At most, he would just be carried away by the ghost. Just based on the words of the suited man, I already feel that this matter tonight isn't very reliable.

However, if something were to happen, I would have to rely on the man in the suit. Even I couldn't believe it, and ever since Xiao Yun had reminded me, I had a feeling that the man in the suit was planning something.

Looking at him yawning and stretching, looking like he was about to sleep, I suddenly felt that this person wasn't as lazy as he seemed. Perhaps it was all just a disguise, or perhaps he was wearing a mask.

Under the lazy and wretched mask, perhaps only he knew what kind of face was hidden. If it wasn't for before, I wouldn't have been able to feel it even if I poked his scar and caused his face to change drastically.

The man in the suit had ulterior motives, but in any case, I had to rely on him now. It was just that in some matters, I had to be careful.

As time passed, the items needed for summoning souls had already been prepared.

I discovered that the large cloth bag on the man's back was like a hundred treasures bag. In the short span of a few days, I saw him take out countless items from inside. After taking them out, the bag was still as big as before. This made me feel quite strange.

The village was completely different from the night and the day. At night, the wind was cold and the air was gloomy, lifeless, and all sorts of ghosts were coming out to make trouble. It was all a set of Ghost Village. During the day, although it looked desolate and silent, it was much better than at night.

Regardless of whether it was the great locust tree that sealed the village or the things inside the coffin, they were all quiet. As for the things inside the Blood Coffin, I still don't know what they are, but after careful consideration, from Huang Quan's previous calm expression, it seems that either there's nothing inside, or it's very ordinary.

The possibility of the latter being too small, to be able to frighten a group of people who were neither human nor corpse to the point that they would piss their pants, that must be an incredible feat.

Then there was only one possibility left. During the day, when River Styx opened his restaurant, he did not see anything. Or rather, the thing inside had already escaped. If that was the case, wouldn't that thing still be hiding in the abandoned village?

Thinking of this, I started to feel uneasy.

For the rest of the day, I was very nervous, while the man in the suit slept outside the house.

When the sun was about to set and I still hadn't seen the return of the Yellow Springs, I started to worry. I am not worried about anything happening to Huang Quan, but rather, I am afraid that something might have happened to Xiao Yun. I don't know why, even though we just met a few times, but I felt a sense of familiarity towards Xiao Yun.

Once her heart had calmed down, she would always think of her gentle eyes and her beautiful face.

So I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if something happens to Huang Quan, Xiao Yun will also have the same problem. In this complex mood, I was almost restless. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, I couldn't help but wake up the man in the suit and ask him what was going on. Why isn't Huang Quan back yet?

The suited man leaned his back against the wall, opening his eyelids a crack and looking at me with his wrinkled nose, he said, "You don't have to worry, her abilities are not lower than mine. As long as the second level Seal doesn't break, she should be able to protect herself."

"What if she doesn't come back tonight?" I was in a hurry.

The man in the suit sat up straight, stretched his body and said, "It doesn't matter if she comes back or not, we have to proceed with the summoning of souls. With me here, you brat won't die."

I doubted that, but there was nothing I could do.

But when night fell, the man in the suit gave me a few words and then left on his short legs. Before leaving, he said that he would be lying in ambush. He'll appear and take care of that blind old woman when I've succeeded in recruiting her soul.

Otherwise, if the blind woman found out he was here, she wouldn't have appeared.

I didn't refute this point. I only told him to keep an eye on me. If anything goes wrong, I will save my life first. The man in the suit responded by picking his nostrils.

When the man in the suit left, I was left standing in front of the locust tree.

There was a field of death around the locust tree. With last night's lesson, I definitely wouldn't dare to enter the place of death. I could only stand outside. There was a bowl of water, two candles, three sticks of incense, and four stacks of paper money on the ground.

As for the white lanterns, I kept them in my hands. In order to prevent any accidents, I even tied the red paper umbrella to my back with a rope.

