Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Gui Naifen's eyes widened:

"We...we didn't mention Qingni to you!"

She had promised Qingni not to let his mother know that she was investigating the Ghost Starship.

Now that Yu Kong has said this, Gui Naifen certainly can't directly admit it.

"Hmm... But what can a daughter hide from her mother?"

Yu Kong seemed to see through everything, and said to Huo Huo:

“Miss Judge, Suiyang has been subdued, so I think... your mission should be considered complete.”

"Lord Yu Kong..." Huo Huo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yu Kong.

Chapter 523 True or False

"Please allow me to stay here quietly for a while."

At this point, the four members of the ghost-hunting team wisely retreated.

Since Fox Sleep Tomb was located in Suiyuan, it seemed like a very convenient route for the group to return to their base.

Throughout the journey, Yan chatted with March 7th on his phone.

Clearly, he sent the footage of the ghost to March 7th.

“Mr. Yan Huan, why aren’t you saying anything?” Huo Huo patted his sleeve.

Since bidding farewell to Yu Kong, Yan Huan seems to have become much quieter, only occasionally taking out her phone to reply to March 7th's message.

Upon hearing Huo Huo's question, Yan Huan sighed:

"Actually, I don't really want to seal away the celestial bodies that make up the Ghost Starship."

"Leaving them on the Immortal Ship will at least give those who have lost their friends something to remember them by, won't it?"

“Mr. Yan Huan, you can’t say that,” Huo Huo explained.

"Not everyone can understand, like Lord Yukong, that they should move forward."

"Prolonged exposure to the sun will drain your energy..."

"I've spent so much time with Tail, and it's all thanks to Tail's special care and Lord Raven's seal that I'm alright..."

"But it's a different story when other people come into contact with Suiyang."

Huo Huo said with great sympathy:

"Some things, once lost, can never be regained... while some people become addicted to the illusory emotions brought about by the passing years."

That would be far too dangerous.

After hearing Huo Huo's explanation, Yan Huan suddenly realized:

"Damn, how could I forget about that?"

Because these Suiyang were far too weak for Yan Huan, he forgot that contact with Suiyang would drain the energy of mortals.

Even if Suiyang itself has no ill intentions, it doesn't change the fact that ordinary people who come into contact with Suiyang will have their death accelerated.

"Then for their sake, we still have to seal these sages away."

However, there are always exceptions.

If you're strong enough... even if you spend all your time with Suiyang, you should be able to escape unscathed.

……

after one day.

Inside the Suiyuan base.

Gui Naifen pointed to a post and said to Yan Huan:

"Great! What you and Huo Huo were talking about yesterday has come true for you two today!"

"?"

Yan Huan took the phone with a puzzled look and started looking at it with Huo Huo.

"What did Huo Huo and I talk about yesterday?"

Huo Huo reminded her:

"Yes... even if Suiyang has no ill intentions, if he stays around ordinary people, it will cause irreversible damage."

"Oh I got it."

"Which lucky person encountered such a celestial event?"

Yan Huan looked at the post.

The headline reads, "My neighbor's deceased wife seems to have come home."

[#GhostStories#]

My neighbor is a fox spirit named Wen Yuan. We neighbors usually help each other out.

[But in the last few days, Wen Yuan hasn't been going out much during the day.]

When I saw him that evening, I asked him what he'd been up to lately. He said his wife was back... and he was planning to take her to Jinren Alley for a stroll?

[But didn't his wife, Ruoxi, die in the line of duty thirty years ago? And he hasn't looked well these past few days; could he be possessed by a ghost?]

"Have you checked the link? What do you think?" Gui Naifen leaned closer.

Yan Huan thought:

"So, it was Suiyang who transformed into his wife, who had been dead for over thirty years, and stole his soul?"

I remember when Yanqing was affected by Suiyang, that Suiyang was also able to transform into a body exactly like Yanqing's.

So it's quite possible that Suiyang became that person's wife.

Huo Huo said to the group:

“Some shamans will exploit the victims’ deepest desires to create all sorts of illusions.”

"By torturing the other person, draining their emotions and desires... the victim is in great danger."

Gui Naifen, hands on her hips, announced:

"I understand, Ghostbusters, let's go!"

"I contacted the person who posted this message privately, and he sent me an address!"

"Does anyone want to go and investigate first?"

Gui Naifen then solemnly said:

"This is their private matter. Maybe he's found a new girlfriend who looks a lot like his ex-wife. We should find out more first."

"I come!"

Yan Huan immediately raised her hand:

"I love watching gossip, so let me check if this thing is real or fake!"

"Hmm..." Huo Huo also looked at Yan Huan, hoping, "We'll go over after we finish what we're doing. We'll have to trouble Mr. Yan Huan for now."

……

Soon, Yan Huan arrived at Jinren Alley.

It was evening, and the place was brightly lit.

"Friend, are you [not fond of sleeping]?" Yan Huan asked a stranger mysteriously in the alley.

"Uh...yes, well...I just [don't like sleeping]."

The stranger said awkwardly:

"You're the one Xiao Guizi sent, right? I thought I'd get to meet her in person."

"Here's the thing, my neighbor is a solitary fox-person named Wen Yuan."

"Wen Yuan is an introverted person who prefers to be alone and rarely talks to others."

"But recently, we've been hearing laughter and conversation coming from their house every night."

"This guy has suddenly become all smiles."

“Once… I bumped into him at the market and asked him about it. He then told me that his wife, Ruoxi, whom he hadn’t seen for over thirty years, had returned from abroad…”

Yan Huan nodded slightly:

"These are all things you mentioned in your posts."

"correct."

The stranger shrugged and said:

"But that's the problem. His wife passed away thirty years ago. How could he have come back from abroad?"

"When they got married, I, as their neighbor, personally attended to offer my congratulations."

"It's a pity that these two didn't have long enough to be happy. I wonder if you've heard of the Fanghu Immortal Boat Battle thirty years ago..."

"Ms. Ruoxi sacrificed her life in that battle."

"But now, she's actually back?"

"???"

The stranger looked on incredulously:

"I don't really believe in ghosts or gods, and I certainly don't believe in the dead coming back to life..."

"I posted such a sensational post because I really didn't know who to ask for help."

Yan Huan thought:

"Is it possible that the woman named Ruoxi is actually still alive?"
