In the blink of an eye, the ghost bride struck again, like an invisible wind blowing, bringing with it a chilling fear.
Fortunately, although it is invisible and intangible, it is strangely in physical contact with the red wedding robe it is wearing, as if the obsession before death is tightly connected to it, so it can be controlled.
It was not difficult for Li Chuan and Yang Yan to lock its position and avoid it in advance.
However, although the location of the Ghost Bride can be seen, her attacks are still insidious and strange. Even the invisible blade-like attack seems to have a distance far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even though they were several feet apart, they still left claw marks one after another in places that a normal person's arm would not be able to hit.
Li Huan couldn't move in the corridor, so he came to the courtyard on the left in a slightly embarrassed manner, with several wounds already appearing on his body.
Yang Ju had already used magic to release her own phantom, but at this time, something even more amazing happened.
The incoming attacks also failed, and the phantoms were attacked one after another. In a short time, they were defeated at the same time.
"It can attack surrounding enemies at the same time!"
Yang Yan noticed some clues and said with a little surprise.
Xiao Qingyi raised the knife with her right arm, from top to bottom, and banged it hard.
In the extremely powerful slash, the bride's auspicious dress was cut off and cut into two halves from the middle.
But this did not bring about the opponent's defeat. Instead, a black smoke was released from inside, and then dissipated without a trace.
】
The eerie and terrifying atmosphere around them became thicker and thicker, and the lanterns were extinguished, leaving only the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Li Fan pondered for a moment, then suddenly activated the strange power of Xiao Qingyi's right arm, focusing on the long knife in his hand. Then his body rushed forward quickly, and it followed like a roulette, whirring like a whirlwind. It spun as hard as a chop.
"ah!"
A shrill scream sounded out of nowhere, as if something was struck by the strangely focused blade.
This kind of ghost is also a kind of weirdness in nature. Under the collision of another weirdness, it will still conflict and be injured.
It passed through the body before, seemingly invisible and traceless, but it was actually a special power of rules, or it was hidden in the void within the treacherous realm.
…
"Have you solved it?"
The surroundings gradually calmed down, and the bride's red wedding robe was like an old remnant, turning into ashes for no reason.
Yang Yan asked with a bit of solemnity.
"We only solved the clone derived from a certain weird rule, but not its original body." Li Ao replied while warning.
"Ontology?" Yang Yan quickly recalled what she knew, and suddenly understood what Li Fan was referring to.
"Indeed.
Among those people's rewards, the Ghost Bride has a physical form, like a burnt mummy.
It seemed that the bride had suffered a disaster during the riots of the rebels. Not only was she tortured by the rebels in all kinds of ways during her lifetime, she was even deprived of peace after death and was burned into a charred corpse.
It seems that it is precisely because of this that a breath of resentment when he was dying attracted Wei Yi and turned into a fierce ghost..."
This is exactly the same rule as folklore, where those who are resentful and violent turn into ghosts. Even the ghost smoke floating around has the property of turning the dead into ghosts.
Previously, members of the Chaofengzhuying Hall were also involved in this, encountered this ghost bride, and then left alive.
This is not an easy thing to do. It can be said that there is still too little contact and we only see an extremely biased side.
"Now that I think about it, what they saw at that time might be the bride's true form...
But what we are encountering now is its soul, its consciousness...
This can easily lead to a kind of survivor bias. The group of people who encountered the original body still had some ability to protect themselves when faced with tangible monsters. Even if they were defeated, they might still be able to escape.
And if you were attacked after entering the mansion or facing the bride's soul, you might die unexpectedly.
The dead cannot speak, nor can they find a way to escape from here and tell us the truth! "
This is also the difficulty in handling weird cases. In many cases, it is really difficult to grasp the true and detailed situation without doing it yourself.
After listening to Li Kuang's analysis, Yang Ju added: "So, if you think about it, what we encountered just now may not necessarily be the clone, and the so-called true body may not necessarily be the true body."
Li Fan said: "Then let's think it is a special symbiotic relationship. I have read the notes left by my great-grandfather before, and it seems to have mentioned similar evil spirits. The two are almost one and the same, and can be distinguished from the shadow of a person. Out of evil consciousness..."
"This kind of enemy is very difficult to deal with!"
Yang Yan said with a little regret.
"This time, your mission won't end in failure, right?"
Li Fan didn't speak, but he was actually thinking quickly about the possible true existence form of the other party.
But at this moment, his eyes were burning with pain, but he saw a trace of mist that was deeper than the surrounding black smoke swimming in the strange power floating around him.
His heart moved slightly, remembering that he had been attacked by the ghost bride before, and immediately wiped the blood from his body.
Sure enough, a trace of weirdness was filling the air, slowly merging with other weirdness in him.
"Original Essence"
(Different sources repel each other and cannot be fused for the time being)
(different sources repel each other, changing)
(Different sources repel each other, merging)
…
It is not easy to stop the strange source of matter that cannot be seen for the time being from invading him. However, Li Fan is far stronger than the opponent at the moment. No matter how tyrannical and weird the opponent is, he will not be able to see the truth in front of him. It has become water without a source and a tree without roots.
Peeping through the rules of truth revealed some clues.
"Eerie Origin (Ghost Bride) (Soul)"
"Those who are attacked by the spirit of the Ghost Bride will continue to bear its attacks while sleeping."
Li Chuan's body was shaken.
This is a very difficult thing to deal with.
However, this is also consistent with the "curse" theory.
People from Catching Wind and Shadowing Hall made many investigations, and some of them were lucky enough to escape death. They thought they were out of danger, but in fact, they still could not completely get rid of the ghost bride.
He didn't escape it in his sleep, so he died violently.
The companion didn't know what was going on, so he could only give the reason of "curse", which was not a lie.
However, Li Fan didn't want to explore these at the moment. What he really cared about was the word "soul" that his eyes saw.
"Is there really such a thing as a soul in this world?"
Moreover, this also proves that there is indeed no big deviation in the guess just now.
Li Fan carefully recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, and suddenly put away his long knife and said to Yang Yan: "I know where its body is, it should be nearby!"
Only then did he realize that the deep mist-like aura he just saw had another source. Before, he thought it was the ghost bride transformed by the soul.
