Chapter 1373: Working at the Fantasy Antique Shop 07

The ghost hand grew back from Xu Feifei's shoulder, and even more so as resentment rose, it became even more unbridled, its sharp claws digging into the policeman's neck.

The policeman noticed nothing, merely his emotions suddenly flared, and he violently slapped the bed frame.

"What the hell are you doing! Feudal superstition is unacceptable, and it has nothing to do with this case!"

The ghost hand's control was extremely bold; Xu Feifei hid behind the policeman, her pupils devoid of any white gradually filling with hatred, she gloomily stared at the several men at the door, and a low grunt came from her throat.

Ying Wu Shu followed Xu Feifei's covert gaze and saw the red-haired youth, namely Sun Hong's face.

Ying Wu Shu silently frowned, not quite understanding where Xu Feifei's hatred for Sun Hong came from.

In this car accident, the two people with the least connection are them; if the hatred were for standing up for family, Xu Feifei's relationship with her family also seems not good.

Unless……

It is a grievous spirit parasitizing Xu Feifei.

Thus, the accident was far from coincidental; rather, the grievous spirit was deliberately carrying out some act of revenge.

Jin Chen turned his palm over, and an invisible flow of light shot out, striking the ghost hand that was about to fully sink into the policeman's neck.

The ghost hand winced back, and Xu Feifei let out a muffled groan, clutching her shoulder as she knelt on the ground; her pupils instantly returned to normal, cold sweat dripping.

Xu Feifei quietly lifted her head, frightened by Jin Chen's cold, emotionless gaze, she pressed her lips together and dared not make a sound.

Mother Xu was still shouting that someone had been beaten in the ward, causing nurses to come in frequently to warn.

Mediation up to now has still yielded no result; after questioning Sun Hong, the policeman intends to directly help them proceed with legal procedures.

Before leaving the ward, Jin Chen heard Ying Wu Shu's words, so to avoid causing panic, he did not attack the ghost in the hospital, but placed a forbidden spell on Xu Feifei.

Once Xu Feifei and the grievous spirit have any thought of killing again, the forbidden spell will take effect immediately.

And Ying Wu Shu was not idle either; he flicked his fingertips to send a gust of wind that lifted Xu Feifei's wrist, letting Luo Qiu memorize the appearance of the bracelet.

"That's enough." Luo Qiu nodded, quickly pulled out his phone and began to draw.

After leaving the ward, Ying Wu Shu hinted to the policeman that he could go look for the Xu family's younger brother; the policeman didn't understand why, but he agreed anyway.

Jin Chen, Ying Wu Shu, and Luo Qiu saw the policeman off together with Sun Hong; Sun Hong sighed anxiously, tugging at his hair, at a loss.

"Is this lawsuit really going to happen…? Even if we win, my brother still won't wake up."

Ying Wu Shu heard it sharply and asked another question: "Sorry, what do you mean by 'won't wake up'?"

Sun Hong lowered his head: "I don't know either; the doctor said his vital signs are fine, and he's not in a vegetative state, but my brother just won't wake up…"

Jin Chen interjected abruptly: "I can."

Sun Hong was still sharing his sorrow there, not keeping up with Jin Chen's train of thought: "You can… what?"

Jin Chen glanced at him sideways: "Save your brother."

Having said that, he pulled out a traditional medicine certificate from his pocket.

Ying Wu Shu froze for two seconds, then softly asked: "You… this is really true?"

Jin Chen tilted his head, puzzled: "Could it still be fake?"

Yes, it's just placed in the Spirit Clear Ford cabinet; his grandfather used it for a side business (swindling and deceit).

Ying Wu Shu silently acknowledged it in his mind, couldn't help but stare blankly at Jin Chen, feeling moved inside.

He really is out of their league; this isn't just hiring a clerk, he's practically a multifaceted warrior.

Sun Hong finally reacted, leading Jin Chen's trio into his brother's ward.

Unlike the noisy downstairs, Older Brother Sun's ward is spacious and bright, with occasional passing night-shift nurses keeping it quiet.

Upon entering the ward, the yin energy was equally heavy.

Jin Chen and Ying Wu Shu exchanged another silent glance; an unspoken understanding suddenly arose, making Ying Wu Shu's emotions flutter for a moment, and he quickly regained composure to look at the bed.

