A green light flashed. It didn't take long for my body to gradually heat up. I knew that I should have arrived at the place, so I opened my eyes again. As expected, I was already in a dilapidated villa.
I immediately got a signal on my phone. I dialed Li Changtian's number. It was already dawn and night had passed. He should have an answer about what I asked him to do.
"What is it? Say that again?" There was bad news on the phone. I said angrily," Li Changtian, what do you want me to say? Before I left, I repeatedly stressed to you that you promised me, didn't you? How are you doing now?”
Li Changtian didn't dare to say anything after hearing my scolding. He was silent for a while.
"Tell me the address and send it to my phone. I'll be there immediately!”
I hung up the phone angrily. The reason I was so angry was that Li Changtian told me that Li Xiangling was injured last night and was now in the hospital. I told Li Changtian to take good care of Xiang Ling before I entered the Ghost Gate, and now something happened!
Li Changtian was waiting at the entrance of the hospital. When I got out of the taxi, he opened the door for me. He lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.
Seeing him like this, my anger subsided a lot. It was always good to admit your mistakes. I also knew that Changtian was indeed powerless to do anything, but since he was entrusted by others, he had to be loyal. If he couldn't do it, he shouldn't agree so easily!
After asking, I found out that the two of them had indeed encountered danger when they were monitoring the funeral parlor last night. It was the same situation as the night I was there. A large number of ghosts ran out from the ghost door and attacked the two people hiding in the car. Changtian and Xiangling also followed my instructions and covered every part of the car with talisman papers.
However, there were too many ghosts and their collective strength was great. They kept attacking the car from both sides, making it difficult for the car to stabilize and almost capsize. Li Changtian started the car according to the plan and ran away, but the little ghosts chased after him.
At night, the lights were dim, and he was constantly harassed by the ghosts. Li Changtian couldn't hold the steering wheel properly and accidentally hit the guardrail on the side of the road. He was in a hurry to correct it, so he hit the tree on the other side.
He himself was fine, but Li Xiangling was injured. The impact happened to be in the passenger seat. The collision between the car and the tree clamped her legs, causing her to faint from the pain. Fortunately, after dawn, Changtian found a friend to send them to the hospital. After examination, Li Xiangling was not in danger, but one of her legs was broken and there were several bruises on her body.
It's good that she's fine. I heaved a sigh of relief. Don't worry. Ziyan just lost her memory and something happened to Xiangling. I really don't know what to do.
Now, things have become more and more complicated. There have been scenes of ghosts worshipping the moon outside the funeral parlor for two consecutive nights, but I have personally investigated at other times, but I have not found any clues. So where are these little ghosts hiding?
According to what I know, such a large-scale collective action can't be spontaneous. There must be someone or a ghost ordering it.
But who was the mastermind?
"By the way, Changtian, did you find anything when you were monitoring the entrance of the funeral parlor?”I asked.
Li Changtian slapped his forehead and said mysteriously," I forgot to tell you. Before we met so many ghosts, we found something strange!”
"What is it?" I asked.
"It was around ten o'clock last night. Anyway, it wasn't twelve o'clock yet. Xiangling and I saw two figures coming out of the funeral parlor in the car. At that time, we thought it was strange that they were still out at such a late hour. If they were working people, they would have left long ago.”
" Old Hong, I think I've heard this name before, but I can't remember who said it, so I have to listen to Li Changtian."
"I looked at it a few times and checked the photo his family gave me. It's definitely Old Hong. As for the other person, Li Xiangling also recognized him. He's the fat director of the funeral parlor in the west of the city!”
That's right, Old Hong, Old Hong from the funeral parlor!
I finally remembered. He was the one who was on duty at the funeral parlor that night. Later, he said that he went home to rest in the morning. Unfortunately, when Li Changtian went to his house to look for him, his family said that Mr. Hong didn't come home at all. We thought that he had encountered misfortune and actually appeared alive again.
As for that fat director, Li Xiangling and I clearly saw him die in the morgue. How could he come out alive?
"Are you sure those two people are Old Hong and the director?”I still couldn't believe it. I confirmed it with Li Changtian again.
"Of course, my eyes are not bad. Xiangling is also very meticulous.”Li Changtian promised me.
I believed in this. During the process of contact, I found that although Li Xiangling's cultivation was shallow, she was very careful and smart. Li Changtian was even more reliable than me. I could trust this conclusion.
