The thunder fell and hit the ground with a loud bang. After a period of earthquakes that made people stand unsteadily, a dazzling beam of light enveloped everything.

All the evil spirits and resentful evil spirits vanished in this devastating thunderbolt.

The red and white evil spirits turned into afterimages in the purple light, the foreigner's skeleton was burned to ashes in the thunder, and the memorial archway of Yinshan Village shook and fell to the ground, burning after being struck by thunder.

The Taoist holding the sacred edict had his hair crown falling off in the lightning. He opened his hands, as if relieved and liberated from this heavenly punishment that could burn and melt people's souls. He turned his head to look at Bai Liu who was not punished by the thunderbolt behind him, and his eyes seemed to be filled with water as he smiled tenderly at Bai Liu.

"...If I have a descendant like you a hundred years from now, I will be lucky." The Taoist smiled and whispered, "Listen to me, the road ahead is long, don't be stubborn and mean, and don't just chase after the fleeting things. It's better to cherish the people in front of you."

"The moon under the water is the moon in front of you."

After he finished speaking, the Taoist paused for a moment, stroked his white willow head, and said with a sigh in his smile: "You may look young, but your memory is not very good. You always forget things again and again. This time, don't forget the advice I, your old man, gave you."

"But some things are already in the past for you. It's okay to forget them, it's okay to forget them..."

As he was talking, the Taoist gradually turned into clouds, smoke and stars and disappeared.

When the thunder stopped and the rain stopped, the ground in Yinshan Village was pitch black. Only the dumbfounded Yang Zhi and Kong Xuyang, the unconscious Mu Sicheng, and Bai Liu with a serious expression, who didn't know what he was thinking, were left.

Kong Xuyang's stunned eyes first swept over his empty palms, then slowly looked at the empty Yinshan Village, and finally fell on the unconscious Mu Sicheng on the ground. Joy gradually appeared on his face, and finally reached a point of madness:

"The boss monster at the end of the level is dead, all the monsters in the village have been cleared, and Bai Liu's teammate has also passed out..."

Kong Xuyang opened his arms, looked up at the sky and laughed wildly amidst the flying ashes: "In this situation, God is helping me!"

After experiencing all these changes, ups and downs, Yang Zhi couldn't help but kneel down on the ground with his knees weak. He smiled twice with a dazed look in his eyes, and as if to convince himself, he firmly said to himself: "...I can win, and I will definitely win!"

"Really?" Bai Liu raised her eyes and looked at Kong Xuyang with a smile, "Should I congratulate you in advance?"

When Bai Liu opened his mouth, Kong Xuyang thought that Bai Liu was going to attack him with the whip. He subconsciously took two steps back in fear, but after he took two steps back, Bai Liu still stood there, not moving a muscle.

Kong Xuyang paused in his steps backwards as he suddenly realized something. He looked down at Bai Liu's limbs exposed outside her clothes. Sure enough, Bai Liu's limbs, including her neck and body, were all surrounded by a thick and ominous blue-black aura that was slowly turning solid blue-white.

Bai Liu was gradually turning into a zombie, so he couldn't move at all.

Kong Xuyang was stunned for a moment, then he could hardly suppress the neurotic laughter on his face, clapped his hands and cheered: "Bai Liu, Bai Liu, I thought you were so smart, but you were tricked by an NPC zombie Taoist!"

"That zombie used the excuse of borrowing Yin wealth to transfer all its Yin energy to you. You were already lacking in Yang energy and were about to become a Yin object. Now you have taken in so much Yin energy—"

Kong Xuyang's eyes sparkled. He put his hands behind his back and walked to Bai Liu, who was turning into a zombie and unable to move. He said with false regret: "Bai Liu, I think you and your monkey teammate will become monsters and stay in this dungeon forever."

"That sounds true." Bai Liu looked at Kong Xuyang and responded with a smile.

Seeing that Bai Liu still had that calm face, Kong Xuyang became furious. After confirming that Bai Liu could not move, Kong Xuyang pulled out a bayonet from his waist and approached Bai Liu sinisterly.

Kong Xuyang imitated the false and calm smile on Bai Liu's face, his eyes were filled with undisguised malice, he pointed the bayonet in his hand at Bai Liu's heart and thrust it hard:

"Let me teach you, losers and winners can't talk to each other at the same level!"

When Kong Xuyang was halfway through stabbing with the bayonet, his movement suddenly stopped. His bayonet was stuck less than 5 centimeters in front of Bai Liu's heart. His hands kept shaking, but he couldn't stab any further. His body seemed to be suddenly frozen, in a hunched posture, motionless.

Bai Liu looked down at Kong Xuyang, who was bending over. He leaned forward slightly and smiled more deeply: "So you like me to talk to you from a lower position while looking down at you, my fellow countryman?"

