Chapter 8 Looting
Once you find a way to deal with the Hanging Ghost, things become much simpler.
The hanging ghost only needs to keep a close eye on the rope and be careful, and this ghost only needs to maintain its body heat.
Li Yuan dashed back to the bathroom, grabbed the wooden tub full of toiletries, and then sprinted to the door to throw it out.
The movements were rapid and exaggerated.
He didn't care about stepping on rotten planks or sinking into them; he just needed to pull himself out. As long as he could maintain his body heat, nothing else mattered! Li Yuan rushed into a room and found it was the kitchen, so he immediately started ransacking the place.
He carried all the pots, pans, knives, spatulas, and spoons outside, ready to take them to the car.
Thanks to the extended shelf life of the game, these things didn't even have any mold spots.
Even some of the unopened bags of rice and noodles looked edible!
Li Yuan unceremoniously took everything outside. You Gui watched as Li Yuan ransacked her home, her teeth itching with rage, tears of blood streaming down her face.
We must kill him!
Yougui thought bitterly. Unfortunately, her ability couldn't kill Li Yuan directly; her body would release a chilling aura.
As for why it released cold air, it's probably related to the cause of her death.
At the time, Xiao Dai (her husband) gave her sleeping pills and put them in the freezer. Strangely, the freezer temperature was not set too low; it was gradually lowered. Perhaps he was afraid she would be woken up by the cold, but she was still woken up by the cold. Maybe he didn't give her enough sleeping pills. In order to make her die faster, Xiao Dai had no choice but to turn the temperature down to the lowest setting.
Her limbs were already frozen stiff, and she was unable to resist.
She still remembers how she felt at the time. She dreamed of snow. At first, she was very happy, but as the weather got hotter, the snow fell less and less each year.
But the snow fell heavier and heavier, quickly burying her. She grew colder and colder, and she wanted to escape to a warm place, but her body was trapped under the snow and she could not move. She gradually lost consciousness.
She was awakened by the cold and looked at the translucent freezer lid, realizing that she was no longer warm.
It was as if fate was mocking her; her abilities had another use.
If the target stays in a low-temperature environment for 3 minutes, she can use ultra-low temperature to freeze them to death instantly!
This ability is actually very useful; it can paralyze the victim for 3 minutes with low temperature, and then deliver a fatal blow without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan didn't stay for three minutes, and once the break occurred, it had to start all over again.
If the ultra-low temperature is released directly, Li Yuan will probably just run away.
The solution to the cold is simple: just like Li Yuan, keep moving to maintain body heat. As long as the body's heat returns, her ability will become ineffective.
Now she is helpless against Li Yuan.
Movement in a closed space would only hasten Li Yuan's death, but the wooden house was open, and she had no ability to seal it off.
If Li Yuan felt uncomfortable, he could simply escape.
For the first time, Yougui felt the inconvenience of his abilities.
She's just a minor ghost; if she were stronger, no matter how much Li Yuan moved his body, it wouldn't make a difference.
Even now, she still doesn't know why they didn't just poison him to death, but instead went through all that trouble to freeze him to death. She also doesn't understand why Xiaodai listened to the Taoist priest so readily.
That statement, "Only the devil can escape the devil," made Xiao Dai so convinced that he was determined to kill himself?
She wasn't afraid that Xiao Dai would kill her; what she feared was that the Taoist priest would continue to use Xiao Dai to kill others.
That idiot has been slow-witted since he was a child.
However, just as the Taoist priest said, she did become a ghost, but she has been trapped in this small wooden house for many years.
People have entered the wooden house before—some to seek shelter from the rain, some to rest, and some to look for valuables. She didn't interfere and let them stay in the wooden house.
Even though she could sense that killing those people would make her stronger.
But she wasn't interested in strength; she just wanted to know if Xiao Dai had any regrets all these years.
Why hasn't he come back to find me after all these years?
After becoming a monster, she discovered that she had lost many of the emotions she had as a human: appetite, laziness, excitement, anger; she only remembered a few things that were most important to her.
