Damn it, why is this thing clinging to me?!
I took a few steps back abruptly, my heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of my chest.
At this moment, anyone who isn't stupid can guess that she is that female college student!
A female college student who lost her head in a car accident!
But why is this thing bothering me?!
I just got back to the city, and I only found out about it because Zhang Qiang called me and told me about it.
The citizens and netizens have been discussing it online for days, but she didn't go looking for me. Why did she suddenly find me?
I stood frozen in place, my mind racing with thoughts, my pajamas soaked with cold sweat.
My first thought was to call Zhang Qiang, but my fingers were trembling so much I could barely hold the phone.
The moment I took out my phone, the screen suddenly lit up again, displaying an incoming call.
The number was unfamiliar and was even blocked; apart from the first few digits, the rest were all asterisks.
As if possessed, I pressed the answer button.
I brought the phone close to my ear, my eyes fixed on the heads of people outside the window.
There was no one speaking on the other end of the phone, but there was the sound of wind rustling.
Suddenly, her gray eyes stared intently at me, her mouth opening and closing as if she were saying something.
And finally, a voice came from the phone; it was a girl's voice.
"I've found you."
A huge sense of horror overwhelmed me. I brought the phone to my face and suddenly realized that the phone number had turned into a series of blood-red fours!
What on earth is going on?!
I screamed hysterically in my mind.
Was it because Zhang Qiang asked me for help that this thing sensed it?
Or is it because I'm covered in too much yin energy, making me more susceptible to attracting evil spirits?
But before I could think it through, the female ghost's jet-black hair, stained with sticky blood, somehow slipped through the crack in the window and came in.
My breath hitched, and without thinking twice, I bit my tongue and spat out a mouthful of pure yang essence blood!
At the same time, I formed a hand seal and drew an exorcism talisman in the air!
"Pfft!"
Like cold water dripping into hot oil, upon contact with the pure yang energy in the hair, it immediately emitted a faint sizzling sound and wisps of green smoke before instantly retracting.
The face outside the window suddenly twisted and contorted, glared at me venomously, and then disappeared into the night.
I was breathing heavily when I noticed a small patch of blood on the windowsill and the window.
I immediately grabbed my phone and discovered that the call I had just received was not saved in my call log!
I didn't care whether it was the middle of the night or whether I would disturb Zhang Qiang, and I dialed his number directly.
"Zhang Qiang, I just saw that female college student's head!"
Zhang Qiang on the other end of the phone was clearly confused by my abrupt question. It took him a few seconds to react, and his voice sounded somewhat excited:
"You actually found it! Wow, Chen Yan, you gave me such a big surprise without saying a word."
"What a surprise! She came to us!"
I recounted my experience as concisely as possible, and Zhang Qiang on the other end of the phone gasped in shock after hearing it:
"Damn, that's so weird. Why did they come to me as soon as you arrived? I've been investigating this case for days, why didn't they come to me?"
"Damn it, I'm glad I found you. I just wanted to get a good night's sleep!"
I said fiercely, "If it weren't for this kid insisting on telling me about this, this thing probably wouldn't have come knocking on my door."
Zhang Qiang on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle sheepishly, then asked with concern:
"How are you? Chen Yan, are you alright?"
"Thanks to you, apart from almost wetting my pants in fear, I'm all fine."
I said irritably, then looked out the window with lingering fear.
"However, I feel this matter won't just end like that. The summoning of the spirit must be done as soon as possible. Tomorrow, no, we need to prepare at dawn. I'll find the person who possessed the spirit, and you arrange a suitable place for me, as well as the girl's body!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Zhang Qiang readily agreed, after all, he was just as anxious as an ant on a hot pan about this matter.
The entire city's police force is now under immense pressure because of this incident.
The entire police station was in a state of chaos.
After hanging up the phone, I looked out at the pitch-black night and was no longer sleepy at all.
I scratched my head and couldn't help but curse:
"What the hell is going on? Can't I just get a good night's sleep?!"
After venting, I took a deep breath and started frantically searching through my contacts.
Huang Xiangu is definitely not going to make it. No matter how much money I offer her, she probably won't come. After all, following me to the underworld is a life-threatening matter.
I can only ask someone else. I remember when I was with Yingniang, I met an old woman surnamed Wang who lived in the suburbs and was also in this line of work.
It's the middle of the night, and I'm not that close to her, so I felt awkward making this call so late.
I waited until six or seven in the morning before I finally dialed that number.
Fortunately, the phone was answered shortly after it rang, and an old and hoarse voice came from the other end:
Hello, who is this?
It has to be the elderly, who sleep less and get up early.
My face lit up with joy, and I introduced myself:
"I met you before with Yingniang, don't you remember?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if someone was recalling something:
"Oh, I remember now, you're Yuan Ying's... you know, right?"
I was speechless. You didn't remember anything at all? All you remembered was Yingniang!
"What's wrong? What trouble have you run into?"
"Mother-in-law, you guessed right, there is indeed an urgent matter I need your help with!"
The biggest taboo in this line of work is asking for help but then hiding something from others. I told her the whole story in detail.
My other request is that she find a woman to help with a spirit possession ritual.
After listening, Granny Wang sighed:
"Alas, what a tragedy. So young, to die a violent death in the street, head missing too. How could the resentment not be heavy? It's no surprise that it came to you. You're a kid, after all, walking the path of the underworld, so you're prone to attracting these kinds of things."
I gave an awkward laugh, unable to suppress my inner grumbling.
There are plenty of people in this line of work, so why did they choose me?
Just because I'm handsome?
She paused, seemingly weighing the pros and cons:
"As for the person who would be possessed, I do have a suitable candidate on my side, my distant grandniece. She has a weak constitution but strong yin energy, and she can occasionally help me out. However, this job is too brutal, and you've seen the resentment in that girl's heart..."
At this point, Grandma Wang stopped abruptly, and I naturally understood what she meant.
"Grandma, the price is negotiable, and I'll be right there to protect you and ensure your safety!"
