Chapter 66: The Female Ghost Xiao Yu

  I was struck by Tie Yi's words, which were both superficial and profound. As a proud member of the Ghost Capture Clan, how could he utter such ambiguous words? Besides, with my high IQ paired with my deep-set double eyelids, how could it be just an illusion?

  I looked at Tieyi's furrowed brow and asked nervously, "Tieyuan, didn't your Bronze Shadow Mirror get damaged from being soaked in water? You said before that it was extremely sensitive to dark objects, and would alert us even with the slightest abnormality. How come there wasn't any reaction just now?"

  The scene just now, such a detailed close-up shot, is completely impossible to be an illusion. As I spoke, I continued to look at the waist of the iron clothes, and the bronze mirror was quiet as if it had fallen asleep, which made me extremely disappointed.

  I'm afraid of Tiexiu hearing and telling Tie Ning, in my heart I cursed, "The first of the ten major Yin soldiers is also a goods that drops the chain at critical moments. Whatever master there is, whatever soldier likes to pretend."

  Tieyi looked at me with a stern expression, didn't say a word, shouted "get off" after opening the car door and jumped out.

  Looking at Tie Yi's figure, I feel that things will not be so simple. Otherwise, with Tie Yi's calm personality, he wouldn't have had that expression just now. This guy should be the kind of person who draws his sword and fights as soon as he sees a ghost.

  I glanced out the window, and on a deep winter night, it's always especially late before dawn breaks. The darkness is punctuated only by the headlights of passing cars, while all around is a vast blackness. On the radio, an expert in male diseases bid farewell to his listeners and then suddenly disappeared without even playing a closing song, leaving behind only silence. I reckon this expert knew that at this hour, there probably aren't any living souls listening to the broadcast.

  Since Tieyi had already opened the door and gotten out of the car, I could only follow suit. I stood up straight and also got out of the car, took out my flashlight and circled around the car, but didn't find anything unusual.

  This night's weather was really too cold, although the car also had a thousand-year-old Wujin, the temperature was like an ice box, but at least there wouldn't be any piercing wind blowing through the collar into my body. Compared to that, I decided to go back to the car and wait, this night wind would make me catch a cold if I wasn't careful, with Tieyi around, I was basically just a figurehead.

  "It's possible that I'm just exhausted from the mountain trek and my eyes are playing tricks on me, scaring me to death. Maybe it's just an illusion." Just as I was yawning and getting ready to get on the car, my hand had just touched the handle when I suddenly discovered a bright red bloody handprint below the handle!

  What's even more bizarre is that along with the bloody handprint, there are still blood droplets falling down, looking fresh as if they had just appeared.

  This amount of blood is quite a lot, I'm worried about excessive bleeding. I quickly checked my two hands and didn't find any wounds as small as a needle hole, which means this blood must not be mine. Following the trail of blood on the ground, I slowly moved the flashlight and found that the blood droplets were falling onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood. To my surprise, this pool of blood was slowly spreading out, and with each drop of blood, it formed a word!

  My god, it's actually a twisted "death" character!

  Looking at the blood-colored dead word on the ground, I thought of the strange white paper building just now, and the woman who blocked the car with her limbs damaged and holding a withered bone. I suddenly felt my scalp tightening, my limbs numb, and almost fainted on the spot.

  "In a state of panic, I shouted loudly, 'Iron clothes come quickly, your grandfather's dragging on, paralyzed and scared me to death! Come and take a look! We've got big trouble!' Due to fear, my voice was severely distorted and hoarse. The audio that came out of my mouth even startled myself, with terror mixed with embarrassment."

  Tie Yi quickly jumped over from the other end of the car, looked in the direction I was pointing, and after witnessing all this, he only dropped a few words: something big must have happened, it's been a long time since someone died.

  "Blood Possession Seal! It must be a Blood Possession Seal! Looks like what you just saw wasn't an illusion!"

  "What was that? Say it again?" I said in surprise.

  Tie Yi said in a low voice, "The appearance of the Blood Imprint may be because not far from where you just saw that scene, many people have just died suddenly, and there will be a strong resentment and obsession. This Blood Imprint is the mark left by these newly deceased people, whose yang energy has not dissipated and yin energy has not entered, seeking a host to express their grievances and resolve the vengeful energy! And you are this host!"

  As soon as I heard this, I was stunned.

  "According to your theory, in a murder case, when the police arrive, can't the victim just reveal the killer at the last moment and solve the case? You're talking nonsense!" I think this is completely absurd and nonsensical.

  "Firstly, this blood imprint requires the resentment of many people dying unjustly to work. Secondly, only we Yin messengers or those who walk in darkness can see this symbol, so..."

  "Why did you choose me?" I expressed complete incomprehension.

  "It's probably because you're handsome!" As soon as I heard Tie Yi's words, I was extremely excited. This guy finally admitted that I'm more handsome than him! Instantly, I said with a proud tone, "I completely agree with your opinion, who doesn't love beauty?"

