Chapter 191: People Like You Living Affect My Mood for Living

, The Genie Starting from Marvel

While Lin Fengjiao and the others were preparing for the upcoming battle, in the top-floor power distribution room of the Pigeon Building, Lin Jiu looked at the debris falling 'rustlingly' outside the window, his face grave.

Lin Jiu had just tried it; those debris outside dealt true damage. No matter what method was used, that kind of damage could not be avoided; one could only rely on the physical body to resist it hard, and this was also the item Lin Jiu was least good at.

"Is it you playing tricks?" Lin Jiu kicked Chen You, who was tied to the ground, fiercely.

As Lin Jiu, who had experienced the whole event once and successfully broken the situation, he knew the true information of every resident in the Pigeon Building. In the entire Pigeon Building, only Chen You possessed certain means to confront him, which was also the reason why he kidnapped Chen You at the first opportunity.

Chen You closed his eyes, having no intention of opening his mouth at all.

"Very tough, do you think you are some kind of good person?" Lin Jiu pulled Chen You up from the ground. "Do you think I don't know? How many times have you hoped for the era when zombies were everywhere to return? That way, you, this Taoist, would be even more valuable, and wealth and honor would be within reach!"

Chen You continued to say nothing, as if he had turned into a deaf person.

"Is not speaking useful? I tell you, Rotten-Mouthed Dong is already dead; I killed him. Once again, if you had cooperated a little, his death this time at least wouldn't have come so quickly." Lin Jiu provoked Chen You crazily, trying to use words to break through Chen You's psychological defense line.

For the Pigeon Building to become like this, Lin Jiu was very certain that Chen You definitely played a pivotal role in it.

There were two reasons.

First, the Book of Darkness hidden under the floor of the secret room in the mourning hall was gone. Lin Jiu's evil arts were mostly learned from it; it was a book pointing directly to some evil great existence. According to the timeline of entering the Pigeon Building, it should have been lying quietly under the floor, waiting for Lin Jiu to discover it during one of the cremations of ashes.

Lin Jiu had originally intended to take another one to use as a magic tool, but looking at it this time, it was gone.

Second, the ancestral compass in Chen You's room was gone. That compass had witnessed the development of the era and was stained with the essence and blood of countless zombies and Taoists. Placed one or two hundred years ago, it was also an incredible magic tool. More importantly, that compass could connect to the entire apartment body and open a powerful formation.

If it weren't for Lin Jiu faking his death to escape back then, letting Chen You vent all the power of the formation onto the super-strong evil object that was a combination of a female ghost and a zombie, without any residue, Lin Jiu wouldn't even be sure if he could rely on the power of the Book of Darkness to leave that world.

"I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then, leaving your corpse, preparing to hold a funeral for you afterward." Chen You opened his eyes, looked at Lin Jiu, and said the first sentence since being kidnapped.

"Then be soft-hearted one more time, okay? I just want to live. Anyway, you have all died once; when will the retribution of injustice end?" Lin Jiu suddenly pleaded a little. "I promise, this time leaving here, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and burn paper for you every Qingming Festival."

"You can't fool me anymore." Chen You answered coldly. "This time, your life, your sins, should be repaid!"

As soon as Chen You finished speaking, the floor of the top floor began to vibrate, accompanied by a 'thump, thump, thump' sound.

Lin Jiu knew it was Uncle Dong coming. Uncle Dong's body was used for corpse refining in a four-yin land, combined with the lifting of a coffin made of incense cedar wood, and finally, on the night of the soul's return on the seventh day, the virgin's fresh blood was used to stimulate all the yin energy; it was a top-grade zombie.

What? You ask why he knew so clearly? Because this zombie was refined by him, only he played it too hard in the end.

"Ridiculous, do you think I would fear a small zombie?" Lin Jiu grabbed Chen You with his right hand, his color fierce but his heart cowardly.

"Then let's try and see." Chen You said, closing his eyes again.

Lin Jiu stepped on the ground with his left foot, and a peach wood sword flew up. Lin Jiu wiped his two fingers across the sword body in the air. "Sword, sharpen!"

A few drops of black blood completely infected the entire peach wood sword. The precious sword, originally used to drive away evil, became three parts more evil than the evil object itself under Lin Jiu's magic.

Immediately after, Lin Jiu flicked his right hand, and the small ghosts raised in his sleeves were driven out in a rush.

"Gather souls into ghosts, Ghost King appears!"

Each small ghost emitted a shrill scream, and the souls full of curses and resentment shattered into pieces, merging into a huge Ghost King under Lin Jiu's magic.

"Skill in driving ghosts, use bells as commands!" Lin Jiu placed his right hand horizontally in front of the Ghost King, holding a Three Pure Bells in his palm. With the rotation of his wrist, a crisp sound rang out. The Ghost King moved, 'swish', grabbed the evil peach wood sword inserted in the ground, and floated in mid-air.

"Go!"

