Chapter 79: What the Ghost Licked...
Wang Qiuni's expressions were varied and it was obvious that she had suffered greatly.
"First, tell me what you did after you first discovered the body." Qin Qinsen sat down facing Wang Qiuni. His calm demeanor gave the other party a reliable signal, and Wang Qiuni immediately recalled it.
After lunch that day, Wang Qiuni arrived at the store. The door was unlocked, and she thought it was Brother Yong who had arrived early. Just as she was about to open the door to tease him, she heard a clacking sound under her feet.
She stepped into the blood.
Unpleasant memories came back to her mind. Wang Qiuni's face gradually turned pale, her eyes were blank, and she was still talking, "...The ground was covered with blood. Brother Yong was lying there with a big hole in his back. There was blood everywhere..."
"Have some tea." He added some hot tea. After hearing her description, Qin Qinsen had a guess in his mind. He motioned her to slow down and not go into so much detail. "You were the first person to discover the body. Plus, he was obsessed with you and died from the evil spirit that devoured his heart. And you just happened to step on his dying blood. With the right time, place, and people, it's normal for him to think he was the murderer and haunt you."
"How can this be normal?!" Wang Qiuni almost collapsed. "I'm just working, how have I ever offended him to torture me like this?"
"Because before the evil ghost kills someone, he changes his appearance to that of the person he loves the most and cares about the most at that time. If I'm not mistaken, the face he saw before he died was yours."
Combining Fang Nanxing's experience and his vivid description last night, it was hard for Qin Qinsen not to understand.
The evil spirits use the desires of the human heart as bait to deceive the living. Not everyone is as lucky as Fang Nanxing, who has a talisman to protect him. Ordinary people who are unprepared have no chance of winning against the evil spirits.
Hearing Qin Qinsen's words, Wang Qiuni was furious. "That's not my fault. It was clearly Li Yong's fault. Why am I the one who suffers?"
Fang Nanxing felt the same way and nodded frequently beside him, "Yes, Brother Qin, this is too unreasonable."
"There's no point in talking to ghosts, especially those that are transformed from people killed by wronged souls and evil spirits. They have no reason and won't enter reincarnation unless they are liberated." Qin Qinsen shook his head helplessly, knowing that Wang Qiuni would find it hard to accept for the time being, but there was no point in hiding when she was in trouble.
"I can only be thankful that you are lucky enough to meet Nanxing."
Otherwise, how could he have suddenly discovered Wang Qiuni's impending danger last night through divination? Teng Sufei blamed the excessive time he'd spent on divination and exorcism. To avoid disrupting his rest, he took him directly back to his apartment, leading to the morning rush hour traffic jam.
"Take the door god portrait and the talisman paper first. We'll stick them on the front door later." Qin Qinsen rolled up the portrait, tied it with a red string and handed it over. "Lead the way. Let's finish it quickly so you can go to bed."
Wang Qiuni followed Qin Qinsen with a sad face. They circled Siyun Village twice before finally getting on the bus home.
"Why not just get in the car?" Wang Qiuni wondered. Siyun Village wasn't big, but it was still full of detours. Her cheeks were flushed, her back was slightly sweaty, and her clothes were sticking to her, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Exercise your muscles and get more sun. It's good for you." Qin Qinsen explained, "You've been followed by a ghost for half a month. Your forehead is black and your eyes are cloudy. If you don't get rid of the evil spirit, you will die of your own bad luck before you die at Li Yong's hands."
"But..." Wang Qiuni glanced at the various papers passing by outside the car window. They didn't look like they had a strong yang energy at all.
"It's just a paper figurine. How can it be as strong as the yin energy that carries with you?"
After hearing this, Wang Qiuni was full of complaints but didn't know whether she should say it or not. In the end, she could only respond with an expressionless "Oh".
The group came to Wang Qiuni's rented place in silence. Qin Qinsen waved at the door, stepped aside, and signaled everyone to look at the door.
"Oh my god!" Fang Nanxing widened his eyes, pulled Wang Qiuni and squeezed next to Teng Su, refusing to move away even if he was disliked.
Seeing his useless movements, Qin Qinsen said unhappily, “The corridor is so narrow, isn’t it uncomfortable for you to squeeze together?”
"Brother Qin, has this door been licked by a ghost?"
The door panels were covered in blood-red stains, as if someone had painted them with a brush dipped in blood and chalk. The most outrageous thing was the door lock, which was shiny and greasy, and was the only clean part of the door.
It was too clean. Staring intently at the recently replaced door lock, which had cost her a month's salary, Wang Qiuni's scalp tingled, her face turning from white to blue, and she kept rubbing her right fingers, almost tearing her skin.
Everyone can understand the reason - it's a fingerprint lock.
"vomit!"
Wang Qiuni couldn't help but dry heave upon hearing Fang Nanxing's speculation. Fortunately, she had only drunk tea that morning, otherwise the unventilated corridor would have smelled sour.
"It's been cleaned, don't be afraid."
Qin Qinsen's words did not comfort Wang Qiuni at all. "Tell me, was it licked by a ghost?"
His face was full of requests for confirmation, and he seemed to be refusing to open the door unless he got an answer.
"No, it's not that disgusting. Don't listen to Nanxing's nonsense." Qin Qinsen glared at the person laughing next to Teng Su and pulled him over. "If you feel disgusted, we can just enter the password to open the door. Come on."
Without giving Fang Nanxing a chance to refuse, Wang Qiuni quickly reported the password to her front door. Under Qin Qinsen's glare, Fang Nanxing stretched out a finger aggrievedly and quickly opened the door.
A strong yin energy hit me in the face.
Qin Qinsen had just broken the miasma at the door, and the room was completely different from when Wang Qiuni left this morning.
Girls love cleanliness. Even though Wang Qiuni works two jobs a day, she is still full of energy. She buys groceries, cooks, and cleans the house. She doesn't feel tired at all after going through the whole process. She can even go downstairs to chat and play with the stray cat.
So she was sure that the walls of the house she left this morning were white, the carpet on the floor was milky white, and the new cat bed on the balcony was made by her using her cream-colored pajamas.
It's absolutely impossible to be stained with blood!
There were bloody handprints not only on the floor and walls, but also on the ceiling. From the front door all the way to the bedroom door, there was blood everywhere.
Wang Qiuni suddenly shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "Just like half a month ago..."
It was exactly the same as the day the body was found half a month ago.
Blood flowed like water, back and forth between the bedroom and the door. Qin Qinsen took out more talismans and threw them into the air.
"It's obsession, not real blood." Wherever the talisman had come into contact with blood, it vanished. In the end, only the blood marks remained along the path from the front door to the bedroom.
"Two options. One, you act as bait tonight and lure the ghost out. Two, you act as bait now, and I forcibly capture him and take care of him immediately."
Wang Qiuni didn't hesitate at all and shouted, "Two!"
"Think carefully. If you choose the second option, you might get frightened or even injured," Qin Qinsen explained. "It's still early in the evening, and the Yang energy is strong. You've just been out in the sun, and this place has just been cleaned. The combination of these three factors is likely to irritate Li Yong and make him more aggressive."
"Choose two. The sooner it's resolved, the better." Wang Qiuni's eyes were blazing, her voice firm. "Didn't you say I'm lucky? You're all my benefactors, so why should I worry?"
Hearing this, Qin Qinsen chuckled, "That makes sense."
"Um..." Wang Qiuni spoke again. Just when everyone thought she had changed her mind, she asked weakly, "How much is it?"
