Name:The Wife of a Ghost Author:
I was curious and looked up. Everything here was exactly the same as what we saw on the way here. What was there to be curious about!?

"Shen Tuo, what are you looking at?!"

Almost at the same moment that I asked this question, my eyes also saw the thing that Shen Tuo was staring at.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if this street was a little different from any other, but it's just the same as the one we've been through before.

For example, the flower pot in the corner that Shen Tuo was currently looking at had two large white flowers blooming by themselves in the night. I looked carefully for a moment and it wasn't hard to see that the two flowers looked exactly the same as the first time we saw them, whether in terms of shape or color, or even in the direction of where the flowers were blooming!

I couldn't help but tighten my grip on Shen Ta's clothes.

Shen Tuo knew that I had also discovered the strangeness of this place. He turned his head and solemnly said three words to me, "Ghost Wall."

I've heard of such things before. It's just that no matter how we walk, there's no end to it, and it's always repeating itself endlessly in one place, but the situation we're going through is clearly different from what the Wall-Hitting Ghost is. We have no way to go on forever, we only have an endless road to die.

"The Wall-Hitting Ghost you're talking about is the kind people encounter the longest, and this kind of infinite cycle of infinite death is another kind of Wall Ghost. "We can only get out of here if we find the things that are manipulating these walls."

Hearing Shen Ta's words, I finally understood that there was actually a ghost controlling things like the Wall-Hitting Ghost. Thinking that there might be a ghost in my surroundings, I started to feel a little afraid.

Shen Tuo seemed to have felt my trembling and couldn't help laughing out loud. "You've already seen a ghost of Zhao Xue's level. It's just a wall attack, what are you afraid of?"

To be honest, I don't know what I'm afraid of. I am no longer afraid of Zhao Xue, not even of the female ghost and the old man I met in the day, but I don't know why, but I feel an incomparable fear of everything that is happening here. I don't know when or where a ghost will appear and attack me unexpectedly.

It was only later that I realized that what I was afraid of at this moment was not evil spirits at all, but the unknown — the fear of the unknown and the uncertain.

"The person controlling this situation might not be a ghost, but an object. It has been bestowed with some kind of power, so it can control these walls and form a protective barrier around the intruders."

At this point, I began to understand that it had something to do with what was here. And the first thing I thought of was the pot of flowers in the corner, the ones that appeared everywhere and looked exactly the same.

After I explained it to Shen Tuo, he displayed a look of realization. Without saying anything further, he took out a rune from his bosom and pointed his sword towards the flower in the corner. The rune seemed to have understood Shen Tuo's words and started thinking about the flower in the corner.

The sigil instantly stuck to the flower pot and burned from bottom to top. Following that, the pot seemed to have received a heavy blow and exploded. The fragments of the two flowers and the pot fell down.

I hastily went closer and observed carefully. It was only now did I realize that there were only two white flowers with no leaves on them.

A name suddenly appeared in my mind — the Resurrection Lily.

The Resurrection Lily, as they call it, is divided into white and red, while the red Resurrection Lily is on the way to the Bridge of Helplessness. The flower leaves are not to be seen during the entire flowering period, and when the flower leaves grow, the flowers will not yet bloom, and by the time the flower blooms, the leaves will have fallen.

And the one in front of me is the white Resurrection Lily.

Just by looking at the strange identity of this flower, I can be sure that everything here is the doing of this flower pot!

Then, I raised my foot and stamped the white flower on the ground. However, the flower had already turned into mud, but the wall before my eyes hadn't changed at all.

It was only then that I understood what the old man was saying. No wonder he stopped answering the next question.

"How can there be no reaction?" I raised my head and looked guiltily at Shen Ta, ashamed of my misjudgement. However, Shen Tuo didn't seem to care about this. Instead, he had already gone to the surrounding walls to look around.

I also hurried to the opposite direction from Shen Ta and observed the wall in front of me as he did.

"There's nothing here. If it wasn't for the flower pot, then something must have been hidden in the wall. Or rather, something was extremely small, and we haven't found it yet."

After Shen Ta explained it, I also felt that it made sense, so I searched even more diligently.

After searching for an unknown amount of time, I tried searching every inch of the place that I could find, but I couldn't find anything else. This wall was way too tall for me. It was at least 2.5 meters tall. Naturally, I was unable to discover what was on it.

