Chapter 53

Hong Hong, that female broadcaster! I just saw her body.

"So, you opened the door! You let her in?"

Qin Luye nodded with a look of grievance, "Yes, I discussed it with Miss Huang, and we both agreed to let her in. She said something was chasing her, and when it reached here, it wouldn't dare come any closer. She was all dirty, and it was clear she had gone through a lot. We saw that she wasn't afraid of the talismans outside the car, so we thought she was human, and we let her in."

"After she came in, I felt very sleepy. I didn't even say a few words before I fell asleep. I have no idea what happened after that. When I woke up, it was like this."

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I..."

I felt my head getting a bit dizzy, as if the world was spinning!

Oh no! Something happened to Huang Yiyi.

I opened the car door and got out, taking out my three copper coins to seek guidance! But as soon as I took them out, I put them away. It was the hour of Chou, and even if I asked for guidance, it wouldn't be accurate!

After the hour of Zi, the hexagrams would be influenced by the change in Yin and Yang, making them inaccurate.

What should I do?

I was already anxious and restless. If something really happened to Huang Yiyi, what was the purpose of this trip? Was it just to cost a life?

Huang Yiyi is very important to me. I can't let anything happen to her! No, absolutely not!

No matter what, even if it means my soul leaving my body, I have to find Huang Yiyi and bring her back. This girl is too important to me. I can't lose her, absolutely not.

"Yiyi, Yiyi!" I shouted into the endless darkness, using all my strength.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Qin Luye stood behind me, apologizing cautiously, and she was already crying.

"This isn't your fault, go back to the car!" I ordered. Huang Yiyi was already in trouble, and I couldn't let her get into trouble too.

"Li Yao! Li Yao!" Just as I felt the world spinning, I suddenly heard Huang Yiyi's voice. This voice was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly illuminating my dark heart.

"There." Qin Luye pointed to the path I had just run out of.

I saw Huang Yiyi running towards me from that path. It was her, it was Huang Yiyi, really her!

I quickly ran up to her, and she also ran towards me. I was so afraid, so afraid that her appearance was an illusion, and she would disappear as soon as I got close.

But she didn't!

She didn't disappear from my sight, which meant it wasn't an illusion. Huang Yiyi really came back.

"Yiyi, Yiyi!" I wished I could run to her side in one step, but fortunately, I only took a few steps to reach her.

She was fine, she was really fine! That's great! This is great.

I grabbed her hand, and I saw her eyes full of tears, with a look of grievance.

Her hand was warm, and a large tear suddenly fell onto my hand, warm and real. She was fine, she was really fine.

Without hesitation, I pulled her into my arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have left you here, I shouldn't have left you here."

"Li Yao, I'm so scared, I'm so scared of losing you." Huang

Yiyi cried, and her tears quickly soaked my chest.

"I'm sorry! I won't let you leave me again. From now on, I will stay by your side, never leaving."

Finding Song Liuyan's remains is important, but ensuring Huang Yiyi's safety is even more important. Her safety should always come first.

This incident also taught me a lesson: the safest place is often the most dangerous.

We returned to the car, and Huang Yiyi's face was still filled with fear and anxiety. Clearly, she had gone through a terrible experience.

I let her drink some water and calm down before asking, "What happened just now?"

Huang Yiyi then recounted, "After that woman named Hong Hong got in the car, she told me that you had saved her. But some female ghosts had already caught you and were pulling you inside. I was very scared, and she said she had a way to save you, so I believed her and went with her."

"As we were walking, a woman in white suddenly appeared. As soon as she appeared, Hong Hong disappeared. Then she told me that Hong Hong wasn't human and that I should go back quickly, so I ran back."

After hearing Huang Yiyi's story, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought! A woman in white, who made Huang Yiyi come back, helped her. I remembered the female ghost we met at the village entrance, who probably wanted us to go back and not enter the village.

What was her purpose? It should be the scene I saw just now. If a new soul entered, the blind old man would eat a soul. She was afraid of being eaten, so she wanted us to go back.

With this conclusion, I suddenly understood!

As for Hong Hong, she had just died, different from the ghosts who had died before! She was probably scared to death, so after she died, she couldn't control her soul. In other words, she was in a state of having a soul but no spirit, not a complete entity!

Only when both the soul and spirit are present can one be called a ghost! After a person dies, it takes time to gather the soul and spirit, at least seven days! This is why the first seven days are known as the soul's return night!

On the seventh day, the deceased's soul can come together to form a complete ghost, so I deduced that her death was less than seven days ago! Because she hadn't formed a complete ghost, she wasn't afraid of the talismans I put outside.

She was attracted by Huang Yiyi's worry, and Huang Yiyi's worry gave her an opportunity to exploit, so she seized this opportunity to find Huang Yiyi and try to trick her inside.

Her purpose was clear: to make Huang Yiyi replace her! This is what is commonly known as finding a substitute.

"Mr. Li, why did she target Miss Huang, but not me?" Qin Luye suddenly asked.

"Have you had your period these past few days?"

"That? Which one?" As soon as she asked, her face turned red, and she lowered her head, embarrassed. "Ah, is it because of this...?"

I nodded, "Yes, because of this. Having your period is more effective than the talismans I drew. My talismans are aimed at ghosts, but she is just a soul, an unconscious thing, so she isn't afraid of my talismans. A woman's blood can disperse her soul."

"I see, so it means that women having their periods can be beneficial?"

I didn't deny this, but I was also embarrassed to continue this topic.

"Let's rest for a while. We'll go inside and check when it's light."
