Chapter 39: Two Wraiths Collide
The last mental shock almost knocked Wu Xian unconscious.
Fortunately, the Ghost Mother's emotions didn't erupt, so the rest would be easy to handle.
Wu Xian closed his eyes and fumbled his way out of 401. He bumped into things as he left, coincidentally closing the door to 401. Then, Wu Xian returned to 404, quietly closed and locked the door, and only then completed the handover with the others.
From this moment on.
Not a single one of them would leave room 404 again. Instead, they would take turns clapping to qualify as the Seeker.
Only the Ghost Mother, alone in 401, would wait for the arrival of 3 AM.
The survivors hid in 404, unable to open their eyes, pressing against the walls and anxiously awaiting any movement outside. When Wu Xian heard the sound of a key ring, his blood ran cold.
It turned out that the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother, who had been in 401, had reached her limit. No longer wanting to stay in the same room, her emotions became agitated, and she began clapping loudly.
Swish!
The corridor lights went out.
It wasn't like a woman's soft flesh that could be torn apart with a casual touch. The thing in his hand felt more like a piece of hard, sharp ice covered in thorns!
"Ah!"
The collision between the Greater Wraiths rendered the Concealing Breath Technique completely useless. The Child-Seeking Ghost Mother's immense aura was released without reservation.
Because among the remaining rooms, theirs was the only one that required a door to be opened!
The Door-Breaking Wraith walked to the door of 404, its large hand holding a tiny key and inserting it into the lock. The hearts of the four people inside leaped into their throats.
Then, the Door-Breaking Wraith kicked open the door to 401 and saw a woman's shadow reflected in the window.
But at that very moment.
The Breaking Door Wraith suddenly appeared downstairs at the Inn. Under the cold moonlight, its figure sent shivers down one's spine.
Even when he was alive, he had no feelings for Yu Yinghua, otherwise, he wouldn't have strangled her and buried her in cement in the supermarket's underground warehouse.
Tonight, the Ping'an Hostel was devoid of that woman's presence and had returned to his territory.
Upon seeing the Ghost Mother, the Door-Breaking Wraith's eyes lit up.
The Door-Breaking Wraith ignored the pain in its hands.
The tense atmosphere between the two Greater Wraiths suddenly vanished.
This made the Breaking Door Wraith, Wang Zhiwu, furious. Because from now on, there would be no more evil spirits to help him find people he could easily act upon, he decided to have a bloody good time tonight.
Even fierce beasts don't fight to the death on sight. The Door-Breaking Wraith merely showed deference to the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother and was forgiven, gaining the right to retreat unharmed.
Which room should it open next?
The Door-Breaking Wraith was restricted by the rules of the Blessed Land, allowing it to open only two doors per day.
There was no internet in the Blessed Land, but the communication signal was still active.
Wu Xian closed his eyes and picked up Lu Yuzhu's phone. Following the practice from earlier in the day, he fumbled his way through dialing the number he had prepared.
He had only formed a marital bond with this woman because she was very foolish and had utility value.
With a shriek from the Ghost Mother, the evil energy radiating from her erupted. The Door-Breaking Wraith's two large hands were repelled, and a large amount of filthy blood sprayed out.
The Ghost Mother raised her head, revealing a face even more terrified than the Door-Breaking Wraith's.
The ringing of the phone was not a pleasant melody but a recording Wu Xian had prepared beforehand.
Hearing the sound of the door breaking, the four people collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
The air grew heavy.
This was the fourth condition of Wu Xian's plan.
The plan was originally foolproof, but Yu Yinghua's death had made the Door-Breaking Wraith start thinking, something he couldn't have predicted.
Then, he hesitated.
"Esteemed Ghost Mother, this may be our only conversation. If you wish to know the truth about your daughter's disappearance, please answer the phone, press the speakerphone, and protect this phone from being damaged by anyone else."
The belief that evil spirits colliding would inevitably lead to a fight was merely a beautiful and arrogant human assumption. Wu Xian had never been so optimistic.
After exchanging a few words.
Second, Yu Yinghua was dead.
Since these humans could kill Yu Yinghua, they should have noticed her mark. Therefore... they would avoid the mark!
The immense evil energy suddenly retracted, becoming suppressed and solidified. The Ghost Mother was ready for battle. Under the Door-Breaking Wraith's tense gaze.
But now, the evil spirit she had become was also dead.
At this moment, it was furious.
The Breaking Door Wraith, having just received permission to leave the Ghost Mother's Territory, immediately stopped in its tracks.
BANG!
It first kicked open the door to 403. The room was pitch black, devoid of any human presence. The Door-Breaking Wraith let out an enraged roar.
Evil spirits are like ferocious beasts.
The Door-Breaking Wraith's figure instantly appeared in the middle of the corridor.
But this doesn't mean their relationship is entirely hostile.
Zhao Juan's phone rang.
The first door could be kicked open.
But it immediately sensed something was wrong with the feel of it!
The first reason was that his inn had been occupied by the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother last night, preventing him from satisfyingly killing living people.
The second door had to be opened with a key.
Three AM.
Everyone heard rhythmic clapping.
Clap, clap... clap, clap, clap...
He was pleasantly surprised to find that the door to 401 was only slightly ajar!
The Door-Breaking Wraith's face, missing patches of skin, revealed a terrifying smile. Since this room could be opened, it decided not to waste a precious key opportunity just yet.
After becoming an evil spirit, the Door-Breaking Wraith had never liked to think, especially with Yu Yinghua around. But now that Yu Yinghua was dead, it began to use its brain again after a long time.
The Breaking Door Wraith began to slowly retreat. The Ghost Mother had no intention of pursuing, and the clap game was about to begin again.
Therefore, to make two evil spirits fight, there was a fifth necessary condition!
"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"
She was already furious from this frustrating game, and the Door-Breaking Wraith's actions were a direct provocation to her, so she immediately launched an attack.
"Next, there's only one last thing to do."
This woman had no evil spirit aura; she was a living person!
So he immediately extended his two large hands and grabbed the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother. He had intended to tear the Ghost Mother apart and bathe in her fresh blood.
Since becoming an evil spirit, this was the first time he had felt fear.
However, the outcome was good.
The Door-Breaking Wraith took out its key ring and found the key to 404.
It immediately twitched strangely twice and let out a few strange cries towards the Ghost Mother. The Ghost Mother also cried back, which was the language of evil spirits, sounding like irritating gibberish to living people.
According to common sense.
The Door-Breaking Wraith suddenly turned its head.
Who this "other person" referred to was very clear.
He had already wasted his kicking opportunity. Now he needed to carefully consider which door to open with his key.
Make the two evil spirits encounter each other in rooms as far away from the four of them as possible.
They all fed on humans and had their own territories. The Child-Seeking Ghost Mother was stronger, so the Door-Breaking Wraith would actively avoid her.
The Ghost Mother extended her pale fingers and pressed the answer button on the phone.
"Speak!"
