Chapter 80 Wei Yin's eyes suddenly turned fierce...

Wei Yin's eyes suddenly turned fierce and menacing, with a hint of eeriness. Even the ghost child was frightened by her gaze. Wei Yin turned her head and continued walking towards the courtyard gate. The ghost child didn't dare to stop her for a moment and just stared blankly at her.

Just as Wei Yin reached the door, the ghost child realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to stop her, saying, "Sister, there's no one outside. Don't go out. Let's wait for that brother to come back."

Wei Yin seemed not to hear him at all. She placed her hands on the door and gently pushed it open. The ghost child called to her, but then he suddenly caught sight of a woman standing far away outside the door.

The woman was dressed like a noblewoman, with a fair and beautiful face, and a hint of fierceness in her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she even resembled Wei Yin somewhat.

The woman's face and body were deathly pale, making her look nothing like a living person. Her eyes even had a faint, eerie green light. The woman seemed very unhappy with the ghost child's obstruction and stared at the ghost child with a sinister look.

The ghost child turned pale and dared not stop them any longer.

The woman extended her hand to Wei Yin, her expression softening with tenderness. "Yin'er, come with me."

Wei Yin then followed the woman, who walked far ahead. Her figure was sometimes clear and sometimes transparent. They went one after the other, one human and one ghost, to the outside of the mansion. On the way, several attendants patrolling around the mansion saw them and were startled, but before they could make a sound, the woman raised her eerie green eyes and stared at them. They immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, made way, and stood on both sides of the road, letting the woman lead Wei Yin away.

For a time, no one in the entire house, except for that ghost child, knew that Wei Yin had been taken away.

In the deserted house, a faint smell of decay filled the air. The walls were covered with a thick layer of moss, turning them black and making it almost impossible to distinguish any green. In a corridor where the wind couldn't reach, a woman lay unconscious. The red mole between her eyebrows immediately told me that this was Wei Yin.

Soon, Wei Yin woke up. This time, she was not as dazed as before. When she opened her eyes, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

Then, she saw a woman sitting in the right-hand corridor very close by, her eyes lowered. The woman seemed to realize that she had woken up and slowly raised her face. Wei Yin immediately recognized who the woman in front of her was.

"mother?"

Without hesitation, she reached out to touch her mother.

But as soon as her hand touched the woman's clothes, the woman's whole body became dim and then quickly disappeared, leaving only a small yellow paper figure floating in Wei Yin's palm.

Wei Yin cried out in alarm, "Mother! Where are you going!"

"No need to shout anymore."

Another woman's voice came from behind Wei Yin. At the corner of the door, a woman who looked to be only in her early twenties was leaning against the wall. The young woman's large belly was very obvious, and she should be about to give birth. She was wearing a loose white linen dress that was almost exactly the same as the ghost child's. Because the sky was too dark, her face could not be seen clearly.

The woman, supporting her large pregnant belly, walked up to Wei Yin, took the small paper figure, and said, "No need to shout anymore. That's just a paper figure that transformed into something else; it's not your mother at all."

Wei Yin rubbed her head, thought for a moment, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have been led here by the woman who had just turned into her mother. She looked at the empty house again and then felt a chill down her spine.

"Where is this?"

“It’s a shameful place,” the pregnant woman said coldly.

Wei Yin frowned. This time she was very close, and she could immediately see the young woman's frighteningly pale face. Wei Yin herself was also frightened and took a step back, but the young woman seemed to have no ill intentions. Despite being pregnant, she still nimbly pulled her back. "Are you alright? Were you also brought here by that old man?"

When the young woman grasped her hand, Wei Yin felt the same chill as Lu Hun, and she looked at her with a hint of nervousness.

The young woman perhaps sensed her fear, so she softened her tone and pulled her inside, saying, "Come inside, it's warmer inside."

Wei Yin was pulled inside and led to a small hut. The hut was old, but much warmer than outside. What surprised Wei Yin even more was that there was not only the young woman inside, but also several men and women huddled in a corner. It was dark at night, and it was hard to see them clearly. They could only vaguely make out whether they were men or women. Moreover, they all seemed to be wearing the same white linen clothes as the young woman.

The young woman led Wei Yin to a corner covered with a felt rug and sat her down.

Wei Yin carefully sat down beside her. Wei Yin finally couldn't help but speak, looking at her stomach, "Is your stomach okay, moving around like this?"

The young woman replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I've been pregnant for who knows how many years."

Wei Yin nearly jumped up upon hearing this. Although she had sensed something was amiss, she was still taken aback by the young woman's casual remark. Fortunately, she had witnessed many strange things and managed to remain calm. "I wonder... how many years..."

