Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 87: Tricked, Entering the Gap in the Ghost Realm
As for the three cultivators, they will likely be required to sign confidentiality agreements to ensure their safety.
After all, people who know too many secrets often bring disaster upon themselves.
However, this also made me more curious about Xiao Ke and Fei Ge. I wonder what kind of people they are?
Just as I was pondering these questions, the figure ahead seemed to have noticed my pursuit, began to change direction by turning left and right, and suddenly accelerated forward.
Clearly, they have discovered my presence and are trying to shake me off.
Seeing this, I didn't hesitate to increase my speed and closely follow that aura.
Finally, not far ahead, I vaguely saw a blurry figure.
However, when I tried to get closer to see clearly, the figure quickly disappeared from my sight.
My heart sank. Did the other party have some hidden tricks up their sleeve?
Just then, that aura reappeared, but this time it became even more elusive, as if it were deliberately guiding me to some place.
I realized that this might be a trap set by the other party, but I still decided to follow it and see where it was going to take me.
Soon, the scent led me to a dense forest. Here, the trees were tall and dense, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.
I carefully moved through the woods, keeping a watchful eye on my surroundings.
Suddenly, the aura stopped, and I slowed my pace. Not far ahead, I vaguely saw a blurry figure.
The figure stood there quietly, with its back to me, so I couldn't see its face.
But judging from the powerful aura emanating from him, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.
"You just wiped out all the evil spirits I raised, and even subdued that old woman and her corpse demon. You're certainly capable, but you're not qualified to fight me."
He spoke, and the voice was that of the mysterious person who had just given us the mission.
It turns out he'd been hiding in the shadows the whole time, not making a move, probably wanting to see what cards I had up my sleeve. Luckily, I had a trick up my sleeve. Well then, let's give it a try.
"You're the one with that voice from earlier, aren't you? What are you afraid of me for? If you're so tough, come out and fight me face to face!" I tried to provoke him.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Even if you can defeat me, you won't escape. My demonic realm has already enveloped this place. Hahaha..." He suddenly became excited, his laughter filled with smugness and madness.
My heart sank; it seemed this battle wouldn't be easy. I took a deep breath, secretly channeling my spiritual energy to prepare for his attack.
"Since that's the case, then let me see your strength!" I shouted and charged towards him.
However, just as I approached him, a strong, eerie wind suddenly swept up and enveloped me tightly.
I felt as if my body was being crushed by a thousand-pound weight, making it difficult to move.
The mysterious figure gradually disappeared into the wind, leaving only his mocking voice: "Just slowly savor the taste of despair..."
The little cutie's anxious voice rang in my mind: "Master, it's terrible! You've fallen into a crevice in the Ghost Realm! You have to get out of here quickly! Otherwise, you won't be able to get out later."
I was startled and immediately began to struggle, but I found that my body was bound by an invisible force and I could not move.
I had a bad feeling. Was I really going to be trapped here like this?
Just when I was feeling desperate, I suddenly remembered a technique I had learned before, and I thought I might be able to try to transfer it out.
So I concentrated my mind, mobilized the energy in my body, and used all my strength to perform this technique.
Surprisingly, it actually succeeded!
I felt my body disappear instantly and then reappear in another place.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in the forest I had entered before entering the Ghost Realm.
I breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely fortunate.
Thankfully, thanks to my little cutie's reminder and my own quick thinking, I managed to escape danger.
However, this experience also made me realize that the dangers in the Ghost Realm are far more terrifying than I imagined, and I must be more careful in the future.
When I came out, the mysterious man's aura had long since disappeared.
I guess they felt that my displayed cultivation level wasn't enough to escape, so they simply left in peace.
I hurried towards the hotel, since there was still one ghost cultivator inside who hadn't been caught.
I took out my phone and called Yao Ya. As soon as it rang, she answered, as if she had been waiting for my call.
"Sister Le, how are you? We tried calling you just now but couldn't get through, and you were out of service area. We were so worried! Do you need us to come pick you up?"
Yao Ya's sweet voice came through the phone receiver, full of concern and anxiety.
I quickly replied, "I'm fine. The mysterious person escaped. I'm heading to the hotel now. What about you?"
I secretly rejoiced that they were all safe and sound.
Yao Ya's voice visibly relaxed as she said, "We're all fine, nothing's happened. But everyone was worried about you and kept trying to contact you but couldn't. It's so good to hear you're calling!" Her words revealed her deep concern for me.
I felt a warmth in my heart and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. But you all must be careful and not wander off."
Yao Ya obediently replied, "Okay, Sister Le, we'll be careful. You should hurry back to the hotel; we'll be waiting for you."
Ye Ze seemed to take the phone and continued, "Don't worry, everything has been handled properly. Those people's memories have also been successfully altered. However, that little guy from the Zhang family has been making a fuss about seeing you. It took a lot of effort to calm him down and get him to go eat. In addition, we have arrived at the hotel, but we haven't gone upstairs yet, so as not to disturb them. We are waiting for your instructions."
"The young master of the Zhang family? Who is he? Do I know him? I'll be there in a bit." I asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's that guy named Xiao Ke. The Zhang family has a good relationship with our bureau, so we'll avoid provoking them if we can." The other party explained.
"Oh, him? It's alright, let him wait." I hung up the phone and quickened my pace back to the hotel.
Throughout the journey, I kept pondering the identity and purpose of that mysterious person, my heart filled with doubt and vigilance.
Who exactly is this person? Why did they try to kill me right away?
And what exactly is that ghost cultivator in the hotel plotting?
These questions lingered in my mind and left me feeling very confused.
