“Let’s go. There’s something I want to ask you.” Bai Yu stepped away and glanced back.

Lu Liangting thought she was talking to him, but then he saw Shen Shuyun get up from the ground and follow, a strange smile on her face. She turned her head and looked at him, her right index finger raised to her lips, saying in a very low voice,

“Don’t follow. This is a matter between us girls. If you have any doubts, you can come to my place later. You know the address. I’ll tell you the details.”

“Of course, on the condition that I make it out alive.”

She got the answer in her heart, and before this, she did something deadly, which was to actively expose Doctor’s identity.

Doctor might kill her afterwards to eliminate future troubles, but that wasn’t important anymore.

On the contrary, even if she was really killed, she would thank Doctor. Without her help, she would be no match for Zhang Dahai.

At that time, the roles of hunter and prey would be reversed, and she would be the one to die.

Death itself wasn’t scary, but it depended on the situation.

Being killed by Doctor or being humiliated and then killed by Zhang Dahai, she chose the former.

Noticing Shen Shuyun’s gaze, Lu Liangting didn’t say a word, watching her leave with Bai Yu.

He didn’t know if it was his misconception, but he always felt that Shen Shuyun seemed to have become a different person in this short period of time. The change was very big yet he couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly. He wasn’t even sure if this change was good or bad.

“If I go to her house, I might die.” After Shen Shuyun and Bai Yu disappeared from sight, Lu Liangting leaned against the door frame, shaking his head with a wry smile.

He took out the pen and red hairpin, holding them in his palm.

“She has too many secrets, far more complicated than I thought. She probably didn’t die at Sunshine Apartments. Going there was probably because she sensed the aura of the ghost on the fifth floor and was worried she would harm people, so she appeared at Sunshine Apartments.”

“This also explains why she would save me again and again, and why she would fight the female ghost on the fifth floor as soon as she appeared.”

“Sigh, I actually wanted to help her. Back then, I thought that since she was at Sunshine Apartments, I should at least find her remains and give her a proper burial to help her dispel her resentment.”

“Now I have no clue at all. I don’t know her secrets, I don’t know her past, I don’t even know her name.”

“But it’s okay, there will definitely be more opportunities in the future. And just now, she took the initiative to talk to me. This is a good start. At least I have a certain impression in her heart.”

“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just go ask Shen Shuyun.”

Lu Liangting had made a very big decision.

He knew what kind of heart lay beneath Shen Shuyun’s sweet appearance. If he went, he would either be r4ped or killed.

If he really went, he would stand in the living room at most, not eat or drink anything carelessly, take all precautions, ask what he needed to know, and leave quickly.

Lu Liangting’s pen and red hairpin remained motionless in his hand, as if deliberately avoiding this topic.

But he didn’t seem to notice, continuing to mutter to himself.

“Oh right, just now she asked me about the talisman, but I didn’t finish saying it.”

“Chen Yun doesn’t like to talk much, but she’s a good person. It’s a pity that one is human and the other is a ghost. Chen Yun also seems to know some ghost-catching techniques and isn’t very friendly to ghosts.”

“I told Chen Yun I would come here. I don’t know if she’ll follow, but I hope not. At the very least, I hope there won’t be any conflicts.”

“I’ll kill you!”

On the third floor of the youth center, Chen Yun was furious. She looked down on Zhao Mingyue from the bottom of her heart.

Yet every time, she lost to Zhao Mingyue, whether in sports, academics, or appearance.

Except for family background, there was one more thing Chen Yun felt she was superior to Zhao Mingyue in. She could come into contact with another world, while Zhao Mingyue could only be like an ignorant, pitiful bug, working every day to support herself, not knowing how narrow her world was and how vast and mysterious the outside world could be.

Recently, she learned from her sister that Zhao Mingyue had also started to come into contact with that world due to some coincidences, together with Lu Liangting.

However, she didn’t have much interest in comparing success or failure. Her current thought was very simple: to turn Zhao Mingyue into a part of that world and control her herself.

Zhao Mingyue was completely unaware of Chen Yun’s inner thoughts. She thought Chen Yun was just angry because of her earlier strike.

Before she could finish speaking, a talisman with a strange eye symbol was thrown out by her.

The talisman floated in mid-air. Zhao Mingyue looked over and felt her vision blur, instantly feeling a little dazed.

Accompanied by the agonized wails of nearby ghosts, Chen Yun raised her hand, and another talisman flew out from her wide sleeve, sticking to her palm.

This talisman didn’t have an eye pattern, only black misty lines.

A hint of viciousness flashed in Chen Yun’s eyes. With one hand, she fiercely slapped towards Zhao Mingyue’s belly.

This talisman contained the remnant resentment of a fierce ghost. Being struck by this resentment wouldn’t kill the person immediately but would cause them to be entangled by the resentment.

The outcome would be countless diseases plaguing the body, deteriorating day by day, until eventually ending their life in agony and becoming a ghost to be further tormented by this resentment.

The method was simple, the effect was cruel.

Ghosts represent the other extreme of humanity. For ordinary people, even making contact could bring great misfortune, let alone having a ghost’s resentment strike the body.

Diseases were just one aspect. The most deadly was the mental torment.

With this resentment, the target would see a non-existent “ghost” that could never be shaken off or escaped, tormenting them day and night.

And just as the talisman was about to strike, a pale, sickly, slender hand suddenly appeared, gripping Chen Yun’s wrist tightly, stopping the talisman in place. No matter how hard Chen Yun tried, she couldn’t move it a millimeter closer to Zhao Mingyue’s body.

The wrist was extremely cold, the kind of coldness that penetrated into the bones and pierced the soul.

Chen Yun instinctively turned her head to look, only to see a girl a head shorter than her that had appeared out of nowhere grab her wrist.

At first glance of Bai Yu, Chen Yun didn’t realize she was a ghost. She had never seen a ghost dress so cleanly and beautifully. It was only the icy chill on her wrist that made her realize.

Unfortunately, her other hand had been crippled by Zhao Mingyue and couldn’t be raised, and her last hand was tightly grabbed. No matter how much force she used, she couldn’t break free. That feeling was like being clamped by an iron clamp frozen in liquid nitrogen.

She couldn’t believe such a frail-looking ghost could have such strength.
