Seeing fatigue creep onto Zhao Hua’s face, Yun Qin saw that it was almost time, so she said, “Okay, I got it. It’s getting late. Let’s stop here.”
Zhao Hua also nodded. She looked at Yun Qin and couldn’t help but say, “I don’t care who you are. Even if you know how to catch ghosts, don’t get involved in the village’s affairs. Some people are more terrifying than ghosts.”
Yun Qin nodded, then put on her backpack and went out.
The village was exceptionally quiet in the middle of the night. The surroundings were pitch black, and there was no light at all.
Usually, there were at least some roosters crowing and dogs barking in the village. However, after all the livestock in the village died, not a single sound could be heard.
From Zhao Hua’s description, the female ghost dressed in white attacks in the middle of the night. Which was right now.
Since Yun Qin couldn’t detect any signs of ghosts, someone must be playing tricks.
Yun Qin’s intuition told her that the person who was playing tricks at night must have something to do with the black ghost marks on the villagers’ wrists.
Hiding in the darkness, Yun Qin picked a higher ground and observed the village quietly.
Since Zhao Hua saw a female ghost, that meant that the person who was playing tricks wanted others to think that the village was haunted.
Seeing no one around, the greedy ghost slipped out of the Soul Bead and rode on Yun Qin’s head. It looked like it was analyzing the terrain from afar, and its nose kept twitching.
Yun Qin almost forgot that she had the greedy ghost with her. This would save her a lot of effort, so she whispered to the greedy ghost, “If you find a person pretending to be a ghost, tell me, understand?”
The greedy ghost squeaked. Yun Qin was worried that it would make a mistake, so she described the “ghost” again, “Long hair, wearing white clothes, but a living person, understand?”
The greedy ghost nodded seriously, indicating that it would complete the task.
After about 40 minutes, the gluttonous ghost’s eyes suddenly lit up. Then, it pulled Yun Qin’s hair and jumped down first, running toward a small path.
Yun Qin quickly followed, trying her best not to make a sound.
Fortunately, when the greedy ghost saw that she fell behind, it would wait for her while sniffing to confirm the location of the target.
When Yun Qin walked to a wall by a house, the greedy ghost stopped moving and indicated for her to look at the corner.
Yun Qin looked in the direction and saw a person with long hair and white clothes hiding behind a tree, staring at the door of the house.
Yun Qin took a closer look and found that she was indeed a living person.
However, there was a very strong evil aura on this person.
After a while, the long-haired “female ghost” dressed in white threw a small stone at the window of that house, making a crisp sound.
After a while, she threw another small stone.
What was this person trying to do? Was she trying to trick people by throwing stones at their windows in the middle of the night?
Yun Qin could not understand this behavior, so she hid in the dark and waited.
After a while, the lights in the house lit up, and an old man appeared. He looked out of the window in confusion while the female ghost hid behind a tree.
The old man saw no one outside the window, so he scratched his head, turned off the lights, and went back to sleep.
When the lights turned off again, the female ghost under the tree started throwing stones again.
Yun Qin felt helpless against this scoundrel-like behavior. If the ghosts in the village were of this standard, then her trip here would have been in vain.
But how does this person have such a thick evil aura on her? There were no signs of evil ghosts.
Just as Yun Qin was watching the mischievous performance and contemplating the situation, the house that was being harassed by the little stones finally opened the door. The old man from before walked out of the door with a flashlight. He looked around, but there was still no sign of anyone.
“This is weird…”
The old man muttered a few words and was about to go back to sleep when Yun Qin saw the female ghost under the tree suddenly move and intentionally cough.
It was a woman! Yun Qin was stunned.
The old man heard it too. He looked behind the tree and saw a figure. He immediately cursed, “Which god damn person came to play tricks in the middle of the night? Come out!”
As for the female ghost, she only circled the tree. She did not go straight for him.
What was she doing? Yun Qin was even more confused.
Could it be that someone with mental problems was pretending to be a ghost?
When the old man saw that it was a timid woman, he immediately said angrily, “You want to steal something, right? If you don’t come out now, I’m going to call for help.”
The female ghost behind the tree shrank back and said, “Okay, I’ll come out. Don’t call for help.”
“Why is your voice…”
Yun Qin saw the old man cursing the troublemaker, but she didn’t expect the female ghost to jump out from behind the tree and pounce on the old man.
The flashlight in the old man’s hand fell to the ground. It lost its light after rolling a few times. In the darkness, Yun Qin saw the female ghost pressing down the old man’s body with force. The old man struggled but could not make any sound.
