Chapter 773 - The Ghost Token (2/2)

The man in black laughs, “Nothing is too strange in the world but the Ghost Token is a treasure of the Ghost Sect. It is not easy to get the Ghost Token.”

“Where is it?” Meng Jing says without hesitation.

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” The man in black asks with a smile.

Meng Jing takes a look at him with complicated eyes and says calmly, “If I’m afraid of death, will I come here?”

The man in black looks as if lost in thought.

After waiting for a while, he continues saying, “The Ghost Token is in the Five Ghosts Mansion of the Ghost Sect but it is equipped with lots of mechanisms and guarded by five Ghost Kings. Given your capability, you can’t be able to handle them so by then, I will directly draw the five Ghost Kings away.”

Hearing that, Meng Jing feels as if taking a tumble.

She was suspicious about the man in black before. Since he knows where the Ghost Token is, why doesn’t he take it himself? Is he afraid of danger? This is impossible. If he is really afraid of danger, he won’t be here. As such, she had to doubt whether he was up to something. Maybe he has been lying to her only to steal the Ghost Token with her help?

Now, the man in black gives her an answer.

Meng Jing immediately realizes something and says, “If so, will you be found?”

“So what?” The tone of the man in black suddenly becomes sterner, “Actually, I never mean to go back alive.”

Meng Jing is startled.

From the tone of the man in black, she feels his determination.

Of course she knows that he was not kidding.

That’s really his plan.

“Someone must be sacrificed so that we can get the Ghost Token?” Meng Jing bites her lips and asks.

The man in black seems to have seen through her mind and then says smilingly, “There is no other way. Besides, that is not the reason. Instead, it is because I can’t go back.”

Meng Jing looks at him in confusion.

She is waiting for him to talk about the reason.

Why can’t he go back?

Yet, it seems that the man in black doesn’t mean to continue the topic. Instead, he changes the topic back to the business.

“Let’s go to the Five Ghosts Mansion at midnight the day after tomorrow.”

After saying that, the man in black directly stands up and walks out with his hands on his back before Meng Jing answers.

Meng Jing wants to say something but seeing his back with determination, he still says nothing.

He gets out of the room.

On the way back, the man in black takes off the big hood and exposes his hideous face. The scars on his face are like centipedes, crisscrossed.

“I cannot go back anymore.”

Having walked for a distance, he mutters with a bitter smile.

“I really cannot go back…”

Meng Jing in the room looks at her left wrist. The pattern of the green phoenix looks more like a tattoo but it is glittering with hazy green light.

“By then, is it me or you…” Meng Jing gazes at the pattern of the green phoenix on her wrist and mutters deeply resignedly.
