Two sharp knocks sounded. Inside the room, Feng Chengyuan asked calmly, "Who is it?"
The woman behind the door had a sweet voice. "Mr. Feng, it's me, Su Yue."
Feng Chengyuan frowned, his voice cold.
"What do you want at this late hour?"
Su Yue let out a coquettish laugh. "Can't I come talk to you if there's nothing important? Please open the door first."
There was a moment of silence in the room. Then Feng Chengyuan said, "I don't think I have anything to talk to Miss Su about."
Su Yue seemed not to expect Feng Chengyuan to refuse so straightforwardly. After a long moment of stupefaction, her voice was tinged with sobs. "It's so dark in the room. It's just me and Nannan here. I'm so scared."
Feng Chengyuan replied, "If you're afraid of the dark, turn on the light. Telling me won't solve the problem."
Su Yue whimpered again. "But it's so cold in the room."
"Turn on the air - conditioner."
"I did, but it's still cold."
"Then rub your hands to generate heat."
Su Yue:......
Damn it, such a straight - laced man!
Why was it so hard for her to absorb the spiritual energy from Feng Chengyuan to reshape her spiritual body?
Su Yue took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then she said reverently, "Mr. Feng, you have such an extraordinary aura. Could you tell me some of your past ghost - hunting experiences?"
After saying that, she sneered silently. She didn't believe that Feng Chengyuan would ignore a woman who admired him so much.
Unexpectedly, Feng Chengyuan answered even more straightforwardly this time, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
"I know nothing about ghost - hunting. You should ask Yu Nian." Feng Chengyuan paused for a moment. Thinking of something, he finally showed a faint smile. "But it's better to go tomorrow. She's already asleep at this time. Waking her up abruptly will make her grumpy."
After that, the room fell silent again. No matter what Su Yue said, there was no response.
Su Yue was stunned for a moment. Then she slowly lay on the door, using her ghostly power to peek into the room. She saw the cold - faced man sitting back in front of the computer nonchalantly, continuing to handle his official business as if he couldn't hear her.
Su Yue's veins on her forehead bulged. Her hands hanging by her side slowly clenched.
She thought Feng Chengyuan would be easy to deceive, but she didn't expect him to be so impervious! It must be because Su Yue's appearance was too ordinary to attract Feng Chengyuan!
Su Yue's black eyes rolled around. Suddenly, she let out a scream. "Master Yu, what's wrong with you?"
With a soft click, Feng Chengyuan's door opened.
Su Yue:......
She guessed right.
Feng Chengyuan frowned as he looked at the empty living room. Then he stared at Su Yue with a gloomy look. "You lied to me?"
Seeing Su Yue's strange smile, Feng Chengyuan finally realized. "You're not Su Yue."
Su Yue laughed sinisterly. "Don't you think it's too late to realize now?" She had calculated the time well. She divided her fragmented soul into two parts. One part trapped Yu Nian, and the other came to lure Feng Chengyuan.
With a bang, all the glass around shattered. Feng Chengyuan felt a gust of cold wind hitting his face. Black air coiled around Su Yue like giant pythons and shot up into the sky.
"As long as I swallow your living soul alive, I can reshape my spiritual body!" Su Yue became more and more excited. Her sharp long fingernails suddenly reached out towards Feng Chengyuan's chest.
But before she could touch Feng Chengyuan, she was suddenly hit away by a yellow talisman.
Su Yue was stunned. She saw a thin figure looking down at her.
Yu Nian sighed softly. "You're really brave to hurt the people around me right under my nose."
Su Yue's eyes were blood - red. She flipped up and countless wisps of resentment turned into sharp blades and slashed towards Yu Nian.
Yu Nian stared at the ghost woman indifferently, making hand seals and chanting spells.
Just as the resentment was about to touch them, a faint golden light shield suddenly appeared in front of Yu Nian and Feng Chengyuan. The resentment was instantly bounced back and rushed towards Su Yue again.
Su Yue's pupils shrank suddenly. She was hit by the resentment and slammed heavily into the wall.
Yu Nian seized the opportunity and suddenly threw a talisman at Su Yue, patting out a blood - red mist from her body.
Su Yue's figure suddenly stopped and she collapsed to the ground.
She slowly opened her eyes, looking confused. "What's wrong with me..." Halfway through her words, she looked up at the floating mist in the air. Her face turned as pale as paper. "Ghost... There's a ghost!"
The red mist slowly condensed in the air. Vaguely, one could see its distorted facial features.
The soul body stared at Yu Nian venomously. "You think you can subdue me like this, you stinky Taoist priest?"
She suddenly started to laugh. The laughter was extremely shrill, filled with deep despair, setting off waves of sound in the small space.
Everyone covered their ears in pain, dazed and not knowing where they were.
The ghost woman seized the opportunity and suddenly flew towards Feng Chengyuan.
Yu Nian's eyes flashed. She kicked the ghost woman to the side, took out a Bagua mirror from her bosom, and with the reflection of the moonlight, a layer of cold light quickly condensed on the mirror surface.
Yu Nian picked up the mirror and slapped it towards the ghost woman, quickly and forcefully.
The ghost woman let out a sharp scream and turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared again.
Zhou Feiyu was stunned. "The ghostly aura was so strong just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye... Where on earth did this ghost come from?"
Yu Nian looked thoughtfully at her own room. Why could the ghost woman freely enter and leave her room, but was blocked by the talismans in other rooms and could only harm people by possessing others?
Could it be...
Yu Nian paced into her room. She closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment. It seemed that an extremely sad emotion was spreading in the air, making it impossible for anyone to feel happy.
Yu Nian looked around the room and stopped beside the bed.
Zhou Feiyu was a bit confused. "What are you standing here for?"
Yu Nian didn't answer. She reached out and tapped on the wall.
"Thud - thud -"
It was an extremely empty echo.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"The wall is actually hollow??"
Yu Nian lowered her eyes. Her feeling was right.
"This is the place."
Zhou Feiyu took out his peach - wood sword half - doubtfully. A sharp sword qi slashed across the wall.
With a rumble, the wall broke open, and it seemed that something was pouring down.
Then, a mass of extremely sticky hair fell from the crack in the wall, with some unknown red fragments mixed in the hair.
Coincidentally, it landed on Zhou Feiyu's feet.
Zhou Feiyu's face turned green then white. "Why is there hair in the wall...?"
Yu Nian picked up the sword and poked around in the wall. With a few soft rattles, strands of hair and bones gushed out like a tide.
Although He Zhiping had seen many ghosts with Yu Nian, he was still so disgusted by the scene in front of him that he turned his head and vomited.
The skeleton was not complete. Many bones had obvious marks of being cut by sharp weapons.
Everyone's faces looked rather grim. What kind of hatred could make someone kill and dismember a person and then wall up the body in the wall?
