Helian Wei Wei was puzzled. She tried harder to recall the old times, but she felt her dependence on Sakyamuni had disappeared. Instead, it was converted to this person before her, "I can't remember, did I become dumber?"
"No." Baili Jia Jue c.a.r.e.s.sed her cheek with his finger, he seemed to like listening to her talking about how she forgot her past. His immaculate features were smiling gracefully, "You just hatched from hell that time, of course you won't remember a lot of things."
Helian Wei Wei looked at him. After she shrunk, her facial expressions seemingly increased, "But I still remember clearly your cold expression and how you always ignored me when I threw buns for you."
"And, do you remember anything else about me?" Baili Jia Jue's low voice was filled with trickery.
Helian Wei Wei did not fall for his trick, she quickly noticed that her position on him was too ambiguous. Although her body features were not fully developed yet, Baili Jia Jue was different, his entire body was hot to the touch, "Nothing else. Where are the pen and paper you gave me just now? I want to copy scriptures."
"Now?" Baili Jia Jue furrowed his thick eyebrows. From what he knew, she was not this diligent.
Helian Wei Wei nodded, "Now, I need to grow back fast."
"Are you so scared of being seen by other people?" Baili Jia Jue hugged her from behind, buried himself in her long hair and grinned.
Helian Wei Wei glared at him blandly, "That is one of the reasons, but the most important thing is I can't sleep with you like this."
Baili Jia Jue paused before bursting out in laughter.
"You're right. With your current state, we can't sleep together." Baili Jia Jue put her down. He still enjoyed this feeling of full dependence right now, so he decided to keep her like this for a few more days.
The hesitation was only momentarily. Soon enough, Baili Jia Jue embraced Helian Wei Wei once again and looked at the computer screen from behind.
"There's business!" As soon as Helian Wei Wei saw a notification from her Taobao, she clicked into the page with a pretty mood. The other person in the chatting bubble sent a sentence while shaking in fear.
"Can you really catch ghosts? It seemed like she kept following me, never letting me go. I'm seriously about to go crazy, I have become not like my usual self because of this ghost. You know, I… I used to be a good person, I never planned to start a relationship with anybody, but when I woke up one day, I found myself lying next to a man. That man was quite old, he hugged me and talked a lot, something about how lovely I was the previous night. I remember falling asleep right after I entered my dorm. I didn't go anywhere, just why, why is this happening to me?"
Helian Wei Wei typed fast and was straight to the point, "Where are you? Send me your address and contact number. I need to meet you face-to-face, better at night."
Immediately, the other person sent an address, it was a restaurant near the junction of Fifth Street.
This address did not surprise Helian Wei Wei, since most university students in the capital gathered there.
After securing the information, Helian Wei Wei closed her laptop. She wanted to put on her shoes by herself, but unexpectedly, Baili Jia Jue placed her on the sofa and kneeled on one knee before her. Gently, he lifted her fair barefoot as he c.o.c.ked his handsome face to one side.
As if that was not enough, he even pulled her hand after putting on her shoes, kissed it and said, "My beautiful master, are you satisfied with my service?"
Helian Wei Wei went beet red, quickly threw herself into the man's arms and said with a raspy voice, "Let's go quickly. Don't try to seduce me, we can't sleep together."
"Yes, my master." Baili Jia Jue grinned cunningly as he kissed her tiny ears. He looked at her shiver with content before carrying the small person out.
The sky was completely black by now, Baili Jia Jue needed no disguise anymore. As his black feathers fell, he was already higher than the roof with Helian Wei Wei in his arms.
A demon's silhouette became even more perfect as the night darkened, especially when they spread their black wings in the moonlight and landed, they resembled a befallen divine.
Of course, it would not be seen by anyone.
The city was still bustling, especially when the junction of Fifth Street welcomed the night.
Many Koreans were at this place. Every one or two steps along the street, one would hear sentences with something like 'ao dao kai'.
