Chapter 162: Deathly Regrets
The driver's eyes were no longer panicked.

He slowly backed away and before leaving he encouraged everyone in the car.

"Wait here, don't move."

"I'll go find a place with a signal. Believe me, I will come back to save you."

Listened to what he said.

A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of the survivors in the car.

The driver backed away for a distance and suddenly seemed to see something. His face suddenly changed and he turned around and ran away without looking back, as if he was frightened by some ferocious beast.

Wu Xian followed his gaze.

A white snake as thick as a bucket emerged from the soil. It was nearly twenty meters long. Its upper body was stretched straight and it made a woman's voice with unclear pronunciation.

"Come back... find a way... to save them..."

But the driver had already walked away and did not respond to her.

So the white snake roared twice at a little fox, and the little fox ran away. Recalling what happened before at the tomb of the wandering doctor, Wu Xian guessed that the little fox went to ask the wandering doctor for help.

Then the big snake circled the bus twice, with an anxious look in its eyes, but with its snake body, it could not do anything, and its presence scared the passengers on the bus so much that they kept screaming.

Suddenly, a man in a robe and holding a burning candle in his hand walked out from the edge of Wu Xian's field of vision and spoke in a seductive tone.

"Do you want to save them?"

"I have magic. If you learn it, you can save people."

The White Snake Fairy Liu turned her head, looking a little confused. Her red eyes flashed, and she turned around and wanted to go back to the underground cave.

She just wanted to save people and there was no need to get involved with dangerous people.

"If you learn my magic, you can transform into a human form."

The white snake suddenly stopped.

Wu Xian didn't know what happened next.

All he could feel was severe pain and the powerlessness of his life slipping away. The man with a broken nose eventually died from internal injuries and excessive bleeding.

……

Wu Xian opened his eyes and got up from the ground.

Although I know that everything is fake, the feeling of waiting to die quietly is also a great terror.

He is still in the mourning hall.

Seven people, including him, were unharmed. Only Liang Fang was still unconscious. Judging from her even breathing, she would wake up soon.

Wu Xian asked Hu Yunkuan what happened afterwards.

After Liang Fang killed the next old fox that appeared, no new figures appeared, and Guan Daorong and Su Mi also woke up one after another.

The mourning hall has been very quiet since then. Apart from the occasional strange noises coming from the coffins, no major danger has occurred.

What Wu Xian just saw in his memory was very similar to what he had known before.

After the car accident, Liu Xiangu wanted to save people, so she sent a messenger to find a traveling doctor. However, when the traveling doctor came, Liu Xiangu had already learned the evil method of stealing life under the instigation of her "master".

……

After Liang Fang also woke up from the memory of the deceased.

Wu Xian asked them again: "What did you see from inside?"

Guan Daorong was the first to speak.

"Let me tell you first."

"What I saw was the driver's memory before he died. After killing a whole car of people, he hid himself, but was later found by reporters. On the night his story was exposed, a white snake came to his door..."

The driver was so frightened that he lost his mind and hid in the corner, shouting, but no one could hear what he said.

White Snake spoke in a gloomy tone.

"It's all your fault. If you had chosen to save those people, I wouldn't have been harmed like this... Ask me a question. If you ask this question, you can live." Hope suddenly rose in the driver's heart, so he followed the White Snake's instructions and asked with anticipation on his face.

"What do I look like to you, a human or a snake?"

The white snake showed an anthropomorphic smile on his face: "You are like a snake."

The driver's expression suddenly changed.

His body immediately began to itch, as if something was about to come out from under his skin. He scratched desperately, tearing his skin and flesh. From the torn skin and flesh, irregular black snake scales grew one after another...

From this moment on, the driver is dead.

All that was left was a snake-scale monster.

……

Guan Daorong's story answered Wu Xian's doubts.

No wonder the driver, even though he had escaped, still transformed into a snake-scale monster and lurked among their team.

Then it was Sumi.

He saw nothing and only heard the conversation between two servants from the Liu Mansion.

"This fat guy finally died. He knew the young master's secret. If he didn't want to die, he should have kept his mouth shut. He even said hypocritically, "I'll keep it a secret for you first. As long as you change your ways, I won't tell Grandma... Tsk tsk, this is really disgusting."

"That's the same with Grandma. After she got the magic, she not only didn't share it, but she also said that it was for the good of the young masters and young ladies, and she wanted them to correct their ways and take the right path."

"If Grandma had taken the right path, would she have achieved this level of accomplishment?"

"The young masters' parents lived till their death but never got to pass on their immortality skills. How could the young masters be so foolish as to continue waiting?"

"In our demon world, there are too many hypocritical monsters like this."

After Su Mi, it was Liang Fang.

It tells the story of an old fox's dying memory. The old fox wanted to help the fairy destroy the fairy magic, but was backstabbed by his own son. The son replaced the old fox and became the steward of the Liu Mansion.

Wu Xian also recounted what he saw.

Everyone was discussing these four memories. These four memories of death were all related to Grandma Liu without exception, and the image of Grandma Liu in the memories was relatively positive.

Even the previous incident of Grandma swallowing her offspring was explained.

Hu Yunkuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this is the grandmother of the Liu family asking us for help. She wants to prove that she is a good person and begs us not to kill him as Liu Baoyu requested."

Wei Dian shook his head.

Whether to kill Liu's grandmother was not something they could decide.

Wu Xian did not comment. He guessed that those figures were the grandmother of the Liu family trying to communicate with them, but that did not mean that the grandmother of the Liu family could be trusted.

No evil spirit in the blessed land can be trusted. Moreover, since this information was proactively given to them by the grandmother of the Liu family, its credibility is even more questionable.

Aunt He changed the incense sticks and spoke thoughtfully.

"From what you said, the thing you just killed didn't seem like an evil spirit, but more like a remnant left after a person died. This remnant only has the memory before death, and doesn't even have self-awareness."

At this point, Aunt He stopped pretending, because she was actually the most senior family member present.

"Remnants?"

Wu Xian was stunned and turned to ask Aunt He.

“Is regret considered a ghost?”

Aunt He thought for a moment and said, "It probably doesn't count. At least in the blessed land I experienced, regret is even lower-class than wandering evil spirits."

Wu Xian licked his lips and suddenly felt something was wrong.

If regret is not considered a ghost.

So what exactly do the ghosts who are born in the second watch give birth to?
Wu Xian just thought of this.

Then a strange noise was heard, and except for the big coffin, the other twenty-two small coffins in the room began to shake at the same time!
