"What, closing time?" Lan Ran Qingtian quickly stepped forward and asked, "Boss, I found it strange the last time I came here. It wasn't even dark yet, but why are all the people in Ghost Night Village scared and locking their doors? What are they afraid of?"
"What, you don't know? You two customers have quite the audacity to come to our Ghost Night Village at night!" the Boss said irritably. "The name of our Ghost Night Village comes from the fact that at night, ghosts appear in the village and kill anyone they see. So you should hurry and leave!"
"Ghosts killing people?" Li Yunyang was startled and grabbed the hotel Boss, asking, "Are you talking about ghosts with white faces, wearing white cloaks, each carrying a huge scythe?"
"Yes, yes! Why are you asking if you already know?" The Boss said before unceremoniously pushing the two out. "I can tell you're Exorcists; just get out of here and don't involve me!"
The two were thrown out and exchanged glances. "It really is strange here; it seems we are getting closer to the root of the matter!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the citizens of Ghost Night Village began to close their doors and windows with loud 'thuds,' leaving the entire street empty except for the two of them standing in the middle.
"Great, now what do we do?" Lan Ran Qingtian looked worriedly at the street. "It's too late to go back now; it's dangerous on the way back too, especially if we encounter that creature called Bakemono!"
"Hmph, it seems that whether we stay or leave makes no difference," Li Yunyang said with a confident smile. "Since that's the case, let's stay. I'm curious to see how formidable these scythe-wielding ghosts really are!"
Qingtian's expression darkened upon hearing this. "No way! I think this plan is not very wise. If we get discovered, we'll definitely be surrounded by those ghosts."
Li Yunyang chuckled. "Isn't that even better? Then we can check out their lair and see what these ghosts are all about!"
Lan Ran Qingtian suddenly realized Li Yunyang's intention was to feign capture to infiltrate their den. "But even if we can get into their lair, I'm still a bit worried. If anything goes wrong, we might not make it out alive!"
He thought for a moment and agreed that recklessly approaching an unknown enemy was too dangerous. After pondering for a while, he said, "It's okay; I have other methods!"
Li Yunyang smiled mysteriously, and Lan Ran Qingtian blinked. No way, he felt an ominous premonition that he might dig a hole for himself while reading.
Night quickly fell, and Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian entered a nearby Ruined Temple. The Ruined Temple was not far from the village, so the two hid behind a broken Statue of Buddha.
They didn't know how long they had waited, and Li Yunyang felt like he was about to fall asleep when suddenly, he was awakened by Qingtian, who placed a hand over his mouth and whispered, "Shh, it seems like there's movement outside!"
Li Yunyang quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and stretched his neck to peek inside the Ruined Temple. Suddenly, he noticed white objects floating back and forth outside the main door, each with a giant Black Scythe slung over its neck. The handle was long, and the crescent-shaped blade glinted coldly.
"Ah! They're here." He held his breath, and the two exchanged glances. Then Lan Ran Qingtian cautiously moved away from the Statue of Buddha and hid behind a nearby red-painted pillar.
He glanced at Lan Ran Qingtian, and Li Yunyang nodded slightly to indicate he was ready. He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it toward the center of the Ruined Temple. The stone rolled and made a crisp sound as it hit a stone eave at the entrance.
"Hmm?" A passing White Specter was startled by the noise. It turned around and flew into the Ruined Temple with its scythe drawn, looking around but finding nothing unusual before preparing to leave.
Suddenly, Li Yunyang jumped out from behind the Statue of Buddha, roaring with exaggerated gestures, "Little Demon! If you have the guts, come catch me!"
"Hmm? A human? Exorcist?" Upon seeing Li Yunyang and the Azure Dragon Sword behind him, the White Specter raised its scythe and charged at him, swinging wildly throughout the Ruined Temple. Li Yunyang darted around like a monkey, avoiding every swing of the scythe.
"Damn it! You dare to mock me!" The White Specter floated in mid-air, furious as black mist rose from its head. It raised its scythe and shouted, "Little Exorcist, prepare to die!"
At that moment, Lan Ran Qingtian finally made his move from behind the pillar. He raised both fists and shouted, "Exorcism Essence: Tiger Biting Twin Dragons Fist!"
The White Specter was instantly defeated by his fists. With a thud, its scythe fell to the ground as it clutched its head and screamed in agony. Seeing this, both rushed forward and pinned the White Specter to the ground, ensuring it couldn't escape no matter how much it struggled.
"Ah, let go of me, damn Exorcist!" the monster howled, immediately alarming other monsters outside. Li Yunyang quickly covered its mouth, and the two of them dragged it behind the Statue of Buddha.
"Woo woo woo!" The creature was still struggling. A passing monster heard the noise and turned to enter the Ruined Temple. Blue Dye picked up a scythe from the ground, and both of them hid behind the Statue of Buddha, not daring to make a sound.
Just you wait, I’ll deal with you later. Li Yunyang had just breathed a sigh of relief when the monster suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit down on Li Yunyang's finger with an "Ah woo!" It hurt so much that tears sprang to his eyes, but he dared not make a sound, biting his lip tightly. If they alerted the monsters outside, they would be in serious trouble.
Lan Ran Qingtian turned to look; they were about to be discovered by the monster. Without hesitation, he swung his fist and struck the monster on the head. The creature saw stars and tilted its head before fainting.
Li Yunyang pulled out his bitten finger, blood dripping down. The White Specter that had entered from behind noticed nothing and turned to leave the Ruined Temple.
As night passed and daylight approached, the monsters began to disappear. Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian finally emerged from behind the Statue of Buddha. Li Yunyang was furious, holding up the unconscious monster, eager to torment it.
"Wait, let's focus on our main task first!" Lan Ran Qingtian reached out to remove the White Specter's cloak. He wanted to see what kind of ruthless demon it was, but upon seeing its true form, both of them were stunned.
"What is this? So dark and small!" Li Yunyang exclaimed as his eyes widened. Inside the white cloak was a small black creature that seemed to be less than fifty centimeters tall. It had no wings but had arms and legs like a human, with a tail behind it and a long flat mouth resembling that of a Duck.
"Platypus?" Qingtian stared at the little monster on the ground in shock. "Wrapped in a white cloak outside, I thought it was some powerful demon; turns out it's from the Platypus clan. But it's strange; Platypus are known for being gentle magical beasts and shouldn't attack humans!"
"Who would have thought it was a black Duck?" Li Yunyang poked its belly with his hand. Its black feathers glistened. Suddenly, the Platypus opened its eyes. Upon seeing the two of them, it cried out loudly, "Wow, help me!"
Li Yunyang widened his eyes, grabbed it by the neck with one hand, and pointed at the brightening sky outside. "Stop yelling! You're all alone now; no one will save you!"
