Chapter Sixteen: The Corpse Had Vanished

  My heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and the female ghost became frantic after smelling the scent on this clothes, wanting to run away like before under her pursuit was a pipe dream.

  At this moment, Wang Kun had already collapsed to the ground, his life or death uncertain, and there was no hope of rescue. Looking around, it was late at night, and basically, nobody would be passing by to save me.

  "Damn it, I'm going all out!" I shouted loudly, wanting to survive, still have to rely on myself.

  The female ghost grabbed and tore at my right shoulder, my right arm was completely unable to lift. I concentrated all my strength in my left hand, clenched my fist, and heavily smashed it into her face.

  A dull thud, and rotten flesh splattered everywhere, covering my face.

  The female ghost was completely unaffected, and her strength increased, as if she wanted to tear my arm off alive. The rotting flesh on her hand had almost all fallen off, revealing the white bones underneath, and one of her hands suddenly grabbed at my chest.

  Damn it, with this kind of strength, I have no doubt that she would directly grab my heart out. But just as her hand touched the skin on my chest, a white light suddenly flashed by.

  This time I saw it very clearly, the birthmark on his chest lit up, and the female ghost let out a sharp cry, shrinking back her hand and throwing me several meters away.

  I struggled to touch the birthmark on my chest with my hand, why is this birthmark still shining? Last time I was almost strangled to death by a vengeful spirit, it seemed that the birthmark also shone once.

  "Whoa, I have a protective divine light?" I was overjoyed.

  After all this trouble and excessive bleeding, I was originally so weak that I could hardly stand up, but now I feel like my whole body is filled with strength.

  I quickly got up and wanted to go see how Fatso was doing, but the female ghost suddenly turned her head and glared at me fiercely. That's right, she was glaring at me.

  Although her eye sockets were only two black holes, at that moment, the two black holes flashed red light, and I could feel that the female ghost was extremely angry.

  A strong thought suddenly arose in my mind, she could have killed me, but was afraid of the birthmark on my forehead, so she hesitated. If I turned around and ran now, she wouldn't dare to chase me.

  I was hesitant, if I ran away, I might be able to escape the danger, and after arriving at the police station, there would be police and Xiao Huan, everything would be safe. But what about Wang Kun? Would the female ghost kill him out of anger?

  "Hey, you wretched servant girl! Stop making a killing in front of the old lady, cease your actions!" A dry voice came over, and I subconsciously turned my head to take a look, it was the old lady selling yellow talismans!

  The old lady's legs and feet were not very agile, just like my grandmother's small feet. She walked slowly and unsteadily. But the moment I saw her, I suddenly felt a sense of security.

  The female ghost suddenly transformed into a normal person after seeing the old woman, her whole body was wet and her face was dark blue. However, her hands did not change back, they were still white bones.

  She glared at me with a resentful gaze, probably because my earlier flash of white light had caused her hands to become like this. I subconsciously took two steps back, and the female ghost sneered, advancing towards me.

  "Hmph, still not giving up?"

  The old woman snorted, pulled out a yellow talisman from somewhere, and threw it at the female ghost. The yellow paper floated straight onto the female ghost's body, instantly bursting into flames.

  "Ah! Spare me, I dare not...!" The female ghost was surrounded by flames all over her body, with a painful expression on her face.

  Maybe the old woman's heart softened, and the flames grew smaller, with a tendency to go out. I was anxious, rushed to the front of the old woman, and advised: "Auntie, you can't let her go, or she'll harm people again!"

  The old woman glared at me: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things. If she really had a mind to harm people, do you think that fat guy would still be alive? Go take a look at your companions."

  I could only helplessly watch as the flames on the female ghost gradually went out, the old woman wouldn't listen to me and I couldn't force her to extinguish that female ghost either.

  However, the old lady didn't cheat me. The fatty just fainted and was fine. He had many injuries on his body, but none of them were fatal wounds, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

  The female ghost was completely subdued by the old woman, kneeling at her feet and crying, saying something that I couldn't understand. All I could see was their mouths moving constantly, and I heard the female ghost sobbing, but I couldn't hear any useful information.

  After a moment, the old woman suddenly waved her hand and the female ghost disappeared. I blinked my eyes, there was no trace of the female ghost around me, had she finally been eliminated?

  The old woman walked shakily to my side, her expression unyielding, and said faintly: "Young man, she's also a pitiful soul. Help her find her body back, and she'll never bother you again."

  "Recover the body?" I was puzzled.

  "That's right, only after she rests in peace can she head to the Yellow Springs Road. If you can bury her body, there might even be unexpected gains." The old lady explained solemnly.

  I furrowed my brow, I had no relation to her, why should I help with the burial? Besides, the body was at the police station, and her relatives would definitely come to claim it later, so I wasn't needed anyway.

