He was getting worried that these people would forget about them if they didnât make a sound.
Ever since they arrived, they had been chatting with each other. None of them paid any attention to the four students.
Like Xie Jilingâs classmates, the four students had used their holidays to travel here for fun.
However, these four students were from a college closer to Ta Town. It was a college from the same province.
So, traveling here was more convenient for them.
Initially, they had never intended to go on an adventure.
However, Ghost Town was famous, so they wanted to check it out.
But when they checked into the homestay, the owner of the homestay told them about the two missing cases in the past.
This made them curious.
They never had the intention of going on an adventure. However, when they heard about it, they wanted to stay and see things for themselves.
But who would have thought that Ghost Town would be so terrifying at night?
It was so dark one couldnât even see oneâs hand.
Initially, because the scenic area wasnât allowed to be too developed, the closest place with people was an hourâs drive away.
As such, if one looked into the distance from Ghost Town, one would not see any lights.
Usually, in a place away from light pollution, one would see a lot of stars in the night sky.
But unfortunately, Ghost Town was very foggy, covering the night sky above.
This place was truly so dark that one would not even be able to see oneâs own hand.
One would not see any light.
Even the moonlight and the starlights were blocked by the fog.
In an environment like this, the four were scared even if they still hadnât seen any vengeful spirits.
They wanted to go out.
However, the fog was everywhere. Where could they go?
They had no idea!
They couldnât figure out the directions.
They could rely on the stars to figure out the directions.
However, the sky was being blocked by the fog!
The four felt very regretful.
Fortunately, they bumped into Xie Jiwen and felt hopeful.
What the guy said caught their attention.
And he immediately said, âWe arenât going to wait here anymore. Why donât you send us outside?â
Xie Jiwen shook his head and said, âIf you leave now, itâs not as safe as being here.â
âJust stay in this area formation until daytime, and you can walk out by yourselves by then.â Xie Jiwen said.
âYes.â Xie Jiling said, âWe are not sure what is in here. If we encounter something while we are walking you all to the exit, what are we going to do? By then, we would have to protect you, and that would hinder our movements, which would be even more troublesome for us.â
When the four students heard what they said, they didnât respond.
Xie Jiling took out her compass and said, âI set up a spirit-attracting formation this morning. We can check that area.â
âNo wonder that area has a thicker spiritual aura than other areas,â Xie Jiwen said.
At this moment, Han Zhuofeng, being his mischievous self, asked, âWhy is elder brother able to detect the amount of spiritual aura when you need to rely on the compass?â
Xie Jiwen was speechless.
Suddenly, he no longer felt worried.
With Han Zhuofengâs ability, there was no way he could flirt and get a girlfriend.
Xie Jiling didnât think there was anything wrong with what Han Zhuofeng asked.
So, she patiently explained, âEveryone has different talents. My elder brotherâs talent is to detect the waves of spiritual power without the need for a compass. My talent is to make high-level talismans.â
Xie Jiling seemed to be worried that Han Zhuofeng might not understand as she continued explaining, âNot every exorcist can make a high-level talisman. This has something to do with oneâs ability to manipulate the energies in a talisman.â
Han Zhuofeng nodded, indicating that he understood.
When they started chatting with each other again, one of the boys made a noise to remind Xie Jiling and the others about their existence.
âErm⦠Are you all leaving just like that? What about us?â the boy asked.
âJust stay in the same spot, and nothing will happen to you,â Xie Jiwen said, âAs long as you donât leave the area formation that I have set up, even if there is something in here, it will not be able to break its way into the area formation.â
âThe worst thing that might happen would be a visually striking experience,â Xie Jiwen said.
The studentsâ faces turned pale.
They instantly knew what Xie Jiwen meant by a visually striking experience.
Could vengeful spirits be good-looking?
Vengeful spirits would definitely look horrible, as they were very good at frightening people.
If the vengeful spirit continued attacking them from outside the area formationâ¦
That would be a very intense imagery.
âWe⦠still think it would be safer for us to follow you.â A boy said.
Xie Jiwen had said everything he should. When he saw that they still had such intentions, he deepened his voice and said, âIf you want to live, then behave yourselves and stay in the area formation. Donât move a single step outside of it. If you leave the area formation and actually encountered something, I would not be responsible for that.â
âIf you are really scared, close your eyes and stop looking,â Xie Jiwen said, âIf you follow us, it wonât be as safe as being in the area formation. Who knows what could have caused you to be separated from the group along the way?â
âIt is very foggy here. If you got taken away, no one will hear or see a thing.â Xie Jiwen added.
âTherefore, you four should hug each other. If you hear any sounds, cover your ears. If you are scared of seeing something, close your eyes. No matter what you see or hear, just donât move,â Xie Jiwen elaborated.
âIf your phone isnât out of battery, you can use earphones and listen to some music to block out the noises in the surrounding.â Xie Jiling advised.
âLetâs go.â Xie Jiwen urged.
Xie Jiling nodded.
She had a compass in her hands, while Xie Jiwen could detect spiritual waves with his talent.
The two walked up to the front and finally arrived at the spirit-attracting formation Xie Jiling had set up this morning.
It had to be the same thing Xie Jiwen had detected earlier.
âWho are you all?â
