After replying to the text, I left the dormitory. When I got to the bottom of the dormitory building, I saw that Wang Ying was indeed waiting there. But at this moment, she didn't look as good as she did during the day, she looked rather miserable.
I saw her pitifully crouching on the ground, her clothes disheveled, and her hair in a mess. After seeing me, she suddenly ran towards me. Finally, she stopped in front of me and began looking around again.
Seeing Wang Ying like this, I didn't feel like teasing her. I whispered, "Alright, I'm out now. Miss Wang, you haven't forgotten what you said to me on the phone, have you?"
Wang Ying immediately turned her attention to me and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, Duan Mu. I know that what you said during the day must have a reason behind it. I feel like I'm being haunted by something, it's terrifying, I feel like I'm going to die. You must know what it is, right? As long as you help me this time, you can ask for anything in return."
As she said this, Wang Ying looked subdued, a far cry from her arrogant self during the day. But I was still reluctant to hear her words. "Miss Wang, are you mistaken? You just asked me to come out on the phone, not to help you with anything, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying's face changed suddenly. "Duan Mu, you won't stand by and do nothing, will you? Really, if you help me, I promise to listen to you in the future. I'll do anything for you, even dying for you. Also, you have an uncle, right? Your uncle is not well, I can have my father take your uncle to see the best doctor."
Uncle? Those two words felt like a thorn in my heart. Ten years ago, my uncle ended up in this state because he saved me, and it has always been a burden on my heart. I had secretly sworn to take care of my uncle and treat him as my father for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Wang Ying hit a nerve. I was angry to hear her words and didn't expect her to investigate me. But her words moved me. Finally, I gave in.
I looked at Wang Ying and said, "Alright, I'll help you. I don't care about being your girlfriend, just take my uncle to see the doctor after everything is done."
Wang Ying's face lit up, and she suddenly hugged me. "Duan Mu, thank you, really, if it weren't for you this time, I don't know what I would have done."
As she said this, she started to sob softly.
Speaking of which, even though Wang Ying was annoying, she was indeed a beauty. At this moment, being held by her, even through the clothes, I could sense the various charms she exuded.
However, I had undergone a great ordeal, and a chaste person's body cannot be defiled, at least not before the ordeal is over. Because once defiled, I might not be able to overcome the ordeal.
So, without hesitation, I pushed Wang Ying away and placed my backpack on the ground.
Before going downstairs, I knew that Wang Ying was looking for me because of the trouble with Chen Ermei and her son, so I had already prepared things in my backpack. Now, I took them out one by one.
A bronze coin, a paper umbrella called the Ghost King Soul-Calling Umbrella, and a dog hair whip. These three items were my usual possessions, enough for most evil spirits. But for someone like Chen Ermei, I might need a little more.
However, it wasn't necessary at the moment, and I could take them out when needed.
After taking out these items, I looked at Wang Ying again and covered my eyes with a bronze coin in each hand, softly chanting, "The heavenly eye of the netherworld opens, clear the boundary between yin and yang. No place for ghosts and monsters to hide, the evil spirits will reveal themselves."
When I removed the coins, the scene before me was very different. Behind Wang Ying, Chen Ermei was tightly glued to her, with disheveled hair and her head protruding from Wang Ying's shoulder, staring at me intensely. And on top of Wang Ying's head, there was a baby, smiling strangely at me with drool coming out of its mouth.
It is said that ghosts do not have feet. So the way to distinguish between a person and a ghost is to look at their feet, just like with Chen Ermei now. Although she was blocked by Wang Ying, I believed that even from the back, I wouldn't be able to see Chen Ermei's feet.
At the moment I opened my heavenly eye, it seemed that Chen Ermei had realized that I had seen her. Her face suddenly became very terrifying. "Where did this meddler come from?"
Ignoring Chen Ermei, I thoughtfully picked up the paper umbrella called the Ghost King Soul-Calling Umbrella and played with it in my hand. This umbrella, named the Ghost King Soul-Calling Umbrella, had the orders of the Ghost King on it and was specially used to capture ghosts.
It was only then that I calmly said to Chen Ermei, "The dead are already dead, why hold onto grievances? Return to the dust and soil, why stay in the world to harm people?"
"Do you understand anything?" Chen Ermei suddenly shouted, "I advise you not to meddle, otherwise, I won't let you have a good ending."
"Is that so?" I said with a playful smile, gently opening the Spirit-summoning Parasol and reciting another incantation.
With the Ghost-summoning Parasol in hand, the path to the underworld was unobstructed. The ghosts in front of the Ghost Gate make way, while the evil spirits on the Naihe Bridge are in panic.
As the incantation was uttered, it seemed as if two forces of attraction suddenly appeared on the Ghost-summoning Parasol. At that moment, Chen Ermei's face was filled with astonishment, but it was already too late. The baby was the first to be pulled into the parasol, and Chen Ermei was quickly pulled away from Wang Ying's body, towards the parasol.
Just then, Chen Ermei suddenly screamed, and a cold wind instantly swept through the surroundings. Then, Chen Ermei actually managed to break free from the pull of the Ghost-summoning Parasol and fled into the darkness. Coincidentally, my clairvoyant ability had reached its limit, and I couldn't see anything.
I couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn, I didn't expect Chen Ermei's resentment to be so strong that even the Ghost-summoning Parasol couldn't contain her."
Despite cursing inwardly, my face had already returned to normal. Seeing Chen Ermei escape, I casually closed the parasol. When I looked at Wang Ying, I found that she was already pale with fear, trembling all over.
"Wang Ying?" I called out to her. She finally regained her senses and anxiously looked around, asking, "Is everything... is everything okay?"
I nodded, "You won't have any problems in the short term."
Wang Ying let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. I didn't expect you to have some skill. Anyway, now that everything is fine, I'll leave."
"Wait." I was taken aback, "Are you forgetting what you just said so quickly?"
"What did I say?" Wang Ying retorted.
I was taken aback again, "Are you trying to play dumb with me? About my second uncle's situation?"
Suddenly, Wang Ying laughed, "That's right, I did take you for a fool. You're really a cute fool. What kind of person is your second uncle anyway? I think he should just die with his half-dead appearance. What's the point of treating him? Does your second uncle even deserve my father to take him to see a doctor? Are you dreaming?"
