Inside the Zhang family building.
Corpses were everywhere, and the stench of blood permeated the air.
Jiang Yuan stopped after chasing for a while.
She closed her eyes, then opened them again, her red pupils turning golden as she scanned the entire floor, finally fixing her gaze on a corner not far away.
She strode over, and the closer she got, the clearer the sound of crying became.
Soulfire rushed ahead of her towards the sound of crying, paving the way for Jiang Yuan.
As the soul fire drew near, Jiang Yuan saw a small child huddled in the corner, knees bent, hands on knees for support, face buried in the ground, his small body moving slightly.
He was sobbing.
The little boy heard footsteps and looked up.
Under the illumination of the soul fire, a beautiful and fair face came into Jiang Yuan's view. His eyes were filled with tears, and he looked pitiful and helpless.
Judging from his physique, he is no more than five years old.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Child?
How come there are children here?
"Sister, sister, my feet hurt... my feet hurt..." the little boy said.
After speaking, his gaze fell on his injured foot.
His feet were red, swollen, and the skin was broken.
It looks like he twisted his ankle while trying to escape.
“Carry me, carry me…” the little boy said again.
After saying this, he stretched out his little hand and waved it in the air, waiting for Jiang Yuan to carry him on her back.
Jiang Yuan squatted down in front of the little boy, followed his gaze to his feet, then looked up at him and said, "Is it just your feet that hurt? I feel like your whole body should be in more pain."
“Monster.” Jiang Yuan said coldly, her thin lips barely moving.
The little boy's expression changed slightly; the pitiful helplessness in his eyes instantly turned into surprise.
Its eyes seemed to say, "How did she recognize it when it performed so perfectly?"
Before the monster could react, Jiang Yuan reached out and pressed down on the fair and cute face it had conjured, then slammed it against the wall behind it.
Bang--
The wall is dented.
In an instant, soul fire burst forth from the other's face with a whoosh, burning fiercely.
The monster screamed as it burned, and its once lovely face quickly turned back into a smear.
The child's body also returned to its original wrinkled and patched appearance.
“Children are much better nutritious than adults. Fifty-eight adults have died, but you only twisted your ankle. That doesn’t make any sense in this building.”
"This building is covered in a layer of dust. Even if you only walk a few steps, your shoes or clothes will get dusty to some extent, but you are spotless."
"And no matter how well you hide it, you will still have some ethereal aura about you."
"Most importantly, if you are truly human, then your name will surely appear in the Book of Life and Death."
Jiang Yuan pressed down hard on the other person's face and said coldly.
A child's soul is pure. If an adult and a child are placed in front of a vengeful ghost, the ghost will know to choose the child.
Therefore, if a child steps into this place, the child will surely die first.
Its disguise is subpar in every way.
It's a disguise that can be seen through at a glance.
The monster seemed surprised to have so many flaws, which were immediately exposed.
The monster raised its hand, but was repelled by a golden light just as it was about to grab Jiang Yuan's wrist.
Its hand felt like it had been electrocuted, tingling and then turned black, emitting a burnt smell.
The face, burned by the soul fire, peeled away layer by layer, until finally the bone beneath the skin was revealed.
"Hiss... hiss..." The monster hissed, as if it was in great pain from being burned by the soul fire.
Jiang Yuan's eyes sharpened, and she muttered something under her breath.
Golden rays of light emanated from her wrist.
One after another, each more powerful than the last.
The monster seemed to know what Jiang Yuan was about to do, and its pupils dilated.
After crying out a few times and struggling in vain, it decisively severed its own head and burned hands once again.
When its head fell to the ground, it was consumed by the soul fire and burned to ashes.
At the same time, the golden light in Jiang Yuan's hand converged into a single beam and headed towards the monster at close range.
boom--
Rumble rumble—
The Zhang family building shook, and the surrounding walls and pillars cracked, as if it might collapse at any moment.
That sound resounded throughout the heavens.
The monster's body was blown to smithereens and collapsed along with the wall.
but--
Jiang Yuan could still sense the other person's ethereal aura.
Jiang Yuan looked up and saw a toe quickly running away.
While it was escaping, other parts of its body were slowly growing back.
It's fast and doesn't dare to waste time.
When he reached the window, he jumped out without hesitation.
The moment it leaped out, the array of Zhang's Building broke, and a ray of afterglow shone in through each window.
It added a splash of color to this otherwise dark place.
At the same time, several chaotic footsteps came from downstairs.
Jiang Yuan's golden eyes swept across the room, allowing her to see what was happening outside even through the wall.
It was the boy she had saved a few hours earlier.
He must have reported it to the police, which is why he brought them here.
The police officers seemed lazy and moved slowly, so slowly that the boy couldn't help but urge them, "Hurry up, Master Jiang is still inside!"
"Even someone hanging themselves needs to catch their breath, what's the point of rushing them?" the policeman said, dissatisfied.
After saying that, the boy led the policemen out of the Zhang family building.
The boy sensed something was wrong as soon as he stepped inside.
Sunlight is now streaming into the building!
Then, the boy cautiously reached out towards the door and found that he could reach out his hand and his body could also go out.
Has the formation been broken?
It must have been Master Jiang who did it!
The police officers were initially complaining, but they fell silent when they saw so many bodies lying in the building.
