We

 suddenly heard 

a burst of horrible laughter

 from above. We lifted our heads and saw the dried body 

hanging

 from 

a beam

. 

T

he moment we looked 

at

 her, she swung her hand

 and tore 

her clothes

, revealing h

er rotten body. 

I couldn’t help

 but retch

. I immediately drew the peach wood sword

 and aimed it 

at her! 

She didn’t attack us

. Instead, she hovered over 

the lectern

 and mumbled 

something indistinctive. 

The female ghost kept making strange sounds. 

Then

, the Yin energy 

in the area

 began to congregate 

around

 her. The ghost

’s 

withered

 and 

decomposed body started to replenish

 and swell 

up. Not even after one minute, she had become a naked

 and 

sexy woman. 

Li Mazi gulped his saliva

 and said 

shamelessly

, “I

f I die in her hands, I 

feel

 it’

ll be

 worth it.” 

I

 ignored him and turned 

to 

Marco, telling him

 to protect himself. Then, I took the peach wood sword

 and dashed 

toward the female ghost. 

Marco

 held me

 and screamed,

 “Zhang, you can’t go! She’s a devil now! You’re not her opponent!” 

“You don’t know if you don’t try! Move!” 

I understood that 

Marco

had good intentions. However,

 if we didn’t take risks now, we wouldn’t 

be able to leave alive

. I pushed him aside

 and thrust 

my sword 

forward

. 

As

 I was approaching her, the ghost didn’t move. When

ever danger was near, she would

 turn into a ring 

of light

. I smirked

 and thought 

that 

I’d

 been practicing 

how to hit a moving

 ring a

 lot 

these past day

s. I had practiced 

just to be able to counter her move. 

However, I didn’t expect that the ghos

t would do something else this time

. 

T

he moment

I was about to hit her chest, the corner of her mouth rose

, and s

he suddenly disappeared. 

My sword hit the void. After a second of bewilderment, I heard Li Mazi scream

.

“Watch out!”

At th

at moment

, a strong force hit my back. 

I was sent a few meters forward. When I landed, I vomited blood. The ghost stood at the place I had just stabbed her

 and gave 

me a disdainful smile. She provokingly licked her lips.   

“

Screw

 you!” 

She was playing with me as though she was playing with a mouse

.

 I gritted my teet

h and got 

up. I ignored the pain 

i

n my back

 and thrust 

the sword one more time. However, as soon as it 

approached

 the ghost, she disappeared. 

I learned from experience this time

 and pulled 

my peach sword backward

. I aimed 

again. Still, I only reached the void. Before I could react, the ghost appeared above me. Her sharp, red fingernails dug into my neck

, and b

lood spurted. 

I instinct

ively

 jerked 

back

 to avoid the fatal attack, then hacked the peach sword on her head. 

After 

the ghost 

was

 hit, a wound appeared on her porcelain skin. The area around the wound began to wither at a speed the naked eye could observe. 

I was strangely happy.

 Even if you can become young and beautiful again, you’re just a dried corpse!

With the previous two experiences, I didn’t actively attack her. I was waiting for her to attack me first so that I could guess

 the

 direction of the attack from her Yin energy. As a result, my peach wood sword hit her a few times, 

which gave

 her wounds all over her body. 

I knew the peach sword would gradually lose its power. 

The next time

 she came

 near me, 

I would use all of my strength to stab her one final time. 

However, t

he image of the sword piercing through her body didn’t 

come true

. The peach wood sword fumed black smoke

 and

 broke into pieces! 

At the same time, I saw countless female ghosts around me. They were identical

and all had strong Yin energy. 

I was stunned

 as i

t wasn’t a hallucination. Those were her clones!

I

 already had difficulties dealing

 with one ghost and now… I guessed we all had to die here… 

T

he moment I wanted to give up, white, dazzling light emitted next to us. At the same time, the ghost seemed to feel intimidating. 

She immediately

 retreated to the lectern. 

I turned and saw the Lance of God in Li Mazi’s hand

. It was emitting a 

blinding white light. 

“Zhang, Jesus Christ 

is here to save

 us! Thank God, my Lord!” 

Marco

 was so excited that he stammered. 

Then, he closed his eyes

 and 

solemnly 

read

 some verses of the Bible. As he was chanting faster and faster, the white light from the Lance of God 

became

 more dazzling. 

It seemed God was showing his power! Excitedly, I screamed

 and

 received the spear from Li Mazi

, slowly walking

 toward the ghost. 

As I walked

, my vision blurred out. A bearded, foreign man wearing a white gown appeared in 

my mind

. He brushed his garment with one hand while 

he held his other 

hand in front of his chest. He smiled

 and nodded 

at me.  

Then, he turned into a dot of white light 

and entered 

the Lance of God! 

My head was 

tingling.

 Then, my vision became clear again. My hand that was holding the Lance of God became much more agile. At the same time, the female ghost clones scattered

. They fled as they had encountered

 their nemesis. 

I was worried that they 

w

ould escape. 

My hand that was holding the lance subconsciously rose

, drawing 

a circle above my head.

 Then, a b

urning white light immediately expanded from the circle I had just drawn. The entire structure was covered in white light. All the clones fell

 to

 the ground

,

 struggl

ing

. 

Marco choked

 on his saliva because he was reading too fast. He had to stop for a while

, which caused t

he white light in the church to 

subside

. The ghost seized the chance

 and roared 

bizarrely. Her clones gathered into one

 and lunged 

toward me. At the moment she was about to reach me, she turned into a floating, black violin! 

The violin emitted an evil, magic power that made me shiver. I forgot to dodge the attack. Instinctively, I rose the Lance of God to parry. I knew I could stab her

, but I would also be hurt

. 

At the moment my life was at stake, 

Marco

 started to read the Bible verses again. I felt 

the

 power 

return to my body

. However, there was no ghost in front of me but a purple-sparkling skeleton. 

I didn’t even think

 and held 

the lance tighter

, stabbing the 

skeleton. After a low 

sound

, my vision resumed to normal. The ghost now had a big, bleeding hole 

i

n her chest. She looked 

at her chest in disbelief. There was no

unwillingness in her eyes

, 

only

 endless 

confusion

. 

Starting from the head, her entire body turned into ashes

, scattering 

with the wind. 

Marco

 kept chanting since he was afraid that she wasn’t gone yet. In my eyes, the scene changed again. 

In the middle of a sea of flowers, a beautiful lady was holding a violin

. She was beaming 

sweetly at me. She waved, then turned

 and disappeared 

into the mesmerizing lavender fields.

“You can stop reading. She’s gone

,” 

I 

said to Marco

. We then left the Ghost Castle. 

After the ghost was gone, the people from the Longquan Villa mys

teriously 

disappeared. I didn’t know where they 

went

 and I was too lazy to track them down. Li Mazi and I spent the next few days with 

Marco

 in Milan. Then, we headed home. 

It 

is

 worth mentioning 

that on the last

 night I slept in the hotel, I dreamed of the beautiful European woman one more time. She held the violin and kept turning her head around to see. Every time, her pretty face 

turned

 rosier.  

I couldn’t see the person behind her, but I knew it was a young man playing the violin. 

Paganini, I wish that you 

will

 cherish the chan

c

e God has given you and treat your beloved well in heaven!
