Chapter 13 Car Accident 13

  Qin Fei took a deep breath and suddenly turned his head. Behind him was the pedestrian path that stretched far into the distance under the night road lights, nothing was seen, but Qin Fei knew that thing was not far from him, and for some reason it stopped approaching in the instant he turned his head, although that cold feeling was as if that thing had already stuck to him...

  Zhang Zhi Xin is not in S city at the moment, he can't call Zhang Zhi Xin for help like before... No, even if Zhang Zhi Xin was in S city, he couldn't ask for his help now. The thing that's approaching him, even with Zhang Zhi Xin here, would just be another target to attack. It's not a judgment based on any concrete evidence, but Qin Fei feels that with Zhang Zhi Xin's abilities, he's no match for this thing - the ominousness, danger and ferocity it brings far exceeds anything he has ever encountered before.

  What can I do now that I'm alone? After thinking about it, there's only one solution: "run".

  Qin Fei slightly adjusted his somewhat urgent breathing and took off in a sprint. The thing behind him, not unexpectedly, immediately gave chase the moment Qin Fei started running.

  Qin Fei was well aware that running like this, he wouldn't be able to shake off the thing following him. His physical strength wasn't up to par and his athletic ability was also very poor. An ordinary person could already outrun him, let alone a non-human entity. Of course, Qin Fei wasn't blindly fleeing without a plan. His residence had talismans left behind by Zhang Zhixin that were quite effective against evil spirits. Although they couldn't guarantee to completely ward off the thing chasing him, at least those talismans could conceal his aura, causing the thing chasing him to lose its target.

  It's not far from his residence, and it usually takes only ten minutes to walk, but because of being followed by that thing, Qin Fei didn't dare take the original small path. The dark places on the small path were too many, and it was easy to be dragged into the underworld by evil spirits. Therefore, Qin Fei chose a road with broad roads and bright streetlights. The only certainty is - taking this detour will make the return journey longer.

  Qin Fei's physical condition was poor, which doomed his physical strength and athletic ability to be terrible. He couldn't maintain a fast run for long, and soon his speed slowed down. His rapid breathing made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

  But soon I will be home, just around the next corner...

  Just as he was turning at the intersection, Qin Fei felt his ankle being grabbed hard, and his body suddenly lost its balance, falling forward.

  It's all over!!

  Qin Fei's heart turned cold, just as he thought he was sure to fall, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him, grasped his wrist and pulled him back from the brink of losing balance.

  Qin Fei turned his head to look at the owner of that hand and unexpectedly saw a familiar face - Gu Yin.

  However, before Qin Fei could recover from his astonishment at seeing Gu Yin at this time and place, Gu Yin pushed him to one side, without even a glance, took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "I've been looking for you for a long time, little ghost."

  After Gu Yin's voice fell, a girl appeared in the not-too-distant place that was originally empty. A four or five-year-old girl, wearing a red coat, with blood flowing from her forehead, and one of her two braids scattered...

  Jia Jia... The girl Qin Fei had seen once at the scene of a car accident, the missing girl that Song Meng and Zhou Jun were looking for, but... this girl was already dead. Whether it was Qin Fei's own inference before or the way this girl appeared just now, both clearly indicated that... the girl in front of them did not belong to the world of the living, but was a ghost.

  "Where is your corpse?" Just as Qin Fei was staring blankly at the little ghost who used to be called Jiajia, Gu Yin spoke again.

  However, this time was the same as last time in the hospital. The little ghost did not answer Gu Yin's question, but instead stared at Qin Fei beside Gu Yin with her cold eyes, without blinking.

  Qin Fei glanced at Gu Yin beside him, then looked back at the little ghost staring at him and asked somewhat hesitantly: "Does she want to tell me something?"

  "She probably meant to say, you look delicious." Gu Yin said with a sideways glance at Qin Fei.

  "Huh?" Qin Fei looked at Gu Yin with confusion again.

  "The fierce ghost devours the soul, it's an instinct, just like a hungry beast preys on its prey. Ordinary ghosts are their food, and people with unstable souls are also their targets." Gu Yin paused for a moment, then continued, "For the fierce ghosts that linger in the mortal world, people with unstable souls have a much greater attraction to them than ordinary ghosts do. The soul of a living person can strengthen their power to linger in the mortal world. But people with stable souls have strong yang energy, they generally won't take the initiative to find them, but for people like you with unstable souls, it's like an open bag of delicious food."

  So that's it - this little demon just wants to devour his soul, right? But despite being a fierce ghost, the eyes staring at him looked so sorrowful...

  Qin Fei pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, still stubbornly saying: "I still think she has something to say to me."

  Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "Are you going to listen to nonsense?"

  Qin Fei: "......"

  "There's nothing good to hear, the living and the dead are entangled, it's better not to get too deep." Gu Yin said, raising his hand, a silver light floated on his fingertips, as he gestured in the air, a string of silver characters appeared in front of him.

