Song Jiao's brows were furrowed, her gaze piercing, yet she caught only a glimpse of nothingness at the doorway. Who on earth could possibly be so powerful as to block her keen vision?
"Brother, what did you see?" She turned around, with a hint of urgency in her tone, and looked at the original owner's brother. She saw that his face was pale and his eyes were full of fear, which did not seem to be fake.
My brother pointed at the door with a trembling finger, but he couldn't say a word.
Song Jiao's mind moved, and with a flick of her finger, ten points of merit flowed into her brother's body like flowing light. In an instant, her brother's eyes gradually became clear, his body stopped trembling, and he slowly calmed down.
Song Jiao thought to herself, "This power of merit is indeed extraordinary. There must be something fishy going on in this space."
After her brother fell asleep, Song Jiao got up quietly and slowly walked towards the door.
She looked around, but everything was still in chaos, as if shrouded by some force that made it difficult for her to see the truth.
"Do I really have to open my third eye to see through this illusion?" She thought to herself, then raised her hands, put her fingertips together, closed her eyes and concentrated, a mysterious power surged in her body.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and her third eye was open! However, the scene before her shocked her heart.
It was a dilapidated village, covered in moss and lifeless. Everywhere you looked, the living dead could be seen. They staggered like zombies, their eyes devoid of light, filled with endless despair.
"This..." Song Jiao muttered to herself, feeling an indescribable chill in her heart.
She looked around, trying to find a glimmer of life, but found that those so-called living people were all pale and thin, half-dead, as if they would fall down at any time.
"A big illusion within a small illusion, this void is really painstaking!" The only thing Song Jiao wants to do now is to grasp the void.
Let Tiandao come out, she is thinking about the World Crystal!
Song Jiao slowly turned around and her eyes fell on the original owner's younger brother again.
He was still pale and thin, with a sunken face, as if even the last bit of life had been swallowed up by this strange space.
Although the ten merits just now made his complexion slightly better, it now seemed that it was just a flash in the pan and was of no use.
Song Jiao felt melancholy. She felt like she was trapped in a cage isolated from the world, with the system disconnected and she was isolated and helpless.
The original owner's wish was to let his family survive. Now it's good that they are not dead and are still alive!
She decided to try again, turned around and ran out the door, wanting to find the original owner's parents, perhaps they could have more clues.
When she ran to where her parents were, panting, she found that they were in the same condition, their faces were ashen and lifeless.
"Dad, Mom!" Song Jiao shouted at the two of them.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around?" There was a hint of blame in Mother Li's tone, but more of it was concern for Song Jiao's safety.
Song Jiao looked up at Li's mother, tears in her eyes. "Mom, I just feel weird."
Her voice trembled, her tone filled with fear and anxiety. "What I saw at first was very strange. Our house was so messy and rotten, and it was all covered with moss. This place is different from before. It's not home!"
Upon hearing this, Li's mother's face suddenly changed. "What are you talking about?"
She stared at Song Jiao's eyes, as if trying to find a hint of answer from her eyes.
However, there was only fear and confusion in Song Jiao's eyes, without a trace of falsehood.
"This..." Mother Li's lips trembled and she was speechless for a moment.
Father Li looked hurried. He grabbed Song Jiao and Mother Li and ran back home almost frantically.
As soon as the door closed, he turned around, staring at Song Jiao with a sharp gaze, his tone carrying unquestionable seriousness: "Yan'er, no matter how shocking the scene you witnessed was, you must keep it to yourself. Once it is leaked, everything we have will be gone in an instant."
There are people in this village who can see, but they all die in the end, and those things will find these people and absorb their lifespan.
In the end, those people died.
No symptoms found yet.
When Song Jiao heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank. She knew in her heart that the original owner's father was no ordinary person and he knew it.
"Dad, you...you know everything?" Her voice trembled slightly, with surprise and a hint of fear.
Father Li pursed his lips tightly, his eyes deep, as if he could see through all illusions: "Yes, I saw it when I was twenty years old."
After saying this, he slowly sat down and began to recount those unknown secrets: "Beneath this seemingly beautiful surface, there are actually undercurrents surging. Those who seem full of vitality are actually nearing the end of their energy. What I have seen is the truth that you are about to witness."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold draft suddenly blew through the hall, bringing a biting chill.
Song Jiao reacted quickly, raised her hands and formed seals, and the power of merit surged, easily suppressing the ominous aura.
However, the peace did not last long, as a rapid and strange knock on the door broke the silence of the night.
Father Li's expression instantly became solemn. His intuition told him that the thing outside the door was definitely not a good thing.
A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he forced himself to remain calm and held tightly to Mother Li beside him.
"Yan'er, what did you see?" His voice was low and rapid.
Song Jiao's face also looked unhappy. She slowly turned her head, her eyes penetrating the crack in the door and meeting the bright red dress outside the door.
"It's the woman in red clothes..." Song Jiao's words stopped abruptly because she saw the familiar purple bug wriggling between the ghost girl's eyebrows.
Soul parasite! Immortality.
Song Jiao exclaimed in disbelief, and the power of merit in her hand almost uncontrollably condensed into a sharp lightsaber, instantly piercing through the door panel and pointing directly at the female ghost's forehead.
The female ghost let out a shrill scream, and then, in the horrified gaze of everyone, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into thin air.
Father Li watched the female ghost mysteriously disappear before his eyes. His pupils suddenly shrank and he turned to Song Jiao with an expression of disbelief: "Did you do that just now?" His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously shocked by this sudden change.
Song Jiao nodded gently, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "Well, I just found out today. Mom and Dad, you two should stand together quickly."
As she spoke, she lifted a slender finger, and a faint golden light emanated from her palm. As if drawn by an invisible force, it landed precisely on Mr. and Mrs. Li. "This is the light of merit. It will protect your lifespans and prevent that evil creature from easily absorbing your energy."
Father Li felt a warm current surge through his body. The fatigue and weakness he had felt from the ghost's intrusion miraculously dissipated, and he felt refreshed. He looked at Song Jiao in amazement, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement: "Yan'er, you...how do you have this ability?"
