Under Xiao Li's guidance, Lin Han quickly left the hospital and headed for the old house in the suburbs. Along the way, Xiao Li introduced Lin Han to some legends and supernatural events in the old house. The two talked freely and had a great time.

After over an hour's drive, they finally arrived at the old house. It was an ancient quadrangle courtyard, built of blue bricks and gray tiles, simple and elegant. But now, under the setting sun, it exuded a gloomy atmosphere.

Lin Han took a deep breath and said to Xiao Li, "Wait here for me. I'll go in alone."

"But..." Xiao Li hesitated a little, but when he saw Lin Han's determined eyes, he didn't say anything and just stood silently at the door.

"Crench--!"

Lin Han pushed open the heavy door of the old house, and a cold wind blew towards him, mixed with a faint smell of mold and an indescribable strange atmosphere.

"Jie Jie..."

At this moment, a strange laugh suddenly rang out, echoing in the empty courtyard. It seemed to come from all directions at the same time, and as if it came from deep underground, making people shudder.

Seeing this, Lin Han curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, and said to himself: It seems that there are indeed some unclean things here, quite interesting...

"My dear, come here quickly... come here quickly! I can't wait to serve you!" At this moment, a woman in ancient costume suddenly appeared in front of him. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, her dress was flowing, and her face was charming, but her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they had lost all their vitality. She stretched out her pale jade-like hand and gently beckoned to Lin Han, her voice charming and strange.

Lin Han's eyes flashed. He knew that the ghostly woman in front of him must be the culprit who had taken away Long Xiaoyu's soul and caused him to fall into a coma.

Thinking of this, Lin Han raised the corner of his mouth with an imperceptible teasing arc, and quickly pretended to be in a trance, and walked slowly towards the ghost woman.

As Lin Han approached, a strange smile appeared on the ghost woman's face, as if she had already seen her prey that was about to be caught.

However, just as she was about to touch Lin Han, Lin Han suddenly dodged her touch.

The ghost woman obviously didn't expect Lin Han to react like this. Her expression instantly became ferocious, and her voice became sharp and piercing: "Why don't you let me deceive you?"

Lin Han smiled slightly and said calmly: "Sister, with your looks, you still want to seduce me? How ridiculous!"

I advise you to look in the mirror. You look so dead. Fortunately, I didn’t eat too much for dinner, otherwise I would have vomited..."

[From the female ghost's resentment value +]

Hearing Lin Han's ridicule, the female ghost was obviously extremely angry. She screamed, and her body instantly became twisted. A gloomy black air emanated from her, shrouding the entire courtyard in darkness.

"Hmph, you think you can trap me with such a trivial trick?" Lin Han faced the sudden darkness without any panic. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted a spell in a low voice.

As the spell was chanted, a golden light emanated from Lin Han's body. The darkness seemed to have met its nemesis and was instantly dispelled.

The female ghost's face changed drastically when she saw this. She hadn't expected Lin Han to be so powerful that he could even easily break through her dark domain. She was terrified, but now she was in a difficult position and could only bite the bullet and continue to attack.

She flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Lin Han. Lin Han smiled slightly, and flashed as well, easily avoiding her attack.

"Sister, your speed is not good enough. It seems you need to practice more." Lin Han did not forget to tease her while dodging the attack of the female ghost.

[From the female ghost's resentment value +]

The female ghost was so angry at Lin Han's words that she was fuming. She screamed and her body twisted again. An even stronger gust of cold wind blew out from her body, bringing with it a chilling chill, and headed straight for Lin Han.

"Heaven-defying Hand" Lin Han shouted softly, and a huge golden hand appeared out of thin air above the female ghost and grabbed her tightly.

"Boy... let me go..." The female ghost struggled in fear, but the big golden hand seemed to have infinite power, and no matter how she struggled, she could not break free.

"Sister, did you take away the soul of a young man a few days ago?" Lin Han asked coldly, and at the same time increased the strength of his golden hand, making the female ghost feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"I... I don't know... what you are talking about..." Although the female ghost was terrified, she still tried to deny it.

"Hmph, it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin." Lin Han sneered and flipped his palm lightly. Suddenly, the golden hand burst out with a dazzling light, and a powerful force instantly bound the female ghost and made her unable to move.

"Ah... don't... I'll say... I'll say..." The female ghost struggled painfully under the restraint of the golden big hand. Finally, she could not bear the pressure and began to beg for mercy.

"Tell me, where did you hide the soul of that young man?" Lin Han's eyes were like icicles in the cold winter, sharp and ruthless. He stared at the female ghost, his voice as cold as frost.

Bound by the golden hand, the female ghost said in a trembling voice, "I... I hid his soul in a jade bottle. It's in the northwest corner of the old house, where there's a withered old locust tree. The jade bottle is buried in the soil beneath the tree."

When Lin Han heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise..." He didn't finish his words, but the threat in his words was self-evident.

Seeing this, the female ghost quickly assured in a trembling voice: "I... I dare not lie to you, the jade bottle is really under the old locust tree."

"Okay, I hope so. Once I retrieve the jade bottle, I'll free you from this golden hand. Just a word of advice, don't try to play tricks on me, or else..." Lin Han glanced coldly at the female ghost, then turned and walked towards the northwest corner of the old house. The female ghost was bound to the spot by the golden hand, unable to move, and could only watch Lin Han leave.

Soon, Lin Han arrived at the northwest corner of the old house and, as expected, saw a withered old locust tree. The tree had been dead for years, but its branches still stood tall, as if telling of its former glory. Lin Han circled the old locust tree, finally stopping at a seemingly inconspicuous spot. He squatted down and gently dug up the soil with his hands. Soon, an exquisite jade vase appeared before his eyes.

Lin Han carefully picked up the jade bottle, which was crystal clear and radiated a faint jade light. He opened the bottle cap and a faint soul wave emanated from it. This was Long Xiaoyu's soul!
