Chapter 343: Yinshan Village

Bai Liu stroked his chin in thought for a moment, "That's not very nice, committing bigamy."

Mu Sicheng was horrified, "Is that all you can think of? Do you know how hard it took me to escape! I was held down to worship them!"

Bai Liu's eyes signaled, "Is that the bruise you got when you escaped?"

"Not only that." Mu Sicheng was furious, "I had run out, but when I turned around and saw that you had been arrested to marry the thirty-odd brides, I panicked, so I turned back to save you."

Mu Sicheng more and more think more and more angry, raised his hand viciously smashed the wall: "The result of the damned save back is a ghost, I take it across the ghost bridge when it bites two mouths, making me breath did not hold, almost fell off the bridge of paper ghosts to be drowned!"

Bai Liu glanced over and saw that Mu Sicheng had two bloody teeth marks on his shoulder.

"Didn't you take a candlestick and shine it on each other?" Bai Liu asked.

Mu Sicheng gave Bai Liu a spiteful look, "Everything I had on me was seized during the worship and the candlestick was taken away."

"Though you didn't save me, and the person you saved wasn't me." Bai Liu smiles euphemistically, "It wouldn't be wise to turn around and save someone in that situation, but thank you."

Mu Sicheng: "......"

How ...... he felt Bai Liu was connoting him stupid ......

Mu Sicheng muttered, "...... In case it is, if it is really you, dead this ground Fang Ke I am alone, I do not know how to go out."

Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng with an afterimage, "You think you have to rely on me to get out, which means you think I'm better at handling this kind of scene than you are, so why do you think I'll be trapped when you can get out?"

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Shit, yeah!

Mu Sicheng chagrinedly picks at his face, "It's the first time I've been in this situation, I was stunned ......"

"It's okay, once you're back, you'll be able to stabilize yourself if you go again." Bai Liu held up the candlestick and walked inside.

Mu Sicheng stayed for a moment and followed, "...... Bai Liu, what do you mean? You shouldn't be ......"

Bai Liu hmmmed faintly, "I'm going to go again."

Mu Sicheng was devastated, he was in a hurry to stop Bai Liu who was walking forward: "I told you that there are many ghosts over there, it's very dangerous, what are you going to do!"

Bai Liu held up the candlestick as he quietly looked at Mu Sicheng: "Because I'm going to find Mu Sicheng."

Mu Sicheng was stunned, "What looking for Mu Sicheng, I'm not right here ......"

Mu Sicheng's unspoken words stopped in Bai Liu's calm gaze.

The features of his face gradually flattened and disappeared, his complexion became blue and white, and the sounds he made became humming and dull, as if he were talking under the surface of the water.

The faint light of the fire washed back and forth between "Mu Sicheng" and Bai Liu.

The firelight reflected the shadows of the two people on the wall, Bai Liu's shadow was clearly visible, while Mu Sicheng's shadow was layered and blurred, as if it was about to disappear at any time, flashing with many overlapping shadows.

"How can this be ......" Mu Sicheng dully touched his face which had only the outline of his vague features, "Am I a ghost? But I have a shadow ah ......"

Bai Liu held the candlestick close to Mu Sicheng, flipped his wrist upwards and put it in front of Mu Sicheng, the nose on Mu Sicheng's face twitched subconsciously twice, he seemed to smell the smell of the living people on Bai Liu's body, and couldn't help but inhale twice.

As the anger from Bai Liu's body entered Mu Sicheng's nostrils, the blurred features on Mu Sicheng's face became clear again.

Mu Sicheng realized what he was doing after sucking Bai Liu's anger, he froze for a moment and took two steps back in fear: "Don't come over! I'm really a ghost, I was just sucking the anger from you ......"

Bai Liu pulled his shirt down to cover his wrists as he calmly raised his eyes to Mu Sicheng, who was about to go crazy across the room : "You're not a ghost, but you're about to become one."

"You are a disembodied living soul."

Mu Sicheng dumbfounded, "A disembodied ...... living soul?"

Bai Liu hmmm'd, "The short answer is that your body has suffered great damage due to some circumstance, possibly being snatched and hijacked to use as a substitute, or possibly being near death, causing your soul to leave your body and wander around."

"If there isn't a way to get your living soul back into your body before we return to the Yang world at twelve midnight, then your soul will really stay on the netherworld path, turning into a ghost devourer in this underground catacomb."

Bai Liu glanced down at his cell phone time, "If my phone hadn't malfunctioned, it would be 5:00 p.m. now, with seven hours to go."

Mu Sicheng's facial features began to fade away again after he moved away from Bai Liu, and his voice became jarred again, "Seven hours should be enough."

Bai Liu moved closer to Mu Sicheng again, reaching out and letting Mu Sicheng suck a little more of the anger from the back of his hand.

After being snorted again, Bai Liu's face pales: "Seven hours is the most optimistic scenario."

"Your current state, where you are about to turn into a ghost, and already need to suck in the life of the living to maintain your soul form, there is only one possibility." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng, "That is that your body is about to die."

Mu Sicheng took two steps back and raised his hand to shield his eyes, he actually began to feel the candlestick in Bai Liu's hand stinging his eyes, he looked to his own hand in front of his eyes and a chill ran down his spine.

His hands had somehow become like those of the devils, crooked and inverted, green and white and oozing, and dripping down.

