Chapter 1165 The Returnee's Notes 239
If this senior's death is also related to the Mirror Spirit... Xie Ning doesn't quite understand, because although she knows about Mirror Spirits, she doesn't know much about some so-called ghost-raising techniques.
If the person behind these two deaths was behind it, what was their goal?
Upon hearing Xie Ning's question, Ouyang Lin recalled an incident from her early years. She had accompanied her master on a mission involving a mirror spirit, but the person had summoned the spirit themselves and ended up raising it by mistake.
She used the mirror spirit to do some illegal things. Someone noticed something was wrong and asked her master to take a look. In the end, they learned that it was the mirror spirit that was causing the trouble.
That mirror spirit had devoured living souls.
"It's quite a coincidence that the spirit that person raised was none other than his own mother." Perhaps it was the bond of kinship that prevented the ghost that person summoned from harming him, and it even worked for him.
Of course, perhaps that person had other means to control the Mirror Spirit, and then said it was just a coincidence.
If he doesn't tell, Ouyang Lin and the others will never know the real story.
The two whispered for a while, and then Ouyang Lin asked her senior's mother if any strange people had come to visit them or been wandering around the area recently.
Since the mirror spirit is to consume living souls, it must be brought to the vicinity. Qi Leyou from before can be considered a medium.
Ouyang Lin asked this without much hope, since people come and go in the hospital, how could she tell if someone was strange or not, especially since these people didn't know anything about it.
That person might have even hidden in the toilet to cast a spell. She had encountered something like that before, but back then they found the hidden tools in the toilet.
The senior's mother couldn't hear what Xie Ning and the other person were saying, but she could see that the two of them were busy for a while, and then their expressions were not very good.
After hesitating for a moment, he took two steps forward and asked, "Master, is my daughter still here? Can I say a few words to her?"
Even though she had received news that her daughter had done some illegal or criminal things, she still loved her daughter, after all, she was her only remaining love.
She could no longer have children after giving birth to her daughter because of uterine damage, but her ex-husband and his family wanted a son. Since she had no connections, they divorced quickly.
She couldn't resist at all.
Even if you resist and don't continue the divorce, will you really be able to live a good life in the future? What you force will only bring bitter fruit.
Perhaps because her daughter, and even herself, were looked down upon by her ex-husband's family, she often urged her child to study, studying until she was exhausted.
Once you achieve success, no one will look down on you anymore.
But everyone encourages their children in this way, so why is her child so rebellious?
Later, as her daughter grew up, she always wanted to discipline her, but she didn't dare to because the trouble she caused was too much, so she gradually gave up on her original idea.
Upon hearing Ouyang Lin say that her daughter was completely distraught, the senior student's mother could no longer control herself and collapsed backward.
"Sister!" The older sister's uncle anxiously grabbed the person's upper body and shouted for a doctor to save her life.
Ouyang Lin was also startled. Xie Ning squatted down and felt her senior's mother's pulse. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was nothing wrong.
At this point, the senior's father also stepped forward to help, but after the doctor came and confirmed that it was just a case of emotional distress causing him to faint, he stopped paying attention to him and left the senior's uncle to take care of him.
He still had work to do, but before he could leave, his senior's mother woke up, "Old Liu."
The senior's father paused, glanced at the time on his watch, and then returned to sit down next to her.
"Just tell me what's wrong, but I don't have much time."
"You're always like this." The senior's mother was panting heavily, clearly angered.
"Everyone says I was incredibly lucky to marry you, and I thought so too, but only I know the bitterness that followed."
You just want a son to carry on the family line.
Neither I nor Xiaoxiao matter to you, Lao Liu. Xiaoxiao is dead, do you know that? She's dead!
Old Liu maintained a calm expression.
“I told you before we got married that we have a business and need an heir. We can’t just give it away to someone else after I die. You know the old folks in the family; they want a boy. Girls aren’t well-regarded.”
He made it very clear that even after the divorce, he would pay a substantial amount of child support, but...
“You used the money I gave you after the divorce to start a business, but you lost a lot of money, so much so that you had to use the child support I gave you to cover the losses, and you lived a very frugal life.”
