Oops, I've become the puppy apprentice of my stupid master.

Song Zhili couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

No matter how brave he was, he was still a little afraid to jump in.

— (Master, don’t be afraid. In fact, it’s not as scary as you think. The key is that there are secrets at the bottom of the well. Only by going down there yourself can you discover them.)

(What secret? Tell me first, I'll see if I'm interested.)

— (Waiwai also just sensed it. I don’t know what the secret is, so the master needs to go down and check it out personally.)

(There should be no curse in the well, right?)

— (No more, Master, rest assured.)

With the system's words, Song Zhili felt a lot more at ease.

He turned to look at the man behind him and said, "Master, I need to jump down to find Chang Ying's body. Do you want to wait for me here, or go down with me?"

"Together, I...I want to go down with the puppy too!"

The other party seemed to be eager to jump.

Song Zhili couldn't help but hold his forehead when looking at him like this. What a fool, joining in every fun.

However, with his master accompanying him, he felt more at ease.

With the help of the jade bone fan, the two of them easily jumped to the bottom of the well.

There was no foul smell or deep well water inside as Song Zhili had imagined.

Instead, it was only when he got down that he realized that this well was actually an underground passage.

There was only a little light inside, and they had to rely on the help of lights if they wanted to see the things around them clearly.

Song Zhili rummaged in his sleeves, but after searching for a long time he couldn't find the fire starter he had placed there.

He frowned and picked up the little ball that was clinging to his clothes.

"Did you eat my tinder?"

Little Shuda growled innocently, "I'm sick for eating that stuff!"

"Then where are my things? Who else could it be but you?"

"The smell of the fire stick is too pungent and disturbs my sleep. I put it on Master's body for you."

At this time, Yu Qianlin handed a fire starter to him.

“Here…here!”

Xiao Shuda took the opportunity to jump on the other's shoulder. He yawned first, then raised his head and looked around.

"Where have we been? Why are there skeletons all over the ground?"

"Ah? Are they all skeletons?"

Hearing this, Song Zhili's body couldn't help but tremble.

He subconsciously pulled the arm of the person next to him, "Master, don't be afraid."

He was just about to raise the fire stick to light the thing, but before he could blow out any air, Yu Qianlin spoke directly.

"Puppy... you pulled the wrong person. I'm here."

Judging from the direction of the sound, his master should still be a little behind him, but who is standing next to him now? Holy shit!

He was so frightened that his hands trembled and the fire starter fell mercilessly to the ground.

The hand that was holding the other person's arm was pulled back almost immediately as a reflex.

Song Zhili swallowed carefully, thinking that there were bones all over the floor, so there must be more than one ghost named Chang Ying.

He didn't even have the courage to turn around and look at the other person.

Chang Ying is an exception in that he doesn't look scary, but that doesn't mean all ghosts look like him.

He quickly reached for the weapon on his waist, and then asked, "Who are you?"

"puff--"

The other party suddenly laughed.

"Brother Song, I thought you were very brave and not afraid of ghosts at all, but it turns out you are so scared!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Song Zhili finally dared to turn around.

Standing next to him was Chang Ying, dressed in a blood-red gown.

Seeing that it was a ghost he was familiar with, he finally relaxed his tense nerves and patted his chest soothingly.

"Why are you so elusive and without making a sound? I thought you were some evil ghost."

As he spoke, Yu Qianlin stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

He originally wanted to comfort the other person, but Song Zhili thought he was afraid.

He gently patted the other person's big hand and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, his name is Chang Ying, and he is a good ghost."

Yu Qianlin wanted to laugh, but the current situation did not allow him to do so.

He could only nod and said, "No... I'm not afraid. Whatever the puppy says... is what it is."

"Well, good."

Chang Ying looked at their interaction and asked curiously, "Brother Song, who is this?"

Song Zhili said: "He is my master, and he came with me this time."

Chang Ying said, "I thought that big brother was the one with you, why don't I see him today?"

"He and I are not of the same mind."

Ever since Chang Ying appeared, the things around them gradually became brighter.

But this was obviously not normal light.

Just as Xiao Shuda had said, the ground was covered with broken bones.

Song Zhili asked: "By the way, are you usually trapped here during the day?"

Chang Ying nodded: "Ghosts cannot be exposed to bright light. If it is serious, they will be reduced to ashes. Besides, I am usually trapped here with iron chains. If you hadn't helped me break the formation outside just now, I would not be able to get out now."

"What about your physical body?"

"My physical body is inside, please follow me."

Chang Ying walked into the passage first.

As soon as he left, the surrounding scenery returned to darkness again.

Song Zhili pulled Yu Qianlin and quickly followed behind him.

"This guy is so cold, he must be a fierce ghost, but why does he look so approachable?"

Xiao Shuda leaned over and whispered something in Song Zhili's ear.

Song Zhili replied: "People can be divided into good and bad, let alone ghosts."

They followed Chang Ying all the way to the innermost part of the passage.

The person in front said: "The picture may be a little uncomfortable, be prepared."

Song Zhili didn't know what kind of discomfort the other party was talking about, but all he could think of was scenes like skulls and bones.

If it's more serious, it's just rotten flesh at most.

But when they walked to Chang Ying's side, they realized what kind of discomfort she was talking about.

Chang Ying's body still remains in its original state, not rotten, nor a skeleton.

The most obvious change on his body was that he had a lot of corpse spots and there were no eyeballs in his eyes, just a bright red color.

The most terrifying thing is certainly not this, but the fact that the other person's body is still alive.

His limbs were tied with heavy iron chains, leaving him with very little range of motion.

As soon as the corpse saw living people coming, it immediately opened its mouth and wanted to rush towards them like crazy.

Song Zhili was so frightened by this scene that he quickly took a few steps back.

"Chang Ying, what's going on? Why is your body still alive?"

Chang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know whether I am dead or not. My soul and body are separated, but my body cannot die. Then I slowly became what I am now."
