Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

He took a step, and the wooden planks beneath his feet instantly burst into flames. At the same time, the wooden spiral staircase, like willow catkins, was burned by the flames at an extremely fast speed, revealing the concrete staircase wherever it went.

With one step, the illusion of being trapped in a maze is broken!

On the restored white plaster wall, a neat number 4 is drawn.

This means that when Chen Hengyi reached the 4th floor, he entered a maze-like situation.

Then he turned around and saw the policeman, Xiao Chen, lying dead on the ground at the corner of the building, his head on the ground with blood flowing from the back of his head.

"Dead?"

He stepped forward and checked the back of the head first. He found that it was not very serious, just a small cut, but the risk of concussion could not be ruled out.

Then he flipped the other person's eyelids again, and the pupils rolled around wildly, as if he was very excited, and the pulse seemed faint.

The body still has vital signs, but the condition is very similar to that of a person in a vegetative state.

He examined it and eventually came to a conclusion.

"Has its soul wandered off?"

Chen Hengyi sighed inwardly. This was really a hindrance, a real burden!

Why are there always such stubborn people who insist on coming here even though their major is completely unrelated?

It seems that the other person entered a ghost wall the moment they stepped onto the fourth floor, and then... their soul was taken away by the ghost bride.

Chen Hengyi placed a demon-suppressing talisman on the other party to prevent any ghosts from harming their bodies, and then turned and left.

The danger had been warned beforehand.

Liu Chenghao is my primary target. I'd better leave this guy lying there for now. If he's completely destroyed, it's just bad luck.

Chen Hengyi was still in the posture of Emperor Huaguang, but he could not maintain the state of playing a god for too long, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

He took a single step and leaped over three steps, his figure flashing like a flame, and soon reached the eighth floor.

As soon as Chen Hengyi arrived, under the divine power of Emperor Huaguang, he immediately saw traces of red and black water on the ground.

These are traces left by two different ghosts, one black and one red, both leading to a door.

Room 802.

Seeing that the door was closed, Chen Hengyi took two steps back.

The next second, his body lunged forward and delivered a straight kick.

boom--!

The loud noise echoed on the eighth floor, and the door lock burst open instantly, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.

As soon as the door opened, a putrid stench wafted out of the room.

Liu Chenghao's home is decorated in a minimalist style with a predominantly white color scheme, but at this moment the floor is littered with garbage, rotten food is laid out on the dining table, garbage is piled up like a mountain, and flies are swarming everywhere.

Chen Hengyi, holding a golden spear with a slightly glowing tip, strode into the living room.

pat~

The puddles splashed as he stepped in, and the swarming flies seemed to scramble out the door the instant he entered.

Where are they?

Chen Hengyi glanced around; the doors to both bedrooms were closed, but the bathroom door was open.

A putrid smell emanated from it, and that was also the source of the black water.

Actually, at this point, he already knew what the situation was like in the bathroom, but he decided to wait and see.

Finding the person is the priority.

Chen Hengyi went to the bedroom and kicked the door open!

But the other room was completely empty.

At this moment, Chen Hengyi roughly understood where Liu Chenghao was.

He walked toward the bathroom, where the stench of death grew stronger and stronger, almost suffocating him, and maggots crawled on the floor.

"Chenghao..." A mournful female voice came from within.

Chen Hengyi entered the bathroom and saw a giant-looking corpse lying in the bathtub. The surface of the black corpse water was covered with an oily sheen, and countless maggots were wriggling around.

The stench is coming from here.

Beside the bathtub, a slightly transparent female ghost was crying.

Chen Hengyi: "Are you Liu Chenghao's girlfriend?"

The female ghost was startled. When she looked up, she saw a face that was not bad-looking at all. It didn't have a fierce ghost face; it just looked a bit dirty.

"Are you Emperor Huaguang?" the female ghost exclaimed in astonishment.

