The Host in Quick Transmigration Always Wants to Break Her Character
Chapter 114 The Educated Youth Tricked into Going to the Countryside (8)
Immediately, the white-clad female ghost floated out of the room, and after a while, more than a dozen ghosts followed her to Lin Jingyi's bedside.
Lin Jingyi was already asleep, and asked the system to keep an eye on the female ghost and wake her up at any time.
A dozen ghosts filled the room, and one of them kept giving Liu Jia nightmares.
After hearing the description from the white-clad female ghost, they tried to influence Lin Jingyi's mental power, but all of them were blocked by the barrier set up by Lin Jingyi.
The yin energy in this world isn't very strong, so these ghosts aren't that powerful.
[Host, wake up, ghosts are here.] The system felt a chill run down its spine when it saw that the entire room was filled with ghosts, and quickly woke Lin Jingyi up.
After hearing the system's voice, Lin Jingyi used his divine sense to look around and saw fifteen ghosts, including men, women, the old, and the young.
Lin Jingyi sat up.
"Ah!" A little ghost was quite close to Lin Jingyi and was startled when it saw Lin Jingyi suddenly stand up.
He quickly hid behind.
Looking at the dozen or so ghosts in front of him, Lin Jingyi could tell that their souls were relatively pure and had not yet been tainted by human lives.
So, what Master Zhao said about those terrifying people has nothing to do with these ghosts; it might just be a rumor.
Although they attacked Liu Jia and his group, it didn't seem like they intended to kill them.
Lin Jingyi's fear disappeared.
"Why are you scaring them?" Lin Jingyi looked at the wary ghost in front of him and straightened his body.
The ghosts exchanged glances, and finally an old male ghost spoke.
“Young lady, this is our Ding family’s residence. We died at the hands of the villagers, and it is already merciful of our Ding family not to take their lives.”
"These days, they're even targeting our homes! Let's just scare them a little and give us some peace and quiet."
The old male ghost looked furious.
The faces of the group of ghosts behind them were almost the same.
“We are not from Zhao Family Village. The game of Dou Dizhu has been discontinued outside. We are educated youth from the city. There aren’t many empty rooms in the village, and this place is empty, so we thought we’d stay here.”
Lin Jingyi explained upon hearing this.
When they heard Lin Jingyi say that she wasn't from Zhao Family Village, the ghosts' expressions softened considerably, and their initial indifference disappeared.
"Even so, the Ding family is a family that does not seek worldly gain and does not want any further involvement with outsiders. We do not wish for you to disturb us."
The old man still refused with a serious expression.
"I will leave after staying for a while. I don't want to have too much involvement with outsiders. I will leave when I find the opportunity. I hope you can do me a favor."
As Lin Jingyi spoke, he removed the barrier and bowed sincerely to the ghosts.
Seeing Lin Jingyi's move, the ghosts behind the old man began to whisper among themselves.
The old man could sense the energy fluctuations from Lin Jingyi removing the barrier, and looked at Lin Jingyi with a wary expression.
"May I ask who you are, young lady?"
"My name is Lin Jingyi. I was entrusted by Xia Lin to come to this world to avenge my family."
Lin Jingyi adopted an air of superiority, releasing his oppressive aura before withdrawing it shortly afterward.
She just wanted to let a few ghosts experience her power so they wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.
Although she was confident in facing one ghost, a dozen or so... she was still a little scared.
Right now, the only thing to do is to subdue the ghosts.
The old man cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Jingyi, his face also serious.
"Lin... is Senior a human or a ghost?"
The old man didn't know how to address Lin Jingyi. Ghosts aren't known by their appearance; rather, their age is determined by their age before and after death.
Although this person named Lin Jingyi is inside Xia Lin's body, they don't know whether the other person is a human or a ghost.
"Naturally, they are souls. Otherwise, how could I see you?" Lin Jingyi's expression remained expressionless as he calmly retorted.
"Then why are you inside this girl's body, sister? Can we also possess someone and become human like this?" The one speaking was the white-clad female ghost who had first come to Lin Jingyi's room to scare Liu Jia.
She's been a ghost for decades, hasn't seen the sun in a long time, and doesn't even know what it feels like to be human anymore.
Seeing that Lin Jingyi was a soul in a human body, I couldn't help but want to learn from him.
Anyway, those people outside owe them something, so what's wrong with possessing someone?
Lin Jingyi shook his head, his expression somewhat grave:
"No, I have a contract with Charlene, and I must help her fulfill her wish. It's not as simple as possession."
"Oh..." Upon hearing Lin Jingyi's reply, the white-clad female ghost lowered her head, her tone somewhat disappointed.
"Is this how you cultivate, young lady?" The old man's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. Since his family became ghosts, their soul power was initially quite strong, but as time went by, their soul power was slowly diminishing.
If one can cultivate oneself, then whether one is a human or a ghost, as long as the family is together, it is another way of living.
"More or less, but my cultivation method is rather unique, and I don't have any cultivation techniques."
Lin Jingyi had seen ghost cultivation techniques before, but there wasn't much ghost energy in this world.
The world is slowly evolving.
As the world gradually evolves into a technological world, metaphysics and science are opposing forces. If this world is to evolve into a technological world, then metaphysics will eventually disappear.
