☆, Chapter 118 Signing a Contract
The first time, Yu Jiuyin didn't even say hello, and they didn't even see how Yu Jiuyin got to the car. They just felt that his speed was astonishing.
Lifting Rong Zhuo's eyelids, Yu Jiuyin took a look. His face was devoid of a smile; he was clearly furious. He fashioned a paper puppet with one hand, then thrust three silver needles into it. Then, he slapped Rong Zhuo hard on the back.
Rong Zhuo opened his eyes coughing almost the next second.
"Yu Xiaojiu" He seemed to want to say something, but was grabbed by the collar by Yu Jiuyin.
"What if my brother can't make it?" Yu Jiuyin never threatened anyone in such a childish way.
"I'll go accompany him." But Rong Zhuo seemed to know what Yu Jiuyin was going to ask, and his calm tone seemed as if he was talking about someone else's business.
"You'll only have three years left to live?"
Rong Zhuo said nothing, but everyone else's expressions changed. Rong Zhuo can only live for three years.
Zhang Yao recalled the previous conversation between Rong Zhuo and Master Yu Jiuyin, and something seemed to come to his mind. But then he saw Rong Zhuo was wearing the bracelet that Yu Jiuyin had made for the boss.
The eldest brother never takes off this bracelet. The third brother had asked about it out of curiosity before, and he'd said Yu Jiuyin made it for him to keep him safe. But now, that seems untrue. Perhaps it's a life-saving charm, and the eldest brother gave it to Rong Zhuo because he was worried something might happen to him alone.
"You let him go on purpose." At this point Xu Wang and the third brother also reacted.
In truth, none of them had seen what happened in the house. They'd assumed the monster was dead simply because the boss said he'd accidentally killed it, and there was a body. But recalling the details made a different impression. That creature, with all its might, couldn't have been killed so easily? It should have at least put up a fight. And the boss was clearly injured, clearly losing on their first confrontation.
Later in the flashback, it was strange that Rong Zhuo suddenly took the person away. And the boss just said it casually and followed him away. It is estimated that when they took the person away, they had a private agreement.
The third brother was furious and wanted to beat Rong Zhuo up. The eldest brother was in such a bad condition that he might even lose his life. How could Rong Zhuo just watch him die?
"Jiuyin, find Yuqi first." Rongqing remained calm and followed Yu Jiuyin to remind her, but he didn't even look at Rongzhuo. It was obvious that Rongqing also felt that Rongzhuo was going too far.
What's the point of accompanying the boss? It would only cause them to lose two loved ones. Rongqing rarely gets angry, but this time he was really furious. But no matter how to deal with it later, he had to find someone first.
Yu Jiuyin calmed down a bit. He released Rong Zhuo's hand and took out a copper coin to change the formation. This time, out of selfishness, Yu Jiuyin hadn't brought anyone with him. Only his grandfather Gan accompanied Gu Zhou and the others to support the formation. But at this critical moment, when he needed to find people, he was starting to run out of money.
Without Linglong around, Yu Jiuyin's divination to find someone would lose some accuracy.
In the past, it would have been relatively easy to find. But now it's different. Yu Jiuyin has adopted the eldest brother as his younger brother, and when he rescued the eldest brother, he used some special methods. The causal relationship between the two is too deep, making it difficult to deduce. This is probably what the saying "a doctor should not treat himself" means.
Fortunately, the Ghost Taoist Priest has other ways to find people.
"Rongrong, you stay and watch. I'll go up and take a look."
"Go ahead," Rongqing nodded.
Yu Jiuyin said nothing and drove off. However, the speed was so fast that it looked like he was driving an ordinary car like a racing car.
The third brother wanted to follow, but was stopped by Rongqing.
"Don't make trouble"
"Brother Rong, the boss's side"
"Jiuyin should be fine now. Let's catch that thing first and wait for them to come down so we can go back to the Taoist temple. I guess we can just keep Yuqi this time."
The third brother and the others were still very worried, but Rong Zhuo sat in the back seat of the car and didn't say a word.
Rongqing ignored him and read through all the information Zhang Yao gave him. Then he decided on the first family that lost their child.
"Go to his house and ask."
