Liwan Cemetery (IV)
Chen Mengze considered his words, "I have done all of these, but every road is blocked."
Shanzha was getting more and more confused. "Blocked?"
Chen Mengze said, "I have been exposed to supernatural events since childhood. At that time, I was just frightened but not in danger. I was still living with my parents. They didn't believe in these things and often comforted and enlightened me. I didn't see them very often at that time. I was young and didn't realize how scary it was."
"After they passed away, I returned to my grandfather, but I was ill at the time and I couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality."
For a long time, he was in a daze. He was afraid of the dark, afraid of ghosts, and often felt that he was having nightmares. Even now that he is awake and thinking back, he can't tell whether the ghosts he saw during that period were dreams or reality.
Hawthorn remained silent.
"Later, my grandfather hired many psychologists to treat me, and a real master came to visit me through a friend's introduction. With their efforts, I began to get better and live a normal life." Chen Mengze said, "Maybe it was because of my many experiences, or maybe it was because I got used to it, I gradually accepted that I could see ghosts and was often involved in supernatural events."
"But from the time I was twelve, things started to escalate, and the things I encountered became more and more dangerous. But at that time, I had another group of friends around me. Most of them had similar experiences to me, and we formed a small team. My best friend Bai Yu was the leader and pillar of that team."
Chen Mengze smiled gently and turned his head to look at Shanzha, "He is as tough as He Guang. I think you should have heard of his name."
"I know, he and I are from the same village." Shanzha nodded. "I was still young when he left the village, so I don't have much impression, but I know Grandma Bai."
Shen Mengze couldn't help but smile when he heard him say that he was too young. Only children would think that they have grown up, while adults would always miss their childhood.
He said, "It was by chance that I met him. We solved many supernatural incidents together and helped many people. However, the later we got, the more dangerous our situation became, and the more passive we became."
"In the end, Bai Yu was involved in an even more terrifying supernatural incident. He didn't want any of us to take risks with him, but he couldn't get out of it. In the end, he decided to investigate the source of the incident to see if there was any way to solve the problem."
Chen Mengze really regretted his original decision. Whether to follow or to stop was a decision, but he listened to Bai Yu's words and naively expected that he could escape danger like he had in the past.
In fact, he should leave the past behind even if it means he is a burden. At least he has tried his best and knows what really happened, without being confused and regretful every time he thinks about it.
"After that, the others also left and scattered. I think I was the only one left alive."
Shanzha felt heavy-hearted after hearing this, and more and more questions came into his mind.
As if Chen Mengze sensed his emotions, he walked forward with him and said, "I feel a little emotional when I think of the past, and the topic has gone off track. In fact, what I want to say is that whether I followed that master in my childhood, or was with Bai Yu and the others in my youth, I have learned magic."
"I have memorized mantras and scriptures from Buddhism, Taoism, and Western religions. I have worn many protective items, such as jade, amulets, copper coins, and peach wood swords. I have consulted many masters, those with real skills."
Shanzha was a little confused at first, but when he gradually realized what was going on, he felt horrified. He looked at Chen Mengze in disbelief, "Then why are you... So what's going on?"

Three days ago.
He Guang chased the murderer to the neighborhood, "This guy doesn't have much ability, but he runs very fast, and he's such a coward."
The system said, "Host, this is a comparative result."
It's not that the murderer is too cowardly, but there are too few people who can chase the murderer and make him escape. Anyone who doesn't run away when he can't win is a fool.
While the man and the system were talking, something unexpected happened. The murderer suddenly stopped running. His feet seemed to be glued by 520 glue, and he stood motionless at the entrance of the community.
He Guang also stopped a few steps away. She looked at the murderer and then at the large golden characters above the community and read, "Liwan Tomb Garden, isn't this a community? Why is the name so unlucky?"
The system didn't respond for a while. He Guang looked carefully and found that a dot was missing in the word "家". She thought it was a good thing that she didn't start the live broadcast, otherwise the audience would laugh at her for being illiterate.
At this time, the murderer moved again and ran into the community.
Although this community looks deserted, there might still be residents here. Moreover, the community is so large. If she loses the person and lets him harm others, it would be a sin.
Thinking of this, He Guang no longer thought about whether the name of the community was auspicious or not, and rushed forward in one step.
Unexpectedly, the murderer stumbled and fell as soon as he entered the door.
He Guang gave up the idea of a long run and went over to hold him down, only to find that something was very wrong, although it had never been wrong before.
