Suddenly it began to drizzle in the sky, and the mist rose. Under the light of the blood moon, it looked like blood rain.
The blood in Bai Yue's body seemed to be unstoppable.
The blood rushed out from the small wound on her wrist, and when it fell into the soil, it disappeared instantly as if it was being swallowed. The girl's already pale and weak cheeks became more and more decadent and transparent, and gradually lost all color.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"
The entire village was shrouded in blood-red mist, with countless ghostly shadows moving through it.
In an instant, corpses littered the field.
The bodies of the villagers whose souls were eaten away remained in a horrified and twisted posture forever.
The two evil sorcerers in gray robes were not spared either. Due to their excessive bad karma, their flesh, blood, and flesh were all stained with evil spirits, making them even more popular with evil spirits.
But after struggling for a moment, there was only a residue left.
The raging evil spirits became even more crazy after absorbing Bai Yue's pure yin blood. After torturing the surrounding "congee and side dishes", they finally began to swarm in to prepare for their feast.
"Don't...save me...brother Yuzhu——"
Bai Yue still didn't wake up, curled up on the ground, seemingly talking in her sleep.
She instinctively wanted to ask for help from the person she relied on the most, but the voice was so weak that it was almost just breath, full of panic and pain.
Suddenly, just as the evil spirits were about to swarm over, a pale hand mixed with blood and mud suddenly stretched out from the ground and held the girl's wrist.
"Ayue...don't be afraid."
The young man in black was almost twisted and crawled out of the ground.
No, his clothes were not black at all. They were stained with a lot of blood and mixed with moist mud. Under the moonlight, they turned into a suit of ink.
Yu Zhu lay on the ground and held Bai Yue tightly in his arms, just like Bai Yue threw herself on him to protect him when they first met.
"E-!!! Hey, eat, eat her!!!"
The evil spirits let out sharp roars and took turns attacking the men and women hugging each other.
"Uh-huh - Ah Yue... don't be afraid!" Yu Zhu felt as if his soul was being torn apart. He screamed in pain, but he still protected his lover in his arms.
But evil spirits are invisible and everywhere, but how can they be protected like this?
Despite this, Bai Yue's face became increasingly transparent, and the blood on her wrists flowed slower and slower, as if all the blood in her body was about to drain away.
Feeling the body temperature of the girl in his arms gradually disappearing, the young man's whole body was shivering in pain, but behind him, the whispers of evil spirits continued to come from all directions.
"Eat her..."
"It smells so good... Her ghost smells so good... More fragrant than her blood, I want to eat it, I want to eat it..."
"Eat her...eat her all..."
If this continues, the souls of Bai Yue and Yu Zhu will be torn into pieces and eaten, just like those villagers and fake Taoist people. No, it will only be worse than them.
Even though he already knew that it would be such a tragic ending, Xiao Ling still couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Just now, in order to prevent the evil spirits running around in the field from getting close to Xiao Ling, Han Yuan simply took him to the rooftop. At this time, he was holding an umbrella for Xiao Ling with one hand and holding him with the other hand. He squeezed it lightly and said, "Don't worry, these ghosts can't eat them."
Xiao Ling was stunned, and she was right. Bai Yue could successfully "reincarnate" because his soul was not devoured. Han Yuan had said before that Yu Zhu hanged himself...
"Go away!"
Sure enough, when they looked over again, Yu Zhu had already picked up a hatchet in his hand and looked at the ghosts fiercely.
The rain wet his hair, and blood and soil mixed with it flowed down his pale face. His current appearance looked a bit more terrifying than a ghost.
But how can a mortal body fight against evil spirits?
Those ghosts seemed to be enjoying the pleasure of torture, playing with the rebellious young people.
Not long after, there was more blood on Yu Zhu's body than mud, and it seemed that he could no longer hold the knife in his hand.
He finally understood that he couldn't hurt those evil spirits, and he couldn't protect his bright moon.
However, he promised to protect her.
If humans can't fight ghosts, then...
Finally, the young man covered in blood knelt on the ground and raised one hand, as if he wanted to touch the girl's pale and transparent cheek.
But he finally took it back. He was very dirty now and couldn't dirty the pure white moon.
Yu Zhu raised his head and stared at the bloody moon, his dark eyes full of determination.
He finally swung the last knife with all his strength, but instead of slashing at those empty ghost figures, it pierced straight into his heart.
If a man can't fight a ghost, then he will transform into a fierce ghost!
Even if his soul is shattered and he will never recover, he only hopes that his little girl can be reincarnated safely.
If he could, he would sacrifice himself so that she could have a smooth, joyful and happy next life... and never meet such a calamitous person like him again.
"I see." Xiao Ling murmured as he looked at the fierce ghosts that Yu Zhui transformed into, trying to tear them apart and devour them all.
"Brother Han, you said before that Yu Zhu was special. He was not a ghost turned into by resentment and obsession. Now I know why?"
Even if he turned into a fierce ghost, even if he looked like he was going to die together, he was still carefully protecting Bai Yue and not letting other evil ghosts get close.
Even his lifeless body remained in a kneeling position, as if protecting the girl lying on the ground from the rain.
"...It's a protection." Although it was a very tragic scene, Xiao Ling suddenly smiled with relief, "He is a fierce ghost who transformed into a person to protect the one he loves."
It seems that Han Yuan is right. The marriage tree is really not randomly tied. Everything is connected by cause and effect.
And his arrival can be regarded as a coincidence, bringing the story back on track.
There is also the "evil system" that suddenly appeared in the post-apocalyptic world away from the original plot... It's like... the original story was missing something, and he added it to the story and led to a better ending. Same?
It's as if these small worlds are specifically waiting for his arrival...
These thoughts came out for no reason, were very strange, and could not be explained clearly.
Xiao Ling thought for a while and shook his head in a funny way.
There have been too many little stories and mysteries lately, which makes him always come up with strange ideas.
He was just mistakenly kidnapped by Little 8. How could he be connected to these small worlds?
If there was something special... Xiao Ling turned to look at Han Yuan's particularly familiar face. Brother Han was the one who was special.
As he experiences more hallucinations, it seems that there is always a special power intervening in his consciousness, and some pictures occasionally flash through his mind, which seem to be memories sealed away by Xiao 8.
He and Han Yuan, or Mo Han... didn't just experience these two small worlds together.
Most likely, it was him all along.
But what is the relationship between him and himself?
Maybe when he completes all the tasks and collects full energy, he will have the answer.