"How could this happen..." Kong Xuyang was shocked and angry. He looked at the black energy lingering on the tip of the bayonet in disbelief.

These black evil spirits gradually spread into his palms, turning them into zombies and making them as motionless as Bai Liu's.

Yang Zhi next to him slowly opened his hands, and his hands were also surrounded by black yin energy.

Sharp black nails began to grow on his hands and feet. Yang Zhi touched his face in fear. He felt his hair growing thicker and shorter, growing wildly.

Just like a dead person.

Yang Zhi screamed in terror and wanted to escape, but his body became clumsy and stiff as he gradually turned into a zombie. He struggled a few times, but only fell face first into the mud after a heavy rain. He kept twisting his butt but couldn't get up.

"Only with mutual consent can one party pass Yin Qi to the other!" Kong Xuyang stood there, almost collapsing, "Why can you pass Yin Qi to me? I never agreed to it. This is not in line with the rules of Maoshan Taoism!"

"Really?" Bai Liu raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, tilted his head to stretch his muscles, and smiled more peacefully, "I just realized that Maoshan Taoism has so many rules."

The stiff Kong Xuyang looked at Bai Liu who was moving freely, his eyes bloodshot: "Why can you move?!"

"Maybe it's because..." Bai Liu took a step forward and gently pulled out the bayonet from Kong Xuyang's hand. He slowly moved in front of Kong Xuyang, looked him straight in the eye, smiled and whispered, "Has all the negative energy in me been sucked away by you and your good teammate, Yang Zhi?"

Kong Xuyang paused after hearing this, then suddenly lowered his head. Sure enough, the wisps of black negative energy on Bai Liu were flowing from his body to Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi. The bodies of Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi were like two black holes of negative energy, continuously absorbing the negative energy from Bai Liu.

As the Yin energy spread, Bai Liu's originally pale face became more and more rosy, while Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi's growing fangs and the areas around their eyes turned black.

"Thank you for taking the initiative to help me absorb the Yin energy." Bai Liu smiled and thanked sincerely, "The old man's Yin energy is too strong, and it was all given to me at once. If it weren't for the two fellow villagers' kindness to help, I really wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would have turned into a zombie."

Kong Xuyang couldn't understand it, and looked at Bai Liu in shock and fear: "Why would we take the initiative to absorb the negative energy from you?"

Bai Liu seemed surprised and asked back, "Fellow villagers, don't you know?"

Kong Xuyang was so angry at Bai Liu's pretentiousness that the blood vessels in his eyes exploded. His eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing heavily through his nose.

Bai Liu then asked slowly, "Fellow villager, do you still remember where all the evil spirits of the corpses in Yinshan Village are gathered?"

"Tomb." Kong Xuyang answered with gritted teeth.

Bai Liu had a faint smile on his face: "Who is the negative energy in the tomb focusing on?"

"On that Taoist corpse that was reduced to ashes..." Kong Xuyang paused when he said this, and his expression suddenly changed, "Is it to borrow money from others?!"

The smile on Bai Liu's face deepened: "Yes."

"The entire Yinshan Village is a large tomb. All the Yin energy in this tomb is concentrated on that Taoist. No matter where you borrow Yin energy to make money, you are ultimately borrowing it from that Taoist."

"And that Taoist gave all his Yin Qi to you..." Kong Xuyang's face turned pale in an instant, "As long as the device we set up to borrow Yin Qi is still there, as long as you can give it, the Yin Qi will be borrowed from you to us..."

Bai Liu smiled and said, "I have always been generous. Since you like Yin energy, I will lend you all the Yin energy in me."

Kong Xuyang's eyes were red, his skin was turning more and more purple, and his nails were getting longer and longer: "You deliberately lured me to steal your mission and borrow money. Did you know that there was a problem with your character's main mission?!"

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, nor is there a perfect character setting. Since my character has the advantage of location and people, for the fairness of the game, the main quest of this character must have some flaws." Bai Liu smiled and spread his hands regretfully, "So I have never dared to do it. It was you, my fellow villager, who dared to take the lead and did it for me. With someone to back me up, I dared to try it myself."

Kong Xuyang's eyes were bloodshot and he roared hoarsely: "Bai Liu, you beast!!"

[System prompt: The player Kong Xuyang's spiritual value is rapidly decreasing... 31... 17... 9... Warning, warning, the player Kong Xuyang's spiritual value is about to be reset to zero and turned into a monster...]

[System prompt: The player Silence of the Lambs's spiritual value is rapidly decreasing... 27... 19... 6... Warning, warning, the player Yang Zhi's spiritual value is about to be reduced to zero and turned into a monster...]

[Yang Zhi's panel is going crazy, and his personal skills are being strengthened...]

