Chapter 206 The Demon Lord Digs a Hole
Back in bed, she stretched comfortably, intending to continue sleeping. But when she reached out, she found something fluffy. Lifting the blanket, she was stunned to find it was the plush toy! Bao Shuoyu was completely bewildered.
That shouldn't be the case. She wasn't far from this room just now. If Bao Shuoyu had gone out, she would definitely have seen him. But now, he's not here at all!
She suddenly remembered that dream again, and that unpleasant feeling returned.
That shadowy figure! Could it be that shadowy figure who took Bao Shuoyu away?
No, that shadowy figure was powerful enough to take Bao Shuoyu away silently.
Yu Xiaolu frowned, summoned three little demons, and ran outside. She saw that everything outside was still a vast expanse of white and eerily quiet, except that the heavy snow had stopped.
"Master, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" the three little demons asked, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
"Brother Shuoyu is missing. Search everywhere, including the temple. Report to me immediately if you find anything. Just let me know and don't do anything rash."
"good."
After saying that, the three little demons disappeared in a flash.
Yu Xiaolu didn't know why, but she couldn't help but look towards the front door. The door was tightly closed; it had been closed after they came in.
So it looked very quiet there.
Yu Xiaoluo remained silent for a while, then walked towards the door.
It was still very quiet, without any sound. The surroundings were dark, except for the light reflected from the snow, which prevented everything from being completely pitch black.
Yu Xiaoluo opened the heavy metal door with a creak, and snow from the ceiling fell softly onto her hair and clothes. However, she remained oblivious to it all, because she saw a dark figure, a dark figure standing not far away.
He stood there quietly, motionless, holding a long-tasseled spear in his hand.
The long spear stood straight and tall, just like him.
The spearhead wasn't supporting any person or any paper figure.
When Yu Xiaoluo saw the smooth gun barrel, she didn't know why, but she suddenly let out a heavy sigh of relief. However, she wasn't particularly relaxed because Bao Shuoyu hadn't been found yet.
She came to Kunshan for Bao Shuoyu; if he disappears, she won't go back.
We must find Bao Shuoyu, whether he is alive or dead.
Yu Xiaoluo approached a little closer and discovered that the man in black was not masked, and his face was mutilated, with no eyes, just two dark and terrifying black holes. But he was not a ghost.
This is a zombie? And a very high-level zombie at that?
In this icy, snowy place, there are actually zombies, a zombie that wields a red-tasseled spear?
This is naturally very strange.
"What are you doing standing here?" Yu Xiaoluo asked coldly.
The black-clad zombie turned its head, seemingly listening intently to her voice, then pulled something out of its pocket and stuffed it into its eye socket.
Yu Xiaoluo understood; they were two dark blue glass spheres.
The glass ball spun in his eyes a few times, seemed to fit, and then he looked at Yu Xiaoluo.
“I am the temple keeper here.” His voice was hoarse and low, with a crackling echo, as unpleasant and grating as a broken gong.
"Have you seen my companion?"
"Companions?" The temple keeper was taken aback.
"Since you are the temple keeper, and my companion disappeared in your temple, aren't you responsible?"
The temple keeper was even more stunned. Although Yu Xiaoluo's words sounded a bit unreasonable, they were not without reason. Since you are the one guarding this place, there is no reason why you should not know about the people coming and going.
He said in a deep voice, "This temple is not allowed to be inhabited."
"What are you saying, sir? You didn't chase us away when we arrived."
"That's because I had to leave."
"What does your leaving have to do with me? Just tell me, did you see my friend?"
The temple-guarding zombie paused for a moment, then said, "You called me 'Grandpa'—your friend—"
His mind seemed a little slow to catch up, but after thinking for a while, he answered seriously, "I just got back and didn't see your friend."
Yu Xiaoluo looked at the somewhat honest and unassuming temple-guarding zombie and felt a bit of a headache. If he hadn't seen it, then was Bao Shuoyu going to leave for a while?
But is it really that coincidental that it only took a short time?
"Hey, old man—"
"I'm only forty."
"Okay, uncle, did you come in just now?"
"No, I told you I just got back, and besides, I'm a temple keeper, I only stay outside."
He just stays outside? So he never comes in?
Who was that strange dark figure just now?
Why are you guarding this place? Why does this place need to be protected?
Isn't this a problem? The temple-guarding zombie's mind is a little slow to grasp the situation. "This place is dangerous. No unauthorized personnel allowed."
Yu Xiaoluo's eyes darted around. "How dangerous is it?"
"There is a vengeful spirit."
"A vengeful spirit?"
"Yes, it's a kind of spirit. It has no definite physical form. It can be a shadow, a gust of wind, or it can possess any object."
Uh, could the dark figure we saw earlier have been a vengeful spirit?
"It can kill people?"
"Yes."
"So you're the temple keeper, huh? You seem pretty powerful. If something like this exists, why don't you kill the vengeful spirit? Uncle, that's not very ethical of you."
The temple-guarding zombie paused again. "Wraiths can only be subdued, not killed. Moreover, the vengeful spirits here are a collection of resentment from many souls that died in the snowy mountains; they died unwillingly."
"Just because you're not satisfied doesn't mean you can kill others! Tell me now, where is the vengeful spirit? I need to find it!"
"You won't find it. It has no physical form, yet it can be any form. It floats in the air like air; you can't see it, and it can attach itself to any entity. Go find it yourself."
Yu Xiaoluo really wanted to curse. She had spent so much time arguing with this dead man, and it was all for nothing. It was a complete waste of time.
"Uncle, where am I supposed to find my friend? At least give me a hint, and stop spouting nonsense!"
The temple-guarding zombie pondered for a moment, "Observe carefully, something has changed—no, no—it might have possessed your friend, your friend will be different. But vengeful spirits have one hobby, they like to burrow—"
"Drilling through holes?" Yu Xiaoluo's eyes widened. This wasn't a vengeful spirit, it was a rat!
She said no more and returned to the temple, where she heard the voice of the temple-guarding zombie, "Once you find the person, you must leave immediately! Otherwise—"
Yu Xiaoluo ignored him and summoned back the three little demons. "Go find a cave right now. Don't let any cave go undiscovered. Brother Shuoyu might have gone to dig a cave."