Older Brother Sun lay flat, his face ashen and his whole body rigid, a special symptom that even doctors cannot detect.

"Struck by evil."

Jin Chen said offhandedly.

Facing Sun Hong's doubtful, uncomprehending gaze.

Jin Chen walked to the bedside, lifted Older Brother Sun's arm to show them, his fingers covered densely with black spots like needle pricks.

"Yin energy has accumulated in the fingers."

He then pulled open Older Brother Sun's hospital gown, revealing his upper body; accompanied by Sun Hong's gasp, they discovered that Older Brother Sun's chest had actually developed livor mortis!

"The body is weak; if evil is not expelled, death will follow."

The last two words weighed heavily on Sun Hong's heart.

Jin Chen covered the clothing again, his fingers unhurriedly tracing over Older Brother Sun's brow, then stopping at the Baihui acupoint, he drew a spiritual sigil in the air.

"True Spirit Expel Evil, break."

Jin Chen's tone was calm, yet it carried immense deterrent power; the three who heard this incantation in the ward all felt their hearts shaken, as if a cool breeze had swept past.

Ying Wu Shu, who cultivates the spirit, felt the aura even stronger.

His gaze lingered on Jin Chen for a few seconds; hearing Luo Qiu say the drawing was done, Ying Wu Shu finally came back to himself, raising a gentle smile as he spoke to Sun Hong.

"Mr. Sun, besides the car accident, has anything else happened recently in your household?"

When Ying Wu Shu speaks to strangers, he also always wears a smile, making people let their guard down unconsciously, but upon closer look the smile doesn't reach his eyes, giving off an aloof, unapproachable air.

Sun Hong first froze, then lowered his head and averted his gaze: "No, nothing."

That was a very obvious avoidance.

Upon hearing that, Ying Wu Shu tugged at the corner of his mouth, his clear, moist voice carrying an aura that made one's heart tremble.

"Mr. Sun, my friend just now wasn't lying; encountering evil spirits and ghosts, if you don't tell the truth, you may still face mortal danger later, including yourself."

Sun Hong shrank his neck in fright; no matter how unwilling he was to believe, the few moves Jin Chen just showed in Brocade City left him no choice but to believe.

After a while, Sun Hong squeezed out his voice: "Not long ago… my younger sister died; from that day on, our household's luck has not been good."

Luo Qiu handed over the bracelet he had just finished drawing: "And this one, do you recognize it?"

「This…」

Sun Hong's reaction was even greater than they imagined.

He was stiff all over, his tone hoarse and powerless.

「This is the bracelet my younger sister loved most before she died; he made it himself. 」

Luo Qiu gasped, whispering to Ying Wu Shu, "The vengeful spirit possessing Xu Feifei's bracelet is very likely their younger sister."

Ying Wu Shu nodded, his earlier question answered.

The car accident was definitely not accidental; it was deliberately caused by the vengeful spirit in the bracelet, and now it has possessed Xu Feifei, likely continuing to act against Sun Hong next.

「Arrange a meeting with the Xu family, give them money, kill the ghost. 」

Jin Chen's lax voice came from behind.

Sun Hong: "……ah?"

I didn't understand! Are you masters all so Silence and taciturn!

Ying Wu Shu explained, "Using private mediation and giving money as an excuse, lure the Xu family out, especially Xu Feifei."

「Your younger sister's vengeful spirit is very likely possessing Xu Feifei. 」

Jin Chen nodded, walked to Ying Wu Shu's side, "Yes."

Luo Qiu looked bewildered, "I just don't get it."

You just met and already have tacit understanding!

Ying Wu Shu glanced at Jin Chen, saw a faint smile in his eyes, and unconsciously curled his lips as well.

Sun Hong, who was frightened alone: "Ah! Heavens……"

He clutched his hair, unwilling to believe it no matter what.

「She actually turned into a ghost! 」

Only fear, no worry or sorrow.

Ying Wu Shu has handled many cases where relatives turned into ghosts; most of those with such emotions had poor relationships with their relatives.

Ying Wu Shu lightly pinched his index finger, lowered his eyes in thought.

This is his habitual gesture when thinking; his long, slender fingertips look pleasing to the eye.
