A couple’s love, a benchmark for the Ghost Gate.

    A couple’s love, a benchmark for the Ghost Gate.

    Lin Qichi was always bound, his hands tied behind his back. It had been so long that they were numb.

    Qi Feiyu came from time to time, but his whereabouts were unknown for the rest of the time.

    However, Lin Qichi could guess where he went.

    The Heavenly Master Association’s plan had already begun, perhaps for a temporary belief, or perhaps for long-term stability and self-preservation.

    In recent years, ghost incidents have occurred frequently, and it was noticed that it was a problem with the Ghost Gate, it was only a matter of time.

    The Wen Ren family head was nowhere to be found when the Yin energy was heavy all year round, and it was not uncommon. The same was true in other families with a little background.

    Every time Qi Feiyu came back, the Yin energy on his body would deepen by one point, and the Yin energy stained on Lin Qichi’s body also became more and more intense.

    Lin Qichi seemed to feel something and grabbed Qi Feiyu, who was about to leave. His eyes had already lost focus, and all his movements could only rely on intuition.

    “Come back early.”

    Qi Feiyu grabbed Lin Qichi’s hair and lifted him up, bringing him closer to look at his absent-minded eyes.

    Eyes without the slightest emotion were much more pleasing to the eye than his usual appearance.

    The Heavenly Master Association was making bigger and bigger moves, and of course he knew where the problem was, but unfortunately, he discovered it too late to let them jump to the present.

    Lin Qichi always felt a familiar stinging pain in his eyes for a moment, and the blurry scene in front of him disappeared again, leaving only a vast expanse of white illusion.

    For some reason, Qi Feiyu hated his eyes.

    But he liked Qi Feiyu’s beautiful red eyes very much.

    Today, he should also be going to distribute the location of the Ghost Gate’s opening.

    Apart from the Ye family and One Chi Alley, where might the last positioning point be?

    Qi Feiyu kissed his hollow eyes, tore off the corner of his clothes that he had grabbed, and re-tied him with the chains.

    “Don’t break it, it hurts.” Lin Qichi’s voice was terribly hoarse, and he didn’t know what kind of torment he had suffered.

    Qi Feiyu didn’t say a word. He should already know Lin Qichi’s purpose now.

    A bait abandoned by the Heavenly Master Association.

    Qi Feiyu first let go of Lin Qichi, but found it difficult to do so. Just imagining being separated from him made his heart feel like it was being tightly clenched.

    His gaze, without a trace of lust, was more ferocious than any weapon.

    Qi Feiyu gently helped Lin Qichi lie down, and the layers of bed curtains were lowered, blocking the Yin energy from the outside, making Lin Qichi feel a little better.

    Qi Feiyu’s cool lips lightly touched Lin Qichi’s pale cheek, and his voice was filled with forbearance and pain: “A farewell kiss.”

    Qi Feiyu left, this time without tying his hands again.

    But it wouldn’t change anything. The extent of the Yin energy invading his body had reached an incurable point. Even if he was left alone, he wouldn’t live long.

    Lin Qichi couldn’t muster any temper and faintly counted the time. His eyes were completely ruined by Qi Feiyu. He couldn’t see anything, and could only occasionally see the edges of some scenes weakly.

    Even so, Qi Feiyu refused to let him go.

    It seemed he was really angry.

    Lin Qichi propped himself up, his whole body aching like it didn’t belong to him, especially his throat, which was particularly painful.

    The marks on his body had been cleaned up by Qi Feiyu. He couldn’t see anything, so he could only rely on a little bit of groping.

    Seriously, both sides were quite uneasy.

    It would be difficult to deal with if something happened to either side.

    Lin Qichi groped for the feather on the bedside, which Qi Feiyu had deliberately left there to continue testing him.

    Lin Qichi picked up the feather and thought of the steel needle still deeply embedded in Qi Feiyu’s body.

    Most of the restrictions on his body had already been lifted, so he should be able to sense it.

    The hard golden feather was steadily raised by Lin Qichi, accurately placed close to the position of his side jaw, and used to forcefully cut a small piece of skin behind his ear.

    A small, bloodstained lump fell from the wound. As soon as it fell onto the brocade quilt, the blood was absorbed by the quilt, revealing its original metallic luster.

    Lin Qichi groped and picked up the bloodstained lump. Even though he couldn’t see it, he could feel that this thing was emitting heat outwards.

    It seemed tonight was a full moon night.

    Qi Feiyu wouldn’t be back again.

    The small metal lump was held in Lin Qichi’s hand. The gap behind his ear was very small, but it was still dripping blood. It should be because his body had been assimilated by Yin energy.

    Although the wound was very deep, Lin Qichi was absolutely sure, based on his many years of experience, that he hadn’t cut a slightly larger blood vessel.

    Moreover, Annihilation Feathers only injure ghosts, not living things.

    His body was now being watered by Qi Feiyu every day, and Yin energy entered his body from various entrances. Even though he was still alive, his aura had changed.

    Calculating the time, it was already the best time for the Ghost Gate to open. Qi Feiyu would definitely not miss this opportunity.

    The last positioning point might be the location where he finally appeared.

    In the original world line, there was no specific mention of the last location point.

    It only said that when the full moon hung high, the Ghost Gate opened wide, and the Demon King’s image appeared in the Heavenly Master Association’s encirclement team, but his true form was unknown.

