Chapter 11 He stole my life! Ghost body swap
"Master Luo, what do you mean?"
The speed at which his face changes is faster than turning the pages of a book!
Mr. Ji, who was standing by, almost sprained his waist. It was obvious that he had some trust in the ghost hunter he had hired with great effort.
Luo Yingzhuo was already an extremely powerful person in Ji's father's eyes. He had personally witnessed him capturing a fierce ghost. However, such a powerful person suddenly changed his expression the moment he saw Zhu Huai.
Father Ji immediately understood what this meant.
This made Ji's father's eyes change when he looked at Zhu Huai, but looking at such a young face, Ji's father still had a hint of suspicion: Could it be that you can't judge a person by his appearance?
At the same time, from the moment Zhu Huai stepped into the room, a barely detectable trace of water vapor spread out like a cold mist.
The wet and salty smell stimulated people's senses, and a little bit of sweat seeped out of Luo Yingzhuo's forehead.
He didn't even dare to raise his head, and his eyes avoided the area where Zhu Huai was, as if it was an unobservable restricted area.
The glimpse he just happened to catch made the middle-aged man almost lose his breath, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly.
As ordinary people, Ji's father and Ji Yan will never know the extent of the oppression Luo Yingzhuo felt at this moment.
He suddenly felt like crying. He was only in his forties, in the prime of his life, and he really didn't want to die young.
Seeing Master Luo in front of him avoiding eyes, as if he didn't dare to look directly at him, especially not daring to look directly at what was behind his shoulder, Zhu Huai seemed to have guessed something.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the little mermaid with cold eyes sitting on his shoulder, which made Liu Xiang's eyes return to normal.
Zhu Huai said, "Why are you so nervous? You were also invited here to catch ghosts, right?
But you are a step too late, I have already caught this evil ghost."
As he spoke, Zhu Huai took out the leather puppet from his pocket and showed it to him. Luo Yingzhuo took a deep breath and said, "A living puppet!"
He exclaimed in his heart, but the expression on his face became calmer. Making evil spirits into leather puppets is a common method used by the Liu family and it is also their unique skill.
According to rumors, the Liu family's leather puppets can not only ward off ghosts, but also people. So, the young man in front of him must have some connection with the Liu family, or at least he is not an unknown dangerous person.
"Mr. Zhu, you are very capable. This evil ghost is so rampant. Before coming here, I thought there would be a fierce battle.
But seeing Mr. Zhu like this, I knew that his ghost-controlling skills were superior to mine."
Perhaps because he liked Zhu Huai very much, Luo Yingzhuo's tone was very polite, and he didn't seem unhappy at all that the trip was in vain.
However, catching ghosts is not an easy task after all. Being able to deal with these evil ghosts without any harm is already considered extremely lucky.
Luo Yingzhuo didn't do anything but he still received the gift money, so it can be said that he returned empty-handed.
After saying this, Luo Yingzhuo, who had realized that he was not needed here, was about to leave, but Zhu Huai couldn't help but stop him.
It was rare to see a living ghost hunter. Zhu Huai felt like he was seeing a rare animal. He had many questions he wanted to ask him.
The moment Zhu Huai stood in front of him, Luo Yingzhuo's heart skipped a beat.
He seemed to be able to faintly smell the wet and salty smell of water. The closer he got to the other party, the more it felt like he was getting closer to a black hole that swallowed everything.
This feeling of having no control over one's life and death was almost unheard of. Master Luo said tremblingly, "My dear brother, there is no grudge between you and me. I apologize for any offense I just caused. I hope you will forgive me..."
"This Heavenly Master is here to catch ghosts, right?"
Zhu Huai took out his cell phone and showed Luo Yingzhuo the cursed photo he had taken.
Zhu Huai said, "Have you seen these talismans?"
Luo Yingzhuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was serious business.
He took a step back, moving a little further away from Zhu Huai, as if there was something extremely terrifying on him.
After getting to a safe distance, Master Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent down and looked at it with difficulty.
Zhu Huai looked at Luo Yingzhuo, who was standing two meters away from him, puzzled: "..."
Zhu Huai asked, "Why is he standing so far away from me? Is it possible to communicate properly like this?"
Yin Quan replied cautiously: "I think he just wants to save his own life."
This Master Luo is a man who cherishes his life.
Master Luo said, "I already know about Ji Yan's situation. Bai An must be the one who cast the curse.
