Beidou is doomed! .

The remaining power within her body was injected into the Yin Wood Sword. As the Big Dipper on the sword shone slightly, a powerful aura forced the old woman to turn her neck with a creaking sound, breaking her spine and turning her head back.

But all she could see was the nearby sword tip.

"Hurry up and do it, this old man is too strong!"

The old man shouted with difficulty, and a wisp of black smoke was exhaled from the old woman's mouth. Her scalded hands twisted the schoolgirl aside and grabbed the Yinmu sword.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, drained his restored demonic power, transformed it into a large hand, and grabbed the old woman's arm first.

die!

The Yin Wood Sword pierced through, and the illusory Big Dipper constellation flickered within the old woman's body before falling silent.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of defeat rose within him. A black, eerie thread successfully pierced his chest amidst the old woman's fierce expression.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and push!"

The old man's voice suddenly woke Lin Feng, and he saw a thick cloud of smoke wrap around his arm before piercing the old woman's chest.

"Successfully participated in the defeat of the vengeful ghost Dongmu, Nightmare Points +50"

"Task 3: Clear the Ghosts 2/10"

The Nightmare Space notification appeared, and the old woman's body turned into a burst of white light. Then, the darkness surrounding the old building finally fluctuated, dissipating along with the black, eerie threads on him and the schoolgirl.

As the scenery outside gradually came into view, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

Returning to the world, breathing in the gentle breeze, the demon-like schoolgirl lay on the ground, still shaken, silently panting for a few moments.

At this moment, the quiet night was broken by the loud laughter of a drunkard. The old man coughed a few times, picked up the sniper rifle and used it as a cane, and walked towards the old building: "I'm so tired, so tired. This old man is having such a hard time. I'm going to go in and lie down for a while."

Lin Feng took a few breaths, straightened his back, picked up the copper coin sword and the Yin wood sword that had fallen to the ground, put them back in the large cabinet, and stored them in his inventory.

"Kid..." The old man who had stepped into the stairwell suddenly turned around and pointed disdainfully at the female student on the ground: "Give that girl a hand."

Lin Feng glanced at the old man with a puzzled look, waited a moment, and walked over to help the student up. He was almost pulled down by the sudden weight in his hand.

"Hahaha, kid, that's a dead person, a ghost, you can't carry her." The old man leaned against the wall and laughed loudly, but when he saw Lin Feng was about to put her down, he tried to say, "Why don't you give her some yang energy to calm her down, then you can take her back."

This time, Lin Feng ignored the old man completely. He knew this basic common sense: if a living person were to breathe life into a dead person, wouldn't that be the same as letting the ghost haunt him? Especially since it was the ghost that the old man had mentioned causing so much trouble.

"Cough cough cough, this kid..." The old man hurriedly chased after him and whispered, "Kid, this ghostly figure is unconscious. Sending a breath of yang energy to her is like saving her life. When she wakes up, she will thank you. Besides... this mission is already so troublesome at the beginning. If something happens, we will need your help a lot later."

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks: "Why don't you go and give me a breath of fresh air?"

"Hehe, would anyone even look at an old man like me? Besides, you're not exactly young either. At my age, if I were to get involved with a young girl, I'd be so embarrassed..."

The old man patted himself down, his face seemingly blushing with embarrassment.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He turned around and returned to the student's side.

The schoolgirl's combat skills are quite good, which is indeed a great help to him.

How do we cross?

The old man scratched his head awkwardly: "You...you...just try blowing on it? I've never done it myself, I've just heard others talk about it."

Lin Feng helplessly blew a breath toward the student girl's face, which seemed to have a slight effect. Her pale face returned to normal somewhat and was no longer so ferocious.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng tried to hug him, and his heavy body was lifted up lightly.

Looking at the girl in his arms, Lin Feng's eyes became rather strange, but he didn't think much of it and followed the old man into the relatively intact house on the right side of the first floor.

The ghosts and monsters here have been cleared out. Since it's not necessarily safe to go to other places anyway, we might as well take advantage of the time here to recover as quickly as possible.

...

"My full name is Zhang Jianjun, I'm 82. You can call me Old Man or Old Zhang, it's fine."

"serial number."

Just as Lin Feng and the old man finished talking at the coffee table, the student girl, who had regained her senses, wrote a bloody "jade" character on the table with her bright red fingernail.

"Xiaoyu, hey, that's a nice name, it suits you well."

The old man's eyes flickered, completely ignoring Lin Feng's number. He looked at the words on the table as if he were seeing his own daughter-in-law, and he was so pleased with them that he almost shoved the joy in his eyes onto Lin Feng's face.

The student's eyes were full of doubt. She didn't quite understand why the old man was smiling so strangely. Even though she felt a bit closer to the two people who had fought together, she still felt something was off.

Lin Feng calmly raised his head, avoiding eye contact, and took out some cooked food and bread from his cabinet, distributing them to the two people in front of him.

The old man took it, smelled it, tore open the packaging, and took a big bite.

The student girl directly rejected Lin Feng's request, but her eyes greedily swept over Lin Feng's face several times before she walked out.

"You could light a couple of incense sticks for her, but I don't know if this girl will even take a bite of what you're giving her." The old man shifted his body against the creaking sofa and took the food that Lin Feng had given to the student.

"You never know, you might just win them over."

Lin Feng ate his bread, glanced at the departing figure, and guessed what might have happened. Whether or not he became a ghost, surviving would not be an easy thing.

"Old man, how many mission worlds have you experienced?"

"Me..." The old man swallowed the bread in his mouth, took the bottle of mineral water that Lin Feng had put down from the table, and gulped down several mouthfuls before saying, "Four times."

Four times? A month? It's uncertain. It's very possible that the number of times the mandatory limit was used, or there could be countless free tasks.

Lin Feng ate silently, then asked again, "Has your strength reached the Good Human level?"

"Good?" The old man glanced at Lin Feng, his eyes rolling around, and said irritably, "Don't even think about it. Logically speaking, I also think I'm pretty good in a normal mission, but this rating is still poor."

"After I escaped from the Ghost Realm that time, I even spent Nightmare Points to inquire about the Nightmare Space, but every time it just said I was inferior to human level, without giving me any specific explanation."

The old man tore open a bag of chicken legs, took a bite, and looked completely displeased.

Lin Feng countered, "Didn't you ask the other participants?"

"I asked, and those bastards either didn't know or they laughed at me, saying that even a dog with Nightmare Points could be better than me. Can you believe it?" After saying that, the old man bit off a chicken bone, chewed it several times, and spat out the half-bones.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, there are quite a few people who have fallen to the human level... Kid, what are you planning to do next?"

The old man dropped the chicken bone in his hand, crunched a piece of chicken cartilage, and swallowed it.

Lin Feng opened a bottle of mineral water, took a small sip, and slowly said, "I want to go and see Ye Qidong's house."

"Ye Qidong's family? What are we going to his house for?"

"I bet there's a ghost in his house."

"Then are you still going?"

"Let's go see... see if we can find the other group." Lin Feng chuckled and quickly finished his bread.

"Another team? Kid, Nightmare Space didn't force us to be enemies. Do you really have to go complete the mission? It's better to just grab some Nightmare Points along the way than to willingly die..." The old man spoke with such sincerity that if he weren't still holding a chicken leg that had just been torn open, he would have already turned around and left: "Hiccup~ Aren't you planning to detach from the item?"
