Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 323 Psychic
Ran Qing was stunned.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw the worry on Mo Li and Long Zongshu's faces.

The two of them, including Xiaomianhua, looked at him anxiously and asked, "Ran Qing? Are you alright?"

"Why did you suddenly stop moving? We called you but you didn't respond..."

"Ran Qing, what did you see? Why do you look so pale?"

The three asked with concern.

Ran Qing looked at her companions' concern and worries, recalling the scene she had just witnessed.

When he looked at the room in front of him again, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Ran Qing suddenly moved a few steps away from where she had been standing.

Looking around the room with some wariness, Ran Qing said, "I just saw Ran Jianfei..."

After saying that, Ran Qing realized that her words were a bit hard to understand, so she quickly added something else.

"...To be precise, I just saw it from a ghost's perspective!"

Ran Qing stared at the spot where he had just stood, his face grim. He had witnessed Ran Jianfei carrying the female corpse past the dormitory building.

Ran Jianfei, who looked up, also saw "him," and his expression changed drastically instantly...

That's definitely not the reaction you should have when you see your own son.

What Ran Jianfei saw last night when he stood downstairs and looked up must have been something incredibly bizarre and sinister, something that could cause this seasoned corpse raiser to react so erratically.

Ran Qing murmured, "The spot where I'm standing should be the spot where the evil thing stood last night."

“Last night, there was a dirty thing standing here, watching Ran Jianfei pass by below.”

"And when I stood in the same spot, for some reason, I saw the scene it had seen..."

Ran Qing's account was somewhat eerie.

Upon hearing this, both Mo Li and Long Zongshu subconsciously moved closer to Ran Qing.

They cautiously examined the room before them. Mo Li asked, "You mean... there's a ghost in this room? And a very powerful one at that? Uncle Ran was scared?"

Mo Li and Long Zongshu both tried to stand in the same spot, but they couldn't see anything.

It seemed that only Ran Qing in that brief moment had triggered that strange eye contact.

Ran Qing recalled the feeling of that moment and felt a chill run down her spine.

At that moment, he seemed to have truly become a ghost, devoid of human emotions, turning cold and malevolent.

So this is what it means to become a ghost...

Ran Qing looked at the room in front of her and said slowly, "That ghost should have left, and it's very likely that it developed some kind of spiritual connection with me, which is why I can see from its perspective."

As Ran Qing gradually calmed down, she vaguely guessed the reason.

Spiritual communication is not a rare thing in the Yin-Yang school.

Some spiritual mediums make money by using their spiritual abilities to exorcise ghosts.

If Little Cotton, this spirit medium, were to follow a sorcerer from Southeast Asia rather than a shaman, her main role would be to communicate with evil spirits so that they could work for the sorcerer.

To put it simply, it means—attracting a ghost to possess you.

However, spiritual communication is not limited to summoning ghosts; it can manifest in other ways as well.

For example, the perspective from which one sees a ghost, as described above, is also a form of psychic communication.

However, spiritual communication usually requires many mediums to achieve.

But Ran Qing did nothing; she simply stood where the ghost had stood, and she gained spiritual insight…

"This ghost isn't related to you by blood, is it?" Long Zongshu asked in a low voice in surprise.

If there is a blood relationship, and the relatives are within three generations, it is very likely that they will accidentally communicate with spirits without any medium.

But the Ran family had no relatives in Zangke, and his close relatives within three generations were extremely few, almost all of them were dead...

Ran Qing frowned, trying to recall any possible relatives from her hazy memory. Just then, Mo Li suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Look over there!"

Mo Li's sudden words interrupted Ran Qing's thoughts.

He subconsciously looked up and looked over at Zong Shu.

This time, both he and Zong Shu saw it clearly.

At the corner of the street in the distance, downstairs from the dormitory building, a female corpse dressed in a red wedding gown and covered with a red veil silently floated by in the shadows.

"A woman in red!" Zong Shu exclaimed in surprise in a low voice, "She ran outside!"

Ran Qing immediately rushed towards the door: "Chase!"

He saw illusions when he was communicating with spirits, but what he just saw was definitely a real female corpse.

The female corpse behind Ran Jianfei had actually run outside.

No wonder I couldn't find it in the house!
The three of them and the dog rushed downstairs and headed towards the corner of the dormitory building.

Passing through the shadows, under the dim streetlights ahead, the red-clad female corpse floated eerily dozens of meters away.

The moment Ran Qing and the other two reached the corner, they even saw the red-clad female corpse stop coldly and glance back at them.

—Even though the woman in red was covered by a veil, the three of them still felt like they were being watched.

It gave Ran Qing and the other two a cold look, then silently floated to the large iron gate at the end of the road.

The mottled iron gate and the walls covered with vines and ivy inside looked like a school or a government office.

Ran Qing and the other two stood frozen at the intersection, suddenly hesitant to go forward.

The red-clad female corpse's intentions were too obvious; she was clearly trying to lure the three of them over, leading them all the way to behind that large iron gate.

Mo Li asked in a low voice, somewhat doubtful, "Ran Qing, if your father isn't around, will the corpses he keeps harm people...?"

Whether it's corpse refining or corpse raising, once the corpse tamer of this unorthodox and evil art passes away, the corpse they controlled in life must be cremated as soon as possible, or a disciple must be found to inherit it.

Otherwise, unclaimed corpses will inevitably cause trouble.

Because these artificially cultivated evil corpses, apart from being controlled and manipulated by humans, are essentially no different from zombies and evil spirits.

Ran Qing stared at the mottled and rusty iron gate for several seconds, and just as she was about to speak, her vision suddenly blurred.

In the light fog, he actually saw Ran Jianfei leading the red-clad female corpse into the large iron gate.

After Ran Jianfei stepped through the large iron gate, several eerie shadows seemed to drift and float into the gate from the darkness...

"Ran Qing? Ran Qing!"

Mo Li's call rang out again, and Ran Qing, who was in a psychic state, suddenly came back to her senses.

To his surprise, he saw that his companions, Mo Li and Long Zongshu, had already moved away from him uneasily, retreating to a distance of two meters.

Little Cotton, huddled at Mo Li's feet, looked at him with a terrified expression, as if he were a ghost.

Ran Qing was taken aback by the three people's wariness and fear.

He said, "I've become a psychic again..."

The perspective I just saw was clearly the scene from last night when the evil spirit watched Ran Jianfei fly in.

Just as Ran Qing was about to share the information he had seen with his companions, Mo Li nervously pointed at him and cautiously reminded him.

"your hands……"

Mo Li's cautious reminder startled Ran Qing.

He subconsciously looked down and saw his own hands.

Under the dim light of the streetlights, his hands turned deathly pale, and strange, long, black fingernails grew from his ten slender fingers.

Terrifying like a zombie or demon.

Ran Qing's expression suddenly changed.