I raised my head again and looked up in the sky, lost in thought: "Shen Tuo, tell me, could there be some other little thing on the wall that we can't see from this angle?"

Seeing that I didn't understand, he started to explain, "The sigil I just threw can destroy everything. Since only the flower pot fell, it means that there is nothing else on the wall."

But I still hesitated.

"What if it's a small bug, or something the size of a sesame seed, even if it is destroyed, it won't fall down!"

Shen Tuo shook his head, appearing to be helpless against my stubbornness, but he felt that my words were not unreasonable, so he simply took out another rune and chanted an incantation. The rune emitted a pale yellow light, sweeping back and forth on the wall a few times before returning to Shen Tuo's pocket.

Only then did Shen Tuo confirm that there was indeed nothing on the wall.

All the possibilities that I could think of had been rejected. I once again sank into deep thought as I looked around me in a daze. My surroundings had become much brighter than before. Could it be that the world was about to break into daylight?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of an even more serious problem — — When the day comes, those strange ghosts will definitely appear on the streets once more. At that time, we won't be able to use our talismans brazenly and will be responsible for being eaten alive by tens of thousands of ghosts …

So, we don't have much time left. The only way out for us now is to find a way to deal with the Wall-Hitting Ghost before dawn, or at least before the Hundred Wraiths arrive.

I didn't have any other choice but to look at Shen Tuo, but at this moment, Shen Tuo was also sitting cross-legged on the ground with a helpless look on his face.

"What do we do now, are we going to tear down this wall?" I said helplessly while supporting my head with both my hands.

What I didn't expect was that right after I said those words, Shen Tuo actually raised his head in surprise.

"That's right, why didn't I think of that? We were just going to tear down the wall!"

I was shocked by Shen Ta's thoughts and didn't know how to react.

Remove the wall? It's easy to say, but where do we start?

I stood up and looked at Shen Ta, who had already walked to the wall. I didn't know what he was going to do.

Right at this moment, Shen Tuo suddenly waved his arm and quickly took a few steps back. He separated the distance between him and the wall that was blocking our path and pasted a few incantations on the wall.

"Yan Nuo, back off!"

It was only then that I understood. Shen Ta isn't an ordinary person, so why would he use a normal person's method to tear down a wall! I hastily took a few steps back and was about four to five meters away from Shen Ta. When I felt that I was safe, I stopped and took a step back.

Due to the distance, I was unable to clearly hear the chants and incantations that Shen Tuo was muttering. However, I could clearly see that beneath the runes on the wall, a golden stripe gradually appeared, eventually forming a hexagram. As for the six runes, they were at the six corners of the hexagram.

When the golden light became more and more intense, the tall wall in front of him let out a violent boom, and was immediately blasted into smithereens.

These fragments, on the other hand, didn't roll down like the bricks that we saw earlier. Instead, they flew up into the air like light pieces of paper, and under the influence of the wisps of flame, they eventually turned into dust and disappeared.

At first, I thought that I just needed to end this matter with the Wall-Hitting Ghost. However, in the middle of the disappearing wall, a 10 centimeter tall doll suddenly appeared. I curiously rushed forward and grabbed the doll in my hand, but Shen Tuo suddenly shouted at me from behind me, "Yan Nuo, don't move!"

However, it was clear that Shen Tuo had finished speaking. The little kid suddenly seemed to come to life as he stretched out both his hands and grabbed onto my fingers.

I saw that the doll, about ten centimeters in size, had not moved more than to hold my fingers, and my instinct told me that it did not seem to harm me.

As I was looking at it, a voice suddenly appeared in my mind: "Are you the wife of His Highness, Zishan Ming?"

It was the voice of a child, and I looked at the little thing in my palm, and it looked up and smiled at me. I realized it was this thing that was talking to me.

I didn't say anything, just gave him a quiet nod.

At this time, Shen Tuo had already walked over quickly. He took out a rune and planned to stick it onto this little thing's body.

I quickly hid my hands behind my back, and tried to convince Shen Tuo to let him go: "Shen Tuo, he shouldn't be any harm to us right? Why are we going all out to kill him? Moreover, if you still use a rune at this time, it is possible that the two of us will be devoured to the point that not even bones will remain!"

Shen Tuo seemed to be unresigned, "It's him controlling the wall, causing us to wander around for an entire night!"
