Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 11: 011: Ghost - Fang Caiyi

The thick night sky seemed to cover the entire Ruan residence. There were no shining stars in the sky, and even the moon was hidden in the clouds.

The red lantern hung above Little Stone's head, emitting only a faint light that seemed unable to suppress the darkness.

Lin Beixuan rushed towards Xiao Shitou, but felt an inexplicable force pulling him from behind, preventing him from getting closer.

Xiao Shitou's condition was obviously abnormal. The oil in the lantern seemed to be about to burn out, and the boundary between the yin and yang houses could no longer be distinguished. The surroundings were gloomy and the temperature had dropped several degrees compared to before.

If he died, it would be fine. At most he could be resurrected and start over again. But when ordinary people died, they were really dead.

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan suddenly became furious, a fierce look flashed between his brows, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Fuck you, if the tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a good person?"

As he spoke, Lin Beixuan turned around and grabbed the white shadow floating behind him.

[…You encounter a special target: the vengeful spirit - Fang Caiyi.]

[The ghost illustration is opened, and the ghost information is successfully unlocked. 】

[Ghost: You come into contact with and fight against the ghost Fang Caiyi, and successfully copy her ability - Blue Butterfly Colorful Cloud Step.]

[Grudge spirits: Ghosts that suffered injustice during their lifetime or have unfulfilled wishes and whose souls linger after death. Ghosts that hold grudges will bring misfortune and disaster to people. Prolonged contact will shorten one's lifespan.]

[Ability: Blue Butterfly Colorful Cloud Step (White)]

[Introduction: Her body is like a blue butterfly, her steps are like a demon, she is as graceful as a flying swallow, and she has studied dance for more than ten years. This is Fang Caidie's unique light step skill, which makes her body light, lightness +1, speed +1. ]

Information flashed across the panel quickly, and a familiar yet unfamiliar memory flowed into his mind.

She was a beautiful girl who was sold to a brothel by a human trafficker when she was young. Because of her good looks, she was taken in by the brothel owner to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Unfortunately, she was stupid and found it very difficult to learn these things, but she had some talent for dancing.

After practicing hard every day for several years, he finally became a good dancer and gained some fame.

However, in a brothel, being a good dancer alone will not keep you going long. The patrons like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they love to talk about beautiful articles.

So before long, her name was taken off the top list and she became an ordinary prostitute.

But even so, she did not give up her study of dancing. She watched the butterflies fluttering among the flowers, incorporated this feeling into her steps, and created a dance that was unique to her.

Once this dance was released, she quickly regained the top spot, and her fame even surpassed that of the most popular courtesan several times.

However, at this time, a man appeared. He was handsome and a famous talent in the county. She soon fell in love with him.

But unexpectedly, this turned out to be a conspiracy set up by the courtesan.

The man coaxed her out, took her to the wilderness and abandoned her. Not long after, several homeless people showed up and not only raped her, but also killed her. They dug out her heart, liver and internal organs and took them away, leaving her body to be devoured by wild dogs...

The scene ends here, and the strange memory shatters like glass in an instant, with the woman's miserable face reflected on every piece of glass.

Her eyes were red and tears of blood were flowing from the corners of her eyes.

She hated that man and the cruelty of the world. She would rather turn into a vengeful spirit than let her spirit disappear into the world.

"call……"

Lin Beixuan let out a long breath, opened his eyes instantly, grabbed the white shadow and pulled it in front of him, then kicked it hard.

The kick was light and nimble, yet contained brute force. It was kicked into the air and seemed to have hit some soft object, which bounced back slightly.

"what!"

The next second, a shrill scream of a female ghost was heard in the air.

"Did I kick him?" Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange. He didn't expect that he actually kicked the other person. Isn't it said that ghosts have no physical form?

Although I took a quick look at Fang Caiyi's memory, I found her life story to be quite pitiful.

But what does the other person's pity have to do with him!
Just because you are pitiful, you have a reason to harm me? Instead of seeking revenge on the people who harmed you, you harm those innocent people who have never harmed you. What's wrong with that?
"It's ridiculous."

Lin Beixuan snorted coldly. He didn't care about Fang Caiyi for the time being. He quickly ran to Xiao Shitou, stepped on the stool where he was sitting, took down the red lantern, and added wax into it.

With the addition of wax, the flame in the lantern burned vigorously again, and the lantern became a little brighter.

As the light shone in all directions, the coldness around slowly receded and the temperature seemed to return to normal.

Hanging the lantern high, Lin Beixuan stood below, glanced at the boundless darkness around him, and said in a deep voice.

"The living live in the Yang, and the dead live in the Yin. I don't know if you still have reason, but I hope you don't break the existing rules."

After these words were spoken, Lin Beixuan felt that the vague feeling of being watched on him had faded a lot.

Slightly relieved, he looked at the small stone beside him and reached out to pat the other person's face. However, he found that no matter how he called out, the other person's eyes were still dull and his pupils were dilated.

It was a bit like the signs in the movies he had seen where three souls were taken away by ghosts.

Lin Beixuan frowned and carried Xiao Shitou to the small bed in the lounge next to him.

"What time is it now?"

The biggest problem for modern people traveling back to ancient times, apart from the lack of toilet paper, is probably not knowing the exact time. Especially on a night like this when there are no stars in the sky, one can only guess what time it is.

I don’t know if Xiao Shitou’s condition can be delayed. If he has really lost his soul, it will be hard to guarantee his survival if it’s too late.

Lin Beixuan tilted his head and looked through the sky into the thick darkness; there was no sign of the sky getting brighter.

The Red Lantern had just been refueled and seemed to be relatively stable. There shouldn't be any problems for the time being.

He was about to return to the inner house and asked the housekeeper to come and take a look.

Among the people he has come into contact with so far, apart from the doorman, Old Man Wu, the butler is the most mysterious one.

In this chaotic world, people are accustomed to evil spirits. Although they are very afraid of evil spirits when talking about them, they definitely do not feel unfamiliar with them.

So judging from the current situation, calling talents is the best option.

Lin Beixuan used the Blue Butterfly Colorful Cloud Steps he had just acquired, and his body became very light. Each step he took was equivalent to the distance of the previous two or three steps.

But in the quiet and dark corridor, it was difficult to see the scene ahead, and I could only walk forward in the dark.

Although the Ruan family's house was built in the countryside, it covered a very large area, which was definitely the standard of a wealthy family. Therefore, the route was complicated. Lin Beixuan moved forward bit by bit according to his memory of the way here.

But his mouth was not idle either, he started shouting words like "help" and "help".

Logically speaking, although the Ruan family is large, his voice should attract a lot of people's attention, but Lin Beixuan found that no matter how he shouted, the surroundings were quiet, as if his shouting did not alarm anyone at all.

"I remember the housekeeper ordered Ma San and Zhao Fu to patrol the inner courtyard. I called them for so long, there's no way they didn't hear me."

Lin Beixuan was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. The voice was old and hoarse, and it was the voice of the butler.

"What are you shouting about, what happened?"

When Lin Beixuan heard the voice, his face lit up with joy and he was about to turn around immediately, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered what the doorman, Old Man Wu, had said before he left.

In an instant, a chill rose from the end of his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily and his body became stiff.
