"Are you guys done talking?"
Wen Xi pursed her lips and said, "Be careful, the resentment here is very strong."
Only then did they realize that they had entered Building 9 without anyone noticing.
"Oh my god, when I entered the community before, it looked quite normal. How come the resentment is so strong all of a sudden? How many evil spirits are hiding here?"
Qu Lingling was cautious and alert. The lights inside turned dark red, which looked very strange.
“When I entered the community before, the ghost zone hadn’t formed yet.”
Wen Xi said calmly, "This ghost domain formed silently and extremely quickly. Has your Special Management Bureau ever registered such a ghost domain?"
Qu Lingling was not confident. "So far, there have been 46 registered cases of ghost areas, and I have never encountered a ghost area that suddenly covered the area like this."
"46 cases?"
Wen Xi murmured, "So there have been so many ghost domains?"
"As far as I know, this building has 30 floors. Looking for Uncle Xiao here seems aimless. Why don't we split up and search for him?"
Nangong Jue suggested, taking out a stack of talismans from his pocket and distributing them to them. "This is the Nangong family's communication talisman. If anything happens, or if you run into Uncle Xiao, light it and tell us."
Everyone took it. Qu Lingling clenched the talisman and asked hesitantly, "Then... how do we divide the teams? There are five of us in total, how about we split into two teams?"
"No need. Divide into three teams, each occupying ten floors. It will be faster to find it. I can do it alone, and Ajue can be in the same team with Miss Qu."
It was obvious that Qu Lingling was a little panicked and didn't want to act alone. As a senior, Nangong Wen Zheng made the decision with a wave of his hand.
Nangong Jue frowned, "Uncle, this is a ghost zone, you must be careful."
"Well, I'll go to the top ten floors, and you guys can look at the rest."
Nangong Wen Zheng held the beads in his hand, spoke with a broad perspective, and walked towards the elevator hall.
Watching the elevator flashing numbers from 1 to the 30th floor, Nangong Jue turned around and looked at the others.
He said gently, "Then let's arrange it this way. Captain Qu and I will go to the middle ten floors, and Wen Xi and your disciple will go to the bottom ten floors. How do you think?"
Wen Xi shrugged, "I don't have any opinion."
Qu Lingling bit her lip and said, "I remember what I saw just now from Building 13. People jumping off the building started from the 14th floor, right? The ten floors below are actually safer."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Xi.
The look in his eyes clearly showed that he thought the floor they were sweeping was too safe.
Ma Yingbei laughed angrily, "Okay, it doesn't matter, let's exchange."
"Anyway, I'll know later. People from the Special Management Bureau are just not as skilled as others. They're afraid of danger and prefer safe places. Okay, okay, when you go out in the future, don't tell everyone you're from the Special Management Bureau, or what... Captain? Captain of which department? After you go out, I'll spread the word for you."
Ma Yingbei doesn't tolerate others and doesn't say hurtful words with a smile.
Qu Lingling's face turned sour, she glared at him fiercely, and asked Nangong Jue to go upstairs.
"Let's go. Seriously, you can't stay with some people. The air will stink."
"Yes, yes. From now on, hold your breath when you see me. It will be good for your health."
Ma Yingbei waved to her with a smile.
After everyone had left, he looked at Wen Xi and said, "Master, let's start from the first floor."
"Well, let's take the stairs."
Wen Xi went straight through the escape passage without saying a word.
No one lived from the first to the ninth floor. I reached the tenth floor and knocked on the door of room 1002. Unexpectedly, I heard footsteps approaching from inside.
Not long after, a short-haired woman opened the door. She had a pale face and an expressionless expression. She was holding a kitchen knife in her hand and looked sinister.
"Who are you looking for?"
The short-haired woman looked at them warily and spoke coldly.
"We're looking for a man named Xiao Changji. He's quite tall and has slicked back hair. Have you seen him?"
Wen Xi looked at her with a dim gaze, raised a smile and asked.
The short-haired woman looked at them suspiciously and said decisively, "No, I'm very busy now. I'm going to look for my cat. Have you seen my cat? It's a yellow rural cat, very friendly, and meows when it sees people. I haven't seen it for a long time. It hasn't eaten for so long, so it must be very hungry. What if it becomes thin from hunger?"
The following words are already very mysterious.
"What's going on? We haven't seen your cat. There's no one here, let alone a cat."
Ma Yingbei shook his head.
"Xiao Lu, who is this? Come in and cook! I'm so hungry! I'm almost starving."
A man's angry roar came from inside the house, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
The short-haired woman's hand holding the knife trembled reflexively, and she said with trembling lips, "I'm coming, I'm coming right away."
He muttered, "Forget it, forget it if you can't find my cat, just leave now."
As he said this, he was about to close the door.
Wen Xi blocked the door with one hand and said with a curved lip, "Xiao Lu, is it? My friend didn't see your cat, but I did. Your yellow kitten is actually in your house, in the cabinet in your husband's study, on the bottom shelf."
The short-haired woman was confused for a moment and wondered, "Huh? How could it be? How could it run into the cabinet in the study? It's so naughty. Thank you, I'll go find it right away."
Before she could even close the door, the short-haired woman rushed into the study to look for the cat.
Soon there were sounds of quarreling, angry roars of men, and screams of women.
Ma Yingbei smacked his lips. "Master, haven't we seen a cat before? How did you tell her that we did? What's wrong with them now? Are they arguing? Are they okay?"
"Something's happening!"
Wen Xi crossed his arms and said calmly, "I was just helping her, telling her fortune!"
After a while, the quarrel inside stopped abruptly.
The short-haired woman ran back to the door panting, with the kitchen knife in one hand stained with blood. The blood was still fresh and kept dripping down.
The other hand was hugging a cat. It was more like a cat specimen than a cat. It had dried up and only a layer of fur remained.
The short-haired woman's gloomy face brightened up. She said gratefully, "Thank you, thanks to you, I found my cat. It really is in the cabinet in the study, but it's been hungry for too long. Look at how thin it is. I'll make it some meat rice soon. Once it's full, it will get fatter."
He even rubbed his cheek affectionately against the dry cat fur. The weird scene made Ma Yingbei's scalp tingle.
"You're welcome. It's what you should do."
Wen Xi remained calm and even praised it, "Your cat looks so well-behaved and cute. You two must have a very good relationship."
