Chapter 383 - Mo Chou (21) <2-in-1> (1/2)

Mo Chou, that was the previous name she had in her previous life. As a reincarnated person, unlike Fan Zheng who was only lucky to be picked up by a Daoist from Maoshan Sect, but one who hailed from a spirit hunter family, Mo Chou had greater abilities when dealing with ghosts.

In her previous life, while she was not the pride of her family for not being the strongest, she was at least one of the proficient junior members. At a similar age, she was stronger than Fan Zheng, thanks to her background and the lack of technology and others that would distract practitioners from cultivation.

She got her title of witch from having an interest in herbology. In other words, that appellation 'witch,' was just a funny title her friends from the sect had given her for frequently digging around plants and sometimes unearthing worms and bugs which reminded her fellows of the ladies from the Miao ethnic group. The sect leader frequently called those Miao ladies, especially their female leader, a witch, and it got extended to Mo chou who happened to be sharing one of their common trademarks.

But while her brothers and sisters called Mo Chou that, she actually had a great relationship with them and received a lot of pointers from them. The girl grew up smoothly without much trouble and grew her abilities as well.

At the time of her death, that was at thirty years old, she could already be considered a master that could deal with ghosts at the level of Jiang Li, a rank below monks that could vanquish ghost kings.

Unfortunately, while Mo Chou had become a strong spirit huntress, with plenty of experience in exorcism, she was not good at dealing with real people. She was not stupid, true. Her parents and seniors often talked about things she should do when facing normal people and she committed them all to mind. But knowing humans could be terrible from the mouth of ghosts who died horrible deaths from the hands of their fellow humans was different from experiencing it firsthand.

Like a person would only know domestic violence was bad, but would not know the extent of the harm it could do to someone unless he goes through it.

Because of her naivety and lack of experience with the living, when Mo Chou fell from a cliff and ended up a captive of those villagers, her mind was paralyzed and she couldn't think of a way to escape.

In the end, she was violated by Zhao Guo. Then almost got passed on to another rough man. Her death would have become more miserable if not for the autistic guy who blocked that pig demon for her. He died though. And she who managed to run outside also died not long after from several arrows that punctured her abused body.

In this world, there were really all sorts of evil and darkness. While some lived a blessed life, there were others not having it good.

For Mo Chou, the past was really something very painful for her to remember.

But perhaps because she had always been unwilling to let go of it that she mysteriously gained a chance for rebirth. Her memories were even intact, with her last moments the most vivid of all. So even though she now had a rich and caring family and a beautiful future, she refused to move on and treat the previous life as a matter of the past.

Wasn't there an army of ghosts that always stayed around Zhao village? That was her curse! Her obsession!

Gu Mochou seemed to be playing around and enjoying her second life but all this time she was actually waiting for the baleful spirits to break into the village and kill everyone there.

It would just a matter of time before the female leader there became a ghost queen, powerful enough to break that mysterious enchantment that repelled all entities with malicious intention.

Didn't those villagers desire for others to not know their evil deeds? She would respect that and let the dead erase them for her! They would not have to wait for the mortal law to punish them. The realm of the dead would be the one to deliver their retribution!

She would be the sole witness to enjoy their last moments. Zhao Guo would die from her hands after seeing how his little realm got reduced into a ghost village.

As for Zhao Bolin… The chance meeting with Zhan Rong was something never in her calculations.

Who would have thought there was still a trace of that foolish guy in this world? However, that little lady couldn't be his daughter, right? After all, it had been thirty years since his death while the girl seemed to be around twenty years of age…

Given that girl's sensitivity with spirits that became apparent at the bathroom, was it a remnant of his spirit?

Gu Mochou couldn't help but affix her eyes on Zhan Rong.

However, the villainess had no idea that while she was momentarily lost in her thoughts, her target noticed that she was eyeing her.

'Weird. Why is she looking at me like that?'

Zhan Rong had been pretty sensitive to stares lately and had learned to differentiate the kind of people watching her. Some were admiring her poise and beauty, which she was used to since childhood. Some were just people she happened to have eye contact with. The rest from ghosts that somehow felt she could see them and unfortunately couldn't be repelled by her amulet.

That woman… When she casually glanced towards the escalator, she saw the one giving her an unsettling gaze was a living person. She had no clue about the reason, so the moment she recognized Gu Mochou as the one in the restroom, she crossed her out from people she should acquaint herself with. Especially now that the woman was tailing her!
