Liao Chen's body froze in place, as if possessed by an evil spirit.

At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Li Yang and other four people were standing back to back, forming a small circle.

They found that the surrounding area was shrouded in intense darkness.

Even the flashlight light emitted by the mobile phones in their hands can only illuminate an area of ​​about one meter in front of them.

Outside the range, everything is pitch black.

"What is going on?" Li Chang couldn't help asking.

Li Yang responded with a low voice: "Yin Qi, the Yin Qi here is too strong, and it is controlled by some sneaky evil thing, so it is like this."

Chen Xing shrugged the tip of his nose and smelled an extremely strong smell of rotting corpses.

He retched, then clenched the peach wood sword in his hand, and said nervously: "With such a strong Yin Qi, I'm afraid there are more than just one sneaky evil thing entrenched here..."

Before Chen Xing finished speaking, the other three people had already raised their vigilance to the highest level.

"Hey, could the murderer do this deliberately?" Li Chang, beside Chen Xing, lowered his voice and said sideways.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. If it is really the case, then we may be the turtles in the urn now..." Before Chen Xing could speak, Li Yang said first.

"Don't say it so harshly, it's not certain who the turtle is!" Chen Xing's anger surged. As a Taoist disciple, how could he be afraid of the sneaky evil things in the dark.

"Tai Shang Laojun, lock up ghosts and imprison demons, as urgent as a law or order, edict!"

As Chen Xing blurted out the spell quickly, the peach wood sword in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light.

The light spread quickly like fireflies, and then disappeared into the surrounding darkness.

In just a moment, the aura of the entire Lichun Hotel underwent earth-shaking changes.

Li Yang originally planned to stop Chen Xing and ask him not to activate the ghost locking formation so early.

However, Chen Xing cast the spell too fast, and before he could stop it, the formation was already activated.

In desperation, he could only accept this fact.

But accept it, accept it, and say a few words is still unavoidable.

"Chen Xing, can you stop being so irritable in the future!"

"This ghost-locking formation can only seal the sneaky evil things in this area. It will not be of any help to our current situation."

After hearing what Li Yang said, Chen Xing also realized that there was indeed something wrong with his approach.

This was also a rare moment when he remained silent and did not argue with Li Yang.

"Stop talking about useless things, what should we do now?" Chen Hua asked beside Li Yang.

Li Yang said in a calm tone: "Don't scatter. No matter how sneaky the opponent is, the lack of a frontal attack shows that their strength is limited. As long as we are united, with our strength, we will not be led by the opponent."

Chen Hua was about to respond, but she saw two faint green light spots suddenly appearing in the darkness in front of her.

These two groups of light spots flickered, as if they were a pair of ghostly eyes, staring at her.

"You're just sneaky, but you dare to make mistakes!" Chen Hua was unceremonious, and stabbed the dagger in his hand directly towards the middle of the two groups of faint green light spots!

The crisp sound of swords sounded in the dark and empty hall.

When Chen Hua drew her sword, a layer of light blue sword energy visibly emitted from the dagger in her hand!

"Zheng!"

The sword energy separated from the dagger and headed forward.

However, those two green light spots quietly disappeared the moment Chen Hua drew his sword.

The sword light disappeared into the darkness and hit something unknown. A series of shattering sounds came from not far away.

"Don't act rashly!" Li Yang quickly warned.

However, just as he opened his mouth, he saw two faint green light spots suddenly lighting up in the darkness in front of him.

Li Yang's subconscious reaction was, like Chen Hua, to strike first to gain advantage.

However, his mind was spinning rapidly, and even though he resisted the urge, he did not take action immediately.

He looked at the two green light spots, but his fingers tightened on the talisman, ready to throw it out at any time.

At this moment, Li Chang suddenly felt an oncoming dark wind.

This evil wind was so fierce that even the small copper bell in her hand was blown by the evil wind and made a crisp sound.

Since Li Chang did not recite the mantra to invite immortals to be possessed, even if the bell was blown, it would not cause her to be possessed.

However, the dark wind blowing in front of me seemed to have no intention of stopping, and it actually got stronger and stronger.

In just a moment, Li Chang felt a little overwhelmed and was even forced to narrow his eyes.

At the same time, Li Chang noticed that the people around her seemed not to feel the sinister wind at all.

