From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"May I?"

Zhao Yingkong instantly realized that instead of the three of them searching house to house for possible clues, following these "Black and White Impermanence" might be the only way to gather enough information.

Moreover, given their abilities, they wouldn't die even if their heads were cut off. They even possess abilities like telekinesis, object copying, cutting, and erasing. Controlling them wouldn't require such a complicated "deception"...

but--

[It's also possible these two are planning a cat-and-mouse game... We can't judge these "half-human, half-ghost" individuals by the standards of a normal person's mental state.]

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Zhao Yingkong patted Qi Tengyi on the shoulder, pointed to his head, and used her mental energy to send a message, asking him to contact Zheng Zha about what was happening there.

Why don't you do it yourself?

Qi Tengyi finally came to his senses and wondered why Zhao Yingkong had gone to such lengths, when she could have directly contacted Zheng Zha using her mental points.

"Unfamiliar."

Zhao Yingkong's answer was straightforward.

【I'm a newbie too!】

Qi Teng was utterly speechless, but he had no choice but to take the initiative to contact Zheng Zha.

As for Arnold—

Although he has some spiritual points, perhaps because he was created by Chu Xuan, after accepting Chu Xuan's orders, he is only responsible for protecting Qi Tengyi's safety. When necessary, he will cooperate with Zhao Yingkong, but he will not obey Zhao Yingkong's orders. His independent personality at the level of consciousness is extremely weak.

Because he was manufactured specifically to be an obedient bodyguard...

Half an hour later.

Guided by the two women, Zhao Yingkong, Qi Tengyi, and Arno traversed numerous ghost towns and villages, encountering no trouble along the way. However, the ghosts and monsters within these ghost towns and villages suffered the most, being captured, beheaded, and had their blood drunk by the two women.

Zhao Yingkong inexplicably felt a pang of sympathy for these ghosts and monsters.

But it was fleeting.

Upon arriving at the home of the "Black and White Impermanence," one sees:

A small hut, black and white in contrast. A few black cypress trees in the front yard, seven or eight white bamboo stalks in the back. To the left, swords rise like a slope, hanging like human skins; to the right, lava forms a soup, cooking human bones.

Even Zhao Yingkong, who came from a family of assassins and had been involved in killing since childhood, was still somewhat frightened when she saw such a horrific scene.

It's mainly disgusting.

Zhao Yingkong is an assassin, so naturally she knows methods of torture, but compared to the actions of this woman in black and white—

She realized she was a completely good person!

They followed the woman in black and white through the gate, across the threshold, through the front yard, and into the main hall. The woman in black brewed tea for the three of them; the tea was murky, with eyeballs floating in it.

Qi Teng covered his mouth, trying to suppress the urge to vomit, afraid that he would dirty the floor of the black-and-white women's house and be dismembered by them.

Snapped!

Just as Zhao Yingkong was pondering whether or not to drink it, the white-clad woman suddenly slammed her head down on the black-clad woman's head, glaring at her white-and-black eyes, and said, "They are living people, they can't drink this stuff!"

"So that's how it is!"

The woman in black stuck out her tongue, chuckled, and drank all the tea. She then said to Zhao Yingkong and the others, "I'm so stupid! So stupid!"

Zhao Yingkong had never been so speechless.

So, besides the terrifying atmosphere and art style, what else is "terrifying" about this ghost realm?

But this is only from Zhao Yingkong's perspective, who is in a somewhat special mental state.

"vomit--"

On the contrary, Qi Teng couldn't take it anymore and vomited all over the place. He was already terrified when he saw the scenes of people being hung from knives and boiled in fire. Now, seeing the black woman chewing on something resembling a human eyeball in her tea, which burst open and released liquid, and even winking at him when he looked over: ?(＾＿－?·····)

Please forgive me!

He wasn't a veteran of the Central Continent Team, nor was he an assassin, a king of soldiers, or a social elite before entering the Main God Space; he was just an ordinary "archaeology expert"!

And it wasn't even the proper kind... Now he had truly arrived in a ghostly realm, and a ghostly realm similar to the underworld. He felt that the black woman's seemingly friendly gaze was actually a premonition that he would have to pay for the immoral things he had done in the past!

After vomiting, his face turned pale instantly.

"I cleaned the floor just three years ago!"

Upon seeing the sticky vomit on the floor, the woman in white suddenly flew into a rage. With a wave of her hand, three white specks of light appeared, spinning rapidly before transforming into a white halo. A white chain was created out of thin air, binding Qi Tengyi with a speed beyond Zhao Yingkong and Arno's expectations. She threatened, "You've made all my efforts from three years ago go to waste! Why won't you answer? Are you deaf?"

