"That's how it is. At first, you said your name was Qiao Dapao, so I didn't recognize you."

Zhang Nianyu took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

The scene of his father's death still pierced his heart, even now.

His father had spent his whole life exorcising ghosts and demons, accumulating good karma, but in the end, he died under the majestic power of thunder.

How ironic was that?

Did good people deserve to be struck by lightning?

"My world is real, your world is also real, the people of our world have all been deceived..."

Qiao Yu repeatedly chewed on the words left by Zhang Erhe.

The more he thought about it, the more fear he felt in his heart, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Zhang Erhe was probably the third NPC he had encountered who had awakened his self-awareness.

Unlike Xun Dong and the Mechanical Empress, who awakened through code, Zhang Erhe's awakening was entirely self-made.

"Zhang Erhe..."

Qiao Yu murmured the name, keeping Zhang Erhe's words firmly in his mind.

With his current strength, if he recklessly sought out the truths that Zhang Erhe spoke of, even a glimpse of them would be enough to shatter him to pieces.

Qiao Yu now only wanted to find Zuo You and his parents.

As for the truth of this world... forget it, Qiao Yu wasn't arrogant enough to think he was a savior.

He and Zhang Nianyu had been whispering the whole time, so neither Wang Tiezhu and the others, nor the viewers watching the live broadcast, had heard what they were saying.

Therefore, when Qiao Yu and Zhang Nianyu returned, they didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

They only saw the old man and the young man, very close, whispering to each other.

Maybe this young man had taken a fancy to the old man, the old man had a minimum living allowance...

"Let's start again." Qiao Yu suppressed the thoughts in his heart and took a deep breath.

The group set off again.

The task required them to investigate the cause of the supernatural forces in Silent Town, but Qiao Yu and the others didn't have a clue yet.

They could only place their hopes on Zhang Nianyu.

Along the way, not a single ghost that dared to show its face could escape Qiao Yu's clutches.

Zhang Nianyu couldn't bear to watch any longer and asked quietly.

"Uncle, every time you see a ghost, you just chop it to pieces, aren't you afraid of damaging your yin virtue?"

"Yin virtue? I don't even have morals, what do I need yin virtue for?" Qiao Yu looked confused.

Zhang Nianyu: "...Never mind then."

Zhang Nianyu understood that this guy in front of him didn't play by the rules at all.

Other people at least paid attention to right and wrong, good and evil, when saving souls, chanting scriptures to save good souls and annihilating evil souls.

This uncle of his was good, as long as it was a soul, he would just physically save it with a single strike.

"How much longer do we have to walk?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Soon."

Zhang Nianyu took out a bronze compass, and Qiao Yu noticed that it was the one Zhang Erhe had found on Ghost Mountain.

"According to the bronze compass, the front is the core location of Silent Town, and also the place with the densest Yin energy."

"As long as that location can be suppressed, this town will slowly return to normal from a ghost town."

"This direction, right?" Qiao Yu looked at the pointer of the compass, "Alright, you guys go first, I'll be there soon."

Qiao Yu left the team alone.

His Yanyue Blade was only 500 points of baleful aura away from being full, and he couldn't wait to find more ghosts, after all, it wasn't easy to find a copy with such a high ghost content.

He had a feeling that as long as the Yanyue Blade's baleful aura was full, it would definitely bring him a pleasant surprise.

……

Southeast of Silent Town.

Two men and a woman were running away in a panic. They were all students from an unknown school and had barely made it to the mid-level.

They were ragged, covered in mottled blood stains.

"Senior, are we really not going to care about Xiao Bei and the other two?" The girl asked as she ran, looking back.

"Don't look! Xiao Bei and the others have encountered evil spirits, and even the spells don't work anymore, what can we do to save them?" The taller boy pulled the girl and continued to run.

The shorter boy was constantly complaining.

"I said it just now! We can't touch that corpse, Xiao Bei and the others said it didn't matter! If they hadn't dragged the corpse out of the coffin, that fierce ghost wouldn't be chasing us!"

