In the parking lot, Bai Jing's expression also changed. She gritted her teeth and continued to speak, her voice hoarse and almost growling: "What do you mean? Do you know what you can get as the patriarch of the Bai family? How much fame and connections -"
"Sister Jing?" Hearing this, Bai Shi also found something wrong. He looked at Bai Jing, and then looked at Chi Shen nervously.
Chi Shen ignored them and took a step towards the darkness.
Bai Shi looked at the person who came with him again. The person nodded, and together with Bai Shi, pulled Bai Jing into the car.
"You really won't regret it!" Bai Jing was still shouting before being stuffed into the carriage, "Do you know what you are giving up?"
"I'm sorry." Bai Shi said in a low voice, took out a sachet in his hand and waved it in front of Bai Jing, and Bai Jing fell asleep.
"We have to leave," the person next to Bai Shi reminded him after dragging Bai Jing into the carriage, "If we take too long, Bai Ximing will find us."
Bai Shi thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he looked at Chi Shen: "Sister Jing is not right tonight. Sorry, Brother Shen, let's take her away first. You...you really don't want to leave with us?"
Chi Shen was about to walk into the lightless darkness of the underground parking lot, and he did not answer Bai Shi's question.
There was a moment of silence in the parking lot.
In this silence, wind blew in from the entrance of the parking lot, and a slight sound came from the darkness. It was the sound of something light and crisp falling to the ground.
“Click.”
The sound was extremely subtle, but it was heard very clearly in this quiet moment. It seemed like the thing rolled on the ground and was then held down by someone.
"Long time no see." Chi Shen grinned and smiled at the darkness. This was not the polite and friendly smile he had practiced many times, but a nasty and excited smile that he had never shown in front of anyone. It was the smile he once showed when facing the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the death game.
At the same time, black energy moved in his hand like a snake, and a strange sword appeared in his hand.
Bai Shi, who was looking at Chi Shen's direction, was alarmed at the moment. He immediately shouted, "Drive! Hurry! Go!"
"What--"
"Don't ask, I don't know either, run!"
With a "squeak", the tires rolled over the road, the vehicle turned sharply ninety degrees, and sped towards the gate of the parking lot.
Bai Shiyou was still in shock.
Just now, when the car lights swept across, he saw something in the darkness. He was not sure what it was, and it even looked weird, but it was very normal compared to other ghost phenomena he had seen.
There was only a woman sitting in the darkness, sewing something in her hands.
The distance and the flashing light prevented him from seeing the needle and thread, but from the movement, he was sure that she was sewing something!
Sewing something with needle and thread in a place without light, is that thing a human or a ghost?
And how dangerous could the person be who could make Chi Shen say "long time no see" and then immediately draw his weapon?
Bai Shi didn't dare to think about it too much.
"hello."
Sitting in the corner of the parking lot was a woman, who was extremely beautiful, wearing a delicate red and black close-fitting dress, with gorgeous makeup on her face. The woman was holding a needle and thread in her hand, and she was smiling as she sewed something in her hand, a cloth doll, a little bigger than a palm, which looked very delicate. From the finished part, it could be seen that she was sewing a doll of an adult man.
And what she used as thread was human hair.
At her feet, there was a cardboard box containing many such dolls, including men, women, old and young. A name was sewn on each doll. The one on top was a girl's doll with the words "Bai Jing" sewn on its body.
Behind her, there were some paper figures and some plastic models, each of which was made very delicately. The sound of something falling just now was the sound of a half-made paper skull falling to the ground, and this paper skull was supported by a cloth doll and was being pushed towards the woman little by little.
The woman looked up and down at Chi Shen as if she were looking at an object, but gave him a friendly smile, and her red lips curved into a beautiful arc: "Well...you've gained a little weight, but you look better, and more to my liking."
Chi Shen didn't say anything, but immediately swung the Mo Dao in his hand, and a dark blade light slashed towards the woman!
The woman covered her mouth with the hand holding the needle, her eyes curved downward, and she smiled in a very delicate posture. She did not move, nor did she try to avoid the dark light of the knife. The dark light of the knife went straight through her body, and her body was split into two halves. Her upper body leaned back due to inertia, but the smile at the corner of her eyes did not disappear, and even the movement of covering her mouth did not change.
