Chapter 1018 The Returnee's Notes 92
This ghost was wearing a long, wide-sleeved blue robe, with only a few simple beads on its head. It had makeup on its face, and its eyebrows were thin and slightly arched, which made its features look gentle. Its posture was also extremely elegant and dignified. Judging from its appearance, it looked like a female knight in shining armor.
Ghosts who die of natural causes rarely linger in the world, so this ghost was likely also killed unjustly. However, Xie Ning could not discern how the ghost died from its appearance.
If you can't figure out how this ghost died, you can't ask; that's taboo.
Moreover, this ghost did not have the distorted form of ordinary ghosts; instead, it seemed to have an ethereal, otherworldly quality, which made it even more eerie.
Xie Ning didn't speak for a moment because she didn't know why this ghost was asking the question, and speaking rashly might touch on some taboo.
Xie Ning retreated step by step, but the ghost approached step by step, repeating the same question over and over again.
When it was still, the ghost in blue looked just like a normal person, but as soon as it moved, a mechanical stiffness appeared.
Since the ghost had not yet revealed itself, Ouyang Lin, who was standing nearby, could neither see nor hear it, and could only determine the ghost's location by observing Xie Ning's reaction.
Seeing Xie Ning retreat and the ghost unwilling to reveal itself, Ouyang Lin lit a thumb-length incense stick. As the scent of the incense spread, she heard the ghost's question.
The ghost asked Xie Ning again, "Can you see what I look like?"
Just as Xie Ning was about to ask Ouyang Lin a question, Ouyang Lin stood up, shook her head at Xie Ning, and gestured for her to remain silent.
Then he walked over to Xie Ning and pulled her behind him, saying, "Why make things difficult for a young girl? The other children outside are also young and don't know any better. They've bothered you, so just teach them a lesson."
If you tell me what they owe, isn't that following the rules?
Each sect has its own set of rules, which are not made by humans, but rather naturally formed based on certain laws governing the relationship between humans and ghosts.
In fact, the answers obtained from asking questions through the Ouija board are not necessarily correct. However, since the summoner asked the question and the Ouija board answered it, the summoner should pay the Ouija board some reward.
Many people do not pay a fee to send the spirit away after consulting the Ouija board, which leads to the spirit becoming haunted. Some spirits with a better temper may leave after the summoner pays the fee.
Not necessarily bad-tempered, but most of these so-called "Ouija boards" are actually irritable ghosts with a lot of resentment.
Ouyang Lin was unsure of the origin and strength of the ghost that was bothering Xiao Fang, so she chose a gentler method of summoning spirits from the beginning.
If it can be confirmed that the other party's strength is far lower than one's own, then even if the ghost is unwilling to leave, Ouyang Lin may forcibly send the ghost away.
As soon as Ouyang Lin said this, the ghost's gaze gradually shifted from Xie Ning's face to Ouyang Lin's face, and then slowly turned to look outside.
Its movements were elegant, yet they had an eerie mechanical quality. Suddenly, Xie Ning noticed a bluish-purple mark on the ghost's neck, and a guess about its death formed in his mind.
"No... it was me."
Just now, the students waiting outside had an argument.
A man and a woman were complaining about Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning, believing they were definitely faking it. Xiao Fang was very impatient and pointed to her broken hand.
"So you guys didn't get into trouble? I'm already in this state, who cares if it's true or not? We'll know in a few days when we're not in trouble anymore, right?"
He doesn't care about those few coins! What he cares about is his life; if he loses his life, no amount of money will be of any use.
These people valued his money so much, as if it were their own.
"Aren't we doing this for your own good? After all, we're just a little unlucky. Only you fell, so maybe it wasn't a ghost?"
Don't scare yourself. Besides, Yuling asked some unpleasant questions. She even tried to strangle herself, but she turned out fine in the end.
"Yes, yes, Yuling, were you deliberately trying to scare us back then?"
It was really scary at the time, but Yuling was fine after a while, as if she was just playing with them. Although it was exciting, it was really frightening.
When asked the question, Yu Ling blinked, looking completely innocent. "You guys really believe that?"
These words immediately drew a barrage of complaints.
