Chapter 10, a series of ghostly tales

However, if what she said is true, then it would prove that Wang Yinyang is deceiving me. But why would Wang Yinyang deceive me? He has no reason to do so, and I have not given him a single penny.

What exactly did this old man die from? Could it be that he discovered the secret of our classroom? And then was killed by the unseen hand behind it?

The portrait in the makeshift shrine is that of the old man who was invited by the class leader back then. I never expected that he has already passed away now

The day before yesterday? Wasn't that the day the class monitor invited him? Did he pass away as soon as he returned? My expression changed, and I felt a chill all over. I turned my head and asked in astonishment, "How did he die?"

Wang Yinyang then informed me that if half of this bowl of rice changes color, it indicates that Han Ziyu, although a fierce ghost, does not harbor deep resentment. It should be manageable. Upon hearing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, I can only place my hopes on him

I stepped forward and looked at several middle-aged men. After hesitating for a moment, I asked: "When and how did the old gentleman die?"

When I walked over, I saw several people dressed in mourning attire, sitting on chairs and conversing.

I uttered this sentence, then turned my head in a daze. At that moment, I felt a wave of confusion in my heart; the events that had transpired in such a short time were truly beyond comprehension, leaving me utterly unprepared.

"It's nothing." I shook my head and then blurted out, "Perhaps Han Ziyu is not the gatekeeper of the underworld at all?"

Wang Yinyang's home is located in the suburbs, where the atmosphere is steeped in antiquity. When I arrived here, Wang Yinyang was practicing calligraphy

At that moment, I let out a sigh of relief. Zhao Pengyu walked over, looking at me with a strange expression, and then said, "What’s wrong? You look very scared."

However, at this moment, I do not care at all; I have decided to use his method. At this time, Wang Yinyang informed me that Han Ziyu is a malevolent spirit, and ordinary methods are ineffective against her. It is necessary to lure her into a haunted place

Seeing my appearance, the middle-aged man said: "The day before yesterday, when he returned, he said that the secrets of heaven must not be revealed. Then he suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away."

However... I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head, yet my heart was filled with confusion

At that time, several students ganged up and beat a boy to death. Subsequently, these students also died one after another. Since then, it has often been said that the abandoned warehouse of the school is haunted by the ghost of that boy

Han Ziyu, Wang Yinyang. Who is really deceiving me

Soon after, I left school, and I even stopped attending evening study sessions

After I returned home, I sat alone on the bed, my mind a complete blank. The events of today were truly strange. Perhaps, as Han Ziyu said, Wang Yangming is deceiving me

Upon hearing this, I suddenly realized that Wang Yinyang's strategy was actually like this. However, this is also a good thing

However, Wang Yinyang's words reminded me that he told me to place a bowl of rice in the classroom and observe the color of the rice. If there is a slight blackening, it indicates that the female ghost is not powerful. If it turns completely black, it signifies that the ghost is exceptionally strong, far beyond what he can handle

What benefits does this bring to him? I am at a loss in my thoughts. After pondering for a moment, I replied without looking back: "Since you say you are not the gatekeeper of the underworld, then who is the gatekeeper of the underworld?"

With such thoughts in mind, I soon fell asleep

Therefore, that place has also become a forbidden area within the school. The school has repeatedly instructed everyone not to enter this area, otherwise, they will face expulsion

I do not know why, but I always feel that what Han Ziyu said may be true. She is not the gatekeeper of the underworld at all. There is no need for her to harm us.

However, in order to lead a normal life, I am willing to agree to any conditions set by Wang Yangming.

Are you really going to lead Han Ziyu out like this? But will she kill me?

I was momentarily stunned, strange thoughts began to surface in my mind. Could it be that what she said is true? She is not the gatekeeper of the underworld at all? Is Wang Yinyang deceiving me? But he has no reason to lie to me at all

Upon hearing this voice, I was instantly taken aback. Although the voice was cold and hoarse, I understood at once that this voice seemed to belong to Han Ziyu.

Following the address provided by Zhao Pengyu, I arrived at the old man's home. However, when I got here, I found that a mourning tent had already been set up. From time to time, the sound of sorrowful music accompanied the scene

Upon hearing this, I hurriedly nodded, and then during the fourth period of the afternoon, I found a way to bring a bowl of rice and placed it in the center of the classroom

Who knows, Wang Yinyang told me that ghosts are not so easy to deal with. We must understand how strong the female ghost in our classroom really is. If it is an ordinary ghost, he can handle it, but if it is a powerful ghost, even he cannot deal with it

With this thought in mind, I sought out Zhao Pengyu, and together we went to Wang Yinyang's home

Burning money in the classroom is a practice that carries significance. This behavior is referred to as burning "yin money". It can enhance the powers of spirits. This realization struck me, and it became clear why the gatekeeper of the underworld would assign us such a task, resulting in the death of one person.

