I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Just as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he heard the window vibrate violently.The little paper man stuck to the glass and smashed the door desperately.

Jiang Miao quickly waved his hand, and the window slammed open.The little paper figurine flew into the room with a "whoosh" and hid behind Jiang Miao, shivering.

"Why..." Before Jiang Miao could finish his sentence, he felt that a powerful evil spirit was about to sneak in like a tornado.

Xichi pushed him aside, and Jiang Miao lost his balance and fell onto the bed.

"Beware!"

Jiang Miao yelled shortly, and Xichi dodged to avoid the evil spirit, then quickly drew a spell out of thin air, and pushed towards the evil spirit.

There was a shrill scream when the evil spirit came into contact with the dark red mantra, and it made a sharp turn and jumped out of the window.

Jiang Miao quickly jumped up and locked the window.

He took a long breath, stretched out his hand to make the little paper man jump onto his palm, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"

The little paper man crawled along Jiang Miao's arm to his shoulder, and moved close to Jiang Miao's ear.

"You mean someone opened the altar and manipulated this resentment to attack us?"

The little paper man nodded, shook his head again, and put his head next to Jiang Xiao's ear again.

"What did it say?" Qi Chi asked in a deep voice.

"It said that the man didn't want to attack us." Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at Qi Chi, and said with a smile, "He wanted to attack me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the little paper figurine again: "Do you know the source of that resentment?"

The little paper man jumped on the spot, and then jumped onto the window sill.

Following the position of its finger, Jiang Miao looked into the courtyard through the window.

A flash of lightning pierced the sky in an instant, and there were several large and small sculptures scattered all over the dilapidated backyard.There are unknown idols, rakshasas with green faces and long fangs, humans, ghosts, and various animals... They look like they are old, some are covered with moss, and some are incomplete.

Qi Chi: "Those statues have problems."

Jiang Miao turned his head and blinked at Qichi: "Brother Hua, why don't you walk with me? I'm afraid."

"Yeah." Qi Chi nodded lightly, turned around and walked out.

"Wait." Jiang Miao raised his chin toward the corner, "Bring an umbrella."

……

There was a rustling sound as his feet stepped on the weeds, and the silver whip on Jiang Xiao's wrist released a fluorescent beam.

He stopped in front of a huge sculpture, turned on the flashlight of his phone, and looked up.

It was a human-shaped stone statue. Its belly looked like a beer barrel, and its neck was extremely narrow. It could still be seen that it was engraved with flame-like patterns.

Jiang Miao shone his flashlight on the stone statue's face, and snorted softly, "Oh, the sculpture is quite vivid."

Following his words, the sculpture's facial features showed an extremely distorted expression, which looked quite painful.

"It's a hungry ghost."

"Heaven, Asura, people, animals, hell, hungry ghosts..." Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Qichi, "Brother Xiao Hua, the Six Paths can also be used in Southeast Asia."

"There's something under here." Qi Chi's eyes froze, and he said in a low voice, "Get out of the way."

"Oh." Jiang Miao obediently moved to the side.

"It's not about you." Qi Chi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the evil ghost sculpture, "Don't understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the statue trembled a few times and moved slowly to the side.

"This is……"

Jiang Xiao's breath was suffocated, and there was a half-meter-deep pit under the statue, and a child's skull was lying in it.

That skull, no jaw.

"what--!"

Suddenly there was a sharp cry from the skull, and then a gust of dark wind instantly turned into a sharp blade, pushing towards Qi Chi fiercely.

With a flash of red light, the blood lotus seed that sealed the ghost child hit the sharp blade head-on, absorbing it completely.

The black air dissipated, and the skull instantly turned into powder.

The blood lotus seeds flickered a few times, and flew towards a stone statue of a crane with broken wings not far away.

"Follow it." Qi Chi said shortly, and quickly ran towards Xuelianzi.

I saw the blood lotus seeds floating above the crane, jumping up and down, releasing more gorgeous colors.

"There are also baby bones under here?" Jiang Miao asked.

Qi Chi nodded lightly: "I will remove the stone statue, and you will be responsible for blocking the resentment."

"Okay." Jiang Miao shook his hand, and the silver whip climbed from his wrist to his hand and clenched it tightly.

Just like just now, the moment Xichi moved the statue away, a resentment rushed up.Jiang Miao swung his whip in the middle of the evil spirit, and the baby's bones turned into white powder again.

Looking at the handful of ashes in front of him, Jiang Miao pondered, "Why don't these skeletons have jaws?"

"If I'm right, it should have been burned by fire."

"Burn on fire?"

Qi Chi nodded: "One of the steps in refining corpse oil is to bake the chin over a slow fire until it melts."

Jiang Xiao touched his chin subconsciously.

Seeing the blood lotus seeds flying towards another stone statue again, Qi Chi frowned and said, "We seem to have broken into someone's magic circle." The next stone statue was even more terrifying than the previous two.The whole body of the stone statue is blue-gray, with big eyes like cow bells, and a pair of sharp fangs.Its hands and feet are similar to those of humans, but it has more webbed fingers than humans, which makes it look fierce in the dark night.

