Holding a memorial service in the hotel was quite a strange idea. Of course, the hotel’s manager wasn’t pleased. That
was
why security guards were shooing people away.
Compared to the security guards, the deceased’s family members were even more stirred up. They said that the hotel had killed peopl
e and that
they wanted justice.
Someone had called the police. Soon, the police came and took all the trouble-makers away. They also asked the hotel’s manager to go to the police station to report the situation.
The guests
at
the hotel returned to their rooms as the fun was over. I waited until they all left to
have
a closer look.
The portrait of the deceased
depicted
a very young girl. It was
a pity
that she had died
at such
a
young age.
After t
hinking about the paranormal activities the front desk clerk had mentioned, I decided to enter the room to check.
I was lucky that no one had remembered to lock the room because of the
turmoil. But
a
s soon as I
stepped
into the room, I shuddered. It seemed the girl at the front desk was right.
A f
ast battle, a fast victory. I took out the Peach Soul Flower
and held
it in my hand. It should be enough to
deal with
an ordinary
ghost.
The temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees. It seemed the
spirit here couldn’t
stay still
. I sat on the bed and pretended to lie down to sleep.
While lying down, I saw a white shadow
fall
from the ceiling. I was prepared. I rolled
over
and got up
, looking into
the white eyes of the ghost.
It seemed to be an evil ghost. I didn’t dare to be careless. I jumped from the bed and pointed the Peach Soul Flower at her
. I yelled
, “Why do you harm people?”
She didn’t react to me but screamed hoarsely
,
hurl
ing
herself toward me. I hastily threw the Peach Soul Flower
at
her. I didn’t expect that her body would suddenly make a hole that allowed the Peach Soul Flower to
pass
through and close right after that.
I
was surprised that
the Peach Soul Flower couldn’t subdue her.
After realizing that
my
‘
bright ide
a’
hadn
’t worked,
I
felt like
slapping
myself. I quickly scanned the room and saw a big mirror by the door. I
went over and
broke the mirror with my bare hands. I picked a big shard and shone it at the female ghost.
The mirror was an item that could expel evil
spirits
and ghosts, but not many people knew
that
. People often
placed
mirrors
in the wrong position
in the house.
A
mirror in
the wrong
location couldn’t expel evil
spirits. Instead, it would
invite
them
. Gradually, people
stopped using
mirrors to expel evil
spirits
.
However, a
mirror was a good tool
for
exorcis
ms
. Mirrors c
ould
reflect light
, and looking
at such light
for
a long time
could
make people nervous and even
hallucinate
.
T
his kind of reflected light was powerful when dealing with ghosts!
The female ghost screamed when the mirror shone at her. She ran to the window
,
where she bounced back
due to
an
invisible barrier.
I was surprised but soon got it. She had stayed here and done evil things because she was imprisoned in this room.
H
er resentful energy had accumulated day afte
r day
. It would be strange if she didn’t harm anybody!
When the ghost recognized
that she couldn’t escape,
she
bared her teeth and rolled her eyes at me. She roared again but didn’t dare to attack me.
Holding the mirror, I
said,
“I can help you leave this place.”
She didn’t look like she understood what I had said. She looked at me
and whined about
something.
Feeling h
elpless,
I
had to look around the room as I kept
an
eye on her. There must be
a
formation or something mysterious in this room that had bound her here.
I’d been here for quite a long time but I
couldn’t
notice
the existence of a formation.
T
he possibility
of there being
something else in this room loomed bigger.
Soon, I had checked all the things I could see except for under the bed.
The female ghost was as fierce as a tiger lurking
at
its prey. I didn’t dare to bend to check the bed. Luck
ily for
me, this hotel room was equipped with a cloth rack for the guests to use. I took it and extended it underneath the table
to search.
I found that the bed was solid and there
was
no space underneat
h
. Then, my eyes moved to the bathroom.
It seemed that thing was in the bathroom. After
s
eeing me linger outside the bathroom, the ghost suddenly stirred up. She wanted to jump toward me many times,
but
she hesitated
for some reason
.
There should be something in there as she was afraid of
the place
. She didn’t dare to approach the
bathroom
. I eased my nervous heart and checked the bathroom. The glazed counter, the showerhead, and
the
shower chamber
looked normal. Eventually, my eyes turned to the toilet bowl…
I thought to myself,
I
t shouldn’t be that melodramatic, should it?
However, I still boldly lifted the toilet lid. I found a bone with a talisman in the toilet.
This piece of bone was
so
small that I couldn’t recognize what kind of bone it was. However, the bone that could entice the soul was often from
a
skull.
I showed the piece of bone to the ghost. She stirred up again
and roared
at me. It seemed the bone belonged to this ghost. I activated the Yin and Yang Umbrella to protect myself. Then, I read the runes on the talisman.
It was just a simple spell to subdue the soul.
A
talisman on a skull could confine the deceased’s soul. Of course, it was easy to solve this spell. I just needed to tear the talisman.
I wondered who had a big grudge against this woman
.
She was dead, but she couldn’t rest.
It was n
o wonder why she had become
violent
.
I shook my head and peeled the talisman off the bone. As soon as the ghost saw that the talisman was deactivated, she turned and moved toward the window.
I followed her.
F
ortunately, I was on the third floor,
so
I could just jump and land on some air conditioner covers. I followed the ghost’s aura to track her down.
After c
hasing after
her
for a long time, I found that something was wrong. It was ill-lit inside the hotel, which was why the ghost could appear.
However,
it was sunny outside. How could she dare to go out?
I patted my thigh
when
I knew I was tricked. I hurriedly returned to the hotel. When I got there, the entire third floor was covered in a dark miasma. People were screaming inside.
I rush to the third floor to rescue the people trapped in the dark miasma. Then, I returned to that room.
Without the talisman, she wa
s no longer scared of m
e. She reached out her hands
and rolled
her eyes at me.
I hated that I couldn’t just slap myself.
Why did
I do
such a careless
thing
and
released her?!
Anyway, this ghost wanted to kill her
savior
, so s
he
wouldn’t
have
a
bright future. I happened to have a bag of rooster blood mixed with cinnabar left from Aji’s case. I didn’t show mercy
and splashed
the mixture on her.
“A
hhh
!” The ghost shot to the ground as though she was electrified. She screamed and screeched, but I
didn’t have any
sympathy for her now. I threw the Yin and Yang Umbrella on her and read the activating spell. I didn’t stop reading the spell until she had turned into ashes.
When I
went
downstairs, I saw the two young women at the front desk
whispering
to each other again. They seemed to be discussing how bad the ghost was.
I pouted. Humans’ hearts were more frightening than ghosts. However, people could hide their hearts while ghosts couldn’t…
