Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, ghosts have Nine Netherworld Obsessions and Five Aggregates of Fire. But from the time I was born, I was missing an Earth Soul.
From a young age, I ...
"Hey girl! Is it possible that this puppet was sucked blood before?"
I suppressed my surprise and gently asked the old lady.
I hope the answer I get is yes.
Unfortunately, the woman's answer felt like a cruel slap in the face.
"That's not true, brother!"
The woman shook her head and continued speaking.
"Once this kind of puppet enters this state, there is only one possibility: it has absorbed blood and food in a short period of time!"
The older woman explained things to me and Lao Dao.
Old Dao then asked a crucial question: "Wait a minute, sis! Wasn't this thing always in Brother Chen's backpack?"
If it were truly absorbing blood, Brother Chen would definitely know immediately!
Old Knife always manages to pinpoint the key point accurately.
"Is it possible that four were already released before, and the extra four came back from elsewhere?"
The older woman rolled her eyes.
Of course I knew all that. At first, I didn't even know that the puppet had returned.
"Is it possible that it's that corpse?"
A terrifying possibility suddenly occurred to me.
That red-clad corpse was actually alive.
"Brother, don't think about that. It's impossible. We've already confirmed that the red-clothed corpse was just a mass of death energy at the time."
Besides, the body disappeared right before our eyes; none of us noticed!
The woman sighed slightly as she finished speaking.
There are now two possibilities. The first is that there are other living people left in this house besides us!
"I'm guessing it's He Feilong!"
The older woman gave me her final conclusion: He Feilong had been absorbed by the puppet.
Suddenly, I remembered the old lady's puppet.
Because the old woman did indeed use puppetry in the illusion before.
Although that puppetry technique is different from the one I have, the problem is that the old lady hasn't seemed to be carrying anything similar since she came in.
It was pulled out suddenly during the battle.
Even I was a bit stunned by this speed.
I know it's wrong to doubt the older woman, but there are just too many suspicious things about her.
At that very moment, a crack suddenly appeared in this space.
Immediately afterwards, a figure could be vaguely seen.
This person is about my height, and judging from the curves of his body, he's probably quite young.
Because of the lighting there, I could only see a general outline, but I wasn't sure who it was.
"Hehe, stop looking, what you're looking for is right here! Go back now, the road has been cleared, staying any longer won't do either of you any good!"
The person used the light to perfectly conceal their face.
I almost saw the person's face.
Unfortunately, the other party's methods were very sophisticated, and I had no way of seeing through them.
The man spoke for a long time before finally throwing something away.
By the time I realized what was happening and tried to pick it up, the man had already disappeared.
As for the crack, it disappeared as well.
"Brother Chen, that person must have escaped. This space is sealed off, so we don't know where he went."
Old Dao looked around and then came to a conclusion.
I cursed at Lao Dao in annoyance, "I can see this myself!"
"Never mind, let's pick it up and see what that person gave us!"
I shook my head; now is not the time for infighting.
He Feilong is now missing. Although the old lady is powerful, I always feel that she is hiding something from me.
The old lady and the old knife were like two extremes; the old knife had no skills other than bleeding.
But Lao Dao is absolutely loyal to me.
The older woman was the complete opposite; she was very capable and had a considerable amount of knowledge. However, the problem was that she was wary of me.
Even after all the twists and turns, they still remained wary of me.
"Oh my god, it's Lao He!"
Old Dao picked up the bundle, opened it, and found He Feilong inside.
I was a little surprised; I didn't expect it to really be a fat man.
Does that mean the fat man was killed immediately after being abducted? If so, that would be truly tragic.
"Yes, it is indeed He Feilong. We were right about one thing after all."
I nodded. Even though I already knew the truth, I still found it hard to accept when I saw the body.
This is the fat man's head. I don't know exactly what he went through, but there was no blood left inside.
Only by looking at the skin could one vaguely determine that it was He Feilong.
"We came here to help He Feilong, but unfortunately, the main culprit is dead!"
The older woman didn't know what to say anymore.
I felt the same way. When I saw He Feilong's head, my heart was filled with bitterness.
A living, breathing person, just died like that?
I still find it hard to believe.
I just checked it again, and this head can't be faked; it really is He Feilong's.
"Brother, I initially thought there was something seriously wrong with He Feilong, but now it seems I was overthinking it!"
"Let's go, young lady, this isn't the place to talk!"
I patted the older woman on the shoulder, and then prepared to leave with her.
The longer I stayed here, the more I felt something was off; I always felt like something was missing.
I didn't tell the old lady that I had previously suspected He Feilong and thought that he was the one who set everything up.
After all, his appearance was too coincidental.
These doubts became meaningless with He Feilong's death.
"Brother, there's no way out!"
The woman paused for a moment, then began searching through the secret room, but found no way out.
Although this is not where we came in, it is still an enclosed space.
"Yes, I already know where the way out is!"
I knew exactly what was going on; the mysterious person had already given me a hint when he appeared.
He paved a way for me.
"Where?" The old lady was immediately wide awake when she heard me say there was a way.
"Here!"
I took out the mirrors directly. I have two mirrors in total. One of them can hold the female ghost, while the other mirror has no space.
The one I'm holding now is the one without any space.
"ah?"
The old woman was stunned, and so was the old man.
"That person just reminded me that roads are made, not built!"
I got more and more excited as I talked, and ended up sticking the mirror directly onto the wall.
Immediately afterwards, I picked up He Feilong's head and stuffed it back in!
The mirror had somehow turned into a passageway.
I took the opportunity to slip my hand inside.
Sure enough, my hand passed through the mirror.
"Holy crap! Brother Chen, you really went!"
Old Dao was dumbfounded and shouted.
