Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 199 A night of suffering

Zhao Laoxie had noticed some clues by now. Every time those ghost creatures passed by here, they stayed for no more than a quarter of an hour. It was not the kind of attack that would not stop until the death.

However, many people died in the previous two times. I wonder if they will stop only when there are deaths every time?

At this moment, there were no living people in the shop opposite. Next time, those ghosts would only attack this place. He didn't know whether their defense could withstand the next round of attacks.

If they could stop it and no one was killed or injured, would those ghosts just leave? Or perhaps the thing in the coffin would come out?

If it wasn't blocked, the situation would be even worse.

After the two attacks just now, Zhao Laoxie no longer had much hope in the others, so he came to see Ning Ji. After all, the methods of these two were more powerful and mysterious than those of others. Perhaps there was another way to deal with it?

"No." Ning Ji simply replied with two words.

Zhao Laoxie's expression turned pale upon hearing this. A mocking voice rang out from the hall, "Hmph~ Another selfish person."

Zhao Laoxie thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "The situation is critical now. I hope Brother Ding can join forces with us to deal with the ghosts outside. This way, we will have a better chance of survival."

Si He's face turned slightly cold, and she became increasingly displeased with the man at the door and the people outside.

This person is good at putting labels on others and making it sound high-sounding.

Normally when encountering such a thing, since everyone is under the same roof, it would be better if they could join forces and discuss together to face the ghosts outside. However, these people have bad character and don't care about people's life or death in a critical moment.

The people in the shop opposite had teamed up with them before, and I didn’t see them go out to help. This so-called teaming up is not reliable.

Besides, aren't they all defending against the demons outside right now? How can they still join forces?

It sounds nice to say that they are joining forces, but when there is real trouble, they will trick Ning Ji into taking the blame and give them a chance to survive, right?

Do you really think people are fools?

At this moment, a painful cry suddenly came from the lobby. Everyone looked over and found that it was a person who had just escaped from the opposite side who was injured. Evil spirit entered his body and his face looked very ugly.

They had just taken some pills, but it seemed that they had little effect.

Several Taoists who were familiar with them hurried to help treat their injuries and exorcise the evil spirits.

"what!!!"

The evil spirits that entered their bodies were very stubborn. During the process of expelling them, they screamed in pain, which made many people a little nervous. At the same time, they were also worried that the noise was too loud and would attract ghosts and evil spirits from outside.

As a last resort, they could only knock out the few people who had evil spirits in their bodies first.

Zhao Laoxie turned around and looked for a while, then continued to persuade Ning Ji with a worried look on his face.

Ning Ji was indifferent, Si He also looked on indifferently, but Zhao Laoxie seemed to be staying and stood at the side door, thinking that it was not so crowded here.

Indeed, the lobby is really crowded at this moment with a lot of people, while the guest room is a bit more spacious.

Of course, Zhao Laoxie came here for other reasons.

Ning Ji and Si He didn't care about his temptations and schemes, and he didn't want to take advantage of them.

At this time, the strange sound of funeral music was heard again from outside, coming from far away and getting closer. Those "things" came again!

Upon hearing the sound, the people in the lobby immediately fell silent, stood on high alert, and blew out the lit candles. Although they probably knew that it was the breath of a stranger that attracted their attack, they still wanted to try again.

The candles in the reception room were also blown out to avoid further arguments.

The entire shop was plunged into darkness and silence, and everyone breathed softly.

After a while, the funeral ghosts came to the shop again and stopped as before!

Everyone thought to themselves, as expected.

Another round of attack came, and the ghosts outside surrounded the shop again, making it impossible to get in or out.

The shrill screams of ghosts were heard, and the doors and windows were slammed. Some talisman papers pasted on the doors and windows fluttered gently without wind, and the talisman power on the talisman papers was slowly consumed.

The people in the shop were terrified. After a while, the talisman paper that had used up all its power fell from the doors and windows. They had no choice but to take out new talisman paper and stick them back.

Although some people still had a lot of talisman paper on them, they could not withstand such consumption. Moreover, the night was very long, so they had to use it sparingly. After all, they had to keep some for self-defense.

So at this moment, many people were very nervous and their eyes were fixed on the outside.

It's funny to say that they came to this town not only to scavenge, but also to capture evil spirits or exorcise evil spirits. But now, they are surrounded and besieged by these ghosts and evil spirits, and they have become prey.

After a while, the strange bell sounded again, and then the attack outside became more violent.

Everyone was on edge, holding various spiritual weapons and talismans in their hands, ready to go.

Time passed little by little. Fortunately, a quarter of an hour later, funeral music sounded and the ghosts suddenly stopped attacking. The funeral ghosts left again.

Now, everyone in the shop breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that they didn't have to kill anyone before leaving.

The streets soon returned to calm, but people in the shops were in panic.

Zhao Laoxie sat on the floor near the door of the reception room.

Ning Ji and Si He ignored him, as long as he didn't step into the house.

Many people had an extremely torturous night because the ghosts outside would come and cause trouble every once in a while, making it impossible for people to relax.

Fortunately, everyone survived until dawn safely. However, many people had consumed a lot of talismans that night, and they had few defensive items left.

Even Ning Ji consumed a lot of talisman paper.

The funeral ghost disappeared when the sky began to brighten, and there were no more terrifying ghost cries on the streets. However, there were occasional gusts of cold wind.

Only then did everyone close their eyes and rest for a while, waiting for daybreak to make plans.

Si He leaned in Ning Ji's arms and took a short nap. In the second half of the night, she was also tense and did not close her eyes. She felt a little tired now.

Ning Ji also hugged her, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and rested, but did not fall asleep.

An hour later, the sky brightened and the sun rose high. Although there were still some dark clouds in the sky, it was better than the rainy day yesterday.

However, the streets were once again filled with a light gray fog, which affected the vision, just like yesterday, and the vision was not clear.

When the sun rose, the people in the shop opened the door vigilantly to check the situation outside. There were many corpses on the street, those who died last night. There were even more corpses in the shop opposite. The deaths were horrific and the scene was horrifying.

Apart from that, it was very quiet, without any sound at all. When they walked out the door, they didn't see any ghosts or evil spirits attacking them. They were temporarily safe now.
