"come here."

The little girl seemed to teleport and suddenly appeared in front of Yu Hongtao.

Almost instantly, Yu Hongtao's hairs stood up, and every cell in his body screamed for him to stay away from this little girl.

But his legs felt as if they had been poured into lead water, unable to move at all.

"come here."

The girl repeated her words again.

She clearly had no head, but her firm tone made it impossible for others to refute.

After all, if he dared to say another word, he might be dead and in a different place.

"Uh-huh."

Yu Hongtao nodded quickly, fearing that the little girl would do something dangerous.

When he faced the black shadow just now, he still had a hint of resistance.

But when he faced this little girl...he couldn't think of any resistance.

He seemed to know that the strength of the two was not on the same level at all.

This little girl should be one level higher than that black shadow.

Hearing this, the little girl slowly walked into the darkness ahead.

Seeing this, Yu Hongtao hurriedly followed.

He walked into a dark street full of eerie atmosphere.

The street looked extremely desolate, filled with shadows and leaning buildings, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

The lights on both sides of the street were dim, with only a few broken street lamps barely illuminating the front, and that weak light seemed to be being swallowed by darkness.

The messy bloodstains that can be seen everywhere are scattered all over the road, which intuitively indicates that this is a road of no return.

Phew~

Suddenly, a cold breath penetrated into Yu Hongtao's collar from the back of his neck.

It felt like someone was rubbing the back of his neck with a sticky, half-thawed frozen banana.

A feeling of nausea filled his whole body, but he didn't dare to make any strange move.

The little girl in front was still walking forward, and Yu Hongtao followed her silently. He looked calm, but in fact, his heart was beating wildly.

It has to be said that his adrenaline surges were a bit too frequent, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He tried his best to stay calm, but he couldn't hide his fear at all.

Just imagine, if you are walking alone on a dark street, and suddenly a pair of arms is placed on your shoulders, the owner of the arms is still blowing air on your neck...

"hiss--!"

Yu Hongtao took a deep breath. He resisted the urge to look back and rubbed his hands to cover the numb skin on his arms.

"Okay, stop teasing him. If the person his rich man wants scares people to death, you won't survive."

As if aware of the man's fear, the headless little girl stood not far away and said the above words without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, Hong Tao's discomfort immediately disappeared.

He shivered and quickened his steps, getting closer to the little girl.

"We're here, go in."

The little girl stopped in front of a small store.

This small shop is sandwiched between two tall buildings, and it looks like a "child"

Its walls are mottled and the window glass is broken like a spider web, as if it is crying about its former glory.

Yu Hongtao hesitated for a moment... He swallowed and looked up at the door number of the store.

"House of Curious Objects"

He carefully opened the store door.

Click-!

The door, which was not too heavy, made a dull sound, and dust hung in the air, spreading around.

This house looked like it hadn't been cleaned for tens of thousands of years and was covered in dust.

Moreover, there is a strange atmosphere permeating the store.

"come in."

An old voice reached my ears.

The voice seemed to have magic power, leading Yu Hongtao into the store.

Yu Hongtao did not lose his mind, because the darkness in the room almost made it difficult for him to see clearly. Therefore, Yu Hongtao subconsciously groped to find a switch on the wall...

"Click."

Suddenly, dim yellow light illuminated the entire room. He glanced around.

Enter the eye.

All kinds of weird items are displayed on the shelves, from ancient magic weapons to weird magic spells, which makes people feel chilly.

There was thick dust everywhere and the furniture was in dilapidated condition.

And in a place that looks like a store counter.

He saw a shabby sofa with a black doll lying on it.

The doll only moved, its broken eyes and dim body suddenly changed -

A thin old man appeared!

He slowly walked out from behind the counter.

Yu Hongtao's eyes were attracted to the old man. His eyes were gloomy and sharp, looking like a decayed eagle.

"Welcome, young man. I... know what you are looking for." The old man's voice was low and strange.

Does he know what I'm looking for?

Yu Hongtao was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes repeatedly, and finally told the reason why he came here:

"I'm here to find a ghost that matches my soul. Do you know anything?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, smiled sinisterly, and then pointed to a dark door in the store.

"If you want to know more, then enter that room. But be careful, the things inside are not so easy to deal with." The old man warned.

The other party wants to test his strength!

Yu Hongtao immediately understood what the old man meant.

In other words... if he wants to find a suitable ghost, he must first prove that he is?

Yu Hongtao's heart moved and he decided to take the risk.

He slowly opened the door, and a fishy smell hit his face. The room was dark and narrow, and the walls were covered with seemingly old instruments and knives.

However, Yu Hongtao's eyes did not stop at these things.

His eyes fell on a table, and on that table was a notebook with a black cover.

It is worth noting that there is an eyeball covered with glass next to the notebook.

It...reeks of a disgusting smell.

Yu Hongtao thought so.

"Turn over the first page." The old man's voice came from outside the door.

Yu Hongtao did as he was told and opened the dust-laden notes.

"The Devouring Ghost is the weakest ghost in the other world. It has the power to change its shape and devour others. Although it looks scary, even ordinary people can fight as long as they are brave."

On the first page of the notebook, there is a picture of a strong black figure.

Its body is strong and has unparalleled muscles, and its appearance alone can kill ten Yu Hongtao instantly.

"Put a drop of blood on the page and defeat it!" said the old man.

Drops of blood...

Yu Hongtao took a deep breath, walked to the wall beside him, and picked up an arm-long machete.

He walked to the notebook and cut his finger, dripping blood on the page, when he found a blood-red text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes -

[Bloodshed Knife]: Whether it’s the enemy’s blood or your own blood, it can make it stronger.

Note that after absorbing a large amount of blood, the user will become manic.
