I felt a chill run down my spine. I glanced at the faceless female ghost, dressed in red, with disheveled hair, and a slight sigh of relief. Then I asked, "Why are you here if you're not going to reincarnate?"
That’s right, this faceless female ghost is the one in red we have been talking about!
Ever since she scared the police away in Jiaxing city and allowed me to leave safely, she has been missing. I didn’t expect her to end up here!
"I'm here to find my enemies. What's more, I don't want to be reincarnated!" The man in red had a sad face.
What actually intrigued me was that the sun was so bright outside. How could a female ghost like her have traveled all the way to such a place? Generally speaking, ghosts are almost completely annihilated when exposed to the sun. Huo Yan had nearly died from sunburn on her way back after killing Luo Yujia. Fortunately, the weather suddenly turned overcast, saving her life. This has happened before.
Until Su Xiaoniu told me that the red-clothed person was a newly formed ghost. Newborn ghosts haven't completely lost their yang energy yet, so running in the sun is not a big deal. What's more, the red-clothed person didn't necessarily come here as a ghost. Maybe he possessed someone else along the way?
After thinking about it, this is the only possibility.
At this time, Ning Xue asked me in surprise: "Xu Fei, who are you talking to?"
I said it was Hongyi, and Ning Xue immediately said excitedly: "Is Hongyi here?" I nodded, and Ning Xue asked if they could meet?
I thought about it, and Su Xiaoniu told me that with my current level of Taoism and the ability of mediumship, I can let Ning Xue put her hand on my shoulder, and as a "medium", I can meet and even communicate with the ghosts haunting the world of the living.
I have now mastered the mediumship to a low level, but I never thought that it could allow people in the world of the living to communicate with ghosts!
I immediately did as I was told, using my psychic powers to allow Ning Xue to place her arm around my shoulders. After a moment, Ning Xue's pupils suddenly changed, and I could even faintly see a hint of tears. Holy crap, this was the first time I'd seen Ning Xue look so sad. It seemed like this red dress was truly important to her.
"Hongyi? Can you hear me?" Ning Xue suppressed her impulse and asked tremblingly as she looked at the faceless female ghost floating in front of her.
"Sister Xue..." Hongyi wanted to rush over to hug her, but suddenly stopped. She covered her face and said, "I've become like this, Sister Xue, aren't you afraid of me?"
Ning Xue was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Silly boy, we haven't been good sisters for so many years for nothing. Besides, nothing scares me."
Hearing this, Hong Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, then floated over and said, "Sister Xue, you must not use that mask, otherwise you will end up like me. That woman in a suit is a very cruel woman. I came here this time to seek revenge on her!"
Ning Xue nodded and said, "I know that Xu Fei bought this set of facial mask products just to confuse her and help her find clues. But, Hongyi, don't be so impulsive. We will find a way to avenge you."
The girl in red glanced at me and said, "Sister Xue, do you know this guy...?"
Ning Xue smiled and said, "It's a long story..." I told Hongyi how Ning Xue and I had met at the Jiangzhou Express Company, and even told her that I could exorcise ghosts and demons.
The man in red was even more shocked. He said, "No wonder I couldn't possess you. It turns out you're a Taoist priest who catches ghosts and exorcises demons!"
Taoist priest?
Damn it, I’m not a Taoist priest!
I was about to explain myself when the man in red suddenly knelt before me and said to me devoutly, "Master Taoist, please save me!"
I quickly helped her up and said, "Boss Ning's business is my business. Don't worry, I will definitely help you."
"That's not what I'm talking about." The man in red refused to get up.
I frowned and asked her if there was anything else she needed my help with.
The man in red sighed and said, "My body has been taken away by the police. I'm afraid it will be cremated in a few days. Then I will be forcibly taken to the underworld to be reincarnated. But I don't want to be reincarnated. Is there any way you can prevent me from being reincarnated?"
I said in surprise, "If you don't want to reincarnate, what do you want to do in the world of the living? To seek revenge?"
Hongyi shook her head and said, "That's not all. Even if I take revenge, I don't want to be reincarnated." She glanced at Ning Xue and said, "I can't bear to leave Sister Xue. If I reincarnate, I won't be able to see Sister Xue again."
Ning Xue's body trembled slightly and she was speechless.
I scratched my head. Damn, how can I prevent ghosts from reincarnating? I can't do this kind of thing at all! I had to ask Su Xiaoniu for help.
This little girl Su said lazily, "That's not difficult. You sign a formal master-servant ghost contract with her, and no one can take her away. Unless she wants to be reincarnated, or you die."
Is this even possible? I hurriedly asked Su Xiaoniu how to sign a formal ghost contract.
Su Xiaoniu said it was similar to a regular ghost contract, except the procedure was a bit more complicated. First, I needed blood from Red Clothes' corpse. Then, I'd get some bones, hair, or other unholy matter—even ashes would be fine. Then, I'd collect all of this unholy matter in a cup and stir it all with my own blood. This would become "corpse soup." Finally, I'd have Red Clothes drink the soup. At the same time, while chanting the "ghost-controlling spell," I'd use my blood to print the character "主" (Master) on Red Clothes' back, then circle it. This would signify that the ghost already had a master, saving the ghost messengers from the task of taking her to the underworld.