    He could only rely on gambling now. He originally thought that by holding Qi Feiyu back, he could free him from the Ghost Gate incident.

    The family head had vaguely guessed when Lin Qichi’s body showed signs of problems.

    Ghosts have no heart and are even more ruthless. In fact, all of this was a large-scale annihilation led by the Wen Ren family.

    Wen Ren Shu didn’t want to get involved in these strange and chaotic things, so he made a public coming out scandal to try to escape.

    It was just unclear whether Chen Yan and he were acting or if it was real.

    Lin Qichi struggled to sit up from the bed. Qi Feiyu hadn’t left him any clothes, which was really a headache.

    Where did a ghost get such a big addiction?

    Lin Qichi couldn’t see, which was really unexpected, and there was no way to alleviate it. He relied entirely on his intuition and the guidance of the metal lump in his hand to walk along the way.

    This small piece of metal was the only thing connecting him to the outside world.

    It was connected to the location of the Wen Ren family head, allowing him to slightly sense some of the situation outside.

    In the direction where they were close, the metal lump would heat up instantly, guiding the direction; in the opposite direction, it would cool down rapidly.

    When Lin Qichi could still see, he observed this place when Qi Feiyu wasn’t around. It didn’t look like a place for living people to live, although it was brightly lit, day and night were the same.

    But in terms of architectural specifications, this place was more like a tomb.

    Where did Qi Feiyu put his previous clothes?

    Lin Qichi groped little by little for the possible location, and once again regretted abandoning his clothes because he didn’t have any sense of shame towards Qi Feiyu and seemed to be trying to save trouble.

    In the end, Lin Qichi still found them, avoiding the embarrassment of leaving here completely naked in the realistic version.

    At the critical moment, it was still the Wen Ren family’s talismans that helped. The metal lump sensed a familiar aura, and because the distance was closer, the heating was more obvious in the direction near the clothes.

    Lin Qichi felt much better after putting on his clothes. Qi Feiyu had completely given up his control over him.

    There was nothing but a small amount of Yin energy in the tomb.

    Although Lin Qichi couldn’t see, every inch of his clothes was covered with talismans. Following the direction of the metal lump, he boldly walked where there was a road, and tore talismans to open the road where there wasn’t one.

    The area of the tomb was very large. Lin Qichi felt that he should have walked out of a door. The lump in his hand became increasingly hot. Lin Qichi thought of the car he had parked near One Chi Alley.

    As long as he found the car, some things would be easy to solve.

    The feeling of emptiness in front of him was very bad, but fortunately Lin Qichi had experience, so walking straight wasn’t too difficult.

    But it would be very difficult for him to blindly find the positioning point that was several kilometers away.

    The moon in the sky was full, and many people were praying to it to entrust their happiness and reunion, but the people of the Heavenly Master Association all regarded it as a formidable enemy.

    In recent years, ghost activities have become more and more rampant. The change from a few people’s suspicions about Yin energy leaks to the commonly recognized truth wasn’t slow.

    Everyone was guessing when the night the Ghost Gate would open would arrive.

    The underground of all places where large-scale ghost appearances had occurred were being closely guarded by large numbers of people.

    One Chi Alley was even more heavily guarded.

    Familiar people were responsible for familiar places. Everyone who charged forward was someone who had tried One Chi Alley.

    The time when the Ghost Gate was slack had specific rules. All Heavenly Master Association members were guarding their nearby or familiar places on this day.

    This had become a customary habit for them.

    Even if everything was peaceful, they would still go as usual.

    In the Wen Ren mansion, only Wen Ren Shu and Chen Yan were left, guarding the yard of the Wen Ren family’s next head.

    No one thought that there would be a chance to restart here. Even the Wen Ren family head was very relieved about this place and went to the location he had always guarded.

    Wen Ren Shu was fiddling with the cups on the table, his expression faint, completely different from the way he usually showed himself. “Do you think he will come here?”

    Chen Yan was unwilling to participate in those strange and chaotic things and resisted them from the bottom of his heart. Every time he talked about these issues, he turned his face away and ignored them.

    “I think he will definitely choose this place.” Wen Ren Shu said firmly, forcefully pouring the cup filled with water upside down on the table.

    In the center of the table, three incense sticks were inserted upside down. It was unknown how they were lit, and most of the incense sticks had already been burned.

    “Then you still dare to stay here.” Chen Yan looked at him like he was crazy. Although he had long realized that Wen Ren Shu was crazy, he didn’t expect him to be crazy to this point.

    “This is the Wen Ren mansion. If he dares to come, we will let him come and never return.” Wen Ren Shu gently covered the back of Chen Yan’s hand, and his eyes showed a rare tenderness. “Don’t be afraid.”

    Chen Yan held his hand back. It was icy cold in the night, but his tone was not small at all. He really didn’t know where he got his confidence every time.

    “I’m not afraid. Aren’t you worried about your brother?” Chen Yan led the conversation to Lin Qichi. He had disappeared for a long time now, and his life and death were unknown.

    They had agreed to get married, but the family head directly waved his hand and arranged a double ghost marriage. It didn’t seem like he was still alive.

    Wen Ren Shu couldn’t say much about the family head’s plan. Although he had guesses, the family head didn’t explicitly tell him.

    This matter was something that couldn’t be said.

    But he really couldn’t bear Chen Yan’s appearance, so he could only tell him euphemistically: “He is still alive.”
