Chapter 181: Ghost Eats Ghost
"You finally came!" Guo Yongjia smiled at me and said.
I was slightly taken aback, suddenly realizing that I had made a fatal mistake. If I could enter Yan Shan Shan's dream, then Guo Yongjia could do the same! Moreover, Guo Yongjia had the home advantage now.
"Well then, the show is about to begin!" Guo Yongjia continued.
At this moment, I had no other thoughts; my only idea was to quickly escape from Yan Shan Shan's dream. However, the best way to leave someone's dream is for the person sleeping to wake up; otherwise, I would have to wait until dawn.
"Brother Qilong, you really came!" Compared to Guo Yongjia, Yan Shan Shan seemed a bit surprised to see me. She said to me, "Brother Qilong, I remember when we were kids, we often came here to play games. Back then..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. The vast fields of rapeseed flowers transformed into a wide street lined with low houses. The street was not paved with concrete but rather made of gravel and mud.
A gust of wind blew through, and leaves danced in the breeze, casting a mysterious aura over the entire street.
The sudden change in environment caught me off guard, and at the same time, a little girl suddenly descended from the sky right in the middle of the street. She stood at the street corner, slowly looking up at me and then smiled as she said, "Uncle, your Red Dress has arrived!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl who had been wearing a red dress suddenly stood there completely naked, her body covered in a layer of bright red blood. The blood did not coagulate into clots but flowed slowly down her body. There was not a single intact piece of skin on her; even her scalp had been peeled away. She looked like a bloody figure.
I clearly underestimated the little girl! Because this little girl could only be outsmarted; she could not be forcibly taken. She had already placed a soul mark on me, and since she had been tortured to death bit by bit, her resentment was extremely deep. Unless I resolved her resentment, it would be impossible to take her away. Moreover, in Yan Shan Shan's dream, she was truly the master; unless she wanted the little girl to die, the little girl would absolutely not die.
But!
Where did Yan Shanshan go?
I gazed at the low houses on both sides of the street, and as I looked, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
The doors of those low houses slowly opened one by one, and then, one by one, hunched-over zombies walked out from inside.
"Uncle, I'm here! Hehe!"
The sudden voice startled me. By the time I reacted, I realized that a little girl had somehow run in front of me. She opened her bloody mouth wide and lunged directly at my body.
"Ah!" Although I was a spirit, I could feel a clear sense of pain. I slapped the little girl across the face, then shouted, "Guo Jia, don't force me!"
The little girl was sent flying by my slap. After stumbling a few steps, she charged at me again.
I looked at my palm. When could a human hand hit a ghost directly? There is a significant barrier between humans and ghosts; normally, people cannot touch spirits, and ghosts can only possess someone if their yang energy is very weak. Otherwise, they cannot make contact.
But right now, I had actually slapped the little girl!
After a brief moment of confusion, it suddenly dawned on me that I was also a spirit now!
If that's the case, who is afraid of whom? I refuse to believe that as an adult, I can't overpower a little girl!
She lunged at me again, and I raised my foot and kicked her away! At the same time, zombies continued to emerge from the houses on both sides of the street—men and women, old and young—countless numbers of them quickly filled the entire street and surrounded me in an instant.
"Hehe!" After being kicked away, the little girl slowly got up. Blood continued to drip from her body onto the ground. As she opened her mouth, strands of blood formed a curtain-like effect inside her mouth. "Uncle, I'll help you wear the red dress!"
As soon as the words fell, she charged at me again, while at the same time, the Zombie on both sides came at me with Wailing of Ghosts and Howling of Wolves.
The Zombie moved slowly, but once they encountered a target, it was as if they had taken some kind of drug; their explosive power was astonishing. In almost an instant, I was surrounded by them.
I am a Paper Effigy Maker! I can control Paper Figurine and cast spells!
I casually touched my Rag Bag, and what was originally empty at my side suddenly produced a Rag Bag out of thin air.
However, when I reached in to grab a spell, I suddenly remembered that I am now also a ghost. Can I still use spells?
This brief moment of distraction put me at a disadvantage. The dense mass of Zombie quickly pounced on me, and soon after, countless Zombie, led by a little girl, opened their bloody mouths wide and began to leave marks all over my body.
Every part of me hurt; although the pain felt unreal, it was genuinely painful. I even felt that if this continued, my flesh would eventually be bitten away piece by piece.
Red Dress!
If it refers to someone whose skin has been peeled off, covered in blood and flesh, it would be like wearing a Blood Red dress. Then I think I have already put on a Red Dress!
