The three elders of the Chi family are clearly not very happy about Chi You’s rejection.

“That’s what you full-bloods are supposed to do, it’s your duty to help the family deal with the Yin!”

“You’re only eighteen, what are you afraid of ghost tattoo backlash, and then backlash won’t kill you now, why don’t you do it quickly?”

“You, what kind of look is that!”

Some of the elders said in horror.

Chi You withdrew her eyes and walked slowly to the side of the red-clad ghost. Jiang Luo looked up and saw Chi You place his hand on the female ghost in red. The ghostly lines spread from his neck to his arm and then from the back of his hand to his fingertips.

The closer the ghost pattern gets to the ghost, the more the ghost screams. The black ghost pattern actually detaches itself from Chi You’s body and starts to devour the female ghost in red from the head like a sticky black liquid.

The female ghost in red screams in terror, her screams about to pierce Jiang Luo’s eardrums. Her whole body was choked and lifted up by the ghostly pattern, disappearing little by little from her upper body to her abdomen.

The elders of the Chi family gave a relieved expression and nodded, “That is only right.”

But no sooner had they spoken than the ghostly infant in the belly of the woman in red suddenly squeezed out of the woman’s belly and the bloody mess fell to the ground, suddenly springing up and biting viciously into a man’s neck before the elders of the Chi family could react!

The eldest member of the Chi family who was bitten in the vitals screamed out in pain, “Ahhhhhh!”

He went to yank the ghostly baby away from his neck with great force, his face turning blue between choking breaths as the ghostly baby clambered intractably around his neck with its arms and legs, as if it had grown on his neck. The eldest member of the Chi family looked at the other two men in horror and fear, “You have to come and help me!”

But the other two had long since gone into hiding and shivering.

Under the threat of death, he yanked off the ghostly foetus from his neck, but even pulled off a piece of flesh from his own neck, and he let out two more painful “ho ho” sounds.

Chi You smiles quizzically.

After one man was killed, the ghostly infant’s two vacant eyes fixed on the other two men. The other two men’s hearts trembled as they saw the ghostly infant jumping on the ceiling and rushing towards them.

The ghost baby was extremely bouncy, jumping all over the walls and ceiling, rushing down from time to time to bite and attack. In a short while, the two remaining elders had been bitten and bruised by the ghost baby and fell to the ground in convulsions, covered in blood.

Seeing that they were about to die, Chi You only then devoured the female ghost completely and stepped forward to devour the ghostly infant that had attacked them in the ghostly pattern as well. After all this, Chi You coughed with a pale face, “Since there is nothing more to do, I will go back to rest.”

The elders lying on the ground over half a hundred years old looked at him dead in their blood-blinded eyes, their fingers constantly shaking, urging him to save them quickly.

Chi You looked at them with a slight twinkle in his eyes and said gently, “Don’t worry, I will call someone to save you, and I will never let you die.”

“How can you die?” He turned and walked out of the shrine, pleasantly, “How can you die at the hands of others.”

After Chi You’s back had disappeared, Jiang Luo slipped silently into the shrine.

The three elders were on the verge of running out of breath, blood pooling in a puddle beneath them. Two had passed out, leaving one man awake. It was only when Jiang Luo approached him that the white-haired Chi elder noticed someone coming. Hope for life flared in his eyes, but in the next instant, the visitor crouched down in front of him and grabbed him by the neck with precision.

“Close your eyes,” the visitor’s voice was cold, “and if I catch you with them open, I will gouge them out.”

The eldest member of the Chi family said in horror, “Who are you?!”

The visitor did not speak, but his fingers kept pushing harder and harder, even as one hand poked into his abdomen where a piece of flesh had been bitten off by the ghostly baby, almost touching his intestines.

The Chi family elders panicked, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I can give you anything you want, don’t kill me!”

“I’ll ask you a few questions, if you answer them well I can spare your life,” the hand on his neck was abruptly hard, causing the Chi elder to cough violently out of control, “Do you understand me?”

“I say, I can say anything!”

“What’s a full-blooded ghost tattoo?”

The Chi family elder’s teeth knocked for a moment, “Ghost tattoo, ghost tattoo is something that every first line has, when not used it will be sealed in three moles, when used it will crawl out of the moles, it is the strongest bottom card of the first line!”

Jiang Luo asked, “What are the strengths and weaknesses of the ghost tattoo?”

“The Ghost Tattoo can devour everything! Every time a powerful grievance spirit is devoured, the Ghost Tattoo becomes more powerful. But the Ghost Tattoo will recoil on the human body. The more the Ghost Tattoo is used, the more the Ghost Tattoo recoils, until one day, the Ghost Tattoo will devour the possessed master as well. Every time a full-blood uses a ghost tattoo, the ghost tattoo recoils and brings severe pain, and when the ghost tattoo recoils are over, they will also experience a period of weakness.”

