Chapter 38 The So-Called Spirit

The three balls of light were white, but there was a black air inside, and the black air was gradually deepening.

After the three balls of light fell to the ground, they turned into the appearance of Xiaoyue and the middle-aged couple.

"Sister Liu... are we... really dead?" Xiaoyue sat on the ground with dull eyes.

The middle-aged couple was not in a good state either, hugging each other tightly and trembling.

"Xiaoyue, although this news is cruel, you are indeed dead. You don't believe that you are dead, so you turned into a spirit." Liu Xu showed an unbearable look in her eyes, holding the brush in her hand, and her finger joints turned pale.

Spirits are a very special existence.

After a person dies, if he carries great resentment or other circumstances, he is very likely to turn into a weird.

Weird is irrational and only knows how to kill.

But there is a special situation in the middle, that is, spirits.

The so-called spirits are people who do not believe that they are dead after death, and still retain their intentions before death, repeating what they did before death.

This situation is extremely rare.

But this does not mean it is a good thing.

When spirits exist in the world, they will be corroded by the world and gradually develop into weirdness.

This speed is very fast, just like now, Xiaoyue and the middle-aged couple's eyebrows have begun to turn black.

And spirits are also difficult to find, because they keep their appearance before death, and even look no different from ordinary people.

Visible and touchable, except for the lack of temperature.

Only in extremely subtle places can the difference be found.

When Liu Xu was in Sheng County, he was already very familiar with Xiaoyue, so he found the abnormality.

"Xiaoyue, you should have gradually gained memories. When you think of the scene of your death, it will become weird. At that time, you will have no reason." Liu Xu endured the sadness in his heart and added.

"Sister Liu, Xiaoyue doesn't want to become something without reason." Xiaoyue tried to raise her head, and the black air between her eyebrows was gradually deepening.

At this time, the middle-aged couple finally reacted, and as the black air deepened, they recalled many things.

The middle-aged woman hugged Xiaoyue from behind and gently touched Xiaoyue's head, with pain on her face.

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Xu and said with a wry smile: "Miss Liu, do you want to help us get rid of it?"

Liu Xu nodded without hesitation: "I will try to reduce your pain."

Before the spirits became weird, all their thoughts were no different from those of ordinary people.

It would be extremely painful to erase them before that, and all she could do was to relieve the pain.

As for whether they could not be erased, the answer is no.

If they were ignored and turned into weird, it would be even more dangerous.

She was a scholar and a capable person, and she had to make the right choice at this time.

-Even if it was a painful choice.

"It would be great if there was a medium, so that they could leave without pain." Liu Xu sighed.

The medium was a matchmaker for Yin and Yang, and there was a branch in this line that could give the spirits painless relief.

"Miss Liu, we are ready." The middle-aged woman touched Xiaoyue's head, comforted her for a while, and looked up.

This decisiveness made Liu Xu stunned.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "I can't cause trouble to the neighbors even if I die."

"Miss Liu, you don't have to think about redressing our grievances. It will be troublesome. I am satisfied to be able to send us off." The middle-aged man returned to his wife, opened his arms, and hugged the middle-aged woman and Xiaoyue in his arms.

Liu Xu was silent, not knowing how to speak.

Her hand holding the brush was very tight.

This feeling was the first time she experienced it. She could feel a sense of helplessness from Xiaoyue.

"Don't you want to cause trouble to the neighbors..." Liu Xu muttered to herself.

At this time, the spread of the black gas was gradually increasing, and Xiaoyue and the others began to become confused.

"Uh... uh..."

A roar like a beast came from their mouths, revealing a gloomy and cold feeling.

The consciousness in the eyes of the middle-aged couple was decreasing, and Xiaoyue was also changing.

Xiaoyue's eyes were blurred, she lowered her head, looking at her slender palms, her eyes turned from blurred to ferocious.

She recalled the handsome older brother. It was the first time that an older brother touched her head.

But what followed was endless coldness.

"I'm really going to die..."

Xiaoyue's voice was very low, and Liuxu didn't hear it clearly.

At this time, she knew she had to take action. She gritted her teeth, waved the brush in her hand, and condensed the word "Zhen" in the air.

After this word appeared, Xiaoyue and the middle-aged man and woman all groaned in pain.

The painful process was very short. In the blink of an eye, they turned into white light and disappeared.

Only Liuxu was left in the room, empty.

Liuxu took a few steps back with a brush in hand, her face pale.

Because she retreated too fast, she almost fell to the ground.

She looked back out the window, her eyes like stars flashing a trace of hesitation.

"Teacher, I wonder what answer you will give me..."

In the boudoir filled with sandalwood, the low hum of catkins was heard.

...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Xu Bai was not in a good mood these two days.

Every day, in addition to staring at the tree, he was thinking about Xiaoyue.

Especially when he thought of the corpse hanging on the beam, and thought of Xiaoyue's innocence and cuteness, he always felt uncomfortable.

Today should be the time that night when Liu Xu and County Magistrate Zhang agreed.

Carrying a small stool and sitting in the backyard, Xu Bai stared at the locust tree.

The progress bar was still rising.

At this time, Liu Er's voice came from the front yard.

"Brother Xu, there are so many people outside, all heading in the direction of the county government."

The escorts did not dare to enter the backyard. After all, strange things had happened in the yard before. Even if they came to find Xu Bai, they would shout from a distance.

Xu Bai was working on the progress bar, but he came back to his senses after hearing Liu Er's voice.

"County government office?"

"A lot of people?"

He didn't hesitate, put the small stool in the backyard, got up and walked out of the escort agency.

After leaving the escort agency, Xu Bai saw many people walking towards the county government office, which was much more lively than usual.

He thought about it, held the handle of the ghost-head knife, and followed the group of people.

The crowd surged, and soon they arrived at the county government office.

The gate of the county government office was open, and two yamen runners were guarding the door, not letting people in. There was a sign next to it, and a piece of paper was posted on the sign.

There were dense small words on the paper, and many people were watching.

While watching, there were noisy discussions.

"So many people?" Xu Bai frowned, and he couldn't hear the content of the discussion clearly because he was far away.

Generally, when the county government announces important news, it will be posted here. Xu Bai guessed that the content on it should be related to what he wanted to know.

After much effort, he finally squeezed out of the crowd and came to the sign.

Many people were squeezed by him and wanted to turn around and curse, but when they saw the ferocious ghost-head knife on Xu Bai's waist, they closed their mouths again.

The words on the sign were very clear. Xu Bai read it from beginning to end, and his expression became more gloomy.
