rescued, it would be better for him to run away.

"I'll stay and try."

However, Liu Bai refused. After gathering the five energies, he had never made a move. Now that he had met a suitable evil spirit, he naturally felt itchy to take action.

Besides, we are here to gain experience. What’s the point if we always stay behind?
"it is good."

Ding Rui agreed immediately. After all, he had no choice but to agree.

Is it possible to make the owner of the red-light district get kicked out?
Although Hu Wei was terribly frightened, he still reminded him, "Junior Brother Liu, be careful, this place is very evil."

"Okay, I will."

Soon Hu Wei followed Gongsun Shi and left. He and the other gang member supported each other.

After seeing them leave, Ding Rui turned around and looked down at the child who was only three or four years old, and asked, "Master Gangfangzu didn't feel the presence of the ghost?"

Liu Bai recalled the appearance of his ghost body, then nodded and said, "I feel it."

"Then you're not afraid?"

Ding Rui originally wanted to say that since the ghost had already appeared, it was unknown when it would come back again.

If I stay here now, wouldn't that be courting death?

But I only dare to think about it, but not say it out loud.

"I'm scared." Liu Bai blurted out, "But what's the use of being scared?"

After all, no matter how scared I am, this ghost is still me.

But Ding Rui didn't think that was what he meant. He was shocked and looked at Liu Bai with cautious eyes again.

This is easy to say, but hard to do, especially when it comes from a child...

Ding Rui sneered and said, "Master Fangzhu, do you mean to go together or separately?"

"Let's go our separate ways."

Liu Bai was not afraid of the monster. If he really wanted to fight, it would be better for him to do it alone.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

After saying that, he looked forward, which was the direction where Hu Wei and the others had just come out, and said, "Then I'll go this way."

Liu Bai stopped where he was, just watching his back as he left, then turned around and went to... the river.

Just now he saw with his own eyes the pair of embroidered shoes jumping into the river from that position.

But now, before he could get close, he heard the sound of water again.

It seems like something... has come ashore.

This made Liu Bai wonder, is this evil spirit really not afraid of death? It is very different from other evil spirits.

Or is there something in this warehouse that is attracting it?
