"I have already ordered the Black and White Impermanence to lead the ghost messengers to clean up the situation in the human world. These small spaces that exist independently in the human world need to be thoroughly investigated."
"But over the years, I have never encountered such a small space, so I have never discovered their existence. It can be seen that they are very secretive and cautious. You are the extraditioner. The Styx space overlaps with the real node and can ignore the barrier. I hope you can pay attention to it for me."
"That's no problem."
Luo Zheyu nodded.
"I promised to help someone find someone, so I'll leave today and won't chat with you anymore."
The King of Hell reached out and patted his shoulder, lifted his wide sleeves and sighed.
"Okay, you're not in a hurry to leave these few days, right? I'm also worried about the small space, so I won't entertain you. Let's talk about it another day."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Luo Zheyu returned to the silver boat, and the boat moved away on its own.
He patted the hull gently.
"Take me somewhere."
Then he gave out an address, which was exactly the address that the palm-sized old lady had mentioned.
The silver boat paused, stayed where it was for a moment, slightly adjusted its direction, and continued to rush forward.
Leaving long ripples on the mirror-like surface of the River Styx.
————
The location where the boat in the River Styx stopped was very accurate. Following the surface of the water, it was exactly the address the old lady had said.
A sixteen-story residential building that is neither new nor old.
The floor number is... Floor 12, No. 1.
It was afternoon, there was no one at home, and no ghosts, but there was a faint ghostly aura lingering in the room.
Luo Zheyu checked the rooms one by one and found that it was the residence of a family of four, a couple and a pair of children. The son was older than the daughter, and both were still young, just in elementary school age. However, no utensils or belongings of the elderly were seen.
If my guess is correct, the owner of the faint ghostly aura lingering in the room should be the old lady's husband, Gao Yuntao.
His ghost probably went out with someone in this family.
Luo Zheyu passed through the wall and walked straight out of the room. He pressed the elevator button and waited. After the elevator stopped, he entered the elevator.
"Hey, why is there no one here?"
There was a young couple in the elevator. Seeing that there was no one at the elevator door, they didn't care much and pressed the close button.
"Why do I feel like there's a gust of wind blowing past me, like..."
The boy in the couple suddenly leaned over to the girl's ear and said.
"Like what?" the girl asked when she heard him pause.
"It sounded like someone was walking by!" the boy said, suddenly raising his voice.
The sudden increase in volume and the content of the words scared the girl.
He immediately raised his fist and hit the boy.
"You scared me again! I hate you so much!"
"Hahaha..." The boy laughed and squeezed her fist, not taking it seriously.
Luo Zheyu was tall and slender, standing straight by the side, looking at the yellow reflection of the elevator that did not show his own figure, with an expressionless face.
After the elevator stopped, he waited at the door of the unit.
The house was filled with the aura of Gao Yuntao's ghost. He must have stayed in the house for a long time, otherwise it would not be so difficult to dissipate. Although it was faint, it could be clearly sensed as soon as one entered the house.
Since Gao Yuntao can go out with his family, he will definitely follow them back.
Luo Zheyu just needs to sit back and wait.
Ten minutes later.
A woman with a slightly pale face, carrying fruits and vegetables, with a casually tied low ponytail and wearing a long skirt, walked past Luo Zheyu and entered the apartment building.
This woman is the hostess of the house, and she is in the wedding photo hanging on the wall.
There is a faint ghostly aura around him, but there is no ghost following him.
The faint ghostly aura was just something that was picked up unintentionally during the long time we were together.
The ghost energy is very bad for her body. Even if the ghost itself has no ill intentions, you can tell from her pale face and unsteady steps.
Luo Zheyu flicked his fingers, and a wisp of silver-white flame flew out from between his fingers, circling around the woman twice.
The originally faint ghost aura was all swallowed up and eliminated.
The woman carrying the fruits and vegetables felt warmth all around her, no longer as cold as she had been all year round. Although her body would not get better so quickly, she felt warmer and more relaxed.
She let out a breath, a look of relief on her face.
More than half an hour later, it was around five in the afternoon.
Two young children, a boy and a girl, carrying schoolbags, ran over one after the other, laughing.
A ghostly aura surrounded the surroundings.
