Chapter 1: The Female Ghost Appears, Security Guard Flees

  Li Yancong was shocked and pale, and hurriedly went to press the red alarm button on the wall, but there was no ringing sound, only a strange "clicking" sound, like something heavy was rotating.

  Before I could figure out what was going on, a voice suddenly sounded from behind me: "Heh heh......heh heh......"

  He turned around and saw a person with a stocking on his head, it was a hijacker!

  Li Yanhui pulled out an electric baton from his waist and shouted: "Don't mess around!"

  The hijacker smiled slyly, but the sound was completely different from the previous sneer, making Li Yancong's heart feel a chill. Seeing the man walking step by step towards him, Li Yancong raised his electric baton and pointed at the hijacker: "Don't come any closer! Otherwise..."

  He halted his footsteps, with his right hand's index and middle fingers extended in a sword-like shape, placed in front of his face. He muttered some words, pointed at the electric baton, then continued to walk closer.

  Li Yancong hastily pressed the electric shock button and stabbed forward, but was caught by the hijacker with one hand - not to mention that this guy didn't get electrocuted, he didn't even flinch!

  The electric baton was rendered useless after being subjected to the thief's spell, and Li Yanhui's courage faltered, constantly retreating.

  At this time, another strange sound came over.

  Li Yanhui was bewildered by this series of strange and bizarre events, his spirit nearly collapsing. He stared at the police who still hadn't arrived and trembled as he asked: "Are you human or a ghost?"

  That bandit didn't speak, but a resentful female voice rose up: "I was once human... now I'm dead and it's so miserable..."

  Li Yanhong's two legs were trembling non-stop, and he cried out strangely: "Who? Who? Who is that?"

  The bandit took a step forward, speaking in a hoarse voice with a sinister laugh: "You're still trying to be a security guard? You want to call the police? I'll help you!" As he spoke, he muttered to himself and stretched out his left hand, pressing the knife handle on the alarm button: "Let's see if the police come or not."

  Suddenly, another strange sound started.

  Li Yancong's eyes widened in shock: a female ghost with a chaste appearance, suddenly emerged from the wall behind the hijacker, lowering her head, with all her hair hanging down in front of her face. One leg was black and the other white. She slowly walked towards Li Yancong, her body twisting strangely, extremely eerie.

  The poor security guard couldn't take it anymore and sat down on the ground with a thud. The bandit then chanted some more, raised his right hand, clenched his fist tightly, and shouted: "Halt!" The female ghost immediately stopped moving, not making a single move.

  "This kind of ghost-controlling magic, to Li Yancong, was truly unheard of. His teeth chattered and knocked together, and he couldn't speak clearly: 'You... you want... what do you want to do?'"

  "Listen up! I am the Demon-Slaying Master, and to avoid revealing my identity, I have come here with a veil over my face. You too have seen that this place has unclean things, but they have already been subdued by me. I was going to let you die in your sleep, but for someone as insignificant as you, there's no need to waste my magical powers. Leave quickly and don't look back. If you do, you will surely die."

  "Where am I supposed to go?"

  The bandit pointed to the warehouse door and said, "You can leave from this door, turn right, then turn right again, and run straight forward. As you run, recite in your mouth: 'Evil spirits disperse, hurry up like a law enforcement order.' Only then can you be safe and sound. Go quickly!"

  Li Yanhui took a step back: "There's blood on the ground, how can I face people tomorrow?"

  The bandit leader said calmly, "Tomorrow these bloodstains will disappear on their own, don't worry! Otherwise, you'll be possessed by an evil spirit and your soul will scatter, dying a wrongful death here! Also, today's matter, absolutely do not mention it to anyone, otherwise you'll provoke the fierce ghost, and whether Liu Xianxian can remain healthy is hard to say!"

  Li Yancong's pupils almost stuck together, and he hastily said: "It has nothing to do with Xiaoxiao! Don't drag her into this!"

  "Get out of here, fast!" The bandit shouted and cursed, Li Yanzhu was so scared that he rolled and crawled to get up, ran towards the outer gate, and deliberately took a detour to avoid the terrifying long-haired female ghost.

  Li Yanhui ran out of the warehouse, and the sound of pia's footsteps faded away.

  The hijacker bent down, picked up the box that was rolling on the ground, moved it to the side, and then picked up the wooden board on the ground and carried it to a distant place, leaning against the wall; removed the shell of the alarm device, which contained a plastic bag filled with water. The hijacker took out the plastic bag and put the shell back on another wall.

  When the bandits ran back, the female ghost had already tied her hair back, revealing her true face. It was Mingying. As she combed her hair, she said, "Why scare people like this, what's the point?"

  I spread out my hands and said, "Alright. Almost got into trouble, if we can just muddle through this and get away with it, that's all the better. Let's hurry up and go."

