Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 653 of the horror story collection! The Bridge of the Female Ghost!
Compared to the senior in red, Luo Fu thought the female ghost on the Ghost Bridge was more worthy of being subdued and used as a tool.

As for the senior in red, the best outcome would be for her soul to be scattered, and even the chance to suffer in hell would be a form of forgiveness.

After driving back to the 444 convenience store.

Zhao Li couldn't wait to drag Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya out of the car all at once.

"holly."

Seeing that Xia Dongqing was about to be dragged to the convenience store against his will, Luo Fu, who was sitting in the car, took out his phone, showed his QR code, and said, "Let's add each other's contact information."

Wang Xiaoya's eyes lit up immediately, and she eagerly stepped forward, scanning the QR code and saying, "I'll add one too."

Even if Zhao Li wanted to stop Xia Dongqing from exchanging contact information, he couldn't think of a suitable reason and could only let go of her.

After exchanging contact information, amidst Wang Xiaoya's reluctance to part, Luo Fu stepped on the gas without hesitation and drove back to his new home.

Compared to the rental apartment he used to live in, the place he lives in now can be described as a luxury mansion.

Of course, the money still came from Xiaoqian.

Xiaoqian, who had been completely subdued by Luofu, was quite enjoying it.

As a demon who has lived for an unknown amount of time, Xiaoqian can truly be considered a wealthy woman with deep reserves. She has countless things that can be converted into cash, and just a few of them would be enough to make Luofu instantly financially free.

After returning home and giving Xiaoqian another hard time, Luo Fu received a call from Su Yue early the next morning, before he even got out of bed.

This guy had his yang energy drained by his female ghost wife for so long. Even though he knew he was going to die, he refused to be separated from his wife. Now, he has obtained a way from Luo Fu to truly stay with his wife forever, and has completely transformed into the most dutiful servant in Luo Fu's hands.

On my first day of work, I arrived even earlier than the boss, Luo Fu; my enthusiasm was off the charts.

Luo Fu was quite happy to see this happen. Although he had opened a consulting firm that specialized in handling paranormal events, Luo Fu's main purpose was to get involved in these paranormal events, rather than completely tie himself to the consulting firm.

With Su Yue's involvement, unless a real paranormal event occurs, Luo Fu can sell this company.

Luo Fu had no doubt about the abilities of Su Yue and his wife. Judging from the fact that they lived in a villa and that the wife could easily earn tens of thousands of yuan by designing a single garment, it was easy to tell that Su Yue and his wife were among the top few in the middle class.

Taking care of a newly opened consulting firm, especially one specializing in paranormal events, is no problem at all.

In the period that followed, the Su Yue couple truly lived up to Luofu's expectations.

In just a few days, the couple successfully opened their consulting firm, thanks to the network of contacts they had built up beforehand.

Surprisingly, the first order was from the ghost bridge.

Although Su Yue learned how to control spirits from Luo Fu, and even nurtured his wife Qingqing from a female ghost into a spirit, he now had no choice but to report to Luo Fu when faced with a real supernatural event that needed to be resolved.

On the one hand, when encountering an opponent, the spirit needs to take action, and as a good husband, Su Yue would never let Qingqing fight with others. On the other hand, this is also Luo Fu's requirement.

Although the Ghost Bridge is famous, Su Yue only informed Luo Fu after meeting the client and truly feeling the supernatural power emanating from him.

When Luo Fu arrived at the consulting firm, he immediately saw a woman covered in resentment and curses, holding a disposable paper cup, talking to Su Yue about something.

Upon seeing Luo Fu arrive, Su Yue immediately stood up and said, "Boss, this is our client this time, Ms. Zhao Xinqiao. Ms. Zhao previously... had business dealings with Qingqing. After hearing that we have changed careers, she came here specifically to consult us."

Nodding slightly, Luo Fu sized up Zhao Xinqiao and said, "Miss Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Forgive my bluntness, but judging from your appearance, I'm afraid you're not far from the outbreak of the curse, are you?"

The story of the "Ghost Bridge" is actually very simple: an innocent girl was robbed of her rice by five men while passing by the bridge in the school. They dumped her body in the river, and she died unjustly. Her resentment was so strong that it turned the entire bridge into a ghost town, and every four years it would go on a killing spree.

