While collecting ancient artifacts during the day, Chu Moqing saw a small teapot with a chipped edge run away in front of him, heading towards the stairwell on the basement floor.
What's even more incredible is that he was the only one who saw the strange scene; none of the museum's director or the officers who came with him noticed anything unusual.
Ye Jingyan and the others were on the first floor of the building in front, inspecting ancient artifacts, so they were unaware of what was happening here.
After returning, Chu Moqing told them about it, and then the group decided to explore the museum at night.
Ye Boxuan's words trailed off, giving Chu Moqing a bad feeling: "But what?"
Ye Boxuan's expression was indescribable: "It... is talking."
Chu Moqing: "What? Speak?"
Ye Jingyan, who was walking at the very end, said calmly, "It's not the thing that's speaking, but the ghost that's controlling it."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chi and Ye Tianfei instinctively leaned back to back.
Don't misunderstand, they're not afraid. After all, they've all experienced big events, so how could they be afraid?
They were just a little cold, so they stood back to back to keep each other warm. Yes, that's it!
Ye Boxuan's spiritual power is one level lower than Ye Jingyan's, but even this one level difference makes all the difference.
The higher the level, the greater the gap between ranks.
Ye Boxuan could hear the small teapot talking, but he didn't realize that the speaker was a ghost.
He could detect the fluctuations of spirits here, but he couldn't clearly see what those spirits looked like or what they were doing.
These problems don't exist for Ye Jingyan; he can clearly see the scene before him.
Ye Jingyan looked at the two people standing back to back, tilted his head and chuckled: "Are you two scared?"
"No, how could that be?"
"You're joking. We've seen all sorts of big scenes. What's there to be afraid of in a mere ghost?"
The two reacted strongly, arguing loudly, and then pressed themselves even closer together.
Ye Jingyan said "Oh," and pointed around them: "Then, if I told you there's more than one ghost around you, wouldn't you be afraid?"
"What? More than one?"
"Brother, this joke isn't funny at all, really!"
Chu Moqing silently came to their side and whispered to Wei Chi, "It's a bit chilly, squeeze in to warm up."
Wei Chi and Ye Tianfei quickly made way for Chu Moqing, who squeezed between them, forming a triangle back-to-back. As a result, there was a gap in the center.
Ye Boxuan: "..."
He was speechless at the actions of these three people. They were all so ambitious, not even including him!
He touched his nose and was about to walk towards Ye Tianfei and the others when he heard Ye Jingyan say, "You guys are such cowards, do your girls know that?"
Wei Chiyi said righteously, "Mr. Ye, I don't like hearing that. How can this be considered cowardly? We're cold, you know what cold means."
When a person gets cold, their internal energy weakens, and when that energy is low, they become more susceptible to being targeted by evil spirits. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the best solution is for us to keep each other warm. Captain Chu, am I right?
Chu Moqing's eye twitched slightly, but she still cooperated with him: "What you said is absolutely right!"
Ye Tianfei coughed and said confidently, "Anyway, Lingling understands me, so I don't care."
Ye Jingyan shook his head and reminded the three of them, "Friendly reminder, don't look back. If the nameless fire on your shoulders gets extinguished, you'll only be able to wait for Lingling to come."
"ah?"
"Brother, tell me you're joking."
"Brother, what you're saying means that there really is something behind us, not above us, but all around us?"
Ye Boxuan appeared silently beside Ye Jingyan, keeping his distance from Ye Tianfei and the other two.
Actually, ghosts aren't that scary. It's mainly because you can't see or touch them, and people have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, which is why it makes people feel uneasy.
Given how cold and damp it is here, it's impossible for them not to overthink things.
After using his mental power to force back the ghost floating to Wei Chi's right, Ye Jingyan said to them, "I'll go see. Are you staying here, or coming with me?"
"Together."
"Of course, we'll go together."
"Let's go, let's go, I really don't want to stay here anymore."
Ye Boxuan followed beside his elder brother and whispered, "Brother, can your mental power kill ghosts?"
"able."
"So, did you kill him?"
"No. They meant no harm."
Hearing that there was no malice, Ye Boxuan straightened his back and calmly looked around: "Then can you communicate with them? You can ask them for some information."
Now that they were next to the little teapot, Ye Jingyan looked at it and said, "I know you're hiding inside. I heard what you just said. If what you said is true, we might be able to stop you."
The four people behind him stared at each other, holding their breath as they looked at Ye Jingyan and the small teapot in front of him.
Ye Boxuan approached Ye Tianfei and whispered to him, "Make a fire."
Even if he had mental power, he didn't like the pitch-black surroundings.
Ye Tianfei then remembered that he could conjure fireballs!
It's all because of the eerie atmosphere here; it scared him so much that he forgot about his abilities.
A small flame appeared above them, making their vision a little better.
A shadow appeared in front of Ye Jingyan, but no one else could see it except Ye Jingyan.
This was a man wearing an old-style yellow military uniform, which was already tattered and worn. Ye Jingyan could even see several blast wounds on his body.
He was probably around thirty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, very thin, but with a bright and spirited look.
The soldier looked at Ye Jingyan in disbelief: "You can see me?"
Ye Jingyan stood up and nodded slightly: "Yes. Senior, why are you here? Which unit did you belong to in your previous life?"
The soldier became excited and wanted to grasp Ye Jingyan's hand, but considering his condition, he withdrew his hand and said, "I don't know why I'm here. I only know that I've been here for almost sixty years. As for who I am and which unit I was in before, I've forgotten."
Upon hearing Ye Jingyan's words, Ye Boxuan, Wei Chi, and Chu Moqing suddenly walked over and asked where Senior Ye Jingyan was. Ye Jingyan pointed to the location, and the three of them immediately stood at attention.
He straightened his clothes, his expression serious, and then with a loud "snap," Ye Boxuan shouted, "Salute!"
