Chapter 1171 The Returnee's Notes 245
Clang—
Even though the doors and windows were all closed and there was no wind inside, some toiletries on the sink seemed to have been blown off by a gust of wind.
Xie Ning grabbed the red rope and slowly pulled the ghost out of the mirror.
Ghost Eye, who was still struggling, suddenly relaxed its strength after seeing that it had escaped the space where Lu Qi was, and then turned around and pounced on Xie Ning with the help of Xie Ning's strength.
Due to the force of the impact, Xie Ning's lower back slammed into the small cabinet behind her, but she didn't care about that and just stared intently at the ghost's faceless face.
A slender dagger was held against the ghost's neck, directly halting its attack, as it sensed danger.
The translucent, slender short sword exuded a sharp, cold aura, as if it would injure the user if it got any closer.
Everything has a subconscious tendency to avoid danger, it's just a matter of degree.
Xie Ning was still holding the red rope in his other hand. "You should know that I can just smash you apart."
She was quite familiar with the soul umbrella she had made back then, and this short sword was even more effective against ghosts than her peach wood sword, but Xie Ning didn't use it much on a daily basis.
Because although the damage is high, it also takes a lot of effort.
There was another reason for saying this: Xie Ning wanted to know if this ghost still had a relatively high level of self-awareness. If not, then she would have to take drastic measures.
If you don't understand, keep hitting them until they do.
The pitch-black ghost tilted its head, its long black hair hanging to the ground, and silently approached Xie Ning little by little.
How could Xie Ning not have noticed? Moreover, it was also present in the reflective areas of the bathroom, just like the scene Huang Lili had described earlier.
I wonder if it's also a mirror spirit. Xie Ning glanced at the mirror; it came out of it.
She had heard the bells earlier, but they weren't from the doors and windows she had placed outside; they were from inside.
Moreover, the sound seemed to come from the second floor. After all, she was the only one living on the third floor after Uncle Lu left, so she placed some things on the first and second floors. Whenever a ghost appeared, the bell would ring.
While chatting with Wang Heng, Xie Ning took the opportunity to tidy up her room. Since she didn't have many things left, she only used a few small candles to set up a small array. She also opened the windows and doors and lit an incense stick.
Na Xiang's original intention was that if any ghosts appeared, they would be led to her first.
However, it is clear that this ghost has a strong purpose and is not attracted by the incense.
She couldn't immediately pinpoint the ghost's location and arrive in time, so Xie Ning directly used the technique the old lady had taught her, the "Thread of Guidance."
The props are the same as the red ropes we make every day, except that we need to perform hand seals and incantations.
Unexpectedly, the red rope shot directly towards the bathroom and pierced straight into the mirror. Even Xie Ning herself was somewhat taken aback. The moment she realized that the red rope had caught the ghost, she quickly pulled it back.
Then he pulled the ghost out of the mirror.
Under incandescent light, it seems to absorb the light source, appearing as pure black.
The ghost's hair fluttered slightly, and Xie Ning no longer held back. He made a sweeping motion with his hand, as if he wanted to chop off its head directly. But the ghost was, after all, just a phantom, or rather, some kind of energy entity.
Even if you cut off its head, it probably wouldn't be fatal, not to mention that this ghost is extremely fast, and Xie Ning only managed to graz its neck.
"ah--"
Perhaps because Xie Ning's short sword was effective against evil spirits, it only grazed the neck of the creature, yet a strong burning sensation was felt there.