"Yes, it's been in the dark for so many years, I don't even know how many years."

The young woman looked at her with pity. "Let me tell you the truth, I'm not human, I'm a ghost. You might end up like me because of that old man..."

Wei Yin glanced at her clothes and said, "You wouldn't happen to be the pregnant sister that the child was talking about, would you?"

The young woman, who had been indifferent, suddenly became excited and grabbed Wei Yin's hand. "What did you say? Are you talking about the brother and sister who escaped back then? Do you know them?"

The men and women huddled to the side were startled and peeked out from the corner of the wall.

Wei Yin understood. She had actually come to the empty house the child had mentioned, and encountered the other victims he had told her about who had also been tortured. She felt a chill run down her spine.

How did she end up here?

Who exactly is it?

Could it have been done by that "old man" they were talking about?

"Madam, tell me," the young woman cried, tears streaming down her face. "Tell us, how are those two children? Why haven't they sent anyone to rescue us all these years..."

The other men and women around them nodded with tears in their eyes.

Wei Yin sighed, "That child was murdered after he escaped."

The young woman's face froze. "I thought they had forgotten about us and didn't care about us at all. But I just couldn't believe they were dead! Old bastards! Old bastards! Old bastards!"

As she spoke, the young woman let out a roar like that of a wild beast, as if she were swallowing copper and iron, and stared ahead with venomous eyes.

The men and women in the room all cried, sobbed, and screamed with the same resentment.

Such a scene of wailing ghosts was simply unimaginable. Wei Yin, sitting to the side, dared not even breathe loudly, fearing that they might turn on her and tear her to pieces.

The young woman calmed down first and advised everyone to stop crying and quickly ask Wei Yin for details. After learning about the situation, she burst into tears again.

"I never imagined that those two poor children would suffer such a terrible fate. If it weren't for my younger brother's unexpected death, I'm afraid no one in the world would ever know about this."

Wei Yin said, "That child doesn't know he's dead, nor does he know his older sister is gone, but he remembers you and asked us to come and save you."

The young woman shook her head with a wry smile.

"Before I got married, because my father was quite knowledgeable about these strange things, I learned that there was a formation in the house where we were imprisoned, trapping us and preventing us from escaping. We tried many methods together, but the person who cast the spell was too powerful, so we were helpless. Finally, I saw a little girl commit suicide at one of the formation's key points. Her blood stained the key point, causing the formation to fluctuate slightly. I then remembered that I had occasionally heard my father mention some evil methods to forcibly break through the key points of the formation, which involved using a large amount of blood filled with resentment to sacrifice to the formation. Perhaps that would be able to force it open. We were all filled with resentment, so we chose the two youngest siblings. We wanted them to be able to escape. Even if they couldn't avenge us, it would be better than them suffering such humiliation at such a young age. So I took the lead and cut my hand with a broken cup. Fortunately, my method actually worked, and we successfully sent them out."

After the young woman finished speaking, she smiled gently, "Speaking of which, that little girl knew what we were going to do. She even looked at us and cried. But my little brother didn't understand anything. He wiped away my tears and earnestly told me that he and his sister would definitely come back to save us, but he didn't know that we wouldn't survive..."

All around, the sound of sorrowful weeping could be heard. Several men and women walked to the young woman's side, and she hugged them comfortingly.

These were all young boys and girls, and some were even younger.

Some couldn't speak, only making hoarse, unpleasant whimpers; some couldn't walk, crawling over on their knees; some sat blankly to the side, smiling and watching their companions, wiping away their tears.

The young woman sadly stroked her belly. "My husband left too early, leaving only this unborn child. I originally thought that even if... that old man humiliated me in every way, I would keep this child. But later I realized that I couldn't get out, and I couldn't keep this child..."

Although Wei Yin had learned a little about these things from Lu Hun before, seeing the appearance of these people now, she couldn't help but tremble with anger. How could there be such heartless and insane people?

They are worse than animals.

Wei Yin asked, "By the way, I heard that becoming a ghost requires a stroke of luck, so why are so many of you able to...?"

The young woman shook her head and said, "I don't know what happened either. When we woke up, we found that we had all become ghosts. But after I studied it a bit, I found that this house seemed to be a bit strange. A lot of spiritual energy was coming out of the ground. We were able to become ghosts by borrowing this spiritual energy. But at the same time, this formation also seemed to rely on the spiritual energy here. After we broke the formation with our lives, that old man immediately sent people to repair the formation. Even though we have been cultivating desperately all these years, we still can't break the formation and get out."

The words had barely left his mouth.

One of the ghosts suddenly let out a scream.
