Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 609
Yuan Jing was not surprised that Lu Junyang had another life on his hands, because he had known this female ghost for a while and had used her to accomplish several things, otherwise he would not have thought of using the female ghost again to achieve his goal this time.
But now was not the time to pursue the matter, so he whispered, "Be calm." He then used his soul power to perform a calming spell, and the male ghost soon calmed down and lay there motionless.
Since this is a spiritual world, it means that the level of the world is not the lowest, and the soul power has not been suppressed to the limit. A part of it can be used. It also means that this world has spiritual energy and can be cultivated.
Yuan Jing's friend was called Tong Lian. He grabbed his arm and hurriedly left the haunted house with the others. It was June, but staying in this haunted building gave him goose bumps all over his body. After leaving the yard and looking back at the still eerie building, Tong Lian asked Yuan Jing, "Did you really not see a ghost? I clearly saw a female ghost, and she didn't dress like a modern person. I almost thought I couldn't get out tonight."
"There was a female ghost, and she was killed by your friend. Haha, I didn't expect that there was a real charlatan who could catch ghosts around you." The male ghost in the Yinhun Wood lay there and laughed. The reason why he was willing to calm down was because the female ghost completely disappeared, and because he discovered that Yuan Jing was not a fake charlatan, but someone who really had some means, whether it was the Yinhun Wood or the calming technique just now, and Yuan Jing took him away from the haunted building.
It’s a pity that Tong Lian couldn’t hear his voice, and the man and the ghost couldn’t communicate. Of course, if Tong Lian knew that a ghost wanted to communicate with him, he wouldn’t know if he would scream again in fright.
Tong Lian held herself and walked beside Yuan Jing. After a while, she said strangely, "It was so gloomy just now, but now it seems to be warmer and more comfortable to be by your side."
It's a pity that the male ghost shuddered when he heard this. He was sure that the female ghost was killed by the golden light on Yuan Jing's body, and that the golden light should have been restrained instead of disappearing. That's why the guy outside felt safe with Yuan Jing in this gloomy place.
Everyone else ran as soon as they got out of the building, wishing to get as far away from this haunted building as possible. Including Lu Junyang, who also left with an uncertain look on his face. Only Yuan Jing walked slowly.
There are also a few people who firmly believe in materialism and that there are no ghosts in this world. They still smiled and talked about this strange situation. There must be something wrong with the magnetic field here, which happened to be a coincidence for them to bump into it. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to find the way, but even their mobile phones would have no signal. Look, now their mobile phones have full signal again.
"Yuan Jing, can you hurry up?"
Yuan Jing was still walking slowly with his backpack in his arms. He glanced at Tong Lian and said, "Someone will come to pick me up later. If I go with you, I'll have to catch the bus. It will take quite a while at this point."
"Huh? Who is coming to pick you up? How come I don't know? Which friend of yours don't I know?" Tong Lian asked curiously.
Yuan Jing bared his teeth and said, "If you are not afraid, just wait with me and we will see each other then."
Because she felt particularly safe next to Yuan Jing, Tong Lian overcame her fear and said through gritted teeth, "I'll wait. I'm not afraid of ghosts, it's just that the atmosphere is a little scary."
The ghost in the ghost tree burst into laughter. He was timid even though he was, but he even insisted that he was not afraid of ghosts. Wasn’t he afraid that this person would really let him out to scare Tong Lian?
One after another, everyone else left, including the crew's car. Before leaving, they asked if they wanted a ride, but Yuan Jing refused, and Tong Lian also shook her head and waved her hands. However, the longer time went by, the darker it became behind them. The wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed wildly on the ground. Suddenly, a cat meowed not far away, and Tong Lian screamed and jumped onto Yuan Jing.
At this moment, a car squeaked and stopped in front of Yuan Jing. The window was rolled down, and the person who leaned out of the car stared unhappily at the bastard who was jumping on Yuan Jing with his eyes closed and screaming.