  Listening to Tieyi's words, I felt something was off. Suddenly, I remembered something and asked Tieyi: "If it's many ghosts waiting for the yin messenger, then what about the woman and the paper building I saw?"

  Tie Yi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the woman didn't have any malicious intentions, she should be trying to convey some message or warning to you. As for that paper building, I know what it is - it's a waiting room for ghost messengers! It's very ordinary, nothing special!"

  "What should I do now?"

  Tieyi said to me, "Quickly take off your top and throw it on the bloodstain." I was just about to complain that it's so cold outside and I'm wearing this Armani which is a limited edition that I just bought a few days ago, throwing it directly on the ground or in the blood, it's really heartbreaking, what a waste.

  But looking at this guy's serious face, I didn't say a word, obediently took off my outerwear and swung it with one hand, covering the bloodstain perfectly. I forgot to show off, I was the substitute shooting guard of our college basketball team back then.

  "If I'm not mistaken, that female ghost should have wanted to possess your body, but because of the Xuanwu blood and the Blood River Dan in your body, it didn't work. Now I'll borrow your clothes and try using Borrowed Clothes Soul Binding."

  At this point, Tie Yi walked straight to the trunk of the car and took out a small donkey-branded suitcase.

  "My god!" I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when I saw what was inside the box. Then I quickly looked around to make sure my ancestors hadn't heard, or else a slap on the head would be inevitable.

  Ever since I walked out of the Yin Division, this catchphrase of mine has become my taboo words. Every time I subconsciously say it, a tense feeling follows, it seems that this ancestor left me with a serious psychological shadow!

  It turned out that Tie Yi actually took out a bunch of things used for burning paper from this luxurious suitcase, such as white paper, incense candles, and five-color paper, which are the kind of things commonly used in ordinary families during funerals. I suddenly remembered that there were these things in the car I was sitting in all along, and I felt a chill run down my spine.

  No wonder I've encountered a ghost! It must be this paper money that's caused the trouble!

  As we spoke, Tie Yi tore a piece of white paper into the shape of a person and placed it on my clothes. Then he muttered a string of dialect that I couldn't understand at all. As his voice faded away, the paper person seemed to come alive. I got excited and was about to rub my hands together to ignite the "Devouring Hell" technique, and the Twelve Character True Words were almost invoked.

  Tie Yi grabbed me with one hand, "You used the wrong technique, Read Soul Technique! This time I'll give you a chance to perform."

  Looking at Tie Yi's appearance, there shouldn't be any risk. I'm worried that this guy will look down on me and add some high-end events to my own loser resume. I nervously concentrated my mind and used the family-transmitted "Fighting Chicken Eye" ultimate skill.

  As I slowly looked at the paper man crouched on the ground, a strange scene occurred.

  At this moment, the paper man suddenly transformed into a woman in white, with a beautiful face and tears streaming down her cheeks. Seeing such a face, I immediately puffed out my chest and proudly introduced myself:

  "Sister, I am the descendant of Cuiming, the first of the four great judges of the underworld, and I'm asking you what's going on here? What grievances do you have to tell your brother?" At this moment, I completely forgot that I was facing a female ghost, and my body was filled with raging hormones.

  The woman said, "My name is Xiaoyu, I'm a college student. During the winter break, I went out to play with several friends. Who knew that our bus fell off the cliff at the sharp turn ahead..." At this point, the girl named Xiaoyu cried almost to the point of fainting.

  I was just about to help her, when Tie Yi said in a low voice beside me, "Don't touch her, you little guy has just been nervously rubbing your hands and accidentally ignited the Soul Devouring Hand. If you touch her now, with her current attributes, she will instantly lose her soul and be unable to reincarnate."

  Because I have to maintain the "chicken eye" pose to read the soul, I can't lower my head to look at my hands. However, from the temperature of these hands, I know that Tie Yi was right. Actually, I have a bad habit - whenever I see a beautiful woman, I get nervous and rub my hands together. Unexpectedly, seeing a female ghost didn't change this habit, it's really embarrassing.

  "What did you mean by waving at me just now?" The little rain ghost said with a mix of concern and longing, unintentionally catching a glimpse of the handsome me, and her previous action was just to take a look at my demeanor and appearance.

  I'm thinking about how this little rain girl ghost wants to devote herself to me, what should I do? Should I sign a contract with her? I'm so conflicted!

  "After we crashed, it was a long time before I felt myself floating up. When I looked around in the air, several of my friends were crying. It wasn't until I lowered my head that I saw myself and them covered in blood inside the car, looking like they had fallen asleep. That's when I realized, we were all already dead!" Little Rain, the female ghost, burst into tears, her face streaked with rain, and several times I unconsciously wanted to lend her my sturdy shoulders to lean on and pour out her sorrow.