At the same time, I also look forward to catching that ghost cultivator as soon as possible and solving this mystery.
After all, only in this way can everyone's safety be guaranteed.
This place was rather remote and sparsely populated, so I continued flying towards the hotel.
I had just arrived near the hotel and was about to run over when I spotted the SUV that had come with me.
It turned out that Li Si had come to pick me up; he was very thoughtful.
"Sister Le, come up and rest for a while. You've done the work of three of us. Let me do something, or Li Yi and the others will scold me when we get back," Li Si said with a smile.
My tense nerves relaxed, and I opened the car door and got in.
I got into the car and leaned back wearily in the seat. "Thank you for your hard work, Li Si."
Li Si smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me, Sister Le? By the way, the Administration Bureau just sent word that they've figured out the origins of that ghost cultivator."
"Oh?" I perked up immediately. "Tell me about it."
“That ghost cultivator was originally an ordinary ghost, but somehow he absorbed a lot of evil energy and turned into the ferocious creature he is now. Moreover, he seems to have other purposes…” Li Si said, while watching my expression.
I pondered for a moment, "Whatever his purpose, we can't let him succeed. We'll discuss the specific countermeasures when we get to the hotel."
The car quickly arrived at the hotel entrance, and Li Si and I got out and went inside. As soon as I entered the room, I saw the little guy from the Zhang family—Xiao Ke.
He saw me and ran towards me, opening the car door for me.
"Pretty sister, you're the one leading the way. My name is Xiao Ke, as I just mentioned. Can you be my mentor?"
The little boy looked up at me with his bright, expectant eyes.
"Xiao Ke, stop fooling around. Don't pay attention to him, he's just a kid, his words don't count."
Fei said with a smile, but I didn't respond to him. Instead, I looked down and focused on Xiao Ke.
"Little friend, cultivation is very tiring, and my teaching methods are quite extreme, so you should go home. I have things to do, okay?"
I spoke softly to Xiao Ke, trying to dissuade him from the idea.
However, the light in Xiao Ke's eyes seemed to dim for a moment, but it quickly brightened again.
He tugged at my sleeve and said in a coquettish tone, "Pretty sister, will you take me as your little brother? My family is very rich. I'll give you whatever you want, okay?"
I shook my head helplessly, a warm feeling welling up inside me.
I reached out and gently ruffled his hair; the soft yet slightly prickly touch made me feel especially warm and comfortable.
His hair became a little messy in my hands, but he didn't care at all, just looking at me with excitement.
"No, little one, but I can come see you when I have time," I said to him with a smile.
These words seemed to ignite the joy within him, and he jumped up excitedly, his face beaming with a happy smile.
"Yay! The pretty lady is coming to see me!" He cheered excitedly, his eyes sparkling with boundless joy and satisfaction.
Seeing this, Fei shook his head helplessly and turned away from us.
Seeing Xiao Ke so happy made me feel relaxed too.
At this moment, Xiao Ke took my hand, shook it, and said, "Pretty sister, are you free now? Can you play with me for a while?" His eyes were full of longing.
I couldn't bear to refuse him, so I nodded and agreed to his request.
"I can only give you half an hour. Let's go. I remember this hotel has an entertainment area."
“I know, I’ll lead the way,” Xiao Ke said happily.
Xiao Ke happily pulled me to the entertainment area, and I played various games with him.
We had a wonderful time together, and laughter filled the entire room.
Li Si came over to remind me that half an hour had passed and I should leave.
As I was about to leave, Xiao Ke reluctantly tugged at my sleeve.
I patted him on the back and comforted him, "Xiao Ke, I'll play with you again next time. I have to go now." He looked up and nodded understandingly.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Ke, Li Si and I left the entertainment area.
The air conditioner on the roof was running at full blast, and the cool breeze gently caressed my face, bringing a touch of refreshment.
This adorable little boy brought back a long-lost sense of innocence and warmth to my heart.
I whispered to Little Cutie using my divine sense, "Little Cutie, could you please check the surroundings for me? And what's the situation with that male ghost cultivator?"
The little cutie quickly replied, "Yes, Master, I will complete the task as soon as possible and report back to you." After saying that, it disappeared.
At the same time, Li Si and I went to their newly opened room, which was not on the same floor as the previous one.
I know we need to be fully prepared to deal with any potential dangers.
Despite its relatively remote location, the fact that there is only one hotel means that most people choose to stay there, which increases the potential risks.
Yao Ya and Ye Ze were both waiting for me to come back in the room.
I went among them and discussed with them how to set up a defensive line to ensure that everyone could be protected.
We discussed various options and finally finalized a detailed plan.
Everyone expressed their willingness to do their utmost to protect this land.
After arranging everything, I walked out of the room and into the hallway, where I saw that everyone else had already started getting busy.
In the following period, we carried out our actions in an orderly manner according to plan.
Some people were responsible for patrolling, some for setting traps, and others for monitoring the surrounding area.
Every detail was carefully considered to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The little cutie's voice rang in my ears again: "Master, there's nothing unusual around us. That male ghost cultivator is sleeping right now, and he seems to be sleeping quite soundly."
I was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go up now and try to take it down directly."
"Go for it, Master!" the little cutie encouraged.
After telling them the news I had just received, I carefully walked up the stairs.
Halfway there, the little cutie suddenly said, "Master, wait a minute, he's awake and up. It seems like he's hungry and wants to eat something."
I immediately stopped in my tracks, which was almost at his door, and asked nervously, "Is my little darling about to come out?"
He stretched, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door.
"Okay, I understand." I quickly used my divine sense to transmit the message to the three people downstairs.
