The ghost girl's expression suddenly darkened, and she stared at Qin Meng with eyes full of hatred. The next moment, she gathered all the hatred in her body, transformed into a tall blood shadow and rushed straight towards him...

Most of the time, evil spirits hurt people by using their own resentment to harm the other person's mental power, causing trauma to the soul.

The evil spirit before them was a considerable threat to ordinary mortals or cultivators with low cultivation, but to Pei Yun and his party, it was like a gnat trying to shake a tree and was overestimating their own capabilities.

Qin Meng just raised his hand casually, and as soon as his spiritual power was released, the female ghost was imprisoned in mid-air, unable to move.

"Who is helping you? This tape is just an ordinary object. Even if it is injected with a trace of time and space power, your soul cannot be stored in it. I am very curious about how the person behind you did it..."

The female ghost did not answer. She struggled desperately in panic. She could feel her resentment being purified bit by bit. Without the protection of resentment, what awaited her was annihilation.

"God! Lord God! Please come and save your believers..." The female ghost knelt on the ground and cried, muttering to herself.

After hearing what she said, Pei Yun and the others looked at her in surprise and were very interested in the "Lord God" she mentioned.

"Ahhhh!" As the soul gradually turned into black smoke and dissipated in the air, the female ghost screamed in pain with a look of madness.

Unfortunately, this "Lord God" did not show up until the ghost girl's soul was completely destroyed.

The illusion around them began to collapse bit by bit, and they returned to reality...

In the screening room, the mortals who were in the same room with them were all sitting in their original seats, but they had suffered some mental trauma and were now sleeping.

The movie "Zootopia" was playing on the screen. Qin Meng handed the tape to Pei Yun. Suddenly, he saw a statue under a seat below him: "Look! What is that?"

As he spoke, he drew in his spiritual power and took the wooden sculpture in his hand. Everyone gathered around him to examine it.

This small statue is actually made of soul wood. It is about two fingers long and looks like neither a human nor a demon. This thing must be related to the "main god" mentioned by the female ghost just now. Now that the female ghost's soul has dissipated, the wooden sculpture has also split into two halves.

"...Willpower?! I feel that this statue contains the willpower of countless people... I see, no wonder! I was wondering why that female ghost could inhabit an ordinary mortal object, it turns out that she relied on willpower..."

Qin Meng smiled suddenly. Of course, the wood carving had cracked and his willpower was rapidly dissipating.

"Power of will? Senior, are you saying that this thing embodies the power of faith of countless people?" Pei Yun asked curiously.

"That's right! So there must be a living person cooperating with the female ghost to set up this trap. He brought this statue and the tape to the screening room, which allowed us to enter the illusion..."

Feng Yi looked around and spread his hands, saying, "It seems that the man has left. Except for us, everyone else in this theater is an ordinary mortal."

"Then, senior, what do you think is the purpose of this person setting up this trap?" Luo Rufeng asked.

"It should be to collect souls. Let the female ghost kill these people, and then use this wood sculpture to collect souls. This statue is made of soul wood. It can not only gather the power of faith of the living, but also collect the souls of the dead..."

Qin Meng's smile faded slightly. "I will give this statue to the Special Management Bureau. They should know something about the situation. The other party used such a special method and also knew the formation. I'm sure he must have committed many crimes..."

The others nodded in agreement. As Pei Yun's soul power continued to increase, her practice of mind-controlling techniques became more and more perfect.

After she soothed the traumatized souls of these sleepy mortals, she watched the half-finished movie with Xiaobai and the others, as if nothing had happened.

"What happened? Why did I fall asleep just now..."

"I feel so dizzy!"

"This movie is so terrible! It's the first time I fell asleep while watching a movie..."

The mortals in the screening room had their memories tampered with by Pei Yun's mind-controlling magic. They thought they fell asleep just because the movie was boring, and some people even got up and left.

After watching the movie and having dinner, they grabbed a lot of stuffed toys from the claw machine before walking out of the mall.

At this time, the outside was already full of people, and the road became congested. Pei Yun and his companions did not want to go back, so they followed the crowd and walked towards the river...

Later on, under Qin Meng's deliberate actions, Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng gradually distanced themselves from the other three...

"...Master!" Xiaobai, who was holding a plush bear in both hands, saw Pei Yun walking in front and getting farther and farther away from him. He pursed his lips and frowned his little face and called out aggrievedly.

When the people around heard this, they looked over in surprise, and the way they looked at Qin Meng was almost like they were looking at a human trafficker.

Qin Meng quickly picked up Xiao Bai and said to her in a soothing tone, "Be good and listen to me. I'll buy you some milk tea later!"

"I want one too!" Feng Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately interrupted.

"You are indispensable!" Qin Meng sent a voice message to the two of them, "Today is specially arranged for Xiao Luo by me, just to create a romantic opportunity for Pei Yun and Xiao Luo. You two should not hold back at this time..."

On the other side, Pei Yun slowed down when he saw that the three people had not caught up with him, but the next moment, the person next to him held his hand.

She lowered her head and glanced at the two people's clasped hands in astonishment. She felt the warmth in the other's palms, and her heart was throbbing quietly. A sweet feeling spread from her chest. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her mood became inexplicably light...

Nearing twelve o'clock, Pei Yun and his companion arrived at the riverside. They were surrounded by strangers who came to greet the New Year. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and such a lively and cheerful atmosphere also inspired them.

The building across the street has already started its light show: "Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!"

At midnight, fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the night sky, and also in Pei Yun's heart...

She turned her head and looked at Luo Rufeng beside her. As if they had telepathic connection, Luo Rufeng also looked at her almost at the same time. The two figures collided into each other's eyes. At this moment, the brilliant fireworks were not as bright as the brilliance in their eyes...

Gradually, under the illumination of the fireworks, both of them had smiles in their eyes...

"Pei Yun, are you willing to become my Taoist partner? We will accompany each other for life and never leave each other. Heaven will be my witness!" Luo Rufeng blocked out the voices of the people around him and expressed his feelings seriously, word by word.

Pei Yun smiled brightly. For the first time, she took the initiative to hold Luo Rufeng's hand and said firmly: "I will accompany you for the rest of my life. I will never leave you. God will bear witness to this!"

Gazing at Luo Rufeng, who has been by her side since her rebirth, protecting her, comforting her and supporting her, Pei Yun's heart is no longer hesitant or confused at this moment. All the grievances from her previous life have long since disappeared.

What she pursues now is to protect the people of the world together with the one she loves, hoping that one day she will be able to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven...