Until Li Yuan, the guy carrying the money sword, appeared, she always thought she didn't have the resentment and anger from ghost stories. But when she saw the money sword, a huge wave of anger and resentment surged into her chest!
He's just like the Taoist priests of yesteryear!
They all deserve to die! Yougui stood in the shadows, staring intently at Li Yuan's every move, searching for an opportunity to attack.
She cannot keep releasing cold energy as it would deplete her yin energy, and the yin energy within her body is limited.
However, she soon found an opportunity. Li Yuan was obviously looking for something. Although she snatched away pots, pans and other utensils (gritting her teeth), those were clearly not his target, but just something he took along.
When Li Yuan found something in the wardrobe and showed a slightly pleased expression, she knew her opportunity had arrived.
She pounced on him instantly!
When a person is attracted to something, some of their attention is diverted.
Before Li Yuan could react, he stumbled and fell into the wardrobe. His body shuddered violently as a bone-chilling cold enveloped him, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and his body heat was rapidly dissipating.
He sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to think of a solution, but couldn't come up with a good one for the time being.
Yougui chose to strike when Li Yuan bent down to examine the treasure chest in the wardrobe. He suddenly pounced on Li Yuan, who was caught off guard and crawled into the wardrobe. The wardrobe was not only cramped, but the piled-up clothes also made it difficult to move.
With the ghostly force pressing down, Li Yuan was unable to break free for a time.
A few seconds would have been enough to take Li Yuan's life!
Li Yuan tried to swing the Money Sword, but both of his wrists were gripped tightly by Yougui. The immense force and bone-chilling cold gradually caused his hands to lose sensation.
That suffocating feeling gripped his throat again.
His consciousness began to gradually dissipate.
grass.
That cunning fellow is quite clever! He chose to strike when he was taking the treasure chest.
Li Yuan quickly thought of a solution: if the hands were controlled, the only parts that could move were the torso and lower limbs.
Suddenly, Li Yuan, who was pinned down by Yougui, straightened up and then forcefully sticked out his buttocks!
The strange creature was caught off guard and was suddenly pushed aside!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yuan quickly shrank his body to leave the wardrobe. In his haste, he didn't even notice that his scalp had brushed hard against the wardrobe door.
Although Yougui was pushed away, it quickly climbed back onto Li Yuan, its hands still not letting go of Li Yuan's wrists.
Li Yuan desperately pupated on the ground.
This movement made Li Yuan feel much better, and his body, which had been frozen, recovered.
This method is effective, but it only provides temporary relief. Otherwise, if one's strength is exhausted in the long run, death will still be the only outcome.
However, Li Yuan already had a way to break the deadlock.
Li Yuan twisted his waist desperately, like a stranded sardine. With Li Yuan's efforts, he soon heard a pleasant "sizzling" sound.
Li Yuan had a cinnabar bag and black dog blood hanging from his waist. The cinnabar bag was not tied shut for convenience, and a lot of cinnabar had already spilled out.
Whenever the ghost touches it, it will hiss and emit wisps of black smoke.
Many of the Five Emperors' Coins that Li Yuan had placed in his pocket fell out, and at this moment, Yougui had many more dark, circular scars on her body, which made her attacks much less aggressive.
Despite the pain, Yougui clung to Li Yuan, desperately releasing its chilling energy. The cinnabar and the Five Emperors Coins did cause her harm, but not fatally, and she could still endure it.
These injuries can be healed with yin energy, but she doesn't have much yin energy in her body, so it's best to avoid it.
She quickly found a solution.
Yougui was a spirit. She sank directly into the floor and continued to release cold air. Since she couldn't come into contact with the cinnabar and the Five Emperors Coins, she couldn't be harmed. Her hands still tightly restrained Li Yuan's wrists, and she would occasionally stick out her feet to hook Li Yuan and stop his movements.

Li Yuan cursed inwardly, "The mysterious and treacherous are indeed difficult to deal with!"
But he quickly came up with a solution and immediately crawled towards the head of the bed.