Bai Liu raised the candlestick and shone it at Mu Sicheng, whose eyes had become bloodshot: "It is imperative that we help you find your body, or else my anger won't be able to protect your soul form for long."

Mu Sicheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What would happen to me if I didn't make it back to my body before I died?"

Bai Liu looks at Mu Sicheng: "You will die."

"Then you will be like those ghosts, gradually forgetting that you are a human being, slowly losing your human form and becoming inhuman, with your body limbs inverted and your yin and yang indistinguishable, walking in the human world only to serve the tiger and look for a substitute."

"But I can hang on to your soul form with a mouthful of anger, and just find your body until then."

Bai Liu held out his wrist to Mu Sicheng and asked him to suck his anger.

Mu Sicheng stood in the darkness without saying a word, and did not come up to suck Bai Liu's anger, but did not go away either.

Bai Liu did not withdraw his hand, still holding it calmly as he waited for Mu Sicheng to open his mouth.

"What would happen to you if I finished sucking the life out of you and hadn't found my own body yet?" Mu Sicheng finally spoke, his voice a little muffled this time.

Bai Liu calmly replied, "The living are lifeless, the walking dead are just flesh, I will become a zombie."

Mu Sicheng's lips pursed as he took two more steps back, seemingly ready to flee Bai Liu.

Bai Liu laughed as if he was watching a rare event, and he asked Mu Sicheng with amusement, "Why do you think I would give up all my anger for you and turn into a zombie?"

"I'll only bail you out if I can ensure my own safety, I'll bail you out because you're useful, you're one of the few living people in Shady Hills Village who still obeys me, you're worth more alive than dead."

Mu Sicheng took another step back, and there was a noticeable wavering in his voice, "...... You're so good, you'd be better able to handle all this on your own instead, wouldn't you?"

Bai Liu held up the candlestick and took a step forward, passing his hand again in front of the face of Mu Sicheng, whose features were fading away, his voice shallow, "Didn't that grave robber named Kong Xuyang say that we were bound teammates?"

"If this Yinshan village is divided into fixed teams and various camps, is there some sort of competition going on here?"

"Assuming this is the match ......" Bai Liu looked up at Mu Sicheng who was hidden in the shadows, "then before the match started, at that time I chose you as my teammate, and I believed in my own choice, so you should be valuable and will help me win the match."

"I don't like to lose, so I need you alive."

"Now you have two choices in front of you, the first is to obey me directly and feed on the anger I give you right now to preserve your soul form, the second choice is to run away and then find a place to wait for death while I capture you back and forcefully feed you anger to keep you alive."

Bai Liu sent his wrist forward a step as he gazed at Mu Sicheng with no emotion on his face : "Which one do you choose?"

This time Mu Sicheng didn't back down.

After a long time, Mu Sicheng's face cracked out five senses, looking hideous and stoic as he approached Bai Liu's wrist and clenched his fist to take a bite.

Bai Liu's face whitened a little more as he withdrew his grimy wrists and rubbed them, looking over to Mu Sicheng with a smile, "Thanks for the cooperation, teammate."

Mu Sicheng just wanted to take a deep breath, and then stopped inhaling in frustration after realizing that he was just a wisp of soul that couldn't inhale, "...... How long can your anger probably last for me to inhale before I turn into a zombie?"

Bai Liu pondered for a while, "I should be able to last more than an hour, I am a young and strong man after all, my yang energy is still sufficient."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu's thin shoulders and repeated skeptically, "Young adults?"

Bai Liu smiled back, "Any questions?"

Mu Sicheng paused and shook his head quickly, "No!"

Bai Liu turned his head back toward the darkened passageway, "Well, I don't need you to worry about my affairs here, I know in my own heart, deal with your own affairs first, do you have any impression of when your soul left your body?"

Mu Sicheng hesitated, "...... no."

Bai Liu was not surprised, but just nodded his head to show his understanding: "A living soul leaving the body is usually very difficult to be detected by the person himself, you just feel that you have been walking around, and you don't know when you ran out of your body, you think you are still a living person, in fact, at this time, as long as you look back, you will realize that your body is lying in the same place, and hasn't moved at all. "

"Let me ask it in a different way." Bai Liu ponders for a moment, "Do you remember when your shadow became blurry?"

Mu Sicheng answered quickly and surely this time, "My candlestick was taken away during the worship, and I'm sure my shadow was still normal during the worship!"

"That means the separation of your body and soul was after the wedding hall." Bai Liu held up the candlestick and shone it towards the path in front of the cloister, "Then let's go back the same way to find it, remember the way to the wedding hall?"

Mu Sicheng did not reply.

Bai Liu paused for a moment as he lowered the candlestick in his hand to the ground, the firelight wavering.

On the ground lay a face-distorted devourer, only vaguely discernible as a bit of Mu Sicheng, coiled up in a ball of agony, spitting water out of its mouth, its eyes all black.

Bai Liu crouched down on one knee and held out his wrist for Mu Sicheng to take two mouthfuls, Mu Sicheng choked and gagged twice, and his twisted body returned to normal, with his facial features appearing.

Mu Sicheng lifted his head, a thick layer of black aura surfacing on his face as he reluctantly answered Bai Liu's earlier words, "Still, still remember some of the way, but I can't remember some of it anymore ......"

"Normal, you transforming into a devourer is going to gradually forget your memories of your life." Bai Liu helped Mu Sicheng up, "The fact that your raw soul yin qi is gathering so quickly means that your body is in a bad condition right now, we have to hurry."
