Chapter 133 Devouring the Soul
"I wonder if Miss Bai still remembers that a few months ago, there was a girl who came to this cave?"
Bai Qingqing was a little confused. He didn't know why Xu Yingying would ask this. He thought about it carefully, but he really didn't see anyone who looked like that.
"I've never seen it. Miss, you've come to the wrong place." Bai Qingqing said truthfully according to her memory.
After being rejected, Xu Yingying was not angry, "Then please listen to my story and then make a decision."
After that, Xu Yingying told Bai Qingqing everything she knew about Zhang Xiaohan's changes, as well as what had happened in Jun County in recent days.
After she finished speaking, Bai Qingqing was silent. After a long while, she said, "Miss Xu, you are thinking in the right direction. The Zhang Xiaohan you mentioned has indeed become a different person. However, she is not possessed, but possessed by another spirit."
"Possession?" Xu Yingying had a bad feeling, "Could it be..."
"It's just what you imagined, Miss Xu. I do have an impression of the girl you mentioned. However, that girl was also a poor person. She was possessed by a ghost and her body was invaded. She became the ghost's donor. Now that I think about it, her soul should have also become the ghost's nourishment." Bai Qingqing explained to Xu Yingying.
"The ghost devoured Zhang Xiaohan's soul, then occupied Zhang Xiaohan's body, and lived again in this world. Xu Yingying felt a chill all over her body.
"Could it be that all of you ghosts can possess other people's bodies?" Xu Yingying clenched her hands tightly. If everyone could do this, wouldn't humanity be in trouble?
What reassured Xu Yingying was that Bai Qingqing shook his head and said, "This possession of a body is an unorthodox evil technique. Ordinary ghosts have no idea about it. Even if they know this method, there are still prerequisites for possession of a body."
"Appreciate further details."
"The most important prerequisite for possessing a body is that the horoscopes of the person whose body is possessed must be very compatible with the person who possesses it. After all, if they are not compatible, the body of the person whose body is possessed will be like a walking corpse after losing its soul, and it is impossible for it to last that long."
"So that's how it is. That's how Miss Bai thought we should deal with that sexy ghost. I've tried to expel her, but never succeeded." Xu Yingying was also very distressed.
Hearing this, Bai Qingqing sneered, "Even if you are all-powerful, Zhang Xiaohan is just a human being now. Even if there is a ghost inside, the body has been assimilated by the ghost. You naturally cannot pull the ghost out."
Xu Yingying's eyes were filled with reluctance, "Does it mean we can only let it go?"
"Of course not. That ghost was originally one of my men, but she committed a crime and escaped. I want to catch her back. Seeing that the girl is so kind, I can help you with this. However, once the ghost is expelled from the body, the girl's body will really be a corpse."
Bai Qingqing's offer to help was the best thing for Xu Yingying, so there was no time for her to consider so many things.
Now that Bai Qingqing mentioned this matter, Xu Yingying had to think about it carefully. After a long time, Xu Yingying still said firmly: "Miss Bai, please lend me a hand. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly. I will definitely treat Miss Bai with good food and drink. After the matter is resolved, I will give you a generous reward."
Bai Qingqing was very pleased with this. Although she was highly respected by the ghosts in this cave, it was just a small cave after all. She had long been fed up with staying here, but there was a formation in the cave and they could not leave at will.
Li Siqi stood quietly behind Xu Yingying, playing a background role. Mainly because he couldn't see those things. From his perspective, Xu Yingying was talking to the air. He could only observe Xu Yingying's expression carefully.
Seeing that her expression had obviously eased, Li Siqi knew that Xu Yingying had found a solution.
Therefore, when Xu Yingying stopped talking, Li Siqi spoke up, "Since we have found a way, why don't we leave here? It's probably getting dark outside."
Xu Yingying nodded. There was no sunlight in the cave, so she couldn't quite tell what time it was outside, but it would always be a good idea to go out first.
Thinking of this, Xu Yingying turned to look at Bai Qingqing, "Miss Bai, please come with us."
After saying that, Xu Yingying wanted to leave, but Bai Qingqing stopped her, "Wait a moment, Miss Xu."
Xu Yingying looked over with confusion on her face. Bai Qingqing gestured to Xu Yingying to look in the direction she came from. The original passage was blocked by a pile of rubble.
"What's going on?" Xu Yingying exclaimed.
Bai Qingqing was very calm, "This is a problem with the formation. Every night, the entrance to the cave will be quietly blocked, and nothing can get out. The only way out is to wait until tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Xu Yingying was very helpless, and then told Li Siqi the reason. For a long while, Li Siqi was stunned where he was. Since there was no other way, he could only stay here for the time being.
Li Siqi found a slightly cleaner place and motioned Xu Yingying to sit down. Perhaps knowing that Xu Yingying had no ill intentions, the group of ghosts began to discuss in twos and threes.
During these conversations, Xu Yingying also learned the unknown secrets of Jun County.
A long time ago, Jun County was governed by another county lord, but that man was obsessed with the art of immortality. In his later years, he heard from somewhere that by bathing in the blood of boys and girls every day, they could gain immortality. Therefore, the young men and women of Jun County were forced to face the darkest moment.
Every day, people were brought into the county lady's mansion, and every night, corpses were carried into the cave. This cycle repeated over and over again, and the county lady eventually died. But at the same time, there were not many boys and girls left in Jun County.
Xu Yingying suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the ghosts she saw all looked young.
Bai Qingqing also came to Xu Yingying's side at this time, looking at those ghosts, and sighed, "You heard it all, they were all children who died miserably."
"You too?" Xu Yingying asked Bai Qingqing. She always felt that Bai Qingqing had stayed here longer than other ghosts.
Bai Qingqing shook his head. "No, I've been here for a long time, and the formation here was set up for me."
Afterwards, Bai Qingqing fell into silence. After a long while, she spoke: "They are all miserable children. Because of me, they are forced to wander here and cannot be reincarnated. Do you have a way to help them once?"
