Chapter 119 - Slaying the Ghost Head

I didn't have time to think about what had happened as I quickly chased after the green lantern. But just as he chased into the forest, the lantern was gone!

He suddenly turned around and saw the empty space behind him and the forest in the distance. In the darkness, it appeared to be in a state of chaos.

"Xu Huo." Zhao Qi suddenly called out to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked, looking around for the lantern.

"The mahogany nail you gave me is gone."

I was stunned. I turned around and saw that he was empty-handed. He subconsciously moved his hands behind his back.

My heart sank when I felt nothing.

My bag is gone!

A bunch of guys are in the bag, what's the point of me if the bag is gone?

"Look!" Zhao Qi suddenly pulled at me, raising his hand and pointing towards the depths of the forest.

Looking in the direction he pointed, I was stunned again.

Not far away, a red lantern was floating under a large tree.

"Let's go take a look."

Just as he was about to reach the lantern, it actually moved. It floated in the air and quickly floated deeper into the forest.

"What should we do?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Chase!" I made up my mind.

I have no idea what kind of situation Zhao Qi and I are in now, so I simply can't think of anything.

The biggest problem is that my bag is gone. I don't have any magic tools on hand, so I can't even get out of here.

The lantern moved so fast that Zhao Qi and I had no choice but to shake it off and start running.

After running for about five minutes, the lantern suddenly stopped in midair.

At the same time, a few gloomy rays of green light were faintly emitted from the nearby forest.

Zhao Qi and I looked at each other as we walked towards the green light.

That Red Lantern actually flew to the top of my head and floated together with me, as if it was just there for us to see.

Zhao Qi wanted to ask a few times but I stopped him with my eyes.

I don't know what's going on between the two of them, but all I can do is try my best to stay calm and alert. If I lose my composure, the two of them might not be able to deal with this unknown danger.

Just as he took a few steps forward, he suddenly heard a man's miserable shriek in front of him.

I stopped and quickened my pace.

When we were almost to the green light, Zhao Qi and I stopped at the same time.

Zhao Qi sucked in a breath of cold air, but I was so shocked by the scene in front of me that even my breathing almost stopped.

An ancient building appeared in front of them. From the looks of it, it was actually a temple!

I couldn't help but think of the old photograph, but I couldn't tell for a moment if it was the temple in the background.

Green lanterns hung from the eaves of the temple. Under the glow of the dark green light, dozens of people could be seen kneeling on the ground in front of the temple!

Looking at the weird scene in front of me, my body couldn't help but tremble.

"Could these people be from the corridor …?" Zhao Qi asked halfway, he covered his forehead and shook his head with power.

"Let's see what happens first."

I knew very well what he was feeling. From our distance, it was impossible to see the faces of those kneeling in the light of the green lanterns. However, it was almost certain that these people were the corpses that were kneeling in the corridor. I can't even explain the situation in front of me, let alone the shock in his heart.

After a while, nothing happened.

I can't help it, I can't stay in the woods like this all the time.

Just when I was about to say something to Zhao Qi to support him here, I touched over and suddenly saw a tall man walking out from the entrance of the 'temple'.

The man walked into the kneeling crowd with a shining machete in his hand. He looked left and right before stopping beside a kneeling man. He slowly raised the machete with both hands.

At this moment, a small figure at the side suddenly jumped up and spread his arms in front of him.

"Don't kill my mother!"

The machete reflected the lantern light, and a cold light shone on the little figure's face. I immediately recognized that it was the little ghost that we had been following from the morgue!

"Eh?" The person holding the saber exclaimed, as if he had discovered something strange.

However, he did not put down the machete. Instead, he slowly raised it.

When the cold light from the blade shone on his face, my body suddenly jolted. I almost subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"

I shouted for him to stop because I could see the man's face and see the cruelty of his next move.

However, he never would have thought that this loud roar filled with confidence was like a huge rock thrown into an ancient well. The people who were originally kneeling on the ground, as if they had just awakened from a great dream, suddenly exploded.