Zhao Xinqiao is the girl who survived the last four-year period.

As the four-year deadline approached, Zhao Xinqiao's resentment grew stronger, and she didn't have much time left.

During this time, Zhao Xinqiao must have thought of other ways, but unfortunately, it is clear that the resentment of the female ghost bridge is not so easy to resolve.

Zhao Xinqiao herself is on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that she happened to find a consulting firm in Luofu, Zhao Xinqiao would have willingly sought death after this test of courage, even if she had succeeded.

At this moment, Luo Fu could already feel a strong sense of death emanating from her.

Luo Fu's direct approach clearly shocked Zhao Xinqiao.

She stood up abruptly, not even noticing the water from the paper cup in her hand spilling on her.

“Master Luo… Master Luo, you must have a way, right?” Zhao Xinqiao looked at Luo Fu with a pleading expression.

Nodding affirmatively, Luo Fu said, "It seems you're ready for this test of courage."

Zhao Xinqiao suddenly broke down, squatted down abruptly, covered her face with her hands, and burst into tears.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, but I have no choice, I can't even die."

Seeing this, Su Yue sighed and thoughtfully handed Zhao Xinqiao two tissues.

After Zhao Xinqiao finished venting her emotions, Luo Fu said, "Since you have cooperated with Su Yue and the others before, I think we should have a basis for cooperation. I will personally help you solve the Ghost Bridge problem. As for other issues, you can discuss them with Su Yue tonight!"

Zhao Xinqiao was stunned and looked at Luo Fu in astonishment.

Luo Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise, "You don't mean the test of courage you arranged is tonight?"

With fear filling her eyes, Zhao Xinqiao nodded and said, "That's right, tonight."

"That's quite a coincidence," Luo Fu laughed.

In order to survive, Zhao Xinqiao has really gone all out.

He had absolutely no intention of bargaining with Su Yue and used almost all of his savings.

After all, in her opinion, if Luo Fu couldn't subdue that terrifying female ghost in this test of courage, then she would have no will to live.

Four years have passed, and the intense guilt has brought Zhao Xinqiao to the brink of collapse.

It could be said that her approaching the consulting firm, Luofu, was her last-ditch effort.

As night fell, at Donghu University, under the bridge where countless terrifying tales of a female ghost had been told for countless years.

Several young men and women gathered together, seemingly waiting for something.

Deceived by Zhao Xinqiao, they are about to become yet another offering to the ghost bridge, four years later. At this moment, these clear-headed yet foolish college students have no idea what they are about to face.

Zhao Xinqiao and Su Yue came to Luofu at East Lake University, but this time Su Yue and her husband were not with them.

Although Su Yue learned the art of summoning spirits and commanding generals from Luo Fu, at most he is now only cooperating with his wife Qingqing.

As for subduing the female ghost under the bridge by summoning spirits and commanding generals, with his half-baked skills of only a few days of cultivation, he simply couldn't do it, and might even encounter danger if he wasn't careful.

Of course, the more important reason was that Luo Fu wanted to figure out what exactly was going on with the ghost realm of the Ghost Bridge.

That's right, the female ghost who died tragically under the bridge possessed ghostly abilities.

Every four years, her demonic realm would expand, its reach potentially encompassing the entire East Lake University.

This is something Luo Fu deduced through his conversation with Zhao Xinqiao.

However, it seems that the female ghost had some limitations in this ghost realm.

After the Ghost Realm opens, it can indeed achieve all sorts of incredible effects, but under normal circumstances, it cannot affect other students.

Even after four years, people like Zhao Xinqiao, who were marked, still felt as if they were being watched by that female ghost all the time.

This is why Zhao Xinqiao couldn't even bring herself to die.

It's not that she can't die, but rather that her life and death are entirely in the hands of that female ghost. Even if she dies, her soul will become like the many other souls around that red-clothed female ghost, a kind of vengeful spirit.

At that point, Zhao Xinqiao would be in an even worse situation, worse off than if she were just a tool.

Together with Luo Fu, they arrived at the Ghost Bridge.

In the distance, I saw several college students setting up cameras, tripods, chairs, and other equipment.

Zhao Xinqiao suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Luo Fu glanced at the uneasy Zhao Xinqiao and said, "What? Are you worried that I'm no match for this female ghost?"

