Chapter 2: A Wisp of a Ghost

Is there no place left? What should we do?" Bai Yuan asked Tang Yue with a sideways glance, concerned that the girl might worry her parents if she returned home late at night

It was nearly 11:30, and a faint mist had already settled in the sky! This was not noticeable in the city center, but as soon as he arrived in the suburbs, it became apparent. The mist was pervasive, creating a somewhat desolate and lonely atmosphere. This further strengthened his resolve to purchase a house

Her name is Tang Yeyue, and she lived during the late Qing Dynasty. Due to her beauty, she caught the eye of the powerful Lin Tian, and ultimately, for various reasons, she was dishonorably killed. Before her death, she swore with her blood that she would never enter the cycle of reincarnation unless Lin Tian was killed. The numerous reasons will be elaborated one by one.

At the last stop, Bai Yuan and the princess, the woman in palace attire, got off the vehicle. Ahead was a crossroads; once they crossed this intersection, they would be able to see his home. Although it was a bit far, it was not beyond reason

Ignorance, extreme ignorance! What a wisp of a ghost! I suspect someone is up to mischief, right? What era are we in, where do these wandering souls and ghosts come from? If they really exist, let them come out and show themselves to me

He believes that it is not appropriate to speak too much about a chance encounter, a code name is sufficient

It is soon approaching eleven o'clock

The girl smiled playfully upon hearing this, evoking a sense of spring's warmth and blossoming flowers. She said, "Aren't you also here so late? Could it be that you, big brother, are also a bad person?"

The methods of death are myriad and bizarre; what is it like at the moment of death? Now, those souls are in such a state! ... They all gaze fearfully at the woman in white palace attire, the resentment contained within her body can instantly scatter their souls. The faint blood oath makes them, as fellow beings, feel a bit of trepidation.

"Little sister, it's so late and you're still wandering around this suburb, it's very dangerous! You should head home early," Bai Yuan said, unable to help but speak out upon seeing a woman dressed in white at the intersection, whose figure and features were both exceptional.

Tang Yue frowned in dissatisfaction, a hint of discontent flashing in her large eyes. Her temper was fully revealed, akin to that of a comic book girl. However, Bai Yuan pretended not to see it, focusing solely on leading the way ahead.

Such a hatred is deeply ingrained, one would wish to consume the flesh of the object of their hatred... From ancient times to the 21st century, it has traversed the entanglements of eras. It is conceivable how profound that woman's hatred is

The girl couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "No need to explain!!! I understand, it's obvious that you are a successful person! Of course, it's great to be invited for a late-night snack! I didn't eat enough this afternoon anyway. My name is Tang Yue! Everyone calls me Yue'er! What about you?"

You have some self-awareness! The girl muttered to herself

The boss is named Jiang Ming, and regular customers call him Brother Ming. Brother Ming is around forty years old, slightly overweight, and not very tall, standing at about 1.7 meters. He has a large beer belly and is very amiable towards others. He spends his days sitting here, supervising whether his subordinates are performing their tasks properly, in a very relaxed manner

Bai Yuan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, gazing at the sunny girl with a sense of having encountered an angel. There was also a feeling of warmth; this neighborly little sister vibe felt very refreshing to him. He couldn't help but feel elated.

Hehe, on the second day, when they opened the morgue, all the bodies were lined up in two rows behind the door. This phenomenon nearly scared the people who entered out of their wits! They called in a master, who looked at the scene and simply said, 'A wisp of a ghost is causing trouble!' In the end, the master set up a formation to guide that wandering soul. This incident led to many staff members resigning

The woman was dressed in white, yet adorned in palace attire, her eyes filled with hatred as she gazed at Bai Yuan

The hours of Zi and Chou are considered the peak of Yin, and are also referred to in metaphysics as the time when ghosts and spirits are most active. Generally, very few people venture out during this time, which also coincides with the last bus of the day, commonly known as the last bus.

