"No way! All they ever think about is tricking me into drinking the Meng Po soup to erase my memories and send me to be reincarnated. I haven't even found my senior sister yet, I'm not going!"
Dong Jiu cursed and swore as he dragged the newly collected ghost across the bridge.
Sudden……
"Oh dear, a ghost has jumped off the Bridge of Helplessness!"
Dong Jiu felt his hand loosen, and when he turned around, he found that a ghost had broken free of its bondage and jumped off the Bridge of Helplessness the moment he loosened the soul-locking chain.
He couldn't help but click his tongue, looking at the ghosts being devoured by countless demons under the Bridge of Helplessness and shaking his head in regret.
"What an obsession! Instead of being reborn into a better place, you insist on jumping off the Bridge of Helplessness to seek death. Below the Bridge of Helplessness lies the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts; a freshly born ghost that jumps down will only be reduced to ashes!"
Dong Jiu shook his head, ignored him, and dragged the other spirits across the bridge.
The soul that jumped off the Bridge of Helplessness was dragged along by the myriad ghosts below and gradually sank to the bottom of the bridge.
Meanwhile, Qiqi had finished her evening lessons and was preparing to get the needle for her fourth brother.
As I passed by my older brother's study, I saw him standing by the window with his back to the door, making a phone call.
Qiqi looked at her older brother's back and couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh."
"What's wrong?" Huo Yusen was only close to Qiqi in the Ji family, so he stayed by her side while she did her evening lessons.
Seeing him staring at Ji Zhixu's back, he asked curiously.
"Big brother is in trouble!" Qiqi blurted out out of the blue.
"Hmm?" Huo Yusen frowned, puzzled.
Ji Zhixu's tone on the phone sounded alright!
It doesn't seem like there's any trouble.
However, Qiqi seems to be different from other children; she can tell fortunes, and she's incredibly accurate at it.
Since she said Ji Zhixu was going to be in trouble, then it probably really is trouble.
Huo Yusen then asked, "So what does Qiqi plan to do?"
"Let's go get the needles for fourth brother first." Getting the needles can't be delayed; we can come find eldest brother after that.
After Qiqi finished speaking, she pushed Huo Yusen and ran towards Ji Yunhan's room.
Ji Yunhan's arm was riddled with thorns, and he was now lying obediently on the bed.
Upon seeing her younger sister arrive, she immediately fell silent, having been humming earlier.
She looked at Qiqi with a haughty, praise-seeking expression, as if to say, "Little sister, look, I didn't call out."
Qiqi was preoccupied with her eldest brother's affairs and didn't notice her fourth brother's expression.
She climbed onto the bed with her little bottom sticking out, quickly took the needle from Ji Yunhan, and then jumped off the bed without looking back, trying to run outside.
"Little sister." Ji Yunhan reached out and grabbed Qiqi's arm.
Qiqi turned around: "Fourth brother, what's wrong?"
Ji Yunhan hesitated for a long time before finally saying in a wronged tone, "Little sister, are you still angry with your fourth brother?"
"No." Qiqi shook her head, blinking her big eyes at him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, she pulled her wrist away slightly. "Fourth brother, if you're alright, can you let go of Qiqi? Qiqi wants to go find big brother."
"Looking for your older brother?" Ji Yunhan was taken aback. "Why are you looking for your older brother so late?"
"Big brother is in trouble! Qiqi is going to help big brother."
"What?"
Shocked, Ji Yunhan loosened his grip.
Qiqi was free, and immediately turned and ran.
With its short legs, it ran incredibly fast, and Ji Yunhan didn't even have time to stop it.
Huo Yusen quickly maneuvered his wheelchair and followed. Ji Yunhan rolled out of bed to chase after him, but then, remembering something, he didn't rush downstairs after chasing out the door. Instead, he ran to the side.
My older brother has something to do, so he needs to inform my fifth brother and our parents right away.
Qiqi ran to Ji Zhixu's study and was about to push the door open when Ji Zhixu, who had changed into his outdoor clothes and came out of the bedroom, saw her and called out.
"Little sister, were you looking for me?"
Qiqi turned her head, glanced at the older brother's clothes, and immediately ran over, her little face full of seriousness: "Big brother, are you going out now?"
"Yes, big brother is going to the lab." Ji Zhixu squatted down and gently patted Qiqi's head. "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave big brother? Big brother promises Qiqi that when Qiqi wakes up tomorrow morning, she will see big brother, okay?"
He had specifically asked the school and professors for leave, intending to spend the day at home with his sister.
I never expected something like this to happen so late at night.
Fortunately, it was about time for Qiqi to rest as well.
Seeing Ji Zhixu shrouded in black energy, Qi Qi grabbed Ji Zhixu's hand and spoke urgently.
"Big brother, can Qiqi go with you?" Afraid that Ji Zhixu would refuse, Qiqi quickly said, "Qiqi is very capable and will definitely not cause big brother any trouble."
Seeing her younger sister's adorable appearance, Ji Zhixu couldn't bear to refuse.
It's rare for his younger sister to like him, her older brother, so much and to be so attached to him; he couldn't bear to make her sad.
“But…” Ji Zhixu glanced at the sky outside, “It’s already very late, Qiqi should rest.”
"Qiqi isn't sleepy, Qiqi wants to stay with her big brother."
Seeing that the little girl was so insistent, Ji Zhixu couldn't refuse any longer: "Alright then, let's leave quietly and not tell anyone."
"Uh-huh."
They said they would keep it a secret and not tell anyone, but when the two turned around, they saw Huo Yusen sitting in a wheelchair, looking at them with a pair of dark eyes.
His eyes clearly conveyed the threat, "If you don't take me, I'll wake everyone up."
Ji Zhixu: ...
He had been on the phone the whole time and didn't know that Qiqi had invited a little guest to their home, so he was taken aback when he saw Huo Yusen.
Qiqi quickly introduced the two of them, then ran up to Huo Yusen and said, "Brother Xiao Jiu, my older brother and I have important business to attend to, so it's inconvenient to bring you along."
Huo Yusen's leg is still not fully recovered, making it difficult for him to get around.
Huo Yusen stared at her intently for a moment, then parted his thin lips and uttered two words: "Come out."
Ji Zhixu blinked, and when she came to her senses, she found that two bodyguards in black suits had suddenly appeared in the previously empty corridor.
Ji Zhixu: ...
Holy crap, a magician's transformation!
Qiqi, on the other hand, looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared with some curiosity.
She had a vague feeling that there were always people following Little Nine, but she didn't expect them to be so skilled.
Qiqi blinked her big eyes and turned to look at Ji Zhixu: "Big brother, can we bring Xiao Jiu along?"
"Okay." With such a skilled bodyguard by her side, the little girl's safety will be better guaranteed.
Although Ji Zhixu did not believe that there could be any danger in going to the laboratory.
But it's always good to be prepared.
So Ji Zhixu bent down and picked up his sister, while the bodyguard pushed Huo Yusen, and the group left the house directly.
By the time Ji Yunhan finished informing everyone and they all rushed to Ji Zhixu's room, Qiqi and the others were already gone.
