Chapter 56 Death List
"If it really is Yue Na, and she only turned into a vengeful ghost to take revenge a year after her death, then the situation becomes complicated."

Chen Guokun seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, or perhaps explaining something to Chen Miao.

"Generally speaking, ghosts and spirits are formed within a period of time after a person dies, most commonly in the first seven days, and only under strict conditions after that."

"As far as I know, there are only a few possibilities regarding the possibility that a soul may continue to exist for a year after death."

"Firstly, after Yue Na died, she had no resentment. Her obsession eventually attached itself to some object and became filth."

"Secondly, after Yue Na died, she was buried in a special feng shui arrangement, which suppressed or trapped the vengeful ghost that Yue Na had transformed into."

Thirdly, after Yue Na died, her soul was refined and was used by others.

Which one will it be?

Chen Guokun muttered to himself.

Neither Chen Miao nor Tong Yu disturbed Chen Guokun.

"The first possibility is impossible, because once filth is formed, it is essentially equivalent to another species. Even if the filth is used by someone you once hated, it will not turn back into a vengeful ghost."

"Both the second and third possibilities are very likely, but I prefer the second one."

"The people Yue Na killed were all people who had indirectly caused her death. If they were being driven by someone, their master would not be willing to help Yue Na take revenge."

"Most importantly, how did its owner know who Yue Na resented?"

"Therefore, the third scenario is incorrect."

"As for the second possibility, which I think is the most likely, perhaps Yue Na was trapped in a feng shui formation after her death, and remained trapped until recently. The feng shui formation was disrupted for some reason, allowing Yue Na to escape."

"That explains why Yue Na only returned for revenge a year after her death!"

Chen Guokun's reasoning opened Chen Miao's eyes.

Even if Chen Miao activated his Ice Heart state, he couldn't possibly deduce these situations.

It's not that he's less intelligent than Chen Guokun, but rather that he lacks basic common sense.

Without the relevant knowledge, Chen Miao naturally couldn't deduce the result he wanted.

Sure enough, you can learn something from being around these two!
After establishing a relationship with Chen Guokun, Chen Miao decided to learn more about the basics of this subject from them.

This is entirely beneficial to him.

Do you think my deduction has any omissions?

Chen Guokun looked up at Chen Miao and Tong Yu.

After thinking for a moment, Tong Yu said, "Regarding the third scenario, what if the person raising the ghost is her closest person? And the ghost was created to avenge Yue Na? Does this scenario also exist?"

Chen Guokun thought for a moment and shook his head.

“What you say makes sense, but the problem is that this thing precisely killed the surgeon, the nurse, and the salesperson. Only Yue Na knows these details best. Even if someone close to Yue Na had poisoned her, they wouldn’t have been able to retaliate so precisely!”

"Unless Yue Na tells that person the whole process after her plastic surgery, but no normal person would do that."

"Most importantly, Yue Na is an orphan and doesn't have a boyfriend."

Tong Yu nodded upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Chen Miao thought of something.

"If it really is Yue Na's vengeful ghost coming to claim lives, will she continue killing? If so, who will she kill?"

Chen Guokun picked up the tablet and tapped on it for a long time.

"The surgeon, nurses, and salesperson were ultimately just executors. If we're really going to hold someone accountable, it should be him!"

Chen Miao looked at the middle-aged man on the tablet, who was wearing a white coat, glasses, and had his arms crossed. He had fair skin.

Below is an introduction to it.

Han Chen, the owner of Future Medical Aesthetics Center, studied at Peninsula University in South Korea and learned from South Korean medical aesthetics experts for two years. After returning to China, he opened a medical aesthetics center in a first-tier city, which ended in failure.

After a year of searching, they found a new path and opened a medical aesthetics center in a county-level city, which proved successful.

This is the seventh cosmetic surgery center in Longtang Town!

"The owner of the cosmetic surgery center? But he shouldn't be in Longtang Town, right?"

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he looked at Chen Guokun and asked, "Brother Kun, is there a distance limit to when a vengeful ghost seeks a life?"

Chen Miao thought of the ghost movies he had seen on TV. No matter where you go, you can't avoid seeing the ghost's fate in the mirror. "Yes, ordinary ghosts can't stray too far from their original form. The ghosts in Longtang Town, before they become fierce evil spirits that can appear in the daytime, can basically only move within the area of ​​Longtang Town."

"Some special vengeful ghosts cannot even step out of the room."

Upon hearing this, Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he heard a new word.

"A malevolent spirit?"

"It's a special form of vengeful ghost. You can think of it simply as an enhanced version of a vengeful ghost. It can appear briefly during the day. We'll deal with it when the opportunity arises. If it really appears, it's beyond our ability to handle."

Chen Miao nodded, then asked, "What will Yue Na do if Han Chen isn't in Longtang Town?"

"If Yue Na has no other targets of resentment, she will start killing randomly. If no one stops her, she will keep killing until she becomes an unrestrained ghost, and then she will go looking for the targets she left behind."

Chen Miao's face darkened.

So, is there really no escaping it?
It seems that if I encounter such things in the future, I will try my best to perform a clean ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

"Tong Yu, ask someone in the technical department to see where Han Chen is."

Chen Guokun said.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yu began operating the device, while Chen Guokun continued flipping through the tablet.

"Brother Kun, we found out. Han Chen is overseas."

"Okay, I got it. Take a look at these next. These are the people I think could be the next targets."

Chen Miao leaned closer.

"There are three people in total. One is the person in charge of this store, the store manager Ding Ze. Another is the lawyer Wang Yating, who drafted Yue Na's contract. The last one is the store's operations staff, who is the person who released the before-and-after photos and articles about Yue Na."

"These three people have a high probability of becoming the next target."

Chen Miao looked at the three people and seemed to have guessed Chen Guokun's thoughts.

Sure enough, Chen Guokun then said to the two of them:
“Tong Yu, Chen Miao, what I mean is… after nightfall, the three of us will each take care of one to prevent that thing from killing again.”

"If we let her continue killing, even if we find her later, we might not be her match."

"Chen Miao, what do you think?"

Chen Guokun was mainly looking at Chen Miao while he spoke.

At this moment, Chen Miao was puzzled: "Couldn't we just capture the three of them and put them together? Splitting the troops like this isn't a good idea, is it?"

Chen Miao was somewhat opposed. Wasn't the reason he came with them to have the ghosts exorcised under their protection?

This separation significantly increases the risk!

Besides, who hasn't seen a few horror movies? Splitting up the cast means some characters will have to leave the show!
Upon hearing this, Chen Guokun shook his head.

“That guy is very good at hiding. Tong Yu and I were in the same building as her before, and we only realized it after she had killed someone. By the time we got there, she was already gone.”

"If we put the three of them together, and she accidentally kills all three of them, then we'll be at a disadvantage."

"If this happens to turn her into a malevolent spirit, then we're not just setting a trap, we're digging our own grave."

Chen Guokun wasn't worried about arbitrarily arresting people and getting complaints; he was worried that the thing had transformed from a vengeful ghost into a malevolent spirit.

Regardless of how many people might die from the appearance of a malevolent spirit, the fact that malevolent spirits beyond Chen Guokun's control have formed within his jurisdiction is a dereliction of duty on his part.

This would render all his efforts over the years futile.

Chen Guokun didn't want this to happen.

Looking at Chen Miao, Chen Guokun reached out and took out something, handing it to him.

Chen Miao looked at the silver cube in Chen Guokun's hand, which had densely packed square holes and was about two centimeters on each side, and was somewhat puzzled.

"what is this?"

"Ghost Cube."