As for why the fat director and Mr. Hong left the funeral parlor in the middle of the night, this discovery might be a key breakthrough. I asked Li Changtian to stay and take care of Li Xiangling, and I planned to return to the funeral parlor to investigate.
"Um, Big Brother Su Li, please wait a moment.”Just as I was about to leave, Li Changtian stopped me.
"Is there anything else?"
"Hehe, actually, that, it's not my business. It's that, um..."
Li Changtian was speaking in a rarely-seen way. He was incoherent and couldn't understand what he was saying.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I promise I won't scold you, okay?”I thought that Changtian was afraid that he would be reprimanded by me if he did something wrong, but that was not the case.
"It's not like that, Big Brother. It's Xiangling. Aren't you going in to see her?”
I was so anxious that I forgot about Li Xiangling's injury. I thought she would be fine since she was already in the hospital, but I took the risk to come back. I was in such a hurry when I left. Xiangling even cried. Now that I'm back, I should visit her first. So, I turned around and entered the hospital's inpatient building. I asked Chang Tian to lead me to the ward.
Li Xiangling lay pitifully on the hospital bed. Her short hair was stuck to her head. She probably hadn't washed up properly in the past two days, so she looked a little dirty. The first thing she did when she saw me was shock. She probably didn't expect to see me again so soon. Then, just as I expected, tears came one after another. They kept coming out of her cute little eyes and dripped onto her face.
I helplessly walked to the bed. Originally, I was only here to visit, but I knew this little Daoist nun's personality. She would definitely cry endlessly. I was afraid of her now. I think I liked Zi Yan's personality more. She could control herself more freely.
"Alright, why are you crying? I'm back now, aren't I?”I comforted her softly. Seeing her legs hanging up, I said with concern," Xiangling, you're injured this time. It's all my fault for not letting Changtian take good care of you. You should recuperate now and don't worry. Leave the things outside to me!”
"Yes!" Li Xiangling's tears fell like rain. She didn't know what to say, so she kept nodding and crying.
I glanced at Li Changtian. He just shook his head, indicating that he didn't have any good ideas. I really didn't know what to do with girls who cried. It wasn't like I hadn't met them before. Usually, they would only cry in front of me when they were in that kind of relationship. Usually, they would just take off their clothes and deal with it. However, Li Xiangling was different. She was a Taoist nun, and this was a hospital. She couldn't mess around.
So, the two of us could only watch Li Xiangling cry like we were watching TV. We waited until she was tired of crying before we could talk properly.
"Xiangling, did you really meet the fat curator at the entrance of the funeral parlor last night?”I asked again.
"It's him!" Li Xiangling raised her red and swollen eyes and answered firmly.
"Alright, I got it!"
In fact, Li Changtian told me that he had already confirmed it. This question was to divert Xiang Ling's attention. After all, the crisis was far from over. She couldn't just focus on her body and forget her mission.
"Su Li, why are you back so soon?”Xiang Ling asked after crying.
"Why? Do you still want me to come back later?”I asked.
" Pfft..." Li Xiangling was amused and laughed.
It's good that she smiled. I roughly explained what had happened and also explained the strange things that I didn't understand either. However, right now, I had to solve Jessica's amnesia problem.
"That Sister Zi Yan is really pitiful. She doesn't even remember you.”
When I heard Li Xiangling's words, I suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. It seemed that Xiangling had the intention of hitting me when I was down. However, seeing that she was also injured, I buried this feeling in my heart.
"Have a good rest. I'll leave first!”I said goodbye to Xiang Ling and instructed Chang Tian," I'm going to the funeral parlor now. You can pick me up in about two hours. Remember, bring more people over!”
"Why are you bringing people?" Li Changtian was confused.
"It might not be useful. Right now, I'm just making a subjective guess. We'll see when the time comes. If there's a need, I'll tell you. If there's no need, just let them go back. I believe that with your ability, it won't be a problem for you to find some reliable brothers!”I didn't have enough evidence to prove it, so I didn't want to tell Li Changtian. But I need to be prepared.
"Of course. Alright, I'll definitely do it well!”Li Changtian patted his chest.
In my heart, I had a rough guess. Although evil spirits were very powerful and evil, the true controller wasn't necessarily a ghost. Perhaps, sometimes, humans were even more terrifying than ghosts.
