"These shoes..."
"Hey~ Aren't these my son's shoes? Why doesn't this kid wear shoes when he goes out?"
When Ya Zi stepped on the shoes, she was about to ask about them, but before she could finish speaking, Huang Jian's mother spoke up first, saying with great surprise that the shoes belonged to Huang Jian.
Even Huang Jian's father said, "Why did he go out without wearing shoes?"
After turning around and seeing the shoes, Yue Jiuling frowned and said, "It's late at night and no one is around, not even wearing shoes. It seems that Huang Jian's disappearance is very strange. He's hiding. You should contact the police to file a case and help us find him."
Yinni also came over. In front of Huang Jian's parents, he picked up one of the slippers, touched the sole and the upper, and said, "They should have left not long ago, within an hour. Come on, Jiuling, Long Er, let's go look for them."
"Where are we going to look? We'll go too."
Huang Jian's mother said.
"You don't need to go there. Go to the police station again to report the case. We'll talk to the people there and they can open a case."
He left his slippers behind and then left Huang Jian's house.
As they were going downstairs, Yin Ni said, "I sensed a bit of ghostly energy on the slippers just now. There wasn't any ghostly energy in Huang Jian's room, but there was on the slippers, which is very strange. However, I found some soil on the bottom of the slippers. The soil was very dry and also had some ghostly energy on it, so I suspect that Huang Jian must have worn these slippers out before and brought back some unclean things."
"You mean his disappearance might have been caused by something that came back with the slippers?"
Ya Zi understood the meaning of "hiding," and said, "That's not impossible. If he didn't leave on his own, but was taken away by something else, then this unexplained disappearance can be explained. But where might he have been taken?"
“I sensed that the yin energy on the soil was quite strong, so I suspect that Huang Jian may have been to a cemetery or graveyard.”
Hidden has already called the local police station, asking them to cooperate in handling this missing person case and to help find the person.
He said, "Let's go check the nearby cemeteries and graveyards; the person should still be alive."
"Okay, then let's split up and look for them."
And so, the three of them split up to search for graves and cemeteries.
Meanwhile, Ye Dongfeng was also trying to summon back the soul of the deceased by the lake. They hadn't seen Zhu Botuan's ghost during the day, so Ye Dongfeng wanted to try to bring back the soul of the dead at night.
However, the result still disappointed him, because he was unable to summon any ghosts, and he did not find any useful clues nearby.
"Tsk, what the hell? Why isn't it there?"
Ye Dongfeng stood by the lake with his hands on his hips, enjoying the evening breeze. He paced around the lake in a state of irritation, and then prepared to leave. But just as he was about to go, he suddenly saw a dark shadow appear on the lake.
The dark figure appeared to be a woman. She was floating on the lake and slowly approaching Ye Dongfeng.
Ye Dongfeng stared warily at the figure until she came right in front of him.
"Hello, were you the one who summoned me just now?"
The dark shadow was indeed a female ghost. She was wearing a white dress and had long hair. She floated up to Ye Dongfeng and asked him a question.
When Ye Dongfeng saw the female ghost approaching, he already had a ghost-repelling talisman in his hand. He stared at the female ghost in front of him and said, "That's right, I was just summoning a soul nearby, but I wanted to summon a male ghost who had just died not long ago, not you."
"A male ghost? It seems like I'm the only female ghost around here, there aren't any other ghosts~"
The female ghost had already seen the exorcism talisman in Ye Dongfeng's hand, but she didn't seem afraid. Instead, she moved closer to Ye Dongfeng and said, "You're a Taoist priest, aren't you? I see you're holding a talisman. But why are you trying to summon a soul?"
"I have something to discuss with that ghost. What about you? And why are you here? Did you die and not report to the underworld, or did you apply to return to the human world to wait for reincarnation?"
Ye Dongfeng countered with a question to the female ghost.
The female ghost chuckled, brushed her long hair aside, and then took out a small sign, saying, "Hehe~ Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding ghost. I committed suicide by jumping into the lake, and I've already received my reincarnation number in the underworld. I've also applied to return to the human world to wait for my number, so don't worry about me so much."
"Alright, in that case, can you do me a favor? I want to find a ghost."
After learning that the female ghost had already reported to the underworld, Ye Dongfeng put away the talisman. He took out his phone, opened a photo, and asked, "Have you seen this person before? No, he died in this lake last night. Have you seen this ghost?"
The female ghost turned to look at Ye Dongfeng's phone. She saw Zhu Botuan's photo, then shook her head and said, "I've seen the body, but not the ghost."
"Um... okay then. Did you sense anything unusual about the lake last night? Like encountering something else or something?"
Ye Dongfeng persisted, insisting that he had finally managed to summon a ghost and should ask as many questions as possible.
Unfortunately, the female ghost still couldn't provide him with any useful clues. She shook her head and said, "No, I'm usually the only ghost in this lake, and the yin energy is very strong. If there were anything, I would definitely have noticed it."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your cooperation."
Ye Dongfeng thanked him with a disappointed expression.
