The shadows silently clung to their backs, but the two were completely unaware, fixated on the yin candles by the window.
Lu Fei hastily glanced behind Hutzi, his heart suddenly filled with dread.
Hutzi, feeling uneasy from his gaze, asked, "Boss, what's wrong? Is there something behind me?"
"Huzi, don't you feel anything at all?" Lu Fei said in a deep voice.
Huzi, who clearly had the shortest of buzz cuts, now had a strand of long black hair hanging over his shoulder.
"I...what should I be feeling?"
Huzi, sensing something was not right, nervously turned his neck to look behind him.
"Don't look back! If you do, you're done for!" Lu Fei immediately stopped him. At the same time, he also noticed a chill coming from his back.
It seemed that there was a long-haired ghost behind each of the four of them, just like the image captured by Su Ningxue's camera.
How did these things appear?
None of them had sensed it beforehand.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Huzi, with a stiff body, held onto his ghost-head saber and dared not move.
"Simple, use the ghost-expelling character."
Lu Fei remained calm, taking out a ghost-repelling character and slapping it behind him.
Since the ghost-repelling character could save Su Ningxue, it naturally could deal with the long-haired ghost.
The chill from the strands of hair that quickly slid past his fingertips suddenly dissipated, and the ghost-repelling character instantly turned to ashes.
Lu Fei then turned around, but there was nothing behind him anymore.
Seeing this, Hu Zi also plucked up his courage, took out a ghost-repelling character, and forcefully slapped it on his own back.
The chill dissipated, and the long hair draped over his shoulders instantly vanished.
"Boss, did the thing behind me leave?" Even so, Hu Zi didn't dare to turn around easily.
"It's gone."
Lu Fei gave him a glance and nodded slightly, but he was inwardly puzzled.
The number of long-haired ghosts was the same as what he had seen in Su Ningxue's camera, a total of five.
One of them was drawn to the dark candle, while the other four silently clung to their backs.
He knew that the black hair was everywhere and quite sinister, but this extent was too exaggerated.
Tiger could be overlooked, but he, Tianyuan, and Kudeng were all cultivators, and he had just used his spiritual power to enhance his five senses. How could they have fallen victim without even realizing it?
Lu Fei looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, not knowing when that thing would appear again. He tried to use his spiritual power to enhance his five senses once more, but he could only sense a strong yin energy and couldn't find where the long-haired ghost was hiding.
Any slight carelessness might lead to another ambush.
"Tiger, put an anti-ghost talisman on your back to prevent that thing from ambushing you."
After a brief thought, Lu Fei took out a new anti-ghost talisman and placed it on his back. Tiger followed suit.
He had Tiger keep watch outside while he turned his attention back to the dormitory.
"You say I'm taking advantage, so I will. I'll use you two as a test first." He didn't tell the two that there was a ghost behind them but instead observed them quietly.
In the dormitory, the candlelight flickered faintly, and outside the window, everything was calm, with not even a breeze stirring.
The two of them kept staring at the dark candle, completely unaware of the long-haired ghost behind them.
Black wax continued to flow down, and in no time, more than half of the dark candle had burned away.
"Why hasn't it appeared yet? Could it be that there is only one vengeful spirit?"
Tian Yuan looked at the remaining part of the dark candle, a pained expression on his face.
"Master Kuleng, I think this place is just like this. It's not as fierce as rumored. The outside world has been spreading false information. The vengeful spirit we saw earlier, with hair reaching her waist, isn't she that girl who was stabbed to death by her boyfriend?"
"Is that so? According to reason, after the malevolent ghost is eliminated, the malevolent energy should dissipate, but the malevolent energy in this building is still so strong." Kuleng was uncertain.
"It must be due to the sickle煞气应已减弱.但这栋大楼里的煞气还是这么重."苦灯疑惑不定.
"应该是镰刀煞的原因,鬼物虽然死了,但镰刀煞还没破,总不能因为一点煞气在这干耗一晚上吧?"天元摆手.