"Don't!"
Just when I could no longer resist, a sudden Female Voice rang out, causing the pain on my body to cease.
Immediately after, the dense mass of Zombie almost instantly transformed into wisps of black smoke and disappeared. The street remained filled with autumn winds and swirling leaves. In the street, Guo Yongjia was holding Yan Shan Shan, who stood not far away with tears streaming down her face. Suddenly breaking free from Guo Yongjia's embrace, she ran towards me.
"Shan Shan, stop right there!" At that moment, Guo Yongjia suddenly grabbed Yan Shan Shan's right hand and said, "Don't go over there!"
"Hubby, Qi Long Gege he..." Yan Shanshan said hesitantly.
Guo Yongjia pulled Yan Shanshan into his arms and said, "Dear, don't worry, it's just a dream. Master Cao, it's fine."
"A dream?" Yan Shanshan was slightly taken aback, but the worry on her face did not diminish at all as she looked at me with a sorrowful expression.
I slowly crawled up from the ground, raised my hands to look at my body, which had almost no intact skin left.
When Yan Shanshan saw me like that, she immediately screamed and hurriedly hid behind Guo Yongjia.
"Shanshan, don't be afraid, I will protect you! He is not Master Cao; he is a monster! I will go and deal with him right now, okay?" Guo Yongjia said reassuringly.
My whole body was in pain; I even felt like my vital part had been bitten off. Meanwhile, a little girl looked at me with a strange grin and said, "Red dress, pretty, pretty!"
At this moment, Yan Shanshan slowly peeked out from behind Guo Yongjia. After glancing at me, she quickly hid back.
Seeing her like that, I couldn't help but shout loudly, "Shanshan, don't listen to him; I am your Qi Long Gege!"
Even though I was covered in wounds, I was very clear about one thing: right now, I was in Yan Shanshan's dream, and she was the deity within that dream! Her words could either annihilate me or elevate me to greatness in an instant.
Yan Shanshan's hometown was not in the city but in a small town. I had heard her describe it before; the town she lived in was an ancient town with a history of a thousand years. Every person there gave her a strange feeling, so aside from during festivals, Yan Shanshan would never return to that town.
Girls are very sensitive; they observe closely. The way rural people look at city folks is often quite blatant. Although there is no malice intended, for a sensitive girl like Yan Shanshan, it can be terrifying. Additionally, since she is naturally shy and rural people often lack habits like brushing their teeth or bathing, it’s understandable that in her subconscious mind she imagines those townspeople as zombies.
In other words, the zombies that appeared earlier were conjured up by Yan Shanshan's dreams. What Guo Yongjia needed to do was guide Yan Shanshan into having nightmares and then let the little girl lead those demons imagined by Yan Shanshan to devour my soul.
At that moment, if Yan Shanshan agreed to let Guo Yongjia capture me, or even kill me, it would be equivalent to a god granting someone the ability to execute me.
"Shanshan, look carefully! I am your brother Qilong; we grew up together, don’t you remember?" I hurriedly said.
Yan Shanshan peeked out slightly from behind Guo Yongjia and glanced at me. I might have looked quite disheveled at that moment, but my voice remained unchanged. In other words, as long as Yan Shanshan imagined me as my original self, my body could recover immediately.
However, Yan Shanshan was clearly not as cooperative as I hoped. She continued to hide behind Guo Yongjia and, after a quick glance at me, hurriedly retreated. Guo Yongjia then said at the right moment, "My dear Shanshan, I want to get rid of that devil; you will support me, right?"
"Don't!" I quickly exclaimed. "Shanshan, don’t you remember? When you were little, you were always so scared during thunderstorms! Every time there was thunder and rain, you would run from your house to my paper shop. Unless you saw me, you would cry and search for me everywhere!"
I don't know why, but memories of my childhood flooded back.
When we were young, Yan Shanshan was a very timid girl. Whether it was day or night, whenever there was thunder and rain from Heaven, she would specifically run to my paper shop and throw herself into my arms, crying heart-wrenchingly!
I still remember one night when Yan Shanshan, already in middle school, ran barefoot to knock on the door of my paper shop in the middle of the night. At that time, the rain had soaked her clothes and tangled her long hair. The moment I opened the door, she threw herself into my arms and cried bitterly. That night, even though her body had matured, she still crawled into my bed. Only after we held each other tightly did she finally fall asleep peacefully.
"No, you are not Brother Qilong!"
To my surprise, Yan Shanshan suddenly poked her head out and looked at me saying, "My Brother Qilong would never confuse me with my sister."