"Stop complaining! Run quickly! After that ghost possessed Xiao Bei, it instantly killed a mid-level! It's so scary!" The tall boy's face was a little pale.

At this time, a figure wearing a tight red Want Want (旺仔) suit, a yellow pot lid haircut, and camouflage Dou Dou shoes blocked the path of the three.

Compared to this bizarre copy, the other party's very energetic attire seemed out of place.

"Xiao...Xiao Bei?" The girl tentatively called out.

Then they saw the figure of the energetic young man slowly turn his head, revealing a bloody ghost face.

"Ah!!!"

The girl's eyes rolled back in fright, and she fainted directly.

The two boys quickly supported her and slowly retreated.

"Brother, Ghost Brother, Xiao Bei touched your corpse, it's none of our business, grievances have their owners, Ghost Brother!" The short boy tried to reason with the ghost in front of him.

"Die! All must die!"

Xiao Bei, possessed by the ghost, rushed towards them.

The two boys tried to resist, but they couldn't resist the incredibly strong Xiao Bei at all.

In just ten rounds, they were both beaten until they vomited blood and flew backwards, losing their fighting power.

Xiao Bei walked towards the short boy, grinned, and a few bloody shreds of flesh remained on his teeth.

"Don't bite me, don't bite me, please! I'm a stinky man, I'm very smelly!" The short boy was so frightened that he kept kicking his legs, and a foul-smelling liquid flowed down his trouser legs.

However, Xiao Bei, possessed by the ghost, became even more excited when he saw this, and opened his bloody mouth to bite the short boy.

The short boy's breath stagnated, and just when he thought he was doomed.

An energetic voice came from afar, and then grew louder and louder.

"The knife isn't sharp and the horse is too thin, what are you going to fight me with! Hi ha hi!"

Swish!

A flash of cold light passed by, and Xiao Bei, possessed by the ghost in front of him, was instantly cut in half, and then slowly turned into ashes.

The two boys raised their heads in horror and saw Tang Sanzang carrying a two-meter-long Yanyue Blade and running away into the distance.

"Am I...am I dreaming?" The short boy swallowed and rubbed his eyes.

"Seem...seems not, I f***ing saw it too!" The tall boy couldn't help but swear.

The girl who had fainted at this time finally woke up and opened her eyes.

"What happened? Is it safe? Where's Xiao Bei? Did you two defeat Xiao Bei?" The girl asked.

The tall boy took a breath: "Don't be afraid of what I'm about to say."

"I'm very brave, I won't be afraid, tell me." The girl nodded.

"Actually, it was Tang Sanzang who descended to save us. I just saw Tang Sanzang shouting social mantras, carrying a two-meter-long broadsword, and cutting the ghost in half with one blow before leaving."

"???"

"Are you sure you saw Tang Sanzang, not Fahai chanting Dawei Tianlong..."

At the same time, the same scene was being staged in every corner of Silent Town.

Some students were concentrating on chanting the spells of Miaofo Yan Ni, Xin An Du Hong to drive away ghosts, when they suddenly opened their eyes and found that, hey, the ghosts were gone.

Some students were being chased by ghosts, when suddenly a Tang Sanzang carrying a knife destroyed the ghosts and saved them.

There were also students who were walking on the road when suddenly a Tang Sanzang carrying a broadsword jumped out and asked them if there were any ghosts nearby...

A strange rumor that Tang Sanzang had descended to Silent Town to save the suffering and rescue the needy was quietly spreading among the students.

The people in the live broadcast room were paralyzed when they saw this scene.

Since the Silent Town exclusive copy opened, what kind of people hadn't they seen?

But they had never seen this kind of live spawn carrying a knife and looking for ghosts to kill everywhere... How much hatred must this be?

For the first time, they felt that the word pity could be used to describe ghosts.

At this time, the other students who were weak and had just entered Silent Town from the narrow passage were even more confused. They had walked for more than half an hour, but they hadn't encountered any danger at all.

"Strange, why isn't there even a ghost in this Silent Town? What about the promised supernatural power?"