Lin Jiu pointed forward, and Uncle Dong happened to hop past the last corner, meeting him face to face.

Lin Jiu's face completely activated Uncle Dong's evil nature. Uncle Dong directly left the ground with both feet and flew toward Lin Jiu in mid-air.

Flying Zombie?!

Lin Jiu felt a bit shocked in his heart, his right hand waving rapidly, the bell sound becoming more and more urgent.

Following this sound, the Ghost King's speed also kept accelerating, simultaneously raising the peach wood sword in his hand.

"Slash!"

Lin Jiu shouted loudly, and the precious sword in the Ghost King's hand fell straight down.

Clang! The precious sword fell on Uncle Dong, emitting a strange sound of metal and stone, then broke directly into two pieces from the middle and flew into the sky.

Almost simultaneously, Uncle Dong smashed the Ghost King's body and, taking advantage of the Ghost King's re-aggregation, rushed straight toward Lin Jiu.

How is it possible!

Lin Jiu was shocked. With this set of combos, even if Uncle Dong were really a Flying Zombie, he would have to lie on the ground for a while; how could it have no effect at all?

Chen You was not surprised by this at all. Back then, Uncle Dong's body, having eaten all kinds of buffs, could withstand this sword, let alone now.

After Lin Jiu crazily killed all the surviving residents and blood-sacrificed to the evil god to leave the Pigeon Building, Uncle Dong was revived by some unknown power along with all the residents. Moreover, during this period, Uncle Dong's biggest problem was made up for, which was that the time he had turned into a zombie was too short.

Seeing Uncle Dong getting closer and closer, Lin Jiu felt a bit of panic in his heart and directly threw Chen You toward Uncle Dong.

'Puchi!'

Uncle Dong stopped after piercing through Chen You.

On his straight-extended hands, Chen You looked down at the two large holes in front of his chest. Not only was there no pain, but he also revealed an expression of relief. Soon, bright red blood surged out from Chen You's body and entered Uncle Dong's body along his skin.

"You are actually still alive!!!" Lin Jiu was shocked again. He thought that everyone in the entire Pigeon Building should have died clean; he didn't expect that Chen You, who had been swaying in front of him, was actually a living person.

That is to say, Chen You had been living with a group of dead people for so many years, making glutinous rice for them. If this Pigeon Building was a living tomb, then Chen You was the only gravekeeper.

Now, the only gravekeeper was dead.

Chen You opened his mouth, his right hand extending forward, blood surging from his throat, blocking the words he wanted to say in his throat.

From Chen You's perspective, in the corner of the power distribution box, a small boy was squatting. The boy had white hair; it was the virgin boy originally sacrificed to the zombie by Lin Jiu—Xiao Bai.

"Don't... don't hurt the innocent..." Chen You used his last bit of strength, leaving behind a sentence.

The moment Chen You completely stopped breathing, the smell of the entire building changed completely, and the entire apartment turned completely into a tomb.

The only exception was room 2110. As the compass buried underground rotated, a golden light appeared in the room.

【Do not leave the room; this is the only path to survival.】

On the roof, Lin Jiu, in shock, felt a terrifying ghost energy erupt behind him.

Losing the suppression of the compass driven by Chen You's soul, Xiao Bai's resentment erupted, and together with Uncle Dong, they sandwiched Lin Jiu in the middle, one in front and one behind.

Looking at Xiao Bai, who had transformed into a true Ghost King, a scene flashed through Lin Jiu's mind. He had seen Xiao Bai as he was now!

When the Yin Soldiers borrowed the path, the last Yin Soldier was Xiao Bai!

Trapped in a desperate situation, Lin Jiu finally took out the Book of Darkness. It wasn't that he didn't want to use this book, but without any blood sacrifice, this book would burn everything of his as fuel.

Opening the book in his hand, darkness wrapped around Lin Jiu, turning into a pitch-black Taoist robe.

The next second, Lin Jiu turned over and leaped over the railing, falling toward the ground, beginning his death struggle.

In this apartment, there were still four "teammates". As long as he caught them and used them as sacrifices, maybe he could survive the remaining few days of demons dancing wildly and return to the Hell Apartment!

This was the only way to live that Lin Jiu could think of now.

While falling, Lin Jiu saw a large door emitting golden light. Without a word, he opened the Book of Darkness.

"Swallow!"

Lin Jiu's body shriveled rapidly, and a black light emitted from the Book of Darkness, accurately hitting the door of 2110, swallowing the entire door.

The door disappeared, revealing the puzzled expressions of the four people behind the door.

They were just doing some preparations in the room; how did everything take a turn for the worse?!

"Come and help me! Otherwise, we'll all die!" Lin Jiu shouted loudly. Above him, the zombie and the Ghost King were approaching rapidly.

Constantine walked out of the room, looked at the apartment that had turned into a human purgatory, and took a deep drag of his cigarette.

"Did you do all this?" Constantine asked Lin Jiu.

