"Do you really want to trap yourself here for the rest of your life for a group of people like this? It must be unbearable to repeat the pain of your soul being torn apart every day?" Leng Qingning sighed.
Dongli uses herself as a guide, and she will also endure the torture suffered by the villagers.
"As long as I can punish them, I won't regret it!"
Yang Fan originally wanted to persuade her to stop, but the tragic scene before her death was still vivid in his mind. When he thought about it now, it was still shocking. What reason did he have to persuade her to stop?
"What if someone doesn't want you to suffer like this anymore?"
Leng Qingning thought about it and decided to speak out.
"What did you say? How is it possible? There is no one in this world who cares about me. They all wish I would die soon!" She looked sad. The only person who had good intentions towards her was Erya, who was killed by her in an attempt to save her.
Dong Li covered his head in pain, as if he was lost in painful memories, and kept repeating, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I killed you..."
"I am a disaster..."
"What happened to her?" Bai Xichen looked at Dong Li, who was holding her head and murmuring in pain, and felt a little at a loss. How could they save her in this state?
Seeing her sinking into painful memories, Leng Qingning said, "To be honest, we came here because someone asked us to save you."
The girl seemed unable to hear her and kept repeating herself.
"Alas~"
At this moment, the stone old man let out a sudden sigh.
"Who are you?" The girl, who was originally acting crazy, looked up at the sky vigilantly when she heard the old man sigh.
A white light like a meteor came from a distance and stood beside Dongli. She saw a tall old man standing beside her. The stone statue of the old man looked exactly the same as the one Erya held in her hand before she died.
Dong Li's hollow eyes tightened in disbelief, and his voice trembled faintly as he asked, "Are you, Erya?"
She tentatively stretched out her scarred and bloody arm, trying to touch the stone statue in front of her, but unfortunately, her hand hit nothing.
Dong Li looked at her hands in pain. Yes, she was a soul now, so how could she touch Arya who was possessed by the stone statue?
Everyone present was stunned. They looked at the stone sculpture in disbelief. Zhou Xuan was even more shocked and said, "You said she's Arya? No way? Isn't this an old man?"
No matter what they did, they could not connect the stone statue of the treacherous old man with the thin and well-behaved Arya.
The old stone statue's voice suddenly changed to that of a young girl. The statue's mouth opened and closed as it said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you. I did this out of necessity. When I woke up, I found myself possessed by this stone statue. I don't know who abandoned me outside the village."
"I originally wanted to go back to the village to save Sister Li, but I didn't expect that Sister Li would use herself as a medium to trap herself and the entire village. I tried several times but couldn't get in. I had no choice but to do this. I didn't mean to lie to you!"
One is that the old man apologized to them in the voice and gesture of a young girl, which seemed weird no matter how you looked at it.
"Sister Li, it's those beasts who are wrong. They don't deserve you to do this."
"But what can I do? Things have come to this point. I had already lost my divine power and could only be slaughtered by others. I had no other choice. If there was any other way, I would not do this..." Dong Li hugged himself in pain and cried.
Arya looked at her anxiously and wanted to go over to comfort her, but she passed through her body several times.
"I know you are capable. Please, can you help me?" Erya looked at Yan Ci for help. Leng Qingning, Bai Xichen and others all looked over there eagerly.
Yan Ci's body stiffened. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Never mind. Since you begged me for help, I will reluctantly help you this time."
A strange golden demonic pattern appeared on his forehead. He bit his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood from his heart. The blood drop sank into Dongli's body, and her illusory figure became solid.
"Thank you." Arya knelt down solemnly in front of him, her knees supported by an invisible force. Arya looked at him in surprise.
Yan Ci said with an unnatural look: "It's just a trivial matter, I don't need you to kneel."
Erya showed a smile of gratitude from the bottom of her heart. She walked towards Dongli and hugged her tightly. Dongli cried like a child.
Everyone present stood there silently, and no one made a sound to disturb them.
When they had cried enough, they reluctantly parted.
Just as Dong Li was about to grab her hand, he discovered that Erya's hand was turning into powder bit by bit, and her body was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How could this happen, Erya, don't scare me." Dong Li tried helplessly to stop her from disappearing, but no matter what he did, it was of no use.
She suddenly discovered that there was a golden thread connecting the palms of her and Erya's hands, and her blood-red nails were gradually fading, and the black energy on her body was also dissipating at a fast speed.
"Stop it, Arya! This is my own sin of murder. You don't have to bear the consequences for me."
Dong Li wanted to break the string connecting the two of them, but no matter how hard she tried, it was of no use.
"Sister Li, don't waste your energy. You are a good person and you shouldn't have to endure such a consequence."
"The medicinal wine you want is buried under the ground where you met me on your way here."
She used up her last bit of strength to touch Dong Li's face, but Erya's lower body quickly turned into powder and dissipated. A pure white teardrop fell from Dong Li's empty eye socket and floated in the air.
"Erya, Sister Li is here to accompany you." She hugged Erya tightly, and their bodies turned into golden powder and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Leng Qingning took the white teardrop floating in front of her, feeling mixed emotions. Bai Xichen and the others remained silent, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
The souls of the villagers trapped here were overjoyed upon seeing this. "Great! That bitch is finally dead. We can be free now!"
"That bitch really thought she could deal with us like this, but she died first, didn't she?"
Seeing these villagers gloating and swearing, Yang Fan clenched his fists, "These beasts, even as ghosts they can't keep quiet!"
Yang Fan's pupils constricted as he pointed to a spot not far away. "Look, what is that?"
Leng Qingning looked over and saw several men with pale faces and strange clothes holding iron chains, tying the villagers' necks and dragging them away like dogs.
"Please, save us!" The villagers turned to Leng Qingning and others for help.
Yan Ci said: "The ghost officers are investigating the case, I advise you to pretend that you didn't see them."
Several people were shocked and turned their heads away, pretending that they saw nothing.
