Unless it was a crematorium or something, how could four people die in the same place in half a month?
"Do you know that there are crematoriums or graves in Xinglin District?”I'm not familiar with this place, so I can only ask Xiangling.
She denied it without thinking." Of course not. That's a high-end residential area where rich people live. How could such things be allowed to exist?!"”
It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with that neighborhood.
Two kilometers didn't seem long, but it would take half an hour to walk on foot. Li Xiangling dragged her Taoist robe on the ground and walked in even slower. Many people on the road cast strange looks at her. Obviously, they felt that the girl next to me was dressed too strangely and was completely different from the style of this small city.
Of course, I didn't care about this. I was still thinking about how many ghosts had appeared in this place in a short period of time. Due to my lack of experience, I called out to Jessica in my heart, hoping to tell her what I knew and my purpose. However, the strange thing was that she didn't seem to want to pay attention to me.
After calling her a few times, Zi Yan just listened to me and didn't reply to me. I was so angry that I really wanted to call her out of the knife and teach her a lesson. Didn't you say that you would help me?
"What are you staring at? We're here!”Xiangling pulled me back.
Only then did I realize that there were four large words carved on an electric gate by the roadside: Xinglin Community.
"Nothing, nothing. Let's go in then.”I tried my best to hide my embarrassment and shook her off before walking inside.
"Hey, wait a minute…"
Before Li Xiangling could stop me, I was already blocked by an uncle in a blue security uniform.
The uncle was in his forties and had a stubble beard. He glared at me as if he had seen a thief.
Looking at the tightly shut gate in front of me, I finally understood that this was a high-end residential area. Outsiders naturally couldn't enter and exit as they pleased. As a stranger, I actually dared to enter so openly, which was why the security guards reacted like this.
"Who are you looking for?" The uncle asked coldly.
Right, who should I look for?
This seemingly simple question stumped me. I couldn't tell him that we were here to find a ghost, right? If that happened, he would probably really treat me as a ghost and capture me. However, the area in front of me was so big, and I couldn't be sure which family it was.
Seeing that I was in a daze, the other party became even more suspicious. The uncle put the walkie-talkie in his hand to his mouth and said hurriedly," Pay attention, there is a man at the main entrance. He looks suspicious. Come out and take a look."”
Alright, you said that I was acting suspiciously and even called for help. You really think I'm a thief. At least I look decent. Besides, no thief is as stupid as me to walk through the door openly.
"I'm sorry, we went the wrong way.”Seeing that things were not looking good, Xiangling quickly came to smooth things over." We're from another city and we're going to Jinglin Estate. It's dark at night and the handwriting is wrong. We'll leave now."”
Without any explanation, before the security guard could reply, Xiangling grabbed my arm and quickly left.
I didn't dare to look back. I walked quickly until we reached the corner of the neighborhood. After making sure that the gate was out of sight, we stopped.
"I told you not to listen to me finish. Fortunately, I remembered that there was a residential area nearby. Otherwise, you would be in trouble.”Xiangling complained with dissatisfaction.
Thinking about it, she asked me to wait just now. She blamed me for being anxious.
"It's my fault. Don't fuss about it. Let's think of a way to get in!”
I glanced at my phone. It was already past ten o'clock at night. Generally speaking, the ghost aura was the heaviest at midnight. We needed to settle it before twelve o'clock, or it would be very difficult to discover it.
"There's no need. I have a way." Xiang Ling smiled mysteriously, then pointed at the darkness and said," I've checked this neighborhood. There's a wall in front of us. It's not too high. A man like you should be able to climb over it."”
"You're really something!" I subconsciously patted Xiangling's head. My fingers touched her forehead slightly and immediately felt cold.
She was so engrossed in talking that she didn't notice my hand, which hit her right on the forehead.
The environment instantly quieted down. As if she had been struck by lightning, she suddenly stopped talking and lowered her head silently.
"Um, are you okay?" Seeing this situation, I thought that I had hurt her and hurriedly asked with concern.
Li Xiangling shook her head slightly and did not say anything.
I bent down nervously and looked at her face from below. I gently pried her hand away from her forehead. Unexpectedly, her reaction was even greater. She flung herself hard and dodged half a meter away. But in an instant, I saw her face red under the street lamp.
No way, I don't think I touched her face!
"No man has ever touched me."
Just as I was puzzled, Li Xiangling softly muttered such a sentence. Only then did I wake up from a dream and laugh in my heart. If I just hit her head like that, how should I describe the thing between me and Jessica?
