Chapter 37 Ghosts Everywhere
Han Liming and Zhuo Chi took Chu Runrun out. Ning Xuan looked at Chu Runrun's back and followed them without hesitation.
"I'm with you!"
"Brother, you..." Chu Ruanruan was about to persuade Ning Xuan to go back, but Ning Xuan said:
"Didn't you say that I have a very yang constitution and that ghosts and monsters wouldn't dare approach me? Then it won't be dangerous for me to follow you!"
"Let him follow! Maybe he can help!" Zhuo Chi said.
Chu Ruanruan didn't try to persuade him anymore, but just held Ning Xuan's hand tighter.
It was already past ten o'clock when they arrived at the fish pond, and Chu Runrun took out the talisman paper.
Just now, she used the soul-chasing technique to place Xiao He's soul in this talisman paper. This talisman paper will lead them to find Xiao He's lost soul.
As the talisman paper continued to flash, when it reached the hole where Xiao He fell into the water, Xiao He's soul suddenly came out of the talisman paper.
Han Liming was startled and quietly hid behind Zhuo Chi.
Zhuo Chi was so amused by his little action that he asked, "Captain Han is afraid of ghosts?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Han Liming reacted right after he finished speaking:
"Oh yeah! You guys are probably used to seeing people like this, so you really shouldn't be afraid!"
"Ghosts are actually just a kind of spiritual energy that exists in the human body. You also have three souls and seven spirits. If you think about it this way, it won't be so scary!" said Zhuo Chi.
Han Liming: "Confucius said to respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance. Let's respect the ancients!"
Zhuo Chi shook his head in amusement.
Only then did Han Liming realize that Zhuo Chi was actually smiling. This was the first time he saw Zhuo Chi smile in all the days they had known each other.
"Forensic Doctor Zhuo, it turns out you can laugh!" Han Liming said.
"Of course I can laugh, but I just don't like to laugh!" said Zhuo Chi.
"You should smile more often to avoid getting old!"
As he was speaking, Xiao He's soul quickly headed towards the ice hole, and Chu Runrun clearly felt waves of evil energy coming from it.
"Come back!" Chu Runrun shouted, and Xiao He's soul stopped on the ice.
But it seemed like something was pulling him into the ice hole, and Xiao He couldn't go back even if he wanted to.
"Xiao He, come back!" Chu Runrun activated the talisman paper, but felt that there was a force against her.
"Uncle Zhuo, hurry up and attack the ice hole!" Chu Runrun said hurriedly.
Zhuo Chi took out a short silver sickle from his arms and threw it out. The sickle hit the ice hole directly, but was bounced back by something.
Zhuo Chi frowned. He had asked the descendants of Maoshan to carve a formation on his sickle, but the things inside were not affected.
At the critical moment, Ning Xuan had an idea. He wrapped the talisman paper given to him by Chu Ruanruan with a stone and threw it towards the ice hole.
When the talisman paper entered the ice hole, the force that was tearing Xiao He's soul suddenly disappeared for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Chu Ruanruan immediately took Xiao He's soul back into the talisman paper.
Chu Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately!"
"Why is my Soul-Hunting Blade useless against it? What is inside it?" Zhuo Chi frowned.
Chu Ruanruan glanced at Zhuo Chi's sickle and said, "The formation on it is invalid, so of course it's useless against it!"
Zhuo Chi looked at the dimmed formation runes on the sickle and remembered that someone had said that the formation had a time limit, but he had forgotten it.
"Then what should we do now? Xiao He's soul is in there. Do we have to go into the water to fish it out?" Han Liming asked.
“No need to go in the water!”
Chu Ruanruan took out a paper man from her bag. The paper man was covered with oil so it would not be soaked by water.
"Let it go and see what's going on inside!"
Chu Ruanruan chanted a spell and the paper man flew into the ice hole.
Chu Runrun closed her eyes and saw the situation under the fish pond through the induction with the paper man.
As the paper man sneaked in, the light became less and less, and it was pitch black inside. Chu Runrun could not see anything, but she could clearly feel that the yin energy was becoming more and more dense.
Suddenly, the paper figure was caught by an unknown force, and then dived deep, and the force actually brought her to the bottom of the fish pond.
Chu Runrun saw countless corpses, and next to the corpses stood their souls. They were all children, ranging from fifteen or sixteen years old to newborn babies.
There are nearly a hundred corpses buried under the entire fish pond. The resentful environment nourishes these ghosts, and the souls that should have left become resentful ghosts because they cannot rest in peace.
Among these many souls, Chu Ruanruan saw the soul that Xiao He had lost, and several ghost babies were playing around him.
It turns out that they lured Xiao He here just to let him play with these ghost babies, but Xiao He, who still had some human intelligence, was obviously very afraid of these ghosts.
"Please, save us!"
The ghost of a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old looked at the paper man and begged.
Chu Ruanruan controlled the paper figurine and nodded: "I will save you, but Uncle Xiao He is innocent, please let him go!"
"If you save us, we will let him go!" The boy's ghost obviously didn't believe Chu Ruanruan.
Chu Ruanruan’s paper man couldn’t communicate for too long, so she could only control it to come back first.
Seeing Chu Ruanruan open her eyes, Zhuo Chi hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"There are many children's bodies buried under this fish pond. Their organs have been dug out. Because their bodies are buried here, their souls have turned into resentful ghosts and gathered here. Uncle Xiao He's soul is controlled by them!" Chu Ruanruan said.
"The child's body!" Han Liming was shocked:
"No wonder this group kidnapped so many children but we didn't see any of them. It turns out they were all buried here!"
"Damn it! I'm going to arrest them all one day!" Han Liming was furious.
"If we just dig up their bones and bury them, can we release Xiao He's soul?" asked Zhuo Chi.
Chu Ruanruan nodded: "Uncle Xiao He's body will rot without his soul. Even if his soul comes back, it will be useless. So I want to negotiate with them first and release Uncle Xiao He!"
"Negotiate? Negotiate with a ghost?" Han Liming swallowed.
"People and ghosts can't talk to each other, but ghosts can talk to each other!" Chu Ruanruan took out the jade bone flute.
"Sister Zhiyin, can you help me?"
After saying that, Wei Zhiyin, dressed in red, floated out from the jade bone flute.
As expected, Han Liming was frightened again: "Another... another ghost, and it's a female ghost!"
Wei Zhiyin looked at Han Liming and Zhuo Chi and bowed: "Zhiyin greets the two gentlemen!"
"It's an ancient female ghost!" Han Liming said in surprise.
"Uncle, don't be afraid. Sister Zhiyin is my friend and won't hurt you!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Han Liming turned his head away guiltily: "I...I'm not afraid!"
Zhuo Chi: "Then why don't you consider letting me go? You're about to break my arm!"
Only then did Han Liming realize that his hand was tightly holding Zhuo Chi's arm!
"Ahem! Um... let's get down to business. Saving Xiao He is the most important thing!"
Chu Ruanruan chuckled: "Sister Zhiyin, thank you for your help!"
"They are just a bunch of kids. I'll be back soon!" Wei Zhiyin said and floated to the bottom of the fish pond.
