The female ghost's face was distorted from the impact, her eyes popped out of their sockets, one eye empty and dripping black blood—a truly gruesome sight! The female ghost lay lifeless on the ground, and Li Zhi stepped on her face, threateningly saying:
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this? How did you find her?"
"Haha, you'll never know." With that, the female ghost set herself on fire.
Li Zhiyi didn't stop her. She hadn't expected the female ghost to tell her anyway. She knew that the souls of these ghosts who worked for other ghosts were already imprisoned and would rather be scattered than tell her.
She just wanted that ghost in the shadows to know that she already knew of his existence.
Jiang Yu watched as Li Zhiyi approached him step by step. He had already encountered three Li Zhiyis, but this one was the most similar. Moreover, he could throw talismans. He knew that Li Zhiyi's favorite thing was to use talismans to deal with enemies, and the action of throwing talismans was so smooth and elegant.
"What's wrong? Why have you become so silly? Did you get scared?" Li Zhiyi waved his hand in front of Jiang Yu's face.
"You are real."
Li Zhi laughed, "How do you know I'm the real one? What if I'm a ghost in disguise? By the way, how did you tell that it wasn't me just now?"
She was really curious about this. In fact, she had been secretly following him, just to see when Jiang Yu would realize that the woman was a ghost in disguise.
"Intuition." He couldn't very well say, "I saw you throwing the talisman, right?" Anyway, no matter what, his intuition just didn't work!
Li Zhiyi didn't ask any more questions. Right now, she should leave this place first. This haunted building was much more dangerous than she had imagined.
There's still a powerful figure lurking behind the scenes, never revealing himself, and she hasn't found the key to the scheme.
"Let's go downstairs first."
Even without Li Zhiyi saying anything, Jiang Yu already had a premonition that Xiao Zhang probably wouldn't be found today.
Inside the school's security room, Officer Li personally reviewed the surveillance footage bit by bit, not daring to fast-forward even a minute, for fear of missing Xiao Zhang's figure. However, Xiao Zhang's departure was never seen in the surveillance footage.
The group went back to the police station together, and Li Zhiyi went with them.
"Captain, what should we do about Xiao Zhang? Xiao Zhang's mother just called to ask why she can't get through to him on the phone."
"When she calls again tomorrow, she'll say that Xiao Zhang has gone out of town on a mission."
"Yes, Captain!"
Everyone knows that Xiao Zhang's father was a narcotics police officer who died in the line of duty at the young age of 31. At that time, Xiao Zhang was only two years old. Xiao Zhang grew up in the police station's family compound. Everyone knows Xiao Zhang's mother; she is a kind and amiable aunt who always smiles at everyone.
Xiao Zhang is only 25 years old this year. If an accident really happens, he doesn't know how to explain it to Xiao Zhang's mother. Her husband died in the line of duty, and then her son died in the line of duty. It would be too cruel for her!
"Jiang Yu, I have a feeling there's more than one ghost in that building, and they don't seem to be a group..."
"Miss Li, this is a police station, not a place where you can tell stories," Officer Zuo Shiying said sarcastically. She had long disliked Li Zhiyi, and seeing her so close to the captain only made her angrier, because she had a crush on Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yue scolded, "Zuo Shiying, get back to your work!"
"Hmph!" Zuo Shiying snorted coldly and sat back down in her seat, typing on her computer. She didn't believe there were ghosts in this world.
"Miss Li, don't be angry. That's just her temper. She's straightforward and honest, but she's not a bad person at heart." Officer Li spoke up for Zuo Shiying, noticing that his captain seemed to like Miss Li.
"It's alright, I won't hold it against her. After all, nobody believes in ghosts unless they've seen them with their own eyes." Most people in this world believe what they see with their own eyes.
Ghosts are, after all, something based on hearsay; they can only be seen in specific situations, and not everyone has the opportunity to see one.
"Captain, what do we do next?"
Jiang Yu firmly believed in the existence of ghosts. He turned to Li Zhiyi and asked, "Zhiyi, what do you think we should do now?"
"First, don't go to that haunted building at night, no one should go there. It has become a feng shui evil, and any ghosts that break in there at night will come out to harm people, creating a vicious cycle."
"Secondly, let's go back there during the day to check. There's still a big demon there that hasn't shown itself yet, and there's a barrier set up. I accidentally entered her barrier and was thrown out. I couldn't find the entrance to go back in."
"Thirdly, there's the issue of Xiao Zhang. His chances of survival are slim. You need to be prepared."
"Miss Li, is there really a ghost there?" Although Officer Li also believed in these things, after all, Officer Chen was his mentor, and he had told him about Miss Li's ghost-catching trip to his house when they had dinner together last time.
But it still felt unbelievable, since he had never experienced it before.
"That's right, the world isn't just what you see here, not black and white. There are many things we can't see, like air. Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"
Just then, Jiang Yu's phone rang, and he took the phone and went to the side to answer it.
Li Zhiyi's words made Zuo Shiying, who was sitting at the computer, even more contemptuous. She turned around and replied, "Miss Li, stop trying to scare people. I won't be scared. If there really is a ghost, let her come find me. I'm not afraid."
Despite being a girl, she has loved watching horror movies since she was a child, but she has never encountered a ghost!
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" Is this policewoman really not afraid of ghosts?
"So what if I said that? There are no ghosts in this world anyway. Ghosts are just made up by people to scare people. Officer Li, you've been a policeman for so many years, have you ever seen a ghost yourself? If there were ghosts, why don't those who died unjustly go after their murderers for revenge? What's the point of having a police station?"
Although her words were unpleasant to hear, everyone felt they made sense.
When Jiang Yu returned from his phone call, he saw that everyone was looking at Li Zhiyi with suspicion and disdain.
"No matter what, I believe you. It's so late, let me take you home."
"No need, your yang energy is too weak right now. You should stay at the police station to handle the case tonight."
Jiang Yu smiled calmly. She hadn't expected that the other woman would also notice. Her workload was too heavy, and now that the higher-ups knew about Xiao Zhang's disappearance, they were paying even more attention to it.
