Just when countless black hands were about to grab her, Xiaoxia reacted quickly, subconsciously leaned down and narrowly avoided it. She knelt down on the ground, suppressing the huge feeling of fear and nausea in her chest, and forced her way out of the crowd of ghosts.

Some of those ghost legs were rotten and exuded a disgusting stench, some were simply bones, and some seemed to be frivolous decorations, which made Xiaoxia infer a lot while squeezing out. As the legs were broken, the body above also fell to the ground, hitting the crawling Xiaoxia, forcing her to dodge left and right.

Those terrifying ghost faces were all facing her when they fell down, with the same expression, the same excitement, the same mouth open like a black hole, with black teeth exposed, and a biting posture, and there were a few of them. Even his head fell off, but he still struggled to roll towards her, sucking in her breath greedily.

Xiaoxia crawled desperately, and was almost bitten by the fallen ghost several times. She was so frightened that she had no energy to judge whether her actions were right or wrong, she just wanted to escape from here. Gradually, she discovered that these ghosts were all the same. There were no eyeballs in their eye frames, their ears were rotten, and only their noses and mouths existed. They relied on her scent to track her location, or, because these were the only two functions left, they were particularly keen.

She may be able to hide her voice, or even her body, but she can't hide her smell! Because of this, they are chasing after her like maggots attached to their bones!

Because Xiaoxia was crawling around on the ground, the ghosts without vision and hearing were always half a beat too late when they wanted to catch her. But when she struggled to climb out of the gathering of ghosts, she found that The ghosts also lay on the ground and came to catch her parallel to her. But they crawled much faster than she did, almost clinging to the ground and scurrying around like huge black rats densely packed on the ground.

She stood up and ran away, without making any distinction between east, west, north and south. She just felt that the corridor was as large and clueless as a maze, with no room and only windows on both sides, which were pitch black. She didn't know how long she had been running, but even though she ran to a different place every time, the ghosts could still catch up with them. However, as she ran around wildly, the numbers became less dense and began to become sparse. But this also meant that no matter where she ran, she would encounter one or two, gradually blocking all her access.

She is their food, and they want to eat her!

This knowledge made her panic so much that it would be easier to kill her. She ran to a cross corridor in panic and found that she was completely surrounded, with drooling ghosts in all directions. She felt like a small animal being hunted by wild beasts, dazed and frightened, but with no way to escape.

With no other choice, she had no choice but to desperately try to open the window, thinking that she would rather fall to death than be eaten. But the window was rusted to death and couldn't be opened at all, and the hungry ghosts surrounding her had slowly narrowed their circle. The reason why we haven't done anything yet is because everyone is vying to get the first bite.

They pushed and squeezed, making swallowing sounds of "ho **** ho" in their throats, and slowly approached her. This made Xiaoxia's panic indescribable. The despair that she was about to be torn to pieces, bitten, and swallowed into pieces made her mind go blank. She was only afraid of——

There was a crisp sound of 'pop', causing Xiaoxia to scream and hold her head.

"This way!" a woman's straight voice called.

As soon as Xiaoxia turned her head, she saw the glass of the window was broken, and a pale and very thin woman's hand was hanging there, making a pulling gesture toward her.

"Hurry up!" The voice still urged.

The smell of the air outside made the hungry ghosts who were all focused on Xiaoxia realize something. They began to get restless and rushed towards Xiaoxia desperately. This gave Xiaoxia no chance to hesitate, so she had to stretch out her hand and let the A hand pulled her out of the window.

"Ah!" Xiaoxia yelled because a hungry ghost grabbed one of her feet and left her hanging in the air, unable to get out or get down. The person pulling her outside the window increased his strength, but the ghost inside the house refused to let go. Xiaoxia was pulled almost to the point of breaking in two. And the ghost was still groping her feet in a daze, opening his mouth to bite her.

She subconsciously kicked as hard as she could, and with a click, the ghost's head tilted and fell, and dense ants sprouted from the neck.

With a moment of relaxation, Xiaoxia was pulled out of the window and escaped from the clutches of the hungry ghosts. Panting heavily, she realized that she was sitting on the tree crown, with a bottomless abyss below, and she hurriedly tightened the trunk.

There was a sound of groping behind her, and she knew it was the person who saved her.

"Thank you," she said and turned away.

The person who looked like a nurse was squatting sideways. The nurse lowered her arms and a strand of black hair hung down, blocking her face. Sharpen it.

