In the eyes of ordinary people, they could only see the female ghost standing beside Wei He.
But in Nian Nian's eyes, it was a different scene.
The female ghost was covered in thin, wispy red threads.
Those red threads flickered on and off, barely visible.
They bound her limbs and torso.
The other end of the red threads was connected to Wei He.
The binding positions were exactly the same as those on the female ghost.
This person and this ghost were like a puppeteer and a manipulated puppet.
When Wei He raised her hand, the female ghost would also raise her hand.
When she took a step forward, the female ghost would float forward a step as well.
Thunder rumbled again.
Suddenly, a scream erupted on the dead - silent rooftop.
"Ghost!!"
The resentful ghost revealed itself, and everyone on the rooftop was so frightened that they let out panicked cries.
But unfortunately, the rooftop was only so big and extremely open. They could only huddle in the corner and had nowhere to hide.
Wang Qi and his little followers were huddled together, shivering.
The cold rain lashed at their bodies. It was hard to tell if they were scared by the ghost or chilled by the cold.
And when Guan Peng saw the female ghost reveal herself with a face exactly the same as Wei He's, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The calmest one among them was Nian Nian.
Although Yu Sheng was a bit scared at first, when he really saw the face of the female ghost, he didn't feel that scared anymore.
Before, when he couldn't see the female ghost, that sense of something intangible and always following him made him feel terrified.
But when he could actually see it, that fear weakened a lot.
"Yu Sheng! Didn't you say you invited a Taoist priest to help? Where is the person you invited! Contact them quickly!"
Wang Qi was already scared out of his wits at this moment.
Those who have done something wrong are afraid of ghosts knocking on their doors at night.
Even if they claim to be atheists and act tough, it's just a pretense of calm.
He kept roaring, as if Yu Sheng was his last hope.
But no one paid any attention to him. Nian Nian just glanced at him and then refocused all her attention on Wei He.
"Sister, where did you get your tattoo from?"
Nian Nian's focus wasn't on this. Seeing the tattoo with the spell again, she couldn't help but think of Xu Nuannuan and Director Yan.
"I got it tattooed myself."
"Ah?"
The little girl's mind went blank for a moment.
The little sister got it tattooed herself?
But looking at the little sister, she seemed to be about the same age as her brother.
Senior Brother Three said that the Holy Cult had started to make plans before she was born.
Counting back, how old was the little sister six years ago?
Ten? Nine?
It was unlikely that she was the one involved in the plan.
"Little Taoist priest, you and your brother are good people. After I avenge myself, you can leave."
When facing the little girl, Wei He's attitude was surprisingly gentle.
Nian Nian tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned her gaze to Wang Qi and his group huddled in the corner.
"A puppet ghost has lost two of its three souls and three of its seven souls. It is controlled by the ghost - controller and has no thoughts of its own. Sister, are you avenging her or yourself?"
Nian Nian was a bit confused now.
To refine a ghost into a puppet ghost, one must damage the original soul of the ghost, completely depriving it of the chance to be reincarnated.
Just from their looks, the one who really had a karmic connection with Wang Qi was Wei Xi, the resentful ghost who had been refined into a puppet ghost.
And Wei He, who was standing right in front of her, didn't have much of a connection with Wang Qi.
This person and this ghost were closely linked.
They seemed to be twin sisters because of their blood - related bond.
If it was for her own revenge, Wei He didn't need to go through so much trouble.
With a puppet ghost at hand, the controlled ghost could kill these ordinary people in an instant.
But if it was for Wei Xi's revenge.
Why did Wei He refine her into a puppet ghost and make her never be able to be reincarnated?
Nian Nian's thoughts were in a mess. She always felt that something was wrong and couldn't figure it out.
"Are you a Taoist priest?"
Wei He looked at Nian Nian in surprise. She didn't expect this little girl to be able to point out the situation of the resentful ghost at once.
Seeing her wearing a Taoist robe, she originally thought it was just a child's prank.
"Yes, I'm a Taoist priest. Sister, every wrong has its perpetrator. The one who really has a feud with them is the resentful ghost sister beside you, not you."
Compared to the appearance of a ghost, the fact that Nian Nian was a Taoist priest seemed even more shocking.