Chapter 1032 - His Highness' Meticulous Breeding
Even the place Helian Wei Wei went to meet up with the girl was a restaurant owned by Koreans, it was called Myeong-dong. When they walked in, the lighting was dim, which was a peculiar sight in a popular place like this.
Because of this scenario, a smile appeared on Helian Wei Wei's face. She did not make a phone call, instead, her clear eyes were set on a girl with waist length hair after scanning the restaurant.
Helian Wei Wei had zero hesitation. Although she became smaller, the inherent queenly aura she had did not recede. Her currently adorable appearance would not hinder her agility.
"Miss Tao Zi?" Helian Wei Wei sat directly in front of the girl.
The girl looked like she was still in fear. Upon the sudden address, her instinct drove her to look directly at Baili Jia Jue who was beside Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei understood that it was hard not to notice His Highness with his handsome face, so she simply made up an identity for him, "This is my assistant, now please tell your story in detail, Miss Tao Zi."
"Your assistant?" Tao Zi pondered before looking at Helian Wei Wei, "You're the shop owner?"
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow and smiled, "Miss Tao Zi, don't worry. Although I'm small, I do my work well. Or else I won't just sit in front of you without even calling."
After Helian Wei Wei's reminder, Tao Zi realized this significant point. Her eyes widened, "How, how did you know it was me?"
"Easy." Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath, "I smell ghosts on you."
Helian Wei Wei's words made Tao Zi quiver, "She's still here now? Can you send her away then, I'm terrified, so terrified!"
"She's not here." Helian Wei Wei looked at her again, "Which school are you from? I suspect she's in your school."
Tao Zi's face changed hearing that, "Sc-school?"
"That's right." Helian Wei Wei looked at her with both her eyes, "And if we don't chase her away, you'll lose your consciousness within three days. You'll also lose ownership of your own body, simply put, it is the legendary possession. Since you're a university student, you should know what I mean."
Tao Zi's lips were trembling too, "She, she wants me to become her?"
"Something like that." Helian Wei Wei knew Miss Tao Zi refused to go to her school, so she did not ask her to relax like other people. Instead, she told her the truth.
The girl named Tao Zi seemed like she had no other ways, she held her forehead with one hand and stood up, "Fine, I'll take you to the school."
A school was always a mysterious place. In the day, it was busy and alive, no other places could be noisier than there. At night, however, it would be incredibly quiet, even the echoes of footsteps could be heard.
Nonetheless, it was not too late when Helian Wei Wei and the others arrived at the school, so the lights were still on. Occasionally, they could see students passing by on their bicycles and young couples going on a walk. All in all, the school seemed like a normal institute.
However, a faint aura of resentment was present in every corner of the campus. Helian Wei Wei only managed a few steps before Baili Jia Jue lifted her up onto his left shoulder.
If this was done by other people, it would look extremely weird.
Yet, having Baili Jia Jue's outstanding height and handsomeness, his beauty hit the highest point when he held Helian Wei Wei with one hand as his trench coat drifted in the wind.
Helian Wei Wei attracted the attention of surrounding people again, but luckily she was already used to this. She supported herself on
the man's shoulder and studied the buildings around her carefully.
Actually, if it was not to please his Little Phoenix, Baili Jia Jue would never agree to let her catch ghosts. Those filthy, foolish things were not at all worthy to touch her aura.
Helian Wei Wei also noticed the way somebody was keeping her. There seemed to be only one phrase to describe it, potent spoiling.
Having His Highness to take action, not only hostile ghosts, but even demons could be exterminated.
If this was the case, how could she complete her growing project?
Indeed, Baili Jia Jue was raising Helian Wei Wei meticulously. He would not even let her touch cold water. Today, her hair was washed by His Highness, even chores like wearing shoes were included.
Tao Zi watched the two from the side. After a long hesitation, she said to Baili Jia Jue, "You guys seem very close to each other."
