Gu Xu smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Ming Zhuo. Her long eyelashes trembled, concealing the thoughtful look in her eyes.
Li Wenhe may have made a fool of himself, but what about Mingzhuo?
Could it be that she has already sensed something?
However, her tone and comments just now revealed a detachment that she herself was unaware of.
It's as if they're separated from this world by a layer.
A group of people walked forward, laughing and joking, when suddenly something clicked in the darkness.
Mingzhuo looked up and saw a small wooden puppet standing on the deserted street.
It bowed to the crowd with its sleeves tucked in, then looked up at Mingzhuo with bright, sparkling eyes.
Ming Zhuo remained unmoved: "You've already left with Shen Ruodi, so there's no need for you to come back."
The puppet suddenly became anxious and flew to Mingzhuo's side, showing a strong desire to follow him.
Ming Zhuo: "Did Shen Ruodi send you? Or does he no longer want you? Isn't he afraid I'll hand you over to the Xuanmen?"
The puppet's dark eyes stared intently at Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo sighed. Although Shen Ruodi was indeed very annoying, Xiao Mumu was very cute.
She didn't mind Xiao Mumu following her around. Even if the Xuanmen suspected that she had something to do with Shen Ruodi, it didn't matter. At most, it would be a bit troublesome, and she could just have a fight.
"Then you can stay." She held out her hand.
The puppet happily floated onto her hand and affectionately rubbed against her fingers.
Li Wenhe frowned: "Shen Ruodi's motives are unclear. Is it dangerous to keep his things with us?"
Mingzhuo: "Are you worried he'll use this to plot against me? No, I know what I'm doing."
Li Wenhe pursed his lips. Of course he knew that the ghost king was coveting Mingzhuo.
Sending a puppet that looks exactly like him to Mingzhuo to act cute and charming—his true intentions are obvious.
Gu Xu seemed lost in thought. He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
——
Besides the "Slaying Spirits" program team being concerned about the location of the Saha Sect headquarters, the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) is also conducting an intensive search.
Following the accounts provided by the owner of the mountain retreat, they arrested several people and discovered that the headquarters of the Saha sect should be in a city in the south.
A week later, Liu Shuang came to visit.
She brought up divorce with Sun Bufan, but he kept pestering her, crying and pleading for forgiveness, but refused to leave.
One day, he suddenly rushed to her door in a panic, urging her to get a divorce as soon as possible!
Liu Shuang didn't understand why the other party had suddenly changed their attitude, especially since they had been calling her parents and trying to gain sympathy by playing the victim.
The older generation always felt that the term "second marriage" sounded bad, and their hometown was too traditional, so they wondered why they wouldn't agree if the son-in-law sincerely repented.
He also advised her that money is an external thing, something you can't take with you when you die, and that the human heart is the most important thing.
Liu Shuang thought it would be a protracted battle, but since the other party was so proactive, that was the best outcome.
But once the two had obtained their divorce certificates, Sun Bufan changed his tune completely.
He sneered, "Don't think I don't know that your family believes in evil gods and worships cults. You think winning 7 million in the lottery is just luck? It might have been earned by your parents' lives."
Liu Shuang dismissed it as mere sarcasm and ignored it.
But two days later, I couldn't get through to my parents on the phone!
She rushed back to her hometown that night, only to find that no one was home.
The old lady next door said that her parents went to participate in a religious worship activity.
Liu Shuang thought it was something like Christianity, but the old woman said no, it was a religion of God, and it was especially effective.
It is said that after converting to the religion, the rice in the family's rice jar never seemed to decrease, and he also felt much stronger, with plenty of energy when working in the fields.
If believers want more, they must participate in secret activities and pray devoutly, and the gods will respond to them.
As she spoke, the old woman looked at Liu Shuang with envy and said, "Didn't you say before that it was so hard to buy a house in the big city after you got married? Well, your parents went to pray to the gods, and you immediately won the lottery."
The old woman also said, "If my eyesight weren't so bad, I would have liked to go too, but unfortunately I wasn't selected."
Liu Shuang inquired around the village, but no one knew where her parents had gone.
The old woman said that Sun Bufan drove to her house overnight a few days ago, probably hoping to get more help from her parents.
Sun Bufan only stayed one night and drove away early the next morning.
Liu Shuang called Sun Bufan to inquire about the situation, but Sun Bufan's sister answered the phone.
Sun Bufan was in a car accident. He didn't know what happened, but the car suddenly went out of control, crashed through the railing, and fell into the river.
The person could not be saved.
The accident occurred on an overpass near the industrial park, with the river below.
Something seemed amiss, so Liu Shuang quickly went to Ming Zhuo for help.
Mingzhuo was also somewhat surprised. She knew from seeing Sun Bufan that day that he would be tainted with some evil aura, but it shouldn't be this serious. At most, his luck would decline and he would lose all his money.
Moreover, the female ghost and other water ghosts in the river had all been sent away by her opening the gates of hell, so they couldn't possibly have the ability to seek revenge on Sun Bufan.
He Wangyao: "This is too strange. My boss handled it. There couldn't possibly be a problem."
Li Wenhe also frowned. He was the one who initially took over this case. It was one thing that he didn't see Sun Bufan's problem, but now this has happened.
It was almost like they were deliberately provoking them.
Mingzhuo looked at Liu Shuang and said, "The female ghost will haunt Sun Bufan, and it's not just about the lottery. The lottery is the cause, but the result is that you will die."
