Chapter 999 The Returnee's Notes 73
Back at Xie Ning's house, Wang Ze took out some mosquito repellent to treat himself. Besides the mosquito bites, there were black handprints on his arms, neck, and face, indicating that he had indeed been beaten quite badly.
Xie Ning took out a small box of ointment from her schoolbag and gave it to him.
"Use this, it works better. Why didn't you leave last night? Didn't you message me saying you were leaving first?"
Wang Ze was on the verge of tears. "I wanted to run away, but that thing was too fast. Luckily it wasn't a demon, otherwise I would have had to take out my most treasured possession."
"Not an evil spirit? Then the injuries on your body..." Xie Ning hesitated.
Wang Ze became even angrier when he talked about it, "Although I can't see that thing, I can still communicate with it. That thing hit me and called me a hooligan! Me? A hooligan!?"
Damn it, even though he's a troublemaker and doesn't like studying, and dropped out of school early, he's never been in a relationship or flirted with any girls!
However, although the ghost hit him hard, it didn't actually hurt him, so it shouldn't be an evil ghost.
Instead, it seemed like a lost or trapped spirit, only more powerful than an ordinary spirit; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pin him down and beat him.
After sharing some of Xiao Liu's experiences with Wang Ze, Wang Ze also offered his suggestions.
"Why don't you find a woman to go with you to investigate, sister? I'm afraid I can't go anymore; that ghost is very hostile to men."
He was afraid he would actually be beaten to death. Of course, that was only one reason. Another reason was that he might be more likely to provoke the other party if he was standing nearby, so it was better to help from a distance.
If Xie Ning and the others really can't handle him, then he can run away with his men.
Fighting is out of the question, so of course we'll go home and call in someone even more powerful!
"Let me see."
After Wang Ze left, Xie Ning knocked on Xie Li's door, "Grandma, do you have time?"
Since the day she brought back the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, Xie Li has been in seclusion, rarely leaving her room except for meals and washing.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Ning looked at Xie Li's face and noticed that Xie Li seemed to have aged a bit.
“Some strange things have happened at our school recently…” Xie Ning recounted some rumors circulating at school and her experience with Wang Ze the previous night.
"Xiao Liu's dream is very strange, Grandma, do you know what kind of ghost it is?"
Xie Li pondered for a moment, "It's not an evil ghost. It used the dream-entering technique. Ghosts that still have consciousness usually send messages in dreams, but they can only do so to people who are related to them or have other connections. The dream-entering technique is more powerful than sending messages in dreams."
It doesn't require any involvement, but it does require a certain level of strength from the demon.
It must have had some kind of obsession that led it to enter the little girl's dream.
Xie Ning recalled Xiao Liu's dream and looked hesitant. "Is that ghost's obsession with attending classes and taking exams?"
After a pause, Xie Ning changed her approach, "Its obsession might be related to going to school."
"That should be the case. You can use the Soul-Guiding Incense to lure it into the formation, and then ask the spirit. If you can eliminate its obsession, you can send it away."
Xie Li glanced at Xie Ning's slightly immature face and remained silent for a while. "Although he is not an evil spirit, there is still a risk. You should invite another person to accompany you."
I'm not going. You have to learn how to deal with ghosts on your own.
This was indeed a bit too hasty, but she genuinely wanted Xie Ning to become stronger faster, otherwise it would be difficult for him to establish himself in this industry.
"Yes, I will."
So he discussed the matter with Wang Ze on his phone. Wang Ze wasn't surprised. He had started taking on commissions on his own a long time ago. Xie Ning was a bit young, but he was capable enough to gradually start working independently.
Wang Ze thought for a moment and replied, "What about Huang Lili? Although you had a bit of a conflict last time, that's just her personality; she's still reliable when it comes to doing things."
"And you also need to make more friends with your peers. It's convenient to recruit people and to buy things."
The beads from Huangshan are quite good!
"I'll give it a try."
Actually, Xie Ning was more inclined towards Ouyang Lin, but firstly, Ouyang Lin had been busy eliminating the resentment of the little ghost recently, and secondly, just as the old lady had expressed.
Xie Ning needs individual training, not practicing Tai Chi under an umbrella.
For Ouyang Lin to deal with such a ghost was like having a large umbrella held up for her; besides, the other party only came because of their friendship.
Huang Lili is different.
Although Huang Lili failed to defeat Xie Ning last time, Huang Lili's strength is actually comparable to hers, since strength in this area is not based on physical skills.
Everyone has their own strengths.
Huang Lili replied quickly. She was also a semi-newbie, so it was the time for her to do more commissions to gain experience. However, Huang Shan couldn't take her on commissions all the time, since there were some that were not suitable for her.
This time, none of them went into the school. Instead, they squatted in the same spot where Wang Ze had squatted before, behind the dormitory wall.
Wang Ze was still a little worried, so he came along too. However, he stayed far away and didn't dare to get close. He was afraid of being beaten up again or angering the ghost, since he still had the ghost's handprint on his body.
Huang Lili watched curiously as Xie Ning lit incense.
Thin wisps of white smoke rose, carrying a faint scent of herbs and wood, unlike ordinary fragrances, and it was a pleasant aroma to smell.
It's just past 7 p.m., which means night has fallen. The sky is dark, and most of the students have already gone to their classrooms for evening study, so their strange behavior here won't attract attention.
