Merchant of the Underworld

Lunch and dinner were all takeaways ordered by Yin Xinyue. Anyway, she was pretty and rich and didn't care about such a small amount of money. Besides, this girl will be unhappy if I talk to her about money.

The sky quickly darkened, and I placed the jade lantern at the door of the antique shop.

At almost eleven o'clock, the dark wind blew over again as promised.

I immediately piled all the paper bundles I bought in the morning together and lit them, then set up a mirror in front of the paper bundles.

I looked carefully at the scene in the mirror!

At first, the scene in the mirror was normal.

However, as time went by, the flames in the mirror gradually turned blood red, and beat faster and more fiercely, as if gasoline was burning. The flames kept rising upwards, raising the surrounding temperature.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a red shadow appear among the pile of flames.

I knew the real owner had come out, so I immediately opened my eyes and observed carefully. The real owner walked out of the flames bit by bit, and his appearance immediately scared me to the point of suffocation.

Corpse oil was flowing all over this man's body, like a rotten orange.

Her face, in particular, was even more shocking. Her head was half bald, her face was sallow, her lips were almost burnt, and the roots of her teeth were exposed.

I couldn't help but gasp.

Seeing this female ghost slowly walking towards me, goosebumps suddenly appeared on my back. I glanced at Yin Xinyue in the mirror. She was doing pretty well and looked calm while standing next to the flames.

After all, she couldn't see the female ghost directly with her naked eyes, she could only see it through a mirror. In order to avoid causing her panic, I deliberately blocked the mirror with my body.

I immediately shouted: "Yin Xinyue, it's now!"

Yin Xinyue immediately took out her lighter in a hurry and prepared to light the jade lantern.

The lamp oil stored in the jade lamp is the popularity oil, which is corpse oil, that I bought on the black market during the day.

In order not to scare Yin Xinyue, I told her that it was just ordinary lamp oil.

Seeing the female ghost so close to me, I was so frightened that I got goosebumps all over. But I don’t dare to move, for fear of startling the undead, and the operation tonight will fail...

Fortunately, Yin Xinyue quickly lit the jade lantern.

The female ghost seemed to look at me unwillingly, and finally turned around and floated into the jade lamp little by little.

Immediately, the candlelight on the jade lamp jumped around, and finally pointed in the direction outside the door. I was overjoyed, knowing that it was working, and quickly asked Yin Xinyue to hold the jade lantern and walk in the direction pointed by the jade lantern.

Yin Xinyue naturally did not dare to neglect.

The reason why Yin Xinyue was chosen to hold the jade lantern was mainly because as a woman, Yin Xinyue had a strong yin and a weak yang, so she would not disturb the female ghost attached to it.

I kept a distance of three meters from Yin Xinyue and followed her leisurely.

She quickly walked out of the antique street, and then headed all the way to a sparsely populated area.

I frowned, thinking that this was a little different from what I imagined. Shouldn't this female ghost go home first? Where are we going? If we follow this road, we can only reach an abandoned school, right?

I took a breath of cold air and felt a little numb. I was really worried that I would be in danger. The most important thing was to worry about Yin Xinyue's safety.

At this moment, the candle flame on the jade lamp was turning red little by little, which made me even more worried. She was definitely not heading home. Could it be that she was still worried about the abandoned school?

It was silent all the way, and occasionally one or two wild cats would pass by, their shrill cries making people feel chilly.

In the end, we walked to the abandoned school and stopped at the school gate. Just when I was wondering what the other party was going to do, a shrill scream suddenly came from the iron gate of the school.

Immediately afterwards, there was a white shadow that suddenly fell from the iron door and landed at my feet.

I took a deep breath, took a closer look, and realized it was a white cat!

The white cat was starving, skinny, and dirty, almost like a wild cat. But I immediately understood, this must be the concern of the female ghost, right? Maybe it's her pet.

The white cat actually knelt on the ground with its front legs and kept kowtowing to us, and then two lines of hot tears silently fell from the corners of its eyes!

Yin Xinyue looked at me worriedly. I nodded to her and motioned for her to continue walking in the direction pointed by the jade lantern.

This time, the direction of the candlelight turned out to be the way we came.

We could only turn back now, and the dirty white cat followed closely behind us. Just like that, Yudeng actually took us all the way to a villa.

I breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing else happened, this villa should be the female ghost's home, right?

I took a deep breath, walked up and knocked on the door.

It was very dark in the villa, and it seemed that the owner had already fallen asleep.

I don't know if I can wake up the people inside.

After knocking for a few times, there was finally movement inside the door, which was the sound of walking. I originally thought that the other party would come to open the door for us, but the footsteps were just walking in the living room, and the lights were not even turned on.

I frowned, wondering if we were in the wrong place?

Looking at the candlelight of the jade lantern, it is indeed biased towards this villa, that’s right! I'm a bit at a loss.

At this moment, a gentle female voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Excuse me, is anyone missing in your house?" I asked quickly.

After a period of silence, a rough man's voice came: "No, you are looking in the wrong place."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another faint sound of a woman crying inside. This woman's cry made my scalp tingle. It didn't sound like a human being crying at all, but more like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.

Yin Xinyue suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes and said with a worried look on her face: "Brother Zhang, look, this candle is almost extinguished. What should I do?"

I immediately took a look at the jade lamp, and sure enough, the candle flame was swaying so much that it was almost extinguished.

I suddenly had a headache. If the jade lantern goes out, the female ghost will definitely wander around and will no longer be restrained by the jade lantern. Then we will definitely suffer.

Without saying anything, I immediately said to Yin Xinyue: "Don't let the jade lantern go out! Let's go and get out of here. This villa is not normal."

After saying that, I turned around and walked in front, followed closely by Yin Xinyue.

At this time, a faint female voice came from the villa: "Don't go, haha! Don't go."

Now I am sure that there must be something unclean in the villa.

In my heart, I scolded the female ghost in the jade lamp a thousand times. I went through all the trouble to help you fulfill your wish, but you led me to a ghost house. You really don’t know what is good and what is evil.

But just after taking two steps, Yin Xinyue screamed: "No, Brother Zhang, the jade lantern went out..."

"Destroyed?" I frowned and immediately looked back. Sure enough, the jade lamp held by Yin Xinyue had been extinguished long ago, without leaving any sparks.

My face suddenly darkened.

He took Yin Xinyue's hand and without saying a word, shouted, "Run!"
