But no matter how he shouted in his heart, he still ran inexplicably.

Especially since there was a river right in front of him, if he continued running forward, he would probably fall into the river and drown.

He can't swim at all!

“Help…Hoohoo…Help!”

The man with the crew cut's pupils kept dilating. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to death, and the fear in his heart had reached its peak.

Just when he thought he was about to rush into the river and die, his forward steps suddenly stopped.

The man with a crew cut braked in a hurry, and because he braked too quickly, he fell forward.

At this moment, he was still about two meters away from the river, so he didn't fall directly into the river, but only fell on the edge of the river.

But seeing the river right in front of him, he didn't care that his whole body was still weak, and quickly got up from the ground and backed away.

I didn't feel relieved until I retreated to a safe distance.

Suddenly, a feeling of joy after surviving a disaster surged in my heart.

But before he could be happy for long, he suddenly thought of his strange actions just now.

I couldn't control my running, and at the beginning, I felt like someone was strangling me from behind, and my head was being bitten...

The man with a crew cut suddenly came to his senses, suppressed his fear and looked around, then gave a loud slap in the face.

"Who! Who's attacking from behind? If you have the guts, come out and fight me!"

But no matter how he shouted, no one showed up, and the surroundings were so quiet that it made his hair stand on end.

The man with the crew cut knew that something was wrong that night, and seeing that it was still safe, he immediately turned around and ran.

His target was the food stall where he had just had a midnight snack. There were a lot of people there, and as long as there were people there, he would be safe.

But just as he turned around and ran a few steps, thinking he could escape.

Suddenly, my body became out of control again.

He watched himself stop, turn around, and then walk towards the river step by step.

No, don't!

Stop it!

Unfortunately, this time, the miracle did not happen again.

The man with the crew cut watched his feet step into the river in a conscious and desperate manner, and then his body was gradually submerged by the cold river water. When his head was submerged in the water, something suddenly grabbed his hair and pulled his head out of the water, giving him a few seconds to breathe.

Then, after he regained consciousness, he was pushed headfirst into the water again.

This went on and on until the crew cut man was completely tortured to the point of collapse, losing consciousness, and then he sank into the depths forever.

By the river, the gray figure stood for a long time, as if trying to make sure whether the man with the crew cut was dead or not.

Zhang Hejin saw this scene from a distance, and for the first time he had a new understanding of the lethality of ghosts.

"Do you think that ghost's methods are cruel?"

Although he could have killed the man with the buzz cut directly, he continued to torture him, making him feel all kinds of pain and despair, and finally let him completely collapse and die.

Lin Xi's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhang Hejin thought about it, nodded first, and then shook his head.

"Its methods are indeed a bit cruel, but since it didn't use such methods on that man, he must have suffered a lot before his death."

And since the master did not stop the ghost from abusing the man with a crew cut, it means that the man with a crew cut deserved it.

Although others couldn't see it, he could still analyze something from Lin Xi's actions.

Lin Xi glanced at Zhang Hejin indifferently, not knowing whether he saw through his cleverness or not, and continued talking.

"You're right. Whether it's towards people or ghosts, we can't just seek the results. We must first look for the causes. At the same time, we must always remember that we can never be overly compassionate."

"That man had a sinister face and committed countless evil deeds, harming countless people. He deserved this fate entirely. In such a situation, no matter how pitiful he appears or how much he begs us, we must not be soft-hearted."

Because once you soften your heart and help him, how will the souls of those who died because of him express their pain and resentment?

Or to put it more bluntly.

If they saved the guy with a crew cut, what would be the difference between them and him?

What's more, because they saved him, there will be new victims harmed by him in the future, so they are completely aiding and abetting the evil.

Zhang Hejin listened quietly, and at the same time instantly rejected the pity that had just risen in his heart.

Perhaps it was the first time that he saw someone die in front of his own eyes, and after enduring so much torture before death, Zhang Hejin couldn't help but feel some pity and sympathy.

Perhaps he subconsciously still regarded the man with a crew cut as one of his own kind, and the ghost that harmed him as an alien, so he subconsciously had this kind of feeling towards him.

But after listening to Lin Xi's words, he realized that he had to remove the word "same kind" from his mind to avoid being biased.

There can be bad people, and there can be bad ghosts.

From now on, he would make sure that he would not differentiate between humans, ghosts, gods or demons, but only care about right and wrong and justice.

After the two of them spoke, the effect of the concealment talisman was broken.

The ghost by the river had already sensed their presence.

Only after listening to the conversation between Lin Xi and Zhang Hejin did he realize that they were not ordinary people, but masters.

After thinking for a while, he walked towards Lin Xi and Zhang Hejin and stood in front of them.

"Want to know how I died?"

Lin Xi didn't say anything. Zhang Hejin hesitated for a moment when he saw this, but finally nodded honestly.

"Is it convenient to tell me?"

The ghost suddenly laughed.

"It's fine, just don't laugh at me."

Zhang Hejin immediately shook his head to indicate no when he heard that. Then, the ghost told him how he died and how his death was related to the man with the crew cut.

This guy used to be a little-known live broadcaster. Due to health reasons, he couldn't work normally, but he had good handwriting, so he made a living by designing artistic fonts and names for people in the live broadcast room to earn some money and barely make a living.
