At night, in a lush forest, a girl was walking alone and carefully. There was only a hound following her, and the only weapon she had was the old-fashioned shotgun in her hand.
She was at the eighth level.
It turned out that although she did not say anything during the day, after listening to the conversation between Yang Lei, Butterfly Shinobu, and Tomioka Yoshiyuki, she knew that their goal was to find and kill the ghost on the mountain. She had already made up her mind.
Hence, she took the opportunity to run out. She only had one goal, and that was to find the ghost before the three of them. She wanted to make a decision on her own.
Because that ghost was actually her father.
Ba Chong did not live alone in the past, but relied on his father for survival.
However, after a certain day, everything changed.
One night, her father went up the mountain to hunt, but he never came back.
Then, the story of the man-eating bear began to spread on the mountain.
Everyone in the village thought that her father had been eaten by a bear.
However, if the legend of ghosts was true, she guessed that her father had been turned into a ghost and could not go home.
"If it really is a bear, I will personally avenge my father. But if he becomes a ghost, what should I do?”Ba Chong tightened his grip on the spear as he muttered to himself. A look of confusion flashed across his eyes.
That was her father, whom she had relied on for survival.
If he really became a ghost, how would she face it?
Could she really be so ruthless?
Perhaps she was not mentally prepared.
However, there was no time for her to hesitate now. She did not know when the three ghost hunters at home would catch up.
It was as if the ghost hunters were the villains.
However, what Ba Chong did not know was that when she disappeared, the three people had already caught up to her silently. Three pairs of eyes had been watching her every move.
It was Yang Lei and the others.
However, they did not show themselves. Instead, they hid in the dark and followed her quietly. They wanted to protect her and at the same time, they wanted to see what the ghost would do after they lured it out.
At the very least, this was what Yang Lei strongly requested. He had already strongly requested Tomioka Yoshikazu and Shinobu Butterfly on the way here. He said that if the ghost wanted to attack the eighth level, he would not hesitate to take action.
If anything went wrong, he would take full responsibility. He would not hesitate to commit suicide to atone for his sins.
There were too few ghosts that did not eat humans. Yang Lei wanted to see if there were any ghosts like him.
Perhaps he wanted to prove something in this way?
Just like that, the three of them quietly caught up to Ba Chong. Ba Chong was just an ordinary person after all. How could he know that they were not far behind him?
The four of them walked in the forest under the moonlight.
To be honest, such an environment was actually a little scary.
Especially after learning that the legend of ghosts was true, it was as if a ghost could appear anywhere at any time.
This was very terrifying. It didn't matter if he was scaring himself or if it was just a psychological effect. In any case, every step the eight-fold landed on the ground seemed to be very careful.
In the three-man team not far behind him, Yang Lei thought to himself, Why are you still here when you're so scared? Just stay at home obediently.
Just as Yang Lei was about to rush out and persuade Ba Chong to go home, a crow suddenly flew over from the already dark night sky.
For superstitious people, seeing a crow was an ominous sign.
The crow shouted in the air,""Damn it, where did you go? Didn't you ask me to monitor that guy and wait for you to deal with him? Where is he? Where is he? Not good, not good. I'm going to be eaten."
Ba Chong, who was on the ground, raised his head and was completely stunned. A crow actually spoke?
In fact, this crow was the Zao crow that Yang Lei had inherited from Aoi Kanzaki. Zao crows could speak human language.
But Ba Chong had never seen this before.
And behind Zhe Ya, a black shadow suddenly darted out from the forest.
Ba Chong subconsciously looked over. Even in the dim environment, her heart could not help but stop for half a beat.
She recognized him. She would never forget that familiar face.
Although the other party had changed a lot because of his ghostly transformation, she still recognized him.
"Father?" "Is it really you?" Ba Chong shouted.”
That figure was very fast. In a short while, he had already arrived in front of Ba Chong.
However, because of Ba Chong's call, the black shadow's raised hand stopped in front of her.
"Swoosh."
Another figure appeared beside Ba Chong. It was Yang Lei.
He held a knife wrapped in cloth in his left hand and pressed his right hand on the hilt of his left hand. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the black shadow in front of him.
If he hadn't stopped, Yang Lei would have already pulled out his knife and cut off his arm, and then his head.
It was the Night Battle Eight Directional Hidden Blade Stance.
He didn't know how to use the Unity Slash, but he only knew how to use the Sword Draw Slash.
However, the Sword Draw might have a large range and would involve the eighth layer as well.
The Hidden Sword Stance had two blade forms, one cutting off the arm and the other cutting off the head.
However, the male ghost in front of him stopped.
Ba Chong did not seem to notice Yang Lei. He looked at the person in front of him with tears in his eyes and cried out sadly,""Is it really you? Father?"
Ba Chong's father's name was You Zao. He asked with grief in his eyes,""Eighth level? Why are you here? Leave quickly, I don't want to hurt you."
There was a struggle in his ferocious expression. It was obvious how much pain he was in to stop himself from reaching out to hurt his daughter.
Ba Chong could already tell that something was wrong with his father and could not help but cry out again,"Could the legend of cannibalism be referring to father?”
" No," You Zao shouted in a painful tone,""There was a ghost hiding here, a real ghost. He was the one who had eaten all the people before. Later, another person came here. He ate the ghost and turned me into a ghost. I don't know what's going on. Ba Chong, leave this place quickly and never come back again. I beg you."”
You Zao was using his last bit of determination as a father to get Ba Chong to leave this place.
And he wasn't lying.
Whether a ghost had eaten a human or not, even if it had only eaten human flesh, it would give a different feeling.
Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but the Ghost Slayer Team could. As a ghost, Yang Lei was naturally able to tell.
Ghosts that had never eaten humans actually retained some special characteristics of humans.
Once a ghost ate a human, it would emit a foul smell, as if it had been dead for countless years.
He wasn't lying. He really hadn't eaten anyone.
However, his trembling hands and his pleading and painful eyes all showed how painful it was for him to stop his impulses.
"Please kill me."
