”I've finally found you!”

I let out a long breath. This kind of place is really hard to find.

Fortunately, after so many years, nothing had changed here. According to the descriptions by the elders, this place should have been the crime scene without a doubt.

Of course, I couldn't be so hasty and certain. After all, so many years have passed since this incident happened, there's no guarantee that these elders' memories would have any flaws.

”Grand Matriarch is truly thoughtful!”

I hastily took out the compass the grandma had prepared beforehand. As for whether this was the place I was looking for, I would know after testing it out.

Compass was something extremely mysterious to many people. After thousands of years of history, no one knew how much effort had been put into it.

I originally thought that the compass was used to explore Feng Shui, to search for the Wind Thief's tomb. However, I didn't know that the compass was more than that until today when I heard from the Grand Matriarch's mouth.

Everyone knew that the compass could withstand the wind and water, could withstand houses and tombs, but how many people knew that it could also withstand the sky, land, human, ghost, or even just use it to peer into the mysteries of heaven?

When I asked her how she could use the compass to pry into her destiny, the Grand Lady kept her mouth shut and refused to tell me anything.

Since the Grand Matriarch wasn't willing to speak of it, I didn't pursue the matter any further. On the contrary, the Grand Matriarch had made it clear that I could use the compass to survey the ghost aura, after all, it was what I needed to use.

However, as for ghost aura, I feel that it should be called more of a survey of dead aura, it's more suitable.

Especially this place where I'm standing now. If it really was the scene of the murder back then, it must have contained some of the grievances the deceased left behind.

I picked up the compass and casually walked around the alley.

Sure enough, the further I went, the faster the compass spun. Furthermore, it was spinning randomly from multiple directions. It could be seen how deep the resentment was.

”Alright, it's here!”

I returned to Hu Tong's mouth. After determining the general direction, I casually looked at my surroundings.

This alley was not very deep, it was only about twenty meters long. Furthermore, it was a dead end, and there was only one direction to go in and out.

There were very few houses around the alleyway, and they didn't look like they had been destroyed in the past few years. Looking at their crumbling appearance, it seemed like no one had lived here in decades.

However, after some thought, perhaps this is more reasonable. If there was still someone living here back then, how could a lady die so easily?

Since no one was living here, it was good news for me. This way, when I summon my soul, I wouldn't need to fear being discovered and disturbed by others.

Indeed, the temperature here was several degrees lower than other places. Plus, this place was haunted, so it wasn't that strange.

Because of the excessive yin energy here, staying here gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

However, we still have to continue the soul summoning process. I first chose two Soul Luring Fragrance at the two sides of Hu Tong's mouth.

Soul Luring Fragrance, as its name implied, was here to attract ghosts, so that they could accurately come to your side. Soul luring, in other words, is just a soul luring.
