Jun Li felt completely relaxed after teasing Bai Ze. He couldn't help humming a tune even while driving. Bai Ze ignored him and concentrated on eating strawberries. With a circle of cream on the corners of his mouth, he looked up at Jun Li.

Jun Li glanced at him, holding the steering wheel with one hand and pulling out a paper with the other: "Wipe your mouth, it's so dirty to eat so much."

"Oh."

After getting the strawberry tart, Bai Ze suddenly became very talkative. He obediently took the tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth and then threw it into the muddy road.

As expected, the way back to the castle far away from the downtown was so gloomy. Jun Li was not afraid. Anyway, he had a vengeful spirit as a bodyguard and he didn't believe that anything would dare to find him.

After driving for another fifteen minutes, Jun Li felt something was wrong and stepped on the brakes. Bai Ze almost lost his grip on the strawberry tower and a strawberry rolled onto the car.

"Hey!"

Bai Ze looked at the strawberries on the ground angrily and distressed, and glared at Jun Li, but he saw that his face was slightly gloomy and his expression was much more serious.

"Bai Ze..."

"It seems like we can't get out."

Jun Li unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, walked around, then squatted down and picked up the tissue that Bai Ze had used to wipe his mouth fifteen minutes ago.

Bai Ze's face turned cold at this time. He put the strawberry tart on the car and got out. He looked around for a long time and said, "A ghost wall."

Jun Li raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "What should we do now? Didn't you say that no evil spirits would come near us when you are here?"

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, seemingly unable to understand. He took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to feel in the air: "Theoretically, there will be no ghosts close to me..."

He walked around and groped in the air with his hand before he seemed to touch something. Then his eyes turned cold and the blue flame appeared in his palm again.

"boom!"

In an instant, it seemed as if something shattered. Jun Li had never seen such a scene in his life. The surrounding scene began to crack like broken glass, gradually making a "crackling" sound.

Then the scene where the two were trapped suddenly disappeared and was replaced by the lake in the middle of the road that blocked Jun Li's way when he first went to the castle.

Jun Li was about to speak when he saw the clear lake gurgling and surging as if it was boiling, as if something was about to appear out of nowhere.

The lake water became turbid and chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even a faint stench was floating in the air.

Jun Li covered his nose and stepped back a few steps, only to see Bai Ze standing very calmly by the lake with his hands in his pockets, looking indifferently at the lake surface that had become turbid and sticky.

The lake could no longer be considered a lake at this point. Foul-smelling garbage continued to surge on the surface of the water, and gradually even the remains of unknown animals began to emerge.

"Bai Ze..."

Bai Ze moved slightly and looked up at Jun Li as if to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The lake once again turned into a pool of bloody water emitting the stench of corpses, and the low whimper of a woman could be heard from it.

The sound was harsh and unpleasant. Although it was not loud, it hurt the eardrums. Bai Ze squatted down and inserted his smooth and slender fingertips into the foul-smelling blood, and then submerged his entire palm in the blood.

Jun Li swallowed and thought to himself: I must force him to wash his hands when I get home, and rub them with soap at least three times, otherwise he won't dare to hold my hand.

"Got you…"

Bai Ze grinned sinisterly and then exerted great force as if he had grabbed something. The surface of the lake churned even more violently as if something was struggling desperately to escape.

Bai Ze's veins bulged with effort, and his heart-wrenching howls echoed throughout the forest, startling a flock of crows that covered the night sky.

"Shh!"

The huge impact force came suddenly, and Bai Ze didn't stand firmly, but was grabbed by Jun Li's waist and slammed into his arms.

The woman's shrill screams accompanied by the surging blood seemed particularly strange and terrifying. Bai Ze gasped slightly, stood firm, and immediately kept a distance from Jun Li. What he was holding in his hand was a large piece of hideous hair dripping with blood, and the roots were still connected to the scalp.

"hiss…"

"It hurts to look at it."

Jun Li hurriedly asked Bai Ze to throw away the hair that was constantly wriggling and took a tissue to carefully wipe Bai Ze's soft fingertips that were stained with blood.

The hair struggled and squirmed as if it had life. As the lake gradually calmed down, a highly rotten hand stretched out from the water.

The hand embedded itself deeply into the mud, accompanied by a strange "crunching" sound of bones, and the prototype of the female ghost also appeared in front of Jun Li.

The wriggling scalp seemed to have found its owner and was desperately running towards the woman who was smelling all over and had pieces of flesh falling off her body.

The female ghost's face could not be seen clearly and her clothes were torn and almost soaked. Her stomach seemed to have been pierced from the inside out by something, and her lower abdomen was completely a big hole. Her intestines and something similar to an umbilical cord were dragging on the ground, dripping with blood.

