In addition to thanking [Smile, Smile, Attack of the Kill] for the chicken drumstick, I also thank several other friends for the mineral water rewards^_^

Zhao Xi took a sip of tea, collected himself, and then said, "Last night, I followed your instructions and placed this talisman and peach branch under my pillow before falling asleep. It worked wonders at first, and I fell asleep right away. It was more effective than sleeping pills, and even the ghost that scared me the night before didn't dare come near me. But then, it seemed like it could enter my dreams and push me down from a great height, startling me awake. Afterward, I was a little confused, and because I needed to go to the bathroom urgently, I went to the bathroom without thinking... But just as I was about to come out of the bathroom, two thin, white legs appeared in the gap below the bathroom door... At first, I thought it was Concubine Si. I called out to her twice, but she didn't respond. I opened the door and went out, only to see a very scary girl, grinning at me with a creepy smile. As she laughed, she crawled into the wall and kept waving at me... Xu Fei, do you think this is a sign that I'm about to die? Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?"

I frowned. "That's unlikely. Don't jump to conclusions. Let me ask you, the person who scared you unconscious the night before last was a man, and the one who scared you unconscious last night was a woman?"

Zhao Xi nodded, then shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure. The ghost that appeared the night before yesterday was a ghost wrapped in a black cloak. Judging from his face, he looked somewhat like a man, but not entirely, as he was very petite. And the one I saw last night was indeed a woman. Judging from her figure... she was somewhat similar to the one I saw the night before yesterday."

she recalled.

"It seems that the ghost that appeared before and after is most likely the same ghost. If this speculation is correct, then Zhao Xi, you don't have to worry. This ghost is purely motivated, and this motivation is not to kill you."

I said, taking a sip of tea.

"Really? Xu Fei, don't lie to me... If you didn't want to kill me, why would you come out to scare me every night? If you go on like this, even if I'm not killed, I will be scared to death sooner or later!" Zhao Xi said in horror.

I thought about it and it was true. Even if they didn't do anything, Zhao Xi would still die from excessive fright.

"What's more, since you are not trying to kill me, why do you want to scare me? You said it was for a purpose, so does that mean there is someone behind the scenes?" Zhao Xi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

I put the teacup on the table and nodded gently. "Although it's just a guess, I think this possibility is quite high. Think about it, if that ghost wanted to kill you, and had two chances to do it directly, but didn't do it, and simply scared you unconscious, this would not have happened if there wasn't someone behind the scenes directing it. I've seen a lot of those evil ghosts. If they want to kill someone, they won't even give you a chance to breathe. - Think about it, have you offended anyone recently?"

Zhao Xi lowered his head and thought silently for a long time. Suddenly he raised his head and said, "Could it be him?"

"who?"

"Huo Liang!" Zhao Xi's face suddenly turned cold. "Before you came to my house that day, Huo Liang asked Lao Liu to come find me. You know this. At that time, Lao Liu asked me to go find Huo Liang, saying that he needed me, but I didn't agree. And when I was with Huo Liang at that time, I heard from Huo Liang that Lao Liu was a very powerful ghost master. His ability is probably similar to yours, Xu Fei. Not only can he catch ghosts, he can also raise ghosts. - If you think about it carefully, the possibility of it being Huo Liang is very high."

I think so too. I fought with Lao Liu back then, but he summoned two little ghosts to greet me, while he himself disappeared with the injured Huo Liang. Now Lao Liu brought Huo Liang back to Jiangzhou, and the first thing he did was to find Zhao Xi. His main purpose was to get the real Candle Dragon Blood. Zhao Xi had already given the real Candle Dragon Blood to me, so he couldn't give it to me even if he wanted to. After sending Lao Liu away, Huo Liang was unwilling to give up, so he asked Lao Liu to summon little ghosts to scare Zhao Xi every night until Zhao Xi could no longer bear the torment of such fear. Then Lao Liu descended from the sky and made his demands. At that time, Zhao Xi might have easily fallen for him. After all, being scared by all kinds of ghosts every day would give anyone a heart attack. It's unbearable for anyone.

Not to mention women.

Suddenly, Zhao Xi took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. "This is the contact information that Old Liu left behind the other day. Before he left, he said this: 'This is my contact information. You'd better take it carefully, because I think you will need it soon.'"

There was a mobile phone number on the note. I thought about it and said, "It seems that it is clear who is the mastermind behind this incident. How about this, Zhao Xi, I will sleep with you tonight..." "Bang", before I could finish my words, Su Xiaoniu, who was still sleeping in the bed, threw a pillow at me and hit me on the head.

Then she yawned lazily and said, "Xiao Feifei, I'm hungry!"

I picked up the pillow and asked her, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." But I was muttering in my heart, how could a ghost be hungry?

Su Xiaoniu hugged another pillow and said incoherently, "I want to eat zongzi, Jiaxing zongzi! I also want milk, not sour milk, pure milk, preferably fresh milk!"

My hands trembled. "No way? You said I could make zongzi, but this fresh milk... where am I supposed to squeeze it for you so suddenly?"

"I don't care! I'm so hungry! Go quickly!" Su Xiaoniu rolled on the bed with the pillow in her arms. Her playful and coquettish look didn't allow me to refuse at all!
