Just as countless black hands were about to catch her, Xiao Xia quickly reacted, subconsciously leaned down and avoided her. She knelt on the ground, endured the huge fear and disgust in her chest, and forced herself to squeeze out from the group of ghosts.

Some of the ghosts' legs were rotten, emitting a disgusting stench. Some were bones at all, and some seemed to be floating decorations, which made Xiaoxia infer a lot while squeezing out. As the legs broke, the body on it fell to the ground and smashed towards Xiaoxia who was crawling, forcing her to dodge left and right.

Those terrifying faces were facing her when they fell, with the same expression, the same excitement, the same mouth, the same big opening, the black hole, the black teeth were exposed, and a few of them even fell off their heads, but they struggled to roll towards her, greedily sucking her breath.

Xiao Xia crawled desperately, and was almost bitten by the falling ghost several times. She was so scared that she had no energy to judge whether her behavior was right or wrong, but she was determined to escape from here. Gradually, she found that these ghosts were the same, with no eyeballs in the frame, and their ears were rotten, only their nose and mouth. They were pursuing her position with her smell, or because they were only these two functions left, they were very sensitive.

She may be able to hide her voice or even her body, but not her own scent! Because of this, they chased her like maggots attached to the bone!

Because Xiao Xia was hiking around on the ground, those ghosts without vision and hearing were always half a beat slower when they wanted to catch her. But when she climbed out of the more and more ghost groups, she found that the ghosts were also lying on the ground and catching her in parallel with her. But they crawled much faster than her, almost running around on the ground, as if there were huge black mice on the ground.

She stood up and ran, not deciding to the east, south, west and north, only to feel that the corridor was as big as a maze and had no thread. There was no room, with windows on both sides, and the windows were pitch black. She didn't know how long she had run, but although the place she ran differently every time, the ghosts could still catch up, but as she ran around, the number was no longer too dense and began to sparse. But this also made her encounter one or two, and gradually blocked all her paths wherever she ran.

She is their food, they want to eat her!

This perception made her feel huge panic, and it would be easier to kill her. She ran to the intersection of a cross and found that she was completely surrounded by ghosts and drooling from all directions. She felt like a small animal hunted by beasts, confused and frightened, but had no way to escape.

There was no choice but to open the window desperately, thinking that she would rather die than be eaten. However, the window was rusted and could not be opened at all, and the hungry ghosts around her had slowly narrowed their circle. The reason why they didn't take action was because everyone was scrambling to take the first bite.

They pushed and squeezed, and the "hoho" swallowed in their throats, slowly approaching her. This made Xiaoxia's horror indescribable. The despair was about to be torn and bitten, turning into pieces and swallowed into her stomach, leaving her brain blank, and only fear-

A crisp sound made Xiao Xia scream and hug her head.

"Here!" a woman shouted in a straight voice.

Xiao Xia turned her head and saw the glass in the window breaking, and the hand of a pale and extremely thin woman was hanging there, making a pulling position towards her.

"Hurry up!" The voice still urged.

The breath of the air outside made the hungry ghosts who were all focused on Xiao Xia realize something, and began to restlessly and pounce on Xiao Xia, which made Xiao Xia no longer have the chance to hesitate, so he had to reach out and let the hand pull her out of the window.

"Ah!" Xiao Xia shouted, because a hungry ghost grabbed one of her feet, leaving her hanging in the air, and she couldn't get out or down. The person who pulled her outside the window increased his strength, and the ghost in the room refused to let go, and Xiao Xia was pulled so hard that it was almost broken into two pieces. The ghost was still fumbled into her feet intoxicatedly, and he was about to bite her mouth.

She subconsciously said and kicked her. With a "click", the ghost's head tilted and fell off, and dense ants emerged from her neck.

A moment of relaxation caused Xiao Xia to be pulled out of the window and escaped from the mastery of the hungry ghosts. She gasped and found that she was sitting on the canopy of the tree, with a bottomless abyss below, so she hurriedly pulled the trunk tight.