Chen Hengyi ignored this nonsense and instead asked, "Where is Liu Chenghao?"

The female ghost was Liu Chenghao's girlfriend. They were supposed to get married, but the ghost bride manipulated Liu Chenghao to kill her.

After that, the ghost bride controlled Liu Chenghao's mind, took over the identity of his girlfriend, and lived with him... right up to this day.

The female ghost was clearly no match for the ghost bride, and during this time, Liu Chenghao had sex with her...

As expected of a ghost bride who has been suppressed since the Republic of China era, she really knows how to play the game.

At this moment, the female ghost spoke: "Cheng Hao was taken away... I couldn't stop her."

Thump.

The female ghost knelt down, her voice trembling with sobs.

Bang bang bang!

She kowtowed several times, pleading, "Great Emperor, please grant my request! I beg you to save Chenghao!"

Chen Hengyi neither dodged nor evaded, and calmly replied, "Agreed!"

He now knew that Liu Chenghao had been taken away, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and rushed outside.

He had to hurry and kill the ghost!

.......

Policeman Xiao Chen trembled with fear. His hands and feet had been bitten and had several gaps in them. The paper figure next to him was elegantly wiping its mouth.

His body was becoming increasingly transparent.

Just then, a high-pitched voice, with drawn-out words in Hokkien, rang out: "Fortune, prosperity, and longevity have all entered the door—"

In an instant, the old house fell silent, and the red lanterns shone brightly, paving a path on the ground.

"The groom entered the hall—the hall was filled with gold and silver treasures—"

Xiao Chen turned his head sharply, and then he saw several palanquin bearers dressed in festive attire swaying as they walked in.

They were carrying a bamboo sedan chair, on which sat a comatose groom.

It was Liu Chenghao!

"Marriage! This is marriage..." Xiao Chen turned his head to look in the other direction, and then he saw the ghost bride looking at the groom with affection, but the ghost bride's terrifying face also came into Xiao Chen's eyes.

"Ghosts...ghost marriage..." Xiao Chen's face turned pale. Seeing this bizarre scene, he felt like he was going crazy.

But then, another Minnan-accented work chant rang out: "Distinguished guests have arrived—"

When Xiao Chen heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat, as if some terrifying beast was approaching.

But there was no sign of anyone at the door.

The bamboo sedan chair still carried the groom into the venue, and just as he entered the hall, Liu Chenghao suddenly woke up.

He looked around and exclaimed in terror, "Where am I? What do you want?!"

Liu Chenghao jumped off the bamboo sedan chair, but was immediately restrained by two servants dressed in black with red flowers on their chests.

"What are you doing? What are you going to do?!" Liu Chenghao struggled desperately, and when he saw the face of the ghost bride, he was so frightened that his soul trembled.

"He's a human being! He's just like me..." Upon seeing Liu Chenghao, Officer Chen instinctively tried to stand up.

But then, a dark, cold hand pressed down on his shoulder, forcefully pushing him back down.

Police officer Xiao Chen felt his hands and feet turn ice cold instantly, rendering him unable to offer any resistance.

The paper figures on the table all turned their heads away, not daring to look at Xiao Chen at all.

This is completely different from the previous attitude of wanting to devour the other party.

A voice, like a tape recorder pausing, rang in Xiao Chen's ear: "What's your name?"

A nameless fear spread through Xiao Chen's heart; he felt endless malice emanating from that cold, black hand.

A huge, bloated, eight-armed black shadow slowly enveloped Xiao Chen.

At this moment, only the word "despair" can describe his feelings.

"Help... No, I can't answer, I'm going to die!!" Xiao Chen cried out in his heart.

On the other side of the old house, a wedding ceremony is underway.

Liu Chenghao was forced to undergo the ceremony.

"First bow—to Heaven and Earth—"

The drum troupe played eerie, joyful music, while the paper figures at the banquet nodded and clapped.

He looked very happy.
