Zhang Guangyin sat up abruptly from the sofa, his face instantly turning deathly pale. Trembling, he pointed towards the door and said, "Chang...Ming, she...she's here."
I was startled, but my face remained expressionless.
There were four knocks on the door just now, so it seems that the evil thing really did come.
"Calm down." I stood up and gently patted Zhang Guangyin's shoulder to comfort him.
Since I have chosen to become a Taoist priest, dealing with unclean things is commonplace for me. If I am afraid every time, then what's the point of catching ghosts?
But since it was my first time facing something dirty, it was inevitable that I was a little scared. However, I could only suppress this fear in my heart and not let Zhang Guangyin find out.
"Changming, then... what do we do now?" Zhang Guangyin asked, his face pale, as if he were pressed almost against my body.
"Did you open the door when she knocked earlier?" I asked in return.
"It's not open, but it seems like she'll come in by herself." Zhang Guangyin was trembling all over, not daring to look at the doorway.
"Alright, I got it." I was going to open the door to check, but since Zhang Guangyin said she would come in by herself, I was too lazy to open the door. I secretly reached into my bag and grabbed a ghost-stopping talisman in my hand.
I remained calm, casually glancing towards the doorway.
Suddenly, I saw a human figure walk in from the doorway, and the temperature around me immediately became much colder. My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly suppressed the fear and whispered, "Brother Yin, he's already in and is walking towards us."
"What?" Zhang Guangyin's expression changed drastically. He looked sharply towards the doorway, then suddenly asked in horror, "Where is it? I can't see it!"
"Didn't you see that human-shaped shadow?" I asked curiously. I clearly saw a human-shaped shadow walking towards us, so how come Zhang Guangyin couldn't see it?
"No." Zhang Guangyin was even more frightened. He looked carefully at the doorway a few times, and then said with great certainty, "I really didn't see anything come in."
"Maybe you're not an expert and can't see it." That was the only explanation I could think of. At that moment, I took out a ghost-fixing talisman and hid it behind my body. If this evil thing tried to harm anyone, I would immediately freeze it.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but when I held the talisman in my hand, I suddenly felt much more at ease.
"Then what are we waiting for? Changming, hurry up and kill her!" Zhang Guangyin hid behind me and said urgently.
"No rush. Let me see if I can talk to her. If she leaves on her own, I don't want to fight her." I took a deep breath and stared intently at the human figure.
"Alright then, Changming, you must protect me." Zhang Guangyin pleaded from behind me.
I nodded, then spoke calmly towards the direction of the filth, "Miss, when will this cycle of revenge end? Besides, your death was just an accident, it has nothing to do with my brother Yin."
The humanoid figure, which had been walking straight, paused for a moment, turned its head towards me as if looking at me, and I immediately became nervous, my palms sweating.
I didn't act rashly, but waited for the filthy thing to answer, but after a while, she still didn't reply.
After glancing at me, the filthy thing continued walking towards Zhang Guangyin.
I frowned. Could it be that this filthy thing doesn't have the ability to communicate?
If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult. Even if I'm a three-pound duck with a two-and-a-half-pound beak, she won't communicate with me. No matter how eloquently I speak, she simply won't pay any attention.
I resisted the urge to take action. Since she didn't kill Zhang Guangyin directly, it proved that she didn't have the ability, or perhaps she didn't want Zhang Guangyin to die so quickly.
Let's wait and see. If things really don't work out, I'll just kill her. I don't care about the karma involved. I can't just let her drain Zhang Guangyin dry.
The humanoid figure walked up behind Zhang Guangyin and climbed onto his back. Zhang Guangyin seemed completely unaware, his face still pale and his body trembling as before.
"Changming, where did that filthy thing go?" Zhang Guangyin asked, trembling, glancing around.
"She's on your back right now?" I said with a half-smile, no longer as scared as before.
Even if the talisman I drew doesn't work, I still have the Money Sword. With just a little spell, I believe I can instantly obliterate this filthy thing.
"What?" Zhang Guangyin jumped up in fright and hugged me tightly, saying in a trembling voice, "Changming, I'm easily frightened, please don't scare me."
“I’m not lying to you, she really is on your back.” I forcefully pried Zhang Guangyin’s hands off and said seriously.
Zhang Guangyin's face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror. He shrieked, "Changming, I beg you, please kill her quickly! I'll give you a big red envelope afterward, two thousand is fine, or five thousand if you can't. I don't want her bothering me anymore."
"She just lay quietly on your back and didn't do anything out of line. Let me think about it and see if I can communicate with her." I'm helping Zhang Guangyin, not for money. Besides, this dirty thing doesn't look like anything vicious. If she's reasonable, then I'll send her away so she can be reincarnated sooner.
If I were to kill her like this, even though she wasn't human, I would feel as if I had taken a life. Of course, if it were someone like Fang Lei, a vicious and filthy creature who only knew how to harm people, I would not hesitate to kill him.
"What's the point of communicating, Changming? Humans and ghosts are different, you should just kill him as soon as possible."
Zhang Guangyin tried to hug me again, but I dodged away. I don't have the habit of hugging and cuddling with a greasy old man.
"Don't worry, everything is under control. Calm down, or you'll scare yourself to death." I took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Guangyin, saying calmly.
Zhang Guangyin didn't reach out to take my cigarette; clearly, he wasn't in the mood for smoking under the circumstances.
Zhang Guangyin shuddered, then asked me, "Changming, are you lying to me? I don't feel anything on my back."
I thought for a moment, then pointed to the mirror on the floor not far away and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go over there and look in the mirror."
Zhang Guangyin shuddered again, and with a final grit of his teeth, walked towards the mirror.
Zhang Guangyin went to the mirror and looked down. He immediately jumped half a meter high and screamed wildly, "My God, there's a ghost!"
