C45 (2/2)
Master Xu walked into the shop and asked softly, ”This shop of yours isn't bad. How's the business?”
”It's so-so. I can earn a little money every day.” I poured a cup of water and passed it to Old Master Xu before I sat down on a chair, ”Old Master, that ghost girl has already begun to make her move. She stole the corpse last night.”
Old Master Xu said softly, ”You should have anticipated this long ago. Since it's already happened, then think of a way to resolve it.”
”How should we deal with it? That ghost girl's cultivation level is so high, I'm afraid I can't deal with her.” We're in the light now, and it's hard for her to catch her in the dark.
Old Master Xu said softly, ”It seems like you have yet to fully master the things Old Liu taught you. As long as a person has cultivation experience, a paper man made out of paper will have its own spiritual nature.”
”But why didn't I notice, this old man didn't tell me either.”
”Little guys, think about it yourself. In the future, I'll still need to rely on your inheritance to create my own craftsmanship.” Old Master Xu only stayed for a short while before leaving, causing me to be extremely confused. What does grabbing that ghost have to do with paper stabbing?
The afternoon passed. After closing up the restaurant, I had a barbecue at a barbecue shop nearby. As I was eating, I saw Guan Rou drive over again. Ever since the last case, I found out that Guan Rou has been following me around like a clown.
”Sister Guan Rou, have you eaten yet? Do you want to have some together?”
”I don't have an appetite … You all can eat. ” I took a sip of my drink and asked softly, ”What's the matter?”
Guan Rou's expression was somewhat ugly as she said, ”This afternoon, we found a corpse by the South Canal.”
”So what?”
”That body has no skin, as if it was peeled off.”
The Promise hastily said, ”This …” ”What's going on, whoever kills them will be skinned?”
”It's Mu Hua. She's looking for her physical body right now.” However, as long as he could find the body, he would also be able to find the ghost lady.
Guan Rou glanced at me and said in a deep voice, ”How about it? Do you want to help me this time?”
This isn't just your problem. If you don't find Mu Hua, even more people will die.
”This is the original form of the corpse. It's a girl in her twenties. Because of the serious situation, the superior did not spread it to avoid panic.”
Guan Rou extended her hand to take the photo and handed it to me. She then said in a deep voice, ”Therefore, we can only investigate in secret. I'm afraid only you can help me now.”
I took the photo and looked at it. The girl was pretty, but she was killed by the ghost.
”This monster must be eliminated!” After dinner, I promised to return home. I prepared what I needed and shook the copper bell a few times. This copper bell was truly a good item. With it, it would be equivalent to having a communications barracks.
”Ring, ring...” ”Ring, ring, ring!” Following the ringing of a bell, a cloud of green smoke rose up from the room, and a few wandering souls appeared within the room.
I reached out to grab the axe. ”Can you guys change into a new set of clothes the next time you come? Are you afraid that others won't know that you're ghosts?”
These ghosts all had a green complexion, and their faces revealed rotted flesh. One of them had his neck stretched out, and with a shake of his head, he drooped down as if he was about to fall.
”I'm sorry, we are here to protect ourselves.” I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I guess you guys are afraid of being bullied?
”Enough, cut the crap. Let me ask you, have you seen this woman before?” I enlarged the picture of Muhua and waved it in front of their eyes.
”I've seen this ghost girl before, but she's so fierce. We didn't dare to get close to her.”
My eyes immediately lit up. ”Where have you seen it before?”
”It's near the slums in the southern suburbs.”
