A threat!
A blatant threat!
It was clearly telling Jiang Qiao: you'd better obediently enter the alley, or you wouldn't have an easy time today.
The evil spirit was terrifying.
All along the way, the alley had pursued and blocked him, making escape seem impossible.
For most people, what would they choose at a time like this?
The timid ones
would try to turn around and flee.
The bold ones might choose to "Live by Embracing Death," actually entering the alley and engaging the evil spirit in a psychological battle. In their eyes, they had already been targeted and had no way to escape.
No matter where they went, the alley would follow.
Clearly, this evil spirit was playing a game of cat and mouse.
Since that was the case, rather than wait for the female ghost's invitation, it was better to enter the alley proactively.
Perhaps there was still a sliver of hope.
There was actually nothing wrong with that line of thinking. With such an imbalance of information, it might even be the first choice of many formidable people.
But Jiang Qiao was different.
He was experienced and had encountered far too many kinds of evil spirits.
The female ghost kept pursuing him without killing him. It looked like she was playing around, showing off her power.
But in truth, there was another possibility: she simply couldn't kill him directly!
He had guessed before
that the source of this alley was most likely some kind of strange tale. If this female ghost was connected to it, then all that talk about good moods and bad moods was nothing more than typical Ghostly Lies.
Her core purpose
was to trick him inside!
Only by entering the alley, voluntarily stepping into the ghost domain, could it truly kill him!
Why?