  Qin Fei gazed at the scene before him in astonishment, and compared to Zhang Zhi's ghost-expelling scene, Gu Yin's painting made him feel particularly high-end. However, he didn't get to appreciate this high-end painting for long, when he heard a sharp whistle filled with murderous intent, the little ghost opposite him twisted her face, blood continuously seeping out of her forehead, flowing all over her face, looking gloomy and venomous.

  "Uh... mom...... mom......" The intermittent words came out of the little demon's mouth, not in a dead language, but in a language that belonged to the living, so not only did Gu Yin understand, but Qin Fei also understood clearly.

  Gu Yin's brush movement paused, and he turned his head sideways, his face subtly sizing up Qin Fei: "Are you a mother?"

  Qin Fei: "...... No, I'm quite sure I'm a rooster."

  "But she's looking at you..."

  Gu Yin's words were not yet finished, when the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of that little ghost transforming into a dark shadow rushing towards Qin Fei. His face suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hand to block it, but was a step too slow. The dark shadow dodged his hand and rushed straight at Qin Fei. Gu Yin's face instantly became extremely unsightly, but in the next instant, his eyes revealed an uncontrollable astonishment. The little ghost transformed into a black shadow that rushed straight at Qin Fei, but just as it touched Qin Fei's chest, a golden light flashed rapidly across Qin Fei's body. The little ghost let out a mournful cry and fled towards the small alley on the opposite side of the road.

  Most of the night, Gu Yin would not appear in such a place, completely following that little ghost's breath. He was going to ask her where her body was, and if he couldn't, he would take this little ghost away, he naturally had a way to know where the little ghost's body was. At the hospital last time, he accidentally let the little ghost escape, this time he made up his mind to catch the little ghost. However, at this moment, Gu Yin forgot his original intention, with both hands supporting Qin Fei who was covering his chest and looking uncomfortable, staring at him in surprise.

  At the moment when that little ghost collided with Qin Fei, a halo floated up on his body. Gu Yin was very certain that he hadn't misseen it. The halo could only be seen on the reincarnation of someone who had great virtues in their past life. It was the destiny of those who possessed great virtues, protecting them from being tainted by worldly impurities... And the person he had been searching for all along was precisely the reincarnation of such a person with great virtues.

  It was just that the light halo on Qin Fei's body wasn't strong, but the person's light shouldn't be so weak. Thinking carefully again, if Qin Fei was the person he was looking for, then there shouldn't be a situation where his soul was unstable. A person with great merit is inherently someone who is not easily affected by pollution, and has a very good fortune, without special reasons, they would be worry-free their whole life, and unlikely to encounter great disasters.

  "Where are you uncomfortable?" Although there were still doubts in his heart, Gu Yin's tone when speaking to Qin Fei had softened. He had been searching for that person for so long, but had never met anyone who could be "him", and now - Qin Fei might be that person. Gu Yin's face was still calm, but the waves in his heart were surging up and down uncontrollably.

  Qin Fei didn't notice Gu Yin's abnormality, furrowing his brow and saying: "It's too hot!"

  "Huh?"

  Gu Yan looked at Qin Fei in confusion, and then saw Qin Fei touch his neck to find a red string, and then pulled out the red string to pull out the amulet. Qin Fei was burned by the amulet, and when he was hit by that little ghost, the amulet on his chest was scorching hot like it was about to ignite. At this moment, pulling it out and holding it in his hand, Qin Fei could still feel the abnormal residual heat of the amulet. The lucky bag containing the amulet had not been damaged, but when he opened the lucky bag, the talisman paper inside had turned into a small pile of ashes. Obviously, the scorching sensation he felt just now was not his illusion, but the amulet really burned on his chest for a while.

  Qin Fei looked at the incinerated talisman in the blessing bag and sighed, "This time it's completely ruined, my third uncle will be nagging me for a good while again."

  "I'll help you with one later." Gu Yin said to Qin Fei, looking down.

  "Hmm..." Qin Fei's expression was one of astonishment. He wasn't familiar with Gu Yin, but from their previous two encounters, he could be certain that Gu Yin was not someone who was generous and kind-hearted. So why had he suddenly become so benevolent? Despite his inner doubts, Qin Fei quickly composed himself and thanked Gu Yin politely.

  "It's late, I'll send you back." Gu Yin continued.

  Qin Fei: "......" Has this person eaten something strange?

  Regarding Gu Yin's abnormal state, Qin Fei was very confused, but under Gu Yin's insistence, Qin Fei still let Gu Yin send him back to his residence.

  "Two days later... remember to come find me." Gu Yin reminded Qin Fei of their previous agreement before turning around and leaving.

  Qin Fei didn't look anything like that person, and he couldn't find any similarities between them on Qin Fei's body. However, after the soul stone was buried in two days, he would know whether Qin Fei was really that person or not.