Wang Qi, who was huddled in the corner, looked at Nian Nian with an expression of disbelief. His lips were trembling, and he couldn't hold back his irritable temper.
"You... You're a Taoist priest? Isn't this... Yu Sheng, this is the helper you said you found?!"
"Tsk."
Yu Sheng rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Even if his sister was the helper he found, she wasn't here to help Wang Qi.
If this person were to jump off the building right in front of him now, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity.
"Little girl, are you going to stop me now?"
Wei He lowered her head, with a gentle look in her eyes and a smile on her lips, but her tone was extremely cold.
"Yes. She has become a puppet ghost, and all her actions are controlled by you. So revenge is not her subjective will. If it's a matter of karmic retribution, I can ignore it, but now she has no thoughts."
Nian Nian nodded very honestly.
She felt a bit sorry for this puppet ghost sister in her heart.
She died full of resentment in her lifetime, probably having experienced very painful things.
After death, she was actually used by her twin sister.
It really wasn't right.
Having made up her mind to stop them, Nian Nian calmly took out a peach - wood sword from her small satchel.
Seeing her do this, Wei He actually laughed. Suddenly, she pointed at Yu Sheng and asked, "Is he your brother?"
The little girl didn't quite understand. What did her second brother have to do with the upcoming fight between the two of them?
But since the other person asked, Nian Nian didn't mind answering.
"Yes, he's my second brother."
"Then do you know what your brother has been through? You came here to help your brother, right? Then you shouldn't stop me even more. After all, the person I'm going to kill also has a feud with him. Do you want to ask if your brother wants him to die?"
After Wei He said this, strange red lights suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Nian Nian subconsciously turned around and looked at Yu Sheng, only to find that Yu Sheng had somehow walked up to Wang Qi.
He raised his hand, looking as if he was going to grab Wang Qi.
Nian Nian's pupils suddenly shrank. She quickly rushed in front of Yu Sheng in three big steps.
She grabbed him back.
When she turned around again, her eyes were filled with anger.
Wei He was amused by the little girl's fierce look. She laughed maniacally, looking up at the sky.
"Hahahahaha, little girl, if you don't want me to kill someone, then let your brother do it. Anyway, we all have a common enemy. Who kills him doesn't matter, right?"
Nian Nian pursed her lips and glanced at Yu Sheng out of the corner of her eye.
Her second brother was being controlled.
What should she do?
Nian Nian actually couldn't quite figure out what kind of tricks Wei He was playing.
To be able to quietly control Yu Sheng right in front of her, she must not be an ordinary person.
But the most urgent thing now was to pull Yu Sheng out of the controlled state.
The problem was, how could she do it?
Nian Nian thought for a while and took out a bronze gong from her small satchel.
This bronze gong was collected by her master from the owner of a coffin shop before.
It was said to have the effect of calming the soul.
If she hit the gong loudly, maybe her brother would wake up?
Nian Nian had never tried the effect of this bronze gong before, and she had never seen her master use it either.
After it was collected, it had been sitting in the corner, gathering dust.
But as long as it was something her master said, it should be right.
The little girl had great confidence in her master. She only hesitated for 0.001 seconds before picking up the gong and hitting it hard.
Dong!!
The sound of the bronze gong was extremely loud. No one knew how much strength the little girl had used.
When the sound of the gong rang out, an invisible ripple spread around the rooftop.
Wei He covered her ears in pain, and the resentful ghost was almost shaken to pieces.
As the person hitting the gong, Nian Nian heard the sound of the gong most clearly.
She was so shaken that her head was dizzy, and she couldn't tell up from down.
Everyone on the scene was shaken rigid by the sound of the gong.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from downstairs.
Wei He shook her head and glared fiercely at Wang Qi.
"Wait for me. I'll come back. You must die by my hand."
After saying this, Wei He actually leaped and jumped directly from the fifth - floor balcony.
She disappeared into the night.
The door to the rooftop was quickly broken open, and a group of teachers came up.
Seeing a few students shivering and huddled in the corner, and a chubby little girl holding a bronze gong in her hand, they were all stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
"Was the sound just now made by this child?"
"I think these kids don't look right. Hurry up and help them out. Send them to the school infirmary first!"