"也对."苦灯虽然心有疑虑,但等了这么久还没有新的鬼物出现,也只能作罢.
天元收起阴烛,两人准备离开.
"等等!"s. Even though the ghost is dead, the sickle curse hasn't been broken. We can't just waste the whole night here because of a bit of malevolent energy," Tian Yuan waved his hand.
"You're right." Although Kuleng still had doubts, since no new ghosts had appeared after such a long wait, he had no choice but to let it go.
Tian Yuan put away the dark candle, and the two of them prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Master Kudeng suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on the area behind Tianyuan, his expression becoming serious.
"Master Tianyuan, there's something behind you!"
"Oh?" Tianyuan immediately looked left and right, "A ghost?"
Lu Fei, outside the door, opened his eyes wide.
Could it be that Master Kudeng had discovered the long-haired ghost on their backs?
"Be careful, Master!" Kudeng suddenly threw his prayer beads towards Tianyuan's back.
The prayer beads landed, emitting a faint golden light.
Tianyuan turned to look and saw, at the spot where he had just been standing, a thin, black strand of hair, as fine as a chopstick, writhing slightly.
The movement was so slight and silent, and with the cover of the night, it would have gone unnoticed without close inspection.
At this moment, the prayer beads were pressing down on the black hair, rendering it immobile.
Lu Fei was somewhat surprised.
It turned out that what Ku Deng saw was not the shadow on their backs, but this strand of hair on the ground.
Where did this hair come from?
"There's actually another one! Fortunately, Master Ku Deng has keen eyes!" Tian Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and he raised the Seven Star Sword.
If it weren't for Ku Deng's reminder, the black hair would have already climbed onto his body.
"It should not be a new spirit; it's the one from before. This spirit is indeed not that simple!" Ku Deng looked slightly smug, "The resentment is hidden in the hair. As long as the black hair is not completely destroyed, the resentment will not stop. If the black hair is not completely eliminated, this spirit can regenerate."
Earlier, when Tian Yuan killed the long-haired ghost, a few strands of hair were left floating in the air, and no one paid attention to them at the time.
It turned out that, if it wasn't thoroughly eradicated, this black hair could still regenerate.
"So treacherous and tenacious, this time we must eliminate it completely!"
Tian Yuan, wielding the Seven Star Sword, unleashed a formidable display of sword techniques, thoroughly annihilating the strand of black hair, leaving not a trace behind.
"Master Kuden, it should be completely eliminated now, right?"
Kuden took a look, and with a wave of his hand, recalled the prayer beads.
"Amitabha, this ghost has been thoroughly transcended."
"Our cooperation was seamless, which actually benefited that kid outside the door." The two of them stopped, and walked toward the outside of the dormitory.
But just as they turned around, the black hair on their backs immediately began to move.
A strand of black hair crawled out along their temples, covering their eyes.
The two paused slightly in their steps.
"Eh? Where's that kid?"
"I'm afraid he was already scared witless the moment the vengeful spirit appeared. Sinisterium Pawnshop He was already in bad shape to begin with; passing it to this kid, there's even less hope!"
Lu Fei stood right outside the door, but they acted as if they couldn't see him, laughing and mocking loudly without restraint.
"Damn! Boss, are they blind?" Hu Zi was furious, his fists clenched until they creaked. "Should I go and help them see the light again?"
"So that's how it is, they will be blinded by spirits when they turn back!" Lu Fei, however, showed a smile of understanding. "Hu Zi, don't rush. Let the two masters stay blind for a bit longer."
The two men swaggered toward the door, their black hair covering their entire heads, the long ends reaching down to their waists.
It looked like they were wearing wigs, appearing both ridiculous and eerie.
Especially the originally bald Kudeng Monk.
But they couldn't see it at all. After reaching the door, they immediately turned back and started walking in circles inside the dormitory.