"Ah, we just came out of this one." Zhang Yao was puzzled. This one was the most cooperative among the others, and it was said that after a few years, the others stopped looking, but this one was still looking, and had expanded its search to the whole country. You shouldn't doubt this one if you doubt any of them.
Rong Qing asked him a very sharp question in return, "Why didn't the other companies look for it?"
“I feel like the child is dead or can’t be found.”
“Then why is this company so persistent?”
“I felt the child must not be dead”
“How does he know the child is not dead?”
"This lucky mentality"
"But the other families all acknowledged that the child was indeed dead."
""
"And why does he go to a different city every year, but in summary, he's always in the vicinity of City B, City S, and City K?"
"Rong Group, what do you mean?"
"The family knows the child's situation, so they can just go to the trial."
Rong Qing's words immediately woke up Zhang Yao and the others. The third brother suddenly remembered something, "Does he have a birdcage at home?"
"What birdcage?" Zhang Yao was also confused.
Xu Wang also remembered and added, "The houses we visited all had bird cages."
"No. I didn't see it."
"Arrest the man and take him to the police station for interrogation." Rong Qing made the decision with just one word.
But at this time, Yu Jiuyin had not found the boss yet.
The car reached the edge of a small hill outside the village and could no longer climb. Yu Jiuyin got out and entered the woods. As soon as he entered, he felt a pervasive evil. Something in the surrounding trees seemed to be watching his every move. Its scarlet eyes looked eerie and sickening. It was as if it was warning him that if he took another step forward, it would attack.
The tit that has just been demonized.
A flicker of disgust flashed across Yu Jiuyin's eyes. Then, he instantly unleashed a technique. Yu Jiuyin's thunder technique was completely different from the boss's. With a resounding boom, the entire hillside shook three times.
Then all the tits frightenedly dropped to the ground. It was so densely packed that anyone with trypophobia would probably go crazy. However, Yu Jiuyin's attention wasn't focused on that. On a small hill about five meters away, there seemed to be someone sitting under a tree with their head bowed.
"Yu Qi!" Yu Jiuyin ran over, only to see the boss leaning against the ground, covered in blood, the copper coins in his hand scattered on the ground. He was still conscious, and after hearing Yu Jiuyin's call, he moved slightly, as if trying to stand up.
"Don't move." Yu Jiuyin rushed over to hug him. She quickly checked his wounds and found a soul-soothing talisman in his arms. She immediately became furious.
"Brother, brother, don't be angry." The eldest brother's voice was very weak. He had lost too much blood and suffered a lot of mental stimulation. It was difficult for him to speak.
"I'll deal with you when we get back." Yu Jiuyin bandaged his wounds first, then carried the boss on his back and planned to go back. The Ghost Daoist Heavenly Master had signed a contract with a fierce ghost for the first time, so an elder had to be present to supervise. Yu Jiuyin had a rough idea of what he was signing, which made him even angrier.
It's too reckless. If you sign a contract with a monster and make a mistake, you may even be transformed into a monster and lose your life.
The more Yu Jiuyin thought about it, the angrier he became. He even had the urge to beat the child once his injuries healed. But the words the eldest brother whispered in his ear instantly calmed his anger.
"Brother, I found the Siren Orphanage. You and Brother Rong don't need to go to the Yu family. There's nothing in the old Yu family house. Let's start from here. It's on the island about a day's distance away. The Siren Orphanage is right there."
"You're working so hard just for this, but you've forgotten everything I taught you."
"No, Ruan Qin was too young and too pitiful. I wanted to save her. I knew that you would come to save me, so I wanted to take a gamble. Ruan Qin couldn't bear it at that time. Once she was completely transformed into a demon, she would never be able to reincarnate. But this child clearly didn't harm anyone and protected so many people. How could I watch her be ruined like this?" The eldest brother spoke slowly.
Yu Jiuyin also listened carefully.
"I thought at the time, if I couldn't sign a contract with her, I could still buy time. By then, if you came, you would definitely be able to save her. Anyway, I wouldn't die that easily anyway."
"How did you know?" Yu Jiuyin's heart moved.
