Upon hearing my words, Yang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Young man, are you saying she turned into a ghost?"
I nodded. Apparently, he didn't believe what I was saying, but I still said, "Zhang Roujin has indeed become a female ghost, and a fierce one at that. She's been looking for you, she wants to kill you."
Yang Zhiqiang paused, squinted and asked me, "Impossible. What I did was to give her a complete release. She should be grateful to me. It's impossible for her to want to kill me."
I didn't explain the situation, but asked, "Why did you come to the mental hospital then?"
"Because it's chaotic here, I just want some peace and quiet to think about things," he said casually.
I got up and didn't say anything more to him, just said, "A friend of mine has been caught by Zhang Roujin. She asked me to bring you to see her. If you don't go, my friend will be killed by her."
Yang Zhiqiang frowned, but didn't answer my question. I didn't press him further, and as I walked towards the door, I said, "When you've figured it out, just have the nurse call me."
Leaving the ward, I handed the nurse my business card, gave some instructions, and then left the mental hospital.
Timing was perfect. Just as I arrived downstairs at Du Xiaolan's place, she leisurely walked down.
Once in the car, she asked if my mental illness had been cured completely. I told her I had just returned from the mental hospital. Du Xiaolan looked surprised and asked if I really had a mental illness.
It was time to tell her some things, otherwise, she would keep suspecting me of having a mental illness. Even if I didn't have one, I might start believing it subconsciously.
Looking at her seriously, I said, "Haven't you noticed that I didn't used to talk to myself, but it has become very frequent lately?"
Du Xiaolan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I've noticed."
"Because I can see ghosts!"
I thought Du Xiaolan would be very surprised, but she ended up covering her mouth and laughing out loudly, "Mingyang, you are really funny. You can see ghosts? Haha, you crack me up."
I gave her a look, she really didn't believe me. But there was no way to show it at this moment, because she couldn't see ghosts, so it was normal for her not to believe.
Upon arriving at the store and opening the door, Du Xiaolan sat in front of the mirror applying makeup as usual.
After cleaning up the place, I leaned against the wall and pointed to the stool next to her, "Did you feel a chill yesterday?"
"Yes, I did!" replied Du Xiaolan as she filled in her eyebrows.
"That's because there was a female ghost sitting next to you!"
"What?" Du Xiaolan jumped up from her stool, glared at me fiercely and said, "Yin Mingyang, are you deliberately trying to scare me?"
I quickly shook my head, "I'm just telling you what happened. And last night in that villa, there were not just the two of us, but also two female ghosts!"
"Enough." Du Xiaolan rubbed her flawless white arms and shivered, saying, "If you say that again, I'll tear your mouth off."
"Fine, I won't say it again," I sighed. We've come to this point, and this guy still doesn't believe it.
I picked up my phone and saw that no one had called. Just as I placed it on the bar counter, the phone rang. It was an unknown number, and when I answered, I heard Yang Zhiqiang's voice.
He said he had figured it out. It was he who had caused the events back then, and for over twenty years, he had been thinking about Zhang Roujin all the time, and now it was time to face her.
I left Du Xiaolan to take care of things at the store and drove to the mental hospital. After handling some complicated procedures, I brought him to Tianxiong Purple County.
Inside the villa, I called out loudly for Zhang Roujin to come out, but even after shouting for a long time, I didn't see a soul.
At this moment, Yang Zhiqiang seemed more like a guest, appearing very restrained in the villa.
Saving someone was the priority at this moment, so I quickly went to the corner of the stairs and signaled to Yang Zhiqiang, then quickly climbed in.
When I reached the door of the small room in the back, I heard Anduo'er's sobbing from inside.
"Zhang Roujin, come out!" I stood at the door and shouted loudly, "The person you want, I have brought!"
Upon hearing my voice, Anduo'er's sobbing became louder. She must have had her mouth covered by Zhang Roujin and couldn't say a word.
The iron door slowly opened, and Zhang Roujin walked out with a cold smile, not even giving me a glance, but looking at Yang Zhiqiang behind me.
"You've come, and you have the nerve to come!" Zhang Roujin's voice was calm but filled with strong resentment.
Yang Zhiqiang was very excited, speaking somewhat incoherently, "Roujin, is it really you?"
"It's me, standing before you now is the Zhang Roujin you dismembered all those years ago!" Her emotions were out of control, and her voice was very harsh.
"Roujin, listen to my explanation." Yang Zhiqiang hurriedly said, "More than twenty years ago, you were already dead. I did what I did just to let your body rest, I truly didn't want to kill you."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Roujin coldly rebuked, "You didn't want to kill me? The symbol you carved on the jar not only imprisoned my body but also imprisoned my soul for over twenty years. If not for my intense grudge, I would still be sealed inside!"
I couldn't help but sigh, feeling regretful. It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't acted recklessly.
While Zhang Roujin could call me from the underworld, she couldn't step out of the jar, and by opening the jar, I had released her. If I hadn't done that, none of this would have happened.
I smacked my head with my hand, regretting my actions.
Looking at Yang Zhiqiang, his expression was grim. "What? That's impossible. The symbol I carved was supposed to help your departed soul find peace!"
"Nonsense! That symbol sealed my soul!" Zhang Roujin roared.
I couldn't help feeling extremely overwhelmed. These two had been misunderstanding each other for over twenty years, and it would be very hard to clear it up this time.
Yang Zhiqiang was extremely agitated and took a step forward. "But the young man who told me the method clearly said it could help your departed soul find peace!"
Zhang Roujin suddenly froze and looked at him, asking firmly, "What young man?"
Yang Zhiqiang hurriedly said, "Have you also seen that young man who is eighteen or nineteen?"
Zhang Roujin instantly fell silent, her face becoming more and more unpleasant, and the surrounding air suddenly turned cold.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This guy's behavior was too abnormal. As I turned to look at An Duo'er, who was already tied up, I was about to rush in to rescue her when Zhang Roujin suddenly said, "That young man is the one who turned me into a zombie!"
"What?" I was dumbfounded, blurting out the exclamation ahead of Yang Zhiqiang.