The expression on the murderer's face was very distorted, as if he was struggling in pain. The look in his eyes when he looked at He Guang turned into begging. After He Guang held down his body, he found that his back was prickly cold.
"What's wrong with you?" He Guang reached out and turned him over, then slapped him hard on the face.
It’s true that this trick works every time and always gets a reaction, no matter what the reaction is.
The murderer shuddered violently and suddenly stopped struggling. He raised his face and smiled sinisterly, his eyes turning completely black.
He Guang was no stranger to this kind of scene. She jumped back and said, "System-kun, he's possessed by a ghost. This neighborhood is not right either!"
This time the system responded, "Host, I have some unfortunate news to tell you."
He Guang said solemnly, "Tell me, I can bear it."
"The magnetic field here has changed suddenly, and there are a lot of evil forces flowing, just like the Forest of No Return in your school. Obviously, it is more troublesome than the Forest of No Return, and the things pressing on it can't hold on any longer." The system said, "And I didn't even notice it. I'm really derelict in my duty. It's right under my nose."
"It's okay, System-kun. Isn't there a saying that goes 'make up for lost time'?" He Guang turned her fist and punched the murderer who rushed towards her in the face. "If one person doesn't return to the forest, he's still a traitor. If two people don't return to the forest, they're still a traitor."
The system seemed to want to say something else, but it felt that it was not appropriate to distract Kazuko now and muted itself.
The murderer's strength increased dramatically after being possessed. After a few rounds of fighting, he was able to withstand more than ten moves from He Guang.
Although the attack power of people possessed by ghosts will generally increase, because the ghosts occupying their bodies are also consuming their potential, this state is actually burning their lifespan.
And even if the ghost does not do this, the negative energy entering the body can still cause harm to the human body. Generally, people who have been possessed will suffer a serious illness.
But He Guang felt that the murderer today was still different. She could no longer sense the breath of a living person from him.
Finally, the murderer slapped He Guang on the shoulder, leaving a dark palm print on her clothes. As she stumbled back, the system finally made a judgment, "Host, don't show mercy, he is no longer alive."
He Guang twisted the murderer's arm with his backhand, but the murderer didn't feel any pain at all. He stretched his head and tried to bite He Guang in a way that a normal person would never do.
He Guang heard the sound of his two arms being completely broken.
"That's all I can do," she said.
The system saw He Guang holding down the murderer's head and chin, and twisting his neck with force.
The murderer froze for a moment like a robot that had lost power, then fell to the ground with a thud. Then his body turned into a black mist and disappeared, just as Kazuko had seen it for the first time in the open space of the library.
Kazuhiko looked down at his hands and sighed.
"He is no longer a human being." The system consoled him, "This person's soul has been completely devoured by the evil spirit, and only a shell remains."
Having said that, it just saw He Guang's skillful movements and had a hunch that this was not the first time she had done this.
The system has always known the many secrets of its host, but it is willing to wait, regardless of whether it can get an answer or not.
He Guang smiled and said, "It's okay, System-kun. I have faced countless killings, but I don't really want you to see me kill anyone."
The system said, "Host, don't think too much. Everyone has a side that she doesn't want others to see. This is normal."
It was the first time that He Guang was advised not to think too much. She was not the type of person who thought too much, so people around her were disappointed in her and hoped that she would use her brain more.
"Host, you saw how powerful that evil spirit was just now." The system said, "I'm afraid there is more than one here. While you were fighting, I checked the information of this community. It is very dangerous."
The system said as it read out the community’s great achievements to He Guang.
It went on to say, "The seal of the eight coffins can't hold out for too long. If the evil spirits in the community escape, the situation just now will occur. And if one body can't hold out, you can switch to another one. Ordinary people can't resist it at all. If they get out, it will be a disaster for City A."
"This matter is really troublesome." He Guang touched his cheek thoughtfully, "It seems that we have to stay here and continue fighting. But don't worry too much, System-kun. At least this time, classmate Shen and the others are not involved. When the time comes, even if I use some bold methods, I don't have to worry about them."
Were your previous methods cowardly? Would you drift away in a hearse after leaving your classmates? The system thought sadly, and it said, "I hope so."
*
He Guang walked around the small path in the community. Apart from feeling a particularly heavy yin energy, he did not encounter any other evil spirit.
The system started the live broadcast as usual.
[Wow, the anchor has started live streaming again]
[It feels like the interval between our meetings was very short this time! ]
[Anchor, anchor, are you healed? ]
The last scene where she vomited blood was so thrilling that many viewers were very worried.
