Almost instinctively, a gold needle slipped from Wang Ye's wrist, stabbing towards the spot of black at the hole!
The next second, with a feeling as if piercing through a bubble, when the gold needle was withdrawn, it was already covered in fresh blood.
A drop of blood trickled down along the tip of the gold needle and fell onto the floor.
Looking towards the hole again, the spot of black had already dispersed. One could see through the hole that on the other side of the wall was another room, with the same layout as the guest room Wang Ye was in.
At this time, a person with only half a head, was crouching on the floor, covering his eyes.
Blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.
As if noticing Wang Ye's gaze, that figure slowly raised his head. Although his body was already rotten, the remaining half of his head was perfectly intact.
Those still bleeding eyes looked at Wang Ye through the hole, full of eeriness!
Just then, the female corpse hanging from the beam behind him started swaying violently, as if trying to break free from the white cloth and fall to the ground.
Wang Ye blocked up the hole and ignored the person behind the wall. He took out the bronze figurine he had picked up at Abandoned City and flung it forcefully at the female corpse's head!
With a muffled "clang", the eyes of the bronze figurine suddenly lit up with excitement after hitting the female corpse. It opened its mouth and bit down on the female corpse's head.
As its mouth opened and closed incessantly, the female corpse's head disappeared at an exaggerated speed.
Finally, the female corpse opened her eyes. With violent struggling, she fell to the ground.
The bronze figurine also tumbled to the ground, rolling to the door. Although its eyes were filled with bloodthirsty excitement, and the corners of its mouth were covered with blood, it showed no intention to attack.
In just a few seconds, a full third of the female corpse's head was gone.
A ghostly aura surged out from within her, churning continuously, seemingly filled with anger.
And at that moment, from the courtyard came the shrill sound of claws scratching incessantly at something, sending chills down one's spine!
The female corpse's ghostly aura instantly shrank back, as if encountering something that terrified her. She crouched in the corner, not daring to make any sound.
Wang Ye, who had been observing all this while, instantly associated the sound with the scratch marks on the stone table. His expression changed subtly!
Could something have appeared in the courtyard?
What kind of existence could make this female corpse so fearful?
He cautiously took two steps back and leaned against the bed, holding his breath.
Faintly, through the wall, he could hear restless roars coming from next door, along with the sound of pacing back and forth!
The shrill sound was like a signal. Through the paper window of the door, one could vaguely see a shadow, holding a lantern, passing by the door.
Very soon, all the white lanterns in Qin Mansion that were marked with the word "She", were lit up.
Qin Mansion became bright.
Gradually, the scratching sound finally stopped, and Qin Mansion regained its short-lived tranquility.
But the female corpse crouching in the corner did not have any relief from her fearful emotions. On the contrary, thick ghost fog surged out from her body, completely enveloping herself.
The silence lasted only a few minutes. From the courtyard came the sound of sharpening blades.
As the sharpening sound started, the air seemed to turn much colder.
The sound continued for about ten minutes, then came the sound of something being dragged across the ground.
Shortly after, the sound of chopping rang out.
The sound of meat being chopped!
An image formed in Wang Ye's mind.
Someone was sharpening a blade, then dragging a corpse, and using that sharp blade to chop the corpse to pieces!
After about half an hour, the meat chopping sounds stopped.
Through the candlelight, one could see a shadow holding a lantern, moving around again.
He would pause briefly at each white lantern, adding something into them.
Very quickly, the candlelight in Qin Mansion changed from yellow to red.
A blood-like red illuminated Qin Mansion with an eerie feel.
After adding fuel to the lanterns, the shadow pushed open a room door and went inside, closing the door with a soft thud.
Wang Ye heaved a slight sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed somewhat.
Being on high alert for so long had exhausted his spirit.
At this time, it was barely past 8pm. This night still had a long way to go.
The female corpse in the corner gathered her ghostly aura and finally stood up from the floor. Her head twisted 180 degrees, her bloodstained eyes flashing with cold light as she looked towards Wang Ye.
Next door, the restless pacing also stopped at this moment.
Based on the sounds, it seemed the shadow had come to the wall again, wanting to continue peering into this room, but was angered to find the peephole blocked. He kept pounding the wall, making "thud thud" sounds.
...
From these actions, Wang Ye confirmed at least one thing.
It should be temporarily safe now.
Otherwise these two ghosts wouldn't become active again.
He was just unsure whether the sounds would attract that terrifying being over again!
Wang Ye's expression was cold. Helplessly, he reopened the blocked peephole. Soon, the pounding stopped, and an anxious eye peered at Wang Ye's room through the hole again.
As that pair of eyes spied, the female corpse became quiet again, her emotions no longer violent.
It seemed...
From the beginning, the eyes in the peephole were looking not at him, but at the female corpse.
At this moment, he had the illusion,
that these two ghosts were silently staring at each other through the peephole.
Another half an hour or so passed.
Suddenly there were sounds coming from Qin Mansion's front gate, followed by hurried footsteps.
Soon, a shadow ran from the main gate to the door of Wang Ye's room, knocking urgently.
"Is anyone there, is anyone there?"
"Help, there's a...a ghost!"
The shadow kept crying for help, his voice filled with terror, as if he had seen something with his own eyes.
Wang Ye sat at the bedside, his expression unchanged.
Would an ordinary person afraid of ghosts still appear in these wastelands?
Not far away, the sound of a room door opening could be heard, along with heavy footsteps approaching the guest room!
Damn!
It was that meat chopping fellow!
Wang Ye instantly analyzed based on the footsteps!
To think he had attracted such a horrifying being to his own door.
The female corpse released ghost fog again, enveloping herself completely.
Wang Ye held his breath, his heartbeat growing weaker and weaker, almost coming to a stop. At this moment, the ghost aura from his Ghost Constable Uniform had almost completely disappeared, along with any traces of the living on him.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