In just a second, the separated bodies were connected again, and she sat back again, still looking as beautiful and bright as ever.
At the same time, one of the paper figures behind her separated into two parts and fell down. A faint blue flame began to burn on the paper figure. The flame came strangely and burned rapidly, quickly engulfing the entire paper figure. However, it did not spread to the paper figures next to it at all. Those paper figures did not even show any signs of being blackened by the flames.
"You know it's useless," the woman smiled. "Consider becoming my collection. You are the most perfect person I have ever seen. I will give you the most prominent position in my display case. Don't worry, I won't make you suffer. After all, that wouldn't look good."
Chi Shen looked at her expressionlessly: "Fang Man, how many people have you killed?"
——
On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Gangcheng, Zhong Yi stood high up. He looked particularly weak in the cold wind and it seemed like he would be blown off at any time. He stood holding the fence of the rooftop and looked in all directions of Gangcheng.
As the descendant of a ghost-exorcist family, even though he was far away, he could still see the ghostly aura rising from the city. He looked into the distance with worry, and turned back to ask Zhang Yao beside him: "Do we still have to stand here?"
"Yes." Zhang Yao answered, tilted her head slightly, and leaned towards the man beside her.
"Brother Shen met Fang Man." The man said.
Zhang Yao nodded: "Fang Man's ability is a bit troublesome for Brother Shen. It will bother Brother Shen for a while, but it will be fine."
"Who is Fang Man?" Bai Wan asked from the side. She was also worried about Chi Shen's situation. When she heard that someone else might cause trouble to Chi Shen, she asked.
"We were... friends?" Zhang Yao said, her tone was very hesitant when she said friends, "We have been through a lot together, but people will always change after going through a lot. I didn't stop her at the time, and later we drifted further and further apart."
Zhang Yao seemed a little tired after talking so much in one breath. She took a break and spoke again, "At first, she just liked to collect dolls, those beautiful dolls that she could control as she wished. Later, one time, we met a man who made paper dolls. She learned how to make paper dolls there, how...how to inject the souls of living people into paper dolls. Later, she figured out a way to inject souls into the dolls she liked. Those dolls that move and laugh made her very happy."
Hearing this, the man next to Zhang Yao remained calm, while Zhong Yi's expression changed: "Inject the soul of a living person?"
"Yes." Zhang Yao said, "At that time, my ability was not enough to see so far into the future. New friends who joined us kept disappearing. We investigated for a long time but got no results. That was until Brother Shen saw the doll in Fang Man's hand crying. The doll looked exactly like our new friend when it was crying."
"Brother Shen asked her, and she told him that the newcomer had bad intentions. She saw it, so she killed the newcomer and put the newcomer in her own doll. We were almost in a desperate situation at the time and needed help from anyone. We also found out that the newcomer wanted to harm us, so we didn't do anything to her."
"But later, I saw the future and I knew everything," Zhang Yao paused for a moment and did not speak for a long time.
Bai Wan thought she was tired and said, "Take a rest and tell us later. Don't worry. We are not that curious."
Zhang Yao smiled and said, "It's okay. I haven't spoken for a long time. I want to speak today. Otherwise, I feel like my language ability has deteriorated."
Although she was weak, she looked cute when she was joking, with a playfulness that was only suitable for her age.
"Let's stop here," the man behind her suddenly said, "You are tired."
"I'm in good spirits," Zhang Yao said, "some things should be said. I probably won't have the chance to tell others in the future, so let's finish it tonight. What I say won't have any impact, it won't be like a butterfly's wings."
Hearing this, Zhong Yi realized something and looked towards her.
Zhang Yao smiled slightly, and said in a distant tone: "I know everything, but I didn't say it. I know how many people she has killed and how many more she will kill in the future, but I didn't tell Brother Shen, nor did I tell anyone else. She followed us all the way to the end."
Hearing this, the man behind her did not show any surprise. He just looked at her with some worry in his eyes, but mostly silence.
"Do you know our ability? I can see every future... In the future I see, if we want to leave the place that traps us, Fang Man must be alive. She is very important."
Bai Wan was stunned, but she didn't say anything.
Zhong Yi seemed to have some thoughts about this, but he also kept his mouth shut.
"Isn't it surprising?" Zhang Yao smiled, "This is the sin that people who can see the future have to bear."
