Chapter 26: Cold Sweat

  Da Ya was tormented by Qin Zhong and Han Jun, his eyes bulging out, a dark green light shot out from Da Ya's eyes, this time he really lost his temper.

  "Quickly, go to a more open area."

  "The yard is spacious, let's hurry." Han Jun walked ahead, with Qin Zhong and the others following behind him out of the room.

  After dealing with those messy things on his head, Da Ya flew out of the window on the first floor and flew horizontally towards Qin Zhong.

  Qin Zhong was young and agile, dodging quickly. Several people started playing hide-and-seek with him in the courtyard, going back and forth, coming and going.

  Han Jun threw away almost all of those powdered medicines, but none of them had any effect.

  Qin Zhong ran tiredly, his whole body covered in stinky sweat. He was running like this to find the female ghost's weakness, to find an opportunity for him to take advantage of, but after circling around the courtyard more than a dozen times, he still hadn't found any opportunity.

  That Korean military old arms and legs were also running wildly in the yard, but that big tooth was not afraid of anything in the yard. However, after he entered the yard, this so-called ghost-avoiding array of the Korean military, his body began to emit waves of cold frosty white mist.

  Qin Zhong observed this and an idea rose in his mind. He felt that the big tooth's physical strength was gradually being exhausted, and soon, on that heavily made-up face, a faint iron-green color began to appear. He knew that if he continued to run around the courtyard with the big tooth for a while longer, it was very likely that the female ghost would scatter her own ghostly energy, at which point he could counterattack.

  Just as he was thinking this, Dàyá suddenly crashed into a pine tree. Very strangely, from that pine tree fell a round thing, which happened to hit the crown of Dàyá's head, and saw the crown burst into flames. Qin Zhōng saw an opportunity and rushed forward, rushing to Dàyá's side, opening his mouth with a smile: "Hey, is this thing just what you're craving? Then use some strength, I'll help you swallow it."

  Qin Zhong stared at the round pearl, grabbed it with one hand, and slapped it onto Da Ya's face. At that moment, Qin Zhong pushed the pearl into Da Ya's mouth with one hand, then turned around and slapped the back of Da Ya's neck with a loud crack, causing him to swallow the pearl whole.

  Qin Zhong's footsteps were quick, and before the big tooth could react, he had already run to one side: "Haha, you can slowly enjoy the sparks in your belly, or else you'll come out for Grandpa, don't occupy someone's body for nothing."

  Look at the expression on that big-toothed face for a few seconds, and it changes in an instant. At this moment, joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure are all richly expressed on his face. Not long after, the big tooth's belly started to rumble, sometimes bloating up high, and sometimes shrinking very tightly.

  In the blink of an eye, a black shadow darted out from Dàyá's head and fell to the ground with a thud. It knelt down on the ground, its hands supporting itself on the ground, its painful expression truly pitiful. The same red robe and phoenix crown, the iron-green face still had some charm, and among ghosts, it could be considered a beauty. Only the frost on its forehead made Qin Zhong's heart sink.

  If a ghost's forehead is covered with frost, it's called the ghost sweating. This means that the ghost has exhausted its energy or encountered strong yang energy to counterattack, or was injured by some kind of magical object. The main reason for the ghost sweating is that this ghost no longer has the ability to harm people and can only return to reincarnation, and after obtaining yin energy, it can turn danger into safety.

  Qin Zhong deeply understood that at this moment, because he had seen similar introductions in the same book, so he dared to confirm that if he went forward to collect this beautiful female ghost at this time, there would be absolutely no problem.

  He raised his hands with a knife and swayed over: "Hey, do you have anything to do? Do you want me to chop you down and then send you to a temple to be worshipped, so that you won't enter the cycle of rebirth?"

  "Roar!" The female ghost slowly raised her head: "You are not the first to enter the 137th cave, those who died in the 137th cave are so sad. Just as I was preparing for my family that day, a group of devils came to my home and took away my husband, I was humiliated, and then they forcibly injected me with a kind of bacteria called plague spreader. Can you imagine how I could swallow this?"

  "So you went back to the 137th cave to take revenge on those devils?" Qin Zhong asked.

  "But there is still a descendant of the devil, if I don't let him die, my soul will fly away, and I must deal with him to the end." The female ghost said, as if her soul could not support much longer.

  Qin Zhong looked at her painful expression, and put away the two knives in his hand. Han Jun and Mark rushed to Da Ya's side, supporting the exhausted Da Ya into the house.

  Qin Zhong crouched down, this was also his first time facing a fierce ghost face to face. It seemed like they were chatting with each other: "So tell me, how did you find his descendant? And what you said earlier that we're not the first ones to enter cave 137, what's going on? Also, how did you get into this courtyard?"

  "Hehe, I followed the needle in, but after seeing that descendant enter your villa, I came out. However, that guy ran too fast, and I couldn't rush out of this ghost array, so I added hatred towards you." The female ghost said, with more and more frost on her face, looking like she wouldn't last much longer.

  Qin Zhong blinked: "Looking at you, you won't last much longer either. Why don't you go back to the wheel and I'll help you carry the needle?"

  "Thank you, but I have a favor to ask of you. You must agree, otherwise I will never reincarnate and haunt you every day."

  Qin Zhong immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, anyway I also want to investigate the historical data of 137 caves and write them into Manchu archives. You say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you, except for killing people."

  "I don't want you to kill anyone, just collect the evidence of that person's crime and hand it over to the police, that would satisfy me. Also, please help me retrieve my husband's and my own skeletons from cave 137 and put them together, then bury us with a needle, that's all." The female ghost's request was quite reasonable.

  But Qin Zhong immediately broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he heard the words "buried": "Ghostly sister, do you know how much it costs for a living person to buy a grave for you? You're going to take my life!"

  "Hey, I don't have any money, but the phoenix coronet on my head is made entirely of gold. It's enough for me to exchange it for a burial plot, and the rest can be your labor fee. Alright, that's settled then. I'm exhausted, hurry up and let me go back."

  "I don't need to be so generous, do I?" Qin Zhong said, although he wasn't good with money, but since it was handed to him on a silver platter, there was no reason to refuse. He immediately rushed into the house, took out the needle, and let the female ghost enter the needle. Suddenly, he thought of a question and asked the needle, "You want me to help you find your corpse, but how am I supposed to know which pile of corpses is yours?"

  "My husband's bones are in the black fungus experiment room 1, mine are in room 2. The ones on the bed are our bones, and the ones at the door are the devils' bones." After the female ghost finished speaking, she seemed to disappear, and Qin Zhong could no longer feel her presence.

  He glanced at the needle, wrapped it in a paper box and put it in his pocket, muttering to himself: "Looking for trouble, really looking for trouble, and still got stuck with this job. Since I promised someone and took the money, I'll help out." However, Qin Zhong would eventually have to go back to the 137th cave, but he needed to make sufficient preparations this time, and couldn't afford to cause as much trouble as last time. Plus, there was that person who only left footprints and no other signs, rumored to be a descendant of the enemy, which he really should investigate.

  He almost got that bastard locked up in the 137th cell and never came out, thinking of this Qin Zhong was so angry that he couldn't help but want to catch him and teach him a lesson, but what's lacking now is evidence, clues. He decided to take a break at the archives first and let Mark and others go back, if there's anything else, they'll talk about it later.

  Just thinking of this, he put away the phoenix crown and red robe, took a look at the phoenix crown, if this is an antique, it's not just worth the price of gold, it seems that this is also a considerable income. Thinking about it, if you investigate those paranormal events in Manchuria in the future, you'll also need some funds. If possible, you can also collect some antiques as your own source of funding.
