Chapter 43: Investigating the Living Dead
Wildfires burn in spring, but encounter a cold winter. A weary mind, yet finds a place to rest.
In the depths of autumn, it's as cold as winter. The white mist that comes out when you breathe is proof enough. But Gao Le, who was in a simple thatched hut, looked puzzled at this moment. In this small room, he didn't feel any warmth, but rather a chill. Not physically, but in his heart!
Little Cui was gesturing to Gao Le with her arm, indicating that they should leave quickly. It was already late at night, and nothing had been discovered, but unexpectedly, they were both deceived by the ghost! This pit was not so simple after all - a thousand-year-old ghost spirit transformed into a human, and Gao Le, who had always communicated with ghosts, could also be blinded. Not to mention ordinary people!
"Old man! Dare to ask when your son will be back?" Gao Le put down the water cup in his hand and slowly walked towards the old man who was facing away from him. He didn't know what he was doing, so Gao Le just went over to take a look.
"My son! It's almost time! I'll go outside and take a look!" After saying that, he picked up the lantern by his hand and walked out, but never gave Gao Le a straight face, which of course seemed very suspicious!
As the old man walked out of the house with a shaky gait, Xiaocui, who had been pretending all along, quickly put down the cup in her hand and ran to Gao Le's side. "Isn't this old man very suspicious?" Xiaocui was originally a straightforward person.
"For now, nothing has been found, the most important thing is to take a look at his son!" As soon as he finished speaking, a calm and steady young man's voice came from outside the room, accompanied by the light of a lantern, slowly approaching the room.
At first glance, Gao Le thought he had seen wrongly! However, he was very sure that the person in front of him was definitely just one person, but somehow looked a bit tense!
"How dare you?" The young man asked Gao Le first.
"Hello! My name is Gao Le! We just got lost and didn't realize we walked here, sorry to disturb you!" Gao Le said hastily. Xiao Cui, who was standing beside him, flashed a hint of hostility in her eyes, she clearly sensed that this person's body was filled with corpse energy. This wasn't because they were at the chaotic burial ground.
"Hao Le! ... Not very familiar. Please sit down!" The young man was startled when he heard Hao Le's name, and then said he didn't know him. Such a big turn, everyone present understood!
"Well, may I ask your esteemed name?" Gao Le naturally knew that his opponent was just a master with this skin. So he became much more calm!
"My name is Zhang Lei!" The young man threw down a sentence and walked to the side, squatting on the ground rummaging through something! The icy tone was clearly full of hostility. For Gao Le, who was cautious in every way, it was time to leave!
"Well then, we won't bother you anymore! If there's anything, just come to my store!" After saying that, Gao Le deliberately left a business card. So they can come find him themselves and not trouble others.
Gao Le hurriedly left with Xiao Cui after putting down the business card! At this time, an old man next to him was still lying in the corner, not knowing what he was doing. Zhang Lei, who was squatting on the ground, slowly stood up. In the instant he turned his head, two eyes emitting green light appeared very ominous and terrifying in the small thatched hut! His hands, which had already withered away, slowly clenched into a fist! Then fiercely slammed onto the table, then picked up the business card, took a look, and fiercely tore it to pieces!
"Hurry! We must leave quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Le summoned the Qian Kun Luo Pan. In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the darkness of the chaotic burial mound. Far away in a thatched cottage, a sudden scream pierced the air. The sound was heart-wrenching, like someone's skin being flayed alive. It startled the crows sleeping in the darkness, and suddenly a flock of birds cried out, invading the entire burial mound.
"Wow, big brother! When did you become so skilled? You disappear with just a puff and reappear with another puff! It's so amazing!" Little Cui batted her eyelashes at Gao Le, looking adorable, making it impossible for him not to laugh.
"Boss! You're back! Just now, a ghost came looking for you and said he knew where his wife was. He asked you to go to the restaurant!" After hearing Zhou Feng's words, Gao Le hastily pulled Xiao Cui away without even having time to drink a glass of water. Meanwhile, Bao Bao, who had just woken up from the inner room, looked like she had just woken up because it was already 5:10 in the morning and she had been awakened by Gao Le's voice!
When they arrived at the restaurant, the door with a seal on it was naturally inaccessible, so they had to climb in through the window at the back. Some people would say, "Why not use the Qiankun Luopan?" But the truth is, using the Qiankun Luopan once would weaken Gao Le's vital energy by one degree, which is why they just happened to encounter a ghost hitting the wall!
Gao Le, who had flipped in from the window, looked at the neatly arranged tables and chairs, as well as some unfinished food left by guests, all still in their original state. For a moment, he felt quite hungry! However, now was not the time to eat, so he headed into the kitchen! That's when he saw a figure standing off to the side, anxiously waiting for Gao Le's arrival. As soon as Gao Le appeared, the figure hastily knelt down on the ground. Don't think that ghosts won't ask for help; for these kinds of ghosts whose three souls and seven spirits have been torn apart, they are all wrongly killed. They can't enter reincarnation yet and must wait until the time is right to be reborn, otherwise, the world would be thrown into chaos again!
"Great Master! Please help me! Today, I was standing by the window and saw my wife sitting in a car with a young-looking man beside her. Do you think she's having an affair? Has she been unfaithful?!?" The ghost kneeling on the ground kept pleading to Gao Le, while Xiao Cui couldn't help but stifle a laugh, thinking "You're already a ghost, and you're still worried about your wife cheating on you, haha! How ridiculous!"
For the resentful and vengeful spirit in front of him, Gao Le must calm his emotions and calm him down. Otherwise, there will be another evil spirit that is difficult to deal with!
"Don't worry, I'm sure it's because he saw his own store being taken over by someone else that he sat down to discuss cooperation with you. Don't worry, I'll help you find him!" After finishing speaking, Gao Le pulled up the ghost in front of him, who was almost crying tears. Looking at him nodding silently, he knew he would continue to wait!
"Hey! Do you remember the license plate numbers of those two cars!? We've been searching for them!" Little Cui pulled on Gao Le's arm and said to the ghost in front of her. The ghost didn't respond, only nodding vigorously.
Looking at the license plate stored on his phone, Gao Le seemed to see a glimmer of hope. They would soon find out who was behind it all, and when that happened, he could finally put an end to it and calm these wrongly killed souls. The underworld would gain dozens more souls! As for himself, he was still useless, looking left and right, but actually, he had an idea, yet he never acted on it, always being haunted by the ghost king, thinking of reviving him all the time. How despicable!
