69: Chapter 69 Revenge

"No... no..." Liu Wenxuan watched the scene before him, stumbling as he ran forward.

He trembled as he reached out his hands, wanting to embrace the girl on the bed, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch her.

At the foot of the bed, a short and sleazy-looking man was undoing his belt; it was the same street stall owner from the antique street earlier.

A black shadow extended from the man's body, and a pair of red eyes upon the shadow appeared exceptionally sinister in the dim environment.

"Is this a Ghost possession!" Watching the scene before him, Lu Siye guessed to himself.

"Did you think you could escape just by killing yourself? Naive! I can still enjoy this body of yours that's still warm, hahaha!" The man laughed lecherously, his eyes glowing with a faint red light, just like the black shadow on his body.

Upon hearing this, the stubbornness in Li Sisi's eyes instantly turned into an unshakable despair.

"You deserve to die!" Liu Wenxuan roared and turned around, throwing a punch at the man.

His fist passed right through the man's head, and having lost his balance, he fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah!" Liu Wenxuan roared, his eyes red as he scrambled back up and charged at him again.

He got up again and again, and charged again and again.

"Beast!" Lu Siye couldn't help but curse under his breath.

His heart was also filled with rage, but Lu Siye kept himself in check, because he knew that in this memory playback, no matter what he did, he could not change the facts that had already occurred.

"Why..." Until the very end, Liu Wenxuan collapsed helplessly to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.

The more memories he recovered, the more his heart ached.

Just as the man reached the bedside, he suddenly looked out the window, a flash of alarm and anger appearing on his face.

The black shadow on his body quickly merged into the man, rapidly taking over his body.

"Damn it!" The man hoisted the still-breathing Li Sisi onto his shoulder, leaped down from the broken window, and arrived beside the well.

"What a pity to lose such a beauty I finally got my hands on!" The man reached out and grabbed Li Sisi's hair, took a deep breath, and reluctantly threw her into the well.

With a splash, Li Sisi fell into the well. The murky well water gradually submerged her, and blood stained the surroundings a deep crimson.

Everything before her gradually became blurry; darkness and coldness encroached upon her bit by bit, and she slowly closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Wenxuan. I cannot keep the promise between us. Please, forget me!"

The man did not care whether Li Sisi lived or died; he simply ran away in a panic.

Not long after the man left, the dark clouds in the night sky dispersed, revealing a bright moon. The clear moonlight shone onto the earth and also into the well.

Lu Siye came to the side of the well and looked inside. With the help of the faint moonlight, after seeing the scene within the well, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Besides Li Sisi, there were at least three skeletons at the bottom of the well.

Li Sisi was not the first victim.

Suddenly, endless resentment gushed out from the well, flowing onto the ground. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire courtyard and continued to expand outward.

Wherever the resentment passed, the Yin Qi deep underground was completely extracted.

The five-thousand-year history of the Nine Provinces is essentially a history of war. Every inch of land has once been buried with corpses, and beneath this land, rich Yin Qi is contained.

However, under normal circumstances, this Yin Qi is hidden deep underground, but now, some of this Yin Qi was actually being drawn out, which was simply inconceivable.

A massive amount of Yin Qi combined with that dense resentment—is this why Li Sisi became a Specter!

A cursed object is a special item that harbors the powerful obsession of a Ghost at the Specter Realm or above. This means that after Li Sisi died, she must have transformed into a Specter.

"Die! Die! You must die!" A piercing voice came from the well.

That was not Li Sisi's voice, nor did it sound like the voice of one person; it was the sound of many people overlapping.

Gurgle!

The water in the well began to flow backward and surge out. Li Sisi's body was pushed out from the well and landed by the edge.

Endless resentment, carrying dense Yin Qi, crazily surged into this still-warm body.

The aura belonging to a Ghost rose upon the body, and in the blink of an eye, it advanced from a Grudge Ghost to a Vicious Ghost.

Until the moment all the resentment surged in, her aura leaped from a Vicious Ghost to a Specter.

'Li Sisi' suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils were pitch black, just like an abyss.

At the same time, the surrounding environment seemed to lose its color, and everything was left with only black and white.

'Li Sisi' moved. She turned into an afterimage and headed in the direction where the man had fled earlier.

The surrounding objects retreated rapidly, and by the time 'Li Sisi' stopped, she had already caught up to that man.

"How is this possible?" The man looked as if he had seen a Ghost, his blood-red eyes filled with unconcealable shock.

"Die!" Several overlapping voices shouted from 'Li Sisi's' mouth.

Infinite resentment spread from her body, transforming into several thick iron chains that instantly locked the man's hands, feet, waist, and neck.

The Vicious Ghost possessing the man wanted to escape, but it found that it couldn't leave the body even in the slightest; the chains made of resentment had imprisoned it as well.

"No... impossible. Based on resentment alone, even if you are all residing in the same body, you cannot Breakthrough to the Specter Realm; it's absolutely impossible." The man roared and struggled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Die!" At this moment, 'Li Sisi' seemed to have lost her reason; there was only hatred and resentment in her eyes.

Six skeletons slowly crawled out from the six iron chains formed by resentment, rushing onto the man's body like geckos.

They began to tear at the man's flesh and rip at his sinews and bones.

"Ah!" No sooner had the shrill scream rung out than one of the skeletons stuck its fingers into his mouth, fiercely pinching the man's tongue and slowly pulling it out.

With a ripping sound, a severely deformed tongue fell onto the ground.

The body possessed by the Vicious Ghost was far superior to that of an ordinary person; even though the blood in the man's body was about to run dry, he remained conscious, still able to clearly feel the excruciating pain coming from his body.

Being eaten alive by skeletons was a pain akin to the torture of death by a thousand cuts.

These were the people he had once murdered, now transformed into resentful skeletons to exact their revenge.

"Serves you right!" Lu Siye watched as the other party's flesh was stripped away bit by bit, and the whole person gradually turned into a skeleton, without a shred of pity in his heart.

The moment the man finally breathed his last, the scene before them changed once again, and they arrived in the rented apartment where Liu Wenxuan lived.
