Chen Qianwan was instantly so frightened that he let out a scream.
He would never forget that man's face for the rest of his life.
It was the source of his lifelong guilt and also his lifelong nightmare.
Seeing that Chen Qianwan was extremely scared, Nian Nian snapped her fingers after he had witnessed her power and withdrew his ability to see ghosts.
Chen Qianwan was shaking like a sieve. He nervously glanced at Nian Nian and then at the debt - knife man standing not far away.
"Have you seen clearly? Both the ghost you killed and the debt - knife man over there want your life."
Chen Qianwan rolled his eyes and immediately kowtowed to Nian Nian several times.
Nian Nian slightly dodged to the side, puffed out her cheeks, scanned him emotionlessly, and slowly said, "What do you want to do?"
"Please, little master, save me! I have money, a lot of money!"
"I don't need your money. I just have a few questions to ask you. Why did you get involved with those two ghosts?"
Just by looking at his timid appearance, Nian Nian knew that he didn't have the guts to try to use the ghosts.
There must be someone behind him pulling the strings.
Chen Qianwan's face was twisted, as if he was thinking about whether to tell the truth.
"If you hesitate any longer, I won't care about you. The ghost behind you is extremely fierce. Now, with the aura of me and the debt - knife man suppressing him, he doesn't dare to act rashly. But as soon as we leave, he will kill you immediately. You'd better think it over."
Nian Nian's threat worked.
Chen Qianwan looked around. He couldn't run away now. There was no one he knew around. In this desolate place, even if he shouted, no one would care.
A wise man submits to circumstances. Bowing his head right now was the best choice for him.
"Some time ago, that person had been chasing me. Then a master told me that he could help me solve the trouble. He said he was a member of the Holy Cult and didn't want my money. He only had one condition, which was to ask me to contact these two people. If they had any trouble, I should help cover it up. I had to follow them secretly and report their movements. I only needed to keep an eye on them for a week. I really didn't know they were ghosts!
If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have been with them for so long!"
It was hard to tell how much of what Chen Qianwan said was true and how much was false.
How could he not know they were ghosts?
After those two ghosts possessed others, they didn't know how many lives they had taken. Especially the blood - smeared ghost, which had been eyeing the newborns in the hospital all day long.
Chen Qianwan didn't know how many times he had covered up for those two ghosts.
The Holy Cult?!
Nian Nian's eyes immediately lit up. She couldn't catch the big fish, but she had caught a small fry, and it was still alive!
"Can you still contact that master you mentioned?"
Nian Nian didn't care whether he knew about it or not. Even if he had really been deceived by that so - called master, the fact that he was involved in the killing of the master of the Taoist priest was undeniable.
So he would be punished by law anyway.
"I can contact him."
Chen Qianwan nodded repeatedly.
"Take me to see him!"
"This..."
Nian Nian didn't expect that Chen Qianwan was still hesitating at this moment. He even hesitated about her request.
He was timid and afraid of death. Xiaotuanzi had a sudden idea and said seriously, "If you really don't want to, it doesn't matter. I can find the person myself slowly. You can deal with the ghost by yourself."
One should never show kindness to such a slippery person. If he thought they needed his help, he would surely make excessive demands.
Sure enough, when he heard that he was going to be abandoned, Chen Qianwan finally couldn't sit still: "I can take you there, but you have to wait for a while. That master is always on the move and has no fixed residence. It's impossible to find him on purpose usually.
Only during the monthly member meeting can we see the master. I can be promoted to an intermediate member this month because I've spent enough money.
The master will even spend some time alone with me then."
"How many days do we have to wait?"
"Not long. It's just three days later."
"Okay. You'll stay with us for these three days. We'll send someone to watch you. If we find out that you're up to something, I'll never care about you again."
Nian Nian's words sent chills down the man's spine.
The debt - knife man was okay. After all, he was a living person. Even if he looked imposing, there was still a way to deal with him.
But just thinking about the hideous - faced ghost made him shiver all over.
That was something he couldn't handle.
Even though he believed in his heart that the master who asked him to keep an eye on the ghosts could help him solve the problem, the fact was that he was now in Nian Nian's hands. He couldn't contact the master whenever he wanted, so he had to obey obediently.
Chen Qianwan lowered his head dejectedly, put aside all his little thoughts, and replied sullenly, "Okay, you can rest assured. I'll definitely be obedient these days, but you must guarantee my safety and keep that ghost away from me!"
"You're not in a position to negotiate terms. Come with us."
Nian Nian winked at Meng Chang and then said a few words to the debt - knife man.
After learning about Nian Nian and Meng Chang's identities, the debt - knife man had no objection to the matter of taking Chen Qianwan away for custody and protection first. He was very cooperative.
He just put forward a small request.
"That man is very cunning. My master was so smart but still got deceived. I'm afraid you can't handle him. Can you hand over the task of guarding him to me? Don't worry. I'll never kill him without your permission."
The debt - knife man said in a gruff voice and patted his chest to guarantee after he finished speaking.
His silly look really made Nian Nian laugh.
"No problem. The task of guarding him is yours. You don't need to guarantee anything. I trust the character of you debt - knife men. You come back with us too. This isn't a place to talk. Someone will come later to deal with the scene here."
Someone must come to collect the bodies of the man and woman on the back. That little girl who had been crying in front of the hospital gate didn't know how she would live in the future.
Although they all knew that the little girl's parents had already died, and the ones who came back to life later were just possessed by evil ghosts, for the little girl, it was like losing both her parents overnight.
Nian Nian let out a long sigh.
Just from what they had seen so far, the number of innocent people involved in the bad deeds of the Holy Cult was countless.
This organization must be eliminated at all costs.
But unfortunately, she was also in a difficult situation herself. Before she found her master and senior brother, she had no mood for anything.
She hoped that the clue of Chen Qianwan would be useful.
