Chapter 45: Wanting to do something and being able to do it are two different things. It’s late at night. …

It's late at night.

Su Huaiwang hasn't fallen asleep yet.

For some reason, she felt uneasy tonight, as if something bad was going to happen.

After tossing and turning in bed several times, she finally got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and flipped through her cell phone.

The time is displayed at 23:04.

The list is empty, no new messages.

After she said "Bon voyage", Tu Zhizhuo, who was pinned to the top of the post, hadn't sent her a message for several hours.

Did he make it home successfully? Did he know she was going to sleep?

Su Huaiwang was confused.

When you click on her profile picture, the content she shared is limited to the extremely unpalatable noodles she had for dinner.

Su Huaiwang frowned.

According to Tu Zhizhuo's personality, Cyber's disappearance for a few hours is nothing.

But why did she feel so uneasy?

After hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and started typing.

[Su Huaiwang]: Have you arrived home?

No reply.

Su Huaiwang threw his phone aside, took a deep breath to calm himself, and tried his best to suppress the unfounded fear.

-

In the cold carriage, the phone screen lit up.

A slender bony hand picked it up and subconsciously pressed the fingerprint button.

Authentication failed.

The young Taoist priest then remembered that this was not her cell phone.

She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy. She took away the phone just to prevent Tu Zhizhuo from sending a message to Su Huaiwang and alerting him.

The standby page showed the message from Su Huaiwang.

With just a brief greeting, Lei Yinyin simply didn't interfere and assumed that Tu Zhizhuo had gone to bed and had no time to reply to her message.

The phone was turned off and placed back in the middle of the car.

Lei Yinyin stretched and restarted the car.

The roar of the engine sounded and the vehicle bumped along the mountain road.

She was alert to her surroundings, fearing that the vengeful ghost might appear at any time.

Lei Yinyin didn't think she would be its opponent, but she had a life-saving talisman given by her mother, so it was perfect for her to be the vanguard.

The pale headlights reflected a figure: a girl in a white dress stood on the side of the road, stretching out her hand, as if wanting to hitchhike.

Lei Yinyin stopped the car.

As expected, the girl slowly walked to the passenger door.

Press the button and the doors unlock.

The vehicle started again, and a young girl appeared in the silent space.

Lei Yinyin was so focused on driving that she didn't pay much attention to the girl. The darkness, lurking outside the tiny headlights, made her feel a sense of fear that she hadn't felt in a long time.

But the girl took the initiative to talk to her.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

Lei Yinyin answered truthfully: "Dayan Village, just over this mountain."

"What are you going to do?"

"Find out some things."

"The mountain road is steep and driving is not very safe. Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"

“Opportunity is fleeting.”

"But it's better to be prepared. If you go there rashly, you might encounter something bad."

The girl's words were neither polite nor auspicious. Lei Yinyin frowned and stepped on the accelerator.

"Then why were you waiting by the roadside so late? If I hadn't passed by..."

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, but was quickly drowned out.

Lei Yinyin shook her head. She didn't know if it was because she was too tired recently, but she always felt groggy.

The vehicle continues to move.

"Life is full of surprises."

The girl whispered.

This wasn't something she would say at her age. Lei Yinyin looked at her in surprise.

The girl was beautiful, like a jade doll, and she was stunning at first sight.

But she still had the qualities that a civil servant should have. Suppressing the throbbing in her heart, she said:

"Where are you going? I'll take you there."

The girl looked at her and smiled, her crimson lips forming a perfect curve.

The heartbeat got a little louder, and Lei Yinyin swallowed, unsure if it was a throbbing or...

A kind of premonition.

"Beiguan Village. Is that okay?"

Brake suddenly to a stop.

Lei Yinyin leaned over the steering wheel, cold sweat pouring out of his forehead.

She forced a smile, hid her left hand, and secretly made a hand gesture:

"There doesn't seem to be such a village in this mountain, right?"

The girl lowered her eyes and nodded softly: "Originally, there was none."

"hiss!"

Burning pain in left arm.

The girl tilted her head slightly to look at her, her amber eyes filled with clear confusion: "What's wrong? Don't you want to continue driving?"

Lei Yinyin stretched out his left arm, and the three fingers that he had just used to make a gesture had turned charcoal black.

"Kai, I'm just... ha... a little tired, wait a moment..."

She lowered her head to shift gears, with big drops of sweat falling from her forehead.

Is the air conditioner broken? Why is it so hot? Is global warming really that serious?

Lei Yinyin's face flushed and he was breathing heavily.

"Are you hot?"

The girl looked at her coldly.

"A little." Lei Yinyin smiled and looked at her.

The other person still had the same icy and delicate appearance, without even a drop of sweat falling. The air around her seemed to have a substantial chill.

Seeing her unconcealed wariness, the girl smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. The people in Beiguan Village weren't used to this temperature at first, but now they like it."

Lei Yinyin pointed with her slender white jade finger and looked in the direction she gave. Only then did she realize that the outside of the car had been surrounded by dense crowds of people.

Perhaps they cannot be called human beings. They melted, they howled, their skin and flesh fell off piece by piece, they clung to the car windows, roaring and wailing, and pieces of rotten skin tissue stuck to the windows.

The darkness was instantly dispelled by the flames, and the wildfire spread across the sky, soon invading them and licking the ghosts whose original forms could no longer be seen.

The shrill screams pierced Lei Yinyin's ears.

She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth secretly.

"Bang!"

A flash of lightning appeared.

This was followed by a cry of pain.

Lei Yinyin never thought that the thunder punishment she had been practicing since childhood would actually strike her today.

The burnt black on the right hand was even worse than on the left.