An old man with gray hair that was neatly combed behind his head, wrinkles all over his face and drooping eyelids followed behind them from a distance, looking at them with a smile on his face.
The boy was about eight years old and the girl was only about six years old.
The two children are in the photo on the bedside table.
Finally I found the real owner.
"Sister, run slower, I can't catch up with you!" the boy shouted from behind, holding his sister's small schoolbag in his hand.
"Brother, you run too slowly. Even Grandpa is faster than you."
The girl stopped, turned around and stuck out her tongue.
"You're saying grandpa again! You're not allowed to say grandpa! Mom and dad don't allow us to say grandpa!"
"Oh my, brother, you just said three Taigong in one breath!"
The boy quickly covered his mouth with his hand and looked back at the old man far behind him.
"Grandpa, hurry up, we are almost home!"
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly..." The old man said with a smile, took two or three steps, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the boy from a distance.
"Go upstairs!" the girl shouted and rushed into the apartment building.
The boy saw her and immediately held the backpack on his back with one hand, picked up the girl's small backpack with one hand, and ran after her. "Run slower, what if you run into bad guys?"
"Don't be afraid, Taigong is the most powerful. He can chase away any bad guy..."
The sound of girls laughing came from inside the apartment building.
The old man was not in a hurry either. He walked in slowly step by step, just like an old man taking a walk after dinner, leisurely and comfortable.
Luo Zheyu had been waiting here for a long time. What he was waiting for was him to step forward and block the old man's way.
"Old man, are you Gao Yuntao?"
He asked.
Gao Yuntao had always treated Luo Zheyu as if he did not exist, as if Luo Zheyu was an invisible ghost. Until this moment, when he heard his question, he paused, looked at him in surprise, opened his mouth, and asked:
"You...you can see me?"
Luo Zheyu blinked, somewhat confused.
He is also a soul, although not the soul of a dead physical body and therefore does not carry any ghostly aura. However, if other ghosts see him, there is no reason for them to mistake him for a human.
How can there be any difference between seeing and not seeing among ghosts?
"That's great, someone can see me again." Gao Yuntao looked relieved.
"I don't know when it started, but except for my great-grandson and great-granddaughter, everyone else actually treated me as if I didn't exist. Humph!" Gao Yuntao was a little dissatisfied when he said this.
"But then I realized that they really couldn't see me. Tell me, how did you see me?"
Gao Yuntao looked at Luo Zheyu with genuine curiosity, his face full of sincerity.
Luo Zheyu was surprisingly silent.
There is something I don’t know whether I should say or not.
No, you must tell it.
"When did you die?"
"What?" Gao Yuntao's face immediately changed, and a dark cloud covered his wrinkled face.
"You just died. You are still young but you still don't learn your lesson. You curse people to death all the time!"
It turns out that he was a confused ghost. He didn't even know when he was separated from the Yin and Yang. Until now, he still thought he was alive.
"Gao Yuntao, you are already dead and are just a ghost now, so others can't see you."
Luo Zheyu spoke bluntly, without any euphemism.
Gao Yuntao's ghost has affected the bodies of his relatives on earth, so it is best to wake him up as soon as possible.
"You, you kid, you are talking nonsense with your mouth open!" Gao Yuntao pointed at Luo Zheyu angrily.
"You said no one else can see me, but my great-grandson and great-granddaughter can all see me!"
"They can see you only because they are still young. At this age, they should not be able to see you anymore, but you have been following them for many years, causing their bodies to have a heavy yin energy, so they can still see you."
"If you continue to stay with them, it will only make them weak, sick for years, and more susceptible to ghosts."
"You, you, you are talking nonsense!"
Well, Gao Yuntao wouldn't listen, and Luo Zheyu didn't have time to explain it to him slowly. He flicked his finger and shot a silver-white flame into the entire building. The flame quickly moved around each floor and circled several times. The ghost energy on Gao Yuntao's family and the ghost energy that had accumulated here for many years all dissipated.
Luo Zheyu put one hand on Gao Yuntao's shoulder and took him to the silver boat without saying anything.
"You, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?" Gao Yuntao looked around at the completely unfamiliar scenery, the strangely colored sky, the mirror-like river water, and felt panic and anger.
"Take you to see Xu Xiuya."
Luo Zheyu only said this and said no more.