"Come and help me, I'm about to fall." Yuan Jing smiled bitterly and reached out to the people in the car. He was in very poor health.
A tall figure jumped out quickly, tore off the person who was clinging to Yuan Jing, and then hugged Yuan Jing carefully. Looking at his face and physical condition, it was obvious that he was in a very bad state.
Tong Lian was a little chubby. He didn't expect to be torn apart and thrown to the ground. He sat down on the ground, and the only thoughts that popped into his mind were "Who am I and where am I?" He looked at the man who was holding Yuan Jing in his arms in a daze. Oh, a strange face that he had never seen around Yuan Jing before. Where did this guy come from?
Yan Yuansen looked at Tong Lian coldly and said, "Can't you see that Yuan Jing is feeling unwell? Why are you trying to get on him?"
Yuan Jing knew that Tong Lian didn't mean it. He was really afraid of ghosts and was frightened by today's scene. He patted Yan Yuansen on the chest and said, "Okay, Tong Lian didn't mean it. Tong Lian, get in the car and leave here as soon as possible."
"Oh, here we are." Tong Lian stood up immediately after hearing that he could leave. This time, he took the initiative to open the door of the back car and got in. Yan Yuansen carefully helped Yuan Jing to sit in the passenger seat. Seeing this, Tong Lian grinned and became even more curious. How could he not know when Yuan Jing met such a friend who didn't seem to be from the same class as them? And their relationship was so good?
He was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like an elite, with a pair of rimless glasses on his nose. He looked very gentle, but Tong Lian had a feeling like a little animal that this man was not someone you wanted to mess with. He could be described in one word: a gentleman scum.
But he instinctively knew that he must not say this.
After fastening his seat belt, Yan Yuansen started the car and drove away. Tong Lian looked out the car window at the haunted building that was getting farther and farther away. She felt even more terrified, as if a shadow was baring its fangs and claws in the night. Her heart trembled and she quickly turned back and said to Yuan Jing, "Yuan Jing, you lied to them before. They clearly saw a ghost, a female ghost wearing clothes from the Republic of China period. It was so scary."
Yuan Jing leaned back in his seat and said happily, "Yes, I did see it, but not many people believed it. What's the point of telling it?"
Tong Lian muttered, "That's what I said. How can you say you didn't see it when you clearly saw it?" Then he became interested again, "How do you think the female ghost died? She must have been very young when she died. Why didn't she reincarnate? Was she wronged by some grievance? Was she waiting there for revenge? It turns out there are really ghosts in this world."
She was obviously afraid of ghosts, but now that she had left that place, she was gossiping enthusiastically. Yan Yuansen curled his lips maliciously and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you talk too much now, you will dream about a female ghost when you go back home tonight?"
"Ah——" Tong Lian screamed, and then became quiet, only glancing at Yuan Jing with resentment from time to time, wondering what kind of friends he had found. He had such a bad taste. He was really afraid of dreaming about a female ghost at night. He wondered if he could sleep tonight.
This guy is really not easy to mess with.
Yan Yuansen took Yuan Jing to have dinner first. Tong Lian didn't dare to go back alone, so he shamelessly ate for free. However, seeing Yan Yuansen taking care of Yuan Jing while eating at the table made him feel a toothache. He would look up at them after taking a bite of food from time to time, but it was a pity that Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen both looked as if they were alone, so his gaze was in vain.
After dinner, Yan Yuansen sent the two to their rental house, which was a few square meters of compartments, where many people lived together to minimize the cost of renting a house. Although it was a single room, the sound insulation was very poor. Yan Yuansen guessed what was going on inside before he even entered, so he helped Yuan Jing pack his luggage when he arrived at his compartment. What for? Of course, he moved to his own side. Could it be that he and Yuan Jing would have to live separately?
Although the conditions there are not that great, at least he has his own two-bedroom apartment and won't be disturbed by the neighbors on both sides.
