Chapter 105: Seeing a Ghost

"I'm better." Zhong Kui's voice came, returning to her daily calmness, or even indifference.

"Do you know what happened in Hong Mei's room?" Qi Fei asked cautiously.

"Of course, no matter what, Zhong Xiaoyu is the main personality of this body. I can know all the performances when she is in charge, but she doesn't know what I did when I appeared."

"Then you know she pointed at me just now, right!"

"Zhong Xiaoyu just now wasn't clear-headed. I can feel that she is being eroded by some kind of power. Those memories she suppressed and didn't let me see are eating away at her rationality."

Qi Fei, hearing this, felt relieved: "When she pointed at me just now, I even started to doubt myself. That demeanor, it had too much pressure."

Zhong Kui seemed not to have heard his words. Restored to full health, she immediately sat up straight, stood up, looked at herself in the mirror with sharp eyes, and said: "I think our play can come to the curtain call."

"So sudden?" Qi Fei was clueless for the first time and didn't know what Zhong Kui had discovered in that room.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that guy Zhong Xiaoyu suddenly popping up to cause trouble, you could have seen the miracle of Hong Mei's resurrection," Zhong Kui said coldly.

Just as her voice fell, there was a knock on the door from Bao Chuchu: "Great Immortal, are you feeling better? The time is almost up. According to your previous instructions, everything has been arranged."

Qi Fei looked at Zhong Kui puzzled: "What did you instruct before?"

Zhong Kui curled her lips: "You'll know in a while."

Unknowingly, the sky darkened again. The long corridor of the Yun Shen Secret Realm was a typical Chinese-style corridor, with different exquisiteness at every step. The depth of the classical garden, in the faint light of the red lanterns in the middle of the night, was shadowy, carrying a natural dark atmosphere. Those black corners of mountain rocks seemed to always have a pair of fierce eyes spying on their every move, making people unable to help but look back a few more times.

"Why didn't you mention that you have ghosts here when we came to investigate?" Qi Fei asked Bao Chuchu, who was leading the way.

"What, are the police now responsible for catching ghosts too?" Bao Chuchu was sharp-tongued, still carrying that dissatisfaction toward Qi Fei.

"Any abnormal phenomenon is a clue!" Qi Fei didn't show weakness either.

Zhong Kui listened to the two talking and smiled: "You two are really talking past each other. They didn't tell you about the ghost because even if a female star is murdered, the murderer can still be found. But if there is a ghost, then this place, the Yun Shen Secret Realm, can close down." Zhong Kui said to Qi Fei, "They don't want this matter to be linked to Hong Mei's death."

Subsequently, she looked at the surrounding environment and said, "The gate faces the forest, disasters and diseases are fierce, and you have planted so many vines and placed so many antiques, it's really dark upon dark. It's no wonder there is ghost energy. Didn't you hire someone to look at the Feng Shui when you first started?"

"Of course we did, we hired that famous Golden Snake Great Immortal to look at it," Bao Chuchu said immediately.

"This person again?" Zhong Kui said contemptuously. "I guess you looked for him after you found out about the ghost, right?"

"We didn't dare, the Golden Snake Great Immortal is all..." Bao Chuchu glanced at Qi Fei. "President Qi contacted him personally."

"Heh." Qi Fei said contemptuously, "He is fearless, when did he start getting into superstition."

"It seems you really know nothing about your father all these years," Zhong Kui said with hidden meaning.

The three of them had reached the backyard, only to see four people waiting there, surrounding a basin of charcoal fire, still shrinking their necks and rubbing their hands one by one, shivering with cold.

Zhong Kui, wearing her scarlet cloak, sat opposite them, scanned everyone one by one, and said: "Come on, all of you, tell me, how did you see a ghost."

It turned out that Zhong Kui had asked Bao Chuchu to gather everyone who had seen a ghost in the backyard, lined up and sitting in the sunken open space, quite a bit like sitting in a row and eating fruit.

"You all claim to have seen a ghost, right?" Zhong Kui scanned everyone: Bao Chuchu, waiter Xiao Sun, cleaner Auntie Liu, security guard Xiao Guo, and handyman Xiao Wang.

Her gaze first fell on Bao Chuchu: "You already told me what you saw, but since everyone is here today, why don't you say it again?"

Bao Chuchu was very cooperative and began to tell the story: "I said I usually patrol at night. One day when I passed by here, I suddenly saw that place above." As she said this, Bao Chuchu pointed to the high air two stories up. "In that place, a long-haired woman, no legs, floating in the air, just in the blink of an eye, disappeared quickly. I thought I had misread it, but when I lowered my head and looked up again, the ghost appeared again. I hurriedly used the flashlight in my hand to shine on it. The ghost shadow seemed afraid of light, and when my flashlight shone on it, it disappeared all of a sudden. However, I wasn't the first to see this ghost shadow. Before that, Xiao Li had told me once. To be honest, I didn't care at that time, just thought the little girl had misread it at night. But after I saw it with my own eyes that night, I was indeed shocked. Of course, I have received professional training and reported this matter to President Qi for the first time. President Qi is a very open-minded leader. Even though I reported such an outrageous thing to him, he didn't question me at the first time. But when I suggested whether we could find the Golden Snake Great Immortal to think of a way, I was rejected by President Qi. He said the Golden Snake Great Immortal couldn't help with this matter, so I could only give up. That's when I thought of looking for you. We people in Sanwu Town all know that you are very spiritual in exorcism."

Qi Fei almost rolled his eyes to the sky when he heard Bao Chuchu flattering Qi Dongjun.

Zhong Kui only cared about the part Bao Chuchu mentioned about the ghost, her expressionless face turned to Xiao Sun.

When Xiao Sun was stared at, her body couldn't help but curl up, hiding behind Bao Chuchu.

Zhong Kui stared at her face and asked with her ethereal voice: "What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Sun muttered: "You, you look like a dead person..."

Hearing her say this, Zhong Kui not only didn't get angry but instead showed an expression of interest in Xiao Sun: "It seems you have a talent for mediumship. No wonder you were the first to see a ghost. Come on, tell me where you saw it?"

Xiao Sun heard this, as if she could still recall the scene of seeing the ghost that day, clutching Bao Chuchu's hands even tighter, and said with a trembling voice: "Actually... it was in the suite where Miss Hong stayed. That night, I remembered President Huang asked to send flowers to Miss Hong, and I needed to prepare a vase in the room to arrange flowers. I wanted to take advantage of the time before going to sleep to put the vase there..." ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
