Chapter 24: The Ghost Case in the Imperial Capital
??? Because I had been in once, I was quite familiar with that road, so I avoided the security guard first. I carried my things downstairs and pulled the black hat on my head.
It's seven or eight o'clock in the evening now. Some students are still in class, and the surrounding buildings are also lighted, but the wide Mingpan Lake is not bright at all.
I touched the watchtower, and since that day, Zhang Qicheng set up a guard, those few people had never left.
However, they were relatively loose, and the lights were not turned on. Several people sat together and chatted and ate melon seeds and drank white wine.
A group of men stayed together, and there seemed to be no other topics except talking about women. They discussed their experiences in the flower clusters in filth. When they were excited, they would drink a big sip of wine and then laugh.
I put the things under a low tree, took them out of my bag, and touched them along the side of the watchtower.
I wanted to set up a magic array to divide the connection between Mingpan Lake and their sight. I was thinking about taking the risk to go to the front to set up the array, but I was confused when I saw them drinking.
I didn't have to hide it, and I slipped over the wall easily. After putting the things in place, I placed the array in the front, back, left, and right.
Then, in the direction facing them, a jump center was placed. The so-called jump center was to take advantage of the opportunity, pull the middle position out, and then arrange the formation at other positions.
Although this is convenient, it will affect the power of the formation, which is basically half the harvest. However, it is more than enough to deal with a group of drunkards who are getting much faster.
After doing all this, I went back to get the things, and then walked into the formation with a swagger. As I stepped in, I felt the space suddenly twisting. The bodies of the people trembled in one direction. I quickly looked in the direction of me, but I didn't see me standing in front of them.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, they laughed at each other, turned around and continued to drink and chat.
I walked around them with my things on my back, then slid down the slope, and landed steadily beside Mingpan Lake. Because of the clear day, the moon was printed in the Mingpan Lake at this time. The bright moon was like a night pearl, emitting a weak light.
I didn't feel any appreciation at all. I rushed to the door of the dance room with my things on my back and then quickly took off the things. I was afraid that things would change, so I didn't dare to hesitate.
The temperature of the fire emitted by the equipment is indeed high. When the iron on the dance room door touches it, it melts instantly like ice encounters fire.
I kicked open the door of the dance room, and there was still the red dance shoes quietly. From my direction, I could vaguely see its general outline and position.
There was a light in the dance room, just on the side of the door. I reached out and pressed it, and the switch clicked.
The light was not on. I guess Zhang Qicheng had someone pull the electricity, but there was no lighting on my body, so in the end I had to turn the fire in my hand and use it as a huge torch for lighting.
I stepped in with my object on my back, and as soon as I entered, the music I heard that day suddenly rang out.
I stared at the dance shoes with my eyes open. The music rang for about ten seconds, and then it moved. Looking from this direction, under the aftermath of the fire, I finally saw a shadow on the dance shoes clearly.
It was very light and could hardly see clearly. I didn't dare to move around, so I had to watch it jump. There was still no fluctuation of spiritual energy in the space. This strange thing made my scalp numb.
The dance shoes didn't dance for too long. With a hoarse brushing sound, it fell from the air and hit the ground. Because it was a wooden ground, the sound was particularly loud.
My heart moved and I mustered up the courage to take the torch, about one or two meters away from my dancing shoes. A giggle suddenly came from behind.
I heard it, sweating profusely on my back, so I didn't dare to turn around, so I had to continue walking forward, walking to the position of the dance shoes, and then reached out to grab one of the shoes quickly.
As soon as I bought the shoes, a feeling of sadness came over me. My tears couldn't help falling. I didn't want to be sad or sad, but I couldn't stop the tears.
While shedding tears, I choked up and raised the torch to look farther away.
The torch was high and I could see far, but the object was so scared that I screamed and retreated. I took several steps in a row, and my feet were unstable and fell to the ground.
I opened my eyes and looked at the thing opposite me in horror. I saw a person wrapped in a transparent bag. His face was slightly rotten and his body was even more blessed. But these were not the point. The point was that the corpse in the transparent bag was actually someone I knew, and he ran away with me and lived with me for several days. She was Qiuyan who was still waiting for me to return at the door.
She died peacefully, as if she was asleep. If the body had not been decayed, I would have thought Qiuyan had been kidnapped here by them.
I finally understood why Zhang Qicheng had to get the body of Li Si family here, and then a supernatural incident was staged. His deliberate actions were to cover up Qiu Yan who died in the dance room.