Qi Teng was already pale, and now, being dragged along by "White Impermanence," he was even more terrified when he caught a glimpse of the sharp teeth in the other's mouth.

"Bai, they are guests, you can't be so rude." The woman in black snatched Qi Tengyi from the woman in white, and three black dots appeared in her palm, forming a strange octagonal rune that condensed into a black hole, destroying the white chains on Qi Tengyi's body.

"Humph!"

The woman in white crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm not going to clean the floor."

"I'm not cleaning it either."

As for cleaning the floor, the woman in black has no intention of doing it.

And so—

Both of them focused their attention on Qi Tengyi.

"I'll clean it! I'll clean it!" Qi Teng hurriedly said, indicating that it was his responsibility and he should take it upon himself. "Excuse me, do you have a mop... or a rag here?"

The woman in black pointed in a direction for Qi Tengyi.

Qi Teng looked to the left of the hall and saw a room that seemed to be used for storing miscellaneous items, so he immediately ran over.

Pushing open the door, a cloud of dust hit him, causing Qi Teng to cough twice and mutter, "Judging by this amount of dust, the house probably hasn't been cleaned in three years... What is this?"

As soon as Qi Teng picked up the mop, a mirror the size of a human head fell from the cabinet, rolled onto the floor with a "clink," and caught his attention.

Pick it up and observe it.

The mirror's frame is made of bronze, engraved with dense runes resembling ancient seal script, while the mirror itself is a piece of transparent crystal.

Warm and smooth!

Clear!

As Qi Teng aimed the mirror at his face, his hand suddenly trembled, startling the ancient mirror so much that it fell off, because the mirror reflected a skull.

In that instant, Qi Teng realized that this ancient mirror was one of the clues they were looking for:

The King of Qin's Bone-Illuminating Mirror!

Therefore, at the critical moment when the ancient mirror was about to smash to the ground, Qi Tengyi, with the fastest speed he had ever seen, bent down, reached out, and grabbed the frame of the mirror with all ten fingers to prevent it from being damaged upon impact with the ground...

# Chapter 359 Zheng Zha and Others in Action (XV) Friendship

Qi Teng took a deep breath after picking up the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, then looked at the mirror and vaguely glimpsed the skull within.

He opened his mouth.

The skull in the mirror also has its mouth open.

He turned his head.

The skull in the mirror also turned its head.

At this moment, the notification sound from the main god also rang out:

[Contact with the story item: Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, a magical artifact that can reflect the human body's bones, meridians, and internal organs. Activated using specific methods, it can suppress wandering spirits...]

[It's confirmed! This is the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror!]

Qi Teng was so excited that he put the mop in his pocket, grabbed it, and used his mental energy to send a message to Zhao Yingkong and Arno, informing them of the matter.

"found it?"

Zhao Yingkong's mind raced as she glanced at the black-clad woman and the white-clad woman who were still arguing about Qi Tengyi's vomiting earlier, pondering how to take the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror away.

Just take it?

The Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror was placed in the storeroom, which neither the Black Lady nor the White Lady seemed to care about.

But Zhao Yingkong didn't want to just take it away like that—

She was an assassin, but not a thief.

Moreover, she didn't see the black woman as an evil "ghost"...

I need to get more clues from the "Black and White Impermanence"!

Zhao Yingkong gave herself an excuse.

After Qi Teng returned with a mop and began cleaning up the vomit he had made, Zhao Yingkong took the initiative to ask the woman in black, "Are you human? Or ghosts?"

"Half-human, half-ghost?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the black-clad woman's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She then grabbed Zhao Yingkong's hand, ran out of the hall, and turned back to make a face at the white-clad woman, mouthing, "You can only play with that big oaf now! Hehehe!"

The woman in white clenched her fists, her dark eyes filled with resentment. But since her younger sister had chosen a playmate, she, as the older sister, could only choose this big, silly guy.

Qi Tengyi —

He was cleaning and didn't have time to play with the white woman.

"So, now it's up to you to play with me. What do you want to play?" The woman in white leaped up and landed lightly on Arno's shoulder.

Arno...

They remained silent.

But the white-clad woman seemed oblivious to this, gesturing with her fingers and describing various games: "How about catching ghost rats? Or picking up snake ghosts? No, your body is too big for these games! How about I take you for a lava bath?"

"I do not want to go."

Upon hearing about the lava bath, Arnold immediately refused.

He was created, and Chu Xuan imprinted his mind on him. He didn't have a truly unique self-awareness, but that didn't mean he lacked the ability to judge danger.

He was created specifically as a bodyguard!

Furthermore, his current mission is to protect Qi Tengyi; he can't possibly accompany the White Lady to play any games, unless Qi Tengyi wants to participate in the White Lady's games...

the other side.
