The surrounding ground was sprinkled with white flour, but Jiang Cheng noticed that some messy footprints had been left on it.

No need to ask, Gao Yan must have stepped on it when he ran over.

Jiang Cheng cursed in his heart that this old guy would do bad things.

Of course, there were still a few that belonged to him. He was holding Shen Mengyun, but he couldn't jump over.

In fact, you can still see a few repairs on the flour, which should have been made by Huaiyi or Fatty, but the time was too short and there was no time to fix them all.

It was too late to say anything at this time, and he couldn't think of any remedial measures at the moment. All Jiang Cheng could do was hold his breath and ask Shen Mengyun to do the same.

really.

The burning smell gradually became stronger, and the burning ghost was nearby, but not only could it not be seen, there was not even a single sound.

The atmosphere was eerie and scary for a while.

To be honest, Fatty and Huaiyi did a pretty good job. They used flour to block the opposite road leading here. As long as the Burnt Ghost passes here, it will definitely leave footprints.

The only drawback is that there is not enough flour to completely cover the areas where they are.

Also, part of it was destroyed by the old guy Gao Yan.

Jiang Cheng has roughly memorized the location of the footprints in his mind, so that if there are new footprints on it, it must be the Burnt Ghost.

The strong burning smell kept filling Jiangcheng's nostrils, and it was no use holding his breath, as if he was the one who was being burned.

Various strange pictures appeared in his mind, and Jiang Cheng looked a little dazed.

Ever since he got on that strange bus, he felt that he was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

It felt like my soul had been ripped out and stuffed into another person's body.

And... nothing is gone.

Now Jiang Cheng lowered his head and looked at his own shadow. It was just an ordinary shadow. The inexplicable cold aura had actually disappeared.

But vaguely, Jiang Cheng always felt that Wu hadn't left or left him.

It has a deep obsession with itself, and the current situation is more like... being suppressed by something.

In other words, it is fear.

Because I was afraid of something, I chose to hibernate and minimize my sense of existence.

Just like in nature, weak creatures often hide and camouflage themselves to avoid predators.

When the word "prey" was mentioned, Jiang Cheng's fingers suddenly clenched. This was completely an unconscious behavior on his part, and it startled Shen Mengyun who was tightly squeezed next to him.

A pair of eyes looked at him in horror, thinking that Jiang Cheng had discovered something.

Prey...Jiang Cheng recalled Wu's actions. This word seemed to suit him very well.

It's weird.

An existence above ghosts.

Ghosts are what people become after death, but weirdness is not.

In Jiang Cheng's understanding, it is more like a will.

In the game between two wills, the losing party will be devoured by the winning party, thus becoming the nutrients to strengthen itself.

During the mission in Greystone Town, it devoured the ancestor of Yamamoto, that is, the huge and weird straw man, and even set its sights on the girl named Fu Fu.

That's the purpose.

That girl is also a member of Crimson, so there must be something strange about her.

Jiang Cheng knew how powerful Wu was, and he swallowed up that weird scarecrow. Even so, he still chose to lie dormant.

What is it that makes it like this?

Looking back on what happened recently, Wu Huan used words in blood to communicate with him when he was in the studio, or it could be said to be threats and inducements.

Encourage yourself to deal with Lin Wan'er.

Jiang Cheng didn't listen to Wu's words, but as soon as he closed his eyes, countless scenes related to her emerged in his mind.

He rarely trusts others because he hates being deceived.

If everything about Lin Wan'er is really disguised, especially her feelings for him, they are all fake and used for some bad purpose...

Then he doesn't mind waking up Wu and severing the bond with her with his own hands.

Get rid of her and the people behind her. Maybe one day, he can retrieve the memory he once lost.

And...the self hidden in memory.

His thoughts jumped and reflected in reality, but it only took a short moment. In the next second, he cleared away the messy thoughts in his mind and started to work on the present.

There was still no movement around him, but Shen Mengyun beside him moved.

First there was a twitch, very small but sudden.

Jiang Cheng immediately realized that she must have discovered something.

As Shen Mengyun pulled his sleeves and followed Shen Mengyun's line of sight through the old bookshelf, what he saw was a row of scattered footprints.

It was Gao Yan who left behind because of his panic.

There were a dozen or so in total. Jiang Cheng glanced at them and found that there were not many more.

He guessed that maybe the Burnt Ghost also noticed the circle of white noodles, so he didn't come over for a long time.

But just when he was about to look away, he suddenly discovered that one of the footprints... was obviously larger than the others.

It went full circle.

After a moment, Jiang Cheng immediately understood that the Burnt Ghost had indeed noticed the circle of white noodles and knew that walking on it would leave footprints.

So what it chose was to follow in Gao Yan's footsteps and come over.

But because of his tall stature, his feet were much larger than those of ordinary Gao Yan, which left a larger footprint.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise...

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. At first, they thought this ghost was a dull kind. After all, his movements were slow and it was difficult to even find someone.

They subconsciously believe that their IQ will not be high.

But looking at it now, this ghost's brain is much more useful than they thought.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng noticed that the footprints used by the ghost were located in the middle of Gao Yan and his party's footprints.

Judging from the opponent's height, his steps are larger. It is estimated that in two steps, he can almost cross the spot where the flour is sprinkled.

After all, Gao Yan was chased by the ghost in a panic and couldn't choose the right path, so he didn't just cross in a straight line.

One step, stepping on Gao Yan's footsteps, and another step, just crossing the range of Bai Mian.

In other words... Jiang Cheng's eyes paused, and now the Burnt Ghost has come over and is standing near them!

And the most terrifying thing is that Huaiyi and Fatty probably don't know yet and are still waiting stupidly, staring at the white flour on the ground.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng turned his head, trying to find the fat man's location, but it didn't matter. He just saw a few hairs floating slightly on Shen Mengyun's head.

The amplitude is not big, just like being swept by the breeze.

But...where is the wind here?!

Ever since they came here, the area seemed to have been completely sealed off, with no wind blowing in at all.

And what kind of wind blows downward from the top of the head?
