What a pity...
Everything feels so foreign to me.
I am neither a Ghost Immortal nor a Fierce Ghost now.
I can't even feel my own soul!
It's as if I am just an ordinary person!
I took out my life book and my civil servant certificate, but they showed no response.
Even the magical power within me has vanished!
This is it, this is the end!
I am just an ordinary person now!
What am I going to do?
Am I really going to die here?
No way!
I can't die!
Changfeng is still waiting for me to save her!
I forced myself to suppress my fear and began searching for clues.
In the distance, I saw a female ghost selling skewers.
I approached to take a look.
The skewers were made from human intestines!
The chaos contained human eyeballs!
The tofu pudding was made from a broth boiled with bones!
Though terrified, I carefully avoided these dangerous foods.
Changfeng, you must wait for me!
I walked for what felt like an eternity when I heard a song:
"Lantern, oh lantern, shining bright, so red and so bright."
I soon saw a delicate-looking girl standing in front of me. "Would you like to buy a lantern?"
Her voice was melodious and gentle.
However...
I felt an inexplicable fear creeping in.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that this girl was actually the Shikong Guai!
The shadow behind her had three heads, each with a gaping maw.
The Shikong Guai is a local menace of the Ghost Market, known for luring unsuspecting travelers into illusions with her beauty.
Then, she would devour their souls.
I shook my head. "No, thank you."
But the Shikong Guai was relentless. "Sister, this lantern is truly special!"
"It can help you find the place you wish to go!"
"And it's very affordable too!"
As she spoke, Shikong Guai reached out her hand toward me.
I was taken aback!
How did Shikong Guai know what I was looking for?
Could it be...
She also knew about my memories?
No, that couldn't be!
Shikong Guai was best known for her ability to manipulate people's hearts.
She must be trying to deceive me!
With that thought in mind, I firmly shook my head and said, "No need!"
Only then did Shikong Guai step back.
I continued to move forward.
But...
I couldn't shake the feeling that a pair of eyes was watching me.
I suddenly turned around!
But to my surprise, there was no one behind me!
How strange...
Could it be my imagination?
At that moment, the ghostly stall owners around me also paused their work and fixed their gazes on me.
Their eyes resembled those of beasts stalking their prey!
This is bad!
I've become the prey!
My instincts screamed at me to run!
But I found myself trapped in the barrier set by the Shikong Guai, unable to move an inch!
The Shikong Guai appeared before me once more, saying, "Why are you back again?"
"I have even more beautiful lanterns here!"
"Would you like to take a look?"
As she spoke, she pointed towards a distant black barrier. "You can see them as soon as you enter the barrier!"
I let out a cold laugh. "I won't fall for that!"
Shikong Guai smiled slightly. "If you enter the barrier, you won't be able to come back out!"
"You will definitely return!"
With that, Shikong Guai vanished from sight.
A barrier?
What barrier?
I don't think I've ever heard of this barrier before!
Wait!
I think I just remembered something!
Could it be that this barrier is related to the Heavenly Path?
If that's the case...
Is my memory also trapped inside?
I hesitated.
I didn't know whether to trust Shikong Guai's words.
But... what if my memory really is within the barrier?
Forget it!
What does it matter!
If worse comes to worst, I’ll just die!
After all, I'm not afraid of death!
I steeled myself and walked toward the barrier.
In the illusion, Shikong Guai opened its gaping maw and lunged at me.
I clenched my fists, desperately resisting!
Unfortunately... I am just a mortal now!
I have no ability to fight back at all!