With a wry smile, Zhao Xinqiao said, "Master, I... is it really impossible for you to kill her directly?"

If one sets aside their curiosity about the ghostly bridge and the underworld, Luo Fu still has ways to forcibly exorcise the female ghost, or even kill her.

But Luo Fu is not some selfless good person.

His involvement in the Ghost Bridge was not for the purpose of slaying demons, but rather to use the female ghosts of the Ghost Bridge to help him localize the shared power.

From Xiaoqian, Luofu has discovered that contact with the extraordinary power of this world itself can help him accelerate the localization of shared power. This contact does not necessarily have to be like Xiaoqian's.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting further attention from the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld, Luo Fu would have been eager to join the 444 Convenience Store.

Unfortunately, even at convenience store number 444, there aren't all sorts of paranormal events every day.

Helping Zhao Xinqiao and the others was just the reason Luo Fu gave. His true purpose would never be known to anyone. At least until Luo Fu's strength reached the point where he could do whatever he wanted, he needed to conceal the truth about his contact with extraordinary powers, which would help localize the sharing of power.

Others may not know the source of Luo Fu's shared power, but Luo Fu has never dared to underestimate those old monsters who have lived for an unknown amount of time.

A simple mind doesn't necessarily mean one can't live a long life, but an old monster who has lived from ancient times to the present day would definitely not be simple-minded.

Even the slightest flaw could expose Luofu's unique nature, and without absolute power to protect oneself, exposing one's uniqueness is no different from courting death.

"Simply killing a female ghost isn't difficult for me, but are you sure?" Luo Fu looked at Zhao Xinqiao with a half-smile. "Don't forget, you still bear that female ghost's mark. This mark is deep within your bloodline and soul. I can't guarantee it can be completely removed. What if, during the exorcism, the female ghost detonates the mark on your body..."

Zhao Xinqiao's true awakening came after witnessing firsthand the tragic deaths of the college students she had tricked into attending the test of courage. Only then did she ultimately choose to die herself.

Because she knew that even if she escaped this time, she would still inevitably experience the same cycle again four years later, as she was being manipulated by the female ghost.

Compared to this hellish, endless torment, dying directly through this ritual would be a stroke of luck.

Right now, she doesn't have that awareness at all.

Having witnessed the deaths of the students she had tricked, Zhao Xinqiao's will to survive now far outweighs everything else.

When Luo Fu threatened her with her life, Zhao Xinqiao immediately gave in.

"Master, I will do whatever you say, but... but if possible, I hope you can let everyone live. They... they were deceived by me after all," Zhao Xinqiao pleaded.

It can only be said that although Zhao Xinqiao is not a good person in the conventional sense, she does have a conscience and is not the kind of person who would completely lose her mind in order to survive.

Nodding slightly, Luo Fu said, "I will do my best."

With Luo Fu's assurance, Zhao Xinqiao breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards the crowd that had been waiting under the bridge.

From a distance, I saw Zhao Xinqiao approaching with a stranger.

These college students, on the contrary, were not particularly wary; in fact, they were quite pleased with the outcome.

A test of courage is not a good thing. Even among the college students who were tricked into coming, most of them had some doubts. Having one more person would actually give them more confidence.

"Senior, why are you so late?"

Zhao Xinqiao, her face somewhat stiff, forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I ran into a friend on the way. It took a little time. Okay, let's begin."

Now, with her mind filled with the hope that Luo Fu could solve the problem of the female ghost bridge, Zhao Xinqiao got straight to the point, without any intention of pleasantries.

They even overlooked introducing the students to Luo Fu, which Luo Fu naturally didn't care about.

After all, in Luo Fu's eyes, these college students were at most just bait; after today, there would be no further contact between them.

"Huh? Starting now?" Li Wenyao, who was supposed to be the first one to hang up, asked in surprise, "Aren't we going to start the live stream first?"

Since it's a test of courage, then of course more people should be able to witness their bravery.

Before the ceremony even took place, they had already agreed to broadcast the entire test of courage live.

But now, Zhao Xinqiao, the one who organized the event, has suddenly changed everything that was originally agreed upon.

Actually, this was Zhao Xinqiao herself. Because of her great joy and surprise, after placing her hopes on Luofu, she subconsciously ignored the process she had discussed.
