"Hunting mark?" I asked quickly.

"Yes, it is what is left on the arm of the little girl surnamed Zhang. It is the hunting mark of the master. Once she gets this mark, the master will treat her as prey. No matter where she runs to, she will not escape the bad luck until she is hunted and killed. If you have not seen this mark, perhaps what you said tonight were just some lies, but you clearly saw it, and from what you heard, it seems that there is a trend of fission and expansion. From this, we can know that the master has already been awakened, and you just said shamelessly that it is okay to just muddle through? Isn't this a joke?" The old voice said again.

"Senior, I don't understand. Since you live in modern times, how could you think of serving an evil spirit? And now you hope that we, your compatriots, will die?" Yunwen asked.

"What do you know? Science can't save my life, it will only make my body decay day by day. Only my master can keep me alive forever! As for why I want you to die, I don't understand. I am following orders, including coming here to teach the Miss Song, to use the machine and pretending to be her sister. It is all the master's will. It wants me to find you and keep an eye on you, but now you have a mark, so I don't need to watch you." said the old voice.

I had heard about this once before when Bai Lu was arguing with me, and now I have basically figured it out. This evil spirit came when Bai Lu was about to use the robot, in order to find Yunwen for her master and keep an eye on Yunwen. By chance, she taught Bai Lu how to use the robot and successfully sneaked in as Yingchun.

But this made me wonder two things: why did it help me defend the city? And why did it invade alone, and not on a full moon night?

"In order to prolong your life, you wanted all the members of the scientific expedition team to be buried with you?" Yunwen asked.

"I just told them that there is a treasure there, and they couldn't resist and followed me. People die for money and birds die for food. This truth has been going on since ancient times. You can't blame me." said the old man.

"Treasure? Who would believe you and come all the way to such a remote island to dig for treasure? Since they are scientific researchers, they are not fools. If you don't provide some real information, will they believe your lies? This is not the thinking habit of normal people. Even if it is between relatives, I would be suspicious if you talked about going to look for treasure, let alone a few colleagues. So this paragraph is either made up by you, or you only said half of it." I said.

"Yes, you are very smart. The treasure does exist, otherwise how could I deceive them? As for the other situations of my master, you can forget about it. I'm leaving. See you later." The old voice spoke again, and then with a bang, the window upstairs was opened.

The three of us hurried upstairs to take a look, only to see Bai Lu lying on the ground, and there was some black sticky substance on the wall on the other side of the window, which was the smell of the prison.

We carried Bailu to the bed. Her face was now pale and it seemed that after that thing left her body, she became even more fragile.

At this moment, the oil lamp was still lit. Yunwen also lifted her sleeves and smelled the wound. She sighed and said, "It's the same smell. Sister Bailu also has that sour smell on her body now. It seems to be... something that I can't describe, but it feels a little familiar."

"You mean sweat?" I asked.

Yunwen nodded immediately. These smells are similar to human sweat. Human sweat is mostly composed of water, sodium chloride, urea, lactic acid, fatty acids, etc., so it has a special smell. This black ** also has this smell, and it is more sour and smelly. Although it looks like a black sticky substance, the viscosity is not high, so it is true that it is some kind of body secretion.

I couldn't help but feel cold. What on earth was imprisoned in this prison? It relied on secretions to form a special evil spirit, but claimed to be born from resentment. It also relied on this acidic secretion to leave the so-called hunting mark on Yunwen's arm, and also relied on secretions to identify prey. Moreover, its secretions can make some people become immortal "attachments". So what exactly could this thing be?

I remember that I have been to that place of imprisonment. I remember that there was black air floating everywhere, and it was extremely cold and gloomy. However, the black air never left any sticky substance behind when it passed by, but at this moment, the attachment that left left a sticky substance. It can be seen that there is an essential difference between black air and evil spirits. Although black air also has consciousness, it cannot harm people, it just makes people feel gloomy and cold, while evil spirits have physical consciousness and can attach to external objects.

This reminds me of those lizard men. They look weird, with human faces on lizard bodies. Since these sticky substances are the secretions from that guy's body, could it be that those lizard men are the lice on its body?

Originally, I had the mentality that I could just resist it a little, but now I seem to realize how terrifying it is. It requires not only immortal objects to enlighten the goat, but also countless prison dragon trees to tie it up. Any secretions can attach to it and become evil spirits. The place where it is is full of evil spirits. Especially now that I think of those ruins and the square pillars forming a pagoda temple, could it be a demon-suppressing pagoda? But it collapsed.

It would be unnecessary to go to so much trouble to trap an object, unless it was something shocking.

I remember that the ghost master once said that those lizardmen were not the trapped things. Mei Sanniang already felt that it was difficult to deal with them, let alone their master? Now let's keep all the clues. When I think about it, the old woman's feeling that I am optimistic and ridiculous is not without reason.

"Well, it seems to be sweat!" Yunwen said.

"Ling Shang, you know something about this, so tell me what is imprisoned in that prison. After all, the senior attached to Bai Lu said that the mark on Yunwen's body has changed, which is a sign that the imprisoned master has awakened. It also left a hunting mark on Yunwen, isn't it targeting Yunwen? If it is true as the old senior said, then we are really in great danger, and those defensive equipment are just ridiculous." I said.

"Zhou Lang, I don't know what that thing is either, but thirty years ago, that place was a tower-like temple, and some gods were worshipped there. It was not until the so-called investigators came here to destroy it that black gas flew everywhere, leading to the current situation. So I don't know what is underneath, but after the temple was booming that day, I heard a loud roar from underground, the sound shook the sky, the sun and the moon tilted, all things were afraid and avoided it, the entire island was plunged into chaos, the mountains shook and the earth trembled, it can be seen that it is indeed an extraordinary thing." Ling Shang said.

Yunwen sighed and sat on the ground. She looked unhappy and frowned. She said, "It all started because I took a look at the mountain. This disaster has happened."

I sat down next to her and patted her shoulder gently. She glanced at me and saw that her lips were pale and her body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that she was frightened by Ling Shang's words. She leaned on my shoulder and I touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, we will live and die together. Besides, since ancient times, good has never triumphed over evil. We must believe that there is still a possibility of getting through it. Even if it is slim, it is still a hope, isn't it?"

Yunwen nodded, raised three fingers, then closed them one by one, as if three days had passed in the blink of an eye. She said, "Today has passed, tomorrow is a day, the day after tomorrow is half a day, after all, it's night, the moon is full, we can't avoid what's coming, but can we build the ancestral hall in one day?"

"Ancestral hall? Why do you mention this?" I asked.

"Time is running out. Before we are all torn to pieces, I think we should formally marry you and become your legitimate wife. That way, even if I die, I will belong to you, Zhou Bo, and be a ghost of the Zhou family." Yunwen said.

I was slightly stunned, and Lingshang said, "Yes, Zhou Lang, since you have accepted Sister Yunwen as your queen, you should listen to the time she chooses for you and these matters. After all, this is her duty."

Listening to Lingshang's agreement, it seemed that she also knew that she might not even be able to escape from this disaster, so she didn't think much about it. She wanted to marry me like Yunwen and then die together. Everything has come to this point, what else is there to say?

"Okay, I will marry you so that neither of us will have any regrets. If we can enjoy a moment of family happiness as husband and wife, it will be better than just being verbal titles now. Tomorrow we will build an ancestral hall, and then worship heaven and earth together as husband and wife." I said.