He Guang raised his head and said, "Okay, the system has exchanged medicine for me in the store. You see, I can still fight monsters for three hundred rounds."
The audience felt relieved when they saw that she looked a little pale but still lively.
After listening to the background introduction of the system, the audience was amazed.
[What a fierce neighborhood]
[The anchor is so unlucky that he meets a murderer when he goes out]
[Hmmmm, when a murderer meets a host, it's hard to say who is unlucky]
[Is this incident really unrelated to the male protagonist and his friends? Has the anchor triggered a side quest?]
The system said, "The host's name has long been listed in the supporting role column of the Book of Fate, so it makes sense that he would encounter supernatural events alone."
[Wow, is the host going to fight the boss alone? ]
[I always feel that the anchor needs to let go of himself]
[What was said before seems like the host has suppressed himself]
【Too】
He Guang looked innocent, "Wasn't I low-key enough before?"
[It's not that it's high-profile, it's just that the operation is too 'sexy']
As he spoke, He Guang walked towards the small black-painted building in the central area.
It has only eight floors, and it stands out against the backdrop of the other twenty-story buildings.
Even though the audience was well-informed, they were still stunned.
[God, is this how a house is built? ]
[There's not even a window]
What kind of window does a coffin need?
[What I said before is really more and more similar]
The system said, "This building is indeed not for people to live in. According to the information I have collected, it is a replacement for one of the damaged coffins, and the surrounding tall buildings are for the residents' yang energy to suppress the yin energy."
But judging by the scale of deaths in this community, the effect is clearly limited.
[There are still people who dare to live in such a weird community. The people of City A are really bold and daring.]
[Now that you mention it, I suddenly realize that not only is the host’s school very spooky, but the city she lives in is also very spooky]
[How about saying it is a supernatural dimension?]
The system used its own energy to scan the black building and said, "There are many evil spirits in the host, and of course there are living people. Do you want to go in now?"
He Guang thought he had heard wrongly, "A living person?"
According to her expectations, this place was so weird that there shouldn't be anyone else breathing except her, but the system obviously meant that there was, and more than one.
The system said, "This is all I can confirm. But host, evil spirits are very dangerous, and the purpose of living people is unclear, so you must be careful."
"For your safety, and to prevent me from being disconnected at a critical moment, I have specially strengthened my defenses, and selected a special offer for exorcism gift packs. Take a look, it's very affordable!"
The system's tone became very fanatical.
He Guang also answered very happily, "Okay, I'll listen to you, System-kun."
The audience was almost amused to death by the daily life of these two poor guys.
[Hahaha, the system's tone is too much like my roommate who likes to buy things on Taobao]
[No, I feel like there are quite a few tips, so why are the anchors still so poor?]
[Because the goods in the alliance store are very expensive, the situation of the anchor is relatively good. Another anchor I follow was so distressed that he cried because the exorcism props he bought last time were broken.]
[Wow, this is so miserable. Isn't this forcing people to have no way out? ]
[That can’t be said. At least the efficacy of the alliance’s products is guaranteed. And the price is set so high, on the one hand, to prevent people with crooked minds from abusing it.]
[Of course it’s still a pitfall]
While the audience was discussing, the system had already exchanged the big gift bag for He Guang. The big gift bag was a black cloth bag, which contained talismans and potions, all of which could be used to exorcise demons.
He Guang pinched the thickness of the talisman paper and felt that it was very abundant.
The system said that this cloth bag is actually a small mustard seed space. It looks about the size of a 16-page notebook, but it can hold a lot of things.
He Guang felt that it was indeed a big gift bag and was very satisfied. He stuffed the snacks that he had been reluctant to throw away into it.
but……
She picked up the last item in the gift bag, which was a fifty-centimeter-long transparent ruler?
"Mr. System, if I'm not mistaken, this is a ruler?"
The system said excitedly, "Yes, host, this is an exorcist ruler, and it is developed by the same developer as your favorite Exorcist Five-Three."
He Guang waved the ruler and felt it was okay and could be used as a sword.
She made a sword flower, "Am I handsome?"
[Wow, I want a mustard seed space too]
[Handsome, handsome, okay?]
[Hahahaha, so childish]
[Hey, can the host also use a sword? ]
[Hey, wait, is there anyone in the building opposite the host?]
[Ahhh, damn, don't scare me! ]
He Guang looked up at the residential building in front of him and saw a person standing at the window.
