Chapter 1042: Surrounded by Resentful Spirits

After hearing Meng Zhe's voice, Song Jiang finally put his heart back into his stomach. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "You haven't introduced me to who this expert is yet? Let's talk about teaching him a lesson later."

Although he knew that Song Jiang was trying to change the subject, Meng Zhe still patiently introduced him to Bai Jian, and then asked Song Jiang how he felt and whether he felt uncomfortable. After receiving a negative answer, Meng Zhe felt a little relieved.

Bai Jian consumed too much spiritual energy to treat Song Jiang and Meng Zhe this time, so he had to return to the snow-capped mountains to practice spiritual cultivation. Before leaving, Deng Kai asked a question he had always had, "Wouldn't it be better to find a place where spring is warm and flowers are blooming? It's so cold on the snow-capped mountains..."

Bai Jian laughed when he heard this and said, "Places with pleasant climates tend to have the most people, and with more people there is naturally more turbid air, which is not suitable for my spiritual practice."

After seeing Bai Jian off, they drove back to the Northern Capital. Meng Zhe would ask Song Jiang if he felt anything different from time to time. Song Jiang was puzzled and said, "Nothing special... Why do you ask?"

At first, Song Jiang thought Meng Zhe was worried about the spirits of the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise in his body, so he silently called them in his heart, but he never got a response. This was indeed a bit abnormal. Could it be that the divine whip had also injured them so badly? ! So that they could not communicate with Song Jiang normally?

Just when Song Jiang was puzzled, the car happened to pass a service area, and Deng Kai drove the car in. It was already lunchtime, so he wanted to eat something and rest for a while. Naturally, no one else objected, and Song Jiang took the opportunity to get out of the car and move his body. After all, he had been lying still for the past few days, and it was time for some proper exercise.

Unexpectedly, when the group just walked into a fast food restaurant in a service area, they saw a young man in his twenties sitting inside. He was wearing a black baseball cap and eating noodles in a bowl with his head lowered. The lower half of his face was angular, and he must be a very handsome young man.

There were not many customers in the fast food restaurant at the time, and the young man happened to be sitting right in front of the door, so it was hard for Song Jiang and his companions not to see him... But the reason they were so concerned about this young man was not because of his appearance, but because he was surrounded by several vengeful ghosts of different ages and genders.

It would be fine for other people, but it was broad daylight now, and under normal circumstances it was impossible for Song Jiang to see ghosts in such a bright environment. However, he still recognized at a glance that the figures surrounding the young man were not living people... So he hurriedly grabbed Meng Zhe and asked him with his eyes what was going on?

After hearing this, Meng Zhe asked in a deep voice, "Can you see..."

"Isn't this nonsense? There are several figures standing there so clearly, and I'm not blind!" Song Jiang said with some amusement.

Unexpectedly, when he said this, Meng Zhe and Lao Xu looked at each other, as if something bad had happened, so Song Jiang quickly asked, "What's wrong? Can I see that they are wrong?"

Meng Zhe wanted to talk to Song Jiang about the changes in his body, but he hesitated. In the end, Deng Kai pulled Song Jiang towards the bar and said, "Come on, come on... Why do you want to do that?! I'm starving. Let's order first."

Several people chose a seat not far from the young man and sat down. After all the food was served, Song Jiang asked in a low voice, "Is it strange that I can see ghosts? Can't Deng Kai see them too?"

At this time, Song Jiang didn't know that Gu Hao was on Deng Kai, so Gu Hao took the initiative to say, "Deng Kai can see it because I am here..."

"Gu Hao? How did you get to Deng Kai..." Song Jiang realized halfway through his words that his voice was a little loud, so he quickly lowered his voice and said, "How did you get to Deng Kai?"

Without waiting for Gu Hao to answer, Deng Kai's voice sounded again, "It's all for the sake of saving you... During the day, I will take care of the itinerary, and at night, Gu Hao will deal with things that I don't understand or know how to do." Song Jiang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Deng Kai pretended to be wronged when he heard it, "I am the one who is working hard, okay?"

Song Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes... You've worked the hardest." He was indeed a little hungry, so he took a bite of the fried chicken in his hand, and then asked vaguely, "Why can I see ghosts during the day?"

Meng Zhe took a sip of the coffee and soy milk he mixed himself, and then slowly said, "Because... because your body has undergone a small change."

"What changes? Why didn't I notice..." Song Jiang asked puzzledly.

Bai Ze saw Meng Zhe's hesitation, so he took the initiative to speak for him, "The changes in your body are invisible to the naked eye, but generally speaking... your current body can no longer be considered a human being."

Song Jiang, who had just taken a sip of orange juice, spat out a mouthful of orange juice when he heard Bai Ze say that. Then he said in surprise, "Professor Bai... were you scolding me just now?"

Bai Ze shook his head and said seriously, "I am just describing an objective fact... In order to save you, Bai Jian modified your body a little bit, so now you are a person with spiritual power like us, which is why you can see the resentful ghosts surrounding the young man just now."

After hearing what Bai Ze said, Song Jiang completely lost his appetite. He said in a somewhat depressed mood, "You are not human... But if I am not a human, then what am I? A monster?"

When Meng Zhe heard that Song Jiang was in a bad mood, he quickly said, "What nonsense... You are indeed not a mortal now. With spiritual power, there will be many possibilities. It may not be impossible to become a god or an immortal."

After hearing this, Song Jiang waved his hands and said, "Forget it. Being a god is not as easy as you say. Just tell me the truth. What am I now?"

Lao Xu thought for a moment and said, "That depends on your own choice, plus our guidance... But you can rest assured that we will not let you become a monster."

After listening to this, Song Jiang nodded and said, "I see... That means I am very adaptable. If I want to be a monster, I can be a monster. If I want to be a goblin, I can be a goblin!"

Meng Zhe was furious when he heard this and said, "Why do you always bring this up with monsters? With me here, you can neither become a monster nor a demon... I will make a proper arrangement for you."

Song Jiang saw that Meng Zhe was getting anxious, so he stopped nagging about the issue and looked at the young man surrounded by resentful ghosts and said, "What's wrong with this guy? Why is there so many ghosts following him at such a young age?"
