Chapter 319 The vines have become sentient!



Fortunately, Qiqi is not an unreasonable person and will not get angry over such a small matter.

She stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "If it's not someone you know, then it might be related to the place where you buried the body."

"My...corpse?"

"Okay." Qiqi beckoned with her finger, "You come back to the red rope first. I'll take you for a walk around here in a bit, and you can feel it. If you sense anything is wrong, just give me a vibration to alert me."

"Okay." The female ghost nodded, but was still a little worried. "What if I lose control again like before?"

"Don't worry, I'll throw a few calming talismans into the red rope in a bit. With the blessing of the calming talismans, those evil energies won't affect you."

"Thank you, young master!"

Qiqi beckoned and took the female ghost inside, then spun her around in the open space, occasionally sticking her little bottom out and bringing her wrist close to the ground, asking, "Can you feel it? Is it here?"

"I don't feel anything, so it shouldn't be."

Qiqi searched again.

After interrogating all the spies, Huo Yuwei knocked them all unconscious, then tied them up with rope and used the cell phones he had taken from them to call the police.

After doing all this, he realized the little girl hadn't returned yet, so he couldn't help but worry and went to look for her.

"Little sister, are you all better now?"

He didn't go directly to the other side of the wall, but stood outside and asked in a low voice first.

Unfortunately, Qiqi was too focused on helping the female ghost find her body and didn't hear it.

When Huo Yuwei received no response, he immediately thought something had happened to the little girl and turned around. He saw the little girl sticking out her little bottom and struggling to clear away a clump of weeds.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" Huo Yuwei walked over, his tall and burly figure glancing down at the bushes but not finding anything there. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qiqi turned around and saw Huo Yuwei. She immediately smiled sweetly, "Big brother Huo, are you done asking your questions?"

"Hmm." Huo Yuwei pointed to the little girl who had been rummaging through the weeds for a long time, only managing to clear a small crack. "What... are you doing?"

"We're helping a young woman find her body!"

Huo Yuwei: ...

What the hell?!

Why can he understand each word individually, but when they are put together, they are completely incomprehensible to him?

However, he still easily grasped the key point of that sentence!

"You mean, there's a high chance there's a body buried here?!"

"Yes!" Qiqi nodded. "That young lady forgot who she was and how she died. But just now, while you were fighting, she was suddenly controlled by evil energy. There are only two possibilities in this situation!"

Qiqi held up one finger. "First, one of you is the murderer who killed the young lady. But the young lady said she didn't know any of you."

"Then only the second possibility remains: her body is buried nearby, and a connection has formed between the body and her spirit, affecting her consciousness."

Huo Yuwei squinted and scanned his surroundings. The place was desolate and sparsely populated.

If a body is found in such a place, it is highly likely that someone deliberately murdered and disposed of the body.

"So, did you find it?"

If someone had asked a three-year-old this question before, he would have thought the person was crazy.

But after witnessing Qiqi's abilities, he deeply reflected on his past and realized that he had been too narrow-minded.

"I've looked everywhere else, but no, this is the only place!" Qiqi looked up at Huo Yuwei with pleading eyes. "But this patch of grass is too big, Qiqi can't pry it open!"

The little girl spread out her hands, revealing her palms, which were red and swollen from forcefully digging through the grass.

The little girl's hands were fair and delicate, making the redness and swelling particularly noticeable and glaring.

Huo Yuwei didn't know why, but he felt his heart soften like a puddle of water.

"So your name is Qiqi." Huo Yuwei patted Qiqi's head. "You want to pull out this clump of weeds? Leave it to me!"

As he spoke, he pushed the little girl behind him, then pulled a military dagger out of his boot.

With a flick of his wrist, he executed a beautiful knife flourish, and in a few swift movements, he had cut the clump of grass clean.

"Wow~" Qiqi exclaimed exaggeratedly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Huo Yuwei, "Big brother, you're so amazing! Just as amazing as Brother Xiao Jiu!"

Huo Yuwei was taken aback. "You know Xiao Jiu?"

"Yes, I know him!" Qiqi nodded emphatically. "Little Nine Brother used to stay at my house and I treated his leg! And last time Big Brother almost died, it was I who used Little Nine Brother's blood to locate Big Brother, delivered medicine and talismans to him, and saved him!"

Huo Yuwei's pupils dilated.

"So, when I was dying in the cave, the person I saw was you?"

At the time, he thought it was a hallucination he had seen before he died. He was thinking, "Everyone says that the Black and White Impermanence who come to collect souls when people die are very scary-looking. How come it's such a cute and pretty fairy who came to collect his soul?"

Unexpectedly, that person was Qiqi.

He said that when he first saw Qiqi, he had a feeling of familiarity.

"It's me!" Qiqi grinned and tilted her head, looking at Huo Yuwei's face. "But big brother, there's something I've never understood. Can you help me figure it out?"

"What?"

“I looked at Xiao Jiu’s face before. He looked like he had severed all ties with his family. And at that time, you should have died, Big Brother. But why did you suddenly come back to life?”

Suddenly died and came back to life?

Huo Yuwei paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "This matter... I don't know how to explain it. My teammates and I were cornered and fell off a cliff. We were supposed to die, but suddenly..."

He paused for a moment, looking somewhat conflicted, as if considering how to phrase his words.

"...I don't know if I was seeing things or what, but a vine on the mountain wall wrapped around me and then lifted me up."

Qiqi: ……

Her first thought was that the vines had come to life!

My second thought was, could it be that the eldest brother of the Huo family saved the life of that vine in his past life?

Seeing the little girl looking at him with an indescribable expression, Huo Yuwei dejectedly covered his face.

"You also think this is outrageous, right?" That's what he thought at the time.

He stood there on the cliff for almost a minute, stunned, before he came to his senses.

It's important to understand that for a professional soldier, especially an excellent one, a lack of focus or sluggishness means he could be killed by the enemy at least a hundred times over.

This is a fatal mistake for a soldier!

This shows just how shocked he was!

While it is indeed a bit outrageous, but...

"Is anything more outrageous than me saving you across geographical boundaries?"