According to the man in the suit, I started wandering around at 8 o'clock in the evening with a white lantern in my hand.

As he walked, he called out to the Blind Grandma in a low voice.

I suddenly feel like this kind of behavior is courting death, I normally wouldn't even be able to hide in time, yet tonight, you actually took the initiative to provoke the Blind Grandma, no matter how I think about it, I feel terrified.

Tonight, the moon was so light that I could only barely see. I followed the village road, walking very softly and calling very softly. In addition to noticing the change in the white lanterns, I also had to observe what was in the dark rooms on either side of us, the things that were neither human nor corpse, but were sleeping in the coffins.

These things standing in groups were much more terrifying than the Blind Grandma.

Fortunately, there was no movement in the dark houses on both sides of me as I walked. Tonight, the village was strangely quiet, not even a sound of wind could be heard. He only felt that it was lifeless. Under the illumination of the moonlight, it seemed somewhat eerie.

I looked left and right, continuously shouting Blind Grandma.

Very quickly, I walked from the back of the village to the front of the village. Just like yesterday, the village would become a dead end at night and would never be able to leave. So when I walked from the back of the village to the front of the village, all I saw was the great locust tree at the back of the village.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still panicked.

I swallowed my saliva and didn't dare to get close to the Pagoda tree. I turned around and continued walking forward with a white lantern and a red paper umbrella on my back. I called out to the Blind Grandma as I walked.

Soon I came to the end and saw the great locust tree.

The entire process was extremely quiet, without any sound. Blind Grandma did not appear, nor did the coffin in the black mist move. Even the man in the suit did not know where he had run off to.

At the suit man's request, I had to walk back and forth, turning every time I reached the Pagoda tree.

After walking like this seven more times, I suddenly felt something on my back.

My heart leaped. It can't be that bad, right? Again?

I didn't dare to look back. Swallowing my saliva, I kept walking forward, back and forth, and on the ninth time, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck, as if something were blowing behind me.

The goose bumps began to rise. I craned my neck and kept moving, and my legs began to shake.

As I walked, I stared at the white lantern and called out to the Blind Grandma in a low voice.

At this moment, I felt even colder around my neck. Waves of cold wind came from nowhere and rushed into my collar, causing my skin to go numb from the cold.

Forcing back my fear, I walked back and forth.

At this moment, the flames in the white lantern flickered and dimmed, followed by a red glow that spread within it. In just a few seconds, the white lantern turned into a red lantern, as red as blood!

My eyelids twitched as I remembered the man in the suit's instructions. Without hesitating at all, my body trembled as I walked quickly to the candle, paper, and money. He then kneeled on the ground and lit up the candle and incense before starting to burn the paper money. As he burned the paper money, he chanted "Blind Grandma".

As instructed by the man in the suit, I stared down at the bowl of water the whole time.

The flame of the candle flickered, flickered, flickered, and shone through the reflection of the water in the bowl. When I didn't see any ghosts, I was shocked by myself.

It was said that one could not look in a mirror at night. Otherwise, it would be easy to see something unclean. It was likely that the water in the bowl was similar to the mirror.

When the paper began to burn, I noticed that my shoulders seemed much heavier. The cold air made the hairs on my neck stand on end.

When the first stack of paper money was finished, the water in the bowl, which was originally calm and still, suddenly rippled. It looked as if a small stone had been thrown inside.

When the water calmed down, I was shocked to discover that my reflection actually became blurry. It started to slowly fade and within a few seconds, it disappeared!

I looked down at the water that night, but there was nothing in sight. In my reflection, there was only the moon hiding in the clouds.

The suited man said that when my reflection disappeared from the water, it would signify the success of soul summoning.

Thinking of this, I decided to get up and leave.

At this moment, the water in the bowl suddenly rippled again.

As the water rippled, my face appeared in the reflection. I was stunned. It didn't sound like the man in the suit said it.

Just as I was at a loss as to what to do, the face in the reflection suddenly smiles weirdly …
