Chapter 179: Ghost in the Closet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The birthday banquet was very successful. The adults danced as the music sounded. Xiao Jing held Gu Teng and danced in the middle of the dance floor. When Xiao Shan saw this scene, he went to Gu Yi’s side and said, “In-law, look at these two children. They’re really a match made in heaven.”
Gu Yi rolled his eyes. ‘Then why didn’t you agree to them being together before?
This kind of dance venue was not suitable for children. Gu Ming had learned some dance moves, but Gu Zi did not want to cooperate with her brother, so she followed Yunbao upstairs to play hide-and-seek.
Only by proving one’s identity could they enter the birthday banquet. With the military guarding outside, they did not have to worry about safety. The adults let the children run around.
Yunbao asked Gu Zi to count to 50 on the spot and quickly rushed into the furthest room. There was furniture covered in white cloth everywhere, and there was a piano in the center of the room.
Yunbao was not in the mood to look at these in detail. When she saw a huge closet, she quickly crawled in and waited for Gu Zi to look for her.
Yunbao felt that she was very safe now.
Just as she was secretly delighted that Sister Gu Zi would definitely not be able to find her, a young voice sounded. “You’re pressing on my hair.”
Yunbao lowered her head to look at the source of the sound. As expected, her feet stepped on a strand of hair.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Yunbao raised her feet and apologized honestly.
She did not feel that it was terrifying to have another person. She still leaned against the cabinet door and listened to the commotion outside, wanting to know where Sister Gu Zi was now.
“You’re really bold.” The young female voice laughed. “Why don’t you stay and play with me?”
After saying that, a pale little hand reached for Yunbao’s neck. Before it could touch her flesh, she was forced back by the sudden burst of purple light. The girl covered her hand and said, “Who are you?
Yunbao had long known that she was a ghost. After seeing so many ghosts, she had long been familiar with the aura on their bodies. It was cold and there was no need to turn on the air conditioner.
The reason why she ignored her was because Purple Eye told her that she was a ghost without much ability. Yunbao knew that she could not hurt her, so she naturally did not take it to heart.
The girl covered her hand and cried. She knew that the person in front of her was not to be trifled with, so she could only vent her emotions like this. After all, she was not much older than Yunbao when she died.
Yunbao had a headache from the noise and asked Purple Eye, “Do we have a way to make her stop crying?
Purple Eye appeared in the closet and carefully sized up this brat. “Why don’t we kill her on the spot? It can also free her.”
The girl didn’t dare to cry anymore. She didn’t want her soul to dissipate.
However, she did not want to let Yunbao off either. She had been trapped in this room for too long. If she wanted to get out, she had to have blood to nourish herself.
She was too lonely. It was not easy for someone to come to this room. She had to seize this opportunity no matter what.
Just as she was about to do it again, Yunbao sighed like a little adult and said, “Sister, do you feel wronged?”
She listened to this young lady cry and thought that she was being bullied.
Ever since Yunbao saved Little Yunbao in the environment, she had fallen in love with the feeling of protecting others. That was why she asked the girl this question.
The girl’s outstretched hand was very awkward for a moment. She did not expect Yunbao to ask her this question. Guilt welled up in her heart as she cried, “I’m sorry. I was wrong.”
When the girl was done crying, she sat up straight and said, “This matter has to start a long time ago.”
Yunbao chanted the Radiance Spell to illuminate the closet and said, “You can tell me slowly.”
In the girl’s description, she was the child of a servant. Because the high official who lived here wanted to borrow luck and needed a child’s blood to open the array, she became the sacrifice.
Not only did she die tragically, but she was also trapped in the closet. No matter how hard she tried, she could not leave and were tortured in the darkness.
Before she died, she had heard the mage say that they could not let blood seep into this room because blood could nourish her soul and let her break through the seal to take revenge on that high official.
However, the girl did not want revenge. She only wanted to leave this closet, so she wanted to attack Yunbao.
After hearing this, Purple Eye said, “I heard from your family that no one has lived here for decades. She has been dead for at least a few decades. She has been trapped for so long and hasn’t become a vengeful spirit. She’s a promising talent.”
“What talent?” Yunbao asked in confusion.
Purple Eye smiled. “She’s very suitable to be your ghost servant..”
