Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1550 284:

Launch failed, Lin Shuyou couldn't transform into White Crane True Monarch.Even worse, the hospitable hosts, a couple, saw the two young people standing at the door and, thinking something was up, went out to inquire.

But those two were genuine Evil Ghosts.

They could manipulate the living to move forward and were surrounded by dense Ghost Fog, belonging to a particularly vicious category among ghosts.

They didn't need to sneak in at night to cause trouble; they could kill you right in front of you.

Such entities usually don't exist for long, as being too conspicuous attracts retaliation, yet innocent people always end up paying for their sins in the early stages.

In his haste, Lin Shuyou couldn't care about anything else and jumped straight down from the second-floor terrace.

The bad news was, the child was still asleep. Worse news, Lin Shuyou had just woken up not long ago, and his injuries hadn't healed.

Earlier, even while doing laundry, he was panting heavily. Now, landing from a height, he felt as if his ribs, especially in the chest area, were grinding against each other internally.

The pain was bearable, but the ensuing chest tightness and shortness of breath made Lin Shuyou stagger, almost unable to stay on his feet.

After all, waking up from severe injury is not the same as recovering from a serious illness; the latter leaves you weak, while the former likely still leaves you with lingering damage.

But seeing the hostess already opening the door, asking if the visitors wanted to come in to escape the rain, Lin Shuyou immediately rushed over, pulling out an Evil-breaking Talisman Needle from his pocket.

Qian Ying and Wu Lan's gaze swept to the host couple, and the couple's gaze instantly turned dazed.

Before they could do anything else, Lin Shuyou dashed over, throwing two talisman needles that stuck onto the young man and woman.

With a series of crackling sounds, Qian Ying and Wu Lan staggered backward, emitting screams that didn't belong to them.

Unfortunately, as the fog behind them roiled, it offset much of the damage from the talisman paper, which burned out completely.

Even in their wretched state, their ferocity was aroused, and their eyes turned red as they glared at Lin Shuyou, resentment erupting.

In the past, such resentment could never assault Lin Shuyou, but now it slammed directly into him, sending Ah You flying backward.

Qian Ying and Wu Lan raised their hands, hair disheveled. Without moving their feet, they slid across the ground, lunging at him.

Lin Shuyou instinctively wanted to push off the ground with his palm and leap up, but the moment he did, not only did he fail to rise, but the pain made his mouth twitch, almost rolling his eyes.

His experience and awareness were intact, but his body's condition was wholly mismatched, severely dragging him down.

At that moment, Lin Shuyou understood Brother Xiao Yuan's greatest frustration.

No choice, seeing the Evil Ghosts pounce, Ah You could only use his hands, feet, and rear end to scoot backward, but Qian Ying and Wu Lan were already closing in.

The dignified White Crane True Monarch truly felt like a powerful tiger fallen into the plains at this moment.

If in full strength, these two Evil Ghosts would be easily resolved. Even without True Monarch's Power, Ah You's skills combined with tools and talisman papers could easily handle them.

But now, they genuinely had the ability to claim his life.

Wu Lan leaned forward like a compass pressing straight down, and Lin Shuyou spun on his backside like a top, narrowly dodging.

"Whoosh..."

Wu Lan's ten fingers pierced the ground. If they hit his body, there would be ten more holes.

But after dodging one, the other, Qian Ying, slid over and suddenly sat on Lin Shuyou's abdomen.

Qian Ying bent her legs like a bow, her weight pressing down, yet underneath she pinned Lin Shuyou down, completely restraining him.

To outsiders unfamiliar with this, it might even seem provocative. But in truth, once entangled with a ghost, a person becomes another kind of being.

Lin Shuyou only felt a large chunk of ice pressed heavily on his abdomen, with threads of rotten air forcing their way into his nose.

People may not rot so quickly after an incident, but this fresh kind of rot produces the most pungent smell, the lingering scent of life intertwining with ghost energy, akin to dipperroot in bean juice.

Qian Ying's arms first raised, then, like Wu Lan earlier, stabbed toward Lin Shuyou's chest.

Lin Shuyou raised his hand to block. Though he successfully stopped the other's wrist, his body was weak, lacking the strength to maintain the stalemate for long, and by now Wu Lan was also coming over, pouncing towards him.

Ah You despaired.

Not despairing because of facing death, but because he might die at the hands of such low-level beings.

Originally, this place was where he stayed with Run Sheng and Brother Bin.

No choice, Zhao Yi accompanied Run Sheng to Yin Meng's grave.

Brother Bin borrowed a tricycle from the hosts to go to the nearby county for resupply.

Even if Brother Bin were here, it wouldn't help; the four spirit beasts within him hadn't awakened, and with Brother Bin's skills, except for lying here as another potential sacrifice, he wouldn't be of much help.

Run Sheng, however, even though his chest was heavily bandaged, his injuries no lighter than mine, the Evil Qi flickered in his eyes when he inquired about Yin Meng's whereabouts after waking.

Lin Shuyou saw Three-eyed intending to make a joke at first but started speaking seriously upon seeing that look.

As for his own body, adjusted repeatedly by the child, its resistance to injury was far inferior to Run Sheng's; the child is just too inadequate.

Wu Lan's claws were already in front of him, Lin Shuyou could smell the ghost energy spewing from Wu Lan's mouth. Though still struggling against Qian Ying's arms, Ah You had already closed his eyes.

In his final moments, he didn't regret jumping to save people when in poor condition. Even if the host couple weren't hospitable, if he saw strangers in such distress, Shuyou would rush to save them without hesitation.