Seeing Yan Yuansen carrying Yuan Jing's bag and pulling Yuan Jing to leave, Tong Lian was dumbfounded and quickly grabbed Yuan Jing: "Yuan Jing, are you leaving?"
Yuan Jing blinked: "Yes, I decided to move in with Brother Yan, and I can save some rent money."
"Ah, then what should I do at night?" Tong Lianyuan still wanted to squeeze in with Yuan Jing at night.
Yan Yuansen frowned, he could see what this guy was thinking. His fingers brushed across Tong Lian's hand, and Tong Lian unconsciously let go of Yuan Jing's hand.
Yuan Jing said with a smile: "You can squeeze in with the others at night. Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will have a good sleep at night."
Yuan Jing patted him on the shoulder and removed the Yin Qi from him, leaving him some golden light of merit for self-defense, then waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll return the house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Tong Lian had no choice but to watch him go outside. When Yuan Jing got in the car and left, he quickly carried him back. Fortunately, this group of tenants lacked everything except popularity.
In the car, Yuan Jing looked at Yan Yuansen, pursed his lips and smiled: "He's quite handsome."
No wonder many people prefer the type of men who are gentle and bad. There is a saying that the worse the man, the more women love him. If you apply the same principle to the same sex, they will say: "You must be very popular."
Yan Yuansen was just feeling proud when he heard Yuan Jing say this. He glanced at him speechlessly and said, "Yeah, then you have to keep an eye on your man in the future."
Yuan Jing reached out and wiped his face, teased him a bit, then fell back and laughed. Yan Yuansen also curled the corners of his mouth helplessly.
After parking the car, Yan Yuansen went upstairs holding the bag in one hand and Yuan Jing in the other. The two of them didn't say anything, but they communicated their situations through the Horcruxes in their souls. In this life, Yan Yuansen's identity is simple yet not simple. He is a private detective who often walks on the edge of the gray area and faces many dangers.
The original person's father was a policeman and divorced his mother a long time ago because his mother could not tolerate her husband's special job. Although the original person grew up with his mother, he had a very deep affection for his father. When he was a child, he wanted to become a policeman like his father when he grew up. However, an accident changed the original person's life. The original person's father died in a mission and it seemed that he died in an accident.
The original person didn't believe it, so in order to find out the truth, he gave up his ideals and became a private detective, because it was impossible to track down the real murderer who killed his father through legitimate channels. With his efforts and adventures, he finally caught the real murderer. Because of that experience, he was more willing to carry on his father's legacy in this identity.
After opening the door and entering, Yan Yuansen put down his bag, rubbed Yuan Jing's head and said, "Let's bear with it for now, and live in the small house first."
Yuan Jing walked around the room and said, "Then wait until I make money, and then I'll let you live in a big house."
"Okay." Yan Yuansen smiled. Having inherited the body of the original inhabitant, he could not abandon the original inhabitant's wishes. He must continue this career to the end. However, as long as he was not separated from Yuan Jing, he thought that such experience was also very good. He had worked in many industries in his memory, but this was his first time as a detective.
The two of them took a shower and cleaned themselves up. When they came out, Yuan Jing took out the ghost wood and placed it on the table in front of him and Yan Yuansen, saying, "It just so happens that this matter should be within your professional scope. The ghost inside became a ghost, which is inseparable from Lu Junyang in the crew today. Today's incident is not the first time he has done it. He must have other cases."
Yan Yuansen said as he wiped Yuan Jing's hair: "Then let the ghost come out and tell us how he was killed."
Yuan Jing leaned on Yan Yuansen and tapped the table with his fingers, then saw a black gas floating out from the ghost forest, and then immediately hid far away. Not only was there a person who could kill ghosts without taking any action with the golden light on his body, but there was also a person with a terrifying aura on his body, as if you got close to him you would be dragged into the bottomless abyss.
Although Yan Yuansen was not as able to see ghosts with his naked eyes as Yuan Jing, his powerful soul power allowed him to feel a negative energy floating out of the house, so he primed his eyes to locate the ghost and looked in that direction.
