Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

"woo woo woo woo--!"

While I was deep in thought, the shrill sobbing sound came from outside the door again!

Shen Qinyin's face changed, and alarm bells rang in her heart!

Damn, why so fast?!

According to his previous estimation, after the "green haze" is driven away by the holy tree, it will take at least 20 minutes for it to come back.

But in fact, from the time it was driven away to now, it has not exceeded 13 minutes at most!

Shen Qiyin did not dare to be careless. She picked up a jade pendant that she had prepared in advance and concentrated her mind.

Jade is often associated with supernatural powers and mysticism in religious beliefs and myths and legends. In traditional culture, it has also been regarded as a symbol of good luck, evil avoidance and protection.

Therefore, by using the jade pendant as an upgrade material and spending more desire stones, you can definitely upgrade to more powerful exorcism items.

[Do you want to spend 20 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Ordinary Jade Pendant" to the "Exorcism Jade"?]

【Yes! 】

With a thought, the ordinary jade pendant in Shen Qinyin's hand suddenly turned into a white jade stone with exquisite patterns and unique shape.

As if sensing the evil thoughts in the villa that were about to condense into a solid body, the white jade burst out with brilliant golden light the moment it appeared!

This golden light is far holier and warmer than the white light emitted by the burning holy wood.

The chill that permeated the body and penetrated the bone marrow quickly dissipated under the bath of golden light.

However, Shen Qinyin keenly discovered that even though she used the auspicious jade with exorcism patterns that was more powerful than the holy wood, the efficiency of driving away the "green haze" was not much faster than before!

This only means that the "Green Haze"'s offensiveness towards them this time has become extremely strong and vicious!

Shen Qinyin was very glad that she directly used the more powerful auspicious jade this time instead of using the holy wood as before.

Otherwise, they are very likely to become the victims of "Green Haze" in this round of offensive!

"Ugh——!"

A shrill cry suddenly rang out from the door!

A strong and terrifying aura surged through the door, even Shen Qinyin, who was protected by the auspicious jade behind the door, couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.

This scene gave Shen Qiyin a terrible premonition:

If there is no exorcism tool more powerful than the Auspicious Pattern Jade, I am afraid that the next time will be their death!

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds...

As the auspicious jade pattern gradually dimmed, the shrill crying outside the door finally died down.

Surviving the disaster did not bring Shen Qiyin any sense of relaxation. She glanced at the fragments of the core of fear that fell at the door and then set her gaze on Tang Miao.

The latter understood what she meant, quickly stepped forward, picked it up and handed it to her.

[Fear Core Fragment, Value: 25]

Sure enough, just as I expected, the fragments I obtained only barely covered my investment.

This basically means the death sentence for both of them.

Shen Qiyin had a premonition that the next time, the attack of "Green Haze" would be unprecedentedly powerful!

The previous few times could be seen as this entity testing them, but next time, it would probably use all its strength to decide the outcome in one round.

These entities will adjust their strength by testing the threat level of the enemy.

"..."

Shen Qinyin stroked her chin, and a crazy idea was born in her mind.

Maybe we can take advantage of this...

She turned her head and looked at Tang Miao.

Although the latter's face was extremely pale, she still managed to force a smile when she met Shen Qiyin's gaze, and said with a firm look:

"Whatever you're thinking of, just go for it! I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

"...Well, thank you."

Shen Qinyin smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and finalized the plan.

She stared into Tang Miao's eyes with a serious expression and spoke word by word: "Tang Miao, we are going out."

Tang Miao's pupils shrank, and a puzzled look appeared on his face: "Go out?"

“Yes, since the door can’t stop that thing at all, it doesn’t make any difference whether we can get out or not.

Besides, we have to go out to carry out my plan."

Since Shen Qiyin said so, Tang Miao naturally knew that now was not the time to be afraid.

She calmed herself down, mustered her courage, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Qiyin placed her finger on the model gun that Tang Miao had put together, and with a thought, she spent three desire stones to upgrade the model gun into the "Holy Spear to Destroy Evil".

"I remember you said that the instructors at the shelter taught you how to use guns, right?"

Tang Miao nodded quickly: "Yes."

Shen Qiyin handed over the Evil-Slaying Holy Spear and instructed, "There are 15 bullets in it. One will be automatically reloaded every minute. Aim carefully before shooting."

"I see."

Tang Miao suppressed his amazement and wanted to reach out to take it.

But at this moment, Shen Qinyin suddenly withdrew her slender hand and stared at the other person with her beautiful amber eyes.

Her dark pupils were like a cold pond, and her deep eyes were extremely sharp, as if she wanted to see through Tang Miao and her soul.

"Tang Miao, you are very aware of our current situation. I cannot guarantee that we can survive. If you want to escape, it's best to do so now."

"..."

Tang Miao pursed his lips, then sneered, saying gently but firmly, "Now that things have come to this, why are we still talking about this?

I don't want to experience the despair of last night again. I've prepared myself mentally. If I really can't escape this time, it would be nice to die with you."

