Chapter 405 Waiting for her to fall into the trap
Zhen Huijuan, who is no longer considered a living person, has a natural fear of things like yellow talismans.
Seeing the four talismans flying towards her, Zhen Huijuan's first reaction was to close her eyes.
The expected pain did not occur. She tentatively opened her eyes and saw the four talismans floating in front of her, shining with golden light like small lanterns being hung up.
Hearing Ye Wanxi's words, she hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up her courage and tentatively reached out to touch the nearest yellow talisman.
The hand that had long been forbidden from seeing or touching the light was not burned by the glittering golden light. Instead, it felt a long-lost warmth spreading from its palm to its limbs, dispelling the icy chill that had lingered on its body for years.
"This talisman..."
Seemingly sensing Zhen Huijuan's thoughts, Ye Wanxi explained with a faint smile, "This is a soul-stabilizing talisman. Using it can not only stabilize the soul but also ward off evil spirits. It is beneficial and harmless to them."
Zhen Huijuan blushed slightly, feeling deeply ashamed of her petty-minded thinking.
"Go now, or it will be too late to say anything if they really cause bloodshed."
Zhen Huijuan was the first to come to them because she died relatively young and hadn't had much exposure to the world, making her more vulnerable and easily influenced compared to others.
In addition, she was originally the type of person who went with the flow.
Stimulated by that murderous aura, he immediately lost his mind and, in a daze, followed the scent to cause trouble for Qi Xiaolian, the scapegoat.
Others may be more resilient than her, but once they are entangled by that malevolent energy, it's only a matter of time before they lose their minds.
If they come looking for them, that would be fine, but the real problem is that they might indiscriminately attack and harm innocent people, which would be difficult to handle.
Zhen Huijuan understood the seriousness of the matter when Ye Wanxi mentioned the evil aura. Hearing Ye Wanxi say this, she didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly put away the yellow talisman, and went to find Sister Fu and the others.
After she left, the expressions of the people in the room became somewhat subtle.
"Wanxi, is this really going to work? She went to bring people, oh no, she brought ghosts. What are we going to do? We can't just sit here and wait."
"We really have to just wait and see."
"Um?"
Ye Wanxi turned her head and glanced at Qi Xiaolian, saying with a half-smile, "Wait for your cousin to come find you."
"Looking for me?" Qi Xiaolian almost laughed in anger. "Trying to use me as a scapegoat? She should know that all her schemes and tricks have been exposed. How dare she come looking for me?"
"She dares to drag someone to die in her place, what else wouldn't she dare to do? It's precisely because of the problem you caused that those ghosts couldn't be subdued by the person behind her who helped her, which is why she's bound to come looking for you."
Gao Min frowned upon hearing this and asked in a low voice, "What's the logic behind this?"
"If something happens to you and those ghosts aren't caught, the ghost face sores will naturally backfire on her. The fewer and smaller the ghost face sores are on your mountain, the more and bigger they will be on her side. Finding a scapegoat isn't just about picking anyone. The birth dates and blood relationships must all match."
“This 'ghost face sore' is raging, and she won’t be able to find a suitable replacement anytime soon. But if no one helps her share the burden, she will die quickly. In that case, she will definitely come looking for you again, and she might even do anything to force you to submit.”
Qi Xiaolian's face paled slightly, but she unconsciously tightened her grip on Gao Qiang's hand, and a surge of resentment and disappointment rose in her heart.
She's already been avoiding them so much, yet they still won't let her go; they really want to wipe her out completely!
Ye Wanxi couldn't help but yawn as she spoke: "So, we don't need to do anything, we just need to wait, wait for her to walk right into our trap."
The young couple leaned against each other, looking at Gao Min for advice.
"Do whatever Wanxi says. If you want to live, listen to her and do more and talk less."
"Um."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Wanxi went upstairs with a yawn. Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind everyone: "Remember to fix the glass door in your room that was broken. I hope this is the first and last time this happens."
It was a seemingly casual remark, yet it sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present.
Gao Qiang immediately complained: "We really didn't break the glass on the door; it was Ms. Zhen who just broke it."
"I don't care about that. You can sort out your own room issues. Since you say that Miss Zhen broke the glass, why don't you wait for her to come back and then go talk to her about it?"
Gao Min and the other two: "..." What the hell? Why don't they just ask her for compensation? Why make these innocent, defenseless villagers go to a ghost to ask for compensation? You're the real devil!
The group knew they were in the wrong, but dared not ask Zhen Huijuan, the culprit, for money. In the end, they could only reluctantly promise to use their savings to compensate Ye Wanxi for her losses.
Gao Qiang and his companion initially thought it was just a piece of glass, and that they could easily buy a similar one and replace it without much effort or expense.
However, they clearly underestimated Xiang Yueqi's doting affection for his junior sister, and even more so, they underestimated the power of Xiang Yueqi's family.
This villa may look unassuming, but its interior decoration and furnishings are of the highest quality.
This one piece of glass cost the two of them more than half a year's salary!
This was the first time Qi Xiaolian had ever spent so much money in her life, and she was so heartbroken that tears welled up in her eyes. Then, as if she had just remembered something, she exclaimed in horror, "Miss Zhen went to bring those wronged spirits back? I wonder if they are good people? Will their behavior be the same as Miss Zhen's? If they are..."
Qi Xiaolian pointed cautiously at the broken glass, her fear and unease evident in her eyes.
Gao Min and the other woman quickly understood her meaning. What if those wronged spirits were as reckless as Miss Zhen and liked to come in through the window? Wouldn't they have to pay Ye Wanxi for window repairs every day?
If this continues, they'll be bankrupt and forced to work like slaves, serving tea and water, with no way to escape!
To this end, Gao Min racked her brains and came up with a terrible idea: she tore off a large piece of paper and stuck it on the empty window frame of their room.
The sign reads: "Scum and ghosts are not allowed to enter. Please use the main entrance to enter and exit, or you will bear the consequences!"
Unexpectedly, this one sentence infuriated the wronged spirits that Zhen Huijuan had brought back.
The next morning, Ye Wanxi had just gotten up when she heard a noisy commotion downstairs. To be precise, Gao Min and the other two were surrounded and subjected to soul-searching criticism from these ghosts.
"What do you mean by 'no scum or ghosts allowed'? What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on ghosts with prejudice? And you're comparing us to scum, do you think we're scum too? Damn it, I won't swallow this! If you don't make this clear today, none of you are leaving!"