Baili Jia Jue did not say anything. He only lifted a corner of his lips, looking evil but attractive.
Tao Zi was stunned.
Helian Wei Wei turned her head over, her small hand pointing at a nearby lecture building, "Did someone die there?"
At that split second, Tao Zi's expression changed!
Helian Wei Wei smiled before the other person spoke, "So someone did die there. I searched your school with my mobile phone on our way here, the webpage didn't say about anyone who committed suicide. Here comes the question, who's the dead person? Do you know?"
"I'm not sure either, maybe someone barricaded the information?" Tao Zi lowered her volume, "There are some things that I can't say too clearly. You know, schools often take some measures on these kinds of information. If everything gets leaked to the media, it will affect the school reputation as well."
Helian Wei Wei kept her mobile phone, "You're right, but I thought you would know. Since the dead person was your professor's wife."
As Helian Wei Wei spoke, Tao Zi shivered and asked very timidly, "So you're saying she's the one looking for me?"
"What do you think?" Helian Wei Wei did not answer, but questioned.
Tao Zi's expression did not give out much information. She only looked at Helian Wei Wei teary-eyed, "You must save me, you must deal with her."
"Of course." Helian Wei Wei answered professionally, "Our Taobao shop only does honest businesses, but you might have gotten something wrong, catching ghosts and helping people are different. I accepted your order just to catch ghosts only."
Tao Zi did not comprehend Helian Wei Wei's words completely, but as long as that female ghost could be captured, she would be safer somehow.
"Let's go," Helian Wei Wei looked at the moon which was not far away, "to the place with the strongest Qi of Yin, and wait for her to show up."
Tao Zi was afraid, "Must I go too?"
"If you don't go, she will possess you right at 12 a.m.." Helian Wei Wei said with a subtle tone.
Tao Zi covered her face, she seemed to be crying, "Why do these ghosts want to harm people even after death?"
Chapter 1033 - The Reason Of The Hostile Ghosts’ Existence
"Because they have the aura of resentment." Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and gave Taozi a glance, saying, "If the aura of resentment is strong enough, they can exchange the price of their reincarnation with a chance to exact revenge in the netherworld, even without swallowing evil spirits. Do you not know this?"
Taozi shook her head, as her expression grew darker. It was her first time hearing that one could do so in the netherworld.
Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly. "It's understandable that you don't know, since there aren't many hostile ghosts that are so stubborn."
Whilst saying, Helian Wei Wei tilted her face over and directly said to Baili Jiajue, "Are you leading the way?"
To demons, finding the place with the most aura of resentment was always a piece of cake. Moreover, the demon in question was Baili Jiajue.
Actually, there was a haunted laboratory in the school.
No supernatural events had happened in the laboratory before. However, it had not been used for too long and people rarely entered it. Hence, it was extremely dark, as even the scanty lights were constantly flickering.
When Helian Wei Wei and the group walked in, there were not many people around. Even when the counselor passed by, he simply looked at them suspiciously without stopping them.
The stairways of the laboratory were laid with porcelain tiles that showcased the vintage nostalgia from the 80s.
Nowadays, only some primary schools use this kind of tiling. Even universities would have shiny new floors, unlike this laboratory building. The paint on the walls had almost peeled completely, and there were no aluminum doors. Instead, the original wooden doors remained, worn and dilapidated. Even the metal locks hanging on it had completely rusted.
It seemed that the school restricted people from entering it for a reason.
Normally, buildings like this would acc.u.mulate an enormous amount of Qi of Yin, even if there were no impure beings. Furthermore, accidents such as loosened screws or electricity leakages might unexpectedly happen. If the students entered the place, their safety would be at tremendous risk.
However, before Helian Wei Wei came, she took some photos for Monkey to investigate. Nothing unusual occurred here although the laboratory building's Qi of Yin was thick and heavy. In fact, everything was quite peaceful.
