Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 1024 A Tide

   Looking at the width of the trail, it is estimated that their car can barely squeeze in, but the front of the trail is completely dark.

  Luo Jiutian was already trying to find a way to turn the car in, Xia Hua grabbed the front seat uneasily, sat up straight and asked, "What's in front?"

   "It's an orphanage," Luo Jiutian said cheerfully, "a place where fools lived before."

   "Orphanage?" The Taoist priest did not expect Luo Jiutian to drive his car here, "But the surrounding buildings..."

   "I chose a path that is closer," Luo Jiutian said. "The orphanage is now dilapidated. It is full of junk and weeds. It should be safer to hide there."

   "Are you familiar with there?" Xia Hua asked.

   "Unfamiliar," said the Taoist priest, "We have only seen it after it was broken down, only Xiaolan has seen it before."

   "Xiaolan, sigh..." Xia Hua sighed, "If only Miss Xiaolan was here, she would definitely be able to enter Zhou Ye's consciousness through a dream and ask him what those black hairs are."

   "But Xiaolan can only experience dreams, and there is no way to change them," Luo Jiutian said with a smile, "and usually Xiaolan... can only see dead people in dreams."

   "Not really." The Taoist priest suddenly spoke up.

   Everyone was waiting for him to continue, but the Taoist priest just shut up.

   There was a burst of light in front of the front of the car, which attracted the attention of Luo Jiutian, who was still trying to ask questions.

   "Look, we're here," Luo Jiutian smiled, "It seems that the navigation is still reliable."

   The bright white light in front was the street lamp on the side of the road. The car drove out of the alley and finally came to the main road.

   The car stopped in front of the desolate little yard. When getting off the car, Xia Hua asked, "Should we just park the car here? Would it be too obvious?"

   "Then why don't I drive the car away?" Luo Jiutian said.

   "Um...but if that's the case..."

   "No...don't drive away..." A weak, hoarse voice suddenly came from behind everyone.

   Everyone turned their heads in response to the sound.

   Zhou Ye didn't know when he woke up, he held the back seat of the car, gasping for breath.

   "You're awake," Li Muyuan laughed with relief, "It's almost there... I guess you'll wake up at this time."

  Xia Hua and Luo Jiutian hurried over.

   "Is there no sequelae left?" Luo Jiutian poked Zhou Ye's forehead.

   Zhou Ye didn't have the strength to resist, just frowned and sat up reluctantly, "I'm fine."

   "Usually there are no sequelae," Li Muyuan said, "Zhou Ye, try to recall, can you remember what happened before the coma?"

   Zhou Ye's eyes became hazy, he didn't make a gesture of painful memories, but nodded lightly.

   "Can remember."

   "Okay, then it means that there is no problem with the brain," Li Muyuan said, "then we will ask you questions."

   After saying that, Li Muyuan looked at the others and shrugged his shoulders.

   "Ask me what?" Zhou Ye looked around at the people around him blankly, "What happened?"

   "It's like this, we met a strange thing again," Xia Hua said, "This thing... It can grow countless long hairs, and it can find and attack other people through those black hairs."

   "Long hair?" Zhou Ye pressed down on his temples and searched for relevant content in his memory, "I can't think of it... Is there any other description?"

"That thing still makes footsteps," Luo Jiutian said. "The first time we heard its footsteps, we didn't see its real body. The second time, its footsteps came from outside the door. The footsteps were strange, they sounded far away, but you knew it was approaching..."

   Zhou Ye sat up straight with the help of Li Muyuan.

   "Have you seen what that thing really looks like?"

   "No... eh, wait," Luo Jiutian raised his index finger and said, "The Taoist priest seems to have seen it before."

   Zhou Ye's eyes fell on the Taoist priest.

"have you seen?"

   "I only saw a dark shadow in the distance," said the Taoist priest, "but I guess it was that thing."

   "Did you see clearly?"

   "No," the Taoist head shook his head and said, "I can only tell that it is a human figure."

"Strange…"

   "Did you think of something?" Luo Jiutian asked.

   "I do know a thing, which is a bit like your description, but the problem is, that thing, you can't see it at all."

   "Why?" Xia Hua asked, "What is so special?"

   "Because that is not a living creature," Zhou Ye said, "but Lingxi."

   "Lingxi?!"

   Everyone was really surprised.

   "You all know this ability of mine," Zhou Ye said, "I...the ability I used to have."

   "I know," Luo Jiutian nodded, "You can control Lingxi."

"Yes," said Zhou Ye, "when we were looking for Lingxi, we stumbled upon such a kind of Lingxi, which is different from the human spirit. The entity of this kind of Lingxi is always hidden under some cover. Attacks can be achieved by manipulating those coverings, because this kind of spirit cannot see the entity at all, so I have not found a way to manipulate this kind of spirit, and the biggest feature of this kind of spirit is that it has a strong sense of revenge."

   "Vengeance?"

   "Yes," said Zhou Ye, "think about it carefully, have you provoked it?"

   "Neither we..."

   "Ah, Jiutian," Xia Hua suddenly remembered something, "that black dumpling you bumped into the ditch!"

   "Black..." Luo Jiutian suddenly remembered, "Where did I hit this, it was clearly lying under my wheel... This is a china bump!"

   "Have you bumped into it?" Zhou Ye narrowed his eyes.

   "Jiutian bumped," the Taoist priest pointed to Luo Jiutian, "So, what he's doing now is revenge on Jiutian?"

   "Uh...I guess it shouldn't be able to tell who was driving," Zhou Ye said. "It probably targets all of us."

   "This... Forget it," Xia Hua said, "Zhou Ye, tell me how we should deal with that guy."

   "This is more difficult," Zhou Ye said helplessly, "You heard it, we didn't find a way to control that guy."

   "You don't know either," Luo Jiu said humbly, "I knew I wouldn't save you."

   Zhou Ye coughed twice in embarrassment, and said in a reserved manner, "I could have provided some ideas, but since you said so, then I will..."

   "Big Brother Zhou," Luo Jiutian immediately knelt down, "You were joking just now, don't you take it seriously?"

   Zhou Ye pouted and said, "You said just now that the weapon that that thing manipulates is black hair?"