She immediately realized that the evil wind might not exist, but was just an illusion created by sneaky evil beings.

But even if he guessed this possibility, Li Chang couldn't think of a way to solve it for a while.

Next to Li Chang, Chen Xing was on high alert, staring at the darkness in front of him.

He knew very well that according to what Li Yang said, the four of them only needed to take care of the area in front of them, and then support their companions within their capabilities. In this way, they could be regarded as an indestructible iron wall.

Chen Xing has a certain understanding of the strength of his four people.

So he understood that what Li Yang said before was correct. Sneaky and evil things in general could not threaten them at all, unless they messed up their positions.

Just when Chen Xing was thinking about how to break the current deadlock, he suddenly noticed that a tall figure appeared in the darkness outside the range of the flashlight in front of him...

Although he couldn't see any details of the figure, Chen Xing could recognize just by looking at its outline that it was the black plastic raincoat ghost that he had repelled many times before.

According to the clues they have so far, this ghost is a puppet directly controlled by the serial murderer.

The fact that this ghost appears here fully illustrates one thing, that is, Li Yang, or Lin Zhen's analysis is correct.

The murderer's next choice of crime location will most likely be the abandoned Lichun Hotel.

And now, the predicament they are facing is most likely the result of the murderer's handiwork.

Chen Xing didn't feel afraid at all, and was even a little excited.

After all, they have been chasing the murderer for a long time, and every time they just repel the ghost in front of them, they are unable to trace any clues left by the other party.

Chen Xing had long been a bit anxious and wanted to start a fight with the guy hiding behind the scenes in a big way to see whether the devil was one foot higher or the way higher.

However, the other party kept hiding so that he could not find any chance.

Today, Chen Xing has activated the ghost locking array arranged in Lichun Hotel.

He originally thought that the ghost controlled by the murderer would be blocked by the large formation, and there might be no chance of catching him again.

But they never thought that he had already sneaked in unnoticed and even planned to attack the four of them.

The corners of Chen Xing's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer.

It’s true that there is a way to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell so you can throw yourself into it.

At this moment, the formation has begun to take effect, and Chen Xing knows very well that even evil spirits with B-level strength cannot cross the boundary of the formation.

Chen Xing raised his sword finger with his left hand and brushed the mahogany sword blade in his right hand.

A bit of hazy golden light immediately emerged from between him and surrounded the peach wood sword.

His eyes were fixed on the figure in the darkness opposite, and at the same time, he lowered his voice and said to his other companions: "The ghost controlled by the murderer is nearby. Please be vigilant. The murderer may have other methods."

Chen Xing thought that at least Li Yang would say something, but after he finished speaking, the surroundings were completely silent, with no intention of anyone speaking.

Chen Xing's keen intuition made him realize that something was wrong.

However, he could only use the corner of his eye to look at Li Chang and Chen Hua beside him.

Although they were very close together, to Chen Xing, there seemed to be a strange and insurmountable distance.

Chen Xing immediately understood that this must be some kind of trick by the real culprit behind the scenes.

You can arrange a ghost-locking formation at Lichun Hotel, so why can't the other party arrange other formations.

Now the four of us are probably already in the formation set up by the opponent.

Chen Xing did not dare to look away from the figure in the darkness in front of him, because he had to be alert at all times, as the other person would suddenly rush out of the darkness and attack him.

After all, the light of the flashlight can only illuminate one meter in front of you.

With such a short distance, as long as you are not careful, you may give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of you.

Chen Xing stood there and did not move rashly.

Because he understood that not only himself, but other companions around him should also be affected by the opponent's formation at this moment.

If everyone chooses to stand still, their formation will not be damaged.

Once someone among them moves, their formation will disperse, giving the opponent a chance to defeat them one by one.

Chen Xing didn't move, and the figure in the darkness opposite him also didn't move.

The two sides are in a stalemate, and it seems that no one is planning to take the lead.

What Chen Xing didn't know was that the situation that others were facing at this moment was roughly the same as him.

In front of them, outside the range of the flashlight's light, either a tall figure appeared out of thin air, or there were more than one pair of green light spots, which seemed to be watching them...

Li Yang held the talisman in his hand and stared at the green light spots that were still increasing in the darkness in front of him, with a dull expression.

Like Chen Xing, he also saw some clues and guessed that everyone was trapped in a strange magic circle at this moment.