But the problem is that when a person dies, he will not be seen by ordinary people. How can Qiu Yan exist in life in a way that a soul body exists and can live normally.
I remembered that there was no appearance of her in the mirror that day, and when I caught her, my abnormal weight made me more sure that Qiu Yan was dead.
But how could she live a normal life in a normal form of soul? I think it's because it's the piece of jade that Zhang Qicheng has been looking for after a lot of effort.
I got up in panic and did not go up to check the body. Instead, I subconsciously ran out with my object on my back. Suddenly, I spoke outside. I looked up at the observation deck.
I just realized that at some point, Zhang Qicheng was standing there, and a man in his forties and dressed in linen cloth was followed by him.
One of the lucky things I saw was that after jumping off the cliff, my awareness of danger became particularly strong, and I would always make some actions inadvertently. I knew it was the prophecy stone at work.
Zhang Qicheng scolded the guards on the watchtower. They seemed to have appeared in my formation. Seeing this, I quickly jumped into the lake and lay on the artificial stone wall without moving. The man beside him turned his eyes toward me almost the moment I got into the water.
I was shocked and thought to myself that if I were seen by that guy, it would be a big trouble.
Zhang Qicheng scolded him for a while, then hurried down with a few people, leaving behind an empty observation deck. Seeing that the time had come, I didn't care about equipment, so I went up empty-handed and ran out quickly with the slope.
Running out of the college, standing at the entrance of the Huaxia Private Women's College, and passing through the road in front of me, I could see Qiu Yan sitting outside the window opposite drinking a drink.
Her existence completely broke my understanding of ghosts. She can not only walk normally in the sun, but also taste food normally.
I tidied up my thoughts and walked straight towards her. When I saw me coming back, she smiled, but she didn't get up and was still sitting in her seat and looking at me.
That bright smile like sunshine is very heartwarming and makes me feel at ease.
Entering the store from the door, ordering a cup of tea, and I sat across from her and looked at her.
"Is there anything?"
she asked.
"Is there something bad, do you want to listen?"
I tentatively said, I don’t know whether to tell her the truth. After all, telling a person who thinks he is not dead has been dead for many days. This is a difficult and acceptable reality.
She smiled at me, paused for a long time before speaking, "When something happened that day, I was in the dance room and witnessed everything!"
I looked at her with a shock, with a strong surprise on my face. Xiao Shi told me that she had indirect amnesia, and now it seems that she remembers everything.
"I'm surprised, right? Why can a person who has been dead for so long continue to live like this and live a normal life!"
"I don't understand what you have, why Zhang Qicheng is so scheming about you."
I asked in confusion.
Qiuyan obviously wanted to tell me everything because she knew that after I went to the dance room, she would definitely see her body.
"This matter has to start a few years ago, and I can't explain it clearly to you in a while, but what I can tell you is that even if my soul is destroyed, I will not let him get it."
When Qiuyan said this, I could clearly see the murderous aura and strong resentment revealed in her eyes.
The resentment of the Li Si family has reached a certain level. It can be said that the Li Si family is infinitely close to the evil ghost realm, and the aura that Qiu Yan revealed just now.
It is not something that ordinary ghosts in the evil ghost realm can possess, and they have the power of the red evil.
I won't say a word, I feel that I am not far from her telling me about my hidden feelings.
We didn't speak, and sat opposite each other while drinking until the water in the cup was gone, and she stood up and glanced at the heaven outside: "I have to leave and do something that must be done. If I don't come back at dawn, you will pretend that you don't know me, a friend."
After saying that, I was about to get up, and I reached out and grabbed her, "What if you want to find Zhang Qicheng?"
"No, a Onmyoji next to him!"
"A man in his forties?"
"It seems you've met."
Qiuyan smiled, patted my hand, trying to break free from my pull, but I held her tightly and said, "I'll go with you!"
"It's not your business, you don't need to get involved."
"But I've been caught in it, aren't I?"
I smiled and stood up and pulled her out, heading straight to the paper fire shop on the street opposite the Huaxia Private Women's College. There was not much talisman paper left in my bag, and I had to deal with the evil spirit master, so I didn't prepare some things, so I was afraid I would go there and never go back.
We purchased a lot of things, bought a lot of ancient coins and other things. I carried a full bag, so I changed a package, and then at Qiu Yan's suggestion, I hid the previous bag in a hidden place and put it in light clothes!
Originally, she went directly, but she took me to the station and said she wanted to wait for someone and then went there together. I was full of doubts and thought in my heart, who was the person she was waiting for?