The crying and screaming became one, a woman took the kid into her arms, jumped up and ran away screaming.

The person holding the machete was both shocked and furious. He raised the machete and chopped towards the woman.

As Zhao Qi and I yelled "stop," we hastily rushed forward.

Seeing that there wasn't enough time to save her, a red light suddenly flashed, and the Red Lantern floating above my head shot up to the sky like an arrow.

The red light suddenly shone brightly, covering all the green light.

Just as the knife was about to touch the back of the woman's neck, other than the person holding the knife, the rest of them disappeared in a flash of red light!

That person slashed the air and roared. He actually turned around and ran into the temple.

I could no longer care about anything else, gritting my teeth as I chased after him.

I only came here with Zhao Qi in order to find that man's corpse, but everything that happened just now is telling me that the person who did this is actually the man that I should have called my father — — Xu Ronghua!

Just as he was about to enter the temple entrance, he heard a familiar voice from above:

"Huohuo, run! Otherwise, we won't be able to go back! "

"Zhang Xi?"

I abruptly stopped and raised my head. The Red Lantern flashed twice, then floated towards the opposite direction.

I wanted to look at the temple unwillingly, but the instant I lowered my head, I saw a plaque on top of the door. The words on it suddenly disappeared.

The handwriting was disappearing so fast, and the light was dim, that I could see only four words, but I couldn't make out what they were.

"Huohuo, run! "Go back quickly!" Zhang Xi's voice sounded again.

Looking through the door of the temple, he could see that everything inside had become blurry.

I still wanted to chase after him, but when I faced the man and asked him about the truth, I glanced at Zhao Qi beside me and had no choice but to suppress my complicated feelings and dispel my impulsiveness.

"Let's go!" I pulled Zhao Qi along, and turned around to follow the Red Lantern.

After running a few steps, he suddenly felt a sense of vertigo, as though he had fallen from a high vantage point in a dream.

After which, he opened his eyes and saw several familiar faces.

"Damn, you're finally awake!" Guo Sen wiped his face and pulled me up.

I focused my mind, and in the blink of an eye, I saw that Zhao Qi was being pulled up from the ground by Da He, and we were actually still in the crematorium, by the crematorium …

"Why did you guys come in as well?" I asked Guo Sen.

Guo Sen pointed to the back door, "There are other people there too. From the window, they saw that you and Zhao Qi fainted, so they opened the back door and came in."

I looked out the window. It was dark.

"Have we always been here?" I asked.

Shen Qing said: "Li-jie has examined you before, your heartbeat and breathing are very stable, as if you are asleep, and won't be able to wake up no matter what. I thought about the last time I was in the jail. "I didn't dare to let Captain Guo and the others touch you."

Zhao Qi looked at me with a complicated expression, then turned to ask Guo Sen: "How are the corpses?"

"Those who were kneeling have fallen down, the three bodies that were missing …" Guo Sen shook his head at me.

"Damn!" Da He suddenly exclaimed as he pointed ahead with his round eyes.

Following the direction of his finger, I felt my scalp tingle and the back of my spine explode.

In the crematorium where I had tried to get in, two bodies, a man and a woman, were kneeling opposite each other.

The two corpses were naked. Furthermore, they had no heads. However, their necks were pressed against each other, forming a strange arched space between their bodies!

Ma Li and the others that had rushed over quickly confirmed that the two corpses in the furnace were indeed the man and woman that had been discovered together with Xu Ronghua.

However, their heads and Xu Ronghua's corpse had mysteriously disappeared.

After exiting the crematorium, I called Duan Chengfeng again, but his phone was turned off.

Looking at the color of the sky, I told Zhao Qi that I want to go to the Watch Room to see the Old He tomorrow. Among all the people I know, other than Duan Chengfeng, perhaps he is the only one who can give an answer to today's matters.
