Niannian didn't answer Yusheng's question.
In this world, the ghosts that kill living people are definitely not good - natured.
They are either resentful ghosts full of grievances.
Or fierce ghosts who died out of hatred.
Or they were simply heinous villains even in their lifetimes.
Niannian couldn't be sure what kind of ghosts these people had provoked, nor could she determine which ghost - seeing method had actually attracted the ghosts.
These three types of ghosts formed in different ways might have appeared because there was an enemy of the ghost among those who tried to summon the ghosts.
If so, the targeted person was doomed.
Unless the ghost was directly exterminated.
But that would violate the law of cause and effect, and she would never do that.
The soul haunting them might also simply be a killer.
In that case, all she had to do was find it and get rid of it.
The dead couldn't be brought back, but the living could still be saved.
"I can't be sure either. So I have to go and see them. Could you take me there, Brother A?"
"Of course I can!"
Yusheng nodded vigorously. As long as his younger sister agreed to go, that would be great.
Once Xiaotuanzi nodded, it meant she would do her best.
There was a high chance that his good friend could survive.
"Now tell me what exactly happened to those who have already had accidents, as well as the strange things they've encountered."
Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. Niannian had to gather as much information as possible in advance so that she could make corresponding preparations.
After coming down the mountain, the talismans she had drawn before and the successful ones she used for practice later were basically given to Grandpa Chu to sell.
Now she had very few ghost - expelling talismans in her hand. She couldn't just draw them on the spot if she really encountered a ghost the next day.
"No problem. There were four of them in total participating in the game. My friend was basically dragged in to make up the number and joined halfway..."
Yusheng's friend was Guan Peng.
He was the one who accompanied Yusheng to enjoy the sea breeze after Niannian's birthday party last time.
Even Guan Peng didn't know much about what those three classmates had been through before.
He was forcibly dragged into the game when they were playing the Four - Corner Game.
At that time, those three students skipped evening self - study and were playing games in the abandoned teaching building of the school.
Guan Peng had just come back from climbing over the wall to go online and was waiting for the roll - call.
But when he passed by the abandoned building, he suddenly heard some noises. Out of curiosity, he went to take a look and saw the three of them standing frowning at the door of a classroom.
He casually asked a question, and the three of them immediately invited him to join.
Guan Peng didn't want to agree at all at that time, but one of the girls threatened to tell the teacher about his going online during evening self - study if he didn't participate.
Guan Peng didn't want to be exposed and get a spanking when he got home at night, so he had no choice but to agree.
After that, every time they played the game, they would drag him along.
If he didn't agree, they would tell the teacher.
Guan Peng accompanied them in trying the next five ghost - seeing methods.
Even after they had tried all the ghost - seeing methods, they still didn't see any ghosts.
At that time, Guan Peng and his classmates thought the book was a hoax.
But a week later, they encountered all kinds of unbelievable things.
First, a male classmate got caught in a ghost wall.
It was just a short distance from the third floor to the second - floor restroom, just two flights of stairs, but it seemed like he could never reach the end.
It was not until a teacher roared during a patrol that he was able to break free from the ghost wall.
When he finally saw the path clearly, the male classmate was scared out of his wits and broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought he had been climbing the stairs all the time, but when he came to his senses, he was still on the same floor, and half of his foot had already stepped out of the window. If the teacher hadn't found him in time, he might have jumped.
Then there was the girl who threatened Guan Peng.
When she was in the restroom, she heard sobbing sounds coming from the next cubicle. The sounds were extremely mournful and terrifying. The girl didn't dare to look. Trembling, she buried her head and wanted to quickly get out of the restroom.
But for some reason, the door of the cubicle wouldn't open.
All kinds of insects swarmed in from all directions, densely covering the floor and crawling all over her body.
It was a female classmate passing by outside who heard her screams and dragged her out of the restroom cubicle.
They had encountered many such things.
There were hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and sometimes they couldn't even tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
But none of them had ever seen a ghost.
The things that happened to Guan Peng weren't as dangerous as the others'. He just kept having dreams.
In his dreams, he would always return to the classroom where they played the Four - Corner Game.
He would keep walking inside, patting others' shoulders, repeating the Four - Corner Game, and no matter what, he couldn't see the people playing the game with him.
It was not until the sun rose the next morning that he would break free from this strange dream.
Two of the classmates had accidents, one died and the other was injured.
The injured one somehow fell from the second floor into the flowerbed in the middle. His head hit a stone slab, and he had been in a coma ever since.
The one who died suddenly went crazy during class, rushed out of the classroom, and no one could stop him.
Finally, he broke through the siege of teachers and students, ran onto the road, and was hit and killed by a speeding truck.
To others, these two incidents seemed like accidents, but to those who had experienced these strange events firsthand, they were clearly the work of a ghost.
Guan Peng thought about it but had no one to talk to, so he told Yusheng about it.
Yusheng wanted to save him but didn't know how. Watching his friend's condition getting worse and worse these days, with his spirit flagging, acting crazy, and being like a frightened bird, getting startled by the slightest sound.
He endured for three days and finally couldn't hold back anymore, so he came to find Niannian.
"Okay, I see. Take me to see those two people tomorrow."
Niannian nodded slightly.
She had a general plan in mind.
If this was really the work of a ghost, then the ghost's power probably wasn't very strong.
Its methods only went as far as creating an environment to affect people's physical and mental states.
It would be easy to find it, but the tricky part was protecting the two people who had already been haunted.
It seemed she had to draw more mind - calming talismans tonight.
"Sure, but would it be better for me to take you to the school during the day, or should we arrange a time to meet them at night?"
"When did their accidents happen?"
If it was a relatively weak ghost, it wouldn't dare to come out during the day. Yusheng hadn't mentioned the time of their accidents when he was telling the story.
Niannian quickly asked another question.