The girl looked at her with a half-smile, as if mocking her arrogance.

The fire continued to rise, and with each ghost it devoured, it let out a sharp scream, not only of pain but also of pleasure.

Lei Yinyin trembled, and an obscure spell escaped from his mouth. His charred arms were immediately covered with a layer of golden light.

Without any hesitation, Lei Yinyin rushed forward and grabbed the girl's throat.

To her surprise, the girl didn't resist at all and was pinned down on the seat with a smile on her face.

"Do you want to kill me?" the girl asked her.

"How is that possible?" She couldn't kill him, and she couldn't kill him.

"What a shame. But wanting to do something and not being able to do it are two different things."

The girl raised her hand, and her spotless fingertips gently pressed against her charred golden arm.

Lei Yinyin's eyes showed surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm also a 'good person', so of course it can't hurt me."

The ghosts knew how to anger the young Taoist priest.

As expected, Lei Yinyin fell into a state of extreme rage. She trembled, her hands kept tightening, and a low growl came from her throat:

"You...evil ghost!!"

"I'm wrong. I'm a vengeful ghost."

Lin Jue was calm and just watched her try to kill him.

Lei Yinyin didn't know why she had already done this, but the other party still didn't show any discomfort.

But she could only continue to push. Scarlet faces were slammed against the car windows by the fire, and the flames grinned fiercely, crushing the howling ghosts over and over again.

This is an evil dream caused by a vengeful ghost.

Those who live therein are all sinners.

But what sin is there that deserves such torture over and over again?

Lei Yinyin didn't understand. The sect believed that everything was empty after death, and she had never doubted it.

The dead are the greatest, and she could not tolerate such an act of desecration of the dead.

Lin Jue had no interest in what she was thinking. She gradually began to lose interest in this drama and the opponent's weakness.

At this moment, the cell phone next to him vibrated, the screen lit up, and the name [Su Huaiwang] popped up.

Lin Jue picked up the phone and squinted his eyes to read the content.

[Su Huaiwang]: Are you asleep? So early? I can't sleep. If you don't reply to my message, I'm going to call you repeatedly!

Lin Jue's expression changed instantly.

“This is not your phone.”

Lei Yinyin, who was fighting a life-and-death battle, was stunned.

Do they have to discuss this at a time like this?

Lin Jue flipped through his phone and finally confirmed, "This belongs to Tu Zhizhuo. If you want to save someone, then save them. Why would you take their phone?"

Perhaps the disgust and blame in her words were too obvious, and Lei Yinyin's anger was instantly dissipated a little.

But she didn't say anything, she just softened her grip a little.

"Okay." Lin Jue waved his hand, and Lei Yinyin was pushed away and slammed heavily on the car door.

The vehicle was swaying in the sea of ​​fire.

Lei Yinyin suffered a concussion on the back of his head and tasted blood in his mouth.

Lin Jue didn't care what she said. He unlocked his phone and replied to Su Huaiwang in Tu Zhizhuo's tone, telling her to go to bed quickly.

As she replied, she was still unhappy.

Although she knew that she and Tu Zhizhuo probably had different positions in Su Huaiwang's heart, this couldn't help but make her jealous of Tu Zhizhuo.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so emotionally agitated that he couldn't even control his breathing, causing all this trouble for nothing.

It also prevented Su Huaiwang from sleeping until midnight.

Lin Jue was most angry about this. The fire outside the car grew a bit bigger, almost engulfing the entire car.

Lei Yinyin's condition is very bad now. She has lost blood, is overdrawn, injured, and dehydrated... She is almost dying.

Lin Jue glanced at her and said impatiently, "Why don't you come out?"

The next second, a figure emerged from the talisman that Lei Yinyin carried with him.

The shadowy figure of the woman bowed to Lin Jue and said, "I apologize for the offense."

Lin Jue looked at her sarcastically: "I thought she was your vanguard. Are you finally planning to break up with her?"

Lei Zhengqing smiled slightly: "If we want to kill you, we will have to pay a heavy price."

"So you sacrificed Su Huaiwang."

"That can't be called a sacrifice. We believe in you."

"Trust me, don't send her."

Lei Zhengqing stared at her for a long moment. "Even if I choose to be with you, I still have to keep a layer of insurance."

Lin Jue was not afraid at all and met her gaze. "Congratulations, your insurance policy is about to fail. She's your daughter, right? Don't you feel bad at all?"

Lei Zhengqing glanced back at the unconscious Lei Yinyin, his face showing undisguised kindness: "She has to see the world."

Lin Jue was dissatisfied: "I am not a tool for you to educate your children."

"But you won't kill her, will you?"

Lin Jue was silent, then he threw his hands and said impatiently: "Hurry up and take her away."

"I understand. But we will continue to monitor Su Huaiwang's condition."

Lin Jue finally couldn't help it: "What the hell, isn't it disgusting? You guys have to watch other people's love affairs?"

Hearing her words, Lei Zhengqing's first reaction was surprise: "Are you in love with her now?"

She was a little bit unconvinced, but Lin Jue was very confident:

"Not yet, but soon."

With the friendship and sexual desire, Su Huaiwang will definitely propose to her soon that he wants to have a relationship with her.

Lei Zhengqing thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to face this vengeful ghost whose every behavior had violated the taboos of love. In the end, he could only dryly wish her well:

"Uh... Well, I wish you luck? But remember, don't do that again."

Before, Lin Jue was still a pure little kid and did nothing but watch Su Huaiwang every day when he locked her up, but now she knows what love is.

Lei Zhengqing just felt that he couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise the show might not be able to be broadcast.

Lin Jue held his phone in his hand, looking disgusted: "Get out of here!"
