Styx Doll (16)

A beam of white light broke through the sky, tearing through the darkness.

The peach wood sword pierced through his heart, and the mist on the ghost baby's body began to dissipate. The dagger inserted in his chest made a crisp sound of breaking wood.

As the sword shattered, a white light surged, and the heads on the blood river let out screams.

Shanzha looked at this scene in horror. He watched the ghost baby turn into a black mist and go back into the river.

“You, you…”

He was said to be self-taught, and with only half a bucket of skills, he actually killed the ghost baby with one sword, even if it was just a clone.

He Guang raised his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Don't just stand there, calm the thing in the river."

Although the ghost baby's clone is dead, its true body is still sealed under the river. Without it, the ghost shadows floating on the river will be unrestrained, and the scene will become even more chaotic.

Shanzha took a few steps forward in a panic. He stood on the river bank, shaking the drum in his hand. Although the golden light from the drum was weak, it could suppress the things in the river with the scriptures he recited repeatedly.

He Guang took two steps at a time and dived into the river.

Bubbles were bubbling up and down, and a flash of white light appeared under the surging blood water, and soon it rushed out of the water with the light.

Shanzha stepped forward to help, but Heguang shook his head, "No need to come over."

She looked very agile even in the water and had dragged the person ashore in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Youyi?" He Guang gently patted Youyi's face.

The usefulness of the system was reflected at this time. It scanned the physical conditions of the two boys and immediately said: "Host, don't worry, their lives are not in danger. I have remotely controlled and called an ambulance."

"That's great." He Guang smiled, "System-kun, you are always so reliable."

As she spoke, she carried the two boys who had fallen on the shore to a place a little further away from the river.

"I have to deal with these problems before the ambulance comes."

He Guang stood up, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, still dripping with water, and her tone, which usually sounded very relaxed, gave people a creepy feeling.

"Host." Seeing her like this, the system felt scared and quickly helped her analyze the situation. "The biggest problem right now is that there are too many wronged ghosts here, and you can't fight them one by one.

But the seal is not completely broken, so the situation is not the worst yet."

He Guang stared at the crying babies on the surface of the river and asked, "Are we going to keep pressing them under the river?"

The system said, "Host, it is easy for you to kill a person, but it is difficult to save a person. It is easy to defeat a wronged soul, but it is difficult to save a wronged soul. The negative emotions, jealousy, hatred, and pain of you humans are harder to melt than the snow on a thousand-year-old glacier.

You can't cross this river of ghosts."

"But these little kids have done nothing wrong. They don't have the right to choose to be born, nor do they have the right to choose to live. They will have to wander in the icy river forever."

He Guang put her hand into the red river water. The floating baby head was very afraid of her and immediately hid far away.

"This isn't fair. Is there no way to free them?"

The system was silent for a while and then said, "Host, I have found a product for you. It should be possible to make it with the ability of that little guy. But the points required are very high."

He Guang said, "It doesn't matter. We will have more points in the future. There is a poem that goes, 'I was born with talent that will be useful, and even if I spend all my money, I will get it back.'"

The system said, "No, no, no host, I'm not heartbroken about the points, maybe... a little heartbroken, but anyway, I'm just a part-time worker, and my naughty master won't starve to death.

I am worried about you, my friend. The enemies you will encounter will become stronger and stronger, and you will definitely need to exchange for more powerful weapons."

He Guang smiled and said, "My best weapon is myself. Everything else is external force!"

The system sighed, "Host, sometimes you speak in a way that is hard to refute. You don't seem like a simple-minded child."

"Do you dislike me because I'm not simple?" He Guang tilted his head. "I'm just expressing my thoughts. Actually, I'm quite simple-minded."

As he was speaking, the system discovered that the points in the account were gradually increasing.

[Meh, host, have you forgotten about us?]

[The hand that presses the payment password trembles slightly because of the pain (crossed out) and solemn mood]

[You are the dumbest anchor I have ever seen. You can't even ask for tips from the audience.]

He Guang smiled, "Isn't it because you guys are pampering me? Come on, System-kun."

There were little spots of light floating in the sky above the river bank. The light expanded and turned into golden words, which soon dispersed little by little and lingered on the surface of the river.

Some viewers recognized it as a Buddhist scripture in Sanskrit, and at the same time, a chanting sounded that sounded very solemn and compassionate.

Shanzha stared at the scene blankly. He Guang walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "I'm only useful in fighting. I can only leave this matter to you."

"No, it's okay." Hawthorn might have been shocked by her fighting ability and he even stuttered when he spoke.

He Guang took a step back, and Shanzha gently shook the small drum. He seemed to be very familiar with the chanted scriptures. He stumbled through a few sentences and soon joined in.

"This product is called the Heart of Salvation. According to the function introduction, it is a magic spell left behind by gods and Buddhas from other parallel spaces to save the souls of the dead. It's a pity that it is a disposable product." The system said this with great distress, and deeply felt that the Alliance Store was a big pit.

