Chapter 30 Can you help catch ghosts?
Bai Ye stood there in a daze.
It took him a long while to find his voice again.
"How did he die?"
Huo Ning sighed.
"He committed suicide and used up all the gas in the house."
Bai Ye closed his eyes in pain, the feeling of self-blame almost overwhelmed him.
"I failed to protect her."
His eyelids slowly lifted, anger filled his eyes, and his fists made crackling sounds from being clenched.
"I should have killed the Huo family!"
Huo Ning was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean we should have killed the Huo family from the beginning?"
She told Bai Ye that she had no memory.
Huo Ning looked at Bai Ye with a serious expression, "If possible, I hope you can tell me everything you know."
The sudden rise of the Huo family and the decline of the Song family both exude an indescribable weirdness and absurdity.
Bai Ye slowly lowered his eyes, with a faint gloom on his body.
"I don't know much. When I met Sister Ningning, she had already been driven out by the Huo family."
"I was being chased by a fox demon and was seriously injured. It was Sister Ningning who saved me."
"Later, I found out that the Huo family had been bullying Sister Ningning, so I wanted to kill them to vent Sister Ningning's anger."
But not only did he fail to kill the Huo family, he himself was almost killed by the formation outside the Huo family.
Bai Ye's eyes were gloomy, and veins on his wrists were bulging. "If you want to avenge Sister Ningning, you'd better be careful. The Huo family has a lot of hidden secrets behind it."
Huo Ning frowned.
Bai Ye is not an ordinary person.
He is a cat demon with five hundred years of Taoism experience.
If he was powerless against the Huo family, it is no wonder that the Song family fell from the altar and remained in poverty until now.
"What else do you know? Tell me all about it."
The Huo family must be resolved, not only because she took over the original owner's body and needed to seek justice for the original owner.
She is now using the original owner's identity, and there's no guarantee that she will be targeted by the Huo family one day.
It is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. A snake in the shadows may emerge and bite you one day.
Huo Ning lowered his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
What she has to do now is to solve the Song family’s predicament.
Bai Ye's gaze fell on her, with sadness in his eyes, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.
"Say whatever you want to say."
Huo Ning walked into the supermarket, pushing a shopping cart in his hand, passed by the living area, and picked up two towels and other toiletries for himself.
Bai Ye's eyes turned red, and he choked up, his voice a little hoarse, "Can you please not tell Uncle Song and the others the truth?"
"Especially my grandmother, she is old and can't stand this kind of stimulation."
Huo Ning sighed and nodded with some emotion.
"Don't worry, I won't tell you this."
She couldn't help feeling sorry.
The original owner obviously liked Bai Ye very much.
Bai Ye's demeanor and tone when he mentioned the original owner were not innocent.
It's just fate.
Huo Ning finished her shopping and turned to push the shopping cart to the checkout counter.
She held the bag in one hand and her phone in the other, opened the Tengjiao live broadcast, and checked the private messages in the background.
She sifted through the private messages for a long time before finding one asking if she could help catch ghosts.
Just as Huo Ning was about to reply, she noticed a new message popped up below the dialogue box.
【Knowledge of the subtle: Hello Master Huo, I'm sorry to bother you again. You were not online before, but now I see your profile picture is lit up. I'd like to ask, can you help me exorcise ghosts?】
Huo Ning clicked on the other party's homepage and found that the other party's IP address was in Yecheng, so he immediately typed a reply.
[Fairy Huo's daily fortune-telling: Accepted, but catching ghosts and fortune-telling are not the same price. ]
【知微见几：Money is not a problem. Can we add your contact information to chat in detail? 】
Of course there is nothing wrong with that.
Huo Ning sent her WeChat number and received a friend request from the other party ten seconds later.
After Huo Ning passed the other party, a message popped up immediately asking her how she wanted to quote.
Huo Ning asked the other party for an address.
We need to analyze each case specifically. Her price is based on the number and level of the ghosts.
【Seeing the subtleties: [Location]】
As soon as Huo Ning saw the location, she was instantly happy.
Wow, isn't this the hospital where grandma is now?
[Fairy Huo's daily fortune-telling: 300,000 yuan. If there is an emergency, the price will be increased.]
As soon as this message was sent, there was a brief silence on the other side.
After a while, a message popped up.
【Knowledgeable: But I remember that the first time you helped me exorcise ghosts, your price was 50,000. Why is it so much this time?】
[Fairy Huo's daily fortune-telling: The price is based on the number of ghosts and the severity of their resentment. If you feel the price is not suitable, you can find another person with a predestined relationship.]
【Knowledge of the subtle: But 300,000 is too much. Can it be cheaper? How about 200,000? 】
This is not a business, Huo Ning glanced at the message and turned off his phone.
The owner of the account obviously has no shortage of money, and three hundred thousand is not a big deal for him.
The reason why the other party bargained with her was simply because they felt that given her status, even if she was capable, it was not worth them spending so much money.
But it’s true that her current Tengjiao account only has about 88,000 fans.
Among them, 10,000 are the original fans.
With the number of fans she has, the asking price is 300,000, so it's understandable that the other party is unwilling to give it.
But Huo Ning really didn't have time to bargain with the other party.
The bridge of trust has not been built. Even if she really agrees to the price offered by the other party, the other party will definitely treat her with the mentality that he pays too much and lets her take advantage of him, and will subconsciously look down on her.
Huo Ning doesn't care how others view her.
But she has to care when catching ghosts.
In her previous life, she had seen too many tragedies where the client was extremely uncooperative during the exorcism process due to a crisis of trust, resulting in the death of innocent people.
Bai Ye stood beside her, took a look at the bag in her hand, and reminded her: "There is something fishy in the hospital, you should have seen it."
The reason why he came here every day was, on the one hand, to look after Sister Ningning's family.
On the one hand, he wanted to protect Sister Ningning's grandmother from being harmed by ghosts.
He cannot act lightly against these resentful ghosts.
The fox demon has been keeping an eye on him. Once he reveals himself, it will bring big trouble to himself and the Song family.
Huo Ning glanced at him and said, "Yes, I see. Then what?"
Bai Ye: “…”
Then shouldn't you think about getting rid of all those ghosts?
Huo Ning didn't have the ability to read minds, but when she saw Bai Ye's expression, she guessed what he was thinking.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
"I am only responsible for protecting my family and don't want to meddle in other people's business."
And the hospital is already looking for someone to exorcise ghosts.
I think they will find a master who offers good value for money, and those ghosts won't be able to be so arrogant for long.
There's no need for her to do anything about it.
Bai Ye: “…”
He lowered his eyes, his jawline tense, and said nothing.
After a long while, he said, "You are nothing like Sister Ningning."
"Sister Ningning feels sorry for the injured cats and dogs on the roadside. You are like a person who only cares about his own troubles and does not mind the troubles of others."
Huo Ning looked at him strangely.
"If she doesn't feel sorry for injured cats and dogs on the roadside, do you think she will still save you?"
Bai Ye: “…”
