"What is it? A ghost? A zombie?" Xu Mingjie asked.
You shook your head slightly, "Neither, such things wouldn’t scare an Ard Police Soldier. Actually, it was quite simple back then. When I first stepped into the Ard Police Courage Camp, there was suddenly a gunshot directly ahead of , followed by a bullet swiftly grazing past my face. At that mont, I could even feel the bullet brushing against my face."
"That dangerously close?"
"It was nothing. At that ti, I was just scared stiff, but then a stun grenade exploded not far from , thoroughly scaring witless, and I sat down hard on the ground. By the ti I ca to my senses, I was already inside the camp."
"That’s too intense!" Xu Mingjie deliberately raised his voice, considering it a kind of courage training because he had just felt sothing brush past his foot.
You slowed your pace slightly, standing next to Liang Xinyue. In the darkness, you could effortlessly grab Liang Xinyue’s small hand, and as soon as you held it, you felt it was extrely cold. Since she couldn’t speak, her inner fear must be more intense than others.
"Ah! What was that!" Deng Fang suddenly jumped up, and Xu Mingjie hurriedly pulled her back, preventing her from leaving the group.
Xu Mingjie shouted imdiately, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
"Little Jie, a real man! Hehe." You kept talking and laughing, "Everyone, don’t stop or speed up, just maintain this formation, walk slowly; now the real thrill is coming!"
Just as you finished speaking, a green light flashed by your side, accompanied by a string of chilling sharp laughter: "Hee hee hee—"
"Hee hee hee, we’ve got company."
A tempting female voice ca from the darkness ahead.
"Well, who knew there would be such a lovely voice in these desolate hills? It must be a beautiful ghost. Hey, ghostly elder sister, are you single?"
Your words suddenly eased the tension in the group.
"Brother Jun, this little girl is not yet married, I wonder if Brother Jun has soone dear to him?"
You didn’t expect soone to respond from the darkness.
Still smiling, you said, "Oh, sorry, I already have soone dear."
"Pfft."
Du Yanan at the front of the group suddenly chuckled, deliberately shining the light towards the direction of the voice, only to find dense thickets.
Seeing this, you quickly reminded Du Yanan, "Lao Du, light the way!"
Du Yanan quickly realized and imdiately turned the light back onto the path.
"Is Brother Jun’s dear here?"
"If I say yes, ghostly elder sister, you’d surely eat her up, so my answer is no." Your voice remained relaxed, yet internally, you felt peculiar; having a chat with a ghost in such darkness was indeed eerie for anyone.
"Since your dear isn’t here, Brother Jun, why not co with this little girl? I have many things you like."
"Sorry, my mom always told not to go with strangers, which actually applies to adults as well, so, sorry, if I have ti next ti, I’ll bring a few strong buddies to patronize your business."
"Too proud to drink a toast! You choose punishnt instead!"
The ghostly voice suddenly turned shrill, and out of nowhere, a cold wind rose, disheveling your hair and fluttering your clothes!
"Don’t panic, keep moving!" you shouted at once, taking out your phone and switching on the flashlight. The light in the group suddenly brightened.
Like Du Yanan, you didn’t shine the surroundings but lit the path you were walking on; under the illumination, fear within you subsided substantially.
Just as you imagined, the Vengeful Ghost didn’t appear; only a strong wind blew through.
"Mu Yun, what’s going on?" Du Yanan, still leading at the front, asked you.
"I don’t know either, but my intuition tells that as long as we keep walking along the path, everything should be fine."
With those words, your hearts settled down a bit.
"Brother Jun is so smart, oh."
"That’s right, just look at who I am. Back then..."
As you spoke, suddenly a shadow appeared before you, hair disheveled! Between the flying long hair, a hint of eerie green light flickered.
Upon its appearance, Deng Fang’s scream pierced the sky!
"Ah—"
You quickly directed Xu Mingjie, "Little Jie, hold Deng Fang!"
At this crucial mont, you exhibited extraordinary calmness, stepping steadily right through the dark shadow without even flinching.
"Aren’t you afraid of !" a fierce voice ca from beside you, and that dark shadow followed you, hovering around, with a pale face erging from beneath the flying black hair.
You turned to look at the ghost trailing you, smiling slightly, and reached out your right hand to gently caress her face: "Oh, frankly, ghostly elder sister, you’re not bad looking, just not my type."
"Awooo!!!"
Being told so by you, the ghost suddenly howled and instantly vanished into smoke.
"Wha-what happened?" Du Yanan was just as bewildered by the sudden occurrence; while not terrified internally, she was slightly flustered. Previously, even when facing an entire cri syndicate, she had never been so flustered before.
You shrugged, laughing, "When I was little, I heard my grandma say that there are three fires on a person’s body. The stronger the person, the stronger these fires burn. As long as there’s this trio of fires, common ghosts wouldn’t dare approach. If your Yang Fire is strong enough, it can even dispel ghosts."
"Really?"
Du Yanan asked incredulously.
"Not really."
You answered with a laugh.
"Even at this mont, you don’t forget to tease us. You’re getting worse, kid." Although aware that you were trying to divert everyone’s inner fear with these words, Du Yanan didn’t forget to scold you a bit. At this mont, Du Yanan couldn’t help but think—it’s fortunate to have this kid by our side; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to take a step.
Wei Yingyue’s observations were much more ticulous than Du Yanan’s. She asked you, "Did you notice sothing?"
"I caught a few clues, nothing definite yet, but I can boldly assure you all, our safety is absolutely guaranteed. Let’s just consider this as having a thrill here, such a terrifying excitent might not be encountered again in the future."
No one questioned the truth of your words, as ntal comfort was what you all needed most at the mont.