Jiang Luo’s realization dawned on him.

No wonder Chi You reappeared much weaker after helping him kill the faceless monster in the trainee dormitory.

Isn’t this the period of weakness after using a ghost tattoo?

“Why are you feeding Chi You to the Liege?”

The eldest member of the Chi family looked thrown back for a moment, “Our Chi family became famous by completely removing the grievances, Chi You Since we are a first line, we have to take the responsibility of reviving the family. We will let him take care of any grievance spirits we catch, every generation of the first line before him has done so, big deal, big deal to have another offspring before he dies, the ghost tattoo will always be lodged in the body of the Chi family’s first line anyway ……”

Jiang Luo said with understanding, “So you’re treating the first family like bins, you’re really scum.”

What is it if they are not a bin when they feed the stern ghosts to the first line and the ghostly patterns of the first line keep backfiring and forcing the death of the first line?

He lit a cigarette with one hand and simply sat down on the floor and continued to ask, “Where did the full-blooded ghost tattoo come from?”

“Several, several hundred years ago,” the Chi family elder said warily, “the Chi family’s first line saved and rescued a man, and that man gave the ghost tattoo to the first line in return, when the ancestor of the first line and the ghost tattoo merged into one, their strength increased greatly and carried the Chi family to the top. The ghost tattoo was reincarnated in the first line from generation to generation, making each first line a genius with exceptional spiritual qualifications! They are also the only ones who can learn the art of puppet soul refinement ……”

“Who is this man?”

“Yes-”

The eldest member of the Chi family opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth opened and closed several times but not a word came out, and finally his head lolled and he suddenly died.

Jiang Luo frowned and reached out to place his hand on his nostrils, which were no longer breathing.

Is who that man is also a secret that cannot be told?

In fact, Jiang Luo would not believe everything that came out of this man’s mouth. Because this is the world in the mirror, and there is a man behind the mirror.

Secrets in this world are not always accurate in their entirety. Who knows if this was deliberately told to him by those behind the curtain to stir up his attention?

Jiang Luo gets up and leaves from the shrine.

But as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Chi You standing at the door.

Chi You was only three metres away from him, he didn’t know when he was standing there and how long he had been listening. The shadow of the trees enveloped him and he said to Jiang Luo with interest, “If you have any questions, you can come and ask me.”

Jiang Luo’s heart skipped a beat, and he steadied his face without changing his expression as he followed his words, “Okay, then tell me, why do all the women who marry into your Chi family’s direct lineage die before they reach thirty?”

“Because they will conceive and give birth to full-blooded offspring,” Chi You stepped forward and the shadows faded from him, Jiang Luo stood still until Chi You forced himself in front of him, “Full-blooded offspring are born as human ghosts, and the power of the ghost tattoo is so strong that the mother is The ghost tattoo is so powerful that the mother is sucked out of her life force little by little during the pregnancy. By the time the child is born, the conceiver will be dead and dying.”

“While the first line does not want their offspring to be tormented by ghostly patterns, the side line does not. In the eyes of the side line, the first line is their strongest weapon to secure their position. To conceal their malevolent intentions, every time they took a wife for the first line, they would divine the eight characters, marry a short-lived woman who would willingly give birth to offspring for the first line, and then push this ‘death at thirty’ curse on the first line, giving the first line a notorious reputation.”

Chi You lowered his head and locked eyes with Jiang Luo at close range, his eyes as morose as those of a stern ghost, but he smiled and said in a kindly manner, “Young Master Jiang, what else do you want to ask?”

The smell of cigarettes exhaled back and forth between Jiang Luo’s nostrils as he calmly said, “There’s plenty more there.”

The waves in the dark were tit-for-tat, no one backing down a step. At this moment, a servant hurriedly came from afar, “Young master, someone has come to investigate the death in our mansion!”

Chi You straightened up and took a step back, smiling, “Young Master Jiang, accompany me.”

Jiang Luo shrugged and followed him at a brisk pace towards the front door.

Two men in military uniforms stand at the gate of the Chi family home from a distance.

The one in the forefront is dressed in a tailored dark grey uniform with a cloak to keep the sand out, a leather belt around his waist and a spiked riding crop hanging above him. He was looking down at his newspaper, his trouser legs straight, his boots wrapped around his strong, sturdy calves, his tall form blocking access to the entire gate, and he looked like a sharp, merciless dagger with a powerful presence.

Jiang Luo and Chi You had been walking up to them when the adjutant standing behind the man gave them a look before he whispered a warning, ” Young master, here they come.”

Young master looks up from his newspaper, his military cap covering his brow, revealing only the man’s sharply curved jaw and his thin, uncertainly curved lips.

Wearing white gloves, he gently closed the newspaper, “The master of the Chi family, the two children?”
