i have a museum of curiosities

The inexplicable death of the lower-level spirit body caused some damage to Zhang Ye's spirit. Although Ling Xiaotao had helped him onto the sofa and lay down at this moment, his head felt like it was about to split open, and even his nostrils and ears There is already blood flowing out.

Ling Xiaotao was obviously panicked, she took out blue talismans that she had never seen before in a panic and stuck them on his forehead, then muttered something.

"Hey... I'm not a zombie, why did you stick a talisman on me?" Zhang Ye joked with a smile, but his voice was weak, which made Ling Xiaotao more worried.

Seeing that Ling Xiaotao didn't speak, Zhang forced a smile, and comforted him, "Those two spirits were just looking for you. It's best if you're fine."

Ling Xiaotao bit her lower lip lightly, then asked in a low voice, "Does your head still hurt?"

Zhang Ye grinned, and said weakly, "It's much better."

"You're lying." Ling Xiaotao pouted and said, "'Healing Talisman' is for treating traumatic injuries, but Shenhun's injuries can't be healed."

Zhang Ye chuckled, wiped off the nosebleed with his hands, and said, "Look, the bleeding has stopped."

Ling Xiaotao pursed her lips and said nothing, but found out a handkerchief from nowhere, and gently wiped off the remaining blood on Zhang Ye's face.

Seeing Ling Xiaotao worrying about him, Zhang Ye suddenly felt warm in his heart, and a wordless throbbing quietly grew.

"You said... the spirit body was killed to make it like this? Then the spirit body you summoned is entangled with your soul?" Ling Xiaotao couldn't help asking back with a frown.

"Uh...it's not that complicated..." Zhang Ye stretched out his right hand and raised his wrist in front of Ling Xiaotao's eyes (well, in front of Liu Hai), motioning her to look at "Xilei Jinling".

"Do you remember this string of bells?" Zhang Ye asked with a smile.

Ling Xiaotao snorted suddenly and turned her head away.

"Isn't this a thank you gift from that little Yinling girl? You still have it! It seems that you care about that little Yinling girl."

Hearing Ling Xiaotao's angry words, Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud, and then hurriedly coughed twice, and said seriously: "You are wrong! This is not a thank you gift from Ah Si, but a reward I got for completing the system tasks .”

Speaking of this, Zhang also really wanted to see Ling Xiaotao's face at the moment, but because her bangs were too long, she could only see the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

So Zhang didn't hold back anymore, and said directly: "This string of bells is called 'Xilei Jinling', and it can summon two lower-level spirits to help me fight. I used it to summon two lower-level spirits to find you of."

Ling Xiaotao let out a "huh" and immediately said, "A Si...you still remember that little girl's name. It seems that you really care about her..."

Zhang Ye: "..."

Although Ling Xiaotao's words made Zhang Ye very speechless, but at the same time seeing her seeming to be jealous, Zhang Ye felt a little more joy and sweetness in his heart.

What could be more pleasing than the opposite sex that you have a crush on also has a crush on you?

From the very beginning, the two chatted with each other but gradually began to have a tacit understanding.From their respective life trajectories to tonight's case, the two seem to be chatting more and more speculatively.

Until a familiar voice came from the door.

"Master? Are you in there? We're back."

"It's crack." Zhang also grinned at Ling Xiaotao.

During the previous chat, Ling Xiaotao naturally knew the process of Zhang Ye "subduing" the rip girl and naming her "Crack". It's just a fictional ghost story in a novel, so I'm relieved.

Lia Pie and Xiao Hei entered the room together, the moment they saw Ling Xiaotao, the two ghosts seemed a little surprised.

Although Zhang Ye was lying on the sofa, he keenly captured the changes in their expressions, but he thought for a while and didn't ask directly. Instead, he pointed to Ling Xiaotao with a smile and said, "This is my companion, you can call him She is Commander Ling."

"Sir?" Xiao Hei's reaction was obviously bigger, and the two people present could see the unnaturalness on his face.

Zhang also thought about it and understood: Xiao Hei was created according to the image of the murderer behind the scenes in "Conan", which can be said to represent evil.And "sir" is generally used to describe the police or soldiers, who are born to be the nemesis of evil!
Ling Xiaotao glanced at Zhang Ye, her thick bangs couldn't see her expression clearly, but the corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc inexplicably.

"Ling Sir." Li Lie obviously went further, and bowed slightly to Ling Xiaotao.

"Hello, crack." Ling Xiaotao nodded in response.

Lian Li couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Ye, his eyes were full of sadness.

You can guess it with your toes. Since Zhang Ye can tell everything about this kind of thing in detail, he must have an extraordinary affection for Ling Xiaotao.

