Chapter 312: Hometown of the Witch (Part 1)
It took less than two and a half hours to fly from City F to City N. It was already midnight when it landed. The black box took the lead in bidding farewell to Gu Yun and disappeared alone in the night.
Gu Yunze took a car on the street and handed over the address left by Ikeda Aoya to the driver.
According to Aya Ikeda, Ikeda had already arranged a residence for him in a famous family at that time.
Gu Yun sat in the back row of the taxi, and one of them caught the information about Green Winchester mentioned in the black box, as well as the weight of the "Duzzle Demon" itself.
The last time Marian used the time when fighting him, the forbidden spell could even directly block his actions, and only one-third of the remaining pages could give birth to a vampire Count comparable to the natural disaster...
This magic book seemed to be much stronger than he thought, and Marianne mentioned more than once that she had failed to fully learn the magic of the magic book before the "Duzzle Magic Book" was taken away by Green Winchester.
Gu Yun felt that the origin of this magic should be closely related to disaster, or it was actually a magic created by disaster himself.
This disaster star, which was once forever exiled by the gods, was once again mentioned.
In fact, from the beginning of the ghoul incident, it seems that everything is caused directly or indirectly by disasters.
Immediately afterwards, the rapid brake sound interrupted Gu Yun's thoughts.
The elderly driver's head was buried on the steering wheel, his chest was undulating violently, and he gasped and felt as if he was greatly frightened, and his eyes looked at the rearview mirror from time to time.
On the deserted highway, a hunched old man walked forward slowly.
The old man was holding an oil lamp in his hand. The distance illuminated by the oil lamp was really limited, and his whole face was covered in the hood of his robe.
"Don't look back, don't look at him!"
Although he was frightened, the driver still resisted reminding Gu Yun.
"What is that?"
"The gravekeeper also calls it a lantern ghost. In short, no matter what he says to you, don't respond!"
Gu Yun originally wanted to continue asking, but the driver closed his eyes and did not move, looking like he was sleeping to death.
In the spirit of doing things yourself, Gu Yun quickly entered these keywords into the search bar known to Baidu.
Behind several top cemetery job advertisements, Gu Yun found some gossip about the Lantern Ghost.
The gravekeeper is a traditional profession, but when it comes to being associated with the lantern ghost, he becomes a monster in folk legend.
In the customs of N City, the cemetery is the hub connecting the world and the underworld. The long-term work has led to some of the gravekeepers being affected by the breath of the underworld. After their death, their souls cannot rest in peace and will still wander aimlessly in the world. They appear in the middle of the night. Once passers-by respond to him, the souls will be brought back to the underworld by the lantern ghost.
When Gu Yun quickly finished reading the introduction about the Lantern Ghost, the hunchbacked old man had already stopped in front of the car window.
Through the light of the oil lamp, Gu Yun saw a wrinkled face under his cloak, which looked almost the same as an ordinary old man.
The old man lifted up the oil lamp and shone on Gu Yun, and the two sides looked at each other for a moment.
In some folk legends, just looking at the lantern ghost is equivalent to responding to his invitation. Perhaps it is because of hearing such legends that the driver is so scared that he buried his head on the steering wheel.
But Gu Yun didn't care about this.
I just looked at you, why?
In his opinion, the lantern ghost is not fast and its aura is not strong. It belongs to the weak among many evil spirits.
After a while, the Lantern Ghost stretched out his right hand, and his skinny palm slowly stretched towards Gu Yun's arm.
"stop!"
Just as Gu Yun was about to send the other party back to the underworld with one punch, a cold female voice came from the night sky.
When the shout sounded, a white spell full of strange words had been posted on the back of the lantern ghost.
The flashing green flame reflected the woman's awesome look, her long black hair swayed with the evening breeze, and the white-clothed scabbard showed her identity.
"Back to your original world, the people of the underworld!"
As she spoke, a holy white stream of light flashed in her black eyes, and her movements were not dragging on the talisman. When this spell was attached to the back of the lantern ghost, the lantern ghost made an extremely tragic roar.
Even though she had firmly gained the upper hand, the witch who came from somewhere did not neglect at all. In order to ensure that the lantern ghost completely lost its power of action, she...
He took out a short knife and stabbed the lantern ghost several times.
This person is a modern physics school spirit extermination master!
Good guy, Gu Yun is right.
Unexpectedly, this graceful witch actually adopted the same genre of the soul-killing method as him!
After being stabbed several times by an unknown witch, the lantern ghost finally twitched Gu Yun with his last strength, and his whole body turned into ashes.
This scene naturally did not escape the witch's sight.
After getting rid of the lantern ghost in the blink of an eye, she directly opened the car door and forced Gu Yun to pull him off from the back seat. Under the latter's confusing gaze, she took out a Japanese wine bottle and poured the clear liquid with a faint smell of wine and plum inside on the back of Gu Yun's hand that had just been scratched by the lantern ghost.
After completing this series of actions, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Recently, it is the day when the world and the underworld overlap. If you don't want to die, it's nothing to do in the evening. Don't wander around outside."
In the eyes of the witch, Gu Yun is just a naughty man.
Just now, the lantern ghost caught the soul of this man through the car window. Not only did this man not mean to resist or dodge, but his eyes were bigger than the lantern ghost.
Those who don’t know thought it was this person who was calling the soul of the Lantern Ghost.
Every year, hundreds of young men like Gu Yun died in various bizarre events in N cities, and the witches could not arrive at the scene in time every time. Most of the time, they could only play the role of autopsy.
"You're lucky today."
"Thank you, what's your name?"
Although Gu Yun did not need the help of the witch, no matter how he said that others had "save" him. His sister emphasized to him more than once that we should be polite and be kind.
So he decided to send some small gifts to the witch when he settled down to show his gratitude.
"My name?"