When I set down the bowl, I couldn't help but be taken aback; half of the rice had turned black. What on earth is going on? Could it be that Han Ziyu is exceptionally powerful?

"Is that so? Please tell me his address, as I need to discuss something with him," I said

"Can't you come to the school for a visit? With your abilities, you should be able to handle the female ghost, right?" I couldn't help but ask

My gaze was fixed on the rice before me, and a wave of tension surged within me. After a while, the snow-white rice in the bowl I held gradually became stained with black, which then quickly spread. Soon, half of the rice in the bowl before me had turned black

On this day, I decided to seek out Wang Yinyang for clarification. Perhaps he really might have deceived me

Who knows, he took a sip of tea, then leisurely said: "As the saying goes, ghost stories are endless. You probably believe in the words of ghosts, don't you?"

Wang Yangming told me that in order to eliminate Han Ziyu, one must first cut a finger to lure her into a certain place, and then confine her there. However, this approach carries extreme danger. He advised me not to attempt it

This is impossible, right?" Zhao Pengyu looked at me, his voice filled with doubt, and said, "Everyone has basically concluded that she is the gatekeeper of the underworld. After all, she is currently in our class.

I began to consult Wang Yangming on how to eliminate Han Ziyu, but to my surprise, Wang Yin Yang informed me that it is not so easy to get rid of a malevolent spirit. Dealing with her requires a rather complicated process

At present, I am very eager to understand who has deceived me? Is it Han Ziyu, or Wang Yinyang?

After class, I immediately called Wang Yinyang. Upon hearing the news, Wang Yinyang promptly asked me what task the gatekeeper of the underworld had assigned to me. When I informed him, he immediately told me in a serious manner.

I actually know this, I am familiar with this person, who is quite famous in our locality said Zhao Pengyu

When I expressed my doubts, Wang Yinyang responded to me: "Generally speaking, ghosts have their own territories. Spirits will wander within these territories. This is also why places that are haunted often have a history of death."

When I saw him, I was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of what to say

It now appears that this place is indeed the best haunted location. However, Wang Yinyang's words leave me quite perplexed. Why would one seek another haunted place to deal with Han Ziyu

I walked over, and my gaze inadvertently swept across the spirit altar, causing me to freeze in place.

With this thought in mind, I called Wang Yinyang.

Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated and hurriedly spread my fingers apart. When I saw blood on my fingertips, I distinctly felt a chill run down my back. It seemed as if something was watching me.

In my mind, I was lost in thought when suddenly something came to me, and I hurriedly asked: "Zhao Pengyu, do you know where the old man that the class monitor invited lives?"

Upon seeing me approach, he set down his pen and, with a calm expression, said: "You must have come to see me for a reason."

She actually spoke up, and it was directed at me.

Indeed, I saw the true form of the gatekeeper of the underworld. It was that female ghost

Upon hearing what he said, I was taken aback for a moment, and then it suddenly occurred to me. Isn't there a haunted place at the school? That would be the abandoned warehouse of the school. A significant event had once taken place there.

If you bring Han Ziyu to that place, it will incite a conflict between the two spirits, which will weaken Han Ziyu's power. It will be much easier for me to deal with then

The next day was Sunday, and on this day, the gatekeeper of the underworld surprisingly did not issue any tasks. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. I also gained a rare opportunity

Hearing him say this, I felt a chill in my heart, unable to believe that even Wang Yinyang could not deal with the ghost. Does this mean we still have to endure the control of the gatekeeper of the underworld

Zhao Pengyu nodded and then told me the address

After all, I have no idea how to deal with ghosts, and I am completely unfamiliar with supernatural matters

I see

Whoever knows, after I uttered this sentence, there was no echo around me, and the chilling sensation behind me seemed to vanish. I cautiously turned my head, and indeed, I did not see Han Ziyu's figure.

His words left me astonished, and for a moment, I did not know how to respond

Is that so? That makes things easier. I need you to do a few things," Wang Yinyang said.

A middle-aged man looked at me and said gently, "He passed away the day before yesterday"

At that moment, I suddenly understood that Han Ziyu was right behind me. My body trembled with fear, yet I did not dare to turn around. At that moment, I put down my phone, but I did not know what to do next

In an instant, my mind was filled with countless thoughts, and I found myself at a loss as to what to do.

Wang Yinyang was quite carefree; he glanced at me and, with a calm expression, said: "You are doubting me, aren't you?"

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard a hoarse voice behind me: "You have been deceived; I am not the gatekeeper of the underworld at all"
