At this moment, Lin Ting felt the Yin Qi flowing in the corridor become much thicker.
Looking up, he saw countless ghostly figures appearing in the corridor. The air was filled with the smell of roasted meat. These ghostly figures were all charred black, and only their eyes were white. Some of their limbs were especially stiff, and they surrounded Lin Ting like zombies.
"Hot…"
"It's so hot…"
These ghostly shadows let out strange moans.
Crack, crack, crack...
It sounded like something was burning.
"Are these ghosts the tenants who were burned to death here back then? The threat isn't that great." Lin Ting muttered to himself.
With so many ghostly shadows surrounding Lin Ting, although the scene made his scalp go numb, Lin Ting knew what to do and was not afraid.
Just as Lin Ting was about to fight back, a cold hand suddenly came from a room beside him and placed it on Lin Ting's arm. Lin Ting turned around and saw a translucent male ghost. Then, the male ghost dragged Lin Ting into the room from the ghost shadows.
Bang!
Then, the male ghost hurriedly closed the door, leaving Lin Ting and the male ghost alone in the room.
In the pitch-black room, a human and a ghost stared at each other.
" I'm Gu Fei. What's your name?" The male ghost asked.
"My name is Lin Ting." Lin Ting didn't know what was going on.
The male ghost called Gu Fei sized Lin Ting up and said,""Who are you? You came to such a place in the middle of the night. Do you want to die?”
"And who are you?" Lin Ting asked.
"Can't you tell? I'm not human, I'm a ghost." Gu Fei said," But before I died, I was a paranormal consultant for the city bureau. Now that I'm trapped here, let's not talk about this useless stuff. You should hurry up and leave. It's very dangerous here.”
"You're the previous paranormal consultant of the municipal bureau?”Lin Ting was a little surprised.
"Are you the new paranormal consultant that Uncle Lu hired?”Gu Fei's eyes widened in surprise.
Lin Ting shook his head.
Gu Fei did not dwell on this issue, and he placed his ear on the door to listen for any movement outside, whispering,""You should leave quickly. You can't help. Go back and tell Uncle Lu to report this to the Evil Suppression Bureau.”
Lin Ting was already here. It was definitely impossible for him to leave just like that.
"Why don't you tell me what happened here and what kind of malicious ghosts are hiding here?”Lin Ting said to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei looked at Lin Ting and sighed,""Alright, I risked my life to find out this information. It's not bad for you to help me bring it out.”
Lin Ting was speechless. You're not risking your life, you're already dead.
Gu Fei did not notice Lin Ting's expression as he said,""The malicious ghost that is occupying this hotel is called Jiang Ping. She is the child adopted by Jiang Weishan and his wife who own this hotel. Jiang Weishan and his wife adopted Jiang Ping. They didn't treat Jiang Ping well, but they weren't crazy enough. Until five years ago, Jiang Weishan got drunk one night and raped Jiang Ping.”
"It wasn't hidden. Jiang Weishan's wife soon found out about it. However, she didn't make a scene with Jiang Weishan. Instead, she thought that Jiang Ping was a vixen and hung her up to beat her up. Moreover, Jiang Weishan did not choose to protect Jiang Ping. In order to please his wife, he also beat Jiang Ping up. From that day on, Jiang Ping's nightmare began. Jiang Weishan and his wife abused her from time to time and made her eat with the dog. When there was no one at home, they were only allowed to crawl around naked and locked her in the innermost room on the third floor.”
"Four years ago, a guest who was staying at the hotel saw Jiang Ping. He was so horny that he f * cked her. This matter was exposed by Jiang Weishan and his wife, but they did not seek justice for Jiang Ping. Instead, they extorted a sum of money from the customer. Then, the couple discovered a plan to make money. Every night, they would send Jiang Ping to the rooms of those guests.”
Lin Ting gasped as he listened to Gu Fei's narration. There really were all kinds of damned trash.
Gu Fei continued," Until one day, a mysterious guest told Jiang Ping a way to free herself.”
"What method?" Lin Ting asked subconsciously.
"Self-immolation." Gu Fei said.
Lin Ting nodded.
"But at that time, compared to being freed from pain, Jiang Ping's deeper emotion was that she wanted revenge. The mysterious guest told her that as long as she followed his method of self-immolation, she could turn into a ghost and burn it to death. At that time, she could naturally take revenge.”Gu Fei said," So, Jiang Ping set herself on fire in the bathroom of her own room.”
"Jiang Ping really became a ghost that was burned to death?" Lin Ting asked.
"Yes, and because of her great resentment, she suddenly became a fierce ghost with twenty years of cultivation.”Gu Fei said.
Lin Ting nodded. He had learned some knowledge about ghosts in the past two days. Ghosts improved faster than priests and mages. Usually, the greater the resentment, the higher the cultivation of the ghost. Not all ghosts had the same strength at the beginning.
Ghosts had a huge advantage over humans. Moreover, if ghosts cultivated in places with dense Yin Qi such as mass graves, their cultivation speed would increase even faster. However, humans did not have such an environment for cultivation.
Therefore, ghosts usually cultivated much faster than humans. On the other hand, human mages and Taoists could also make up for this gap with the help of magic tools.
"So, in the night of returning souls, Jiang Ping killed Jiang Weishan and his wife and burned 21 people who were staying in the hotel.”Gu Fei looked at Lin Ting faintly after he finished explaining the entire incident.
"You really know everything.”Lin Ting said," Only Jiang Ping herself knows about these things, right? Right, Jiang Ping?"
" What do you mean?" Gu Fei was taken aback.
"You're not Gu Fei, you're Jiang Ping.”Lin Ting said indifferently.
Just as Lin Ting's voice fell, Gu Fei's face suddenly contorted.
"Ahhhhh!" Gu Fei clutched his head as he cried out in pain.
His face slowly turned into that of a woman, and in the next moment, it returned to Gu Fei's face.
Gu Fei was already dead, and his soul had been devoured by Jiang Ping. The Gu Fei before him was merely a manifestation of Jiang Ping's resentment clone.
Lin Ting had seen through him, and the clone began to doubt himself, constantly switching between Gu Fei and Jiang Ping's faces.
"Rest in peace." Lin Ting pointed his sword finger at Gu Fei's forehead, and the resentful clone instantly dissipated.
Gu Fei's last shred of lingering thoughts in this world had also vanished into thin air.
"It's time to meet the person in question." Lin Ting said.
