re before "jumping" down.My brother's acquaintance, Officer Lu, looked to be in his late twenties or early thirties. He was tall and imposing with sharp eyes. When he stood before me, radiating an air...“This is the biggest paranormal researcher gathering place on the internet, it's been around for over twenty years! There are over 80 million registered members!” The woman said to me excitedly, “I'm a popular streamer here! As soon as I go live, tens of thousands of fans from all over the world watch.”

"...Spectating Come to watch you play" I frowned.

"What's playfulness! This is research, I have a boss!" The woman felt her profession seen through and glared at me angrily.

Before I could reply, the atmosphere around me grew even colder, the temperature dropping several degrees. I shivered from the chill.

The woman and the fat man also shuddered violently, trembling their lips and rubbing their arms as they rummaged in their backpacks for jackets.

"How did it suddenly get so cold... Hey, forest ranger, how high is the elevation of this mountain Why does the temperature drop so drastically at night" The fat man randomly put on a padded hooded jacket, looking like a wall.

"You guys better get down the mountain, there's nothing exciting here. Wandering around on this mountain in the middle of the night is just plain ridiculous." I frowned and scolded them.

Perhaps it was this sudden drop in temperature, making my voice a bit sharp. This man and woman suddenly turned their heads to look at me, their eyes widening, with disbelief and growing terror in their pupils.

What's wrong

I raised an eyebrow slightly, their gaze shifting from my face to the back of me.

What is behind me

"You... you... you... you really are a crow's mouth..." The fat man's face twitched, his face pale and trembling as he pointed behind me.

What Trying to scare me

Over the years, I've seen countless demons and ghosts. I'm not afraid of you guys.

I half-turned, and saw Jiang Qiyun's faint afterimage behind me gradually growing larger and fainter. It seemed to be being diluted by some kind of aura, and his figure became somewhat blurry.

It seems like something has been "let out".

I secretly pinch the seal, silently reciting the treasured incantation.

Just as I had gotten a foothold, a gust of wind, like an arrow, burst through the air and exploded beside me!

Jiang Qiyun's illness came on as suddenly as lightning. He materialized, his brow furrowed slightly as he glanced around. "...What happened"

"You..." Came too quickly, didn't it

Could it be that because I was flustered and jumped headfirst into another world before, it also made him worried

I hadn't had time to explain when the couple suddenly screamed, "There's... there's a ghost!!!"

Which ghost dares to come out

What did they see

"You, you, you! There's a ghost face behind you!" The woman trembled as she pulled out a square pouch from her chest, holding it up like an amulet.

"Whose talisman is that" I didn't understand, this charm didn't look like a common standard.

Jiang Qiyun was too lazy to waste words. With a flick of her slender fingers, a gust of wind like a blade cut through the air, severing the amulet's string and sending it flying straight into my hand.

"There's, there's a ghost! That woman is a ghost!" The fat man shouted, protecting the alluring woman and jumping down from the earthen slope with lightning speed, his hand clamped under his ribs.

Here it was very steep, and they screamed as they tumbled down the slope into a deep, thick tangle of grass, their voices growing fainter, as if rolling far away.

I looked at the amulet in my palm, scratched my face with my hand, and it felt much clearer now.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "This kind of annoying outsider, just scare them away, why bother talking to them."

"I want to know who's behind them. She just mentioned a 'water pipe', which seems to be an old, overseas paranormal website. I'm afraid it's full of all sorts, and there are some shady figures pushing things behind the scenes."

Jiang Qiyun said lightly, "The thoughts of good and evil in the world arise everywhere. How much can you control Just deal with the matter at hand."

"Hmm." I nodded, picking up the flashlight that had fallen into the grass and carefully examining the amulet in my hand.

This amulet was a pouch, square and sturdy, with a bright yellow base. On its surface was black embroidery that wasn't particularly rare or unique, but on the back was an inscription of the character “狩” (hunt).

"Is there anything inside" Jiang Qiyun asked.

I pulled open the mouth of the sewn-up pouch with force, only to find it was empty, containing nothing at all.

"Where are the ghosts around here Ghosts run away when they see you, why are you saying I'm a ghost" I was a little baffled.

Jiang Qiyun also slightly furrowed his brows, he thought for a moment and said: "Just now, that woman said there's a ghost face behind you"

I turned my head to look at her shoulder: "What's with the sour face Isn't that your disguise Didn't they see you"

This guess isn't impossible. Just now, Jiang Qiyun appeared behind me, and they immediately shouted "Ghost! Ghost!" and so on... Could it be that they could see Jiang Qiyun

But Jiang Qiyun, how could he look like a ghost With such a handsome and ethereal appearance, even if he were a ghost, he wouldn't be frightening.

Or... is this just their "show effect"

"Could they be acting Maybe they're really into their roles and started putting on a show" I speculated.

Jiang Qiyun bent down and touched the half-exposed stone slab, shaking his head and saying: "… This place is unusual."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "The ominous aura appearing in the mountain valley indicates that this place has been contaminated for quite some time. Recently, disasters have been frequent in the human world, causing shifts in the energy field. Every mountain gate is closed, and doors are bolted shut. Monks, Daoists, and ordinary people alike are hiding in their homes. Many places have suddenly become deserted."

"With evil qi rising and righteous qi weakening, these places that were once suppressed by energy fields are beginning to break free. In the coming period, there will likely be more and more of such places." Jiang Qiyun raised his hand, flicked his two fingers, and sent the half-broken stele flying out.

It was originally loosely inserted into the soil at a slant. It was just tripped out by the fat man and hidden under some loose, withered twigs and leaves. Jiang Qiyun shook away the dust around it, and that half-broken stone tablet lay quietly there.

I picked it up and ran my fingers over it. The stone was icy cold, with a black mark at the base that seemed to radiate a faint aura of resentment, refusing to dissipate.

"There are strange markings here..." I pointed to Jiang Qiyun, those black edges had incomprehensible patterns.

"...Don't you think it resembles the fabric of the clothes worn by that withered child corpse" Jiang Qiyun frowned.

"That said, it's kind of..."

"Could this be the clue Yin Su Bai is looking for" I suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

The demons are running rampant because Yin Su Bai is searching for the true spirit summoning talisman, right If I could find it, wouldn't that drive the demons back and lessen the evil in the world

"Well, let's go." Jiang Qiyun took a step forward and reached out his hand to me, wanting to lead me down the slope.

"Keep walking down this path There's no path here..." I was puzzled.

"Yes." Jiang Qiyun nodded firmly.

"I just heard those men and women talking, saying there's a secret path here, but with all these weeds, how are we supposed to find it" Although I was a little doubtful, I still reached out and took Jiang Qiyun's hand, following him.

He walked to the place where the couple had rolled down, and said faintly: "… Isn't there already a path here"

Down the steep slope, weeds and shrubs seemed to have been flattened by a bulldozer, trampled into a path by men and women.

"...Alright, okay."to know what he looks like!"Sis, have you seen a man that tall and strong in the past few years He wears a black mask and has hair like this...""Little Lu, are you chasing a TV series Now, where do yo...
