Chapter 56 Section 14

  The tablet is placed face down on the ground.

  A middle-aged man wouldn't go himself, but instead had to be coaxed by a police officer to get up.

  The Mongolian police officer sighed helplessly, looked up to see that Cheng Chou had already run away without a trace, and could only pick up the black plaque from the ground with a sigh.

  The wood struck together, making a "crack" sound.

  Originally, there was also a small sign attached to the front of this sign.

  The large tombstone is inscribed: The lotus seat of the late Miss Yao Fangqing

  The small tablet is inscribed: The lotus seat of the late Sun Yaoyuan

  Men wear green and women wear yellow, why are these two signs in black? Probably nobody cares about those old rules anymore.

  The Mongolian police officer didn't quite understand this aspect either, and without thinking much, silently picked up the memorial tablet and handed it to the middle-aged man.

  The man carefully accepted the placard and asked Meng to bow and apologize.

  The police officer suppressed his anger, but he couldn't refuse this kind of thing. Everyone on the street was watching, and if he dared to leave like this today, tomorrow there might be posts online saying "Police Officer Knocks Over Dead Man's Memorial Without Apology, What's Going On?" accompanied by his photo.

  "I'm really sorry, I had an urgent matter earlier, and I hope you can forgive me." Officer Meng raised his hand in a salute, sincerely apologizing to the middle-aged man again. After finishing, he bent down and picked up all the paper money and white candles on the ground, put them in a bag, and returned them to the middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man hummed with his nose and put the nameplate into the bag, then left.

  The police officer shook his head, just about to turn around and return to the AHS company building, but found that there was some black paint on his hand, and no matter how he rubbed it back and forth with his fingers, it wouldn't come off.

  Is that sign just freshly painted? But there are already words engraved on it...

  Let's forgive Officer Meng and talk about Cheng Chou instead.

  Chengzhou rushed all the way back home, and the security guard at Jinhua Garden and passing residents cast sidelong glances at him.

  "You're back!"

  Cheng Zhou had just rushed out of the elevator when he heard a shout full of surprise.

  Saito Masashi saw him return and was like seeing a close relative, hastily wanting to welcome him.

  Situ blocked his way.

  Chengzhou just realized that their neighbor seemed to be blocked by his family's Situ and He Sheng at the door.

  What's going on?

  Chengzhou is inexplicable, but now it's not about solving international neighborhood disputes, he has to find his son first.

  "Sir, what's wrong, it's coming out big..."

  "Mr. Cheng, I need to see you about something very important!" Saito Masayuki said loudly.

  "Sorry! I have a pressing matter of life and death on my end too. Let's talk next time if it's convenient for you." Cheng Zhou quickly said, anxiously looking at Si Tu and He Sheng, "Has Hong Ye returned? Have any of you seen him?"

  As soon as he heard that it seemed to be related to Akane, Saito Masayuki hastily said: "Mr. Cheng, do you have something urgent? Maybe I can help..."

  Bang!

  Cheng Chou was pushed by Sito into his own house and then Sito went inside, slamming the door shut right in front of Saito.

  He Sheng glanced at Qi Teng and turned around to walk through the wall back home.

  Saito regretted it, he shouldn't have wanted to exorcise him as soon as he saw Cui, but that was just his instinctive reaction, he didn't mean to feud with that person, and Cui was obviously the newly raised fierce ghost.

  Inside the house.

  Chengzhou didn't understand why Situ was so hostile towards their neighbor, but he couldn't care about that now. Seeing He Sheng appear, he immediately exclaimed: "Hongye is gone! He was taken away by that shameless little monk! We have to go rescue him! Do you know how to find that little monk?"

  Compared to Cheng Chou's anxiety, Situ and He Sheng apparently didn't think that Hong Ye's disappearance was a big deal, especially when Cheng Chou mentioned the little monk.

