Chapter 001: Female Ghost

  Yang Hua stayed in this dark and gloomy dead house, only then did he deeply realize why that monster said that lonely waiting for death was the most painful way to die in the world.

  Here, he didn't know whether it was day or night, he only felt that his whole body had gradually collapsed, while the monster remained motionless in that posture, and hadn't said a word since saying that sentence.

  Also don't know how long it took, Yang Hua was almost suffocated in this black witch, he kept wandering here, kept walking, but didn't know what to do.

  Nor did I know how long it had been, but suddenly the heavy iron gate creaked with a loud clang.

  Then he saw a small iron door at the bottom of the thick iron gate being opened, and a beam of light shot in through the small door. Two broken bowls were thrown in from outside, followed by two steamed buns. Before Yang Hua could shout out, the small iron door was slammed shut again.

  It was originally used to deliver food to the houses of the dead.

  Yang Hua walked over and looked at the two half bowls of porridge on the ground, as well as the two steamed buns that had fallen to the ground covered in dust, and slowly picked them up.

  He looked at the two bowls of porridge on the ground, thought for a moment and picked up both bowls, walking towards the inside.

  The monster inside remained motionless, Yang Hua didn't dare to get close to him, instead he placed one of the bowls about two meters away from that strange person and put a steamed bun next to it, while holding his own bowl and drinking from it, at this moment he couldn't care less if it tasted good or not, and started devouring it like a wild beast.

  Yang Hua finished eating quickly, and after finishing, he stayed there again, staring at the small black hut. He slowly lay down on the cold ground, was he going to wait for death like this?

  At this time, he not only thought of his own past but also remembered the female ghost You Ruo who had a fate with him. Alas, I don't know where she is now? He also thought of Li Nana, and when he thought of that girl, he couldn't help but feel heartache. Then he thought of the noble young lady... Xie Yuting. These girls are also unknown how they are doing now?

  Yang Hua thought so too.

  He got more and more annoyed, turned over, but saw something had bumped him, looked down and found it was a bone, took another look, and Yang Hua was frightened, it was a human skull.

  "Huh?"

  Yang Hua let out a cry of surprise.

  After coming in all the way, Yang Hua still hadn't noticed this corner. Now that he looked over, he saw that the dimly lit corner was piled with human skulls, and it was unknown how many people there were, but judging from the number of skulls, there wouldn't be less than 10. How did they end up dying here? Were they all killed by the monster in front of them?

  Suddenly a gloomy voice came over: "I guess you must be wondering if those dead people were killed by me? Hehe, I can tell you now, yes, there are 12 people in total, all of whom I killed. You know, when I killed them, I never used the same method twice, I used 12 different methods to kill them, hehe. But don't worry, your way of dying is one that none of them have had before, so you don't need to worry about being the 13th person... even if you were, it would take some time."

  The monster in front of him spoke out the two words "kill" from his mouth as if he was saying normal words to others.

  Yang Hua said that in his heart he was a bit frightened, facing this monster who had killed countless people, he couldn't help but feel afraid.

  "You're a devil." But Yang Hua still said it boldly.

  He stared at the monster in front of him, a fire of anger burning from his heart.

  "They're all doomed." The strange man said with a chuckle.

  Yang Hua angrily said: "Regardless of whether they should die or not, it's not for you to decide. If you kill them like this, then who will come and kill you?"

  "Kill me?" The monster seemed to have heard Huang Duanzi's joke and burst out laughing.

  "They don't want to kill me, what can I do?" The strange man chuckled and said.

  Yang Hua knew that it was impossible to reason with this monster, so he simply didn't say another word and lay down on the cold ground, falling asleep.

  But the monster didn't say anything else.

  It's hard to say how much longer this dull and monotonous life will last.

  Yang Hua only remembered that the person who delivered food came a total of five times, and since the last time he spoke to that strange person, Yang Hua never paid attention to him again. That person was also strange, never looking for Yang Hua to talk, as if he were the only one in this dark room.

  These days, Yang Hua has nothing to do, so he tidies up this small black room, in other words, he is finding something to do when there's nothing to do.

  When he was sorting out those dead men's bones, a person suddenly flashed into his mind.

  Bai Xiaodie

  He remembered the promise he made to Bai Xiaodie, to help that poor girl find her father, but now? However, a strange idea suddenly popped out of Yang Hua's mind.

  Is her father among these dead bodies killed by this murderer?

  Yang Hua couldn't help but start daydreaming, and thinking about it, Yang Hua had inquired for so long in the black prison, almost no one had heard of the name Bai Songren, would he also be sent to the dead house like himself and was killed here?

  This idea filled Yang Hua.

  Yang Hua finally made up his mind to ask that strange creature.

  He slowly got up.

  "Hello."

  Yang Hua shouted at the motionless monster.

  That strange man didn't say a word.

  "Hey, can I ask you something?"

  That strange person still didn't speak. Didn't move.

  Yang Hua was already accustomed to this guy's eccentric temper and said: "Have you ever killed a person named Bai Songren?"

  "What did you say?"

  Just now that motionless monster suddenly seemed like someone else was stung by a bee and almost shouted to ask.

  His voice was filled with surprise and a hint of excitement.

  This really gave Yang Hua a fright.

