The moment that terrifying voice appeared, the three felt their souls freeze!

　　They slowly turned their heads and saw the old man who was clearly dead, appearing in front of them again!

　　Only this time, the old man was not holding a broom in his hand, but... a sharp pair of scissors!

　　He slowly approached the three, the smile on his face becoming more and more twisted and eerie.

　　The wrinkles seemed to be about to engulf his features, and the cold aura radiating from him grew stronger.

　　All three knew that the old man in front of them was probably no longer human!

　　Realizing the danger, they wanted to escape immediately, but they found they couldn't move their feet no matter what!

　　Their legs, as if filled with lead, were incredibly heavy!

　　"Is this the power of a ghost...?"

　　A cold chill swept through Ning's heart!

　　They were too weak, they had almost no power to fight back in front of the ghost!

　　Seeing the old man walking towards him step by step with the scissors in his hand, Bai behind him calmly said:

　　"Old man, we didn't deliberately touch anything in the temple, but Guang... doesn't like these things, it's what brought us here."

　　As soon as she mentioned the name Guang, the ferocious expression on the old man's face froze.

　　Then, his lifeless, dead fish eyes filled with immense terror!

　　He turned his gaze and stared fixedly at Bai.

　　"What are you saying..."

　　Sweat trickled down Bai's palm, but her expression remained unchanged. She continued:

　　"If you don't believe me, we can show you something."

　　As soon as she finished speaking, Ning also sensed the change in the old man's aura and immediately took out Guang's memorial tablet.

　　Seeing the memorial tablet, the old man, as if he saw something terrifying, suddenly screamed in terror, dropped the scissors in his hand, turned and ran towards the depths of the forest...

　　The moment he left, the three of them finally regained control of their bodies.

　　Cold sweat soaked their backs, they were all panting.

　　Liu said to Bai in admiration:

　　" Bai, you're still the best!"

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

　　"You managed to scare that old ghost away with just a few words!"

　　Bai let out a breath and said:

　　"I just tried it, I still have other ways if it didn't work..."

　　"... Now it seems that the events described in the annotations of this picture are likely not consistent with what happened back then. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have been so afraid of Ning's memorial tablet!"

　　"Even a ghost is afraid, it shows just how powerful the resentment of the owner of this memorial tablet is after his death!"

　　Ning glanced at the memorial tablet, feeling a chill down his spine, but still put it away, and said:

　　"Let's leave. The old ghost might come back at any time, and there seem to be no other useful clues here..."

　　After all this delay, it was already noon.

　　 They returned to the resting area provided by the village for tourists and went to the cafeteria to get food.

　　As soon as they finished getting their food, they saw a beautiful woman wearing jeans walking towards them, she said to them:

　　" Are you free?"

　　Ning and Liu didn't respond.

　　Bai smiled:

　　"Yes, what's up?"

　　The beautiful woman in jeans extended her hand towards her.

　　"My name is Tang . Would you come to a meeting with us?"

　　"Most of the other blood gate participants are here."

　　Bai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

　　"No problem."

　　She followed Tang and went to a larger room on the second floor.

　　Four other blood gate participants were sitting inside.

　　Ning scanned them and frowned:

　　"How come three more people are missing?"

　　As soon as he asked this question, the expressions of two of the people present became extremely ugly.

　　Judging from their expressions, those three people were probably not coming back.

　　"What exactly happened? Is it convenient to talk about?"

　　Perhaps Bai's beauty played a role, as soon as she asked this question in a gentle voice, one of them slowly replied:

　　"... Nothing much, they just teamed up and went through the jungle to the temple on Heiwu mountain, looking for a way out."

　　"We tried to stop them, but they insisted on going, and promised that no matter if they found clues in the temple on the mountain or not, they would come down within an hour."

　　"The mountain is not high, and there are very neat stairs built for going up and down, it won't take more than ten minutes... However, we waited for almost three hours at the bottom and didn't see them coming back, so we thought they might have encountered something on the mountain, just when we were considering whether to go up the mountain to rescue them..."

　　By this point, the man's fear had almost overwhelmed him.

　　As if he recalled some horrifying scene, he suddenly covered his mouth and started to dry-heave!

　　Although the companion beside him seemed more stable, his face was pale as paper.

　　Seeing their situation, no one urged them, and they quietly waited.

　　When the man who was dry-heaving finally stabilized the spasms in his stomach, he said in a hoarse voice:

　　"Just as we were considering whether to go up to rescue them or leave, something suddenly rolled down from the mountain and almost hit us..."

　　"When it finally stopped on the open ground, we saw what had rolled down from the mountain..."

　　"It was... it was their bodies!"

　　Hearing this, the breathing of everyone in the room stopped.

　　Dead silence.

　　The man who had been dry-heaving, with empty eyes, muttered:

　　"Exactly the same as the body outside the guest house this morning... exactly the same..."

　　"Their heads were ripped off... It was a ghost... It must be a ghost!"

　　"There's a ghost in the temple on that mountain!"

　　Seeing him become somewhat neurotic, the companion beside him slapped his face forcefully, handed a bottle of cold water to his mouth, and after a few sips, the man's emotions finally stabilized, he stared at the table in front of him, remaining silent.

　　After a long time, Tang sighed.

　　"Everyone, we've seen the current situation."

　　"We don't know what's going on with this blood gate, it's supposed to be the second blood gate, but it's incredibly difficult..."

　　"To be honest, I'm actually a veteran who has passed five blood gates. I'm here to bring new people, but this blood gate is just too difficult. It's even worse than the fifth blood gate I passed before!"

　　"If we don't work together, we might get wiped out this time!"

　　At the sound of "wiped out", except for Ning, Bai and Liu, everyone's faces changed dramatically!