These Yin Fu were obtained when he was worshipping in a temple. They had the mark of evil spirits on them and could cause the victim to be corrupted by evil spirits.
But evil spirits are evil spirits after all. Bai An was attacked by his own Yin Fu. He was already poor in fortune, and now he is even more haunted by Yin resentment. His future is destined to be filled with bad luck. In short..."
Master Luo paused, his eyes devoid of pity, "Even this guy gets a lump in his teeth when he drinks water."
Bai An was indeed miserable. Hearing that Bai An would only get more unlucky, he couldn't help but smile with pity.
"It was my fault that he got backlashed. If he wants to attack my brother, I won't let him go."
Master Luo blinked, a righteous smile appearing on his face.
He said: "Evil spirits are violent and difficult to control. I think Bai An harmed himself and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Zhu Huai was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the seemingly honest face again, he suddenly saw a gleam of brilliance in those eyes.
Zhu Huai asked again: "Do you know the origin of these talismans? Bai An is just an ordinary person, it is impossible for him to find such things easily."
Luo Yingzhuo also fell into deep thought. To be honest, he was quite happy to explain these small problems to Zhu Huai. It was just a piece of cake, not to mention that he was also invited by Ji's father.
He had traveled far and wide and was knowledgeable, but even so, Luo Yingzhuo had never seen such a talisman.
Looking at the clear picture and carefully observing the pattern of the talisman, Luo Yingzhuo seemed to remember something: "I seem to have seen it before."
He picked up the package he was carrying and began to rummage through it. Zhu Huai thought he was going to take out some magical weapon, but Luo Yingzhuo took out a latest model of three-fold mobile phone in front of him, opened a forum, and found a post for Zhu Huai.
Looking at such a high-end, trendy and classy scene, Zhu Huai's lips moved.
He suddenly thought of his own family member who lived in the deep mountains and forests, had never left his ancestral home, and didn't even pull an internet cable to worship the gods. It seemed that he was the one who was a little out of date.
After staying with Liu Xiang for a long time, Zhu Huai even thought that these heavenly masters and ghosts and gods should be far away from the world and untainted by the dust.
It turns out that the truth is that Liu Xiang doesn't care about human technology at all, and that guy is the abnormal one.
Zhu Huai looked down and saw a forum filled with a variety of posts.
Some of them look like supernatural novels, while others seem like personal experiences, telling strange stories that happened to them in a narrative tone.
Some of the information here is both true and false, and even people in the forum are not sure whether the posts they see and the users they come into contact with are human or ghosts.
The post in front of Zhu Huai was published from a first-person perspective, and the title of the post was:
After receiving the amulet from my cousin, I felt like he had stolen my life!
This post has a very high number of floors, but it shows that it has been blocked and no more comments can be made.
The reason why this happened is that the author of this post had passed away a long time ago. After learning this news, everything in this post became shrouded in an inexplicable and weird atmosphere.
[lz: My cousin has lived in my house since he was a child. He lives in the room next to mine. He calls me brother, eats my family's food, lives in my house, but still comes to snatch my toys from me.
LZ: He wanted to take my parents away, but he actually succeeded!
LZ: After returning from the trip, he came home and gave me the amulet he had gotten from the temple. Since then, I, who used to be the top student in the class, have failed exams one after another, my grades have dropped, and I was interviewed by the teacher.
I had a lot of acne and I looked much uglier in the mirror. This was not who I was and I hated it.
At home, my parents actually asked me to call him brother and treat him as their real son. He looked more and more like me, while my own face became unfamiliar.
I'm becoming less and less like myself.
My voice became worse and worse, my singing became off-key, I couldn't speak, and I couldn't even sing my favorite songs anymore.
[Lz: Until one day, I found that he had actually moved into my room. He was playing with my toy car, sitting on my bed and smiling at me. He said to me: Brother, your home is so nice, I want to stay here too.
LZ: I don't want him to stay here, he is a parasite. Now he not only wants to take away my room and my family, but also my life. This damn thief actually went out to travel with my parents and left me alone at home.
I opened the talisman he gave me and saw what was written inside. He actually told me to die. I hate him and want to kick him out, but it's too late. Everything is too late...
Looking at these shocking texts, Zhu Huai slowly frowned. He flipped through the past messages. Some people said that the author was sensationalizing, some said that his story was well-written, and some thought that there was something wrong with the author himself, and he was full of malice towards his cousin. Perhaps the truth was not as he said, and he was rejecting his cousin.
