The cough sounded weaker and more feeble than during the day, giving the impression of someone on the verge of death.

Yang Jian suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiao Yuan, the sound is coming from downstairs."

"Let's go." Li Zhuiyuan stood up and rushed down the stairs.

They haven't found any ghosts in the village; their only clue so far is this coughing sound.

Instead of passively waiting for someone to trigger the killing pattern and provoke the vengeful ghost to make a move, we should...

We should take advantage of the available clues to confirm the ghost's whereabouts.

Just as the two set off, the sound of receding footsteps echoed outside the gate.

"Yang Jian, use Ghost Domain," Li Zhuiyuan said.

A scarlet ghost eye pierced through the flesh, and the village was no longer dark. A red light spread rapidly outwards from Yang Jian as the center.

After mastering the second ghost, the ghost realm's area is much larger than when it was in the shopping mall, now covering a radius of fifty meters.

Everything around him came into Yang Jian's view.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I can't see that ghost." Yang Jian asked in confusion. The footsteps were clearly in front of him, but he couldn't see where the ghost was.

The next second, he appeared at a bend in the road with Li Zhuiyuan, ready to block the sound of footsteps.

However, what appeared was not a vengeful ghost, but Zhang Han, a member of the Xiaoqiang Club.

Zhang Han, who had expressed his willingness to cooperate during the day, walked over holding a golden pistol.

Yang Jian withdrew his Ghost Domain, his expression turning solemn.

Li Zhuiyuan remained calm, preparing to make his move. He suspected that Zhang Han in front of him was no longer human and had been killed and controlled by the ghosts of the village.

"How could it be the two of you!" Zhang Han's expression was even more surprised, and he was so frightened that he trembled and dropped the golden pistol to the ground.

Li Zhuiyuan said calmly, "You should give me an explanation. Yang Jian and I followed the footsteps here, and the person we saw wasn't a ghost, but you?"

Zhang Han was clearly agitated, jumping up and down as he said, "This is what I wanted to say! I was just about to go to sleep when I heard footsteps lingering nearby. I mustered up my courage and chased after them to see what was going on, and then I saw the two of you."

As he spoke, Zhang Han took two steps back, genuinely afraid that Li Zhuiyuan would attack without a word.

"That reason isn't enough," Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

"He's not a ghost," Li Zhuiyuan said. "His expressions and emotions are very rich; a vengeful ghost shouldn't be able to do that."

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the golden pistol and was about to hand it to Zhang Han when hurried footsteps suddenly came from the alleyway beside him.

"Tap tap tap!" The footsteps were hurried and heavy.

"A ghost! It's a ghost!" Zhang Han shouted. In his opinion, someone must have triggered the vengeful ghost's killing pattern.

"Bang! Bang!"

Without hesitation, Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand and fired two shots in the direction of the footsteps.

"Ah..." A painful scream rang out.

Zhang Han's face lit up with joy: "Brother Xiao Yuan, you hit the ghost! The special bullet infused with gold can affect vengeful spirits."

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Zhang Han as if he were an idiot: "Can't you tell that's a human scream?"

His eyes turned pitch black, and he could see much more clearly in the dark alley.

"They're from your club."

"What? He's not dead, is he?" Zhang Han hurriedly went over.

Ten minutes later, a small villa appeared.

This place was rented by club member Ye Jun and used as a temporary meeting point.

A pale-faced man lay on a wooden chair with his legs spread apart, blood dripping continuously from the middle.

Zhang Han sat on the ground, bandaging the man's wounds with a strange expression.

"Ouyang Tian, ​​I have some unfortunate news to tell you. Those two bullets hit the center of the egg, and things might be tough for you from now on."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Tian immediately flew into a rage, roaring, "It was intentional! Li Zhuiyuan, you did it on purpose! When we entered the village, I laughed at you for being a child, so you deliberately aimed and shot!"

"Nonsense," Yang Jian retorted. "We were chasing a ghost, and you rushed in from that dark alley. You're lucky Xiao Yuan didn't kill you outright."

Zhang Han stood up, full of apology, and said, "Ouyang Tian, ​​this is mainly my fault. The golden pistol was mine; it fell to the ground. Brother Xiao Yuan picked it up and gave it to me. Just then, you rushed over, and I was startled, saying it was a ghost, which is why Brother Xiao Yuan fired."

"It's my responsibility that things went wrong, I'm sorry."

However, no man could accept such a fact.

He said angrily, "These two shots can't just be left like this; I need an explanation."

"You were the one who fired the shot; it's impossible for Zhang Han to just apologize and let it go."

Li Zhuiyuan said expressionlessly, "I made the right reaction; you just happened to run into it."

"Kukuku." Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh.

Ouyang Tian's face turned cold, and he instantly flew into a rage, demanding, "What are you laughing at?"

"Pfft, pfft." Yang Jian covered his mouth and laughed, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some happy things."

"Damn it." Ouyang Tian pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Li Zhuiyuan: "I need to trade two shots for two shots before I can calm down."

A ghostly eye emerged from Yang Jian's forehead, its scarlet pupils staring at Ouyang Tian.

Li Zhuiyuan calmly said, "To vent your anger, you can fire the gun."

"After you fire, you will die."

"Hey, forget it, forget it." Zhang Han quickly rushed forward and pressed down on Ouyang Tian's hand that was holding the gun. "This is really my fault, don't be reckless. Brother Xiao Yuan only caused you to lose everything, you're still alive. The ghost in the village still hasn't been found, let's not get into a fight."

Ouyang Tian was breathing rapidly, his mouth twitching from the pain.

After thinking for a few seconds, he put away his gun, feeling extremely frustrated.

It wasn't that he had truly let go, but rather that he was certain he couldn't win.

After Li Zhuiyuan caused a scene at the club last time, they asked Ye Jun about his experience fighting Li Zhuiyuan.

Ye Jun's answer chilled them to the bone.

The moment they clashed, the demon within him was suppressed, rendering him unable to unleash his supernatural powers.

Ouyang Tian understood that if a real fight broke out, he would be defeated in an instant.

Zhang Han and Ye Jun clearly didn't dare to fight Li Zhuiyuan.

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief and explained again, "Ouyang Tian, ​​Brother Xiao Yuan definitely didn't aim at it on purpose. The situation was really strange. We were all chasing that ghost, but we ran into it at the corner. Then you rushed out of the alley. If I had the gun, I would have shot too."

"The three of you were chasing after the ghost, but an accident occurred and a conflict broke out. Is this ghost deliberately creating an opportunity for us to fight amongst ourselves?" Ye Jun said with a gloomy face. If that's the case, dealing with this ghost will become very troublesome.

"That's not right." Li Zhuiyuan recalled everything that happened today and said, "I feel that the ghost isn't trying to incite infighting among us, but rather it seems to be intentionally gathering us together."

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at the people in the club: "Five cars arrived, are there only three of you here?"

"The others heard the gunshots, but they haven't come over yet."

Zhang Han, Ye Jun, and Ouyang Tian exchanged a glance, their expressions suddenly changing.
