Zhang Xiaoli said indignantly, "This isn't just a free meal, is it?"
Qin Shilei smiled and said, "Just a plate of appetizers and a bowl of soup, don't mind it."
An Qian pointed at the rolling thick fog in the distance and asked, "Why is there such a sudden dense fog?"
The fog came in violently, and in a moment it reached the front of the house, then spread inside.
Under the cover of the dense fog, Qin Shilei couldn't even see the two women opposite him clearly.
A ball of red flame rose from An Qian's hand, illuminating the entire hall.
"That's strange, the power of my ability flame seems to have doubled."
After Qin Shilei took out the desk lamp to illuminate, An Qian flicked her right hand, and the flame flew towards the chairs in the hall.
"Bang!"
The chair instantly caught fire.
The power had indeed increased significantly.
A ball of flickering lightning also appeared in Qin Shilei's hand. He flicked it outwards, hitting a fruit tree in the courtyard about the size of a bowl in diameter.
The fruit tree was broken in one blow, and a small flame also emerged from the break.
Qin Shilei was a little worried. "The enhancement of our abilities, I wonder if it's due to this dense fog or the environmental changes on the entire Blue Star?"
Zhang Xiaoli served the last dish and said, "Stop thinking about it, let's eat first."
An Qian added, "Accept what comes and be at peace. Only when we are full can we better deal with future crises."
Qin Shilei nodded in agreement and began a sumptuous dinner with the two women.
Night fell.
The dense fog not only did not dissipate, but became even thicker.
Even with a powerful flashlight, one could only vaguely see ten meters ahead.
"Wuwuwu."
Suddenly, strange wailing sounds came from outside the villa.
"Could it be ghosts?"
Zhang Xiaoli unconsciously leaned closer to Qin Shilei.
An Qian, trying to appear calm, said, "How can there be ghosts in this world?"
But as soon as she said it, she shifted her position to the left, sitting to Qin Shilei's right.
"Here, have a drink."
Qin Shilei took out three bottles of ice-cold "happy fat water" (soda), opened them, and handed them to the two women, saying calmly, "This should be the sound of the strong wind blowing through the trees. Don't scare yourselves."
Leaning against Qin Shilei and taking a few sips of the icy soda, the two women felt a little of their unease dissipate.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past the balcony.
An Qian, who had just witnessed this, quickly turned on her powerful flashlight and shone it outside the balcony, "What was that?"
"What's there?"
Zhang Xiaoli looked up along with the light.
The dark shadow floated past the front of the balcony again.
"Ah!"
An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli screamed at the same time, each tightly grabbing one of Qin Shilei's arms.
Both of them had clearly seen the spectral figure just now.
It was a figure dressed in black, with bleeding orifices and a pale face.
The figure floated past the balcony with its feet off the ground, slowly turned, and gave them a charming smile.
"You wait here for me, I'll go to the balcony to take a look."
Qin Shilei tried to pull his hands away but touched two soft spots, making his heart tremble.
"No, we'll go with you."
An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli said in unison.
The sensation from his moving arms made Qin Shilei's heart waver.
He went to the balcony and turned on the strong flashlight, scanning the surroundings.
Only dense fog, nothing else.
"Give me back my life."
Suddenly, a sinister voice came from behind them.
Turning around, they saw an old woman in a black long dress walking slowly towards them with her hands outstretched.
The old woman's messy hair covered half of her face, and her occasionally visible eyes had only whites and no pupils.
"Ghost!"
The two women screamed and scrambled to hide behind Qin Shilei.
"Sisters, you're stepping on me." Suddenly, a child's voice rose from under An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli's feet.
They looked down and saw that they were stepping on the faces of a three-year-old child.
The child had large dark circles under his eyes, and his entire head was pressed into the floor by An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli.
"Heh heh!"
After the two women pulled Qin Shilei to the side, the child raised his head and grinned sinisterly.
"Get out of my house quickly." A woman with bleeding orifices appeared in the hall again.
"Brother Qin, let's run quickly." Zhang Xiaoli's hand holding Qin Shilei's arm trembled incessantly.
"Qin Shilei, this is a haunted house, let's run!" An Qian's voice also trembled slightly.
Qin Shilei suddenly remembered the middle-aged man who had asked for appetizers, "Don't go out after dark."
A thought flashed through his mind, and a bolt of lightning appeared in his right hand.
"Heh heh!"
Seeing the lightning, the ghosts were not afraid, but instead began to grin sinisterly.
As they grinned, the old woman's eye suddenly fell out, and the woman's entire face lost its features, becoming blank.
Qin Shilei flicked his hand, and the lightning struck the old woman.
With a *squeak*, the old woman shattered like foam and disappeared.
"You dare! Give me your lives."
The woman and the child floated over quickly.
Qin Shilei unleashed two bolts of lightning, easily destroying them.
"These ghosts are very weak, they shattered when I hit them with lightning. An Qian, your flames should also be able to destroy these spirits."
Qin Shilei calmly reassured the two women.
An Qian raised a ball of flame in her right hand, as if to encourage herself.
Zhang Xiaoli had no special abilities and could only move closer to Qin Shilei.
"Another one is coming."
Zhang Xiaoli suddenly pointed to the outside of the balcony and shouted.
An Qian waved her hand, and the ball of flame swiftly shot towards the dark figure outside the balcony.
In an instant, the dark figure was burned away.
"This is really strange. These spirits are not only not afraid of my lightning, but they also seem fearless of death and come to die."
Qin Shilei said with a frown.
Ghosts should naturally fear the power of lightning.
Although the female ghost was easily killed by lightning just now, she seemed to have no fear.
Then, several more ghosts floated over, and were easily killed by Qin Shilei and An Qian.
Seeing how pitifully weak these ghosts were, the two women were no longer as timid, but they still refused to let go of Qin Shilei's arms.
Half an hour later.
"Why do these spirits seem endless?"
An Qian's flame had shrunk to the size of a candle flame.
Her head also began to ache faintly, clearly a result of severe mental exertion.
Qin Shilei's condition was relatively better, but he was also a little dispirited.
"How about we ignore these ghosts? They can't hurt us anyway," Qin Shilei suggested.
"It's just that they are creepy to look at," Zhang Xiaoli said, her voice trembling slightly as she looked at the two disgusting ghosts that had surrounded them again.
Qin Shilei pulled the two women to sit on the sofa, ignoring the two ghosts that kept transforming into various frightening shapes.
"Wuwuwu!"
The strange wailing outside the house grew louder. The two ghosts seemed to have received some information, turned, and floated outside.
The ancient locust tree at the east of the village, which blocked out the sun, swayed its branches in the fierce wind, emitting bursts of strange noises.
A human face slowly emerged from the trunk of the tree.
"Soon, I will be able to walk outside the tree trunk."
"Go and find me more flesh and blood."
Countless spectral figures flew out from the tree trunk and sped towards the surroundings of the village.
"Why have so many of my spirits disappeared?" the human face said with some doubt.
At this moment, the two ghosts that had been at Qin Shilei's place floated back and merged directly into the ancient locust tree.
The human face roared angrily, "How dare you kill my spirits? I'll see what kind of ability you have."
Then, a more solidified ghost floated out from the tree trunk and then rapidly flew towards Qin Shilei's location.
