In the empty villa.
Ma Long lay in bed, tossing and turning, with the events of last night’s experience flashing through his mind constantly.
Yellow River water ghost!
The red-clothed female ghost at Xu Yang’s house…
He returned home around three or four o’clock in the morning.
It wasn’t until daylight, when sunlight penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling windows and shone into the room, that Ma Long finally felt a little safer and fell into a deep sleep.
His sleep was restless.
He kept having nightmares.
In his dreams, he saw his body falling into a dark space, constantly spinning, falling, spinning, falling…
In the end, he plunged into hell.
Countless evil spirits swarmed at him, pinning him to the ground, biting and eating him one bite after another!
“Aaaaaaah!!!”
Ma Long screamed and jolted awake, sitting up straight in his bed.
His face was pale, and he was drenched in sweat. He gasped for air, relieved to find out it was just a dream and that he was still in one piece.
“Phew!”
“Good, good!”
“It’s just a dream… and dreams are usually the opposite of reality, so this is a good sign!”
He tried to comfort himself.
Ma Long got out of bed and looked out the window, only to realize that the sun had set and the sky had darkened.
At this moment.
The doorbell rang.
Ma Long went downstairs and opened the door, surprised to find them: “It’s you guys?”
At the door.
Wang Lin and Bai Wei were also surprised: “It’s you? You are the owner of the Ning C: AR598 car, Ma Long?”
“How did you know the license plate number?”
Ma Long was puzzled.
Last night by the Yellow River, he already knew Wang Lin and Bai Wei’s identity, knowing that the two were from the state’s special department “Spirits Management Bureau”, specifically responsible for dealing with some “supernatural phenomena” in the world.
He invited the two into the villa.
Wang Lin directly took out his mobile phone and played the accident scene’s surveillance video for Ma Long to see.
“Driving so fast and running a red light in the middle of the night, are you looking for death?”
Ma Long commented.
In the surveillance video, the car was going too fast, preventing the license plate number from being visible.
However, when Wang Lin slowed down the playback speed and zoomed in on the license plate, Ma Long jumped up in surprise, exclaiming: “Holy shit, this is my car… What’s going on?”
“How did my car get into an accident?”
But soon after.
Ma Long thought of Xu Yang.
Last night, he parked his car outside Xu Yang’s shop.
At that time, he was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone, and when he came out of the funeral shop, he didn’t see his car.
Wang Lin paused the surveillance video, zoomed in, and pointed at the blurry figure in the passenger seat and the figure that suddenly appeared in the corner of the surveillance, asking: “Mr. Ma, do you know this person in the passenger seat?”
The person in the passenger seat had a fuzzy face, as if it was scrambled.
The figure in the corner, although the face was not visible, Ma Long immediately recognized his shape.
If it wasn’t Xu Yang, who else could it be?
However, Ma Long didn’t say anything but shook his head and said, “I can’t see it clearly.”
Wang Lin put away his phone and asked again, “After you returned from the Yellow River last night, did you lend your car to someone?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Ma Long could not betray Xu Yang, even though he wasn’t sure whether the “accident” would have a negative impact on Xu Yang. He made up a story: “After sending my friend home last night, I just drove the car back and slept until I just got up.”
Wang Lin wanted to ask more questions, but Bai Wei stood up and said, “Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ma.”
After they left the villa, Wang Lin asked Bai Wei in confusion, “Sister Bai, this guy was obviously lying. Why didn’t you let me ask more questions?”
“Even if he didn’t want to talk, you’d still be asking in vain.”
Bai Wei laughed: “Besides, now that we know the car belongs to him, it’s easy to investigate… he was at the Yellow River last night, with that Daoist… we just need to track the car and check the surveillance.”
After the two left.
Ma Long quickly called Xu Yang.
“Old Xu!”
“Was it you who hit my car?”
At this moment.
Xu Yang was eating in his shop.
He ordered a takeaway, one for himself and one for the female ghost.
After taking a bite of rice, Xu Yang said, “1 was just about to tell you, I will buy you a new car, and there’s one more thing, it’s not convenient to talk about it on the phone… how about you come to my shop?”
“Go to your shop?”
Ma Long thought about the disheveled red-clothed female ghost, and the sound of his voice went up a few notches, shaking his head like a rattle: “No, no, I can’t go!”
“Don’t worry, she’s quite friendly… I couldn’t hurt you, right?”
Xu Yang tried to persuade him.
After some convincing from Xu Yang, Ma Long finally agreed.
About half an hour later, Ma Long cautiously entered the shop.
Seeing that the female ghost was not on the first floor, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, “Where is she?”
Xu Yang pointed upstairs: “She’s watching TV upstairs.”
“Ghosts watch TV too?”
Ma Long was surprised and leaned in closer to Xu Yang, whispering: “Old Xu, you’re really brave… Living with a female ghost, aren’t you scared?”
“What’s there to be scared of?”
Xu Yang laughed: “She won’t hurt me.”
“Really?”
Ma Long’s eyes shifted, and he asked: “In the movies, it’s said that female ghosts like to absorb men’s Yang energy, so they come out at night and do that… Has she ever…”
Before he could finish, he clamped his lips shut.
Shivering, he looked at Xu Yang from behind.
The female ghost had appeared behind Xu Yang, gesturing with her jade hand and writing a line of bloody characters: “Dare to gossip again, and I’ll kill you!”
Xu Yang, seeing Ma Long’s fright, quickly said, “Lady Ghost, don’t be angry, he’s just being a big mouth. He doesn’t have any bad intentions… Alright, alright, you go and watch your drama, and 1’11 talk to Ma Long about the Extremely Yin Body.”
“Humph!”
The female ghost snorted coldly and floated up to the second floor.
Wiping a cold sweat, Ma Long shuddered as he glanced at the staircase, not daring to say anything bad about the female ghost again.
Xu Yang said, “I had something to do last night, so I had to go to Lingzhou City… She said she had never driven a BMW before and wanted to try it out, but accidentally got into an accident. But don’t worry, once I dig up her burial item in a few days, I’ll buy you a new one.”
Burial item?
Ma Long shuddered and said, “Forget it, a 5 series isn’t worth much money… What’s the situation with the Extremely Yin Body you mentioned earlier?”
Xu Yang was worried that Ma Long would be scared.
He didn’t tell him about the Extremely Yin Body’s susceptibility to attract evil and have a short life, simply saying: “You have an Extremely Yin Body, which is rare among humans. If you can find the right cultivation method, you can become a great master.”
Ma Long was excited by the news and immediately asked Xu Yang for a method of cultivation. Xu Yang said, “The methods I have are not suitable for your practice… But don’t worry, I’ll find the right one for you as soon as possible.”
As the two chatted,
time quickly reached 11 o’clock.
Officer Wang, dressed in casual clothes, arrived at the funeral shop and asked, “Xu Yang, what’s your plan? Can you tell me now?”
Xu Yang looked at the time on his phone and stood up, saying, “It’s pretty simple…. wait for a rabbit by guarding the tree!”