  Situ actually witnessed the whole process of Red Leaf and Xiao Heshang leaving the Ghost Castle boundary, and then killing Xiao Heshang not long after.

  He Sheng didn't see the whole process of Hong Ye being caught by Xiao He Shang because he was guarding Cheng Zhou, but his understanding of Hong Ye was more than Si Tu's, so naturally he wouldn't think that Hong Ye would be caught by Xiao He Shang.

  Sai and He simultaneously thought: That guy must have gone out to find something to eat.

  "Steward! What's going on!" Seeing these two being so calm, Cheng Zhou got angry.

  "Has Red Leaf gone missing?" Sze-to asked.

  "Yes." Cheng Zhou nodded desperately.

  "What's going on? Tell me about the process."

  Chengzhou immediately and quickly told everything about Hongye's disappearance from start to finish.

  Situ rubbed his chin, "The last time that little monk was eaten by the red leaf, this time... are you sure it's exactly the same one?"

  Cheng Zhou's ears automatically filtered out the first sentence and only answered Si Tu's question: "I didn't see his face clearly, but the feeling that little monk gave me was the same as last time."

  "I don't think we need to worry so much about Hongye. If something really happened to him, he should have been affected. And since he's fine..."

  "What will happen to him if something goes wrong?" Cheng Zhou was perplexed.

  Situ really wanted to say that it was his sacrificial offering, and there must be his mark on it. Also because of that mark, the taste of being a top-grade sacrificial offering could be concealed.

  If something really happened to Hong Ye, the seal was broken, then Cheng Zhou would not be able to return safely like this. Even if he was lucky enough not to be sucked dry by evil spirits on the road, their home must have been surrounded and filled with a large army of ghosts by now.

  However, Situ had already been pointed out by He Sheng that their nominal family head's mental endurance was relatively low, so he didn't say it clearly and only asked: "Has Hongye ever given anything? The kind that is carried close to the body?"

  Chengzhou...can't remember.

  He Sheng reached out and grabbed Cheng Zhou's right wrist, "Here."

  Cheng Zhou turned over his wrist to take a look, and on the pulse point, there was a circle of small tooth marks that were no longer very clear, which was one of the mementos left by his son.

  Apart from his wrist, there seems to be one on his neck as well. The red leaf is a dog's property and likes to bite him for no reason.

  Situ stretched out his hand.

  Chengzhou stupidly stretched out his wrist for him to see.

  Situ drew a circle in the air with his finger on the tooth print, looked up at Cheng Chou and said: "If you hope to find Hong Ye through this tooth print, you need assistance."

  Chengzhou's spirit shook, "What assistance is needed? Speak directly."

  "A drop of blood."

  He Sheng immediately looked at Sito with discontent. With his ability, he could have used a different method.

  Situ's expression didn't change. This method is the fastest.

  Cheng Zhou said nothing, "Don't say a drop, it's all done! Take it."

  Situ's right hand index finger lightly tapped on the middle finger of his left hand, and a dark red blood bead emerged.

  Situ Xun caught the extremely alluring bloody scent, his Adam's apple moved up and down obviously, he grabbed Cheng Chou's wrist with one hand, lowered his head to lean in close.

  One hand stopped Situ, and forcibly snatched Cheng Chou from his hands.

  He San's hand waved, and a drop of fresh blood floated up from the tip of his finger.

  Situ gave He Sheng a glance, opened his mouth and sucked in the blood bead into his abdomen.

  Cheng Chou gazed intently at Szeto, waiting for him to indicate the direction of the red leaf.

  "What did you hear in your ear? Mr. Sito's low laughter, 'Don't believe it?'".

  "It's hard to control one's desires, and it's even harder for ghosts."

  Cheng Zhou turned his head and said, "He Sheng, what did you say?" Si Tu's voice was intentionally not loud enough for him to hear.

  "From now on, no matter who wants it, especially the blood from the fingertips of both hands, don't casually give it away. Even if Hong Ye wants some, you must figure out what he's going to use it for." He Sheng said seriously.