Some people even made bold guesses, thinking that something was wrong with the author, and that he might have schizophrenia, which was why he mistook his imaginary personality for his cousin.
But what no one expected was that after leaving those ambiguous words, the author never posted anything again. It was not until a long time later, when the news of a college student committing suicide by lying on the railway tracks became a hot topic, that someone connected that incident with this post.
Because the OP had left a message before saying that if he didn't succeed, he would end his life in this way.
But the most unexpected thing was what happened afterwards.
After his death, some of his information was made public, and everyone discovered that he didn't have any so-called cousin at all, because he himself was the cousin who was living in someone else's home and was ostracized by the family.
His cousin, on the other hand, has outstanding appearance, is an excellent student, and is loved by his parents. He seems to be the lucky one who is born to be spoiled.
Not only that, he has a face like that and a voice like heavenly. With such excellent conditions, he quickly became a hit on the singing show and became a well-known singer.
However, although his voice is extremely beautiful, he cannot compose his own songs.
He can only sing but not compose music. This flaw forced him to sing other people's songs and also caused him to be silent for a while due to some copyright disputes. But until now, there are still some fans who are still waiting for his voice.
He did not express much about his cousin's experience.
This has led many fans to praise his open-mindedness and his kind and generous nature. After all, facing such a vicious person, he was able to forgive him and visit him every year on the anniversary of his death, regardless of past grudges. Doesn't this show that he has a kind heart?
Lu Shuyin, this is his name,
Looking at this post, Zhu Huai's eyes changed a little, and an incredible idea flashed through his mind.
He said, "I'm afraid this Lu Shuyin is not the original Lu Shuyin."
As soon as the words fell, Yin Quan's voice came:
[The one-star mission Sleepwalker has been completed and a new mission has been unlocked.]
Two-star quest: Ghost Swap: There are many people in this city whose lives have been taken away, whose everything has been taken away. Please find them and return the lives that belong to them.
[You have received the reward: Tianshi Lu; Congratulations, you have completed the task, your lifespan has increased! ]
After hearing this, Zhu Huai's eyes changed a little, and he remembered what Yin Quan had said to him before.
If he didn't complete the mission, he would die. Now that he has completed the mission, his life span has increased. The small notebook that Yin Quan gave him before turned out to be the so-called Record of the Heavenly Master.
So each of these tasks is the countdown to his life.
Zhu Huai sighed. He accepted the task and said with emotion, "It's really a long and arduous journey."
Yin Quan flapped his wings to encourage him: "Come on, you can do it!"
Before Zhu Huai could even feel touched, it continued, "If all else fails, you can always cling to your indenture master."
Zhu Huai couldn't help but look back at the little mermaid on his shoulder. The mermaid had been staring at him intently from beginning to end. There was only him in those dark golden eyes, as if nothing else mattered.
Information about ghost body-swapping came into his mind. Lu Shuyin, or rather, the former Lu Shuyin, was the one who had died and whose body was occupied and taken away.
In addition, another name caught Zhu Huai's eye, Yang Yan. This name did not belong to a public figure, nor to a star or singer, so Zhu Huai had no idea where to start.
And if he was not mistaken, the person now called Yang Yan might not be the real Yang Yan, but another person who replaced him and took away something from his life.
Zhu Huai browsed the forum for a while. It seemed that everything that happened to these people was related to the talisman. What on earth was it and where did it come from?
He thought of Bai An, but Bai An could not ask anything now, because even Bai An himself had long forgotten where the talisman in his hand came from. He seemed to have fallen into a mystery that he could not understand.
In fact, Bai An had long realized that there was something wrong with the talisman, but his greed still drove him to attack other people. The reason why he did not attack Ji Yan was that he was afraid of his background.
After thinking about it, Zhu Huai took out the leather puppet of the female ghost with a broken leg. However, when he wanted to ask the female ghost questions about the talisman, even at the risk of being torn to pieces and having its soul scattered, it could not say a word.
The broken-legged puppet was trembling in Zhu Huai's hand. Seeing that it was really useless, Zhu Huai could only put it back. It was so majestic when it scared them before, but when it was its turn to show off, it was completely useless.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
The previous article has been modified. The second chapter has added a sentence about Zhu Huai dying if he does not complete the task, which does not affect the reading experience.
