In the dimly lit corridor on the second floor, only Yang Sheng's footsteps echoed in the empty space.
The motion sensor light flickers on and off, its brightness is barely noticeable, better than nothing.
Therefore, Yang Sheng needed to turn on a flashlight to see the surrounding roads clearly.
Uncle Shui explained that the residents of the building owed too much in property management fees, so in order to save electricity, even the motion sensor lights were replaced by the most energy-efficient ones by the property management company.
In such a silent and deserted environment, fear is most easily generated.
What humans fear most is not the various physical forms of ghosts and corpses, but the unknown.
Just like this pitch-black corridor, you never know what will appear next.
However, Yang Sheng remained calm.
There is great terror between life and death. A person who once had the will to die seems to have nothing that can truly frighten him.
Just then, a figure suddenly slid through the beam of the flashlight.
Yang Sheng abruptly pulled the flashlight back, and the person opposite instinctively covered their eyes.
She was a simply dressed woman, probably in her thirties, with a pretty face, though her complexion was somewhat pale.
The other person was pushing a stroller, as if they were waiting for the elevator.
"Are you the security guard who's taking over Uncle Shui's night shift?" the woman asked softly.
Yang Sheng lowered the flashlight and said, "I'm sorry, Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman didn't blame her, and shook her head, saying, "I just wanted to take the baby out for a walk."
As Yang Sheng walked over, he said, "Going for a walk at 11 pm?"
"I have to work during the day, so I only have time at night. You young people don't know how difficult it is to raise children."
As Yang Sheng passed by the woman, he subconsciously glanced at the stroller, but his steps faltered instantly.
The woman turned her head, a slightly eerie smile appearing on her pale face: "Isn't the baby cute?"
There was no baby in that stroller! It was clearly a huddled, desiccated corpse! It even reeked of decay!
Yang Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Cute, very cute."
"bite!"
The elevator reached the second floor, and the doors slowly opened.
"The baby is so cute, don't you want to hold it?"
The woman stared directly at Yang Sheng, her gaze unwavering.
At the same time, the mummified corpse in the stroller suddenly opened its eyes!
It was cloudy and shriveled, with a thick, yellowish liquid flowing out.
Yang Sheng let out a long breath, shook his head slightly, and looked at the woman, saying, "To be honest, your son is old enough to be used to make soup."
The woman's face immediately turned extremely gloomy, and the mummified corpse in the stroller opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth like those of a shark, let out a shriek, and pounced on Yang Sheng!
With a thought, the Imperial Guard Saber instantly appeared in his hand.
He drew his sword and slashed back, the sharp edge colliding with the ghost infant, producing a loud clang like metal striking metal.
Yang Sheng suddenly felt a powerful force strike him, and he was blasted away!
It should be noted that Yang Sheng, whose qi and blood power had been enhanced, was now far stronger than the limits of ordinary people. Killing someone with a single punch was not just a matter of words.
But how can something so small be so strong?
As the ghost infant charged forward again with a mournful howl, Yang Sheng's blood and qi surged, and the surging power instantly expanded throughout his meridians.
Blood oath!
The Imperial Guard's saber swept across the corridor with a sharp, piercing gust of wind, its whistling sound echoing through the corridor.
The blood oath activated, granting Yang Sheng at least several times the power boost. The ghost infant was directly slashed away, letting out a mournful howl, and its shriveled head was split open by the blow.
"My baby!"
The woman let out a wail and threw herself onto the ghost infant. Strands of blood appeared around her and merged into the ghost infant's body.
The next moment, the ghost infant was surrounded by thick black mist, its eyes turned blood red, and it charged towards Yang Sheng with a shriek once more.
The chilling black mist rushed towards him, sending shivers down Yang Sheng's spine.
But at that moment, golden light appeared around Yang Sheng, and the effect of the City God's Golden Body emerged, which could resist the cold and eerie mist.
However, the City God's divine authority is somewhat low, and his golden body is passively activated, so it cannot be used to fight enemies; it can only be used to defend against such sinister power.
The Imperial Guard's sabers swung repeatedly, leaving only faint afterimages.
With the power of the blood oath erupting, Yang Sheng not only gained strength, but also his speed was greatly increased due to the abundance of his blood and qi.
However, after absorbing the woman's blood, the ghost infant seemed to have increased its strength and speed, and it actually leaped around in Yang Sheng's sword shadows, arriving in front of Yang Sheng in the blink of an eye!
Seeing that the hideous head was less than ten feet away from him, Yang Sheng stepped back, twisted his waist, raised his leg, and launched a series of flying kicks at the ghost infant.
Jade Ring Step! Mandarin Duck Legs!
The ghost infant was kicked and stopped in mid-air. The next moment, golden light flashed behind Yang Sheng, forming a phantom of a golden-armored general, holding a royal guard saber, and slashed down with a bang!
Five Rampaging Soldiers!
The Five Wrathful Soldiers' Souls are also spiritual entities. No matter how Yang Sheng slashed at the ghostly mist, he could not break it, but it shattered under the Five Wrathful Soldiers' Souls' strike.
The ghost infant was also blasted away by this strike, and a hideous knife wound appeared on its chest.
But the next moment, the ghostly mist reappeared around it, and the ghostly infant charged forward again as if it were indestructible.
Yang Sheng frowned slightly.
What the hell is this thing?
Before acquiring these strange abilities from the Reincarnation World, Yang Sheng was skilled in burst-damage combat.
