Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

Looking at Lei Liyan's old face with a pitiful expression of tears in his eyes, He Ling silently poured him another glass. Lei Liyan looked at He Ling with gratitude. If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to pour a second glass for others with such good wine.

After Lei Liyan finished his second glass, He Ling poured him another. Lei Liyan raised his eyebrows, but this time he didn't look at the glass. He looked at He Ling and said, "Sister Ling'er, please tell me the truth. Although I think I have some abilities, if something goes too far beyond common sense, I can't do anything."

He Ling didn't hesitate and directly told him about choosing a Feng Shui treasure land for the dog. When Lei Liyan heard that it was such a small matter, he was about to agree, but then he frowned again for some reason.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said, "Sister Ling'er, I had no problem agreeing to you before, but now, Yangshui County is a little uneasy."

He Ling became curious. Although Lei Liyan had been the chief constable from the very beginning, he was a gangster before. Some famous bandits were even his friends. They dared to take action in Lei Liyan's territory. Perhaps they didn't want to stay in the gang anymore?

"Captain Lei, I saw you looking so worried and anxious earlier. What's going on?"

Lei Liyan then said, "Recently, there have been a number of missing persons cases in Yangshui County, ranging from young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families to ordinary people, both men and women, who have disappeared one after another."

"How many people are there?"

"Since February, as of today, there have been over 180 people here."

He Ling frowned slightly. It was only June, meaning that over the past four months, an average of 45 people had disappeared each month. This was no small matter, and such a large number didn't sound like something humanly possible.

"Has the body been found?"

Lei Liyan shook his head. "That's what's strange. These missing people, no one has found them alive, no one has found their bodies after they died. Even some wealthy families are willing to pay a large sum of money to redeem their children, but there's no movement at all."

"And when I went to investigate the scene, I couldn't find any trace of anything. It was as if the person had simply disappeared into thin air."

This matter sounded too bizarre, and He Ling was not sure whether it was man-made. She poured herself a glass of spirit wine and took a sip of the fragrant wine. "Captain Lei, you have told me so much today, I am afraid you have something to ask of you."

Lei Liyan felt a little embarrassed when he saw that he had been exposed. "Sister Ling'er, logically speaking, since I drank your wine, it is only natural for me to help you with such a small matter. However, the situation is special now. I also know that you are extraordinary, Sister Ling'er. I just want to let Sister Ling'er see if there is anything 'dirty'."

He Ling drank all the spiritual wine in the cup, twirling it gently with his fingers. After thinking for a while, he said, "Captain Lei, I don't want to get involved in this matter. I came to Yangshui County only to fulfill this long-cherished wish. I will leave after that."

Lei Liyan was a little disappointed.

But He Ling's voice sounded again.

"However, it's not impossible to ask for my help."

"only."

Lei Liyan repeated, "Just?"

"You have to pay more."

..................

It was already evening, and Lei Liyan and He Ling had already left the Chunshui Teahouse.

Lei Liyan was about to say goodbye when he suddenly thought of something. "Oh, Sister Ling'er, you just returned to Yangshui County, so you probably don't have a place to stay. Would you like to stay at my mansion?"

He Ling shook her head. "Oh, Captain Lei, I lived in that courtyard back then. Is anyone still living there now?"

"Where?" Lei Liyan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sister Ling'er, do you know where the first person disappeared?"

He Ling was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned grim. "Could it be Wanglai Street?"

Lei Liyan nodded. "There have been many strange incidents on Wanglai Street. Neighbors have been saying it's haunted, and now no one lives there."

After Lei Liyan finished speaking, he saw He Ling's brows furrowed a little more, as if she was thinking about something, "Sister Ling'er?"

He Ling was still thinking about something, "No need, I'd better go and take a look."

She remembered that there was a magical jujube tree in the small courtyard where she used to live. Could it be this? He Ling was also a little uncertain, but she wanted to go and take a look at Wanglai Street.

The further she walked towards Wanglai Street, the fewer people there were. When she walked into Wanglai Street, she saw a layer of fine dust in front of her, obviously no one had been there for a long time.

"Qing'er." He Ling called out.

A small green snake came out from He Ling's sleeve. He Ling picked it up and put it on his neck. The perception of spiritual beasts is much stronger than that of cultivators. Although according to common sense, even if some evil spirit was born here, it would not be He Ling's opponent, but it is better to be careful.

After thinking for a while, He Ling took out two more talismans in his hand. They were the thunder talismans seized from the skinny man in black. Thunder and lightning have a strong restraining effect on evil spirits, and He Ling happened to use them at this moment.

After taking two steps, He Ling thought for a moment, took out a golden bell bracelet from the storage bag, hung it on his hand, and then started moving forward again.

The whole journey was very peaceful and nothing happened. It was just a little quiet, or too quiet.

Suddenly, there was a sound like knocking on the door, "Bang, bang, bang."

There was a sound like something hitting something. He Ling's expression remained unchanged, but there were a few more black talismans in his hand. Qing'er was hanging around He Ling's neck, without any movement.

When He Ling finally arrived at the courtyard, she saw that the situation was completely different from what she had imagined.

In the courtyard, there is a towering tree whose crown covers the entire courtyard. Brown branches hang down from the crown, like a brown scarf, wrapping the entire courtyard.

At the door of the courtyard, there was a figure that was soaked all over and was constantly banging his head against the door.

Although there was no water here, water kept coming out of the figure. Its whole body was soaked. It was wearing a long robe, with only a pair of purple and swollen feet exposed.

He Ling looked at it for a while. The figure seemed like a robot, repeatedly banging its head against the door.

After waiting for a while, seeing the same scene, He Ling lost his patience and gently threw out a black talisman. The black talisman flipped half a circle in the air and turned into a small golden sword in the blink of an eye.

Xiaojian's speed was extremely fast. In just a moment, the figure that looked like a water ghost was immediately separated from its head and body.
