After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 72: Ghost in the Back Mountain
Zhao Mumu shuddered. "So I was right? There's a murder here?"

Zhao Huoyan was about to call the criminal police team when Mr. Zhao suddenly said:

"Not necessarily. I think I heard from the older generation that before liberation, there was a big battle near here. We won it, and many Japanese soldiers died. They were just buried casually. I don't know if it was there."

"The Japanese are dead. Won't our underworld take them in?" Zhao Mumu asked Song Miaozhu.

Song Miaozhu shook her head. "I don't know either. I might have to ask the old ghost to find out! If it's a ghost that doesn't have a household registration in the underworld, it might be difficult to deal with it. Especially now that spiritual energy has revived, the power of ghosts in the world of the living has also become stronger."

"Let's go back to the city first and find someone to check whether this mountain was a mass grave for Japanese people in the past!" said Zhao Huoyan.

I couldn’t continue visiting the Summer Resort, so I went straight to the police station.

Captain Li of the Criminal Investigation Team was surprised to see them coming over: "Why are you here so early? It's not even noon yet!"

"Old Li, we have to stay in your police station for a while..." said Zhao Huoyan.

"No problem! The dorm you were staying in is still empty!" Captain Li said, "But why are you back again? Didn't they clear out the space at the Summer Resort?"

"Something happened in the Summer Resort." Zhao Huoyan said, "I'm going to come over here to investigate what happened in the back mountain! Master Song said that there's a lot of yin energy there!"

"Another ghost?" Captain Li exclaimed, "Is that boss from before going to kill someone in the villa?"

"Perhaps it's a mass grave of Japanese people from before the founding of the country." Zhao Huoyan said: "In any case, we need to investigate. It might be dangerous to go in directly."

Captain Li looked at Song Miaozhu and murmured, "If even Master Song feels it's dangerous, how many people must have died!"

Song Miaozhu: “…”

She was the only one present who had cultivated spiritual power, and anyone else who went in would only be a drag.

She just didn't want to rush in alone!

No matter how powerful the cane is, it cannot pull out the ghost in all directions without any blind spots.

"We will find someone to help you check the team's files. You take people to the municipal archives to look for the county annals. We will act separately!" said Captain Li.

"Okay!" Zhao Huoyan agreed.

Before leaving, he said to Zhao Mumu, "I'll leave one car for you. Take the old man and Master Song back to the hotel to rest."

After getting in the car, Zhao Mumu was still full of sighs: "Who would have thought that my brother and his friends would choose a haunted mountain as their neighbor! It's a good thing you went with us, Miaozhu, otherwise, the entire spiritual adjustment team would be in the hospital in a few days!"

"I have a feeling that with the revival of spiritual energy, the ghosts in the world of the living are becoming more and more active..." Song Miaozhu said: "I was shocked when I saw the yin energy on the mountain today! It was too strong in broad daylight!

But it's quite strange. Other people who live there are contaminated with a lot of negative energy, but when I first met your brother yesterday, he was clean.

Sister Mu Mu, didn't your brother live in the villa before? "

"He should be living there! After he received the order to come to Lingcheng, he started to get busy with the Spiritual Coordination Group's work! He even contacted me after settling in. He doesn't have a house in Lingcheng, so where else can he go if he doesn't live with other people?" Zhao Mumu said.

"That's strange." Song Miaozhu said.

*
It was not until the evening, when Song Miaozhu and the others were on their way to the criminal police team to take statements, that they received a call from Zhao Huoyan.

“It’s confirmed that the greatest victory in Lingcheng, in which more than 5,000 enemies were annihilated, was fought on that mountain!
For many years, there have been rumors of ghosts on that mountain.

The original owner of the Summer Resort was deceived by a local developer into buying the land. It prospered for a while, but then strange things happened in the resort, and the original owner got into trouble, and it became deserted overnight.

"Then don't go near that place recently." Song Miaozhu said, "Wait until I return to Yuanshan Ancient Town and ask the familiar ghosts underground if there is any way for the underworld to deal with foreign ghosts like this."

With her meager spiritual power, even with the vine, she couldn't deal with so many ghosts!

"The police department will cooperate with us in the blockade," Zhao Huoyan said. "But until a new office location is found, the Spiritual Adjustment Team will have to temporarily squeeze into the police department. Old man, I'm sorry to bother you staying in the hotel for a while."

"I think you should move to Yuanshan Town first! My woodcarving shop has a big space, so you can live there first."

Old Master Zhao said, "Those guys in the logistics team haven't practiced before, right? It's time for them to learn a skill! Come learn from me and become Mu Mu's apprentice!"

Zhao Mumu's eyes lit up when he heard about his junior brother: "That's great! That's great! Brother! Didn't you say you wanted to ask Master to guide the other members of the group? Why not just go to the woodcarving shop!"

Zhao Huoyan thought that the logistics team now had nothing to do except monitoring the network and looking for possible cultivators in Lingcheng. Instead of living here at the Criminal Police Team, he might as well learn wood carving from Mr. Zhao.

"Then I'll trouble you for a while! I'll ask for your credit when I report to the higher-ups!"

"It's not a big deal!" Old Master Zhao said, "But when it comes to asking for credit, don't go back on your word!"

"Master! Are you still a fan of officials?" Zhao Mumu asked in surprise.

"Honor! This is an honor!" Old Master Zhao puffed his beard and glared, causing Song Miaozhu and Zhao Mumu to laugh out loud.

When I arrived at the police station, I met Zhao Huoyan, and Captain Li was also there.

Song Miaozhu looked at E Hongjuan beside her and asked, "Did you call her out in advance?"

"She really came out?" Captain Li followed her gaze and looked to the side: "Is she here?"

Song Miaozhu nodded.

"You said you would ask her to come over in the evening. I just saw it was getting dark, so I went to the cold storage and called her. I didn't expect her to actually come!"

Captain Li said, "She can hear the sounds of the living from the underworld. Is there some reason why she has to shout at the corpse?"

"The corpse is the connection between the ghost and the world of the living. Once the corpse is gone, this connection is broken. The ghost can only come to the world of the living when the gates of hell open," said Song Miaozhu.

"So that's how it is!" Captain Li said, "During the Ghost Festival, wouldn't there be ghosts everywhere?"

Song Miaozhu shook her head: "I haven't seen it either."

When entering the interrogation room to take a statement, the police even reserved a chair for E Hongjuan.

There was an incense burner on the chair and a brazier under the chair.

"Your police station is quite humane!" said Mr. Zhao.

"This isn't the first time we've handled a case involving both yin and yang, so it's better to be more thoughtful!" Captain Li said.

"This isn't how 'Yin and Yang Combination' is used!" Zhao Mumu wondered.
