Aoba Office

"Han Ji" didn't ask, so I could only worry.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Shimada finished speaking. The director remained silent for several seconds before Bian Sijun swallowed and spoke dryly.

"Mrs. Shimada said, she said... She said that originally, there was living water... there was a small waterfall on the mountain that flows all the way here. She also said that there should be no gap here. The water in the pool seeped into underground……"

when--

Suddenly there was a soft sound, like the sound of bamboo tapping, echoing in the woods.

The wind blew and the leaves rustled. Snow fell from the trees. Snowflakes are flying, charming to the eyes.

when--

The voice sounded again.

The panicked screams of people came from the front. They were yelling something. Some people were frozen and others were already running away.

Bian Sijun grabbed "Han Ji's" hand and said in panic: "There is a ghost! They said there is a ghost!"

Her two words were heard by those people without suppressing her voice.

The shouting got louder, and some people looked over and turned their lights this way.

I couldn't understand what those people were saying. Bian Sijun seemed to be frightened and stopped translating.

"Han Ji" didn't walk out of the woods, he just stood there and didn't move.

She glanced around, still briefly stopping at Nantian and the Shimada family.

when--

"Come over here!" Nan Tian's voice came out louder and clearer into my ears. I vaguely saw him turning his head and saying something to the director. The director also turned his head and shouted.

"Han Ji" then pulled the trembling Bian Sijun over.

Bian Sijun resisted very much, but he couldn't use any force.

As I got closer, I could see the pool clearly.

The pool is surrounded by stones, making it look like a landscape, and there is even a rockery leaning against the pool. Under the rockery is a device made of two bamboo joints. I remember whether this thing is called Tianshui or Jinglu...

Before I could think about it, I saw the empty bamboo joint suddenly falling and hitting another bamboo joint.

when--

This is the sound I just heard.

The bamboo joint quickly recovered.

The hairs on my back suddenly stood up, and I subconsciously looked at the female ghost.

The female ghost remained calm.

I don't know if this was caused by her or other female ghosts. The yin energy of female ghosts is everywhere here.

when--

The diabolo moved again.

The sound made everyone around him turn pale.

Only the director was holding the camera, as if ordering him to film this scene.

Without water, the frightened deer moved on its own. Such rhythmic tapping is like invisible water falling into the bamboo joints.

I blinked and found that the water in the pool had changed slightly.

The pool was illuminated by strong light. It originally reflected light, but now, there was a touch of blood in the light.

I looked at the frightened deer again and seemed to see blood flowing from the bamboo joints.

"Wow ah ah -" Daiki Shimada burst into tears.

Shimada Hikaru hugged him and wanted to lift him back, but he held back.

Mrs. Shimada lowered her eyes and twirled her fingers as if she were holding a string of Buddhist beads and chanting sutras.

There were people around who were shouting loudly, crying and repeating a few words.

Bian Sijun hugged "Han Ji" tightly and tilted his head, not daring to look at the pool.

After the initial surprise passed, I glanced at "Han Ji" and then turned my attention to Nantian.

Nan Tian happened to be looking at me. It could be said that he was glaring at me. His gaze was more purposeful than the previous female ghosts' gazes - the female ghosts just looked like they were glaring because they had no eyelids.

He made a lip-sync, and after watching it for a long time, I suddenly understood.

Then, I opened my eyes wide and blurted out: "You guy!"

Nantian made that mouth shape again.

This time I saw it more clearly and felt more certain.

Nantian asked me to "save her".

This guy had discovered me a long time ago, confirmed my identity, and deliberately ignored me...

I remembered my experience in Yangshan District.

I told Nantian roughly about my abilities. Maybe later, Nantian would hear something from the people in Qingye. He's not bad, he can even be said to be smart.

My sudden appearance and two different memories should be enough for Nantian to deduce my identity.

Nan Tian must also have guessed that I will appear here and it is related to him.

I will only save the people I want to save, just like I did in Yangshan District, and give up the lives of others.

My mood became complicated.

Nan Tian was still staring in my direction.

"Han Ji" turned his head at this time and looked over.

My scalp is numb.

This is really bad.

It is not difficult to save Han Ji. Even if Han Ji is dead now, my ability can resurrect her.

The problem is that right now, these female ghosts have unknown intentions, and they don’t know how many people they want to kill...

"Han Ji is also your target?" I turned to ask the female ghost.

This is a silly question, but I'm really at my wits' end.

I can only pray that Han Ji is not their enemy, otherwise, I may have to face the attacks of these female ghosts.

Giving up Han Ji is also an option. I'm afraid that Nan Tian will lose his temper and make everything get out of hand.

"Han Ji" looked sideways at me.

Daiki Shimada couldn't stop crying, and even began to struggle in his grandfather's arms.

What did Hikari Shimada say to Mrs. Shimada?

After much hesitation, Mrs. Shimada finally spoke to the director.

What did the director answer?

The two sides were deadlocked.

The female ghost and I also maintained a stalemate.

I was ready and waved to Nan Tian with the hand behind my back.

I don't know if Nantian can understand what I mean.

I didn't want to hide the female ghost's actions. Their yin energy is everywhere here, and I don’t know how many ghosts are watching me.

I pray now that everything will be the same as the previous two times when I met them, having a slight contact and finally passing them by. We must not get to the point where we both need to fight to the death.

It was my plan to resurrect Han Ji and leave with Nan Tian.

Bian Sijun exhaled at this time, "We can go back!"

The people around him changed their expressions and took steps forward in a hurry.

I'm even more nervous.

"Han Ji" was unhurried, turned his head calmly, pulled Bian Sijun and entered the crowd.

"Hey!" I was ignored, but I vaguely felt that I understood something.

When——when——

The frightened deer's voice became urgent.

I took a glance and saw that the water in the pool had turned blood red.

I was not the only one to see this strange sight, there were people around me pointing at the pool and screaming.

The director still grabbed the camera and stopped.

He himself turned blue with fright, but he insisted on taking the photo.

The cameraman held up the machine, filmed for a few seconds, turned it around twice in a hurry, and then pulled the director to leave.

The person was almost running away, and I looked back again.

The figures of the female ghosts appeared on the pool. They watched these people leave, motionless. Blood flowed down from their faces and merged into the pool along their bodies.

When everyone returned to the shrine and met other people in the team, someone pointed at the shrine and shouted.

I glanced at "Han Ji". She still looked calm. Nan Tianze was still winking at me and making lip-syncs. I'm sure Nantian couldn't really see me, he probably just sensed my presence and heard my voice.

"Just wait, don't bother me!" I ordered him while suppressing my anger.

He doesn't understand the current situation at all.

Fortunately, after I finished speaking, Nantian stopped rushing me.

I walked around the shrine and saw something extra inside the originally empty shrine.

A cat corpse that had rotted to the point of leaving only bones hung on the beam of the shrine.

When the wind blew, the cat's body swayed in the wind.

Behind the cat's body is a statue of Buddha.

It’s not another Buddha statue, it’s the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stone statue that I saw in the hotel!
