Hearing this, the short-haired woman's expression softened, and she said in a chatty tone, "Yes, we have always had a good relationship, just like family. It has spent more time with me than with my husband."
"Oh, by the way, I seem to have some impression of the man you're looking for. He should be with the guy on the 26th floor. They went upstairs together."
“…”
Ma Yingbei was speechless. Sister, didn’t you just say you didn’t see it?
"Okay thanks, I understand."
Wen Xi got the news and was just about to light a Nangong family communication talisman to tell them the news about Xiao Changji.
I saw a flash of light on the talisman, and heard Qu Lingling's anxious voice, "Wen Xi, Senior Nangong, we encountered a... fierce..." on the 14th floor.
The sound is very choppy and the signal seems to be not very good.
"We met them so soon? Let's go look for them on the 14th floor first."
Wen Xi put away the talisman and decided to go find Nangong Jue and the others.
"14th floor?"
A strange voice from a short-haired woman came from behind, "Are you going to the 14th floor?"
Ma Yingbei scratched his head. "Yes, our companions went to the 14th floor. They might have met someone there."
The short-haired woman's eyes were sinister. "But, there's no one living on the 14th floor. Who could they have met?"
Words that send chills down your spine.
"It's okay, we'll find out when we go and take a look."
Wen Xi didn't take it seriously and continued to climb upstairs with Ma Yingbei. The short-haired woman stared at them for a long time before the sound of a door closing was heard behind them.
Walking in the dark escape passage, Ma Yingbei breathed a sigh of relief. "Master, what did that woman just say mean? What on earth did they encounter on the 14th floor?"
"What could you possibly encounter? It's just a ghost. Of course, no one lives on the 14th floor. It's filled with ghosts. Don't you think about it? This is a ghostland. Seeing ghosts is not normal. Didn't you see it just now?"
"Sure enough, that woman is also a ghost. No wonder it's so strange. Where's her kitchen knife? Isn't it still dripping with blood? Did she go in and kill her husband? Hiss... ghosts kill people, or ghosts kill ghosts?"
Wen Xi said calmly, "She can't be considered a fierce ghost, but it's just her obsession in her life. Her husband is a gigolo who often pua her and scolds her as worthless, which makes her extremely insecure. She didn't expect that her husband is also a cat abuser. Her cat is her spiritual support. The cat is gone, which makes her spirit collapse more and more. Under the growth of this ghost domain, she will soon turn into a fierce ghost. I just gave her some relief.
That man deserves to die. It's just another death anyway. From what I've seen just now, her anger has dissipated a lot. She won't change until we defeat this ghost domain."
"I see, Master, your fortune-telling is truly amazing."
Ma Yingbei couldn't help but flatter her.
"You are too weak."
Wen Xi attacked him bluntly, and Ma Yingbei's lips trembled, unable to refute.
When they reached the 14th floor, they found that the doors in the corridor were frozen with a layer of ice.
"Oh my god, this door won't open."
Ma Yingbei looked at the frozen door handle and tried his best to open it but failed.
"let me."
Wen Xi took a few steps back and kicked the door hard. The first time it didn't open, but the second time, he kicked it over.
A gust of cold air hit them in the face. Wen Xi and Ma Yingbei walked into the corridor on the 14th floor. It was pitch black inside. The door of room 1401 opposite was open, and a dark red light was swaying inside, which was completely different from the floor they had just visited.
"Sure enough, there's a problem. The ashes from the burning talisman are still here."
Ma Yingbei glanced down at his feet, his heart skipping a beat. "The aura of evil spirits is very strong here. Could it be that the two of them were captured by evil spirits?"
"You'll know when you go in and take a look."
Wen Xi walked into room 1401 without hesitation, but stopped after taking two steps.
Ma Yingbei was behind her, "What's wrong?"
"Something."
Wen Xi frowned and half-knelt down. Under the swaying red light, he could see a strand of... hair?
"Is this hair?"
Ma Yingbei squinted his eyes and saw it as well.
"Yes, is this Pansi Cave?"
When Wen Xi stood up again, he saw that the entire house was covered with fine hairs, as if there were intricate mechanisms set up here to prevent people from breaking in.
"This must be a ghost's trick. How are we going to get out? It's a challenge to my flexibility!"
Ma Yingbei rolled up his sleeves, bent down to avoid the hair in front of him, and found the next crossing area, which would challenge his old waist.
"No need to bother."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow, ignited a golden flame on his fingertips, and lit it on one of the hairs.
Sizzle!
In a flash, all the hairs were ignited as if in a chain reaction. The golden flames quickly passed by, and in an instant, all the "mechanisms" in the house disappeared.
"Is it that simple?"
Ma Yingbei was stunned and felt that he was very stupid.
"Yes, it's very simple, but it attracts a lot of hatred."
Wen Xi smiled.
Ma Yingbei suddenly felt something was wrong, and it seemed to be getting colder nearby.
"Who, who set my hair on fire?"
Along with the eerie sound, a female ghost with long flowing hair floated out of the house, glaring at the two men with a pair of scarlet eyes, stretching out her sharp five fingers, and angrily wanting to kill them.
"I started the fire."
Wen Xi raised her finger calmly. The flame on it had not completely disappeared. The fire frightened the female ghost and she took a few steps back, looking at her vigilantly.
Wen Xi asked back, "Do you have any objections?"
Long-haired female ghost, "..."
Damn it, she suddenly didn't dare to have any opinions!
"This is my territory, get out of here!"
The long-haired female ghost felt that she was being despised. Her clothes were still stained with blood, and she was filled with murderous intent. She roared at them viciously.
The ghostly aura rushed towards him, and Ma Yingbei's heart trembled. He whispered, "Master, it's an SS-level ghost."
"Yeah, I know."
Wen Xi was extremely calm. He reached out and moved a chair next to him, sat down, and said, "Okay, if you want us to leave, hand over the people we're traveling with first. Otherwise, we won't leave!"
“…”
The long-haired female ghost was furious. She had seen scoundrels before, but she had never seen one as shameless as this one.
Seeing the long-haired female ghost still floating in the air motionless, Wen Xi glanced over and said coldly, "My patience is limited. Do you want me to go find it myself?"
The long-haired female ghost felt aggrieved and wanted to fight her, but when she looked at her long hair hanging behind her, the burnt hair still emitted a faint golden light, suppressing her ghostly aura. She knew that kind of power was not something she could afford to provoke.
The long-haired female ghost swallowed her anger and said, "Don't bother with that. I'll go get them out!"