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

"Thank you," she said, turning her head.

The nurse-like man squatted to the side. Under the nurse's pussy, a strand of black hair drooped down, blocking her face. She was cutting a wooden stick on her hand, one after another, and it was very hard, and the sharper it became.

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

"Do you know why this place is called the Hungry Ghost Road?" The nurse answered the question irrelevantly. Her voice was plain and had no tone.

"Why?"

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

"Then why are you - saving me?" Xiao Xia moved quietly to the side.

"I'm not trying to save you, I'm trying to enjoy you alone." She said, turning her head and smiling 'happily', without eyes or ears, and insects were in and out of the rotten flesh on her face.

"I use this." She raised the pointed wood in her hand, "use this to pierce your heart, pour it on the rice I have stored for many years, and then hang you on the top of the tree and air-dry it, and eat the meat slowly."

She said as she stretched out her hand to Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia dodged away and jumped down.

She would rather die!

In a trance, she felt like she saw Hong's good face, and then a severe pain made her faint.

&&&&&&&

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

He stood for a while, then turned and left resolutely. He understood that if the soul did not return to the body for a long time, she might not be able to wake up forever, so he didn't have time to feel distressed and had to do something.

When he came to the living room, Wanli happened to open the door and come in.

"How is it?" he asked anxiously. He hid it around and made sure that there was no surveillance on them.

Wan Li shook his head, "Yang Muyou is not in this city, or there is no entry record. He can't find him through legitimate channels, and even Hong Haohao is missing. At present, we are unable to use it and have no way to talk. Even if you plan to fight with him, you can't find him. How are you doing, have you developed something?"

Ruan Zhan took out the things he had taken from the fish tank of Gu and Fang's house that day from his pocket and put them on the table. It was a small flat and round stone, black and shiny, and smooth.

"It's so beautiful. This is what you came from Gu and Fang Jiashun that day?" Wanli picked up the stone and looked at it, exclaiming, "It's not a gem, right? Oh --" Before he finished speaking, he felt a numbness in his palms. The thorny and itchy feeling made him immediately put down the stone, "It will bite when it is alive."

"Look at his front, it's very smooth." Ruan Zhan picked up the stone and showed it to Wanli, and then flipped it over again, "But his back is still very rough."

"Did you just stab my hand instead of biting me?"

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, suddenly took out a knife, slid hard on his hand, and blood immediately rushed up. He dripped the blood on the rough side of the stone. The stone immediately moved, as if it was like life, and then sucked all the blood in without revealing it, as if nothing had dripped on it a few seconds ago.

Wanli looked at all this in surprise, and saw the stone trembling, the rough surface slowly becoming smooth, and finally still.

"This - this -" he looked up at Ruan Zhan and sought an answer.

"Yes, this is the key. When you entered Gu Yufang's bedroom that day, I accidentally felt a strange feeling in the fish tank. As a result, I happened to see a small fish accidentally touching the stone and immediately being sucked on it until I died."

"Until death, it's so cruel? Then this is a stone or a monster!" Wanli pulled out the stone with his fingers, feeling that it really has life. "What kind of mineral is used to check it in scientific research institutions."

"If you want to cause trouble, take it." Ruan Zhan said, "I don't know what this is anyway, but I remember reading an ancient book before, which is a work of legends about ghost stories. It records that there is a kind of stone that can absorb people's essence and blood, and it will completely suck it dry. I once thought it was a legend, but it seems that the world is so big that it is. Guess - how is that little fish?"

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

"answer."

Wanli was stunned, but he didn't expect the fact to be like this. "Is this why the corpses of those women completely deviated from the laws of physics?" Wanli was extremely surprised, "He - I mean where did Yang Muyou get such a terrible stone."

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

"Isn't the Taoist one who collects yin and replenishes yang?"

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

He stopped halfway through his speech, and at the same time, Wanli also felt the dizziness.

"What's wrong? The earthquake?"

"No!" Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth, "He attacked." He said he was running to Xiaoxia's room.