"Desolation!"

Lin Jiu flipped the Book of Darkness again. After sacrificing a portion of his soul, the area around him turned into a desolate land. Here, even death itself would become desolate.

After forcing away the evil ghosts and zombies, Lin Jiu roared at the top of his voice, "So what if it's me! Come out and help first! Do you want to die here?!"

Constantine tightened his grip on the gun in his hand and exchanged glances with the other three. "Do you have any objections?"

"Guilty of heinous crimes, it's too good for him." Lin Fengjiao looked at Lin Jiu, who was struggling on the verge of death, with extreme disgust. The area of the desolate land was shrinking rapidly.

"Lao Die is afraid he won't be able to sleep at night in the future!" Lao Die's opinion was very straightforward.

"Being of the same race as him, I think there's nothing wrong with being a lizard." Connors also expressed his stance.

"That's fine then." Constantine raised the shotgun in his hand and pulled the trigger.

A Hell Fire Dragon sprayed out from the muzzle, the scorching Hellfire igniting the surrounding air and yin energy.

Lin Jiu, seeing Constantine finally take action, felt relieved in his heart; with reinforcements, maybe there was still a chance to live.

The fire dragon hit Lin Jiu's desolate land squarely, completely shattering the already withered desolate land.

Lin Jiu looked up in astonishment at Constantine, who was slowly lowering his gun. This was the third time he had been shocked today.

'Puchi!' Uncle Dong's hands pierced through Lin Jiu's body.

Xiao Bai's ghost claws tore Lin Jiu's soul apart.

"Why?" Lin Jiu looked at Constantine while being eaten. He couldn't understand; did those people not want to live anymore?

'Pah!'

Constantine spat his cigarette onto the ground. "People like you living affect my mood for living in this world."

Lin Fengjiao grabbed Constantine's hand and pulled him back into the room; a yin hand just happened to graze past the position where Constantine had been standing.

"Now we should consider ourselves." Lin Fengjiao looked out from the broken door. After Lin Jiu was torn to pieces, all the evil objects in the entire apartment were staring at their room.

"Going out now, I reckon we'll be torn into pieces," Lin Fengjiao said in a low voice, as if afraid of startling the ghosts outside. "It's just unclear whether the protection of this place can hold out until the mission time ends."

"It's tough; after the door was swallowed, the speed of energy dissipation has clearly increased by more than one level," Constantine said, sensing the concentration of golden energy. "I reckon in two or three days, it won't be useful anymore. However, I have a Silent Demon Statue here that can hold out for a while longer."

"No need, you stay in the room, leave the rest to Lao Die."

Lao Die said, tightening his grip on the Dog Talisman. The power of the Dog Talisman brought Lao Die's youth back, and Lao Die's body and spirit returned to his most powerful state.

"Lao Die doesn't need any blessings, just taking back the fleeting youth from time is enough."

Lao Die said, walking out of the door, putting his hands together. Powerful Qi magic turned into endless power, acting on Lao Die's body.

Ada!

Lao Die kicked out, directly kicking a ghost that rushed over into dispersion, then immediately assumed a stance, waiting for other evil objects to come over.

Next, Lao Die invited Lin Fengjiao and the others to watch a martial arts movie, showing how to use martial arts to beat up evil objects.

Ordinary evil objects, as long as they took a full-strength blow, basically dissipated directly; slightly stronger ones, after being beaten up by Lao Die at close range, wouldn't have a second result either.

The only one that couldn't be handled in a short time was Uncle Dong. His incomparably hard body was immune to 99% of physical damage, and the abundant yin energy offset the magic damage of Qi magic. In this huge tomb, Uncle Dong's combat power was almost pulled to the max.

'Shua, shua, shua!'

With the cooperation of countless evil objects, Lao Die, having defended for a long time, finally made a mistake and was fiercely hit twice by Uncle Dong. Two bloody marks were scratched on his chest, and several bloody holes appeared.

After retreating into the room, Lin Fengjiao hurriedly prepared to treat Lao Die's wounds.

"No need, do you have a knife?" Lao Die asked the others.

"Yes." Connors didn't understand what Lao Die wanted to do, but he still handed over the knife.

Lao Die didn't say a word and slashed his own neck fiercely. A fatal wound appeared, and the Dog Talisman played its role again, clearing all fatal wounds!

The wounds left by Uncle Dong also disappeared along with it. Normally, these wounds would have to wait for a few hours until the corpse poison erupted before being identified as fatal wounds and then wiped away by the Dog Talisman. Now, slitting his own throat directly saved a lot of time.

"Let's take turns, how about it? After all, some minor injuries still have to rely on oneself to recover slowly," Lao Die asked the other three. He had just performed a demonstration.

"No problem." The three agreed.

With the protection of the compass, 2110 could allow them to safely take turns to recover from injuries. If this continued, it wouldn't take too long to clear out the evil objects in the apartment. ===== CHAPTER 192 =====