Bai Yuan is a long-time customer of this establishment, and the owner is familiar with him. He and his wife used to frequently come here for late-night snacks

Lin Tian, I have been searching for you for a hundred years, a full hundred years! In the last life, you had a powerful protector, but in this life, I must take revenge no matter what, otherwise I will not be satisfied! I will not be satisfied! The woman in palace attire murmured in a language only non-humans could hear... The intense hatred made the surrounding wind carry a chill...

"And let me tell you this! You used to take care of my business often, I can still afford this meal!"

Bai Yuan, a man in his mid-twenties, looked at the playful young girl and found her increasingly adorable. He said, "Shall we go? Let me treat you to a feast. I can't claim success, but I do have a job to support my family. You can call me Brother Bai; after all, I am almost thirty!"

Brother Ming, thank you! I won't be polite then! I'm going to order! Tang Yue's little face flashed with a hint of joy! There was no intention of being polite at all! ... Bai Yuan's face showed a trace of embarrassment, not expecting this girl to be so straightforward, truly speechless ...

"Dabai, your words are not correct! It is not Ming Ge who is criticizing you; these traditions passed down from our ancestors for thousands of years naturally have their reasons! Regarding matters of the supernatural, I hold the attitude of 'better to believe in their existence than to deny it.' Their existence has its justification; otherwise, our country would not recognize the Taoist Association! You are being too rigid, and you will eventually suffer for it!" Ming Ge advised earnestly.

While the two were discussing these topics, they were completely unaware of the slight curve at the corner of Tang Yue's mouth... a curve that conveyed disdain

Ming Ge looked at all of this with a smile, and he actually thought that Tang Yue's personality was quite good! Not hypocritical at all! Not pretentious!

She glanced at Bai Yuan, who was chatting animatedly with Ming Ge, and a flash of hatred passed through her eyes

The driver cast a strange glance at Bai Yuan, who was waving, and at a woman dressed entirely in white

Those individuals are all souls, some with blood at the corners of their mouths, some with severed hands and legs, others with incomplete heads, and some with ruptured abdomens, while others have eyes wide open in anger

The driver dared not think too much, only wanting to reach the destination as quickly as possible ... and * illustrations * books ...

In fact, there are many invisible people on the vehicle, bustling and crowding the entire space!

"How embarrassing!" Bai Yuan paused slightly

Bai Yuan was about to pay, but the driver quickly waved his hand, signaling to forget it

Bai Yuan has not yet reached home! At this moment, it is already the legendary hour of midnight

Bai Yuan glanced at the three remaining stops, his heart nearly scattered! At that moment, the last bus to the suburbs happened to arrive, and he waved to stop the vehicle

She has pursued through three eras, and until this life, a full one hundred years, she can finally fulfill her vow to reincarnate

The two, feeling bored, began to chat, and in the end, Ming Ge learned that Bai Yuan would be getting married in a month. He repeatedly congratulated him and even called for a bottle of wine, insisting that they would not return until they were drunk. Not drinking would be seen as disrespecting him.

Therefore, she has been avoiding it all.

Because the woman's face was pale, she was fixated on the man. What was most terrifying was that her feet were not touching the ground, hovering five inches above it. She was purely floating! ... At this late hour, unless it was ... ... and the man was completely unaware ... ...

Tang Yue was full of enthusiasm, a glimmer of subtle brilliance flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed

That female ghost slightly tilted her head to glance at the driver! The driver remained calm as he drove, though his palms were sweating profusely! This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation! ... However, it was the first time he had experienced it in the presence of a stranger ...

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead

Tang Yue was strikingly beautiful, to the extent that even the young man taking orders was at a loss, as each of her choices seemed to exceed those of others by a third! No one noticed the deep apprehension that flickered in Tang Yue's eyes, a wariness directed towards the two guardian deities at the entrance of this house.