"But what about the ghost baby?" He Guang said, "I feel like he hasn't left."

"So, if a person's heart becomes stubborn, he or she will never change even if they die a thousand times."

The system was also worried, "Even Buddha can't save him... What a terrible obsession and resentment."

He Guang stared at the river water that had returned to clearness, and his mood seemed to calm down with the chanting, "System-kun, I suddenly have a bold idea.

The system listened to her rising tone and remembered the last time she spoke in this tone. It couldn't help but have a bad feeling, "No, my dear friend, you are already brave enough. Don't have any more bold ideas."

"Believe me, System-kun, this is a brilliant idea," He Guang said firmly.

The system only felt that the electricity in his brain was running wildly. "I really don't want any brilliant ideas, my dear friend."

The blood splattered on his face without any temperature, and the cloth wrapped around his face fell off as he struggled violently.

A bit of moonlight mercifully sprinkled on the ground, and he clearly saw his parents lying side by side on the floor, blood flowing down, and a layer of flesh on their necks connecting to their heads.

He struggled to free himself from the clothes that were being used as ropes, crawled away, pushed open the door and ran out.

The executioner chased after him, holding a knife that was still dripping with blood, and he stumbled and fell.

A hand reached out from the side and supported him.

He turned his head and saw Bai Yu smiling at him.

"Don't be afraid." Bai Yu handed him the flashlight in his hand and said, "Let's go!"

He reached out to pull Bai Yu, but Bai Yu took a step back and his body was swallowed up by the darkness in an instant.

Chen Mengze suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a paleness in front of him, but this paleness was the tranquility after the storm subsided.

He tried to get up, but pulled the IV on the back of his hand. You Yi heard the noise and stretched his neck to look over from the other bed. "Hey, you're awake. You slept for a long time."

Shen Mengze was about to speak, but he couldn't help coughing. He felt that his chest still hurt and he had no strength in his body.

You Yi quickly jumped over to help him. Chen Mengze looked at him for a few seconds, and everything that happened before came back to his mind one after another, "How is He Guang?"

"Dude, you are inhumane to the opposite sex." You Yi shrugged, "I'm a grown man sitting here, and you actually ask how the girl is doing first?"

Shen Mengze stared at him, "You are still alive."

Seeing his serious expression, You Yi knew that he must be worried, so he stopped joking and said, "It was they who pulled us out of the river. You can't blame them for looking at us like two delicate flowers."

As they were talking, He Guang pushed the door open carrying the food he bought from outside, "Youyi, come and help me close the door. Hey, Shen, you're awake!"

Her tone turned to become more cheerful, she put down the packed meal, and quickly moved to Shen Mengze's bed.

"How is it? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I'm fine." Shen Mengze smiled at her, his eyes falling on her bandaged hand, "Your hand?"

He Guang gently waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. "Just a minor scratch."

In fact, her arm was blackened by the aftermath of the resentment caused by the explosion of the ghost baby's clone. In order to avoid others seeing something strange, she wrapped it with a layer of gauze.

Shen Mengze lowered his eyes, "How did we survive?"

Youyi had also asked this question. At this moment, he was still looking at Heguang lazily. After all, the eyewitnesses could explain it most clearly.

"This is all thanks to Shanzha. He withstood the attack of the ghost baby and defeated the ghost baby with the relic left to him by his grandfather." He Guang said without any guilt.

"What about you?" Shen Mengze looked at her, his eyes showing worry and deep doubt. He Guang was afraid that this look would turn into suspicion of himself.

Fortunately, when the two boys were unconscious, she and the system had already thought of an excuse, and the audience also helped her check the loopholes in their statements. She was very confident in their brains, so she was very calm.

"That night I was tricked. He turned into Hawthorn and asked me to go to the river to help set up the formation. I agreed, but before I walked far, I found that my amulet was getting hot.

Then I ran away, but I couldn’t run away, so I had to resist.”

She originally wanted to say that she ran away, but changed her words after thinking of the suggestions given to her by the audience.

[Anchor, at this point, you are no longer suitable for the character of a weak, pitiful, helpless and greedy person. You must transform.]

"Transform?"

[Yes, become a strong, brave, thick-skinned person who can eat. I believe that playing yourself will not be difficult for you.]

"I understand the logic, but why do you always emphasize that I can eat a lot?"

[Because we are a group of bad people, we want to laugh at you by giving you advice]

【Ha ha ha ha】

"..."

He Guang wiped his face, "Shanzhao said that I was lucky. What I encountered was just a clone, which was relatively weak. When I eliminated it and rushed to the river, Shanzhao had already fought with the original for three hundred rounds. Then I went into the river to save you. That's what happened."

In fact, some viewers suggested that she wrap more gauze around her body and pretend to fight with ghosts, get seriously injured, and escape death.

However, after experiencing these things, He Guang had a clear understanding of his acting skills, so he decisively refused.
