Aoba Office

The four of us fell silent. The whole house became quiet as a result.

Once it quieted down, the sound of footsteps returned.

Downstairs, upstairs, and even around us there were footsteps from invisible people.

Such footsteps were completely irregular. I tried to match the footsteps with Mrs. Winter's yin energy, or with the Reina couple I saw in the dream, but I couldn't do it.

My first assumption was probably correct. This sound was not made by Mrs. Winter, but by Han Yun and his little devils.

Crunch - crunch -

There was some movement downstairs, not footsteps, but it sounded like something was pressing down on the wooden floor.

Mrs. Winter's evil energy gathered downstairs.

"Let's go." Wu Ling said.

Liu Miao went downstairs first.

There was no point in stepping lightly, so Liu Miao rushed downstairs and jumped over the last two steps.

The direction the sound came from was in the small living room. The sound didn't stop at this moment.

We arrived shortly afterwards.

I looked past Liu Miao's back, standing on the stairs, and saw the scene in the small living room.

Several chairs were pulled out, and there were teapots, cups, and a plate of snacks on the table. The scene was like returning to the time when Mrs. Winter entertained us. It's just that we were entertained in the large living room before and have never sat here.

There is a rocking chair in the small living room. Now, it was the same rocking chair that was making the sound.

Crunch - crunch -

The rocking chair rocked back and forth, pressing against the wooden floor. The sound it made was very rhythmic, like a lullaby.

Mrs. Winter was not in the rocking chair.

The place where the Yin Qi gathers is the closet on the side.

There was a soft click, and the glass door of the closet was opened.

The ghost of Mrs. Winter can be seen in the reflection of the glass.

A porcelain jar floated out from the closet, made its way to the small table, and was placed on it.

Mrs. Winter's ghost also lingers there.

After the porcelain jar was opened, a ring floated out of it, suspended in the air, as if it was held between fingers and held up to the eyes.

"Mrs. Winter." Wu Ling called.

Mrs. Winter's ghost appeared, holding up the ring. She looked at us sideways with cold eyes. She was no longer the kind and peaceful old lady.

"I was killed..." Mrs. Winter whispered, "I was killed by them... I know what they are looking for..."

Mrs. Winter held up her left hand. They were the hands of an old man, thin and wrinkled.

"They took my ring. They took my wedding ring. My husband's, they didn't find it... They didn't know, I put the ring in his urn."

Mrs. Winter lowered her head and rubbed the ring in her hand.

I listened silently to Mrs. Winter's story.

"I died... I was killed by them... I was robbed of the ring... They deserved to die... They deserved to die..." Mrs. Winter murmured.

Liu Miao sighed: "Did you kill them?"

I looked at Liu Miao in surprise.

Mrs. Winter still lowered her head and kept repeating those words.

"I can see clearly now. Are those behind you their ghosts? Rena's soul. And..." Liu Miao walked towards Mrs. Winter.

"...I can't find it...the ring, I can't find it..." Mrs. Winter raised her head.

Liu Miao reached out and grabbed Mrs. Winter's neck.

I saw a pair of hands emerging from the void behind Mrs. Winter. The hands also climbed up to Mrs. Winter's neck, but they kept moving up, covering Mrs. Winter's eyes.

Mrs. Winter opened her mouth and still held the ring in one hand.

I can't bear it, but I also know that this may be the best solution.

Mrs. Winter's ghost is unstable and there is something wrong with her memory. She probably couldn't remember anything about her own death or Rena's death. Now that I was stimulated and thought about it, my mind fell into chaos.

The hand covered Mrs. Winter's eyes, then moved so that the other hand covered Mrs. Winter's mouth and nose.

Rena wanted to smother Mrs. Winter, just as he had done in life.

I moved a little and took a step forward.

Mrs. Winter whimpered, and began to struggle as if out of fear.

She let go and the ring dropped and rolled on the ground.

The sound was crisp and clear, coming from Mrs. Winter's sobs.

Mrs. Winter reached forward, not to catch Liu Miao, but to look for something.

Guo Yujie bent down and picked up the ring on the ground, stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Winter's hand, and put the ring into Mrs. Winter's palm.

The hand immediately clenched into a fist, and the veins on the hand protruded.

I suddenly felt Han Yun's yin energy.

Han Yun's figure has appeared next to Mrs. Winter, floating on her left side. Han Yun raised his hand, and a light flashed in his hand.

I only blinked and saw an extra ring on Mrs. Winter's left ring finger.

Mrs. Winter's struggling immediately ceased.

"Lin Qi!" Liu Miao shouted.

Wu Ling beside me also pushed me.

I rushed forward, still a little confused, and saw Mrs. Winter's ghost being dragged into the void by hands there.

Liu Miao strangled Mrs. Winter's neck with one hand, and grabbed Mrs. Winter's arm with the other hand.

I understood something immediately and stretched out my hand, but the target was the hands stretching out from the void.

My ability was activated, and a wailing sound immediately sounded in the void.

I can feel the changes in the ghosts beneath me.

Mrs. Winter lowered her hands, and suddenly they disappeared, leaving not even a trace of negative energy behind.

Liu Miao suddenly lost his balance and took a step forward before steadying himself.

And I suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground. I still grabbed the ghost in my hand and pulled him out of the void.

That face, as expected, was Rena's face.

He panicked and was dragged into this strange space by me. He kept screaming in pain and howling miserably, like a madman.

Wu Ling appeared next to me and put one hand on Rena's head.

I saw something flash under her palm, and Rena's howling stopped.

He was shivering and wanted to curl up, but he didn't dare to move.

"What's going on?" Guo Yujie asked blankly.

"He's always there? Has he always been a ghost?" I also have questions.

I was still holding Rena, so naturally I could feel that his soul was very strange.

This is strange...

My consciousness suddenly fell into a trance, and I saw a prison.

In prison, Rena was lying on the bed like a shrimp, holding his head. He faced the wall and muttered something. The prisoner on the upper bunk smashed things impatiently and cursed. Rena trembled, but did not stop his annoying behavior. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to escape from something.

I looked at the center of the cell, right next to Rena's bed, where Mrs. Winter's ghost was floating there expressionlessly.