"Haha!" I couldn't help but laugh out loud, but I saw her lower her head even deeper. Perhaps the Taoist Faction had strict requirements for the relationship between men and women. I could only guess that now.
"I'm sorry, beautiful. I really didn't mean to hit you.”I stopped smiling and apologized to her solemnly.
It was obvious that Li Xiangling wasn't actually angry. She was just shy. However, this is our first time meeting and I don't know her well enough. It's better not to mess around for the time being. After all, her dao techniques might be what I need.
She slowed down and didn't argue with me. It was just that the atmosphere was a little awkward and she didn't say anything else.
I obediently followed Li Xiangling to a wall hidden in the darkness at the back of the community. The wall looked much lower than the two sides and seemed a little broken. It might have been broken before and hadn't been repaired. It was less than two meters.
This height wasn't considered low, but I only needed to jump to the top. Then, I used the strength of my feet to stare at the wall and easily climbed up. However, it was much harder for Li Xiangling. She couldn't reach it and could only rely on me to pull it with both hands. The little girl was very light, so I was naturally able to pull her, but the trouble was that she had to put on a pair of leather gloves to cover her hands.
This was much more troublesome. The leather gloves were very slippery, so every time she pulled a little, her hand would slide down.
"Beauty, you'd better take off your gloves. Otherwise, you won't be able to come up!”I kindly advised.
She tried a few more times, but it was indeed fruitless. She stood on the ground and seemed very hesitant.
With the previous lesson, I roughly understood that the reason why she wore gloves was because she didn't want her hands to come into direct contact with mine. Seeing that there wasn't much time left, I took off my coat and twisted it into a rope.
"This should be enough!" I said as I shook the jacket in my hand.
Li Xiangling naturally had no objections. She grabbed my clothes without saying a word and I pulled her over with all my might.
Another half an hour passed, and it was already eleven o'clock. Li Xiangling knew that it was urgent, so she climbed over the wall and entered the community. Without delay, she began to check.
She took out a stick that looked like a rolling pin and waved it back and forth in the air. I seemed to remember that Second Uncle had a similar thing, but I had never seen him use it.
I had no clue, so I could only follow behind Li Xiangling. At the same time, I had to pay attention to the situation around me so that the patrolling security guards wouldn't bump into me again. Now that we've entered the residential area, if we're discovered again, it'll be irrefutable evidence. Even if we jump into the Yellow River, we won't be able to clear our names.
Xinglin Community was indeed a high-end community. The buildings inside were not tall because all the villas here were about three or four floors. There was a garden outside, so the entire community area was very large. After searching for a long time, he did not find anything unusual.
Could it be that the ghost energy had already dissipated and there were no ghosts now, so the test could not detect them?
I was a little disappointed. It wasn't easy to find a way, but it seemed to have stagnated again.
Suddenly, Li Xiangling, who had been silent for a long time, raised the strange rolling pin and whispered," I found it. It's over there."”
In front of the stick was a villa located in the corner. At this moment, the surrounding houses were all lit up. Only that place looked very dark, as if no one was there. It was really strange.
Prior to this, Li Xiangling had already found out that Xinglin District had a very high rate of occupation, so there should not be any vacant rooms.
"Um, beautiful, are you saying that the ghost energy is in that villa?”I subconsciously patted her again, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. My outstretched hand gestured in the air.
Li Xiangling nodded and suddenly looked at me strangely. She said softly," Don't call me beautiful. I'm not a beautiful woman. I'm a Taoist priest."”
After saying that, she went around the villa and continued to observe.
"Alright, I'll call you Xiangling then!" I teased.
She immediately covered my mouth and made a " shh " gesture to me. She mysteriously gestured at the back window of the villa with the stick in her hand. No one knew what spell she was chanting.
"This place has the strongest ghost qi!"
In the darkness, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind, and Li Xiangling was still seriously chanting the spell. To be honest, after two seconds, I understood that it was Jessica who spoke. However, every time she suddenly said this, it was really fatal.
I can't blame her. Second Uncle beat her to the bone, but she's not my servant. We're just cooperating.
"Jessica, I already know." I briefly told her about Li Xiangling's discovery." This is probably the source of the ghost energy in the city. We'll go in and catch them all in one go."”
"I advise you not to do this." Zi Yan replied coldly. Her tone was still emotionless.
"Why?"
"With just a little rookie like you and that little Daoist nun, how can you deal with the gates of hell!”This time, she spoke with emotion, but it was full of disdain and mockery.
I was already used to Jessica's attitude and didn't care. Instead, I became interested in the Gate of Hell.
So I asked her," What is the Gate of Hell?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:24PM