When Bai Ze saw the female ghost appear, he stood in front of Jun Li and flames surged from his palms. His voice was still as cold and emotionless, but he blocked Jun Li behind him tightly.

"Finally you're willing to do it?"

The female ghost wailed and shrank as if she had no intention of attacking anyone. Bai Ze frowned slightly but still did not dare to let his guard down. The female ghost pointed at her broken belly with her pale fingertips, staring at the two of them with resentment and viciousness, whimpering softly.

"Want our help?"

Bai Ze snorted coldly, retracted the flame, and said unkindly: "Why should I help you?"

"White Pond."

Jun Li reached out and pulled his sleeve, hesitated for a moment and said, "What's wrong with her?"

"The child is lost, and she stopped us to ask us to help her find the child."

Bai Ze subconsciously wanted to put his hands in his pockets, but he felt his palms were wet so he endured it and put them down.

"The child was lost?"

Jun Li frowned slightly and took a few steps forward. The female ghost was wailing in pain, looking very scary but also so pitiful and helpless. At this moment, she was just a mother who had lost her child.

Jun Li felt a little sorry for the roar and looked at Bai Ze: "How about... we..."

"I dont go."

Bai Ze answered simply by walking to the passenger seat of the sports car, opening the door and fastening his seat belt: "Go home."

Jun Li pursed his lips and turned around, but all he could hear was the woman's sobbing and wailing. He clenched his fists and said to Bai Ze who was sitting in the car, "I'll go find the child for her. Please help me find out where she lost it."

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and looked at Jun Li with a little confusion, and slowly said: "You humans... do you like to meddle in other people's business so much?"

He looked at Jun Li for a long time, reached out and picked up a strawberry, then sighed: "I said, I can only stay away from the mirror for five hours. I gave you four hours to eat at the snack street and then go home."

"You have fifty-three minutes."

Bai Ze's words were like a sigh of relief. Jun Li then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "There's enough time. I'll step on the accelerator and rush to the castle. It will take at most fifteen minutes."

Bai Ze was silent for a moment and shook his head helplessly. The female ghost seemed to realize something and let out a hoarse howl at Jun Li.

"She said...the child disappeared in the lake. She searched for a long time but couldn't find him. The only way to find him was to jump into the lake."

Bai Ze bit a strawberry with an indifferent look. Jun Li looked at the blood lake that smelled red and had animal remains floating on it. He was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand."

Bai Ze was slightly stunned, then turned his head and said coldly: "It's up to you."

Jun Li took off his clothes and shoes, took off his watch and handed it to Bai Ze: "If I don't come up at the appointed time, call me loudly."

"I don't care about you."

Bai Ze snorted coldly but still took the watch, then threw the clothes into the driver's seat with disgust.

Jun Li smiled and knew that Bai Ze was being stubborn and didn't say anything more. He squatted down and looked at the bleeding female ghost on the ground as if to comfort her and said softly: "It's okay, I'll bring your child back later."

It was unclear whether the female ghost understood or not, she was still sobbing softly. Bai Ze tilted his head and took a bite of the chocolate on the strawberry tart, but he seemed not to like the taste, so he swallowed it after hesitating for a moment.

"Foolish human... You can kill a weak ghost baby, but you insist on getting involved with ghosts."

Jun Li looked at the blood lake, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and jumped down. Bai Ze propped himself up and watched Jun Li jump into the lake, splashing blood, and then the lake surface slowly returned to calm.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, then he unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and approached the lake step by step. The lake was already silent and quiet, as if it had swallowed up everything.

Bai Ze squatted down and looked at the dark blue pupils of the woman ghost, and a faint light flashed: "Hey..."

"Where did the child fall?"

...

Jun Li jumped into the lake only to find that it was truly bottomless. The light inside was dim and visibility was extremely poor. The blood was fishy and smelly, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Jun Li had been searching for a long time but couldn't find the child that the female ghost mentioned. He thought he would return empty-handed, but suddenly he heard Bai Ze's voice in his ears.

"Human, can you hear me?"

Jun Li was startled and was about to speak but he forgot he was still in the water and choked on a mouthful of smelly blood.

"madness…"

Bai Ze seemed a little helpless but said in a cold voice: "Listen to me, now swim 100 meters to your left hand and continue diving."

With Bai Ze's guidance, Jun Li suddenly felt relieved, turned around and swam hard to his left.

There seemed to be more dead animals there and visibility was worse.

"Don't be afraid. Now dive down slowly. The child is next to the carcass of the fawn."
