Chapter 198, First Stop: Drum Tower



Unexpectedly, Heijiji exclaimed, "The burial ground! I recognize this place!"

Everyone was immediately taken aback: "You know this place? What kind of burial site is this?"

Heijiji quickly said, "I once read in an ancient book that the burial ground is the origin of all the strange things. These strange things that suddenly appeared all came from the burial ground."

"Ah!" she exclaimed again, "Could it be that the monsters came to our world by train?"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhao Hao's face turned pale, and he conjured up many unpleasant images.

I was terrified that as soon as I got off the bus, I would arrive at the eerie lair and be devoured by a group of monsters.

But Yang Mingbai and Qi both had strange expressions.

Having broken into Qingshan Mental Hospital with Fang Xiu, they naturally knew very well that the strange occurrences originated from the other side, and that it was definitely not something that came by train—that was too far-fetched.

Fang Xiu's heart stirred slightly. He was still lying. Even amidst bizarre events, he still couldn't forget to lie. This probably couldn't be explained by a mental defect.

Even the most flawed spirit master would never risk their life.

In dangerous situations, intelligence is crucial, even life-threatening. However, Heijiji chose to spread false information at such a time. Although it was harmless, it went beyond mere bad taste.

She must have had some ulterior motive for lying.

Could it be that... her true ability is related to deception?

Fang Xiu didn't believe a single word Hei Jiji said from beginning to end, and he didn't believe that Hei Jiji's ability was ice and fire. It's a simple principle: a Spirit Master's ability is their trump card, and no one would casually reveal their trump card in front of a stranger.

Even if she truly possesses dual abilities, to gain trust, she only needs to reveal one ability and keep the other as her trump card.

"Beautiful lady, what else did that ancient book say?" Zhao Hao was clearly unaware that the prettier the woman, the more likely she was to lie, and was still asking the question foolishly.

The same applies to fat people.

The two listened to Heijiji's ramblings.

"That ancient book was incomplete and the records weren't very comprehensive, but I remember one thing: it said that you must never reveal your name when you arrive at the burial site, or a strange entity will steal your name!"

"What will happen if our names are taken away?" Zhao Hao and the other asked nervously.

"You will be forever lost in the burial ground, never to escape, while the strange creature that has your name will live in your place and then use your identity to devour your family and friends."

"Ah!" The two were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

"What should we do?"

Heijiji pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "How about we start calling each other by code names from now on? The code name should ideally not have any connection to your own personality, and the less it resembles your name, the better, that way it's safer."

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. So, what should I call myself?"
