Lily of the Valley, who had been a little nervous since she came in, now had her tail drooping. She asked the two people questions carefully, and her eyes occasionally looked towards the darkness behind.

At the end of the pitch-black corridor, I couldn't see what appeared there.

But one can feel something indescribable, something colder than this dark building filled with resentment, something that people don't want to touch at all.

Something was approaching step by step, heading towards the direction where the three people were.

"It really has been attracted here. We need to speed up, at least to avoid running into those things on this floor."

The monster girl frowned and quickened her pace.

Lin Yi directly picked up Linglan, followed Gu Mingdijue into the stairs amid the little fox's low exclamation, and ran straight downstairs.

The chill continued to grow.

tread!

The footsteps were louder than before.

Lin Yi looked up and saw the thing that appeared on the stairs.

This thing...

It is difficult for Lin Yi to describe the specific appearance of this thing.

It seemed to have no concrete shape, its body hidden under the stitched together tattered cloth.

The broken paper umbrella was raised and swayed slightly, covering the object that was at least two meters tall and as thin as a bamboo pole.

tread!

The crisp footsteps sounded again.

Gu Mingdijue had already pressed Lin Yi against the wall, and signaled him to hold his breath, lean against the wall, turn around and not look at that thing again.

[The resentment from the Yin Building just now has infected us, which will disrupt our own aura, causing that thing to mistake us for something that needs to be "taken away"]

[Now that we have left the previous floor, the disorder will be reduced, but it is still very dangerous, so do not make any sound, do not breathe, do not talk, and do not look at that thing. Pretend it does not exist, stick close to the wall, and wait until they leave.]

The unprecedented, extremely serious voice of the monster girl rang in the hearts of the two.

What are they?

Lin Yi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but ask.

[Ghost soldiers, the ghost soldiers who are trapped here by a secret method and cannot leave, stop talking and do not test the power of this thing]

Gu Mingdijue quickly answered Lin Yi and then directly closed the mental link conversation.

tread!

The next moment, Lin Yi heard the footsteps of that thing falling beside him.

Chapter D-29: Death Illusion: The Hour of the Dog

A gloomy aura slowly passed by.

The strange footsteps gradually faded away. Lin Yi closed his eyes and stood quietly against the wall. He did not open his eyes until Gu Mingdijue whispered "It's okay". He turned around and looked at the stairs beside him. Lin Yi saw a series of dark footprints spreading on the stairs, which were gradually fading and disappearing.

"You said those things are Yin soldiers?"

Lin Yi looked at the monster girl and asked.

"Well, there is reincarnation on this planet, so there are ghost soldiers who take away the souls of those who are supposed to die, or you can call them ghost messengers."

After confirming that those things had left, Gu Mingdijue spoke softly with a hint of relief in his tone.

"The power of the Yin Soldiers themselves is not that strong, but they represent a part of the [rules]. Unless you reach a level of power that breaks through the rules, it will be difficult to fight against them."

"If we hadn't retreated in time just now, our souls would have been taken away by the ghost soldiers. That's why I asked you to do that."

"No matter what the character of the person who created this formation is, at least his ability level is quite strong. I don't know how he managed to trap the ghost soldiers here."

After briefly explaining the situation, Gu Mingji Jue then turned his attention to the bottom of the stairs.

Now that we have arrived at this place, it's almost time to solve the problem.

There are still several floors to go, and there is still a distance to reach the center of the formation. I don’t know what the other party can come up with. However, the few people here don’t need to really reach the bottom floor. As long as they get close to a certain distance, Lin Yi can use the summoning candle to directly summon thermonuclear radiation to blow through this place. However, this place has been arranged for so many years, and it’s only on the first floor that we encounter something of the standard of [Yin Bing]. To be honest, I really don’t know what the other party will come up with next.

"Try to be careful. There may be more dangerous things on the next floor."

The monster girl said this and walked to the front of the team.

"Well, I'll be careful."

Suzuran answered softly, following behind Komeiji Kaku while holding her cane.

Lin Yi frowned slightly. His resonance ability sensed something at this moment, something hidden deep underground, which brought a bit of weirdness.

There is no way to determine what it is, but it is definitely not a good thing. I don’t know if I will encounter it next time.

