Chapter 48: Wronged Spirit (1)

  At 7:00 in the morning, Xiaoyan was still lying on the bed with fatigue, although the soreness and weakness on her body had improved a lot, but she still felt that every step was very difficult. She used to think that "ghost pressing bed" was just nonsense, ridiculous, but now that she really experienced it, she understood the horror and fear...

  "Transfer a person's warmth to another's chest..." The phone rang, Xiaoyan picked it up and saw that it was Ye Chen. She took a deep breath and answered:

  "What's wrong?"

  "Are you up? I'm downstairs in your building, let's go to school together later." Ye Chen's gentle voice came from the phone.

  "Uh-huh, I'll go down now." Xiaoyan replied, got up and changed into her school uniform, washed up briefly and went downstairs.

  Downstairs, Ye Chen was leaning against the anti-theft door on the first floor, staring blankly at a certain place. A few strands of early sunlight shone on his sleek black hair, making him look enchanting and warm. When he turned around, Ye Chen saw Xiaoyan, and the corners of his mouth curved into a deep arc as he straightened up and said:

  "How can walking make no sound?"

  Xiao Yan smiled lightly and walked towards Ye Chen in the morning.

  "Are you daydreaming? Let's go."

  The sun that hasn't shown its face for a long time finally revealed itself today, hanging in the gray sky.

  Ye Chen and Xiao Yan walked side by side, each lost in their own thoughts, unwilling to let anyone know. Ye Chen thought about whether he should ask what had happened the day before, but ultimately kept his lips tightly closed. Xiao Yan thought about whether she should tell Ye Chen about the unexpected event of the previous night, but instead buried her head deep into the white scarf.

  On the quiet street, there were several vendors calling out breakfast for sale in loud voices.

  "Hey girl, wait a minute!" A hoarse voice came from behind, softly stopping Xiaoyan.

  "Old sir, are you calling me? What's the matter?" Xiaoyan turned around and looked at the old man in front of her. His temples were white, with a long white beard hanging down, wearing a Taoist hat on his head, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, holding a bamboo pole in one hand, with a white cloth hanging from it, written in ink: "Life and death are determined by heaven, come to calculate your fate for wealth and marriage". The old man's other hand stroked his long beard, with a kind smile on his face. Xiaoyan knew at a glance that the old man was a Taoist fortune teller who made a living by divination. She thought to herself, "I'm not a superstitious woman, why did the old Taoist call me?"

  The poor Taoist saw that the girl's complexion was not good, and her forehead was black... The old Taoist walked up with a smile on his face, speaking to Xiaoyan, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Chen.

  "Sorry, we don't calculate fate," Ye Chen said, pulling Xiao Yan to turn around and leave. In his heart, he despised the fact that such an old-fashioned trick was still being used.

  "What strange thing happened to you last night, young lady?" The old Taoist remained calm and continued to smile as he spoke to Xiaoyan who was about to turn around and leave.

  Xiao Yan was about to take a step, but after hearing the old Taoist's words, she stopped in her tracks and didn't move. Ye Chen stood beside her, puzzled, wondering if the old Taoist wasn't just a swindler after all.

  "If you want to know the reason, I won't charge a single penny to tell you." The old Taoist said with one hand leisurely stroking his white beard.

  "Elder Dao, I've wronged you earlier, please tell me, thank you Elder Dao." Xiaoyan thought for a long time, gritted her teeth and turned back to walk in front of the old Daoist priest, lightly bowing her waist to show apology. Ye Chen also hastily followed suit, bowing his waist to apologize.

  "Haha... no need to be polite. I simply calculated that we were destined to meet, it's fate, no need to thank me! Has the young lady seen anything unclean recently?"

  Xiao Yan was shocked in her heart, and the image of the female corpse in the toilet water tank that day flashed back in her mind. She paused for a moment before speaking.

  "Yes, I saw a female corpse in a pool of blood the day before yesterday."