"...die with me? Haha."

Shen Qiyin nodded slightly, smiled, and handed over the pistol again: "Then, are you willing to hand over the rest of your life to me?"

"If you say that, I'll blush..."

Tang Miao maintained a gentle smile and held the hand that Shen Qinyin handed over the gun.

And the moment their palms touched, the notebook in Shen Qiyin's mind suddenly turned to a brand new page -

[Soul Resonance Awakened: The Pope]

[Level: 1 star]

[Ability Acquired: Insight (Lv. 1)]

[Effect: Reveals the location of objects within a certain range, including entities, and reveals the status of weak monsters.]

Soul resonance?

Female Pope?

What is this...

Shen Qinyin frowned, thinking of the "Fool" that had appeared in the notebook before, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Arcana...Tarot cards?

Does it mean that awakening different soul resonances (Arcana) will give the notebook new abilities?

"Qiyin, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Miao's voice suddenly came, interrupting Shen Qinyin's thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about these problems. We must focus all our attention on dealing with the current desperate situation.

"Sorry, lost my mind."

Shen Qiyin put away her messy thoughts and said, "There's no time to lose. Let's go quickly. We have to get downstairs before that thing attacks again."

She pushed the joystick of the wheelchair and steered it forward.

But who would have thought that the wheelchair would suddenly stop after sliding forward half a meter.

The sudden inertia caused Shen Qinyin to unconsciously arch her back. She frowned and tentatively pushed the joystick again, but the wheelchair did not respond at all.

Noticing this, Tang Miao couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

"The desk lamp is working fine, and Xiaoxiang is charging normally, but my wheelchair is broken..."

Shen Qiyin's eyes dimmed, and her voice grew colder. "Obviously, that thing did it. Its intelligence is probably higher than we thought. It even knew that I had to rely on a wheelchair to move."

"I see. Destroying your wheelchair is like losing your ability to move. You're like a fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered."

"Heh, with its power, it can easily kill me no matter how fast I run. This is purely a psychological tactic... What are you doing?"

Before Shen Qiyin finished speaking, she suddenly noticed Tang Miao coming over and squatting in front of her.

The latter said without turning his head: "Of course I'll carry you. Are you planning to rock it by hand?"

"You can choose to help me push the wheelchair. Don't forget, we have to deal with not only the 'green haze', but also strange beasts.

How can you shoot with me on your back? How can you deal with them?"

"But what can you do if you don't do this? Do you think you can be a wheelchair superman?"

"I can take care of myself. Now is not the time to be indecisive. Just listen to me."

"..."

Tang Miao gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I will protect you, believe me."

"Ah."

Shen Qinyin gave her a smile and clenched the holy spear of exorcism in her hand.

As the door opened, a chilling breath, strong enough to penetrate the bone marrow, hit me in the face.

A cold wind blew through the corridor, weaving freely in the narrow corridor. The low humming sound full of evil thoughts was like the devil's grin, which was creepy.

The air was filled with a stale and decayed smell, mixed with a barely perceptible fishy sweetness. The floorboards creaked dully underfoot, and the silence that permeated the corridor was torn apart by the discordant sound, only to be swallowed up by the deeper darkness in an instant.

Shen Qinyin held up a flashlight, and the pure white beam of light struggled to carve out a path in the dim corridor. At the edge of the beam of light, shadows twisted and squirmed, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching in the dark.

She calmed down and concentrated her mind. A kind of perception that was difficult to describe in words began to spread out in all directions like a net, centered around her.

This feeling is very mysterious. Although there is thick darkness all around and her eyes cannot see anything, she can still clearly sense what things are and where they are.

There is no doubt that this should be the new capability provided by the notebook.

Shen Qiyin estimated that the range of insight was only about fifty meters in radius.

The range is not large, but it is enough for her as she only moves within the villa.

"I didn't hear any movement from the strange beast..."

Tang Miao lowered his voice and whispered while pushing the wheelchair, "Qiyin, what are you going to do?"

Shen Qiyin answered concisely: "Go to the elevator door and wait for 'it' to show up."

"Wait for 'it' to show up? Are you planning to confront that thing head-on?"

"A head-on confrontation isn't very accurate. Considering that thing possesses intelligence, I can't reveal too many specific details. I ask that you trust me."

"okay, I get it."

Although she was very uneasy in her heart, Tang Miao still maintained absolute trust in Shen Qinyin. She had made the decision to put her life and the rest of her life in Shen Qinyin's hands.

In this case, no matter what decision the other party makes, she will fully support it.

Only by mutual trust can we find a glimmer of hope in this desperate environment.

Chapter 22 The entities fight, and Qiyin wins!

Shen Qinyin's bedroom is not far from the elevator in the lobby. She just needs to cross the corridor and take the barrier-free elevator at the spiral staircase to the first floor.

The sounds of the elevator doors opening and closing, and the cables operating, were particularly clear in the silence of the night.