Yang Zhi's whole body was trembling. The memory of Bai Liu in his stomach was completely digested by him within a few milliseconds. However, as his mental value dropped, Yang Zhi was instantly immersed in the illusion created by Bai Liu's memory.

He felt his feet were cold and had a strange burning sensation, as if they were stepping into a bucket of some kind of ice-water mixture, and someone was laughing at him loudly:

"Bad boy, Bai Liu..."

The scene changed, and he was sitting on the edge of a flower bed next to the high school playground, with a spade-shaped ghost squatting on one knee in front of him. The sound of volleyballs colliding and the noise of the crowd came from afar, but everything was far away from him.

The spade-like ghost hugged his knees, raised his head, and stared at Bai Liu quietly, as if Bai Liu was the only one left in his world.

Spade spoke up, asking earnestly and softly, "Can you give me the ice cream in your hand?"

Yang Zhi heard Bai Liu clearly and coldly reject the other party: "No."

Spade paused: "Then can I switch with you?"

[Bai Liu] seemed to be a little interested. He leaned forward and lowered his eyelids: "What do you want in exchange?"

Spade said, "In exchange for my newly born soul."

The scene changed again.

Yang Zhi sat in the ward feeling dizzy.

On the hospital bed was Fang Dian, who was eating from a thermos bucket. On two benches next to the bed sat two adult men who seemed to be observing a moment of silence.

Yang Zhi recognized one of the men as Bai Liu, but the other man looked unfamiliar to him. He had a rather handsome appearance. He lowered his head and said nothing. He had thick dark circles around his eyes and a strong smell of cigarettes wafted from his body.

Fang Dian finished the meal in the thermos and wiped her mouth with toilet paper. She reached out and held the man's shoulder without any shame: "Lao Lu, come and help me. I need to go to the toilet."

Only then did Yang Zhi realize that this person was Bai Liu's childhood friend, Lu Yizhang.

Lu Yizhang supported Fang Dian and walked to the restroom with the IV bottle. Fang Dian limped to the restroom and sighed: "Fuck, Lu, I won't be broken into a rectum by the fall, right? I'll poop after eating..."

"No, you're in good health and there's nothing wrong with your gastrointestinal function. I've asked the doctor." Lu Yizhan answered softly.

"Ah, I asked the doctor about this, and it won't affect our sex life." Fang Dian gave Lu Yizhan a thumbs up and smiled with his white teeth, "I asked the doctor about this right after I woke up from the anesthesia!"

Lu Yizhan's face flushed, and he tried to remain calm while carrying Fang Dian into the toilet: "...Next time you can ask other questions that you are worried about."

Fang Dian's righteous voice came from the toilet: "That's what I'm worried about. I haven't slept with you many times... Hmm."

Judging from the sound, it should be Lu Yizhang who covered Fang Dian's mouth.

Bai Liu, who was sitting in the room, seemed to curl up the corners of his mouth, then quickly dropped down.

The sound of a toilet flushing came from the restroom. Fang Dian leaned on Lu Yizhang's back, hugged him and walked out with a pale face.

She had a wound in her abdomen, and every time she went to the toilet it would pull on the wound and it was very painful.

But when Bai Liu came to see her, she never showed it once.

"No more blood in the stool." Fang Dian leaned against the back of the bed, exhaled lightly, and patted his belly that was wrapped in bandages. "I'll be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

Lu Yizhan was frightened by her action and stood up to stop her: "Stop tapping the wound!"

Fang Dian waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's not a serious wound, not serious."

Bai Liu suddenly spoke up: "It will definitely affect fertility, right?"

Fang Dian and Lu Yizhang both paused.

Bai Liu lowered her eyelids, turned away, and said, "It's mine—"

Fang Dian sat up with the pillow propped up, stretched out his body from the bed, and hugged Bai Liu, who avoided his gaze, with all his strength: "It's not your fault!"

"It's the fault of the person who hit me, my fault for acting rashly, the fault of the weather, the fault of the wind direction, and the fault of all the coincidences in this world that have led to my current state." Fang Dian's face was pale, but his voice was firm, "But it's not your fault."

"I had to save you. You didn't do anything wrong. Don't apologize to me."

Bai Liu opened his mouth softly: "...I owe you a favor."

"Come on, when have we ever asked for favors since we were in high school?" Fang Dian rolled her eyes. She burst into laughter and lay back down with her back supported.

She seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked at Bai Liu for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched Bai Liu's head, with a malicious expression on her face: "Hey, if you really owe me, it's not a favor, but something else."

Bai Liu glanced at her and asked, "What do I owe you?"

"You owe me a son." Fang Dian reached out and patted Bai Liu's face, pulled the flesh on his cheek, and said with a smile, "Bai Liu, be my son. I like children like you."
