Chapter 213: All Living Souls

Lin Xiyue took a few glances and then simply let the ghost go.

His brows wrinkled slightly, and then he grabbed another one.

She captured more than a dozen ghosts at once.

Lin Xiyue looked at each one of them, and the wrinkles between her brows became tighter.

“They are all living souls…”

"Sister Suiyi, what is a living soul?" After hearing Lin Xiyue's words, Gong Cheng curiously floated over, looked left and right at the group of shivering ghosts, but couldn't figure out what they were.

"These people's spirits left their bodies, but their bodies did not die."

The black thing widened its eyes, looking surprised, "Sister Suiyi, are you saying that these people are still alive?"

"I guess so." Lin Xiyue answered casually, then walked upstairs to the abandoned building.

This building has more than ten floors in total, and the space on each floor is very large. It takes some time to walk up each floor.

As she walked up, she asked, "Have you seen any strangers here recently?"

The dark thing nodded immediately: "Yes, yes."

Seeing Lin Xiyu looking at him, he immediately pointed at the group of ghosts following him like a little tail.

"It's these people. They show up out of nowhere and always hang around me."

"You said they are always around you?" Lin Xiyue stopped.

"Yes, ever since this group of people showed up, they go wherever I go. They are like sticky candy and I can't get rid of them. It's so annoying."

The black thing said this, but there was no real impatience in his eyes.

He has been alone here for too long, it would be good even if he was accompanied by a bunch of fools.

As he spoke, he pushed the ghost closest to him a little further away, but the ghost immediately came closer again.

He looked up at Lin Xiyue, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was.

Look, look, it can’t be moved away even if you push it.

What he was thinking was, luckily I am in ghost state now and don’t need to poop, otherwise with a dozen ghosts surrounding him and watching him poop, he really wouldn’t be able to do it.

Lin Xiyue's gaze fell on Gong Cheng. She seemed to understand something, and some mysteries were slowly being solved.

"Do you know how many workers died when this building was built?" Lin Xiyue asked.

"I know this..." The black thing said with a smug look on its face, "Before, there were people committing suicide by jumping off the building here, and the police often came over. The last time someone committed suicide by jumping off the building, the police said that 108 workers died when the building was being built, and the person who jumped off the building was exactly the 108th person to commit suicide..."

"One hundred and eight..." Lin Xiyue repeated the number.

"Yeah, isn't it a coincidence and weird? They are both 108, and no one has jumped from the building here since then."

The black thing couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

"In fact, when those people were sitting there, I really wanted to help them, but I couldn't! My hand went straight through their bodies as soon as I stretched it out. I could only watch them commit suicide in front of me..."

"Hey... some of them were still school kids. I don't know what they encountered, but they just sat there stupidly on the rooftop, and then jumped down without even a second's hesitation."

At first, it was all black and bloody, and I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep at night.

Although as a ghost, he didn't need much sleep.

After seeing it so many times, I became numb.

Plus, he couldn't go out and could only stand in the lobby on the first floor and watch the death scene, and gradually he lost interest.

Later, when there were 108 people, it suddenly became quiet and no one came to commit suicide in the middle of the night anymore.

"Apart from these living souls, have you ever met anyone else?" Lin Xiyue continued walking upwards.

"Yes..." He pointed at Lin Xiyue, "It's you!"

Maybe it's been too long since anyone chatted with him.

The black guy is talking nonsense.

Lin Xiyue directly summoned the Yin Ape.

As soon as the Yin Ape appeared, the black thing was frightened and immediately retreated a foot.

"Ahhh, what the hell is this thing? How come it looks like a human but is covered with hair..."

Yin Yuanhou rolled his eyes at him unhappily, then pointed upwards and said, "Master, that person's aura is up there."

"What the hell, this thing can actually talk? Is this human evolution or non-evolution?" The black thing was extremely shocked.

The Yin Ape rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I am a spirit, not a human."

The black thing patted its chest upon hearing this and said: "I was so scared! I thought humans had degenerated again!"

The Yin Ape bared its fangs at him, and the black thing quickly hid behind Lin Xiyue.

"Sister Suiyi...your pet bites people...ah!" Before the black thing could finish its words, it was bitten on the butt by the Yin Yuanhou.

He screamed in pain, "Fuck, you have no moral principles, how can you bite someone's butt!"

After biting it, the Yin Ape looked at Lin Xiyue guiltily. Seeing that she didn't react, he grinned at the black thing triumphantly.

The black thing was so scared that it quickly hid further away.

Lin Xiyue walked very quickly and soon reached the top floor.

Unlike the other floors which were empty, this floor actually had an iron door.

Lin Xiyue pushed it, and found that the iron door was locked from the inside.

"I've been to this place before, and it's strange that I can't get in even though it's inside this building." The black thing's movement is restricted to this building, but it should be able to go anywhere in this building.

But this iron gate is not acceptable.

"Sister Suiyi, is the person you are talking about on the rooftop?" The black thing scratched his non-existent hair and asked in a puzzled tone, "That's impossible. There is no other way to get up to this building except this staircase. If there is really someone inside, does he live inside?"

Lin Xiyue didn't say anything. She put her hands on the iron gate and closed her eyes.

After a few minutes she withdrew her hand with a serious expression on her face.

“It can’t be opened.”

This iron door looks ordinary, but it holds a lot of secrets.

Her spiritual power that penetrated into it was actually blocked by some special barrier.

I guess there must be a special formation arranged on this door.

Lin Xiyue walked around the strange door several times, then bit her finger and drew a special spell on the iron gate.

As soon as the spell was completed, a dark light flashed, and then there was a cracking sound, as if something was breaking off.

Lin Xiyue pushed with her hand, and the iron door in front of her creaked and opened a crack.

The black thing next to it was startled and jumped far away in the air.

“This… is it opened just like that?”
