Chapter 466: The Guest of Room 6! The Spirit Tablet of Beloved Daughter Liu Jun! Purely Resilient!
The blood-moon-shrouded town operated under a strange, oppressive set of rules. Daoist arts and martial skills were rendered useless here, reducing everyone to mere ordinary humans.
With danger lurking everywhere and eerie phenomena at every corner, most people in such a situation would never take risks, much less attempt a rescue. Self-preservation would be the only rational choice.
And this inn was clearly far more dangerous than the funeral goods shop. That hulking butcher ghost was vicious and brutal, wielding a bone-cleaver that was both fast and heavy, which was already difficult enough to deal with. The second floor would surely harbor even more terrifying things.
Going up there to save someone, and someone he had only met once, was an extremely unwise choice. Borderline saintly, even.
But after a moment of brief contemplation, Li Yanchu still chose to go.
“A fierce tiger sees no ditches, while a coward sees obstacles everywhere...” he muttered to himself.
To hell with it, charge!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The three of them hurried upstairs. Though Zhang Wei and Liu Jun were dragging the pace a bit, anyone who had seen a horror movie knew that if the two stayed downstairs, they’d be very likely to disappear mysteriously, be killed by some unknown abomination, and leave behind nothing but a corpse and a vague, useless clue.
Li Yanchu figured that if they had to die, better they die in front of him.
He gripped the blood-stained bone-cleaver[1] taken from the butcher ghost. The sharp angles of his face were hardened with a fierce, dangerous expression. His once-clean Daoist robe was now soaked with blotches of blood, and in this inn, he looked more like a vicious ghost than the actual ghosts.
“What kind of ghost is in Room 6?” Li Yanchu asked.
