Chapter 50 Soul-Suppressing Curse, Murder for Money
Wang Lin's sobs stopped abruptly, tears still streaming down his face. "What do you mean? I wasn't poisoned? But I have all the symptoms you just described!"
Yun Shu smiled slightly, "People who stay up late for a long time will have this symptom, which is called arrhythmia. As long as you adjust your schedule and exercise more, it will get better."
Wang Lin: ?
【Ah? Yun Shu, you've turned bad! You scared me to death just now. I thought I'd been bitten by some kind of venomous insect while I was staying up all night!】
[Waaaaah, me too! I'm even thinking about going to the hospital for a full body checkup.]
Wang Lin was still somewhat skeptical.
He pointed to the back of his hand and said, "I saw it with my own eyes that day. The bug crawled on my skin and then disappeared in an instant! It must have burrowed into my body!"
Yun Shu explained, "It's probably a trick to make you think that worms have burrowed into your body, when in fact there are no worms inside you at all."
"Then how can you be sure I don't have any worms inside me?"
Wang Lin really found it hard to accept.
For the past two years, he's been helping bad guys do bad things, all because he was afraid of dying from the poison! But now it turns out he wasn't poisoned at all??
What has he been doing these past two years?
Yun Shu said calmly, "I can tell just by looking at your face. If you don't believe me, that's fine too."
Wang Lin: "..."
"Dude, the master in front of you is a real one. That 'Master Huang' who scammed you two years ago was a fake. He has no skills at all; how could he possibly cast a spell on you?"
[Yun Shu is the internet's living devil; whoever she says dies, dies. Since Yun Shu said you'll live, you're definitely fine!]
[Wang Lin: Do you know what I've been through these past two years?! Do you know how miserable I've been? I've been like a stinking rat crawling in the dark! And now you're telling me I wasn't poisoned???]
Lu Shijing and Mu Qing also glanced at Yun Shu with mixed feelings. They had just felt sorry for Wang Lin, but now they felt even more sorry for him.
Yun Shu said to Wang Lin, "I have a way to find where Master Huang is. When the police come to arrest him, can you identify his crimes?"
Wang Lin hesitated for a moment, "If I help him cover it up, should I also go in?"
Lu Shijing said to him, "You are guilty, but you were deceived by him, so your crime is not serious. If you identify him, you can atone for your crime and have your sentence reduced."
"good!"
Wang Lin agreed.
Yun Shu walked to the table and lit the paper food on it.
Then, she took out a talisman for summoning souls, and after reciting the incantation, the talisman lit up with a golden light and floated up and stuck to the ground.
"Come out."
A dense ghostly aura emanated from the ground, accompanied by a shrill scream. Several pale, translucent, slender hands emerged from the floor, struggling to break free of their restraints.
Not long after these hands reached out, a red light flashed on the floor, and scarlet runes appeared on the ground, pressing the hands back down.
"This is……?"
The three men beside Yun Shu stared in shock at the scene on the ground, and the viewers watching the live stream were also stunned.
"This is a soul-suppressing spell."
Yun Shu explained to them, "Master Huang's talisman water is fake and poisonous, but the talismans he had those five women wrap around their bodies are real."
The yellow cloth was inscribed with a soul-suppressing spell. Wrapped around the body of a dying person, it would forever suppress their soul in the place of death, preventing it from ever leaving.
Mu Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Ruthless, so ruthless! They killed someone and then trapped their soul here forever, preventing them from leaving!"
Lu Shijing guessed, "It's probably to prevent the vengeful spirits of the dead from seeking revenge on him."
“That’s true. Once these women die, they’ll definitely realize that Master Huang was lying to them.”
As the two were talking, Yun Shu took out three copper coins and threw them in the three directions of the Soul-Suppressing Spell, shouting sharply, "Break!"
Three copper coins fell, illuminating three beams of light, and the scarlet talisman on the ground instantly vanished.
"ah!"
A dense ghostly aura, like black mist, surged from the ground, and five resentful female ghosts, their eyes bloodshot, crawled out little by little.
"They're out! They're finally out!"
These five ghosts harbored extremely heavy resentment and had long since become vengeful spirits. Mu Qing and Wang Lin fainted on the spot upon coming into contact with their ghostly aura.
Lu Shijing was protected by a talisman and was fine, but he felt a bit uncomfortable, so he moved closer to Yun Shu.
"Mom, there's food!"
The youngest female ghost noticed the food on the table and lunged at it.
Yun Shu, holding a peach wood sword, walked over to stop her, saying, "Put away your ghostly energy first, don't hurt my friend."
Five female ghosts looked at her.
"You're the one who let us out?"
"Quickly, put away the ghostly aura! This is our savior!"
"That beast Huang Yaozong! He took so much money from us and then killed us. I'm going to tear him to pieces!"
"Mom, I'm so hungry, can we eat first?"
"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating! We finally got out of here, of course we should go get our revenge first!"
"But Mom, I'm so hungry..."
The five female ghosts were quite excited when they first appeared, each shouting loudly, but at least they managed to suppress their ghostly aura.
Yun Shu rubbed her temples and said, "You should eat first. You'll have the strength to take revenge when you're full."
Moreover, her paper offerings can calm these vengeful spirits down, preventing them from harming the innocent.
"Mom, our benefactor told us to eat first."
"Sisters, let's eat first. I haven't eaten in years, I'm starving."
"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
The female ghosts rushed to the table to eat, while Yun Shu went to check on Mu Qing and Wang Lin, giving them amulets to ward off the ghostly aura.
Viewers in the live stream could vaguely see five shadowy figures wolfing down their food at the table.
[Alas, five lives lost just like that, their souls trapped underground for two years. Master Huang is truly a scoundrel.]
[If Liu Zizheng hadn't discovered it in time, his sister Liu Ziyue would have been the sixth person to die! This fake master must not be let go! Hopefully, the police will catch him soon!]
[As you can see! Yun Shu and Master Huang are different; Yun Shu is a little angel of justice!]
After the five female ghosts had eaten their fill, Yun Shu asked them, "How did you die?"
The five female ghosts were furious when this was mentioned.
“During that time, we weren’t feeling well, and he came to give us talisman water, saying that drinking it would bring us good fortune and good health. But after drinking it, we had to wrap our bodies in a special yellow cloth to maximize the effect of the talisman water.”
Because we had previously asked him to check the feng shui of our home, and after he changed the feng shui, our area was demolished and we received a large sum of compensation, so we really trusted him! We contacted him more often and frequently bought his blessing items to pray for good luck for us and our family.
But who knew his talisman water was highly poisonous? We drank it and died! We became ghosts, wanting to find him and demand an explanation, but we're stuck underground and can't get out!
At this point, one of the female ghosts burst into tears, "When I think about it later, the demolition of our house was just because we were lucky. It had nothing to do with Huang Yaozong!"
He took advantage of our trust to rob and kill us! It's all my fault for being superstitious and causing my daughter's death too!
Originally, the four best friends had arranged to play mahjong that day and wait for Master Huang to come and deliver talisman water, but her daughter insisted on coming along, so she brought her daughter with her.
She even asked Master Huang if her daughter could drink the talisman water, hoping to bring her some good luck, but it ended up harming her daughter!
"Mommy, don't cry!"
The ghost's daughter, who was standing next to her, patted her comfortingly.
Yun Shu sighed, "What about murder for money? How did he swindle you out of your money?"
Yun Shu remembered that when the police investigated, they couldn't find any record of these people giving money to any kind of "master" or anything like that.
