Chapter 83 - Ghastly Shadow in the Midnight (2)

Less idle talk, I took the peach wood sword and rushed over after a few gestures. At this time, the man stared at me with his eyes wide open, and when I thrusted the peach wood sword out, Lin Qiumei acted like he was afraid, and retreated a few steps.

When the man saw that I could restrain Lin Qiumei, he immediately hid behind me and begged, "This master, you have to help me!"

With a serious expression, I grabbed his shoulder and said, "A mere evil ghost isn't a problem for me!"

After saying that, I went forward and pretended to have a few rounds with Lin Qiumei. According to the script, Lin Qiumei was completely defeated by me and escaped.

After the man saw my performance, before he could even open his mouth, I said, "Although this female ghost has already been exorcised, Sir, I am afraid your situation has not improved at all. I can see that your entire body is shrouded in darkness, and if I did not predict what will happen seven days from now, you would definitely die from your illness!"

After the man heard my words, he was so scared that his lips started to turn white. His hand gripped my arm tightly, causing me to feel a bit of pain.

The man gave me a frightened look and said, "I beg of you, please save me!"

I rubbed my chin and rolled my eyes. After pretending to think for a while, I said to him, "It's not hard for me to save you. But, if I ask you something, you have to tell me the truth. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you!"

This sudden change of events had actually managed to scare the man witless.

Only after more detailed inquiry did he learn that this man's name was Wang Po Tian.

His original job was to help others repair their bicycles. His parents had long passed away, and he himself had never married to the Wife. He had always been single.

After that, he bought a tile house with two rooms in the residential area and lived in poverty. However, three months ago, a strange thing happened and this guy was completely out of poverty.

Three months ago, it rained heavily. Coupled with the plugging of the sewers in many parts of the town, it caused the rain to flow upstream. Many families had been flooded by the rain.

However, the rain that poured in did not cause a disaster, as it was only about the size of his ankle.

The families in this town that lived in relatively low-lying areas were unlucky, but the ones that lived in higher areas were not affected by the disaster, and this Wang Potian, when he first bought a house, coveted the cheapest tiled building in this district, thus causing a flood within Wang Potian's house.

After the flood, Wang Po Tian quickly returned home to clean up the rain in the house. However, when he was cleaning up, he suddenly discovered that there were some depressions on the concrete floor of the house.

So he dug up the ground, and found that there were many Antique hidden underground!

Wang Po Tian took these Antique and went to the market to sell them. In the end, he discovered that each and every one of these Antique were worth quite a bit, which made him rich overnight.

However, Wang Po Tian simply could not understand the origins of these Antique. Thus, in order to disguise himself, he was normally dressed up in rags, to hide his identity, and to hide his identity from others.

However, something strange happened at this time. Ever since he had obtained money, Wang Po Tian's body condition had worsened, and the current him, even if he was fully dressed, his body still wouldn't look too good. When I said he was in the dark, it wasn't a lie, his face was truly pale, his body was weak, and there were even some hunchbacks.

He did not know why, but the moment he discovered the Antique, his body became weaker and weaker. Every night when he went to sleep, he would feel that someone was stroking his face, and when he woke up from his dream, he would be covered in cold sweat. Even worse, a month after the incident, he discovered that every night when he woke up, he would vomit blood, and his entire body seemed to be drained of energy.

Wang Po Tian began to gradually complain about the society because of this. In this world, he had worked hard for most of his life, borrowing money to buy a house and becoming a house slave.

Furthermore, the house that he finally bought was a haunted place. In a place where he finally had money but his body suddenly became like this, his heart was filled with loathing towards society.

He had a feeling that he would not live long, but he did not want to give up the Antique to anyone else. Hence, he rarely spoke to anyone, and always had this mysterious look …

When he saw us, he was no longer in his right mind. He mistakenly thought that we were here to snatch his Antique, which was why he cursed us all to die.

Also, it's the same tonight as well. This fellow doesn't trust us and always feels that we will mysteriously take away his property, which is why he can secretly follow us at night.

If it wasn't for the scene I just acted out which made him relax his guard against us, this idiot might have been up to something!