"You are so strong!" Xiaoxia looked at her unusually thin figure, remembering the feeling when she pulled her from the outside just now, and now he saw her effortlessly cutting such a thick piece of wood with a small scalpel. , vaguely feeling that something was wrong, "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Do you know why this place is called Hungry Ghost Path?" The nurse answered the question. The voice was flat and without any tune.

"For what?"

"Because the ghosts who stay here feel unbearable hunger every day, no matter what comes, they will be eaten to the last dregs, without exception."

"Then why did you save me?" Xiaoxia quietly moved to the side.

"I don't want to save you, I want to enjoy you alone." She said and turned around, smiling happily. She also had no eyes or ears, and there were insects in the rotten flesh on her face. In and out.

"I'll use this." She raised the sharp wood in her hand. "I'll use this to pierce your heart. I'll use this to pour it on the white rice I've saved for many years. Then I'll hang you on a tree where no one can reach it." Let it dry on top and eat the meat slowly."

She said and stretched out her hand to Xiaoxia, but Xiaoxia dodged and jumped down.

She would rather die!

In a daze, she felt she saw Hong Haohao's face, and then a sharp pain made her pass out.

Ruan Zhan stood beside Xiao Xia's bed, gently stroking her frowning brow with his fingers. He knew that her soul was not in her body and could not feel his comfort, but thinking of the torture she was going through, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

He stood for a while, then turned around and left. He understood that if the soul did not return to the body for a long time, she might never wake up, so he had no time to feel distressed and had to do something.

When he came to the living room, Wan Li opened the door and came in.

"How is it?" he asked eagerly. He took a look at the surrounding people to make sure there was no one watching them.

Wan Li shook his head, "Yang Muyou is not in the city, or has no entry record. He cannot be found through proper channels. Even Hong Haohao has disappeared. At present, we are unable to do anything, and we have no way to say anything. Even if Even if you try your best to find him, you can't find him. What about you? Have you found anything through your research?"

Ruan Zhan took out the things he got from Gu Yufang's fish tank that day from his pocket and put them on the table. It was a small flat round stone, dark and shiny, oily and smooth.

"It's really beautiful. Is this the one you came from Gu and Fang's family that day?" Wan Li picked up the stone and looked at it, and exclaimed, "Isn't it a gem? Oops -" Before he finished speaking, he felt something in his palm. A numb, prickly and itchy feeling made him put down the stone immediately, "It's alive and can bite."

“Look at his front, it’s very smooth.” Ruan Zhan picked up the stone and showed it to Wan Li, then turned it over, “But his back is still rough.”

"Did you **** my hand just now instead of biting me?"

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, but suddenly took out a knife and slid it on his hand, and blood immediately poured out. He dropped the blood on the rough side of the stone, and the stone immediately moved, as if it were alive, and then sucked all the blood in, leaving nothing exposed, as if nothing had been dripped on it a few seconds ago.

Wan Li looked at all this in surprise, seeing the stone trembling, its rough surface slowly becoming smooth, and finally becoming motionless again.

"This - this -" He looked up at Ruan Zhan, looking for the answer.

"Yes, this is the key point. When you entered Gu Yufang's bedroom that day, I accidentally felt that there was a strange feeling in the fish tank. As a result, I happened to see a small fish accidentally touch the stone, and immediately Be adsorbed on it until you die."

"Until death? Is this a stone or a monster?" Wan Li plucked the stone with his fingers and felt that it was indeed alive. "What kind of mineral structure is it? Let's take it to a scientific research institution for inspection."

"If you want to cause trouble, just take it." Ruan Zhan said, "I don't know what it is anyway, but I remember reading an ancient book before, which is a romance about ghost stories. It says There is a kind of stone that can absorb people's blood essence and blood, and will completely drain it. I once thought it was a legend, but now it seems that the world is really big and full of wonders. Guess - what happened to that little fish?"

"It won't turn into black and gray, right?" Wan Li said casually.

"Correct answer."

Wan Li was stunned. He didn't expect that the truth would be like this. "Is this why the bodies of those women completely deviated from the laws of physics?" Wan Li was extremely surprised. "He--I mean, where did Yang Muyou get this?" Plant terrible stones."

"This world is so colorful, how much can humans know?" Ruan Zhan carefully wrapped the stone, "I don't understand what he is using the stone to absorb the essence and blood of these women?"

“Isn’t it the Taoist thing about gathering yin and replenishing yang?”

"This is evil magic and has nothing to do with real Taoist magic-"

He stopped mid-sentence, and at the same time Wan Li also felt the dizziness.

"What happened? Earthquake?"

"No!" Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth, "He's coming." He said before running to Xiao Xia's room.

The bed was empty, and Xiaoxia was nowhere to be found.
