Stunned, I looked carefully and found that the face in the reflection was indeed smiling. It was a very strange smile.

I reached out and touched my face, incredulous. The face in the reflection was indeed me. But the problem is, I don't even have the time to cry right now. If I didn't laugh, then what about this reflection of my face?

Seeing that smile, I felt my scalp tingle and cold sweat start to form on my forehead.

Right now, the situation was completely different from what the suited man said. The face in the reflection disappeared before appearing again. Was this considered a success? Should I go?

Just as I was thinking, a gust of cold wind blew past me, causing my entire body to tremble.

The two candles that were stuck in the ground were extinguished with a "pu" sound. Not only the candles, but the incense was also extinguished. It was actually broken by the cold wind! It looked as if someone had broken it with their bare hands.

The wind can blow out candles, but can it blow out incense? This was obviously impossible!

As soon as the incense was extinguished, gusts of cold wind arose from all directions, causing the red lanterns in my hands to sway left and right, alternating between red and white.

Before I could react, the water bowl on the floor starts to vibrate as well. Ripples appear in the water, as though an earthquake has occurred.

A few seconds later, the water bowl cracked and spilled all the water inside.

Looking at this, my eyelids jumped in fright. I broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how foolish I was, I finally understood one thing.

Summon Souls... He had failed!

The man in the suit only said that he had succeeded in recruiting souls, yet he walked with a red lantern. If he failed, what would happen?

Just as I was thinking, a sharp and aged voice sounded in my ear.

"Sir Erlang!"

The sound was very close, almost close to my ear, and it felt as if someone was hiding behind my back and pressing their head close to my ear.

When I heard this sound, my scalp went numb.

Run! Run with all your might!

This is the only thought in my mind, thinking about Blind Grandma's terrifying face, I couldn't stand the fear any longer and immediately ran forward. The lantern in my hand swayed from side to side as I ran, its color changing constantly. The light flickered and dimmed, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

As I ran, I shouted for the man in the suit to save me.

To my despair, I didn't see a single hair on my head when I shouted at him. Where was the man in the suit? I cursed the man in the suit repeatedly in my mind, but I didn't dare to stop even for a second.

I ran from end to end in one breath, but I forgot one thing, this was a Ghost Village that could not be left behind.

When I reach the end of my run, it would be equivalent to returning to the origin. When I reach the locust tree, I would have nowhere to run!

The most terrifying thing was that when I returned to the starting point, a stooped figure was standing at the spot where I used to burn the incense. The figure was small and thin. It was leaning on a walking stick. With its back hunched and its head lowered, it walked towards me step by step.

"Husband officer, come with me. The bride is in a hurry."

As the figure walked, he waved his hand at me, and the voice that came out was sharp and aged. It's the Blind Grandma!

I was scared out of my wits, so I turned around and ran.

However, the moment I turned my head, the red lantern in my hand suddenly went out with a 'pu' sound. In an instant, my surroundings fell into darkness.

I was so scared my scalp exploded and my hair stood on end.

Because I suddenly thought of something, something that frightened me. The man in the suit had said that no matter what I saw or heard, I couldn't look back.

And just now … Did I turn around?

Due to the fact that I can't leave the Ghost Village, no matter how I run, I will always see the Pagoda tree. If I want to continue forward, I must turn my head. In other words, from the very beginning, I've been stuck in a dilemma. As long as I fail in recruiting my soul, I won't even have the chance to escape!

Because no matter how I ran, I had to turn around and look.

Once I turn my head, the consequences will be unthinkable.

As the lantern went out, my heart sank to the bottom, and an indescribable fear spread through the darkness.

Just as I was about to lift my foot and continue running, I felt a sudden weight on my shoulder that nearly broke my bones. Under the immense pressure, my knees couldn't bear the pressure and with a "putong", I kneeled on the ground. My knees hurt from the impact, as if they were about to break.