  As for Li Yancong, who was frightened by my tricks, I can only say sorry. Moreover, I heard that in the Songjiang New Bridge area, there is still a legend circulating about a warehouse being haunted by a female ghost and being subdued by a mysterious Taoist priest.

  Mingying didn't say a word, she just looked at me twice, and I quickly turned around. Behind me came the sound of tearing stockings. For some reason, hearing this sound made my heart feel a little strange, a kind of extra stimulation. After she finished tearing, I put on a mask and handed one to her too.

  Mingying still had an expressionless face, took the mask and put it on, followed me running out of the warehouse, locked the big door. Left the gatehouse and left the range of this warehouse area.

  "How did you get here?" I asked.

  "The electric car is in the thicket of trees across the street," Mingying said, and then walked towards the opposite side of the road.

  "Hey, you're not going to leave me behind, are you?" I hastily followed, "This place is a desolate mountain wilderness with no one in sight!"

  She didn't say anything and just kept walking forward.

  I was muttering behind her that she couldn't just abandon me like this, and I hadn't abandoned her even when things were so critical. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and asked, "Who's been messing with the corpse again? Let me go take a look."

  I was suddenly speechless, silently reciting in my heart "A good man does not fight with a woman, a good man does not fight with a woman... suffering is minor, can't go back home, it's a big deal..."

  When we arrived at where she parked her electric bike, both of us were shocked: the electric bike had been stolen.

  Mingying hummed and walked towards the left. I shone my flashlight on the ground, where there was a deep tire track. It's almost time for Shanghai's plum rain season, and it had just rained yesterday, so the soft earth had left tire tracks, which wasn't surprising. The question was, when exactly did they steal the car, and how long ago? Following the tire tracks, even with a direction to go, once on the main road, there were no more traces, probably because it was mostly gone.

  Unexpectedly, after walking about 200-300 meters into the woods, I saw an electric bike lying on the ground, with a person beside it, lying on the ground and convulsing non-stop, making a mournful humming sound.

  Mingying quickly stepped forward and kicked the back of the man's head with the edge of her sports shoes, immediately knocking him unconscious.

  It's making me dizzy. This woman is actually a master who knows how to attack the weak points of the human body, and this kick was just right, not too heavy or light. If it had been any heavier, it would have damaged my brain stem, causing difficulty breathing and death. And...

  This Mingying is fully equipped from head to toe with electric batons and stun guns, even her electric motorcycle can release electricity to catch thieves, she's just like the violent female cop in X-Men.

  She turned her head and gave me a sideways glance. I quickly ran after her in small steps, picked up the electric bike, and then turned my head to look at her again.

  She saw the look in my eyes and didn't say much, walked over, fiddled around under the seat, and turned off the switch that connected the battery to the handlebars.

  I only dared to grab the handlebars and push forward, otherwise I would have been electrocuted by the electric terminals on the handlebars of the electric tricycle like that thief, falling to the ground in convulsions.

  All the way without a word. After walking out of the forest, I lit a fire and she sat on the back seat with her legs crossed. I smiled awkwardly and said, "Otherwise, you can hold my waist, or else you'll fall off." She hummed and said, "You talk too much nonsense, otherwise, you get off, I can ride back myself."

  I stuck out my tongue, twisted my hand and quickly moved forward, saying: "Then I'll go to Minhang Development Zone Station on Line 5."

  She didn't object. I continued on my way. For some reason, I felt a thrill in my heart - this woman named Mingying was meticulous and intelligent, seemingly always with a hint of hostility towards me, yet she knew the way to cooperate. The key was: with just one glance, one movement, she would know what I wanted to do.

  "Who is Liu Xixi?" Mingying suddenly asked.

  "Li Baoan's granddaughter."

  "Do you know this Li Baoan?"

  "When I went to the gatehouse to soak the electric rod and throw it away, I saw his mobile phone. There was a text message from someone named Liu Feng, who called Li Yancong "Dad" in the message, and also mentioned his daughter Xiao Xiao. Since they have different surnames, calling him "Dad" must mean he's her son-in-law. His daughter Liu Xiao Xiao is actually Li Yancong's granddaughter."

  "I said," Mingying's hand grasped the iron bar on the back seat of the electric car, paused for a moment and said, "If you don't talk nonsense, will you die or get pregnant? Just state the facts, I'll analyze it myself."

  Death or pregnancy, this is my usual phrase! After hearing this sarcastic remark, I couldn't help but feel flames rising from my heart and evil growing in my gallbladder. I hated to make a sudden turn and throw her out of the back seat. Silently counting numbers in my mind to suppress my anger.

  "How did you get in?" she asked again, "That mechanism, one person should not be able to enter. Moreover, you even dragged a corpse."
