That which Qin Yong said was true. Every item in this room represented a wronged soul.

Lin Zhao had been using her pupil technique since she entered the room, but she hadn't seen any ghosts wandering around. She even suspected that the room had been sealed off in another dimension by some kind of force.

A space that could suppress warlocks and allow ghosts to dominate.

Lin Zhao, who didn't dare to sleep, hugged her quilt and stared intently at Ye Yang on the bed.

Before long, she saw a human-shaped bulge rising from Ye Yang's quilt, as if someone had suddenly lain down next to him.

Just as Lin Zhao was about to get up, she heard a strange "zzzt" sound from behind the sofa, like someone scratching the back of it.

Lin Zhao then realized that the sofa was not positioned correctly!

In European-style interior design, sofas can be placed directly in the middle of the living room, without being against a wall. But according to domestic feng shui, sofas must be against a wall.

Against the wall means: "Having a mountain to lean on for support." Otherwise, it will affect the householder's fortune, making them feel insecure.

The sofa at number forty-four was placed in the middle of the living room, so hiding someone behind it wouldn't be a problem.

Lin Zhao was shocked, and then she saw the quilt on the bed slowly being pulled over Ye Yang's head, covering his face.

Sleeping with a ghost is already extremely dangerous. If the ghost then pulls the quilt over the person's head, the next day there will be a corpse on the bed who had been smothered to death.

However, Ye Yang on the bed didn't react at all!

Just as Lin Zhao was about to take action, she felt the sofa tremble slightly. When she turned her head, the back of the sofa had been pressed down.

It was as if someone was standing behind the sofa, pressing down on the backrest on both sides of Lin Zhao, looking down at the top of her head.

Lin Zhao could even feel gusts of cold wind, like someone breathing, blowing through her hair.

As Lin Zhao's body instinctively tensed, her shoulders suddenly felt heavy—someone had put their hands on her shoulders.

Lin Zhao's shoulders shook instantly, and she lunged forward.

She had sprung two meters away, but left her clothes in place.

A clean and efficient "golden cicada shedding its shell."

But when she looked back, she was slightly startled.

Lin Zhao saw someone wearing her clothes sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a sneer.

The other person's face was gradually turning into Lin Zhao's.

A doppelganger!

The legend of ghosts and monsters looking for a doppelganger has been around for a long time. The most common is "bringing in the clothes before dark."

There is a saying among the people that clothes drying in the yard must be brought back before dark and cannot be left outside overnight.

Clothes left outside are likely to attract wandering souls who lack clothes.

Those ghosts can't take away clothes that haven't been burned, but they can crawl into the clothes to keep warm. People with clear vision can see shadows hanging on the clothesline, which means a ghost has crawled into the clothes.

Clothes that have been crawled into by a ghost will definitely be tainted with yin energy. If a person wears them again, they will at least have a serious illness.

Encountering wandering souls is a minor matter. If you encounter a powerful ghost, it can use the human qi on the clothes to turn into the owner of the clothes.

When it comes over and knocks on the door wearing those clothes, and the family members open the door in a daze, letting the ghost in, the original owner of the clothes becomes the ghost's doppelganger.

The family can still see the other person active in the house, but they can't see their own relative's ghost hiding in the corner and crying.

Lin Zhao's golden cicada shedding its shell happened to leave the clothes to that ghost.

It was also turning into Lin Zhao's appearance.

Lin Zhao only stood still for a moment before launching the Thirteen Absolute Hands, dozens of claw winds slashing towards the sofa like steel knives.

The clothes, along with the sofa, were torn to pieces by the violent force at the same time, but the figure was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Zhao immediately gasped.

If that person was a ghost, even if it didn't explode into phosphorus fire under Lin Zhao's claws, it would have left some other traces.

However, the other person disappeared instantly, which meant that Lin Zhao hadn't touched them at all.

As Lin Zhao cautiously approached the sofa, she suddenly felt movement behind her. When she glanced back, the first thing she saw was Ye Yang's toe.

Whether you are a warlock or a martial artist,

the first reaction upon discovering an enemy behind you is not to turn around immediately. Doing so would be equivalent to exposing all your flaws to the opponent, putting you at a disadvantage before the fight even begins.

The best way is to figure out the other person's intentions before deciding how to strike!

If you really want to see the other person's location, you shouldn't turn around completely. It's best to turn your head slightly and look down to see the other person's feet, in order to determine their position.

Lin Zhao's reaction was correct, but what she saw made her hair stand on end.

The shoes were indeed Ye Yang's shoes.

However, the toes of the shoes were not touching the ground.

From Lin Zhao's perspective, the person was floating about three inches off the ground.

This was a ghost!

Lin Zhao felt a chill run down her spine!

She had clearly seen the ghost covering Ye Yang with the quilt just now. Could it be that Ye Yang had already become a ghost?