From the coordinates of his teammates, he could see that Tanjiro was already rushing here. It seemed that the situation there was not bad at the moment, and he should have solved the problem successfully. However, he could not stop and wait for his teammates to arrive. Gu Mingji was sure that there was an enemy in the center of the formation. If they stopped here to give the enemy time to react, this place might become more dangerous later. Therefore, he had to go in as quickly as possible to solve the problem.

"There are no stairs going down any further. Do we have to find a new staircase on this floor?"

Arriving at the stairwell on the next floor, Lin Yi discovered that there were no stairs leading to the lower floors, but only walls.

Can't we just blow up the floor?

"It's better not to. The negative energy and resentment here form a balance. If you can't destroy this place in one go, don't act rashly. Otherwise, once the [field] here is disrupted, not only will we die here, but this place will also become a dead land. The hidden dangers caused may last for hundreds of years, endangering the lives of many people."

"Well, I don't object to this method. After all, it can break the impasse, and you can be resurrected in the end without having to worry about dying. But, Mr. Lin, you are a serious savior, you should not want to let such a situation happen here, right?"

Gu Mingdijue, who had already known what Lin Yi would think, turned his head and looked at him and said, leaving Lin Yi with no choice but to give up the idea.

squeak-

Pushing open the door, the three of them stepped gently into this floor.

The flames of the incense and candles began to sway slightly.

coffin.

One after another, there were coffins placed upright in the corridor, and incense sticks were lit all along the way.

Lin Yi felt a chilling and eerie air even more intense than the first level.

All the shops were covered with white cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Most of the coffins had been opened, and the insides were empty, with only bloody scratches visible. The blood was still bright and vivid when Lin Yi looked over, and was even dripping slowly along the scratches, as if the struggle of the people trapped inside had just happened not long ago.

"What a disgusting place! Even Yama, who lives in hell, would probably frown at such a situation."

The girl sighed softly as she moved forward. She had already understood the cause of death of the people on this floor from the despair and resentment that remained on the floor.

The people on the previous floor died in endless confusion, wandering forever in the darkness with no exit.

And the people on this floor were all put into coffins alive, their souls were locked up, and their bodies were sealed and could not be freed, and this continued day after day until they went completely crazy.

The zombies that rushed up when Lin Yi was fighting with Upper Rank One just now were probably from this floor. What a sad ending, they were locked in pain before and after death, and the only chance to leave was when they were forced to fight and perish.

But for these people, this result is actually a relief.

“Some of the coffins have not been opened yet.”

Lin Yi noticed some coffins that were darker in color and tightly wrapped with black ink lines. These coffins were sealed and not opened, but the resentment emanating from them was extremely gloomy and extremely strong. It was obvious that the things trapped inside were very unusual.

"They are all corpses that have been refined for a long time. They may not be as good as the zombie you dealt with yesterday, Lin Jun, but they are not much worse."

Gu Ming Di Jue said softly and continued to walk forward.

The smoky flavor is particularly strong in this layer.

The ground was almost covered with soot and wax, and every step raised dust.

crunch--

There was a clear sound in the silence, as if one of the coffin lids was moving.

Something else appeared on this level.

Deng!

The footsteps fell, and a heavy sound reached my ears.

Lin Yi raised his head and saw a figure appearing from the corner of the corridor. His casual clothes had become tattered and were stained with blood.

Sharp nails grew on the festering fingers, and the dull face stared in the direction of the three people here. Then the thing suddenly jumped up, took a step forward to cover a distance of several meters, and then jumped up again, quickly closing the distance between the two sides.

crunch - crunch -

More voices rang out at this moment.

One figure after another appeared in the corridor, jumping.

Most of these people with dull eyes had varying degrees of ulcers on their bodies. Their fingers were almost completely rotten, as if they had been broken while digging something, but new sharp nails had grown out of them.

"Lily of the Valley, come behind me."

To protect Lily of the Valley, who had relatively poor combat capability in the team, Lin Yi took out his pistol and shot at a zombie that rushed forward.

The engraved bullets, powerful enough to destroy low-level spirits, hit the creature's body, but only barely forced it to retreat a few steps before it rushed forward again.

Lin Yi took out the yellow talisman given by Uncle Lin and stuck it on the head of this thing. With a sound as if something was burning, this thing suddenly stopped and stood stiffly in place.

