Men are afraid of the third watch

e Underworld, yesterday when I saw this photo it suddenly occurred to me - what if he was picked up by this thing!""...then I will send a spirit official to follow you.""No need, it's daylight out. Ev...My arms prickled with goosebumps, and I immediately reached into my bag for the talisman, on guard.

My brother also pulled out his taser. He stopped the car and faced off against the half-bodied person in front of them.

His face was pale and he looked very dejected, wearing a very old hat.

On the rundown main street of our small town, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere. We were all taken aback, stunned into silence. My brother reacted quickly though, whispering, " ... Is this some kind of model dummy"

As soon as the words were spoken, this half-bodied figure "floated" up from behind the pillar. Ach was so frightened that he shrank back desperately and pressed against the seat backrest.

We all stared intently ahead. I leaned on my brother's seat back, barely daring to breathe, just wanting to see if this thing was a living person or a monster.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine. Turning around, I saw Jiang Qiyun standing silently beside me.

"You…" I was about to ask him how he came so early today, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I thought, he must be worried that the mysterious man Yin Su Bai would appear again.

Everyone says immortals live freely and carelessly, but he not only has a divine post that requires him to return on time, but also has attachments in the mortal world.

So I didn't have the heart to ask, knowing it was because of me. Asking again seemed a bit too much.

“What are you doing How can you be so foolish” Jiang Qiyun frowned at me without any politeness.

I pointed to the figure still moving ahead, whispering, "Didn't you see that something neither human nor ghost was there We were all watching intently, and your sudden appearance startled me..."

Jiang Qiyun frowned and glanced ahead, saying, "…It's just a paper man, can't you see Are there any ghosts around here"

"A paper man" I was stunned, this looked just like a living person.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the paper figure suddenly "stood" up and turned its head to walk towards the back of the shop.

This is an old-style terrace house, with a row of pillars made of brick and stone supporting the front porch. From our position, we could only see that paper figure seemed to have been "taken away".

My brother let out a breath and said, "I thought Qiao was being overly dramatic when she fainted from Zhang Aunty scaring her before... this is too realistic, right"

As my brother spoke, we saw the little shop preparing to close. My brother jumped out of the car and walked over with Archie to knock on the door.

I usually leave these things to the last minute. I glanced at Jiang Qiyun beside me and whispered, "You'd better watch the child..."

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me: "In my eyes, you're not much different from a child, with little ability to protect yourself. It's good that Yu Gui and You Nan are now watched by Mu Wanchen. That Yin Su Bai seems to be somewhat wary of the people of the Witch Clan."

"Fear Why" I was a little surprised, he was the honored god of the Demon Realm, would he still fear the Witch Clan

"...There must be some history there, you've seen one of the Ten Witches of Ling Shan after all. They have the power to recreate space and cut off reincarnation, they are not accepted by Heaven, and no one knows how many secrets the Witch Clan holds."

The Witch Clan... and me... and the Demon Realm.

If the three paths converge, it is in Shen's Treasure Pavilion.

"...The Wheel of Rebirth," I murmured softly.

This bead was given to Yin Luo by the witch. I was worried that during her pregnancy and childbirth, she would be disturbed by this mysterious bead, so I had it placed in the treasure vault of the Shen family.

Later, the Treasure Pavilion was raided, and the whereabouts of this pearl became unknown.

It's really a lot to take in... I reached up to rub my temples, and Jiang Qiyun's icy fingers immediately pressed against my temple.

"... Since human beings are inherently clouded in ignorance, why bother with the delusion of seeking out fortuitous opportunities" Jiang Qiyun seemed not to worry about these trivial matters at all, and even consoled me.

I smiled helplessly: "Well, to be honest, as long as it doesn't affect my family, I'm not too worried... What use would it be for a mortal to worry"

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow and said, “Which mortal is like you, bumping into ghosts as soon as they leave the house”

I was stunned, and looked at the car front and back—could there really be a ghost here

This long street was old and dilapidated, the kind of poor old city alley where no one lived, with only some paper ash visible.

If this were a traditional black and white pawn shop, it would be understandable to burn some "respect" money or incense paper here on occasion.

I jumped out of the car and came behind my brother and Archie. My brother and Archie were peering from behind a stone pillar, observing the shop that was tidying up its stall and preparing to close.

The shop has a retractable, rusty burglar-proof gate in front. Inside, there are two glass panes with a wooden door in the middle.

Behind the glass hung a black cloth, concealing everything. The wooden door was now open. That pale-faced "person" from just moments ago had drifted in through here.

"Go ask him! Is this one of your colleagues" My brother elbowed Archie.

Archie had been in this line of work for many years, but he was scared by the female ghost and very cowardly. He hugged the pillar and said, "Boss, I'm just bluffing outsiders. This kind of shop is clearly the territory of a hidden master. How dare I go and show off my skills! You should go instead!"

"You coward!" My brother said without hesitation, kicking Archie aside with his foot.

Although Ach was heavier than my brother, he was weaker and nowhere near as tough. My brother kicked him back a few steps, causing him to stumble into the security fence.

Wow!

A sudden boom made me involuntarily pull my neck back.

Not a single person on the whole street even stuck their head out to see what was happening.

This street has houses of various heights, some even with laundry hanging out to dry. It can't be empty, right

“Who are you” a sharp and wary voice suddenly broke through, pulling my gaze back.

A thin and pale teenager appeared behind the wooden door, only his face visible. He looked at us with caution.

My brother quickly chimed in, "Excuse me, we'd like to commission a paper figurine from Old Madam She. Is this your home"

The child's gaze swept over us one by one. When it landed on me, his eyes widened suddenly, revealing a flicker of fear.

What's wrong with me

The child was about to slam the door shut, but my brother reacted quickly. He took a stride forward and stopped the door with his hand: "Little sister, we're just here to buy paper figures. We'll pay you money. Don't you do business"

"Don't do it, don't do it! This, this woman is a ghost!" the child pointed at me, whispering in fear.peared in the dim corner outside!"Ah!!!" I jumped almost out of my skin.I looked up and saw only a pale chin, painted with red lips and black blood on its chin, grinning ominously.Oh my..."It's you ag...
