Re:Library

The bathroom was already cramped, and she was the only living person present. Seeing the tragic state of the female corpse and the dense scratches in the bathroom, it was impossible not to feel a chill down her spine.

However, even under such circumstances, Zhao Mingyue still maintained the most basic level of calm.

She recalled all the information about this female ghost, and thought of a sentence Lu Liangting once said. When the woman was burned to death, there were two children in the house who were always looked after by the woman. Since the woman was burned to death, it was unlikely for these two children to escape.

But now, only the woman’s corpse was visible, and there was no sign of the two children. If the bodies had been dealt with, then the ghosts of the two children should still be lingering here.

“Lu Liangting said before that she was with two children. Bai Yu, can you see those two children?”

“I don’t see them. They’re definitely not in this house.” Bai Yu gave the answer. Indeed, she did not see the children, only the female ghost in the corner.

This morning, when Zhao Mingyue went downstairs, she was ghost-walled. It was this female ghost who did it, probably wanting to keep Zhao Mingyue here forever.

“This ghost’s resentment is very strong. If you come in by yourself, you will definitely die here.”

After entering the bathroom, Bai Yu knew the problem was more serious than she thought. The ghost was deliberately imprisoned here by someone. Her resentment was already heavy, and being locked up here almost doubled it, and this was her home ground, which could enhance her strength even more.

“Ah, then can you deal with her?” Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Zhao Mingyue became a little panicked.

“I can, but if I want to solve her with the least cost, it depends on Lu Liangting.”

“Lu Liangting?”

“That guy has entered the memory of the female ghost. If he does it right, he can weaken the ghost’s resentment. Understand?”

With Bai Yu’s explanation, Zhao Mingyue immediately understood, “Then I’ll go out and tell him.”

Just as she finished speaking and before she could turn around, the bathroom door slammed shut behind her.

At the same time, the five chains that locked the female ghost began to shake violently, and even the pus and rare earth soaking the female corpse began to fluctuate violently, as if boiling.

It gave the illusion that the female corpse was about to come back to life, yet the corpse did not move an inch.

The red filter in the bathroom deepened, and Zhao Mingyue’s vision was filled with blood. She clutched the rabbit doll in her arms tightly, took a step back, and slightly lowered her head, and at this time Bai Yu had already stood in front of her.

Bai Yu’s body appeared to be only fifteen years old, even two years younger than Zhao Mingyue. Her body development is among the thinner ones among girls of the same age, with a height of about 1.6 meters. She seemed fragile, even a bit sickly.

It was such a delicate body that made people full of protective desire that now took the initiative to stand in front of Zhao Mingyue, bringing her a different sense of security.

“Do you want to die again?”

Buzz!

A gust of wind blew, and countless blood threads crawled out from the cracks in the floor and ceiling. In the blink of an eye, the blood threads wrapped the entire bathroom like a spider web.

Under the influence of the blood threads, the female ghost appeared, her deep blue skin covered with black lines, her head lowered, her messy black hair covering her face, dressed in a blood-red long dress, and exuding black energy, which was the physical manifestation of thick resentment.

As soon as the female ghost appeared, she pounced towards Bai Yu, her black nails at least twenty centimeters long, stabbing straight towards Bai Yu’s heart.

Her speed was frighteningly fast, and Zhao Mingyue subconsciously squinted her eyes, afraid that Bai Yu would be pierced through. However, the next moment, Bai Yu’s left hand directly grabbed the female ghost’s wrist, and her right hand, wrapped in chains, punched the female ghost’s chest.

The female ghost was blown away by the punch, her black energy scattered, and her body leaned back. But since one of her hands was still held by Bai Yu, she was pulled back as soon as she leaned back.

Her palm, shaped like a knife, suddenly pointed at the female ghost’s throat. With a crack, the female ghost’s neck twisted. Bai Yu withdrew her hand, and the arm wrapped in the thick chains was raised high and smashed down on the female ghost’s head. As the female ghost’s head fell, Bai Yu met it with a knee strike.

When the female ghost’s head was raised again, Bai Yu’s small fist was already there.

Bang!

The female ghost was sent flying, crashing into the bathroom wall, and a cloud of black mist spread out.

This smooth sequence left Zhao Mingyue who was watdhing behind her dumbfounded. Although she had seen Bai Yu kill ghosts before, she had never seen Bai Yu do this. How could such a weak body burst out with such great power?

And ah, these fighting skills were too proficient, right? What did she do in her previous life? Why would such a fragile-looking girl know these moves?

Zhao Mingyue didn’t even know where to start her complaints. It really didn’t match the girl’s style, as every move was aimed at the vital points. If the opponent wasn’t a ghost but a person, they would have been beaten to death or at least half-dead.

The female ghost stood up and let out a roar, even Bai Yu was momentarily dazed.

The nails on both her hands grew wildly, stabbing towards Bai Yu like arrows, and that wasn’t all, black spiritual flames ignited on the nails.

Bai Yu came back to her senses amidst the ghostly scream, and the ten nails were already stabbing at her.

Without any panic, her right hand transformed the chains into a long knife, and the blade slashed down, cutting off the nails. At the same time, Bai Yu’s knife was ignited by the black spiritual flames, and she had no choice but to discard it.

Having her nails cut off, the female ghost stared at Bai Yu with extremely resentful eyes under her black hair.

Bai Yu glanced at her right hand, and cracks actually appeared on her exposed skin, not the black lines on her body, but real cracks.

The speed at which she had just slashed was too fast, and her body couldn’t adapt to this sudden burst, which was why this happened.

Bai Yu was both surprised and not surprised. She had long known that this body was frail, but she didn’t expect a fierce ghost’s body to be this weak.

Meanwhile, Lu Liangting was in the environment of the female ghost.

He already knew the truth of the matter, but he couldn’t change anything. The fire had already started, and he was now being chased by the female ghost.

Just when he was driven to a dead end, the female ghost seemed to be suddenly hit by a force and flew backward, replaced by a fleeting figure.

Seeing her, the despair in his heart from knowing the truth of the matter disappeared.

This feeling was quite strange, like being stranded in a foreign land at a life-or-death moment, only to be saved by a girl from his hometown who was passing by.

It was nothing but moving.

At this moment, Bai Yu didn’t know that by helping Zhao Mingyue, she had inadvertently saved Lu Liangting’s life, and this guy felt her presence even more in his heart.

She was about to strike and kill the female ghost, even if she had to pay a little more, but the female ghost suddenly disappeared.

Not only did the female ghost disappear, but even the red filter in her vision was slowly fading.

Click.

The sound of unlocking came from the door outside, and then someone directly opened the door from the outside.

“Someone’s coming.”

The female ghost disappeared, and Bai Yu also hid in Zhao Mingyue’s shadow.

The person who came was a living person. If nothing unexpected happens, the female ghost’s corpse was most likely imprisoned by him, and the house was also cleaned by this person. The paper-burning basin placed in the middle of the house, and the putty on the fourth and fifth floors, were also done by this person.

“Who are you, how did you get in!” An old voice came from the living room.