"The talisman can suppress them temporarily."

Lin Yi said in a low voice after taking a look at the talisman paper that was slowly burning, while on the other side, Gu Ming Di Jue had already summoned several talisman cards and directly knocked down several zombies that rushed forward.

"I'll knock them down, you put up the talismans, and the little fox will assist us."

The Lord of the Earth Spirit Temple, who had entered combat mode, had an unusual aura. Her voice was cold and her hands moved swiftly. More zombies fell to the ground with a few explosions.

Lin Yi did not hesitate and quickly stuck the talisman paper on the heads of these things. At the same time, he did not forget to try to use energy resonance to analyze the various energy reactions when the talisman paper came into contact with the zombies, to see if he could crack the principle of energy flow and thus fix these things directly without relying on talisman paper.

Lily of the Valley quickly waved her staff, shooting out blue and white fox fires one after another, slowing down the bodies of the zombies that were rushing forward.

More and more zombies rushed out from both sides of the corridor, from the corners of the corridor, and even from the closed shops, as if they were endless.

Three figures continued to advance among the corpses, constantly repelling the enemies attacking from all directions and keeping them in place.

But soon, Gu Mingdi Jue frowned, looking at the zombies which still showed no sign of decreasing, she realized that the current situation seemed to be somewhat different from what she had imagined.

"No, it shouldn't be this much."

After repelling several zombies again, the monster girl closed her eyes, released all her magic power, and then found the abnormal point.

"These zombies are not entirely real, they are a mixture of fake and real. The formation on this floor contains both illusion and reality. We can't defeat them all if we keep fighting like this. These things will keep pouring out. We must find the next floor quickly!"

As she spoke, the girl once again gathered her demonic power and violently knocked away more than a dozen zombies that rushed out in front of her at the same time. A large group of stiff corpses rolled into a pile, and several of them suddenly twisted and dissipated into smoke in the blink of an eye.

"Is this place so troublesome?"

Complaining like this, Lin Yi directly reached out and picked up Lily of the Valley. It was the second time for Lin Yi to pick up the little fox, so he was very familiar with the process. As for Lily of the Valley herself, although she blushed a little, she knew that this was a very serious time, so the girl did not say anything, but just lay obediently in Lin Yi's arms, continuing to hold the staff tightly, ready to use the Originium skills to assist the two of them at any time.

Komeiji Kaku glanced at Suzuran and then began to rush forward.

[Memories: Tengu photographer's candid photos and escape moments]

At this moment, the petite figure seemed to turn into a meteor, passing through the attacking zombies at an incredibly fast speed.

Lin Yi followed closely beside her, and even though his hands were unable to attack, his speed did not slow down at all. He ran beside the monster girl and directly shared the magic performed by Gu Mingji Jue through the ability of resonance.

More and more zombies with twisted bodies filled the corridor.

The walls and the road seemed to be gradually twisting, and gradually it was impossible to tell where the road ahead led to, or whether it was a wall or a road.

The illusion of the entire floor became increasingly severe at this moment, and the surging power of resentment continued to spread, as if to tear apart people's spirits.

But neither Gu Mingdi Jue nor Lin Yi present showed any signs of mental disorder due to the suppression of this power. Even Linglan gritted her teeth to resist the strange power of the floor itself, and even had the energy to cast magic to slow down the movements of the attacking zombies.

"Tsk, it's hidden very deeply."

Gu Mingji Jue's brows furrowed.

The structure of the formation itself determines that there must be a [Death Gate] and a [Life Gate] in the formation. There is no formation that cannot be broken. This is the law of order of the way of heaven and earth. However, as long as it is handled properly, the [Life Gate] can be hidden, making it impossible for people trapped in the formation to find the breakthrough point.

The girl herself was not an expert in breaking the formation. Although she had learned a lot of relevant knowledge from the Taoist priest through her ability to read minds, this emergency remedial course was still half-baked. Therefore, although Gu Mingdi Jue could identify the problem of the formation, he could not find a way out quickly enough, that is, the location of the stairs leading to the next floor.

"Leave it to me, you cover me."

At this time, Lin Yi took a step forward and suddenly took the dominant position.

Gu Mingdijue was slightly stunned. The girl who read Lin Yi's thoughts showed a surprised expression and then stepped aside.
