Chapter 2386 - I've Never Killed Anyone

It was just a thought. He didn't actually think it could be true.

Gu Ning gave him a meaningful glance, then nodded. "Yeah."

Tang Jiakai rounded his eyes in shock. He focused on Gu Ning's face, trying to see whether she was just joking. However, Gu Ning was very serious.

"I-It's true?" Tang Jiakai's face turned deathly pale and he began to tremble in horror.

"Yes." Gu Ning said, "Don't worry, it's fine since I'm here."

Tang Jiakai was more surprised. How could Gu Ning stay so calm even though she knew there was a ghost? Why did she say that it would be fine since she was here? How strong was she? She wasn't afraid of ghosts at all! Was Gu Ning just joking?

Tang Jiakai was full of questions, but his throat was too dry to make a sound.

When the male ghost floating above the grave heard Gu Ning's words, it turned to look at Gu Ning coldly and began to observe her.

Was she joking with Tang Jiakai by saying that there was a ghost? If she meant it, could she see the ghost? And if it was true, why wasn't she scared? Who was she? What did she do? Was she a threat?

Thinking of that, the male ghost became alert.

If she was an ordinary human, the ghost wouldn't be afraid, but she couldn't be an ordinary human if she meant what she said.

"Follow close behind me," Gu Ning said to Tang Jiakai. If any accidents happened, she could quickly protect him.

Although the ghost wasn't very aggressive, Gu Ning didn't want Tang Jiakai to be in danger.

Moreover, even if the ghost wasn't very aggressive and Gu Ning could easily catch it, she couldn't destroy it right away. She had to help the two boys out of its trap first.

If she didn't save the two boys, they might be trapped in different s.p.a.ces even after the male ghost was destroyed.

The only way to save the two boys was to persuade the male ghost to let them out.

If Gu Ning wanted to do that, she had to figure out the grudge between them. Only when Gu Ning solved the problem could the male ghost let go of his obsession.

"Sure." Tang Jiakai agreed and followed close behind Gu Ning.

He was a grown man and it was embarra.s.sing that he hid behind a girl, but Gu Ning was much stronger than him! She was his idol, so he didn't care whether it was embarra.s.sing or not. Besides, his life was more important than his face.

There might be a ghost! It was scary enough when he had just heard about it, so he was afraid that he might be scared to death if he really saw it.

After that, Gu Ning walked towards the grave. She stopped two meters away from it, then met the ghost's eyes.

The male ghost wasn't sure that Gu Ning could really see it until she stared straight at it. Instantly, the ghost became even more alert.

"What do you want?" Gu Ning asked straight to the point.

Tang Jiakai and the male ghost were amazed by Gu Ning's question. Even the two boys who were trapped were surprised. However, they could only hear a girl's voice, but couldn't see anyone, so they were scared and trembled in horror.

Was it a female ghost?

"Who? Who is talking?"

The two trapped boys shouted at the same time, but only Gu Ning and the male ghost could hear them.

"Ningning, w-who are you talking to?" Tang Jiakai asked. Could it be a ghost? He thought to himself. He couldn't see anything and only saw Gu Ning talking to the grave.

Was it because

Tang Jiakai suddenly rounded his eyes in shock. Was there a ghost in this grave? Was Gu Ning talking to the ghost?

The next second, Tang Jiakai's face turned pale and he trembled heavily.

"You can see me?" The male ghost was taken aback. Although he had thought about it earlier, he was still astonished when she stared straight at it and talked to it.

"Right." Gu Ning replied to the male ghost, but didn't answer Tang Jiakai's question. "What do you want? Can you let them go?" she asked again.

"Who? Who is talking?" The two trapped boys continued to shout.

Was there someone talking to them? Let them go? Why? They had done nothing!

"Let them go? Impossible! If it hadn't been for Chen Yuxi, I wouldn't have been killed!" the male ghost said emotionally, showing his deep hatred.

"If your death is caused by Chen Yuxi, how about the other boy? Why did you trap him too?" Gu Ning asked.

She wasn't sure whether it was true that Chen Yuxi caused the male ghost's death. It could be true, but it could also just be a misunderstanding.

Hearing Gu Ning's words, both Tang Jiakai and the two boys were scared.

Whose death was caused by Chen Yuxi? Who had Chen Yuxi killed?

Because Gu Ning was talking to the ghost in the grave and it was Chen Yuxi's friend who was buried inside, Tang Jiakai thought that the dead person might have a relations.h.i.+p with Chen Yuxi.

However, in his eyes, Chen Yuxi was a good boy. He shouldn't have committed any crimes.

People shouldn't judge a person from his appearance, but Tang Jiakai still refused to believe that Chen Yuxi was a criminal.

"Because he's also involved," said the male ghost.

"No, I've never killed anyone. I've never killed anyone!"

One of the two trapped boys argued at once when he heard Gu Ning's words.

He was Chen Yuxi.

"Chen Yuxi, how did the person in this grave die?" Gu Ning asked. She couldn't jump to conclusions just because of the male ghost's words.

Hearing that, Tang Jiakai was sure that Gu Ning was indeed talking to the grave, or to be specific, the ghost in the grave.

He couldn't find his two friends because the ghost stopped him from doing so. The ghost believed that it was Chen Yuxi who caused its death.

Tang Jiakai wasn't certain, but he felt it was unbelievable.

Anyway, Gu Ning was asking Chen Yuxi. Did that mean that Chen Yuxi was nearby?
