Mingzhuo thought for a moment. He couldn't just ignore it. If someone really caused trouble, it wouldn't affect the cultivators, but it would affect Xie Xiao's luck.
She opened her schoolbag, took out a piece of yellow paper, drew a talisman, and handed it to Pei Di, saying, "Go and check on the situation."
Pei Di asked nervously, "How can we stop it? What if I can't see the ghost?"
Mingzhuo gave him a strange look. "I'm asking you to deal with people, not ghosts. You can use force a little if necessary."
Upon hearing that it was about dealing with people, Pei Di immediately relaxed. He was very familiar with this kind of business. Before recognizing Zhuo Dang as the boss, he was a veritable school bully!
"Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
After Pei Di left, Ming Zhuo continued playing his game with his head down.
The wind by the river blew through her hair, and the girl's downcast eyes were quite deceptive, making it hard to associate her with school bullies or experts.
Xie Xiao was initially very nervous, but her attention was diverted when one person after another approached her to chat.
Several guys tried to strike up a conversation with her, but all they wanted was Mingzhuo's contact information.
Xie Xiao was unsure of Ming Zhuo's attitude at first, until someone boldly took out a box of cherries and asked Ming Zhuo, the little beauty, with a smile if she wanted some.
Mingzhuo looked up at the other person and said, "I don't like cherries. Why don't you give me the apples from your bag?"
The boy had never seen such a unique and beautiful girl before. When he looked at her face up close, he saw that she was even more beautiful, and he was overjoyed and said, "Okay!"
Mingzhuo smiled slightly, then took the biggest apple, stared at the boy, and snapped it open with her bare hands.
The boy froze on the spot.
Mingzhuo asked him if he wanted an apple, and he shook his head vigorously before quickly leaving.
That terrified expression on his face was as if he were afraid Mingzhuo would crack open his skull.
Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She laughed for a while, then suddenly felt a damp, cold wind. She looked up and realized that the sun had disappeared behind the clouds.
The sky turned completely overcast.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed someone approaching; it was a person wearing a hoodie.
"Miss, can I invite you to my house?"
Xie Xiao subconsciously said, "I'm sorry, she doesn't like dealing with strangers..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that this person was inviting her.
The young man had pale skin, a slight upturn at the corners of his lips, and stared intently at Xie Xiao as he repeated himself.
"Miss, can I invite you to my house?"
Xie Xiao felt this person was a bit strange and was about to refuse when Ming Zhuo suddenly spoke up: "Sure!"
She exited the game, put her phone away, stood up, and said enthusiastically, "Great! I want to come to your house to play! How do you plan to play with me?"
The hoodie did not answer.
Xie Xiao inexplicably smelled a damp, rotten earthy odor, a smell that seemed familiar.
She thought for a long time but couldn't remember, so she gave up imagining and walked to the side, leaving the main stage to Mingzhuo.
When classmates are approached by strangers, they help each other to fend them off.
She glanced at Mingzhuo and the hoodie, then her gaze fell on the ground, where she saw a trail of wet footprints stretching from the riverbank to the shore, and she paused for a moment.
This person looked as if he had crawled out of the river.
But how could that be! The other person's clothes were clean and tidy, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them!
In a flash, Xie Xiao suddenly remembered where she had smelled that damp, rotten earthy smell.
Last night, when Xie Tan dragged her and ran wildly into the Yellow Springs Road, a damp and cold aura enveloped her, and the smell was so strong that it made her want to vomit.
How could I have forgotten? Xie Xiao was filled with remorse.
"Ruan Mingzhuo, be careful, he's that evil spirit!"
The hoodie turned around, and a face slowly turned bluish-black and swollen, his eyeballs bulging out as he stared at her lifelessly.
You found out.
The river water rushed over in an instant, and with Xie Xiao screaming, it swept her up violently!
Seeing that the river water was engulfing them, the hoodie didn't linger and immediately jumped into the river.
However, the next second, he felt a tightness in his wrist and quickly turned around.
In the pitch-black water, a young girl smiled brightly, her lips red and teeth white.
She sighed, "You promised to invite me to your house, how could you go back on your word?"
The ghost thought about it and decided that the buy-one-get-one-free deal was a great bargain! He was happy to have brought fresh blood and souls, so he simply packed Mingzhuo up and took him with him.
Xie Xiao's heart sank when she saw Ming Zhuo: "You were arrested too?"
Seeing that the other person was about to cry, Mingzhuo quickly comforted her, "Keep it down, keep it down. I followed along on my own initiative. That ghost doesn't have much intelligence and didn't notice anything wrong."
Xie Xiao felt a little more at ease and whispered, "Should we pretend?"
As they were talking, a door appeared at the end of the Road to the Underworld.
Xie Xiao knew in her heart that behind the door was the evil spirit that had taken her brother away, so she became extremely vigilant.
Before she could discuss the next plan with Mingzhuo, she saw Mingzhuo walk up and push the door.
After realizing he couldn't push it away, Mingzhuo took a few steps back to get a running start, and then launched a series of flying kicks.
I don't know how she did it, but one of the doors was kicked and slammed to the ground with a loud bang.
Xie Xiao: "..."
Didn't we agree to disguise ourselves and keep a low profile?
Good heavens, the commotion is so loud, it's as if the ghosts inside are being told that someone is coming to cause trouble.
Mingzhuo saw her eyes widen in surprise, smiled, and thought to himself, "Sorry, I'm really here to cause trouble, so of course I'll do whatever it takes to be as high-profile as possible."