Thinking of this, Lian Li's eyes became more and more sad.

"Zhang Ye, you can do it! You can't even let go of strange stories?" Ling Xiaotao almost gritted her teeth and said this sentence. At the same time, she put her hand lightly on Zhang Ye's waist, and then twisted it hard!
"hiss--"

Zhang Ye took a deep breath, saw the slightly puzzled expressions of Lian Li and Xiao Hei, and hurriedly said: "I was injured a little bit ago, and left some sequelae."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to cover his head, and let out two painful cries.

"Play, keep acting!" Ling Xiaotao viciously increased the strength of her hand.

"Huh—" Zhang Ye gritted his teeth tightly, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

"Master, are you alright?"

Liaili couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she hurriedly asked.

"Oh, no...the problem...it's not a big deal!" Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "By the way, you've been here for so long, have you found anything?"

Upon hearing Zhang Ye's question, Lia Li and Xiao Hei couldn't help but look at each other.Then Li Li took out a wooden stick about 30 cm long and as thick as a finger from her four-dimensional pocket.

To be precise, it was a white wooden stick that was broken in two.

"This is..." Zhang couldn't help asking curiously.

"This is Apo's magic wand." Xiao Hei explained, "Abo is the first ghost story created by Xu Caikun. He is a young wizard who died unjustly."

"Wizard? Wand?" Zhang couldn't help but frowned, and whispered, "Why did it become a fantasy novel..."

Xiao Hei seemed to see Zhang Ye's puzzlement, and explained: "I have been searching in this building since I received the master's order... the trace of Mr. Ling, and I accidentally ran into someone trapped by some kind of force. Abo in the underground garage. I think we are all strange stories created by Xu Caikun. He knows more than us, so I plan to help him out of trouble..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hei's expression instantly showed a trace of disgust and deep fear.

"At this time, 'it' appeared!"

Although Xiao Hei tried his best to control it, Zhang Ye saw that the black mist around his body kept surging, and his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

"Who is he? What happened?" Zhang Ye subconsciously asked.

Lia Li glanced at Xiao Hei, and said, "Master, let me speak."

"You were there at the time?"

Zhang couldn't help being a little puzzled. The mission he gave Lian Li and Xiao Hei was different, so the two could still collide?Is it too much of a coincidence?
Lian Li's eyes dodged a little, but she still took the initiative to explain: "When I received the master's order, I immediately thought of Abo. The reason is the same as what Xiao Hei said. I can sense other The breath of strange talk, so Xiao Hei found Abo first.

"But as Xiao Hei said, Apo was trapped in the underground garage by a very powerful force. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't help him get out. Later, Xiao Hei arrived, and I thought that the two of us might be able to Try it. As a result... 'it' came..."

Speaking of this, Lian Li's eyes also showed deep fear.

Zhang didn't speak either, but gave Lia Li an encouraging look.

Crack nodded, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know who 'it' is...or what it is. Not only do I not know, I'm afraid that Xiao Hei, Abo, and all the weird stories written by Xu Caikun I don't even know!"

Xiao Hei nodded slowly, agreeing to Lian Li's remarks.

"'It' is like a dark, evil, emotionless shadow, but the evil of 'It' is more pure than distilled water, but more complex than light...'It' is like a wave with a strange mo The evil will body that measures power, in other words...'it' is very likely to be the final boss created by Xu Caikun!"

"Is there an entity?" Zhang Ye asked with a frown.

"Indistinct." Li Li replied, "When 'it' appears, you will be surrounded by boundless fear, and you can't see the appearance of 'it' at all."

Zhang also glanced at Ling Xiaotao, and asked, "According to Lian Li's description, what level of 'strange talk' do you think this 'it' is?"

"At least S rank." Ling Xiaotao said without hesitation.

"S-level?" Zhang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said depressedly, "What kind of case did you arrange for me... S-level, it sounds difficult!"

Ling Xiaotao pursed her lips, and then said slowly: "Zhang Ye, you rest for a while and we'll leave! This case...we won't investigate it!"

Ling Xiaotao's reaction was both reasonable and unexpected to Zhang Ye.

Lian Li and Xiao Hei's complexions suddenly collapsed.Especially Li Li, although she wears a thick mask and can only see a pair of beautiful big eyes, but her emotions can be expressed through these eyes.

Seeing their reaction, Zhang Ye shook his head at Ling Xiaotao and said, "This is just the beginning of the investigation, how can you give up so easily?"

"But the case involves S-level ghost stories!" Ling Xiaotao's voice suddenly rose, "This is beyond my ability and authority! I don't want...to let you get involved."

