At that moment, a chill crept into my heart.
How could there suddenly be four of them?
Could it be that the Dirty Things I faced with Big Mouth Lee in the girls' dormitory were not the real ones?
My mind was filled with confusion, and I felt a pang of worry for Big Mouth Lee. Gritting my teeth, I decided not to wait around any longer. I got up, ready to wake Xu Zhi so we could rush out together. With two Dirty Things appearing at once, I feared I wouldn't be able to handle both alone. I needed to regroup with Big Mouth Lee first!
Just as I stood up, a sudden "splashing" sound came from the bathroom, as if a faucet had been turned on.
Thud!
Thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed in the bathroom, like someone was pacing back and forth. Then, with a creak, the bathroom door swung open, and something dressed in a loose white garment staggered out, leaving a trail of water behind.
Its hair was long, nearly reaching its waist. Because its head hung low, I couldn't see its face clearly. However, its figure felt eerily familiar.
Finally, it slowly lifted its head. Its long black hair flipped back slightly, and through the strands, I caught a glimpse of a pale face—so pale it was almost unsettling. The face was covered in dense crimson runes, yet it bore a strikingly delicate appearance. But its eyes were filled with resentment!
I felt as if struck by lightning. That face was all too familiar—Chai Jingjing!
The thing in the bathroom was actually the spirit of Chai Jingjing?
However, looking at its current form, it had clearly transformed into an Evil Spirit. If it weren't an Evil Spirit, how could there be such chilling resentment in its eyes?
Clang!
The wind chime hanging on the sofa rang louder, swinging back and forth more dramatically than before.
“Yin Puppet!”
“Oh no! This is a very vicious killing machine!” I couldn't help but exclaim in shock!
According to the records in "Mausoleum Secrets": "There once existed a malevolent entity known as the Soul Demon. This entity is not a ghost or monster, but rather a spirit of the mountains, much like the Thousand-Eyed Tai Sui you see. Its Daoist Practice is not profound, yet it possesses a formidable ability to control the souls of the dead! It can erase all consciousness from a soul's past life and infuse it with deep resentment, directly transforming the soul into an Evil Spirit. It only knows how to harm and claim lives, akin to a puppet; those souls that have been tormented by the Soul Demon are referred to as Yin Puppets! However, the requirements for creating a Yin Puppet are quite high. If a soul has formed for more than seventy-two hours, it cannot be made into a Yin Puppet. Therefore, for the Soul Demon to create Yin Puppets, it must harm others and extract their living souls! It is said that a single Soul Demon can produce up to ten Yin Puppets at once, after which it will absorb all ten Yin Puppets, allowing it to evolve into the Soul Demon King. This entity is incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with, no less than a Laughing Corpse, daring to appear in broad daylight to siphon off the Vital Energy of the living—almost like a demon!"
After their demise, Chai Jingjing and her companions had their souls captured and turned into Yin Puppets by the Soul Demon!
For the Soul Demon to become a Soul Demon King, it requires ten Yin Puppets, and those playing the Yokai Lantern Game happen to be ten individuals!
What I cannot comprehend is why the Soul Demon insists on having these ten people play the Yokai Lantern Game.
Is it to weaken the Yang Qi of those playing so that it can strike?
This thought crossed my mind but was quickly dismissed. If that were the case, then all ten girls would have been harmed during the game itself since their Yang Qi would only diminish due to fear while playing that eerie game. Afterward, once they calmed down, their Yang Qi would gradually recover!
The key point is how Zhou Daming and several other men also ended up being sacrificed; I still cannot figure that out!
Thinking this way, it seems that having those ten girls play the Yokai Lantern Game was entirely unnecessary—a pointless endeavor!
Moreover, who exactly was responsible for getting Chai Jingjing involved in this game?
I have unraveled many things, yet it feels like I still only know the tip of the iceberg; the entire incident remains shrouded in mystery!
I found myself pondering and couldn’t help but mutter: "Is there any way to save the Yin Puppets? Can I break the Soul Demon's control over them?"
At that moment, I recalled what was written in "Mausoleum Secrets," and suddenly had an epiphany: "Once a Yin Puppet is formed, there is no turning back. I know you recognize this Yin Puppet before you, but you have no other choice but to subdue it and make it undergo Soul Shattering so that it will no longer be manipulated by the Soul Demon! To kill a Yin Puppet, you must stab its chest!"
Suddenly, I felt a movement behind me.
Instinctively, I turned around to look. What I saw nearly scared me to death!!
Another figure was crouched on the balcony—its face was mottled blue and purple, eyes bulging with bloodshot veins; it bared its teeth at me with its long tongue hanging out as it grinned wickedly.
Though this Demon was unrecognizable in appearance, I still recognized it immediately!
Li Yuan was one of the four girls who had already been confirmed dead after playing the Yokai Lantern Game.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, I had no choice but to rush at Chai Jingjing without hesitation. The Azure Dark Sword was drawn, and my Killing Intent awakened, my vision obscured by a crimson haze.
Chai Jingjing lifted her head, her eyes filled with even more resentment. She raised her long, claw-like nails—each over ten centimeters—and swiped them toward me.
Her speed was astonishing!
It exceeded my reaction limit completely, and I had no time to dodge. I could only raise the Azure Dark Sword in front of me to block. Having something to shield me was better than being caught by those ghostly claws.
Clang!
The claw struck the Azure Dark Sword with tremendous force, sending me flying backward. I crashed into the sofa behind me, flipping it over. I barely managed to keep from losing consciousness, thinking this was the end for me. To my surprise, Chai Jingjing let out a piercing scream that was sharp and deafening, making my head spin. But in that life-and-death moment, I couldn't afford to dwell on it. I struggled to get back up and saw Zhang Keke's claw resting on the Hundred Slicing Blade, emitting white smoke as the veins bulged grotesquely.
It was the Killing Intent!
I felt a surge of joy; Chai Jingjing's claw had come into contact with the Killing Intent on the Azure Dark Sword, and she had been injured by it. Despite being transformed into a Yin Puppet similar to an Evil Spirit through her Eerie Energy and resentment, her Daoist Practice was not high!
Seeing her scream in pain gave me hope. I knew this was my chance. I took out a Soul Binding Talisman that Zhengyang had given me and, gritting my teeth against the intense pain coursing through me, charged at Chai Jingjing while she was still reeling from the effects of the Killing Intent!
