Chapter 55: Born with a Yin-attracting Physique
Bo Hanzhou looked at his face which was bitten to pieces by fish and shook his head in an indescribable manner.
The green-haired water ghost said excitedly: "You smell very good, why don't you give me a few bites?"
Bo Hanzhou's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Jiang Ci: "Ghosts can eat people?"
Jiang Ci said calmly, "Yes."
Bo Hanzhou felt a chill down his spine.
With so many ghosts coming to the house, doesn't it mean he gets possessed by ghosts every time?
"Are you a master of metaphysics?" The green-haired water ghost saw her giving the man a talisman and asked curiously, "Master, are you going to arrest me? Okay, okay!"
"I'm tired of staying in this crappy artificial lake. The silt at the bottom of the lake hasn't been cleaned up in years, and the water is stinky."
Bo Hanzhou looked at him with disgust, and suddenly felt that ghosts didn't seem so scary after all.
He also chatters on and on like a living person.
Apart from looking a little more terrifying, it seems to be no different from a living person.
Jiang Ci asked him, "Were you also captured as a substitute?"
The green-haired water ghost shook his head: "No, I couldn't bear to turn on the air conditioner on such a hot day, so I came here to take a shower and accidentally drowned."
He still remembers that the last water ghost laughed happily and said that he was finally free after seeing him drown.
From then on, he became a water ghost in the artificial lake. Not only did his body finally cool down, but even his heart was completely cold.
This place was abandoned after a series of deaths, and few people come here usually.
Not only was he freezing like a dog every day under the water, he was also bored to death.
It was rare for a living person to see him, so of course he had to blurt out everything he hadn't said in the past few years.
After hearing his story, both were speechless.
"Can't he leave here?" Bo Hanzhou asked her. After all, the water ghost looked really ugly.
Not only was it covered in green hair, but its body was also swollen from being soaked, making it look as horrible as a giant. Its body and face were covered with marks from being bitten by fish, and its skin and flesh were rolled up, looking very creepy.
Jiang Ci explained: "Water ghosts are a type of earthbound spirit. Once the resentment of a dead soul is not resolved, the soul will be trapped in the place where it died and cannot leave. They can only wander in the same place until the next substitute can free them. Or, the resentment can be resolved, but it is more convenient to find a substitute than to resolve the resentment that has accumulated for many years."
"Water ghosts, ghosts who died at the crossroads, and ghosts who hanged themselves are all earthbound spirits."
Bo Hanzhou listened to her explanation very carefully and asked curiously, "So the reason why car accidents often happen at intersections is because of ghosts?"
"There are accidents, and there are ghosts." Jiang Ci said dimly: "If you living people can obey traffic laws and not drink and drive, there will be fewer car accidents."
The souls of those who die in car accidents will have a cruel appearance.
Some have broken limbs and arms.
Some have separate facial features.
Some had half their heads missing.
Even if the remains are repaired after death, large scars will still be left, which is really unsightly.
The green-haired water ghost listened to her with great interest, and did not forget to raise his hand to speak, "Master, if I don't find a substitute, how can I resolve the resentment? I don't think I have any resentment."
Jiang Ci glanced at him and said, "Think about it carefully."
The water ghost played with the big gold chain floating on the water, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Oh, right, when I was drowning, the first thing I thought in my mind was that the air conditioner seemed to be on when I went out."
Jiang Ci: “…”
Bo Hanzhou: "..."
Well, in order to save on air conditioning fees, he secretly came to the artificial lake to swim, but he didn't expect to drown due to leg cramps. It turned out that the air conditioner at home was not turned off.
This is indeed enough to make people feel resentful.
“Master, I really don’t want to stay at the bottom of the lake anymore. I already had rheumatism when I was alive, and now it’s even worse. What should I do in the future? Wuuuuu…” The green-haired water ghost covered his face and cried bitterly. His hairy hands stretched out from the water, trying to grab Jiang Ci’s shoes, “Master, please help me…”
Jiang Ci frowned: "Don't pick on me, it's dirty."
The water ghost withdrew his hand awkwardly.
"You're not really going to take him home, are you?" Bo Hanzhou felt it was creepy to raise such a water ghost.
Jiang Ci said firmly: "What a joke, if I want to bring a handsome guy like you home, okay?"
The corners of Bo Hanzhou's lips slightly raised, and a smile bloomed in his eyes.
The green-haired water ghost said unyieldingly: "Master, I was just soaked in water for too long and got a little swollen. In fact, I was very handsome when I was alive, no worse than this boy!"
As he spoke, a piece of scalp slid off.
The water ghost picked it up without disgust and put it back on his head, smiling at her with his black teeth bared.
"Report the horoscope." Jiang Ci felt it was too much to bear to watch.
The water ghost quickly reported it.
Jiang Ci calculated and said calmly: "You have done nothing wrong in your life. You are an ordinary person, but your life span is a bit short, only thirty-five years."
"What?" The green-haired water ghost was confused. "I was 28 when I died. Does that mean that even if I didn't drown, I could only live for another seven years?"
“And I’ve been in this lake for almost seven years.”
"So, when your life is over, the underworld will take you to the underworld to report. Before that, you must not have any evil thoughts and use a living person as a substitute. Otherwise, even if you are freed from the earthly bondage and go to the underworld, you will still be judged and thrown into hell."
When the green-haired water ghost heard this, he nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Master."
After a pause, he said to Bo Hanzhou embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, little brother. I really wanted you to be my substitute just now."
Bo Hanzhou smiled with his face but not his heart; his ankle was still hurting.
"But brother, you smell so good. Even if I don't use you as a substitute, other ghosts won't let you go, right?" The green-haired water ghost sighed.
Bo Hanzhou was startled and realized the seriousness of the matter. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Ci eagerly, with a gleam of hope in his eyes.
Jiang Ci smiled: "So last time in the hospital, I asked you to give me the bracelet, you should have given it to me."
Bo Hanzhou now understood that she did not want the bracelet to rob him, but to use the agarwood bracelet to help him ward off evil spirits.
He suddenly remembered something.
"That day in the hospital, was there a ghost behind me?"
"It's just a headless ghost." Jiang Ci said casually.
Bo Hanzhou's eyes widened: "?"
What do you mean there is just a headless ghost?
Isn’t a headless ghost scary enough?
"He's still following me?"
"No, I arranged for him to work somewhere else." Jiang Ci said with a smile, "So, do you want to cooperate?"
Bo Hanzhou looked at her smiling face with a dagger hidden in it, and felt a little uneasy.
"How do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Ci said honestly: "You are born with a physique that attracts evil spirits. I want to use you to find a little ghost."
Bo Hanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Little ghost, there is nothing to be afraid of. I can promise you."
