a ghost pretending to be human

The kindness shown by Li Zigui did not impress Ran Jingtian.He protected Lu Yiyi behind him, held the long sword tightly in his hand, and stared at Li Zigui vigilantly, completely different from the restrained schoolboy he was when Li Zigui's house gave him concert tickets.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

Li Zigui maintained his kind smile, and asked Ran Jingtian: "I'm a ghost, here are all my kind, why am I not here?"

Listening to Li Zigui's slightly beating tone, Lu Yiyi felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Ran Jingtian pointed the tip of his sword directly at Li Zigui.

"Don't, don't." Lu Yiyi persuaded in vain, "Xiao Ran, what are you doing? Li Zi just saved us?" She also knew in her heart why Ran Jingtian held such hostility towards Li Zigui.After all, Li Zigui has been defaulted to be the Xie family, and has a close relationship with Wen Shisi.They were sent to the ghost cave by the crazy Xie Nian, and immediately ran into Li Zigui, no matter what, they couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Ran Jingtian was naturally not moved by Lu Yiyi.

There was darkness between the chaotic sky and the cracked earth, only the sharp long sword reflected the dark silver light.

One person and one ghost confront each other silently.

Unlike Ran Jingtian who obviously tensed up, Li Zigui appeared to be at ease.He stared at the sword for a while, leaned forward slightly, and slowly approached the tip of the sword with his fingers.

Ran Jingtian's hand trembled slightly.

"Don't touch the plums!" Lu Yiyi said anxiously, "That sword is designed to kill ghosts! You will die if you touch it!"

Li Zigui raised his eyes and smiled comfortingly at Lu Yiyi, and finally touched the tip of the sword with his fingertips.

Ran Jingtian withdrew his sword abruptly.

In an instant, the silver-white sword body turned dark black from the tip, and shattered little by little.

Lu Yiyi's eyes widened in shock, her lips moved, she didn't know what to say.

The ghost-killing sword...how could it be broken by a ghost?

Ran Jingtian was also taken aback, but quickly realized: "Illusion."

Li Zigui nodded approvingly.

The next moment, Ran Jingtian's hand was empty.

Then, the howling that followed drowned out all his doubts.

He watched helplessly as his sword appeared and disappeared around him, and every time it appeared, it passed through a Yin spirit who was eyeing this place covetously.The part touched by the sword immediately turned into scattered star points, spreading to the entire soul body, and finally gradually dimmed and ceased to exist.The Yin spirits fled this area in fright, but they still couldn't prevent their own demise.With distorted faces and shrill voices, they struggled to utter their last curses in this brief pain.

Those ghosts collapsed one by one, with endless grief and fear.

Mourning is everywhere.

"What did you do?!" Ran Jingtian couldn't help taking a step back.

"Your sword is very useful." Li Zigui sighed, "Why can't I get one..."

Ran Jingtian gritted his teeth: "Li Zigui, what are you going to do?"

Li Zigui thought for a while, and said seriously, "I don't know."

Ran Jingtian: "..."

"By the way," Li Zigui asked back, "what are you doing here?"

Ran Jingtian froze for a moment.

Lu Yiyi: "...you don't know why we are here?"

Li Zigui hesitated for a moment: "Well... should I know?"

Ran Jingtian stared at Li Zigui in disbelief.He paused every word: "Just now Xie Lang came to our place to look for Wen Shisi."

Li Zigui: "...Oh?"

"Your grandma refused to see him." Ran Jingtian continued.

Li Zigui: "...oh..."

"Xie Lang threatened to send us all to the ghost cave. Your grandma still hasn't shown up."

"So you were sent in?" Li Zigui's tone was subtle.

Lu Yiyi nodded heavily.

Looking at Li Zigui's expression, Ran Jingtian was incredulous: "You really don't know anything? Aren't you the illegitimate son of the Xie family?"

Li Zigui: "Hmm..."

"Then why did you appear as the villain Xixi just now..." Lu Yiyi said weakly, "You can still control those ghosts... No wonder Xiao Ran misunderstood..."

"Why can I control ghosts?" Li Zigui was puzzled.

"...Didn't you just wave your hand and they dispersed?"

"They dispersed because they were afraid of me." Li Zigui was even more puzzled, "I don't really need a sword to kill ghosts. It's just a matter of waving my hands."

"Wow... so you are such a powerful ghost..." Lu Yiyi sighed, "I was worried that Yan Ming would kill you before."

"Thank you for your concern." Li Zigui smiled, "I don't care if I can't be destroyed..."

"Hey, why?" Lu Yiyi asked curiously.

Li Zigui was about to answer when he was interrupted by Ran Jingtian.

"I'm sorry." Ran Jingtian said solemnly, "I'm sorry, I apologize for my hostility to you just now. Do you know where the others are now?"

"Well," Li Zigui thought for a while, then pointed behind himself, "Over there."

Following Li Zigui's finger, Ran Jingtian and Lu Yiyi saw the faintly dark forest in the distance.Behind the woods, there is a spot of light falling far away, erratic, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

That was the place Ran Jingtian subconsciously wanted to go to just now.

"There..." Lu Yiyi wondered, "It's Xie's playground, so you can't go there..."

Ran Jingtian frowned.

"It's not yet the time for the plot to start. If you go there and accidentally destroy something, how will you maintain the plot?" Lu Yiyi explained, "Besides, it's already very dangerous there... According to the setting, there are ten deaths and no life. ..."

Ran Jing glanced at Li Zigui subconsciously.

Li Zigui made a sincere suggestion: "Why don't you stay here, and I'll bring everyone over there?"

"You can do this?!" Lu Yiyi was shocked.

"It's ok, but there may be missing arms and broken legs. After all, the human body is too big to be transferred."

Lu Yiyi: "..." If you send half of Yan Ming over, then we don't have to play, just lie down and watch the plot collapse.

"Let's go," Ran Jingtian finally said, "Go and have a look first."

Lu Yiyi had no choice but to agree.

The two of them headed straight for the woods like a ghost.All the way unimpeded, no ghosts dare to disturb.

Ran Jingtian didn't say a word, and neither did Li Zigui.The air was unusually stuffy.

The forest seemed very close, but it was actually very far away.Trees that were thought to be of normal size now appear to be as tall as several stories of buildings.There was only such a reference object around, and Lu Yiyi couldn't figure out how tall those trees were and how far away they were.

The inexplicable uneasiness in her heart was getting heavier and heavier.

...In the plot...is there a tree around that maze?

She cleared her throat and started a topic: "By the way, we will arrive soon, how can we find Yan Ming and the others? Such a big maze, we can't knock down the walls, right?"

"The maze?" Li Zigui asked suspiciously, "It's an amusement park. It's open-air and brightly lit. I just passed there."

Lu Yiyi suddenly stopped in her tracks: "You... Paradise? Isn't it a maze?"

"...Maybe there is a maze?" Li Zigui asked uncertainly, "After all, it is such a big land. I only pay attention to the Ferris wheel in the center, and I don't know what other amusement facilities are there. The Ferris wheel is super big and colorful. , you can go sit and watch later."

"How can..." Lu Yiyi suddenly stopped talking.

She squatted down with difficulty and hopelessly, her tone sad and desperate: "Fuck, thank you..."
