Chapter 61: Cry
After searching around, Yun Qin found something else.
That pile of things moving around in the corner was…
When Yun Qin walked over, she saw that hiding behind a disguise were a black ball of fur and a few small stones.
Yun Qin was pleasantly surprised. She picked up the hidden ghost and said, “There you are!”
The hidden ghost had tears in its eyes. It seemed that it was frightened by what happened and could not utter a complete word.
Yun Qin suddenly realized that she could not detect the hidden ghost because it activated its hiding ability and created a vacuum in its immediate surrounding. Not only Yun Qin, but the other evil ghost also did not discover the hidden ghost. Thus, it was able to escape.
Not only that, but the hidden ghost also protected the family of zombies worms that turned into stone.
Seeing the pitiful look on the hidden ghost, Yun Qin rubbed its head and comforted it, “It’s okay, it’s okay. They won’t come out again.”
However, just as Yun Qin finished saying this, she detected another wave of evil energy not too far away.
More little ghosts were hiding?
Yun Qin and the hidden ghost turned their heads to look. Two grass-green-furballs were staring at her and the hidden ghost.
“Whoa!”
The hidden ghost immediately struggled out of Yun Qin’s arms and ran to the two grass-green furballs. When it was about two meters away, it did not dare move any closer.
The two grass-green furballs shook a few times, and then the black-fur hidden ghost also jumped a few times. Then, all six small eyes looked at Yun Qin.
Only then did Yun Qin recognize that these two were also hidden ghosts.
After looking at the black-fur hidden ghost for so long, she forgot that hidden ghosts generally had earth-brown or green fur.
Once the three of them confirmed their identities, the hidden ghost finally relaxed. It approached the two green-fur hidden ghosts and bounced around as if it was extremely happy.
Not wanting to disrupt the warm scene of the hidden ghosts welcoming their newest member, Yun Qin smiled at the little black furball and then quietly searched for the blue bead in the cave.
This blue bead did not have any legs, so there was no way it could just run away, right?
However, she could not rule out the possibility that the blue bead absorbed so much evil energy over the years that it gained consciousness and then escaped.
But this was too ridiculous.
After confirming there were no energy fluctuations to indicate that the blue bead was still in the cave, Yun Qin restored the stone coffin to its original state.
Before closing the coffin lid, she took one last look at the remaining ashes in the coffin as a final farewell to the person in the coffin.
Because of him, Yun Qin realized she was not the only one Hades sent on this mission. It was also because of this person’s memories that Yun Qin could get a glimpse of the truth.
It seemed that Hades hid a lot of information that he did not tell her.
After closing the coffin lid again, Yun Qin took off the jade pendant from the bottom of the mechanism.
Looking at the warm jade in her palm, Yun Qin felt that she was involved in a huge conspiracy.
First, why was this man, who had the same abilities as her, trapped in the coffin? Moreover, he created a blue bead that could lure ghosts and set up traps to absorb evil energy.
Next was the restriction spell placed on the coffin. Usually, a restriction spell would be activated once ghosts touch it. However, at certain times, such as just now, the restriction spell would be removed. So much time had passed, so Yun Qin could not tell who placed this restriction spell in the first place. Moreover, there seemed to be a hidden array in the cave to help the blue bead.
However, even if there was a restriction spell, the blue bead was still particularly attractive to ghosts.
There were also wooden boats that would appear regularly on the underground river. Each boat had a skeleton. Although she did not know its function, it was very eerie and terrifying.
Yun Qin was slightly relieved now that the blue bead was no longer in the cave so it would not cause any more trouble.
Seeing that the black furball brought the two green furballs over, Yun Qin asked, “How did these two little guys get here?”
However, the native green-fur hidden ghosts did not know how to speak, so she could only rely on the black-fur hidden ghost’s intermittent descriptions to learn the truth.
It turned out that the blue bead in the cave would forcefully suck in the surrounding ghosts every once in a while. Hidden ghosts lived in this area for many years and their elders instructed them from a young age never to step foot into the restricted area of the valley.
These two little fellows were purely playful and ran into the area that the blue bead controlled. Since nothing happened the first few times they stepped into the restricted area, they let down their guard.
They did not expect to be sucked in this time. Fortunately, they had abilities to protect themselves.
As for other things, the two hidden ghosts, who were still underage, did not know. They had to ask the elders in the clan.
