No. 10, Unit 5, Building 3, Bixi Garden.

Si Jinyan immediately went to Shu Ranjie's residence.

When she arrived at Bixi Garden, it was already dark.

Si Jinyan looked up at the sky, his brows furrowing slightly as if deep in thought.

"It's all retribution!"

Si Jinyan was debating whether to intervene, but decided that matters concerning the living should be left to the judicial authorities.

Several people were standing at the door of room number ten.

When Si Jinyan appeared at the door, the group of people all turned around to look at her.

"How come there's still a living person here?"

A woman with an empty chest turned to look at Si Jinyan.

"I don't know, it seems like she can still see us."

"It was a man pulling out his intestines," he said.

They all turned around and looked at Si Jinyan with curiosity.

They seemed not to understand why Si Jinyan could see them.

"You're here to see Shu Ranjie too?"

A fifty-year-old woman, blood dripping from her abdomen, tilted her head and asked.

"Hmm, why don't you go in?"

Si Jinyan walked up to them without any fear and was about to knock on the door.

"There's a Taoist priest inside, so we don't dare go in."

The group shook their heads and said.

Otherwise, those ghosts would have already floated in.

Si Jinyan knocked on the door, and a woman's voice came from inside.

Who is it?

Si Jinyan did not reply.

Instead, he continued knocking on the door.

The woman walked impatiently to the door and looked outside through the peephole.

There was no one outside.

But the door kept rattling.

The woman was so frightened by this bizarre scene that she backed away repeatedly.

"Master Taoist, Master Taoist, there's a ghost!"

The woman realized what was happening immediately, and she stumbled back to the living room.

The sofa and coffee table in the living room were moved aside, and a man covered in runes sat inside a formation drawn with cinnabar.

Beside him was a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe.

“I know they’re right outside the door.”

The Taoist priest sat next to Shu Ranjie with his eyes closed, holding a Bagua mirror in one hand and a stack of talismans in the other.

"Tonight is the Ghost Festival, just get through tonight."

Today is the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, the Ghost Festival.

Those ghosts who were originally summoned but have not yet been reincarnated will return to the human world today to wander around.

"I'll be going out to fight those ghosts later. Dr. Shu, don't leave this formation. No matter who's calling you outside, don't go out."

The Taoist priest repeatedly explained these things.

"The ghosts that have been captured will only amplify the fear in people's hearts; they cannot cause you any direct harm."

"Okay, I've got it."

Shu Ranjie replied, his forehead already covered in a fine sheen of sweat, showing that he was afraid.

But once tonight is over, everything will be set in stone.

He didn't want to die; he hadn't even reached the position of director yet.

With this mindset, Shu Ranjie waited for the dawn to arrive.

At this moment, a strong wind was blowing outside, and the night wind was howling.

Si Jinyan looked out at the sky through the window in the corridor.

Two moons were reflected in her eyes, one bright and clear, the other blood-red.

Two full moons hang high in the night sky, signifying that the human realm and the ghost realm are merging.

She sent Xiao Luoan a message, telling him not to go out tonight.

It's best to rest early. Only when a person is asleep will ghosts not interfere with their five senses.

It will not create illusions that cause people to fall into them.

Xiao Luoan agreed and told her to be careful.

All he could do was protect himself and not cause any trouble for Si Jinyan.

Si Jinyan was torn about whether or not to get involved in these matters.

Finally, she sighed deeply, for karma is a cycle, and retribution is inevitable.

She has no right to interfere; these are not evil spirits, nor are they taking lives for no reason.

Why should she bother to intervene?

The three ghosts discussed for a while and decided to use a feint to the east while attacking the west.

The first male ghost to die went in and confronted the Taoist priest head-on.

The two new ghosts then went to lure Shu Ranjie.

So the male ghost took the lead and rushed into the room.

The Taoist priest had opened his third eye, so naturally he could see ghosts.

Upon seeing the male ghost enter, they immediately took out a Bagua mirror and shone it upon it.

The male ghost leaped and jumped, trying to avoid the reflected light from the Bagua mirror.

"You mere wandering ghosts dare to challenge me? You overestimate yourselves."

The Taoist priest was quite powerful; in just a few moments, he used the Bagua mirror to scatter the male ghost's soul.

At that moment, a long sword flew in from outside the window and blocked the male ghost's path.

"The Azure Lotus Sword?"

The Taoist priest immediately recognized the sword as the treasure of Lingxu Temple.

His eyes lit up instantly.

This sword is a divine weapon; who in the Taoist sect wouldn't want to fight for it?

However, not everyone can wield this sword; it recognizes its master!

No matter how excited he was, he never dared to step forward and draw the sword.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist, and why are you blocking my way?"

He called out towards the window, but there was no response.

Si Jinyan clenched her fist, and the Azure Lotus Sword returned to her hand.

Seeing that the Azure Lotus Sword had disappeared, the Taoist priest dared not make any rash moves.

Seeing that someone was helping him, the male ghost immediately went towards the Taoist priest, intending to lure him away and buy time for the other two ghosts.