Of course, some students had fallen and hurt themselves around the area before. However, these trivial things should be excluded. After all, people would usually have bad luck and trip when walking around a place with a strong Qi of Yin.
The whole building was sunken in a miasma of moldy stench, perhaps due to the long period of inactivity.
Helian Wei Wei deliberately looked down at the corner of the staircase, noticing that green mosses had already sprouted in some places.
Further down, there was the washroom. The haunting noise of dripping water eerily echoed across the entire floor, just like the ghostly sound that was used in the movie "A Wicked Ghost."
Taozi was terribly scared, as she tried to grab Baili Jiajue's sleeve with her fingers.
However, the man managed to dodge every time, coincidentally.
Taozi finally gave up, and glanced around anxiously. She feared that something frightening would appear beside her or from behind.
"Don't look around," Helian Wei Wei's voice rang again as she warned her, "Keep your eyes to the front. Since you can search for my shop on the internet, you must have some knowledge about this. When a person is walking at night, there are three embers of Yang Fire of Protection in one person. They are located on the left, right, and behind the person. Every time you glance at a ghost, you will put a fire out. When all three are extinguished, an evil demon will appear."
Surely, Taozi knew about this. She had no idea what this floor looked like in their eyes, but in hers, the lights were dim. Some shadow seemed to be moving before them, but she found nothing when she looked closer. Furthermore, someone had hung a shirt outside. When the cold wind blew, it appeared like someone was jumping down from the second floor.
Taozi's heart was gripped by intense fear, as the back of her hands and palms broke into a cold sweat. She did not dare to look down at all and merely shut her eyes tight, as she hurriedly followed their footsteps.
As they approached the washroom, the foul smell emanating from inside caused Baili Jiajue to frown in disgust.
Helian Wei Wei knew that he liked to be clean, so she immediately started reciting Buddhist chants, as her kassaya fluttered around her. Within seconds, all the impure creatures hiding on the first floor revealed themselves in their true form.
"Before coming in, I told you to never leave my sight." Helian Wei Wei stared at her with emotionless eyes, but her hands were packed with force.
Although still in a state of shock, Taozi realized those silhouettes were not coming toward them. Instead, they stood in front of them orderly and obediently, with some in the corners and some
in the middle of the corridor. All of their faces were pale green and expressionless, floating in mid-air like stringed puppets. They seemed extremely damp, as though they were freshly scooped out from the water.
"Why, why are there so many." Conversely, Taozi was the one that dragged Helian Wei Wei's arm now. Since the man refused to let her hold him, she could only cling onto the female shop owner.
Helian Wei Wei glanced at her once and uttered, "They were supposed to be reincarnated, but they were affected by someone's aura of resentment and became Chained Souls instead."
It looked like Taozi really did some research on this topic. When she heard about the Chained Souls, even her lips turned ashen white as she muttered, "It's that bad?"
"Do not look down on a woman, either living or dead." Helian Wei Wei looked at the Chained Souls and calmly asked, "Where is she?"
The Chained Souls were not equipped with language skills. They were chained because they had not met the reaper yet. Hence, most of them did not know they were already dead. All they could fixate upon was the reason why they could not leave this laboratory building.
Sometimes, people would hear mysterious noises echoing from upstairs. It was also because of the ghosts wandering around before the seventh day of death.
These Chained Souls were attracted by the aura of resentment to this laboratory building and had become a part of it.
The Chained Souls responded to Helian Wei Wei's words slowly, as all of them looked in the same direction…
The second floor!
The ghost is on the second floor!
Helian Wei Wei instantly understood their meanings and whispered, "Let's go upstairs."
"We're still going up?" Taozi shook her head nervously, her legs becoming limp in fear. "H-how about we go back, and come again in the morning?"
Chapter 1034 - God Was On My Side
Helian Wei Wei spoke unhurriedly, "Ghosts also have their daily routine and would be asleep during the day. How can I find the person if they're sleeping?"
