Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 37: Infant Spirit

"call……"

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lin Beixuan covered his forehead with his hands, looking somewhat helpless.

"It's all right now. I'll take my leave now."

Mr. Huang Ba bowed his hands. Although his appearance had become more shabby, he could not hide the scholarly air that emanated from his behavior.

It's obvious that he is a studious weasel.

Watching Mr. Huang leave and gradually disappear into the darkness, the old beggar sighed silently, rubbed his body and stood up.

Huangpi people are born with the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and are extremely sensitive to the arrival of disasters. The fact that Huangpi people and their families can be forced to move out of Huangshi Village means that there is a high probability that something big enough to destroy the village will happen in the future.

Considering what Lin Beixuan said about starving ghosts appearing around the village, it seems that the omen is indeed coming true.

The old beggar seemed to have become even older in an instant, and there was a bit more sadness in his originally demented eyes. He turned his head to look at Lin Beixuan and opened his mouth.

"you……"

However, before he could finish his words, a miserable ghostly voice suddenly rang out in the silent night and spread throughout the village.

"what!!!"

The ghosts wandering on the streets in the village were frightened after hearing the voice. They trembled and looked in the direction where the voice came from, as if something extremely terrifying was being born there.

In fear, these ghosts ran around the streets like a group of headless flies. Some of them directly burrowed into the mud that bred evil spirits, while others simply left the village in the dark.

Lin Beixuan looked up and found that the voice came from the Ruan family, and it came from the back house of the Ruan family.

"This is Madam Li's voice."

Lin Beixuan frowned. Even if Madam Li didn't die in the fight with Taoist Akagi, she should have suffered serious injuries. But although the other party was screaming at this time, there was a terrifying deterrent in his voice, which was even more terrifying than the first time he met the other party.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Lin Beixuan walked towards the direction of Ruan's house. At this time, the old beggar's face showed a rare look of confusion, and he quietly followed Lin Beixuan.

Seeing the old beggar following him, Lin Beixuan didn't say anything. He hoped that the other party could come with him. If he was really in danger, the other party might be able to save his life at the critical moment.

According to his original idea, he planned to improve the quality of his fate tomorrow and then return to the Ruan family for revenge, but now it seems that he can't wait until tomorrow.

When he arrived outside the Ruan family's house, Lin Beixuan saw that the lanterns in front of the Ruan family's gate had been extinguished one after another. They were swaying in the night wind, as if they were about to fall down. A gap was opened from the inside of the dark main door, and the Ruan family's door was pushed open with a slight push.

Lin Beixuan stepped inside and immediately felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards him, as if it was going to blow his soul away.

"What on earth has happened to this Madam Li that she has turned the Ruan family into this state in just two days?"

Lin Beixuan swallowed and looked at the scene inside the house in disbelief.

I saw the screen at the entrance fallen to the ground, the beautifully trimmed flowers withered, and several people lying stiffly on the ground, their hands reaching out towards the door, fear in their eyes.

But they are all dead!
There is a fist-sized blood hole in the chest of these people. The heart inside is gone, and the scene behind them can be seen through the chest.

Including the doorman named Wu, who he thought had a lot of experience and should have many skills. He was now leaning against the pillar next to him and was no longer making any sound.

"hiss"

Lin Beixuan couldn't help but take a breath and was shocked by the scene before him.

Although the scene here is not as good as the bloody table used by the evil henchmen to seduce people, it is filled with a chilling feeling that makes people tremble. These people were stabbed through the heart and died at the last moment before escaping from the Ruan family. It is not difficult to see their unwillingness from their eyes that were still wide open until death.

Along the way, there were corpses of people who died unwillingly everywhere.

After looking around, Lin Beixuan didn't find the small stone in there, and he felt a little relieved.

Xiao Shitou was the first person he met who had good intentions towards him after he entered the secular world. Although he was only ten years old, he had experienced a lot of hardships and was much more mature than his peers.

The old beggar carefully walked over the stiff corpse at his feet and looked towards the Ruan family's backyard shrouded in darkness, his eyes filled with deep worry.

Lin Beixuan looked at it in confusion and walked towards the backyard in the dark.

Walking through the corridor, there is still the familiar rockery, but now it has become even more weird. A huge crack has split in the middle, filled with countless broken limbs and arms. Blood flows down the crack and gathers into a pool of blood on the ground.

He had felt that this rockery was abnormal before, but he didn't expect that there were so many corpses hidden inside.

I learned earlier from Climbing Walls that the third young master of the Ruan family was a mentally abnormal person who never treated his servants as human beings. I never expected it to be to this extent.

As for why I didn’t suspect Madam Li?

That's because ghosts don't have the leisure time or artistic talent to make a rockery out of corpses.

Not long after, Lin Beixuan heard the faint voice of Taoist Akagi coming from the direction of the back house.

……

"Great! You, the Ruan family, are really amazing. You actually use everyone in the house to raise such a thing. Aren't you afraid that the people in the government office will find out?"

"Hehehe... The world is in such a mess right now, who would be willing to take care of the affairs of this small village? Not to mention that the Qingzhou government office can barely protect itself now, so where can we send people?"

The other person who spoke was an old female voice, speaking slowly and she seemed to not care at all about Akagi Michiru's questioning.

Lin Beixuan listened to the conversation between the two and walked forward quietly, but he did not notice that after the female voice sounded, the pupils of the old beggar behind him shrank instantly.

The conversation inside was still going on, and Akagi Michiru's tone became very angry.

"I thought you were a good family that was harmed by evil spirits. If you were raising this thing on purpose, why did you call me over to Senluo Temple?"

"I called you here for a purpose. There aren't enough people in the house, so we still need a few to make up the numbers. You cultivators who have touched the threshold to enter the house have strong blood and energy, and are the best candidates for blood sacrifice. The talents of the infant spirits born will naturally be stronger."

"I see... Hahaha, I didn't expect that even an upright person like me, Akagi Michi, would be schemed against one day. However, if you think I will let you control me so easily, you are wrong!"

"Open and aboveboard? Don't try to deceive an old woman like me. Others may not know, but I know how many people have been harmed by the dirty things you have done."

In the backyard, Taoist Akagi and the old female voice were mocking each other. Lin Beixuan listened and paid attention to the infant spirit that the old woman mentioned.

Could it be that what that person was raising was actually an infant spirit?

Recalling how Madam Li looked when she was pregnant, Lin Beixuan found it a little unbelievable.

In the past, I had only heard of countries in the real world raising ghosts, but that was just hearsay after all. I never expected that it would actually happen in the secular world.

Madam Li is a ghost herself, and the baby spirit was born from Madam Li's pregnancy. The whole family was sacrificed with blood, and a ghost was used to raise a ghost. Which normal person can do such a thing?
