Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 112 Will Be Completely Eaten

The ghost girl in the jar's answer was filled with disillusioned and world-weary numbness.

After her human rationality took over again, she actually wanted to die completely...

Ran Qing was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Killing you would naturally be of great benefit to me, and it would be easy for me to kill you."

The normal procedure after catching a ghost is to soak the evil ghost in wine to dispel its resentment, and then put it into a jar to refine the ghost.

"But your resentment is so deep, and your revenge has not yet been taken. Don't you want to kill the culprit who killed your entire family?" Ran Qing asked.

He felt a little sympathy for this poor and miserable female ghost.

But the female ghost in the jar sneered.

"The culprit who killed my entire family? It wasn't someone else who killed them, it was themselves!"

"Two weak, useless, worthless men and a vicious, mean old woman."

"If I kill them, I will have avenged myself!"

The ghost girl's voice was filled with strong resentment.

The jar tied with a red rope suddenly began to shake violently again, and it took a long time for it to calm down again.

Ran Qing looked at the commotion with mixed feelings.

For the ghost girl in the jar, being brutally murdered by her mother-in-law was one thing, but even her trusted husband betrayed her. While she was still alive, he listened to the instigation of others and threw her into the river to drown her...

Ran Qing sighed and said, "If you insist, I will let you rest in peace once you answer my questions."

"How much do you know about that copper coin?"

From the jar came the dull and wooden voice of the female ghost.

"That copper coin is very strange. It seems like a living thing, growing bigger day by day in the well."

"And it keeps tempting me to eat it."

"But the weirdest thing is, after the copper coin was in the well, I often saw some strange things swimming around in the city."

"I don't know what it is, but it's scary when I see it."

"Fortunately, they can't get into the well. I've lived in peace with those creatures for the past two years."

"But some people in this city also have that kind of thing on their backs."

"A Taoist priest and a wet nurse came here before, and they both had those things on their backs. But they didn't seem to know."

"They came in to get rid of me, but they were stupid, not as cunning as you, so I tore them into pieces and ate them."

The female ghost in the jar spoke eerie and terrifying words, which made Ran Qing feel cold in his heart.

The female ghost can see strange things wandering around the city... Could it be...

"What do those strange things you mentioned look like?"

"Is it a very tall, thin monster with very long arms and legs?"

Ran Qing described the monster he saw last night.

The female ghost in the jar made a surprised sound: "Huh? You know?"

"There really is such a thing. It's lying on your back. Can you see it?"

The ghost girl whispered in surprise.

Ran Qing's scalp went numb when he heard this, and the hairs all over his body instantly stood up.

"...On my back?!"

He jumped up and touched his back.

But there was nothing on his back.

The female ghost in the jar sneered: "It seems you don't know... Don't touch it. Since you can't see it, you can't touch it."

"Oh, it seems to understand what we say, and it's gone."

The female ghost sneered: "It seems that you, a bunch of ghost walkers who cheat and harm people, are not something that can be offended by any ghost. You don't even know that there is something lying on your back... Haha..."

The ghost girl's laughter was eerie and shrill, filled with a strong sense of gloating.

Ran Qing's face darkened. It was hard to tell whether this ghost girl's words were true or false.

But if he really had something on his back... could it be that the two people from the Xuanmen sect who had wanted to go to the field to kill the ghost but were killed were also facing the same dilemma as Ran Qing?

Being targeted by some invisible evil spirit?

Then they go to the field... and collect these ancient bronze coins, which may really be a way to save themselves!
Ran Qing said expressionlessly, "What do those monsters look like? You said that if you can't see them, you can't touch them... Does that mean that only those who can see them can touch them?"

The female ghost in the jar sneered, "I don't know about that. I'm just guessing."

"By the way, I saw an old woman before, she must be a ghost walker as well."

"That old woman is clearly dead, but somehow she's still alive."

"She had four or five of those things lying and hanging on her body, and she ran around my well several times."

"Oh, by the way, the last time I saw her in the Wujiang Ghost Realm, there was someone following her...that person looked a bit like you..."

The female ghost in the jar laughed sinisterly: "What? You're the only one left now... Is that old woman finally dead?"

These powerful evil spirits all have their tombs in the Wujiang ghost world.

Similar to Ran Qing's Yintan.

Their tombs exist in both the world of the living and the world of the dead, so their wells and courtyards can be seen in the ghost world of Wujiang.

Now the female ghost recognized Ran Qing and let out a strange, sarcastic laugh.

Ran Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "You don't need to disgust me with such words. I said I would help you get rid of it, and I will never break my promise."

"But if you say something disgusting to me again, I'll stuff you into a paper figurine and make you live like a half-human, half-ghost, unable to die even if you want to."

Ran Qing didn't get angry or mad, but his cold words were even more creepy.

The female ghost in the jar suddenly spoke.

"...I was wrong. Please forgive me once."

The female ghost, whose voice was originally very eerie and harsh, suddenly became softer, like a normal person.

Ran Qing said nothing, looking at the jar tied with red rope, his expression extremely complicated.

Aunt Liu’s death was indeed related to those invisible evil spirits.

And Sixth Aunt is even more miserable than him, with four or five evil spirits hanging on her body?
The ghost girl's answer provided Ran Qing with a lot of new information.

Aunt Liu’s death was indeed related to evil spirits.

And now, the only one who came to harm him was an evil spirit.

It seems that there really is a monster in Yuezhao City that no one in the Xuanmen or the underworld can see, and it is killing these special people who make money through unconventional means...

Ran Qing frowned and thought.

Mo Li's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"...Except for those in the Xuanmen sect, wouldn't that kind of monster appear on ordinary people?"

The door of the main room was pushed open and Mo Li walked in.

Ran Qing did not deliberately lower his voice when communicating with the female ghost.

The girl sitting at the door reading a comic book could naturally hear the conversation inside the house.

Hearing another voice, the female ghost in the jar hesitated.

"This one……"

Ran Qing said: "Answer her question."

The ghost girl in the jar was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't know. I can't tell whether the person carrying the monster is someone like you or an ordinary person."

"It's just that a few ordinary people in the field were indeed harmed by those monsters."

"And after those people died, except for me, everyone else in the field seemed to have forgotten them."

"There were no funerals or banquets, and the families of those people weren't sad at all. No one in the village mentioned them anymore, as if they had never existed in the first place."
