The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 50 Death of He Mei
The little ghost said cautiously: "Mommy used to be a strong woman, very talented in business."

"It's just that Mommy also has enemies in Nanyang. Mommy is too obsessed with power, which makes her too impatient, so she acts a little... irrationally."

"Many of us brothers and sisters advised Mommy not to do that, but Mommy didn't listen to us. Otherwise, Mommy wouldn't be like this."

Li Zhen looked at the little ghost and suddenly said, "Isn't it persuasion, not bewitching?"

The little ghost was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Mommy's thoughts are our thoughts. How could we possibly bewitch Mommy? Besides, Mommy is a sorcerer. We have no power to bewitch Mommy at all!"

Li Zhen looked at the little ghost without saying anything.

The little ghost licked his lips and forced a pitiful expression on his face, just like a human child. "We didn't bewitch Mommy. At most, we gave Mommy some ideas. Really, we just told her what we thought."

Li Zhen said with a half-smile, "Can you give me some advice?"

The little ghost said as if to take credit: "We rely on Mommy's blood to survive. Mommy's thoughts are our thoughts. We know Mommy best. As long as Mommy wants to do something, we can think of various ways to help her."

Li Zhen asked, "How many little ghosts does He Mei have?"

The little ghost answered honestly, "There were eighteen of us... Naimi captured one... Now, including me, there are sixteen left."

Li Zhen nodded, then suddenly said, "Was it your idea to let He Mei kill me?"

The little ghost's expression froze: "This is what Mommy wanted to do. We are just trying to help Mommy achieve her goal..."

Li Zhen's palm leaf whip suddenly lashed out.

The little ghost was immediately beaten and screamed like a ghost.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me. It has nothing to do with us... Don't hit me. I know a lot of things! I know Mommy's secrets! I can help you..."

Li Zhen, with an indifferent expression, ignored the little ghost's words.

What this guy said was not entirely true. He thought he had hidden his malice very deeply, but he didn't know that Li Zhen and the red-eyed bats were most sensitive to this kind of emotion.

After more than ten whips, the little ghost was beaten to death, and his body became completely illusory.

"I'm very useful..."

"There are more than ten people like you. What are you doing here?"

The palm leaf whip squirmed like a tree root and pierced into the little ghost's body.

With a weak scream, the little ghost completely disappeared.

Scenes flashed through Li Zhen's mind. Most of them were fragmented memories, and only a few were continuous memories, but Li Zhen was able to obtain a lot of information from them.

After a moment, Li Zhen opened his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows to ease the impact of those resentful memories.

What the kid said was not only untrue, it was a complete nonsense.

The little ghost was originally refined from a corpse. During the refining process, the heart needed to be removed and placed in a jar to be nourished with blood. It was inherently filled with resentment and malice.

The orthodox Taoist sect considers raising little ghosts to be an evil practice. Not only because this practice is inhumane, but also because the resentment and negative energy of the little ghosts can have a great impact on the character and lifespan of living people.

If one or two are raised, the sorcerer can suppress the resentment and malice of the little ghosts by paying attention, and prevent the little ghosts from overly influencing his thinking.

But He Mei raised a dozen or so little ghosts by herself.

Who knows how much malice and resentment is hidden behind the seemingly intimate "Mommy".

These malice and resentment usually have no specific direction, they are just pure malice and resentment. Ordinary people may be unlucky for a while if they come into contact with them.

He Mei has been affected by resentment for a long time, and even if her personality has been subtly influenced, she herself finds it difficult to realize it.

Over the years, it is natural that the mind is blinded and gradually becomes a puppet driven by a little devil who intends to retaliate and has evil intentions.

If Li Zhen hadn't appeared, those little devils might have succeeded and eventually eaten up the fallen He Mei without leaving anything behind.

Killing someone who shouldn't be killed is a sign of depravity.

Li Zhen thought that he was the person who should not be killed.

"Evil sorcerers... they all deserve to die!" He Mei gritted her teeth and looked at Li Zhen with a pained expression, "Every one of them deserves to die!"

Li Zhen, who originally had no good feelings towards He Mei, felt a little sorry for her. He walked up to He Mei and looked into her eyes: "Your idea is too extreme. How can a sorcerer like me who doesn't harm anyone be considered an evil sorcerer?"

He Mei snorted weakly.

Li Zhen shook his head: "There are so many choices, but you chose the worst one. If you only wanted to kill Naimi, maybe I would help you."

"Have you ever thought that you made such a foolish choice because your mind was blinded?"

He Mei was stunned, and a hint of struggle appeared in her expression.

Looking at the increasingly distorted face, Li Zhen said, "Do you have a mirror? Look at your face now. You might find it unfamiliar."

The red-eyed bat lying on Li Zhen's shoulder raised its head and looked at He Mei with red eyes.

He Mei's expression immediately became confused.

She crawled straight towards a rock next to her.

With a dull thud, her head hit the stone hard.

The stone was instantly dyed red with blood.

Li Zhen turned around and walked back the way he came.

The red-eyed bat squeaked.

"Go see Naimi first, and then come back to deal with her body. I'll let you suck her blood, and you can eat it even if it solidifies..."

The thumping noises in the dark grove grew fainter.

Li Zhen, a wild sorcerer, patted the red-eyed bat's head and sighed, "Sorcery... it's really cruel."

How can such a bloody and cruel evil magic as black magic be associated with "righteousness"?
Whether it was Naimi's demonic possession or this woman's transformation into this state, it wasn't a coincidence...

The path of a sorcerer is actually more cruel than tightrope walking. Dealing with evil and strange things for a long time, it is highly likely that something unexpected will happen over time.

"A decent sorcerer is a potential evil sorcerer..."

"Nami has violated her principles and has come to this point. This woman's will is even weaker..."

"...Black magic is too dangerous. We should not take it lightly...Don't scream, including you."

……

On the street, a young man with bloodshot eyes was chasing and beating several people surrounding him with an iron rod.

The short man who looked like Ba Liang Jin was beaten the worst.

He was wearing a red coat and looked like he had prayed to the gods, but he was still beaten black and blue.

This was the scene Li Zhen saw when he arrived in front of the small hotel where Naimi lived.

He knew at a glance that the mad man was possessed by a ghost.

Although Li Zhen couldn't see the little ghost with his naked eyes, he could feel the little ghost's yin energy in the man's body through the perception of the red-eyed bat.

The red-eyed bat suddenly became interested.

With a strange cry, it flew out from Li Zhen's shoulder.

But as soon as it moved, Li Zhen heard a clear scream.

A small figure flashed by in his peripheral vision and disappeared at the door of the small hotel in the blink of an eye.

The red-eyed bat, which failed to catch the ghost, flew silently back to Li Zhen's shoulder.

Li Zhen looked in the direction where the little ghost disappeared.

Is this little ghost the one that was captured by Naimi?
