C162 accident

"If little sister were to open a restaurant, then all the restaurants in the capital would probably close." Fifth brother praised towards the north. Because it was a bit spicy, he kept pouring juice for himself.

"If you ask me, we are a family destined to be together. Look, we all have the same surname, Xiang." Fourth Brother also agreed.

I had always been curious about them before, I had thought that if I was Bai Jing from a human race to become their sworn brother, I would have to change my name at least to the same surname as Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, or else who would believe that I was their long-lost sister, but it just so happened that they both happened to be from the same surname, and since they came to the palace, the Old Prince was kind and did not let them change their names, thus they still used their previous names, I did not need to change their names. At the start, I felt that everything was too coincidental, like it was planned.

"That's right, Little Sister, Little Chen, the city hasn't been peaceful lately. You two better not go out at night, do you understand?" Fifth brother suddenly thought of something and told the two of us.

"Fifth brother, did something happen?" Seeing fifth brother's serious expression, the two of us couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

There have been a lot of murders in the capital recently. Moreover, the deaths are very strange, all the water in their bodies seemed to have been sucked dry, and they became desiccated corpses. Their deaths are miserable, and they haven't been solved yet. Fifth brother put down his bowl and chopsticks, his mind was preoccupied.

"So powerful, what kind of people are the dead?" I asked.

"It's strange that there isn't any connection between these dead people. First, there was a homeless beggar, then there was a drunk on the street, but they all died around midnight, and they all died in remote corners without leaving any traces behind."

I fell into deep thought. It didn't seem artificial to me, but it seemed so.

Everyone looked at me in astonishment. "Look at you, you're telling this to little sister, scaring her. Little sister, are you alright? Your fourth brother definitely won't let anyone hurt you." Fourth Brother thought that I was too shocked, so he comforted me.

I had almost forgotten that I was still a psychic envoy with a special ability. After saying that I had been out for such a long time, I started to feel a little strange, so I reckoned that my Spiritual Energy should have regressed. I touched my chest subconsciously, luckily, the Psychic Jade was still there and I had not used it since I came to this place.

According to fifth brother's speed, this case should not be man-made, after all, as long as it was man-made, there would be traces left behind. Moreover, these dead people all had such a weird way of dying, normal people wouldn't have such ability, there was only one explanation, which was that the perpetrator was not human.

It should be a wandering evil ghost, but logically speaking, if this evil ghost had already existed for a long time, it would not have started to commit such crimes. After all, I have never heard of such a thing since I arrived here, so this evil ghost should have just turned into a demon. Since it is a ghost, then it should be transformed from a corpse. Only then would the resentment condense, unable to rebirth, ghosts floating around the human world, everywhere harming people.

"Fifth brother, have there been any deaths in the capital recently?" Fifth brother, have there been any deaths in the capital recently? I asked.

In the end, everyone's gaze landed on me once again. They were all puzzled, and only Bai Jing was exploring, so I couldn't care less. Since I'm still a psychic envoy, I have the duty to take care of this matter.

"Why did you suddenly ask that?" Fifth brother didn't understand.

"When you told me that if a dead person died with grievances, they would turn into devils to come back and take their lives, sucking in the essence of others. I only felt that the deaths you spoke of were similar to the hunger I heard about, so I was more curious about whether someone really suffered injustice." I came up with an excuse that I couldn't believe and tried to fudge it.

"You're just a girl, why are you so interested in these things? There are no ghosts in this world, so don't scare yourself." Fifth brother did not mind and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to be a coward who actually wants to believe this stupid thing." Bai Chen scoffed.

"You little brat, eating your food. Why did you interrupt when you're an adult?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"You're the brat. Aren't you two years older than me?" Bai Chen said unhappily.

"Even if I was born two hours before you, I would still be your sister. This is the truth."

"You're being unreasonable."

"You already said that I'm an ignorant person, but you still want to reason with me. Aren't you slapping yourself? Then am I stupid or not?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I can't win against you, glib tongue." Bai Chen was finally defeated and continued to eat with his head down.

"Fifth brother, I want to take a look at those dead bodies. Can you take me with you?" I looked at fifth brother in anticipation.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Fifth brother was shocked by my words and a piece of meat stuck in his throat. He violently coughed out as his face flushed red. He finally stopped after great difficulty.

"Fifth Bro, be careful. If you don't want me to go, then just say it. Why are you reacting like that?" I patted him on the back to help him out.

"You're becoming more and more unreliable. Even a seven foot man wouldn't be able to avoid this sort of thing. Yet, you, as a girl, are still in high spirits. You're the one scaring people, aren't you?"

"I was born with great courage and love excitement. I love to find out the truth behind all these things. Take me to see it, or else I won't be able to fall asleep." I tugged on fifth brother's sleeve and said coquettishly.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep after watching it for the rest of your life." Fifth brother still didn't agree.

"How could that be? I'm very brave. I've been in a plumbing class before, and I've seen plenty of corpses and organs." I didn't give up and grinded my teeth.

"What unplaning class." Fifth brother was confused.

I choked, that wasn't the point, and if I told them, they would still be able to eat.