  She told the old lady her thoughts, and the old lady shook her head expressionlessly and handed me an incense stick. The incense stick was very thick, about the size of a finger, one end had already started burning, it felt icy cold in my hand.

  "Go, I can only help you this far. Before the incense burns out, if you can't let her rest in peace, you'll never be able to shake off her entanglement. Your fate is not something that an old woman like me can change. Perhaps only by following the same path as us will you have a chance to change your own fate." As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman suddenly vanished into thin air right in front of me!

  Damn, this is too scary! The old lady won't be a ghost too, right? I took a look at the incense in my hand and threw it out without hesitation. Whatever, I'm not looking for trouble.

  After throwing it away, I regretted it. That incense stick was actually transformed by a female ghost! After falling to the ground, the female ghost let out a miserable cry and revealed her true form, with her hair burning.

  "Save me! Otherwise, I won't let you go!" The female ghost's face was ferocious.

  In the blink of an eye, the female ghost disappeared and turned into a burning incense stick, quietly lying on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, I still picked up that incense stick.

  No matter what, I'll just bring this incense to the police station and that's it. When the time comes, Xiao Hua will definitely resolve the female ghost, and the female ghost's body is still at the police station. At worst, when the time comes, I'll spend some money to cremate her.

  Wang Kun was still unconscious, I couldn't move him, so I had to call Ma Zhiguo and ask him to send someone over. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Hua and the police arrived.

  "Bring the incense over!" Xiao Huan saw through it at a glance and asked me for the incense.

  This thing is a hot potato to me, I don't need it, and without hesitation, I handed it over to Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan didn't even look at me properly, took the incense, and walked aside to study it carefully.

  Ma Zhiguo had two police officers lift up Pangzi and send him to the hospital. I wanted to follow along, but Xiao Huan suddenly called out to me.

  "Is this your method?" Xiao Huan asked with a frown.

  I gave him a cold glance: "If I had the ability, would I need you to come over? Anyway, this incense is a female ghost, hurry up and bury her body, otherwise she will come out to harm people again."

  Xiao Huangbai gave me a glance: "I knew you didn't have this skill, I really don't know how your elders taught you. However, whose master's move is this? Did one of your elders come?"

  His words sound awkward to me, and I feel like he's sarcastic towards me. We two don't get along, that's nothing, but speaking disrespectfully to elders is a bit too much, isn't it?

  "Xiao Huang, what do you mean? Don't think that just because you're a rascal, I'm afraid of you! When fighting, don't hit the face, when scolding, don't expose the shortcoming. Are you determined to be my enemy?" I shouted loudly.

  Xiao Huan took a deep breath and coldly said, "I hit you because you deserved it. However, I didn't mean to scold you, so don't take advantage of your elders at home and be arrogant in front of me."

  Damn, I'm really angry now. Ma Zhi Guo had already investigated me thoroughly and knew everything about my family situation. My grandfather's mental illness, my dad's disappearance... Xiao Huan wouldn't be unaware of these things, he's just humiliating me.

  I was about to roll up my sleeves and give him a good beating, only to find that I was wearing short sleeves and didn't have any sleeves to roll up. Ma Zhiguo saw the situation wasn't right and quickly pulled me back.

  "Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Now hurry back to the temple and burn the corpse, that's the right thing to do, can't let the female ghost continue to cause trouble."

  Ma Zhiguo, although middle-aged and slightly paunchy, was a trained policeman. He grasped my joints with his hands, rendering me immobile. Furthermore, given my current injuries, even if I were to rush forward, it's uncertain whether I'd be a match for Xiao Hua, so I could only temporarily give in.

  Pangzi was sent to the hospital, and my injuries were not light either. I originally wanted to stay in the hospital with Pangzi and ignore everything else. Who knew that the nurse casually bandaged me and said I could leave.

  I was unwilling, of course. The female ghost had grabbed my calf and almost dislocated my shoulder. How could the nurse be so irresponsible? After arguing for a few sentences, the nurse opened my bandage and let me take a look myself.

  I didn't expect the wounds on my legs and shoulders to have almost healed, and they don't hurt at all. I was stunned, could this also be the effect of that white light from before?

  I ripped open my clothes and stared at the birthmark on my chest, what is this thing? Am I like the male protagonist of that novel, born with a special gift, with a divine light to protect me or something?

  "Hooligan, what are you doing?"

  I was so absorbed in the moment that I forgot the nurse was still there. The little nurse had seen many bodies before, and she gave me a disdainful glance, then roughly bandaged my wound, causing me to gasp in pain.

  The wound had just been bandaged when the phone rang. It was Ma Zhiguo calling. He and Xiao Huan had already returned to the police station earlier, leaving only two civil police officers to escort me and Wang Kun to the hospital.

  "Wu Tian, Zhao Mei's body is gone!" After connecting the phone, Ma Zhiguo stunned me with one sentence.
