Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 134 Why Do You Hate Me
Ran Qing's cold and calm voice told a very terrifying and strange story.

These few simple sentences contain a huge amount of information.

The man who had just been mocking and provoking his son now had his eyes wide open and looked a little dizzy.

"...Wait, let me sort them out one by one."

Seeing that Ran Qing was about to speak, the man quickly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Please take care of the patient. I am old and my brain is not as flexible as you young people."

"You said so much at once, I feel dizzy."

After stopping his son who wanted to continue speaking, the man thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke word by word.

"Is there an invisible monster in Yuezhao City right now that's killing people like us who are doing illegal things?"

"Your master was killed by that kind of monster?"

"A few days ago, Meng Laoqi was also killed?"

"And now, that monster is targeting you?"

"Or maybe it's the same monster that killed you, but not the same one?"

"No one can see this kind of monster. Only after you get this kind of copper coin can you see it?"

The man said this in confusion, and saw Ran Qing nod.

He continued, "You got a copper coin from somewhere, and after you picked it up, you saw that strange evil spirit."

"After I picked up the second one last night, I not only saw the evil spirit, but also your mother?"

"She's right next to you, and she's talking to you?!"

"Just last night?"

The man subconsciously reached out and grabbed the two copper coins.

Then he looked at Ran Qing nervously and said, "Where's your mother? Where is your mother?"

The man looked Ran Qing up and down, and when he saw that there was no one around Ran Qing whom he wanted to see, he quickly looked around.

The eagerness and anticipation were evident on his face.

But the man looked around anxiously and expectantly, but saw nothing.

"Why can't I see it?" The man stared at Ran Qing and said, "Are you sure this copper coin can really see your mother? Are you lying to me?"

Unlike his indifference and disgust towards Ran Qing, this man is full of affection for his deceased wife, Ran Qing's mother.

Now I hear that I can see my deceased wife, and that she can still speak and communicate.

He even forgot to doubt whether such an outrageous thing was possible, nor did he care about the terrifying monster that killed people. He just snatched the copper coins and was eager to see his wife again.

In the early morning sunshine, Ran Qing looked at the anxious and irritable man with a complicated expression and snatched the two copper coins back.

"I told you, I only saw my mother after the monster arrived, and only for a moment."

"Now I can't see it anymore."

Ran Qing said coldly, "I came here this time to ask you, how did my mother die?"

"Why can't she rest in peace even after so many years of death?"

"It's one thing for her to have her body appear beside me, but now even her soul is beside me... Was she really dead back then?"

Ran Qing stared at the man in front of him and said, "If someone wanted to harm her, why would he put her on me?"

“Who would do that?”

The Ran family has been refining corpses for generations, which has earned them many enemies.

It wouldn't be particularly strange if an enemy came to Zangke to seek revenge. I had previously suspected that my mother might have been murdered by an enemy.

But Ran Qing now felt that this might not have been done by an enemy, at least not for revenge. If revenge was the goal, they could have just killed him, a descendant of the Ran family. Why would they have gone to such great lengths to place his deceased mother's body on him? His mother's body had even protected him once in danger...

Ran Qing smelled something strange.

The death of my mother and the truth behind it are definitely not just a matter of revenge. There must be other secrets hidden.

And the man in front of me definitely knows something.

After all, he personally presided over the burial of Ran Qing's mother and even chose the grave.

When he heard Ran Qing's mother's body appear on the phone, he was not too surprised.

Compared to Ran Qing who knew nothing about the past, Ran Jianfei, an eyewitness of the incident, must know something.

In the early morning sunshine, the father and son looked at each other.

A pale but still handsome young man, and a middle-aged man with sagging and dull skin on his face but still handsome.

These two father and son, who have completely different temperaments but similar appearances, have not looked at each other like this for many years.

The middle-aged man stroked his stubble, lowered his eyelids, and said, "What you said is indeed very mysterious and strange. I want to know too."

"But are you sure you didn't fall asleep or dream last night?"

After the middle-aged man calmed down, he began to doubt and question: "Even if your mother's soul is in you, she has been dead for so many years. How could she still speak?"

"You are also a ghost walker yourself. It seems that you have caught ghosts and dealt with evil spirits before."

"You should know that the dead things born from a person's body after death are not the living people they once were. They won't talk to you, nor will they have any feelings for you."

"Even if the dead come back to find you, they will only want to kill you and harm you."

The middle-aged man said, "I think you must be dreaming. Even if it's not a dream, the person you saw was not your mother."

"Take your copper coin back with you and look carefully before you go to sleep tonight to see if she is your mother."

"Maybe it's another monster you mistook for, or maybe it's a new monster disguised as your mother."

The middle-aged man said, “When you get your first copper coin, you’ll see a new monster.”

"Got my second copper coin last night and saw my second new monster...it makes sense. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"It can't be your mother."

As the middle-aged man spoke, his tone gradually became firm, and he even wanted to drive Ran Qing away.

But his perfunctory attitude clearly showed that he was talking nonsense.

The guilt he felt by lowering his eyelids and not daring to look into Ran Qing's eyes, as well as his sudden change of attitude to chase people away, all exposed his abnormality.

Ran Qing stared at him expressionlessly and said, "Even if that wasn't my mother and I was dreaming, you still have to tell me what happened back then."

"How did my mother die ten years ago?"

Ran Qing's voice was not loud and his tone was calm.

But within this calmness, there seemed to be a flame that could erupt at any time: "This is my right to know!"

The man glanced at his son and said, "Your mother died of an accidental illness. Isn't that known to everyone? You were by her bedside at the time and saw her die after returning from the clinic... What? Have you forgotten?"

When talking about his wife's death, the man's expression became cold again, and he was full of impatience towards Ran Qing, trying to end the topic.

But this time, Ran Qing didn't want to be fooled again.

He stared at the middle-aged man expressionlessly and said, "If my mother died of illness, why did you leave?"

"Besides, why do you hate me?"

"What on earth happened back then?!"
