Chapter 57 (1/2)

Following Chen Hao’s gaze, Zhou Gang looked over carefully.

This was an ordinary traffic lane in the suburbs with no street lights. There was wasteland on both sides of the lane, and right now there were also no other cars on the lane.

Amidst the darkness, a figure could be seen standing quietly not far away in the light mist.

“Someone’s here!” Zhou Gang widened his eyes.

Why would there be someone at such a remote place at this hour? Could it be a villager from nearby?

But looking at Chen Hao’s solemn expression, Zhou Gang’s heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling.

“What’s the matter? Is there something in front?” Wang Zhen asked curiously.

Chen Hao said, “We’ve encountered something evil. Don’t move recklessly.”

“What’s there to be afraid of… wait, what? Encountered something evil!” Body trembling, Wang Zhen let out a gasp.

F*ck. They had just seen a ghost, and they were seeing a second one now? Would something happen to him now that he had seen so many of them?

“Hao’zi, is there a problem with this ghost?”

Zhou Gang, who was much calmer, asked softly.

Chen Hao nodded. “This is a ferocious ghost. You guys can’t see it, but her resentment is so heavy it has transformed into a cloud. Mm, don’t speak. It’s coming over. You guys hold this.”

Chen Hao quickly took out two jade Guanying and handed them to Zhou Gang and Wang Zhen.

Since the master was behaving so solemnly, the two of them naturally didn’t dare to hesitate. They quickly took the items from him.

On the other hand, the black cat merely cast a glance at them, before twisting into a more comfortable position in Chen Hao’s arms and narrowing its eyes in satisfaction. Its leisure manner was as though, after experiencing the tomb incident, it was now emboldened to completely disregard such wandering ghosts.

Right now, those three people saw that figure gradually come closer.

That thing didn’t walk to them—it moved in flashes, and within several flashes, it appeared just one meter in front of their car.

Now that it was this near, even ordinary people like Zhou Gang and Wang Zhen could see it in detail.

And now that they got a closer look, the two of them nearly pissed in their pants.

This was actually a… headless ghost!

There was nothing above her neck, and she was wearing a bloodstained sleeveless dress.

They could even see the bloody wounds on the headless female ghost’s arm, which looked like parts of her body were put together after the corpse was dismembered.

This ghost was horrifying, forming a stark contrast with Zhao Yuan earlier. Zhou Gang and Wang Zhen’s body fell limp, unable to summon any strength.

Chen Hao also suffered a great shock.

He had seen a few ghosts now, but this was the most horrifying one out of them all, and also the one most closely resembling what one saw in movies. There was only one word to describe it—disgusting.

But no matter how frightened he was, Chen Hao couldn’t behave like Zhou Gang and Wang Zhen. He was a master! Also, he was protected by magical artifacts. Even if it was a ferocious ghost, it wouldn’t be able to get near him. He told himself he had to stay calm.

After calming down the fear in his heart, Chen Hao looked right at the ferocious ghost with an expressionless face.

After he stared at her for a good while, for some reason the headless female ghost suddenly turned around and vanished.

Chen Hao’s brows furrowed slightly. He could sense that this ferocious ghost was rapidly disappearing. Clearly, it had really left.

But there was something strange about this. When he sensed this thing earlier on, it wasn’t too far away. Then it suddenly appeared to stop them, and now suddenly it left?

What the hell was going on?

“Hao’zi, where’s that ferocious ghost? Why did it disappear?” Zhou Gang asked nervously.

Chen Hao said, “It’s very strange that the ghost left. She should have died a wrongful death, thus her heavy resentment. But every wrong has its cause, and every debt has its debtor. Even if she can’t take it lying down, shouldn’t she be seeking her enemy? Why did she stop us?”

“Stop? Hao’zi, you mean this ferocious ghost had deliberately appeared before us?” Zhou Gang was horrified.

Chen Hao nodded. “I think so. If it’s not that her death has something to do with us, she’s probably here because she has suffered a huge grievance and wants you to help her redress it.”