The teachers were all talking at once. They either supported or carried the remaining people who hadn't recovered yet downstairs.
They were directly sent to the school infirmary, and the parents were notified to come and pick them up.
And little Nian Nian was now looking at Yu Sheng with a blank look in her eyes.
She scratched her head in distress.
She let out a silent sigh.
Oh no, things had gone out of control.
When the sound of the gong rang out, the little girl had already felt that something was wrong.
In the past, she often left her body in her soul and went out to play.
This had made her soul a bit unstable. Later, her master strictly forbade her to go to the underworld or leave her body in her soul. She had gotten better in the past two years.
Just now, when the sound of the gong rang out, she clearly felt that her soul was leaving her physical body. It was the same feeling as when she left her body in her soul, except that this time it was involuntary.
When she found that the situation was developing in a wrong direction, Nian Nian wanted to quickly return to her physical body to stabilize her soul.
But somehow, there was a suction force coming from Yu Sheng beside her, which sucked her soul over.
Now, it seemed that she was inside Yu Sheng's body?
Nian Nian was very distressed.
She never thought that the power of the bronze gong could be so great that it even shook her soul out.
What was even more serious was that her second brother didn't wake up because of the sound of the gong.
His soul was also in a blank state.
It seemed that he was immersed in a certain memory.
If she wanted to get out of her second brother's body, she had to make her second brother regain consciousness first.
But now that she was inside Yu Sheng's body, she couldn't use many of her spells.
She had no way to help Yu Sheng wake up either.
What should she do?
The little girl was dumbfounded.
For the first time in her life, she felt a bit at a loss.
She was always very confident when it came to metaphysics, but today she had really taken a big fall.
Sigh...
Nian Nian thought for a while and decided to take a risk and participate in Yu Sheng's memory to pull him out of the memory he was immersed in.
Doing this was a bit risky.
If she wasn't careful, she might be seriously injured by Yu Sheng's consciousness. If she forcibly woke him up from the memory, her second brother might even become a fool after waking up.
Anyway, this was the last resort and the only option left.
She let out a long sigh, frowned, and closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, there was only darkness around her.
"Second brother?"
Nian Nian called out tentatively, but there was no response.
"Second brother?"
After calling out several times in a row, there was still no sound around.
Nian Nian hung her head dejectedly. Just as she was thinking whether the spell had failed, there was finally a sound beside her.
"Who are you?"
This voice sounded a bit young and weak, but the little girl could still tell that it was Yu Sheng's voice.
"Second brother! I'm Nian Nian! Where are you?"
Finally getting a response, Nian Nian was extremely happy. She quickly raised her voice and looked around, trying to find Yu Sheng's figure in the darkness.
But there was still nothing.
Why was it so dark here?
"Yu Sheng, have you decided? Can you treat us to a meal tomorrow?"
Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from not far away.
And Nian Nian finally saw a glimmer of light.
Only then did she finally find Yu Sheng's figure.
He was thin, small, and huddled in the corner. He was very different from the second brother she knew.
This seemed to be a storage room. There were no lights or windows.
Once the door was closed, of course, one couldn't see anything.
The light outside the door was a bit blinding. Nian Nian could only see a figure standing at the door. When the person slowly walked into the storage room, she finally saw who it was.
Ah, it was Wang Qi.
That bad guy who had killed someone.
Yu Sheng, who was huddled in the corner, also raised his head at this time. When he saw Wang Qi, he subconsciously leaned back. His eyes were full of stubbornness, but his body was trembling.
Obviously, Yu Sheng was scared.
"Never. I will never submit to someone like you!"
"Someone like me? What kind of person am I? Tsk tsk tsk. Look at our Second Young Master. A proper rich - kid. How did he end up like this?"
Wang Qi looked down at Yu Sheng with an extremely arrogant smile and full of sarcasm in his words.
He crossed his arms, bent down, giving Yu Sheng a strong sense of oppression. He raised his hand and slapped Yu Sheng's face a few times lightly.
"I hate rich - kids like you the most. If you had just obediently taken out the money, wouldn't everything have been fine? You're always like this. It's a waste of my time and delays your studies."
"I see your parents don't care about you either. Don't they even give you money? Oh dear. How could the Second Young Master of the Yu family be so down and out?"
