Chapter 4 - Jiang Family Residence

Early the next morning, I got up and ran over to my master.

Because that male ghost said he would come to find me at night, I have to find my master first before nightfall. It would be best if I caught that old ghost in a jar and kept him.

But the neighbor told me that my master had gone for a stroll!

Master, why don't you go earlier or later?

With all my hopes gone, I entered the house and followed my master's precious magic tools, as well as some runes and such, before leaving.

But just as they walked into the alley, someone covered their noses and mouth, and then they fainted.

When I woke up again, I found that it was already night, and I was lying in an unfamiliar courtyard. The ground beneath me was covered with white powder, and there were many runes drawn on the ground, but I don't know why, but I had seen so many of them from my master's place, so I couldn't recognize any of them.

"Miss Su, you're awake."

A man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. He looked to be in his sixties. However, the passage of time did not erase his fierceness. His eyes were glinting with a bright light. This was Jiang Yan's father, Jiang You.

"Lord Jiang, what do you mean by this?" I asked, standing up.

Thinking about Jiang Yan's death, she reckoned that it had something to do with him!

"Miss Su, do you know that my daughter's corpse has disappeared, and you are the last person to come in contact with my daughter's corpse? That's why I've come to ask you about it?" When Jiang You's gaze fell on the bite marks on my neck, his gaze focused slightly.

I subconsciously covered the collar of my shirt, "If the corpse is lost, you can go to the police. Even if you want to ask about it, you should go to the police station. What's the meaning of Mr. Jiang taking me here?"

Jiang Yan had already turned into a ghost, her corpse would definitely stay in the mortuary and wait for the cremation!

This Jiang Family was full of spirit energy, it was better to not be foolish!

I started to walk, but after walking a few steps, I realized that I couldn't walk out of the rune at all!

So it turned out, this was not a simple Evil Repellent Spell!

"Jiang You, what do you mean?" "This is illegal detention!"

Unexpectedly, that Jiang Zhuzhe looked at me hazily and said, "Miss Su, your fate is completely yin and you have the Yin Yang Eyes. Furthermore, you are the Zhang's descendants's disciple, so you should have already seen through the problem with the Jiang Family. So... I invited you here today because of the town ghost, and the police have no right to interfere. "

After saying that, he glanced at my neck once more, then turned around and left.

"Jiang You, let me out!" I shouted anxiously.

After River Synthesized disappeared, I was the only one left in the courtyard. Behind me, a chilly wind suddenly appeared, making me sound like a woman crying.

I shivered and immediately took out my master's compass to place on the ground.

The needle on the compass revolved with all its might, finally pointing in a direction.

My heart froze. That compass is specialized for recognizing ghosts. If there are ghosts in the surroundings, then it would point towards that direction!

At the corner of the street, a rustling sound was heard. I immediately clenched my fists and looked at that direction vigilantly.

"Yi, hee hee …" A childish voice called out, and then a little boy in a white sweater ran over from the moonlight, leaving shadows on the ground.

It was a child!

I kept the rune and heaved a sigh of relief. "Little friend, why are you here?"

The little boy ran over and stared at the compass in my hand. He tilted his head and said, "I come here every night to play with my friends. Hey, come over quickly."

Suddenly, the boy raised his head and looked at the corner as he spoke.

However, there was no one around the corner as a cold wind blew past.

I tightly gripped the compass in my hand in alarm.

"Little friend …" You, what are you talking about? " I asked in horror.

However, the little boy didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and continued waving in that direction, "He's my friend. He said that he lives in our family's ancient well …"

I looked to the side. There was indeed an ancient well on the upper left side of the courtyard. Under the moonlight, the ancient well gave off a dark and cold aura.

The little boy was still giggling, but my legs were slowly shaking.

The compass in my hand rotates once again. I slightly narrowed my eyes and opened them. After which, I saw a 3-4 year old child standing in a corner.

He was only wearing a torn, charred jacket, and his exposed arms and legs were emitting the smell of burnt flesh. One could faintly see a long, wiggling maggot inside the coat. When the little kid noticed me looking at him, his mouth started to smile at me, and a maggot immediately crawled out!

In this world, there was a type of ghost that was extremely difficult to deal with. Once touched, it would be very difficult to shake off, and that was the ghost baby!

Seeing that the little boy was about to walk towards the little ghost, I immediately pulled him behind me to protect him. "Little friend, why aren't you coming home? What are you doing here?"

When the little ghost heard me talk to him, he immediately started laughing. His laugh was sinister and creepy. He raised his head to point at the little boy behind him and said, "Mom is not here, I want to play with him."

The little ghost's voice was half hoarse, half ear-piercing. It sounded like there was a lot of dust that had been choked in his throat.

I suppressed my fear and said, "It's quite late today. Can you go home and wait for your mother?"

The little ghost stubbornly shook his head, "There's a fire in my house, I want to play with him, only he plays with me, I want to keep playing with him, when he becomes a ghost, he will be like mother, always accompanying me …" "Hee hee."

"You actually want to kill him …" I was so anxious that I almost shouted, but I held it back. Once this kind of brat erupted, it would be extremely difficult to deal with.

Just as my heart was burning with anxiety as I was thinking of a countermeasure, I heard the little ghost slowly limping towards me. His voice was hoarse as he laughed in an ear-piercing manner. "Elder sister, you should also stay and play with me. This place is really interesting …"

The kid smiled innocently as he extended his charred hand towards us.

I immediately retreated in fear and clenched the talisman in my hands. "Don't come over. I also want to go home. I can't play with you."

"You won't be able to go back. You won't be able to leave this circle." The kid kept coming.

"How do you know?" I was startled.

"Hee hee, I just know that I will turn you into ghosts right now —" The little ghost suddenly shrieked with laughter and pounced on us!