  "I... I asked you if you have ever killed a criminal named Bai Songren?" Yang Hua stared at the monster and repeated.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the monster's body rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed. Before Yang Hua could react, his legs felt like they were on fire and he involuntarily knelt down to the ground. His hands were tightly grasped by one of the monster's eagle-like claws, while the other hand viciously pinched his neck.

  Yang Hua was almost choked to death and struggled desperately there.

  "Who is it? Who told you that name 'Bai Song Ren'? Tell me quickly! Tell me?"

  His voice was filled with endless anger, and his hands were almost choking Yang Hua to death.

  Yang Hua kicked his legs wildly, one hand using its last strength to gesture at the monster that was pinching his neck and unable to speak.

  The monster seemed to come to its senses, the force in its hand gradually decreasing, but its whole body was violently trembling with excitement, a pair of eyes full of extreme doubt and suspicion staring at Yang Hua in front of it.

  "Speak quickly, or I'll let you die here right now." The monster suddenly said in anger.

  Yang Hua was sent away, panting heavily with his mouth open, his face flushed red. At this moment, he bent down and squatted on the ground, coughing violently, apparently that monster's strength was indeed great.

  Finally able to speak, he slowly stood up and stared at the monster in front of him, who seemed to have gone mad. He couldn't help but wonder and said, "Someone else told me."

  "Who? Who told you?" The monster's entire body suddenly shook violently.

  Yang Hua looked at this strange scene and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  He thought for a moment, unsure whether he should tell him or not. However, considering his current situation in this godforsaken place where even his own life was uncertain, he figured it wouldn't have much of an impact on her anyway. Yang Hua thought to himself.

  Then he made up his mind and said: "It's her... it's her daughter... She told me, her daughter's name is Bai Xiaodie."

  "Nonsense!" A voice suddenly shouted angrily, like a madman.

  Before Yang Hua could react, his entire body was punched by the monster and fell to the ground with a thud.

  Yang Hua groaned and tried to get up from the ground, but ultimately fell back down.

  At this moment, the monster in front of him had a pair of eyes that turned bright red, and he looked like he was crazy, staring at Yang Hua: "You're talking nonsense, how could she tell you? How could she know you? You liar, are you with them to cheat me?"

  The monster suddenly went mad and grabbed Yang Hua with one hand from the ground and lifted him into the air.

  Yang Hua did not expect that this inappropriate question would bring himself a murder, and instead kicked his legs wildly, with a face getting whiter and whiter... It seemed that he was about to die at the hands of that monster.

  That monster suddenly stretched out its hand and Yang Hua's whole body seemed to be stunned as he stared at his chest.

  "It's impossible, it's impossible." As the monster spoke inexplicably, Yang Hua's body, which had been lifted up, fell to the ground with a thud, and let out another muffled groan as he was slammed back down onto the ground once again.

  Instead, that monster stared blankly at Yang Hua on the ground, muttering to himself: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

  Yang Hua panted heavily, taking a long time to recover. When he looked around again, the strange creature was still standing there motionless, its expression seemingly stupid, and it kept repeating: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

  "How did you get that?" The monster suddenly pointed at Yang Hua's chest and said.

  Yang Hua was taken aback and looked down to see that it was the bullet pendant that Bai Xiaodie had given him last time, saying it would help her find her father.

  At this moment, Yang Hua's chest was hanging with the pendant that Bai Xiaodie had personally handed to him at that time.

  Yang Hua couldn't understand what was going on with this monster, and even more so, he couldn't understand why its behavior was so abnormal, sometimes crazy, sometimes stupid.

  You monster stared straight at the bullet pendant around Yang Hua's neck, a pair of eyes filled with suspicion and excitement.

  He suddenly pounced on him, grasped Yang Hua's clothes and lifted him up all at once. "Tell me, tell me, where is she? Where is she now?"

  Yang Hua knew who he was referring to, shook his head and said: "I don't know who you're talking about."

  "Do you still want to cheat me?" The monster seemed to get angry, and another fist hit Yang Hua's body.

  Yang Hua let out a loud cry of pain, but his body was unable to move. At this moment, facing this monster, he was truly speechless.

  "What I... said... is true. This pendant was given to me by Bai Niangzi," Yang Hua said.

  "How is this possible? How did she give it to you?" The monster muttered to itself, its expression as if it had met an old friend after many years.

  Yang Hua said: "It's Bai Guniang... she gave it to me personally, she asked... me to help her find... her father. She also said that only with this thing can her father recognize her."

  That monster suddenly seemed as if it had been struck by lightning and was stunned there.

  With one push, Yang Hua's body fell to the ground.

  "Is what you said true? She came looking for me?" The monster suddenly spoke in an agitated tone, muttering to itself.

  Yang Hua's body ached but he couldn't care less at this moment, staring at the man with an odd expression and couldn't help but ask: "Looking... for you?"

  The monster suddenly burst out laughing.

  "What about her now? Where is Xiaodie now?" The stranger's eyes turned red, and his entire face was flushed with excitement.

  "Who are you?" Yang Hua asked, having already guessed seven or eight parts in her heart, but still dared not to confirm.

  The strange man suddenly burst out laughing wildly.

  "White deliver benevolence."

  His voice came, and Yang Hua, who was sitting on the ground, was shocked. He stared at the killer in front of him with an unbelievable gaze, finding it hard to imagine that this was actually White Butterfly's father.
