Cao Kun looked closely and confirmed it; the tree next to him was indeed a crooked tree, one he had seen before.

"Being trapped in a maze?"

Cao Kun looked around but didn't see a single person.

He listened intently and heard some subtle sounds.

He vaguely heard a song, a childlike and ethereal song, full of innocence.

It looks like a group of children having a happy gathering.

But suddenly, it was filled with pain, and the song turned into a shrill scream and a vicious curse.

The sound suddenly grew louder, filling Cao Kun's eardrums.

The shrill, high-decibel sound seemed to pierce Cao Kun's ears.

Cao Kun instinctively covered his ears, but the sound continued to penetrate them.

Suddenly, several indistinct, tiny figures appeared around him.

These figures ran and circled in the thick fog, their appearances completely obscured, but Cao Kun could sense that an evil aura was approaching.

"Hmph!" Cao Kun snorted coldly, his face icy.

It was indeed a ghost wall, and Blair created it by using the ghosts of the children she killed.

According to the film's description, the Blair Witch Project has a particular fondness for killing children.

Yesterday, Cao Kun didn't see a single child in Blair town.

Because families with young children simply don't dare to live here.

Of course, Blair didn't just kill children; anyone who dared to go up the mountain would also become her target.

Cao Kun remained unfazed, stepped forward, and grabbed at a figure.

He grabbed at nothing, only feeling a chill as his hand passed right through the figure.

"Is this a remnant soul?"

Cao Kun saw through it.

He thought about it and then understood.

These blurry figures are not normal undead.

Fearing the vengeful spirits of the children, the witch Blair used witchcraft to transform them.

Blair shattered their bodies, but retained some of his power.

These special beings now lack their own consciousness, and even their souls are incomplete, rendering them unable to pose a threat to Blair. Instead, they are driven by her.

"What a vicious method."

Even Cao Kun, a heretical cultivator, thought Blair's methods were ruthless.

With a flick of his wrist, the Myriad Souls Banner appeared in his hand.

Cao Kun flicked his wrist, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner began to flutter.

"By the banner, all souls shall come swiftly. Only with my protection can they attain divine power. This is my decree."

As Cao Kun chanted the incantation, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner emitted a powerful, invisible suction force.

Those blurry figures immediately flew towards the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Suddenly, a force appeared in mid-air, trying to pull these remnant souls back.

"Just you."

Cao Kun flicked his hand slightly, and the Myriad Souls Banner lit up with a bloody light. The speed at which those blurry figures were thrown suddenly increased, and they disappeared into the Myriad Souls Banner in an instant.

This caused the runes on the Soul Banner pole to light up once more.

As these blurry figures disappeared, the mist in front of Cao Kun also quickly dissipated.

Soon, a completely new path appeared before Cao Kun.

Cao Kun knew that the "ghost wall" technique had been broken.

After putting away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Cao Kun stepped onto the newly opened road.

This time, nothing unexpected happened on the road, and the journey was smooth until Cao Kun arrived at an abandoned small building.

This small building looks like it's over a hundred years old; it's dilapidated and some parts have collapsed.

However, unlike the spired towers where witches live in some movies and TV shows, this is just a normal little house.

Standing at the door and looking around, the small house looked extremely ordinary from the outside, without even a trace of yin energy, and seemed to have nothing special about it.

But Cao Kun knew that this was the Blair Witchcraft hut.

In the movie, the three main characters ultimately died here.

Cao Kun secretly slipped two talismans into his hand and entered the small house.

Even though it was daytime, the cabin was still very dark, with all the windows sealed off, preventing any light from entering.

Only through some of the damaged areas could light shine in, barely enough to make out what was inside.

Upon closer inspection, Cao Kun immediately saw three corpses.

All three were wearing windbreakers and hats to keep warm.

Three backpacks lay scattered beside them.

In addition, there was a large and bulky film camera and a recording device.

Cao Kun took out a flashlight, shone it on the faces of the three corpses, and confirmed that these were the three people he was looking for.

Judging from their appearance, these three people have been dead for several days.

It's fortunate that the temperature is low in the mountains, otherwise the corpse would be covered with maggots and smelling terrible by now.

Cao Kun was delighted to have found the target he was looking for so easily.

He went up and checked the equipment, and found that it was all working properly.

As for how much content was captured, we don't know yet.

This is a film camera, not a digital camera.

We need to go back and use specialized equipment to see it.

With $1 million in hand, Cao Kun was in high spirits. With a wave of his hand, he put the three corpses and all the equipment into his system space.

It's fortunate that he has now reached the eighth rank of Gathering Evil, which has increased his system space; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to store so many things.

After collecting the body and belongings, Cao Kun, still secretly holding the Yin Talisman, walked around the small house and found it empty, with nothing there.

There were no obstacles when leaving the cabin.

It was as if the Blair Witch Project didn't exist at all.

Standing outside the cottage, looking at this unremarkable little house, Cao Kun made a guess in his mind.

He thought that this might be because after their exchange of blows from afar, the witch Blair didn't want to provoke him, her formidable enemy.

They deliberately left the body and these things there.

The goal was to get him to take these things and leave quickly so as not to disturb her.

Blair the Witch's move was a gesture of goodwill; she didn't want to risk a fight with Cao Kun.

Otherwise, how could things have gone so smoothly, and how could all those things have happened so coincidentally to be there?

Someone must have done this intentionally.

Thinking about it this way, it all makes sense.

"That's it..."

Cao Kun felt a little regretful.

Before coming, he made thorough preparations, all for the purpose of taking down Blair.

As a result, they hid and didn't show up at all.

This mountain is so big, I don't know where she's hiding, there's no way to find her.

"never mind."

Cao Kun shook his head. Since Blair was showing weakness and not showing up, he was too lazy to waste any more time.

Anyway, having obtained the most important item, Cao Kun figured the remaining 700,000 would arrive once he returned, so he stopped fussing and turned back the way he came.

But after walking for only a few minutes, his expression suddenly changed, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

His body trembled uncontrollably, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned as white as paper in an instant, completely devoid of color.

"Trap...trap..."

Cao Kun's eyes were unfocused, and his face was full of pain.
