unscrupulous spirit catcher

Chapter 43 Guess
The further inside, the more invulnerable the darkness seemed.

The light from the fire continued to shrink.

As they continued to go deeper, the emotions of fear, panic, and suspicion became more and more intense, and they no longer accompanied them all the time.

Ling and Jiuding have not been seen yet.

Song Yu was extremely nervous at this moment.

Because she found out that Hua Gu didn’t dare to show up.

Originally, the bone was always there, but now it was hidden deep inside her body, and she was unwilling to come out no matter what.

Without an edict, it was directly suppressed by the spirit in the darkness.

The same goes for everyone else. The black shadow behind Daozang has blended into the shadow, leaving no trace at all.

Everyone has become a frightened bird, and as long as there is a slight movement, they can be defeated.

"Corpse."

Gu Beiqi suddenly whispered something and lowered the torch to illuminate a small area on the ground.

Because it was too cold, the corpse had not decomposed badly, and the expression on his face was normal, not even a hint of panic.

There were no wounds on the body, not even the clothes were torn, and the cause of death could not be seen.

"This should be the first one. They died suddenly before they discovered what was inside."

Gu Beiqi did not turn over the body, but only moved the torch so that everyone could see it more clearly.

"D-Did you encounter something?" He Shen's throat was dry and he couldn't speak without speaking.

Gu Beiqi nodded: "It's possible, just be careful. Anything is possible when you encounter, hear, see, smell. It could even be a spirit moving and you have entered the spirit's territory."

Song Yu looked at the corpse and remained silent until the end, suppressing all fear in his throat.

too frightening.

There were no clues at all, no idea when he would be attacked, and not even the spirit could help.

"Look at the other bodies."

The four of them walked inside again. The number of corpses gradually increased, and their expressions began to panic, but they still found nothing useful.

Just when they were at a loss what to do, they suddenly heard someone say: "Put out the fire!"

In this dead and silent cave, even a slight sound would appear loud, let alone the voice of speaking.

The four people in Song Yu were all trembling, almost peeing on the spot and possibly dying.

"Who is that?" Gu Beiqi shined the torch into a cave nearby.

This cave is very low, with rugged rocks on top, and a small hole running through the front and back below.

Below the cave is biting cold water.

"Gu Beiqi?"

"Zhang Ju?"

Are they still acquaintances?

Song Yu was stunned.

"It's me, put out the fire quickly." Zhang Ju was very nervous and had no time to reminisce about the past, as if the fire was a spiritual creature with sharp teeth.

The four people quickly threw the lit torches into the water.

With a "hiss", the torch was extinguished, and even the last light was hidden in the darkness, making them completely invisible.

The underground cave, which had not seen daylight for thousands of years, became dark again after the torches were extinguished.

To the east, west, north and south, there were ghostly figures and nothing could be seen.

People cannot lose their light. Once they are in complete darkness, dark things will breed in their hearts and fear will take over everything.

"Look, if you can't see, how can you go?" He Shen panicked.

Zhang Ju said in the darkness: "If you touch the dark, this spirit will kill everyone holding a torch."

"Then, we came in just now, why weren't you okay?" He Shen became more and more stuttering.

He was so frightened that he was shaking all over.

Even if he knew what this spirit was, he wouldn't be so afraid.

But now the spirit has not shown up, and the spirit in his body has been hidden. All of this tells the danger of this spirit.

Zhang Judao: "Maybe it's luck. You also know that luck is very important. I still have four stonemasons alive here. It turns out there are more."

His voice was obviously not far away, but when he couldn't see it, it felt far away.

"Don't go inside anymore, come out with us."

Gu Beiqi asked him some more questions, but Song Yu's mind was racing rapidly.

Zhang Ju’s analysis is problematic.

In such an underground cave, almost everyone holds a torch. Everyone holding a torch is dead, but it does not mean that someone will die if they hold a torch.

"Song Yu, Song Yu?" Gu Beiqi called Song Yu twice and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Song Yu's simple response.

"What do you think, should we go in or go back?"

Gu Beiqi had no choice but to ask Song Yu.

He Shen was scared to death. Daozang couldn't beat him with three sticks. He couldn't just listen to Zhang Ju.

Song Yu thought about it for a moment: "Until we figure out the situation, it's better to stay put. Fire doesn't look like fire."

Going forward or going out in the dark may lead to death.

At least they are safe here.

"New here?" Zhang Ju asked.

"The ghost hunter of the Decryption Department." Gu Beiqi said.

"The people in the Decryption Department are unreliable, but you are right about one thing. Fire is not the only thing. It is the fire that reflects the shadow. The spirit steals life through the shadow. When the fire is extinguished, the shadow no longer exists."

Zhang Ju said a series of words as if his mouth was hot. He had been stuck here for too long and he had lost his patience.

All he fantasizes about in his mind is his various death situations, and every time he thinks about it, he regrets it once, and now his intestines are full of regret.

Song Yu felt that he had gone crazy.

Fire reflects a shadow, but the spirit still passes through the shadow.

People have shadows at all times.

Even if it's dark like this now, the shadow of the person will not leave, it just curls up at the feet.

And the simpler the spirit, the more dangerous it is, and the more dangerous it is, the simpler it is.

Such a dangerous spiritual creature, as Gu Beiqi said, might die just from hearing, smelling or seeing it.

Add in shadows and stuff, and it gets complicated.

But it is a fact that Zhang Ju and the others can survive until now.

They must have done something right to survive.

"Gu Beiqi, forget it if you don't believe it, we have had enough rest, let's go."

Zhang Ju called a few names in the darkness, and the four masons responded in the darkness, and then started to leave following Zhang Ju's voice.

It is very difficult to move in the dark, and they can only walk by feeling the stone wall. They can only determine the direction to go out, and they can't see anything else.

"W-How about we go out too?" He Shen asked blankly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud "crash". Someone fell into the water.

Holding a torch in this cave can throw it, not to mention touching it in the dark, with empty feet, you can fall to your head right away.

But soon, Song Yu realized something was wrong.

Zhang Ju's voice disappeared.

The four masons did not hear the sound and stopped.

Gu Beiqi also noticed it and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and light the fire!"

The fire was blown brightly, and the thin pine branches were lit up. Soon there was fire in the cave, and I looked in the direction of leaving.

In the weak firelight, the four masons were leaderless and panicked, standing in the water in a daze, while Zhang Ju fell into the water, face down, motionless.

"what!"

Watching this scene, a stonemason completely collapsed, yelled heart-piercingly, and stumbled out.

Only a loud "bang" was heard. The person must have hit the stone wall and made no sound.

The remaining three masons were completely stunned. Under extreme fear and pain, they allowed their souls to leave their bodies and numb all their feelings.