"Ming Ge, hurry up and speak, don't keep us in suspense!" Tang Yue said, glaring at Ming Ge with an annoyed expression

Bai Yuan glanced at the clock; it was still early! His parents had probably gone to bed long ago, and his wife was also not around. He simply said: "Meeting is fate; it seems there is a good barbecue place over there! You don't mind if I invite you to have barbecue at hetushucomcom"

***

Hmm? Ming Ge cast a puzzled glance at Bai Yuan and Tang Yue, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. In his view, it is quite normal for young people to change partners. However, as far as he knew, Bai Yuan and his partner had a very good relationship

"Ming Ge, do not misunderstand! This is my neighbor's little sister, named Tang Yue!" Bai Yuan told a small lie.

Tang Yue and Bai Yuan exchanged a glance, shaking their heads in confusion and said, "I haven't heard of any strange occurrences. Could there be mysterious events happening again recently"

Bai Yuan thought for a moment but did not refute it; he felt a bit puzzled. Receiving three admonitions in one day! Although he did not believe in ghosts or deities, he believed that something would happen

Ming Ge took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and asked mysteriously, "Not long ago, something strange happened! Do you all know about it?"

However, her words were naturally ignored by Bai Yuan and Ming Ge

Bai Yuan showed some interest, but mostly he scoffed! He did not believe any of this! He was convinced it was man-made!

After a while, the cooked dishes were served. One was the owner, and the other was the sales manager of the company; both were skilled conversationalists! They chatted away about everything under the sun, while Tang Yue listened with great interest, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, she did not dare to move

He remained completely unaware, yet somewhat paranoid, believing that it was the result of the old man's brainwashing

"Ming Ge, that title is quite nice! Ming Ge, my name is Tang Yue!" Tang Yue's big eyes curved like a crescent moon as she greeted the boss

You will see it! Tang Yue said seriously, her gaze piercing.

Hey, that's right! We business people are actually the most well-informed. There are some things we definitely know before you do! I heard that a few days ago, there were whispers coming from the morgue at the crematorium in the middle of the night, and later there were sounds of something hitting the wall. That night, the guy watching the morgue was almost scared out of his wits! Do you know what mysterious thing happened the next day? Brother Ming is keeping us in suspense!

This barbecue restaurant, m.hetushu.com, is a well-known establishment in the suburbs of City H. Although its location is not particularly advantageous, it does not affect their business at all

Suddenly, the topic shifted to the supernatural and metaphysics

He simply stopped and said: "Little sister, the world is declining, and people's hearts are no longer pure! Everyone's heart is separated by a layer of skin; do not be too naive! I do not consider myself a good person!"

"Sit here, I will treat you tonight! Consider it a welcome gift for Xiaoyue! Just take good care of my business in the future!" Brother Ming said with a generous smile

"Dabai, you have arrived?" The boss greeted him warmly.

They arrived at the barbecue restaurant, which was already fully booked

Thus, some people also say that the Yin-Yang Road is at the bus terminal

The woman is approximately twenty years old. She has large eyes, a delicate nose, and a beautiful face. Her long, straight hair flows in the wind, accentuating her graceful figure.

He felt a bit uneasy, as he always had the sensation that a light, ethereal figure was following him. Along the way, he turned back to look no less than ten times, yet indeed, there was no one there

Our "Napa cabbage" reluctantly nodded in the end... Brother Ming's hospitality was hard to refuse

The last bus has one saying: it does not carry the living, only the spirits! That is, it carries ghosts! During the last bus ride, the driver will hang up all the items in the vehicle and drive very quietly. At each stop, regardless of whether there are passengers, he will open the doors! He continues driving until the final destination, then gently gets off, closes the door, and goes home

It is not that he is oblivious to Tang Yue's beauty, but rather that his fiancée is of the same caliber, which naturally raises his immunity. Moreover, he is absolutely loyal to his wife, so he does not display too many expressions.

The boss was taken aback, instantly viewing this generous and unreserved young lady in a new light

After giving it some thought, fearing that the other party might misunderstand, he quickly said: "Do not misunderstand, I am a married man; I just feel that we are fated..." Bai Yuan realized that the situation was becoming increasingly awkward.

Because Bai Yuan is a sunny type of boy, he also has the two talismans given by that old man on him. His own Ba Zi is inherently strong, and she needs time to gradually wear him down
