The grey mist around seemed to be condensing, yet it couldn't be condensed.
"Because I sealed the silver comb."
With the influence of the talisman, the dwelling items are scattered, and it is difficult for ghosts to congeal. Over time, they will become phantom spirits.
"There's nothing to worry about. Help your friend up and take them to the hospital to check their hand."
"As for here, you can call the police." I glanced at Li Tong.
Li Tong's face, filled with panic, momentarily calmed down.
"Report... the police?” He seemed bewildered.
"Is there a problem?" I asked in return.
Actually, before this, I had skills of the lowest order, and when it comes to dealing with corpses, I've interacted with the police very little. Unless it's unavoidable, I basically don't have any dealings with them.
After learning Taoist magic, I understand a point. What Taoists believe in and what the lowest order people do are different.
The lower nine streams are struggling to live, looking after themselves, while Taoism's heritage often mentions fairness.
Of course, I don't know if Master Bright Mirror studied properly. I can certainly say that, at least on certain levels, Si Yan, Zhang Guai, Han Zazi, and Han Qu all have a sense of justice in their hearts.
Especially so for Han Qu.
As for Han Zazi, he may have had no problem in his lifetime. The only issue is that he was unhappy about Han Qu's death and therefore did some things that went against natural justice and moral order.
The female corpse buried in the concrete was undoubtedly harmed by someone.
If I don't solve it, that's fine. But if someone destroys the body to cover their tracks, the matter may be cleaned up, but it would weigh heavily on my conscience.
But if it's not resolved, and the female corpse is left here, it will still have an impact on me. Troubles will still find their way to me and Li Tong.
Of course, while thinking about it, I haven't explained it to Li Tong in so many words.
"No... Nothing serious... It's just a bit unlucky, and we've got to..."
Li Tong didn't finish his sentence when suddenly, the female corpse straightened up abruptly!
"Dammit!" Li Tong's eyes widened in shock, his legs went weak again, and he sat down on the ground with a thump!
"My pupils contracted."
A rattling sound, the cloth wrapped around the female corpse had shattered.
A faint black downy hair appeared on her skin, and her unshut eyes, too, turned into a deep black.
The scattered grey gas beside her quickly condensed into a woman.
She was dressed in tattered clothes and her body was full of injuries. She opened her eyes wide and glared at me, yet she appeared terrified and did not dare to approach.
In the next second, she slid into the body!
The corpse took a step forward, the shredded cloth wrapped around it was even moreattered, and its body rigidly walked forward.
My breathing became slightly rapid, I took a look in my pocket. There should have been a silver comb in it, but it was empty and gone. All I could find was a dark talisman.
A faint glint of light flashed across his eyes. Since the body was already haunted, the corpse wouldn't suddenly come to life. If the ghost inside was sealed by me, but the corpse still came to life, that meant one thing.
She is filled with resentment and hatred.
There's a head to every wrong and a master to every debt. Having her find the person who killed her would actually be better.
Taoists act on behalf of heaven, which is different from the lower nine streams amassing wealth; it brings about invisible blessings.
"Take your friend home." I said firmly to Li Tong, and quickly followed the female corpse.
Her body was extra stiff, and the undead were more agile. This completely rigid corpse was like a puppet, very slow and clumsy.
By the time we walked out of the construction site and past the streetlights, the grey mist around her kept swirling, forming a faint grey shadow that resembled her. This shadow gradually solidified, and her appearance changed.
Not that her appearance had changed, but rather, on the outside, she was no longer hair dry and in rags; instead, she looked clean and fresh.
She was wearing a dress, legs were slender, with delicate white socks wrapped around them, hair was slightly curled and lay on her shoulders.
White base skin, rosy cheeks, as if she was drunk, smelling of alcohol.
She looked young, no more than twenty years old.
Ghosts are not visible to ordinary people unless they allow themselves to be seen.
Corpses are too terrifying.
The woman in front of me, with her peculiar state, was an uncommon corpse spirit.
Even if it's a corpse, it's still a ghost.
Under the streetlight, she suddenly stopped, turned her head, and stared straight at me.
A few seconds later, she took another step forward, and her stiff limbs seemed to become more lively.
I continued to follow her and move forward!
The direction was back to town, a few minutes' drive but it took about half an hour to walk.
I could see in my peripheral vision that a car was following behind, Li Tong's car, and he wasn't driving too fast.
I kept waiting until we entered the town, then the woman walked into a small road. I followed her, and Li Tong's car couldn't follow us.
The narrow lane was damp and dark, and there was no streetlight. The woman was walking very quickly.
It wasn't until she emerged from the alley that she reached a clean town road, with small two-story houses on both sides, and most of the storefronts were closed.
This should be the heart of the town, and I haven't been here for a month.
The woman stopped in front of a storefront. There was a small door on the roller blinds, and the tiles on the sides looked grey.
She turned her head again and looked at me with a stunned expression.
Her lips trembled slightly, and beside her was the sorrowful voice, saying, "There's a head to every wrong and a master to every debt."
I remained silent and didn't use any means.
She turned her head again, gave a light push with her hand, and the door opened. Normally, such iron doors should make a creaking sound, but it opened smoothly without any noise.
The woman took a step, slowly walked in.
I followed her as well.
Is she going home?
Going home to see before seeking revenge?
The first floor was unlit, but the light from the door allowed us to see a partition door further inside.
That door was closed, but light was leaking out from the bottom, indicating that someone was inside.
The sound of clinking cups was loud, as if several men were raising their glasses and drinking to their hearts' content.
"Xun brother, the girl before wasn't feeling well. When are you going to trick another one back?"
"Right, right! Teach us how to pull off a scam without any investment."
Another leisurely voice added, "Pulling off a scam without any investment? Think too much. Just use more sweet talk and pour money in harder; won't she fall for it right away? And then, just come out and say there's a profitable job, asking if she wants to do it."
"As long as it's entertaining, she'll definitely do it."
"You guys were too harsh on her that day. Thank goodness she used another phone and it was during the holiday. No one knew she came here, I guess in a few more days, someone will report her missing, damn it! You guys have been having fun while causing trouble for me."
The leisurely voice turned much more angry.
The other voices suddenly became sycophantic, each saying a flattering word. The angry voice then became smug.
"No big deal, after what they did, the girl has some dignity. She's very cautious about what she does; she even uses illegal taxis. No one knows she came to see me."
"You guys just stop it, I can't bring people back like that. They're all money trees. You guys even shook my root."
Suddenly, the air became cold.
The woman in front of the partition door shivered continuously, and it was as if a faint, delicate cry was echoing in one's mind, causing goosebumps to rise on one's body and making the chest feel stuffy.
Black downy hair appeared on her white and reddish cheeks, and soon turned into a bloody color!
The blood color clung to the skin, making it even more eerie and cold.
"Ugh, Xun brother, I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to find a massage place."
The partition door suddenly swung open.
A man with a sturdy build, tattooed arms, and smelling of alcohol.
He paused, frozen in place by the door.
In the next second, he even rubbed his eyes hard.