The souls before her, if they do not reincarnate, will eventually dissipate from this world.
The ghosts' expressions changed from anticipation to disappointment.
"I need to stay here now. If you are willing, you can ask me if you have any needs or questions."
Lin Jingyi also planned to negotiate with them peacefully, but if they were unwilling, a violent solution was also an option.
"Grandpa...it would be nice to have someone to talk to us about the outside world," the white-clad female ghost said to the old man.
Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Lin Jingyi.
“You can stay here, but the others…” Although the old man didn’t really want Lin Jingyi to stay here, he couldn’t do anything about it. His granddaughter seemed to like this girl quite a bit, so he could only nod in agreement.
However, the other humans traveling with them were neither spirits nor people from Zhao Family Village.
Living in the Ding residence for a long time inevitably leads to the entry of yin energy into the body.
Seeing that the old man had relented, Lin Jingyi quickly expressed his agreement.
"The others have nothing to do with me, and some of them are the targets of my revenge for Charlene. Do whatever you want."
Even though the others were not capable of knowing, they also knew that this was a haunted house.
I'd rather live in a nicer place and have more freedom, but I have to face the potential fears.
They also did not want to live in the villagers' homes.
If you scare them a little, they'll behave.
"In that case, I shall take my leave now." With that, the old man led the group of younger men away.
The white-clad female ghost is still in this room.
Lin Jingyi sat on the bed, looking at the white-clad female ghost in front of him, and asked in confusion:
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Upon hearing this, the female ghost in white gestured towards Liu Jia with her lip: "Look, that woman... is my mission tonight."
Originally, Charlene was also part of her task for tonight, but she couldn't handle her, nor could her grandfather. They could see her even without her making a special appearance.
That's really impressive.
As the female ghost spoke, she floated to Liu Jia's bedside, where Liu Jia was frantically waving her limbs.
Lin Jingyi twitched her lips. A coward couldn't withstand such a scare, but she didn't intend to stop her.
"Sister Lin... how long have you been dead?" The female ghost's face was pale. She sat on Liu Jia's bed with her legs not touching the ground, and was slowly swaying.
Remembering that the woman sitting in front of him was also a spirit, it made sense that her spiritual power couldn't affect the other party.
"Um... you should just call me Xia Lin, after all, the owner of this body is named Xia Lin. It's been about a hundred years..." Lin Jingyi didn't bother to count how long he had been doing the mission.
Having lived so long in the apocalypse, plus the previous worlds, she must be older than the white-clad female ghost.
"Sister Xia, my name is Ding Shiyao," the female ghost introduced herself to Lin Jingyi with a smile.
Lin Jingyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Shiyao, keep it down, I'm going to sleep." Lin Jingyi lay down and said to Ding Shiyao, as he had to work in the fields tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Ding Shiyao covered Liu Jia's mouth with her hand, continuously affecting her mental strength and causing her to have nightmares.
“Okay, Sister Xia.” Ding Shiyao looked to be no more than a teenager, covering Liu Jia’s mouth and laughing innocently.
[System, keep an eye on things for me, I need to sleep.] This body is too tired. Lin Jingyi came over at 3 a.m. yesterday, and I was woken up at 6 a.m. the next day. I can't hold on any longer.
[...Okay.] The system originally wanted to refuse, but didn't want to argue with Lin Jingyi. Fortunately, he had nothing else to do, so he agreed.
Lin Jing slept soundly through the night without any dreams, until dawn.
She was awakened by screams outside.
Sitting up, Ding Shiyao realized she had left the room at some point, and the ghosts in the other rooms outside were also gone.
Song Xiaoxiao's voice was very loud, as if she had been greatly frightened, and she was still screaming.
Liu Jia, standing next to her, also looked like she was having a nightmare, her brows furrowed, fine beads of sweat appearing, and her hair soaked and matted.
His head was shaking nervously from side to side, and he kept uttering words like "help" and "no".
"Comrades, wake up!" The village chief's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
Lin Jingyi got up and woke Liu Jia up. When he went downstairs, several male educated youths were already outside.
Lin Jingyi looked around and saw that, apart from Liu Jia, the other educated youth had dark circles under their eyes and bloodshot streaks in the whites of their eyes.
Looks like she didn't sleep well.
In fact, the others did not sleep well, had nightmares all night, and woke up feeling like they had been in a fight, as if their bones were about to fall apart.
I had finally started to get used to the ghosts in my dream when I woke up.
Liu Jia was unconscious for a whole night. While unconscious or asleep, everyone's mental energy was relatively concentrated, and they were all more or less affected by the ghost. Although Liu Jia had a nightmare, she woke up quickly.
Others experienced sleep paralysis, initially having nightmares, then waking up to see a ghost walking back and forth in front of their bed, getting closer and closer.
Everyone was conscious but unable to move, watching helplessly as the ghost drew closer.
Therefore, I struggled to wake up all night and didn't sleep well.
Therefore, when they saw the village chief in the morning, they all looked dejected and listless.
Thinking that everyone else is like this, I'm a little afraid that the rumors circulating in the house are true.
But they didn't want to be the first to admit their fear, so they suppressed their fear and let others speak first.
In the end, no one spoke up, and they could only follow the village chief to work in the fields with dark circles under their eyes.
