I was really scared and sat on the ground with weak legs.

I don't understand how Luo Qing could become like this. She has become so unfamiliar that I can hardly recognize her.

"Luo Qing, I'm really scared. Can you please stop?"

I kept sobbing.

Luo Qing and I have been good sisters since we were little.

From childhood to adulthood, we went to school together, skipped classes together, shared delicious food together, and if one of us was bullied, the other would definitely seek revenge.

I used to be most afraid of ghosts when I was a child, and she would always comfort me and sleep with me.

But now, why would she dress up as the thing I fear the most to scare me?

"Can you change back, please?"

It was quiet on the other side.

"Okay."

When I heard the familiar voice, I suddenly looked up.

It was her!

"An An, let's go together."

She still didn't give up and walked towards me.

She didn't know that she was standing in front of a formation set up by a master.

"Ah!"

In an instant, golden light burst forth, and countless talismans filled the sky, enveloping Luo Qing and pressing her firmly to the ground.

Above her head, the knitting of the spikes formed a web, transforming into countless sharp shadows that fiercely struck down, piercing into her body.

Wherever the spikes hit, her skin was scorched, and in an instant, her body turned into a phantom.

She was slowly disappearing!

"Luo Qing!"

Watching her skin being burned and vanishing bit by bit, my heart inexplicably clenched.

After knowing each other for so many years, whether she is human or ghost, I can't bear to see her disappear like this in front of me.

Without hesitation, I rushed towards the formation, wanting to pull her out.

"Don't harm me, I'll pull you out."

I spoke to her in a pleading tone, but she didn't respond.

That should mean she agreed.

"What's so hot?" The talisman paper in my pocket suddenly started to heat up.

I reached out to grab it, but I felt intense pain in my chest.

My heart felt as if it was being squeezed, and the pain made my body go weak, and I fell down.

"Master Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi!"

The formation suddenly changed, gradually shifting from golden to dark red.

I felt like the formation was slowly devouring me.

I thought it was because I had just manipulated the formation and caused it to malfunction, so I anxiously called out for Jiang Yi.

"The midnight hour has arrived. The soul talisman shall suppress the soul, a rare opportunity for rebirth!"

He walked in, reciting something in his mouth.

"Jiang Yi, what's wrong with this formation? Why is it devouring me? Is it..."

When I saw him coming in, I felt slightly relieved, thinking that he must have a solution. However, before I could finish speaking, he spoke up.

"The formation has already been activated, and I can't stop it. You can consider it as sacrificing yourself for the sake of eliminating them!"

"Ah? What?"

I didn't quite understand his words and was stunned for a moment.

I looked at him, hoping that he was just joking.

But as I looked, something was terribly wrong.

Under the moonlight, he didn't have a shadow.
