I sent Wang Yingxiu's child into the cycle of reincarnation.
However, Wang Yingxiu was still deeply haunted by her obsession. She would rather miss the chance of reincarnation herself than let Song Yixuan off.
She wanted to watch him suffer retribution in this life and make his remaining days a living hell!
Filled with boundless venom and hatred, Wang Yingxiu vanished through the bedroom wall.
Just then, I heard someone pounding on the front door of the living room loudly.
"Open the door, open the door!" a gruff voice came through the door. "The police are here to ask some questions."
A Jian glanced at me and pointed at the little ghost trapped within the red string on the bed. "The cops are here. What should we do with him?"
"Er..."
I knew that Wang Yingxiu throwing Song Yixuan downstairs would surely attract the police's investigation, but I didn't expect them to come so soon.
The little ghost I had brought back from the Hyatt City had already tossed the candy aside. He kept kowtowing and bowing to me inside the circle of the red string. "Sister, save me... Don't remove the red string!"
"Why?" I asked in surprise.
"If the red string is gone, I'll be gone too. I'll be captured!"
The little ghost pointed out of the window fearfully. "No matter where I am, my dad will catch me..."
"Okay! I won't move it. And you're not allowed to move around either!"
I immediately understood what the little ghost meant. The guy who had refined the five little ghosts controlled the substitutes of their souls. Fortunately, I had sealed his soul with talisman paper and the red string before. Otherwise, he would probably have been taken back by that crazy guy.
While warning the little ghost, I walked out of the bedroom towards the door.
The knocking on the door outside became even more urgent, as if they would break in the next second.
When I opened the door, A Jian had already returned to his soul - storage jar. He always said that the officers had too much positive energy on them, which made him uncomfortable.
Sure enough, there were two policemen standing outside the door, an older one and a younger one.
Seeing that I finally opened the door, the young policeman in his twenties frowned. "What's going on? Why are you so slow?"
I glanced at him. He was young and full of vigor, with a sharp and imposing face full of youthful sharpness.
"Check the time, please."
I always don't have a good attitude towards such aggressive people. "Do you expect someone to stand by the door waiting for your knock all the time?!"
The young policeman didn't expect a young girl like me to mock him directly. His face immediately flushed red. "You!! You must have something to hide if you're so slow!"
"Alas, Xiao Fu, how can you talk like that..."
Next to the young Officer Xiao Fu was a middle - aged man in his fifties. He was a bit overweight, but the police uniform still looked good on him.
He glared at Officer Xiao Fu and then said to me with a smile. "Sorry, little girl. My apprentice is a hothead. Don't be angry. We're just here to ask some questions."
Saying that, he took out his police ID and showed it to me.
The dark - blue ID had the name "Xue Donglai" on it.
"Officer Xue, what do you want to ask?"
I asked deliberately.
"A man fell from the building downstairs. He said he was thrown out from Room 315, so we're here to inquire."
Officer Xue got straight to the point, stating his purpose clearly.
Presumably, they had already got some information from Song Yixuan, so they came here so specifically.
"A man? Fell from the building?!!!"
I widened my eyes. "How come I don't know? Is the security here so poor? Are there thieves so blatant?"
"He's not a thief. He's a little star named Song Yixuan. Do you know him?"
Officer Xue waved his hand and still said with a smile. "He broke his spine and some of his ribs. He's delirious and keeps shouting that he was thrown out from your place. So, we're just here to go through the motions and check."
Saying that, he walked straight into my bedroom, leaned out of the window and looked down, then asked me. "It's here, right?"
"Me?"
I pointed at my nose and widened my eyes. "How would I know!"
This Officer Xue seemed easy - going with a smile on his face, but he was quite good at getting information. Fortunately, I had been traveling around with Du Wenzhong for many years. If I were a naive girl, I would surely be tricked into telling all the truth in just a few words.
Officer Xue probably didn't expect me to be such a slippery one. He glanced at me. "You don't seem to have slept. How could you not know someone was by the window?"
"Er..."
I was stunned for a moment. Officer Xue was really observant. After entering the room, he had subtly looked around the whole room. Even the thin red string on the bed hadn't escaped his eyes!
Although Officer Xue couldn't see the little ghost sitting stupidly in the middle of the red string, the rope circle in a strange pattern still intrigued him.
"You know something about the occult..."
Before I could answer his question, Officer Xue had already come to the bedside.
"Don't touch it."
I was afraid he would break the formation that trapped the ghost, so I quickly stopped him.
The little ghost sitting in the rope circle looked even more nervous than me.
If the red string was broken, he would probably be taken back to his father immediately. By then, not only would he not be able to eat snacks and lollipops, but he might also end up like the disobedient little ghost, with his hands and feet burned until the skin was peeled off.
Officer Xiao Fu followed his master and also checked my room. When he saw the soul - storage jar on the table with the seal peeled off, his expression turned ugly.
"Okay, I won't touch it."
Officer Xue spread his hands and smiled at me. Then he pointed at the circles of red string and said. "You're quite an expert on these things, little girl. Can you show it to me?"
"What's there to see! You're having bad luck this year. You're probably in conflict with the annual star. You'd better be more conservative in your actions, or you might suffer from a bloody disaster."
Although Officer Xue had been trying to trick me, he was a quite dedicated policeman. Since he asked me like this, there must be something wrong with him recently.
As a "charlatan" with professional ethics, I naturally had to remind him.
"Humph! Playing the mystic!"
Officer Xiao Fu, who was following Officer Xue, snorted and actually reached out his hand to pull up the red string.
"What are you doing?!!!"
I was greatly shocked. That little ghost might be related to Si Tong's whereabouts, and the scoundrel who used evil methods to refine souls would probably punish these little ghosts who hadn't completed their tasks extremely cruelly.
If Officer Xiao Fu broke the formation of the red string, the little ghost would probably be taken back immediately.
"Slap!"
Just as I rushed to the bedside cabinet to get the soul bottle, Officer Xiao Fu's face suddenly had a dark - purple handprint on it. He was slapped so hard that he took two steps back and bumped into the table.
Immediately afterwards, a small whirlwind suddenly rose out of thin air. The little ghost in the red string let out a scream and was engulfed by it.
The temperature in the room dropped several degrees instantly. The whirlwind, after taking the little ghost, still seemed not satisfied and actually rushed towards me.
"Ouch!"
Officer Xue also saw the little whirlwind swirling around the room. He had good judgment and immediately blocked in front of me.
The ferocious ghost faces howling in the whirlwind, the moment they touched his solemn police uniform, were like ice cubes thrown into a hot oil pan. They made a faint "crackling" sound and then "poofed" out of sight!