"The bracelet is not for saving my life, it is for making me look more alive. Qiuqiu told my fortune, but she couldn't predict my future fate. I was so scared that I started crying. At first I thought I would die early if I escaped the disaster, but later I realized that it was not that I would die early, but that I was no longer a living person. Although I have some talent in the way of ghosts, I am definitely not a genius. But I suddenly found that I can learn everything you can do, although I can only learn the basics. But this is a rare situation among the heavenly masters, right?"
“There is clearly a way.”
"I don't care." The eldest brother buried his head on Yu Jiuyin's shoulder, "Brother, you will be lonely if only Brother Yu is with you. Isn't it good for me to accompany you too?"
"Stop messing around." Immortality is not a good thing at all. Yu Jiuyin wanted to refute him, but was quickly stopped by the boss.
"I'm not kidding. Ever since I learned about your and Brother Rong's situation, Rong Zhuo and I have already discussed it. You're so afraid of loneliness. When Master passes away, how can I bear to see you all alone without any family? What if Brother Rong becomes a bastard? So I've already thought about it. I'll always be with you."
"you"
"Brother, you saved my life. You gave me my name. I used to think that if I died with regrets and became a ghost, I would always be by your side. Now I am lucky enough to be able to live like a human being. Brother, if you are angry, just beat me up, don't hold it in."
Yu Jiuyin closed his eyes and didn't speak.
The boss knew that he had agreed, and rubbed Yu Jiuyin's neck with a smile, then told Yu Jiuyin the situation bit by bit.
"I only felt something was wrong after we fought." He was alone in the room at the time, and when he saw the bird, he clearly sensed the aura of a bloodthirsty monster. Later, after being attacked by the bird, he unexpectedly discovered that the monster's state was a bit split.
It was like two souls, one good and one evil, within one body. But before he could think too much, he used the Thunder Technique. He had intended to capture it alive by flapping its wings, but he never expected that at the last moment, the bird would freeze. The boss's Thunder Technique struck it directly on the head.
It was at this moment that the boss truly understood the soul beneath the monster's skin. It was the little girl they had seen in the video who had murdered her entire family. Her name was Ruan Qin.
"Kill me! I can't control it anymore." Ruan Qin's voice echoed in the boss's head, and at the same time, a strange memory came over him. It was because of this that the boss knew the exact location of the Siren Orphanage.
Ruan Qin had escaped. It wasn't her who killed her family, but someone else at the Siren Orphanage. They used sorcery to control Ruan Qin and then made her bring in the hatchet. Then, holding her hand, they cut and slashed Ruan Qin's family, one by one.
First, there were her two brothers who doted on her, then her aunt who had taken care of her since she was a child and her parents who treated her like a little princess, and finally her grandparents.
No, no, leave my family alone
Ruan Qin screamed inwardly, but it was no use. She was too young, and even without the sorcery, she had no power to resist. In the end, she could only watch her family die.
But maybe it was because of her heavy resentment, the moment the man killed her, she turned into a bloody ghost, wanting to take revenge for her entire family.
But she never expected that the next moment, she would see a bird egg hatch from within her lifeless body. An ugly, hairless creature emerged from it, possessing her soulless body. Then she lost consciousness. When she regained consciousness, she was standing in the yard, clutching the hatchet that had killed her entire family. She had become a monster, neither human nor bird.
"I only found out the truth after I died." Ruan Qin told the boss everything she knew.
It turns out that Ruan Qin was actually stolen when she was one year old. But what Ruan Qin's family didn't know at the time was that it wasn't just Ruan Qin, there were several other families in the village who had lost their children, and their children had all been lost when they were about one year old. It's just that at that time, they were too young to remember it. And their parents were threatened to keep their mouths shut. So no one dared to say anything. In addition, after the child came back, they found that there was nothing wrong with her, and she didn't even have a wound on her body, so she was sent back. So later on, apart from watching their little girl more carefully, they didn't say much. After all, who knows if that person will come back because of their talkativeness? Even Ruan Qin's family wanted to find an opportunity to move away.
Unfortunately, they had no idea what their daughter had gone through after being taken away. If they had known, they would have found a way to eliminate this hidden danger long ago. They would not have waited until the tragedy happened before realizing it.
