Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

"Ah—I, I didn't see anything..." The girl's forehead was covered in cold sweat, she was terrified.

Little Chen, who was following behind Chen Hengyi, was confused. He quickly said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. I'm a policeman. You can tell me if you encounter any problems."

However, the girl completely ignored Xiao Chen's meaning, instead staring intently at Chen Hengyi, and showing fear.

Chen Hengyi was speechless: "Kid, I know you can see different things, but if you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll beat you up."

The girl suddenly woke up, her finger trembling as she pointed at Chen Hengyi: "There's something behind you..."

"ghost?"

"A ghost!" Xiao Chen was startled and quickly looked Chen Hengyi up and down.

Chen Hengyi was also puzzled. He didn't feel anything was wrong, so why was he being haunted by a ghost?

Could it be that the ghost bride is causing trouble again?

"What is it? Tell me."

"A shadow with eight arms follows you, following your shadow."

Chen Hengyi fell silent, because he seemed to know who this was.

The Great Black Buddha Mother has eight arms.

After a day of silence, Chen Hengyi thought the other party had given up, but it turned out that it was just following him without possessing him.

Chen Hengyi raised his hand and wiped, opening the Heavenly Eye of the Playful Fire.

He looked back, but saw nothing.

Is he still alive?

"It's still there."

Chen Hengyi understood. That meant that the Heavenly Eye also had different levels. Perhaps his Heavenly Eye was not powerful enough to see through the Great Black Buddha Mother.

The other person's inherited ability to see ghosts is much more powerful.

Chen Hengyi thought for a moment, and then a mask appeared out of thin air, startling both of them. They couldn't figure out where it came from.

Without explanation, he put on the Huaguang Emperor mask.

The next second, the girl exclaimed, "He's gone!"

Seeing this, Chen Hengyi was speechless. This Great Black Buddha Mother was truly disgusting. Wasn't she just a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment?

Unless... you quickly resolve the matter of the Great Black Buddha Mother, or stay in Zhoucang Temple.

But the most important thing now is to save Liu Chenghao and then kill that damned bride.

Chen Hengyi looked at the girl and asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the narrow eyes behind the mask. She scratched her head and said, "My name is Lin Yinyin."

Chen Hengyi took out a New Taiwan Dollar from his wallet, handed it to Lin Yinyin, and said in a serious voice, "Listen carefully."

Lin Yinyin was taken aback when she saw the two thousand New Taiwan Dollars; there was black ink on them.

She was stunned for two seconds.

"I know you recently awakened your ability to see ghosts, and it might be troubling you, but it's your talent... You don't need to know how I know. If you need help, you can call the number above. Otherwise, it's none of your business."

"Now, I advise you to leave immediately."

Lin Yinyin was startled and quickly ran away with the NT dollar note in her hand.

As she ran, she turned around out of curiosity and discovered that Chen Hengyi was radiating a fiery light.

Lin Yinyin also felt a pain in her eyes, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

"What is that?!"

Chen Hengyi led Xiao Chen up the stairs, the spiraling staircase making people dizzy, as if it had no end.

The latter suddenly asked, "Why take the stairs when there's an elevator?"

Chen Hengyi, still wearing the Huaguang Emperor mask, said coldly, "Have you ever seen a horror movie? Elevators are prone to ghost encounters... Don't you even know that?"

"And you heard what that little girl said just now. There's something unclean following me. If you want to die, then follow me."

As soon as Chen Hengyi finished speaking, Officer Chen's expression visibly stiffened for a moment.

He looked up at the winding, dark staircase, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he still steeled himself and followed.

click, click, click...

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, carrying an unsettling rhythm.

As Chen Hengyi walked, he suddenly smelled the musty, foul scent of rouge on the ghost bride again.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and found that there was no one behind him.

Officer Chen has disappeared.

And he walked for a long time, and this floor didn't seem right.

A quick glance revealed that the stair railing had been replaced with wood at some point, and the cement stairs beneath one's feet had been replaced with wooden planks.

It looked dilapidated and on the verge of collapse, and through the cracks in the wooden planks, you could see a dark abyss.

It was as if he would die the moment he took that first step.

As Officer Chen followed, he suddenly lost his footing and fell directly into a festive hall.

A sharp, knife-like pain shot through him, and he was horrified, wondering why the fall would cause such pain.

The sounds of gongs and drums came from the gong and drum band on the side.

It looks like an old house from the last century, with festive red lanterns hanging everywhere and bright red paper pasted on it.

With people coming and going, Officer Chen didn't even have time to react before he was pushed onto a table.

The table was laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

"Guests are welcome, so please don't stand on ceremony. The newlyweds will be coming over to offer their toasts shortly."

"I've never seen you before. You're from the man's side, right?"

"Are you traveling alone? How about you stay at my place tonight?"

Police officer Xiao Chen listened to these enthusiastic words, but his whole body stiffened, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his face turned pale and ugly.

A paper figure with rosy cheeks and eerie bloodshot pupils enthusiastically placed a chicken leg on Officer Chen's plate.

The chicken leg... was raw, and still had feathers on it, as if it had been torn off raw. The other dishes on the table were the same.

"Eat up, why aren't you eating?" The paper figure's voice reached Officer Chen's ears.

"I..." Officer Chen couldn't believe what was in front of him. Why was the paper figure smiling and even putting a chicken leg on his plate?

At this moment, all the paper figures on the table fell silent, staring intently at Officer Chen with their red-glowing eyes.

His eyes clearly revealed greed and a desire to explore.

"Eat it if you want, or we'll eat it."

Police officer Xiao Chen's eyes scanned the area quickly; he was now deeply regretting following Chen Hengyi up the stairs.

He now wants to find out about the other person's existence.

He saw a bride in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown standing alone in the main hall, her neck slightly tilted, her gaze seemingly fixed on the spot that originally belonged to the groom.

Although the other party did not notice him, Officer Chen was still under immense pressure!

Unfortunately... Chen Hengyi did not appear here.

Thud! Thud thud!

His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it could drown out the drums and gongs. He reached into his pocket and found that the pistol at his waist was gone!

He looked down and realized that he had changed into a set of coarse linen clothes.

At this moment, he felt like a lamb stripped of its skin that had wandered into a flock of sheep, with no sense of security whatsoever.

Officer Chen's face contorted in an expression more painful than tears: "No—!"

On the stairs, Chen Hengyi glanced around and said, "Ha, a ghost wall."

Without hesitation, a tiny spark, the size of a mung bean, appeared in his hand, and he immediately placed it between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the fire patterns on Huaguang's face seemed to come alive, especially the fire-patterned third eye between his eyebrows, which shone with a majestic crimson light.

hum!

Chen Hengyi reached out, and the Demon-Slaying Golden Spear with red tassels immediately appeared in his hand, while his other hand dragged a gold brick.

Chen Hengyi stepped onto the stairs, his phoenix eyes half-closed, his inner passion for acting burning intensely, instantly immersing himself in the role.

With a resonant chest voice, he recited in a highly menacing theatrical tone: "The Great Emperor Huaguang is here! What demon dares to block my path and cause trouble—"