"Dry Land Rakshasa?" Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "It's been a while since I saw this buddy."

He turned his head and explained to Qichi: "Don't look at it with webs, but it's a real landlubber. In the past, I liked to take advantage of the chaos of the war to get into the killing field and eat people. Later, my boss issued an A-level arrest warrant for it. This buddy It was only then that he fled in a hurry, and he is nowhere to be found... Unexpectedly, I saw it here."

"Get ready, I'm going to remove the stone statue." As Xichi said, he was about to step forward.

"Don't panic, Brother Xiaohua." Jiang Xiao stretched his muscles, "When will we move one by one like this, let's just go together."

Hearing the words, Qi Chi smiled lowly: "I have no objection."

After speaking, he directly drew a spell in the air.The stone statues in several directions in the dilapidated courtyard began to shake violently at the same time.

"Scatter." Jiang Xiao shouted, and saw the silver whip split into several pieces in an instant, and flew straight towards the swaying stone statues.

In an instant, everything was silent.

"Hey, stop making trouble." Jiang Miao wiped off his sweat, squinting at the little paper figurine below who was still beating up the last ray of evil spirit.

The little paper man saluted, jumped up, and flattened the last bit of resentment with his ass.

"I'm exhausted." Jiang Xiao took a long breath, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a deep breath and complained, "I'm still sleeping, it's almost dawn."

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xichi standing not far away, still maintaining his original posture.Jiang Miao blew out a smoke ring and stepped forward a few steps: "Brother Xiao Hua, what are you looking at...?"

Jiang Miao was stunned before he finished speaking, and saw a deep underground tunnel suddenly appearing under the "Dry Land Rakshasa" just now.

"This is..." Jiang Miao clenched his whip again with a cigarette in his mouth.

"The person who manipulates the evil energy to attack you is right here."

……

The rain stopped.

The old man at the front desk of the hotel looked back at the clock on the wall, took a dirty kerosene lamp from the cabinet, and tremblingly left the seat.

He used the key to open the door of the storage room, took a few small bottles from the wooden cabinet full of various bottles and jars, uncorked the bottles, and poured the black liquid inside into a red enamel cupboard. In the washbasin.

Then, he walked through the storage room with the washbasin in his hand, and walked all the way down towards the deep stairs...

The water seeped into the underground corridor along the gap, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound. The old man stopped at the door of the last room and turned the doorknob.

The door squeaked open.I saw a bathtub in the center of the room. The old man put the kerosene lamp aside and walked to the bathtub with the washbasin in his hand.He looked into the bathtub with his head, displeasure showing on his dark face.

He squeezed a maggot out of the bathtub, threw it on the floor, and crushed it with his foot.

Following his gaze, he saw a rotting corpse lying horizontally in the bathtub.Countless maggots were wriggling out from the carrion's eye sockets, nostrils, and mouth. The old man hurriedly took the towel and soaked it in the washbasin, and then carefully wiped the carrion's body with the towel.

Following the old man's movements, the maggots began to struggle and twist violently, and finally fell from the corpse's body and floated on the bathtub.

There was an expectant smile on the old man's face. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shook it out. It was a Fucai newspaper.Immediately afterwards, the old man raised one of the rotting corpse's arms and put his hand on the newspaper.

The rotting corpse's fingers curled slightly, and they slowly pointed to a column of numbers.The greedy smile on the old man's face gradually enlarged and enlarged...

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and the smile froze on his face for a moment before turning into panic.The old man's throat made a "cracking" sound, and what was stuck in his throat was the hand of the carrion that suddenly turned from the newspaper to him.

After a few kicks, the old man collapsed by the bathtub, without a trace of breath.

At the same time, the rotting corpse in the bathtub slowly sat up on the edge of the bathtub, and pulled out the last maggot from the remaining scalp.

……

Jiang Miao suddenly stopped, staring into the dark depths.

"What's wrong."

"It's lifeless." Jiang Xiao sniffed lightly, suppressing the feeling of nausea, "It's still fresh."

After he finished speaking, he quickly ran to the dark place.

Through the door, he heard someone humming a little song inside.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and raised his hand to turn the doorknob.But before he could use any force, the door opened by itself.

In an instant, a stench of corruption hit the face.

"Long time no see, Sir Jiang."

There was a person lying on the recliner with his back facing Jiang Miao, he swayed with the swing of the rocking chair, his fingers were still tapping rhythmically on the armrest.

Jiang Miao's eyes followed the man's figure to look at his hands, and saw a sticky web connecting his five fingers.

Jiang Miao raised the corners of his lips and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "It's been a long time no see, dry land Rakshasa."

As he spoke, he glanced at the wooden cabinet in the corner not far away, which was filled with jawless skulls and mummified babies.

"No, I should call you, Gapan."