I lay on my hands and knees like a dog. The weight on my shoulders grew heavier and heavier, and beads of sweat began to form on my skin. I struggled, but I couldn't get up. Not only can I not stand up, I feel like my spine is about to break.

At this moment, I finally understood the consequences of turning around.

With a turn of his head, the three flames were extinguished and the ghosts pressed against his body. Blind Grandma was obviously trying to scare me just now, so I turned my head. In fact, she had always been lying on my back.

Now, however, it was too late.

"Come with me, bridegroom. The bride is waiting for you."

A sharp voice rang in my ears, making my scalp tingle. Then, two hands came out from behind my back and slowly embraced my neck. The two hands were pale and their nails were black. They were as thin as bones and the skin on their hands was full of wrinkles.

It was as if there was a layer of bark on the dried bone.

I was almost scared to the point of peeing, so I kept calling out to the man in the suit.

Two hands wrapped around my neck, then slowly moved up and touched my face. His chin, mouth, nose, and finally his eyes.

I could only watch helplessly as those two skeletal hands, with three fingers forming a claw, grabbed towards my eyes.

She … He's actually trying to blind me!

I jerked my neck back in horror, but the clawed fingers were still slowly reaching for my eyes.

"bridegroom, I'll take you to see the bride!"

Just as I said that, the three fingers of the claw suddenly sped up and dug into my eye socket. I subconsciously closed my eyes, only to feel pain from the swelling. She was actually slowly digging into my eyeball!

Upon thinking that it would become the same as Liu Qiang's, I was so scared that tears flowed from my eyes and I begged for mercy non-stop.

Just as my eyes were about to explode from the intense pain, a lazy voice suddenly sounded, "Hey! Blind woman! This brat is too damn good, he won't give me any face if you even touch him! "

These words made me anxious and furious. With so much time to spout nonsense, I might as well directly save him. I really thought it was a gang negotiation and gave him face!

Somehow, Blind Grandma really stopped after hearing this.

Although his eyeballs hurt, it was better than being blind.

Although Blind Grandma stopped me, she still lied on my back and pressed down on me until I couldn't breathe.

She laughed sinisterly, "Bullnose, this matter is none of your business. It's all about karmic retribution. You can't bear this debt of karma!"

"I don't care what kind of retribution it is, this brat's life is mine, you can't take it away!" You don't even have the ability to take it! "

The suited man's voice turned cold, "You blind woman, at least you had some power when you were alive. I didn't expect you to become someone else's slave after you died. I'll give you a chance. If you don't want your soul to scatter, tell me where your master came from!"

Blind Grandma laughed sinisterly once again. Her laughter was extremely ear-piercing, like a fingernail scraping against a blackboard, causing me to feel uncomfortable.

When I finished laughing, I felt my body lighten and the binding was gone. The sudden relief made me collapse to the ground.

"Want to run?" How could it be that easy? "

The man in the suit shouted, and then a strong wind blew all around, causing my hair to stand on end. I tried to open my eyes, but my vision was blurry from the injury.

He could barely see the short figure of the man in the suit holding onto a wooden sword, jumping around with something floating in the air. It looked like he was sparring with someone.

This was the first time I saw the suited man make a move, but it was a pity that his eyes were injured, so I was unable to see through the details.

In order to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, I almost crawled away from the battlefield. I couldn't help it, my spine was aching so badly that I couldn't stand up.

When I was a little further away, I sat down in the corner of a certain house. For safety's sake, I opened the red paper umbrella, not daring to move at all. Only after a while did the pain lessen a little.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a miserable scream from afar, it seemed to be the voice of a Blind Grandma.

Listening up to here, I couldn't help but rejoice secretly. It seems that the suited man had some abilities, at least the Blind Grandma was no match for him.

Just as I was thinking about this, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the house behind me. Instinctively, I turned my head and saw the lid of a coffin pop up, then fall down heavily.

A few seconds later, I only felt a flash in front of me and a figure immediately stands up.
