Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 88 Ghost Head
The moment he held the wooden sign, strands of icy air spread along his palm to Ran Qing's brain.

In the center of the wooden sign, the light red word "Life" inexplicably caught people's attention.

A rare artifact recorded in "Records of Strange Things" emerged in Ran Qing's mind.

"The destiny card?!"

Ran Qing was shocked. How could he have found such a rare thing?
To others, the ruling card is just a rare thing.

But for those who practice ghost walking, this thing is a treasure that can help them make a living!

He was just about to study whether this thing was real or fake when the two candles on the altar in the room suddenly exploded.

A biting cold wind blew in from outside the door.

The thin metal door seemed non-existent in the face of this chilling wind...

The building suddenly became menacing at this moment.

It was like a sleeping evil spirit that was suddenly awakened.

Little Cotton murmured in fear, "It's the ghost head from the dead pit! The ghost head is coming!"

Ghost Head, the most powerful ghost in the pit of the dead.

The ghost platforms that accumulate negative energy will continuously nourish the ghosts in the pit, and the ghost leaders among them will become stronger and stronger.

It is said that some of these terrifying ghost heads are comparable to the ancient evil masters deep in the Wujiang ghost world...

Hearing the noise outside, Ran Qing didn't dare to delay any longer.

He quickly restored the loose tile and carefully put the fortune-telling cards into the canvas bag.

Although the pit of the dead is dangerous, the house where the ghosts are enshrined is safe.

There was a magic trick that prevented the evil spirits wandering in the building from finding this room - this was the reason why Ran Qing was so calm before.

But the ghost head is different. The ghost head can roughly find the location of the ghost platforms.

Ran Qing walked to the door, stuck his head to the peephole, and silently watched the scene in the corridor.

All the lights in the corridor have been turned off, and the gloomy green safety indicator light makes the empty corridor look eerie. The dragging and running sounds that were heard outside just now are now as silent as if they were erased by an eraser.

As the ghost leader woke up, all the little ghosts hid.

The entire corridor was empty and dead silent.

Seeing this scene, Ran Qing took a deep breath and pushed open the iron gate directly.

"...Follow me closely," he whispered to Xiaomianhua, and walked out of 7014 with Xiaomianhua.

The green light sign for the safe passage flickered in the corner of the wall, and each flicker cast a vine-like green shadow on the ground.

Ran Qing's face looked extremely strange under the green light.

The sounds of traffic outside and the faint voices of people talking behind the iron gates that could be heard before all disappeared at this moment.

The whole building was dead silent.

There was a sticky and cold smell in the air, almost the same as when entering the underworld.

This is a unique phenomenon in the pit of the dead. After the ghost head wakes up, a huge amount of negative energy gathers here, forming a special environment similar to the underworld.

Only by leaving this building can we return to the human world...

Little Mianhua followed Ran Qing nervously, muttering, "I'm dying, I'm dying! If Auntie knew you were so reckless, she would crawl out from underground and bite you to death!"

"You dare to steal the things buried by the owner of the Ghost Terrace? Are you crazy?"

Xiaomianhua was as frightened and timid as ever and wanted to persuade Ran Qing to return the things.

Ran Qing glanced at her and said.

"The real offerings of the Ghost Platform are on the altar. This fortune-telling tablet is just a supplement. I guess they won't even turn over the tiles to look at it once a month."

"Even if the ghost worshipper discovered that the fortune-telling tablets had been stolen, they wouldn't be able to find me."

As a ghost walker who goes in and out of the underworld, the thing he fears least is being tracked or cursed.

He had walked back and forth in the underworld so many times that his body was contaminated with the aura of many dead things and evil spirits, and he also had the same origin as the evil master.

Anyone who tries to track him by following his scent will end up like a headless fly, unable to find their way.

Stealing this gloomy wooden sign is a no-cost business for Ran Qing.

And... this is the master card!
Sixth Aunt would be unable to walk when she comes. No one who practices the underworld can resist this. There were no clues related to Li Hongye in 7014. The ghost leader arrived too quickly. But finding the destiny card was a pleasant surprise... Or perhaps Li Hongye had asked him to retrieve the destiny card?
Bringing Xiaomianhua back to the elevator, Ran Qing did not take the elevator, but took Xiaomianhua into the emergency passage.

The moment he entered the emergency passage, blood-red numbers slowly jumped on the elevator display screen behind him.
-
9, -8, -7...

The elevator building only had the first floor at the lowest, but at this moment, something rose from the ground.

Ran Qing began to run quickly, sprinting through the dark stairwell, trying to get further before the elevator arrived.

but……

Ding--

With a crisp sound, the elevator rose faster than expected.

When Ran Qing brought Xiao Mianhua to the fourth floor, the sound of the elevator stopping was heard above their heads.

A cold and foul smell seeped down from above. Ran Qing suddenly grabbed Xiao Mianhua, dragged her close to the wall, held his breath, and dared not move.

The creaking sound of the elevator car door opening to both sides echoed in the darkness, a little harsh.

Then, some heavy, slow footsteps sounded overhead.

Something terrifying walked out of the elevator that stopped on the 7th floor.

Ran Qing's senses were frantically alarming him, and a chilling chill spread throughout his body. The fear of his cold hands and feet almost made him unable to move.

The distance between the three floors was far, but the cold aura of that thing still made Ran Qing tremble.

What the hell is this? Why is it so scary?
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Ran Qing's forehead.

The ghost head awakened much faster than he expected, and its aura was much more terrifying.

The ghost head that Miss Shen encountered that year was already very scary. It was raised in a mass grave.

According to legend, there are only a hundred people buried under the elevator building, and at most no more than a thousand. How many bodies can be buried underground in a mountain valley that has been poor and desolate for thousands of years?
But the speed at which this ghost head crawled out was faster than the ghost head in the mass grave!

This is fucking hell.

The unusual situation made the usually calm Ran Qing feel like swearing.

The footsteps above my head were slowly fading away.

The ghost head could really sense the approximate location of the ghost platforms, and was clearly heading towards 7014.

After hearing the footsteps fade away, Ran Qing dragged Xiao Mianhua down carefully.

He had reached the fourth floor, not far from the first floor.

As long as you run out of this building and return to the human world, no matter how terrifying the ghost head is, it will not be able to catch you out.

To put it bluntly, the things in this kind of pit of the dead are nothing more than road evil spirits, earthbound spirits and the like, which are bound to one area and unable to move.

Just get out of the building and you'll be safe!
Ran Qing slowly moved downstairs. In the cold stairwell, he even tried to slow down his breathing and dared not make any sound, for fear of attracting the terrifying ghost head above his head.

Little Cotton's body is much lighter than his.

The two of them slowly crawled in the darkness and moved silently to the third floor.

The footsteps above my head faded away completely and disappeared in the corridor.

But Ran Qing and Xiaomianhua did not dare to relax. They still moved stiffly and slowly, not daring to make any sound.

Finally, the two arrived at the second floor.

Here, Ran Qing could already vaguely feel the fresh air blowing in from outside.

Escape is right in front of you.

But at this moment, Ran Qing froze.

At the corner of the stairs ahead, a hunched figure was squatting with an expressionless face.

The old man who had taken the elevator with him before was now squatting at the corner of the stairs, looking at him with a sinister look.

The two looked at each other, and the corners of the old man's mouth cracked, revealing his sharp fangs.

Ran Qing's hand instantly reached into the canvas bag.

His eyes were a little shocked.

——Change woman!
There's actually a witch in this pit of the dead?!