  "I know, I didn't give it casually, even donating blood... Let's talk about this later. It's just that they gave it to us, and I believe neither Hei nor Situ would harm us, let alone Hongye..."

  He looked at Cheng Zhou with worry, "Cheng Ge, don't you know your own identity as a grain reserve?" If he really didn't know, then I hope heaven will bless him to never find out.

  Situ looked at Cheng Chou, and without expressing any gratitude or apology for his actions and demands, he simply smiled, closed his eyes, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

  Cheng Zhou looked at him curiously, involuntarily lowering his voice to ask He Sheng beside him, "Don't they need to set up an altar? Or change clothes and pose? At the very least, shouldn't they offer some sacrifices? Like white candles and incense?"

  "He has already received offerings."

  "Is that...?" Cheng Zhou swallowed his saliva.

  He Sheng explained in a low voice, "It can be understood this way. When ordinary witches, Taoists, and mediums want to ask ghosts for help, they will post recruitment information on the Yin side, which is the altar or magic array they set up. Inside, there will be requirements for the ghost's abilities and what they hope the ghost will do."

  "Is offering goods just a form of compensation?"

  "Yes. Now, the one who was invited is the fierce ghost, and the blood of the is the offering. Because the blood contains the power of the red leaf, he can use it to directly track down the whereabouts of the red leaf."

  "How is he going to find it?"

  "This is a unique ability of ghosts." He Sheng scratched his head, unsure how to explain it to Cheng Zhou.

  "No need to explain, anyway..."

  "Red Leaf is definitely still alive." Sutou suddenly opened his eyes and said.

  Chengzhou was overjoyed and waved his hand vigorously, "Great! Where is he now? Can we find him?"

  "Just wait." Sito closed his eyes again.

  He Sheng suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed: "I've got it!"

  He Sheng pulled Cheng Chuan to one side and said, "Brother Cheng, I've thought of a way to explain it. We can consider all the ghost spirits as a group signal or a group of electromagnetic waves, and the power contained in the red leaves in the blood can also be considered as a separate signal."

  Chengzhou heard that Hongye was still alive and felt relieved. He also had the heart to listen to others talk now. By the way, what did Saito want from him just now?

  "What Xing excitedly explained was that when Sī Tú searched for Hóng Yè, it was equivalent to inputting this single signal into his own signal group. Then he mixed a part of his own signal group with the signal of Hóng Yè and transmitted it into the air to search for the latest signal trace left by Hóng Yè."

  Chengzhou felt he understood.

  "It's worth noting here that the more powerful a ghost is, the farther it can sense. In order to ensure that its signal group is not blocked by various obstacles in the air and is not affected by other chaotic signals, this ghost's signal group must be extremely concentrated and intense."

  He Sheng gave Cheng Chou a moment to understand, then continued: "When the signal group sent by Situ finds the place with the strongest and most signals, it means that we have found Hong Ye Ben, or at least something very closely related to Hong Ye. Brother Cheng, can you understand this?"

  Cheng Zhou nodded heavily, and after He Sheng's explanation, he suddenly felt that the ghostly spirits that had been so unconvincing to him before had become surprisingly scientific and materialistic.

  Chengzhou still wanted to ask the ghost why it needed essence and how it could become a real body after absorbing essence, but at this time, Situ had already woken up again.

  "Red leaves are heading southwest, they're moving now, shall we catch up?"

  "Of course!"

  "Alright, go buy train tickets."

  "Huh?!"

  The author has something to say: Thank you for your support of the genuine version! Logging in to the background seems very smooth today, hoping to upload successfully later.

  PS: Tomorrow I'll go to the geological museum to look up some materials, as it's not enough to just collect from the internet and can't see the physical objects. So tomorrow's update will be a bit late, but I'll update before 24:00. I want to keep my daily update record, haha^^