At this moment, an unknown demonic wind blew up, just like when Zhang Ye and his party first entered the Hongguang Community.

"There is an inexplicable demonic wind blowing in the room..." Zhang Ye stood up from the sofa, and then said in a deep voice, "It seems...that big boss doesn't want us to leave!"

Lia Li and Xiao Hei immediately retreated behind Zhang Ye, especially Xiao Hei, whose body trembled violently.

"'It'... 'It' is coming!"

Ling Xiaotao's lips were tightly pursed, and two blue charms appeared in her right hand at some point.

Zhang also took a look at her, put his arms around her shoulders boldly, and said in a low voice, "The other party is an S-level monster. If it insists on dealing with us, I'm afraid we are no match."

Ling Xiaotao was taken aback by Zhang Ye's actions, and subconsciously wanted to break free, but after hearing his words, she calmed down again.

"what do you mean……"

"Didn't Li Lie say that 'it' is a conscious body, which means that 'it' has its own thinking, and we have to try to communicate with 'it'." Zhang also lowered his voice.

"call--"

The evil wind became stronger in an instant, and Zhang Ye opened his arms to protect one person and two monsters behind him, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

At some point, a dark shadow appeared at the door.

The moment he looked at the shadow, Zhang also felt that his blood froze, and all the joy, joy, and happiness in his heart disappeared, and the emotion called "fear" began to breed.

Zhang Ye was inexplicably excited.

Because he never knew what "fear" was since he was a child, but now he feels it personally.

"Hey, can you understand me?" Zhang Ye suddenly shouted at the shadow.

The nameless chill became heavier and heavier, and Zhang also felt that his body seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties, and the sense of fear in his heart became more and more obvious.

"Hello?" Zhang shouted at the shadow again, unconvinced.

"...you...shouldn't have come..."

The gloomy voice seemed to hit Zhang Ye and Ling Xiaotao's hearts hard, as if the voice from Nine Nether Hell Prison, Lian Li and Xiao Hei had retreated to the corner of the room.

Zhang Yeqiang held back his fear, and hugged Ling Xiaotao, who was trembling, tightly in his arms, hoping to bring her a sense of security and warmth with his arms.

"We... want to find Xu Caikun! Do you know Xu Caikun?" Zhang Ye tried to open his mouth and shouted.

"...passed...the test...give...the answer..."

Zhang Ye was taken aback for a moment, the only reason left was to remind him that he could not easily agree to the so-called "test" of the other party, but now Ling Xiaotao's body has become very cold, if this continues, I'm afraid he will have to confess here!
The S-rank ghost story is really scary!It actually made me unable to raise my heart to resist!
Zhang Ye tried to run the "Innate Stellar Qi" in horror, but found that the "Innate Stellar Qi" in his body seemed to be suppressed by the terrifying aura emanating from the other party!
Zhang Ye gritted his teeth, before he had time to think about it, he shouted loudly: "I will take part in the test!"

"……very good……"

"call--"

The evil wind disappeared in an instant, and the terrified black shadow also disappeared together.

"Huh? 'It'... gone?"

Zhang also looked around in disbelief, but did not find "it".

Lia Li and Xiao Hei were already sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, Ling Xiaotao's body seemed to be limp in Zhang Ye's arms as if she had no bones. .

At this moment, Ling Xiaotao suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ye hurriedly supported her shoulder and asked.

Ling Xiaotao pointed at Zhang Ye's feet tremblingly, and said in horror, "You, your feet...disappeared!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ye looked down and was instantly dumbfounded—his legs below the knees had completely disappeared, and even his thighs had gradually begun to become transparent!

"How is this going?"

Zhang Ye exclaimed, and immediately thought of something, his face became bitter for a moment.

"This...is the 'test' in the mouth of 'it'!"

"what?"

Startled, Ling Xiaotao hurriedly reached out to touch Zhang Ye's legs, but there was nothing in her hands.

"Zhang Ye, you, you..." Ling Xiaotao said, and suddenly burst into tears.

Zhang Ye looked bitter, he hugged her tightly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Hey, don't be afraid! Since it's a 'test', there must be a way to pass it! I'm just going to perform a mission, don't cry for me , rest assured to wait for my return."

By the time Zhang Ye finished speaking, half of his body had become transparent.

"Owner!"

At this time, Lia Li also noticed the change in Zhang Ye, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhang Ye gave a forced smile helplessly, and said, "When I'm not around, please protect Commander Ling and wait for me to come back with peace of mind!"

Tears also flowed from the big cracked eyes.

"Master... you must come back!"

Zhang also nodded with a smile.

"must!"

As soon as the words fell, his head instantly became transparent...