You always say Xiaoxiao is disobedient, but you force her to study and turn what could have been a carefree life into this mess. You are lacking your child both spiritually and materially.
You're largely responsible for her crooked posture.
Of course, he has his own problems, but he's always been like this. He doesn't really care about his two sons, let alone his eldest daughter.
However, if he had known about these things earlier, he might have been able to provide some material assistance.
How could that child have gone astray and committed illegal and criminal acts?
He wasn't actually unhappy that his child was making money through shady means; he just felt that if he was going to do it, he should do it perfectly, instead of having to clean up the mess now that the child was dead.
The senior's mother wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to start, so she just sat blankly on the hospital bed.
The older sister's uncle, standing to the side, kept his head down and remained silent, after all, he was the one who helped his sister start her business after her divorce.
In the end, however, they lost money.
Xie Ning and Ouyang Lin had already packed their things and left. By this time, the body had been taken to the morgue. Because of the disappearance of the soul, it was difficult for them to find any more clues, so they had to give up.
That senior's soul was probably eaten by the mirror spirit, just as Ouyang Lin said.
After coming out, Lao Liu did not leave the hospital immediately, but instead went upstairs with his assistant who was carrying a fruit basket.
"Knock knock—"
"Please come in."
Old Liu had his assistant put down the fruit basket, then raised a slight smile to show concern for the young man in the hospital bed, a stark contrast to his previous indifferent attitude.
This is the child of one of his business partners, so of course he has to care about him.
If Xie Ning were here, he would definitely recognize that the young man in this ward is Yi Mingdu.
After Lao Liu left, Yi Mingdu got up, drew the curtains, and then opened the wooden music box on the table.
Inside was not a figurine or other common decorations, but a simple, antique-looking mirror. The pattern on it was similar to the one Qi Leyou had before.
As the music played, a dark figure appeared in the mirror, and then slowly emerged in front of Yimingdu.
Its entire body was pitch black, with long hair hanging down to the ground, making it look extremely eerie.
Yi Mingdu couldn't see the ghost standing in front of him, only its reflection in the mirror. Instead of feeling afraid, he felt a little excited.
"Eat more..."
For some reason, Yi Mingdu dialed a number, "...Mom, I went to the Lu family again today...but I didn't see anyone. I think it's impossible. Maybe we should try another one."
He was annoyed too.
After a long silence, the person on the other end asked, "Do you like Lu Qi?"
Yi Mingdu scoffed, "I don't like that bookworm at all."
These words were sincere. If it weren't for his mother's insistence, how could he have the nerve to always go to the Lu family and sit on the sidelines?
The person on the other end breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't do anything stupid, or you'll end up like your sister..."
She won't show any mercy.
Hearing his mother's words, Yi Mingdu suddenly had an idea: since his mother didn't believe him, what if Lu Qi died?
His gaze fell on the music box; he was sure he could do it quietly.
Lu Qi was unaware that someone was plotting against her behind her back, and was still happy about Xie Ning's arrival.
"Ah Ning, my mom makes really delicious sweet and sour fish. You have to try it later."
"good."
Xie Ning greeted Lu's mother and then went upstairs with Lu Qi. Lu Qi's house was like a small villa, and there was another house of the same style next to it, but it lacked a touch of brightness.
The small garden downstairs from Lu Qi's house is full of hydrangeas. Because it is in the north, the flowering season of hydrangeas is delayed, so even in October, they are still in full bloom.
The white hydrangeas bloom in abundance, resembling snow weighing down the branches. When the wind blows, they sway like butterflies dancing in a cluster.
"These were all planted by my mother. Her favorite flower is the hydrangea."
After chatting for a while, Lu Qi suddenly said, "A Ning, do you want to go to my family's indoor gym? My uncle works there."
Xie Ning instantly understood what Lu Qi meant. When the two of them practiced together, Lu Qi often said that if she and her uncle Lu fought together, she didn't know who would win.
She wasn't really interested in these things, but seeing Lu Qi's expectant look, she agreed anyway.
"good."
Lu Qi was noticeably more lively at home than at school.
