The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 105 Damn it
"I'm fine." Zhong Kui's voice came, returning to his usual calmness, even indifference.

"Do you know what happened in Hong Mei's room?" Qi Fei asked cautiously.

"Of course, Zhong Xiaoyu is the main personality of this body. I can know everything she does when she's in charge, but she doesn't know what I do when I'm around."

"Then you know why she pointed at me just now, right?"

"Zhong Xiaoyu wasn't conscious just now. I could sense that she was being eroded by some force. The memories she suppressed and didn't want me to see were eating away at her rationality."

Qi Fei felt relieved upon hearing this: "When she pointed at me just now, I began to doubt myself. That look was so oppressive."

Zhong Kui seemed not to have heard his words. As if fully recovered, she immediately sat up straight. She looked at herself in the mirror with a sharp look and said, "I think it's time for our drama to end."

"So sudden?" Qi Fei was so confused for the first time and had no idea what Zhong Kui had found in that room.

"Hmph, if that guy Zhong Xiaoyu hadn't suddenly shown up to cause trouble, you would have witnessed the miraculous sight of Hong Mei's resurrection." Zhong Kui said coldly.

Just as she finished speaking, Bao Chuchu knocked on the door: "Great Immortal, are you feeling better? It's almost time. Everything has been arranged according to your previous instructions."

Qi Fei looked at Zhong Kui in confusion: "What did you order before?"

Zhong Kui raised the corner of his mouth: "You will know in a moment."

Before they knew it, the sky had darkened again. The corridors of the Cloudshen Secret Realm were typical Chinese-style corridors, each step offering a different level of refinement. The depths of a classical garden, shadowed by the dim light of red lanterns at night, carried a natural, dark atmosphere. Those dark corners of the rocks seemed to harbor a pair of fierce eyes, watching their every move, forcing them to turn back for a second look.

"Why didn't you mention the ghost story here when we came to investigate?" Qi Fei asked Bao Chuchu, who was leading the way.

"Why, are the police still responsible for catching ghosts now?" Bao Chuchu was sharp-tongued, still expressing her dissatisfaction with Qi Fei.

"Any abnormal phenomenon is a clue!" Qi Fei was not to be outdone.

Zhong Kui listened to the two people talking and smiled. "You two are really talking at cross purposes. They didn't tell you about the haunting because even if the actress was murdered, the murderer could still be found. But if it was haunted, then Yunshen Secret Realm would have to be closed down." Zhong Kui said to Qi Fei, "They don't want this incident to be linked to Hong Mei's death."

Then she looked at the surroundings and said, "The door faces the forest, which means disasters and diseases are likely to occur. And you've planted so many vines and displayed so many antiques, it's really adding to the gloom. It would be strange if there weren't some ghostly aura. Didn't you have someone look at the feng shui?"

"Of course I have seen it. I went to see the famous Golden Snake Immortal." Bao Chuchu said immediately.

"It's this guy again?" Zhong Kui said contemptuously, "After I guessed the haunting, you looked for him, right?" "We wouldn't dare. The Golden Snake Immortal was..." Bao Chuchu glanced at Qi Fei, "President Qi contacted him personally."

"Oh." Qi Fei said contemptuously, "He's a fearless person. When did he become superstitious?"

"It seems that you really know nothing about your father all these years." Zhong Kui said with hidden meaning.

The three of them had already arrived at the backyard, only to see four people already waiting there, gathered around a pot of charcoal fire, still hunching their necks and rubbing their hands, shivering from the cold.

Zhong Kui, wearing her scarlet cloak, sat opposite them, glancing at each of them and saying, "Come on, tell me how you saw the ghost."

It turned out that Zhong Kui asked Bao Chuchu to gather all the people who had seen ghosts to the backyard, and have them sit in a row in the sunken open space, which was quite similar to the idea of ​​sitting in a row and eating fruit.

"You are all people who claim to have seen ghosts, right?" Zhong Kui glanced at everyone, including Bao Chuchu, waiter Xiao Sun, cleaning lady Aunt Liu, security guard Xiao Guo and handyman Xiao Wang.

Her eyes first fell on Bao Chuchu: "You've already told me what you saw, but since we're all here today, why don't you tell me again?"

Bao Chuchu cooperated very well and began to talk: "I said that I usually patrol at night. One day when I passed by here, I suddenly saw that place above." Bao Chuchu pointed to a place two stories high in the sky, "In that place, there was a woman with long hair and no legs, floating in the air. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. I thought I was seeing things, but when I lowered my head and looked up again, the ghost appeared again. I hurriedly took the flashlight in my hand to shine it, and the ghost seemed to be afraid of light. When my flashlight was shone on it, it disappeared in an instant. However, I was not the first one to see this ghost. Before that, Xiao Li and I I've said this before. Frankly, I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking it was just a little girl's misjudgment. But when I saw it with my own eyes that night, I was truly shocked. Of course, I'm professionally trained, so I reported the incident to General Qi immediately. General Qi is a very open-minded leader. Even when I reported such an outrageous thing to him, he didn't immediately question me. However, when I suggested asking the Golden Snake Immortal for a solution, General Qi refused. He said the Golden Snake Immortal couldn't help with the matter, so I had to give up. That's when I thought of you. Everyone in Sanwu Town knows that you are very good at exorcism."

When Qi Fei heard Bao Chuchu praising Qidong Jun, he rolled his eyes to the sky.

Zhong Kui was only concerned about the part about ghosts that Bao Chuchu mentioned, and turned to Xiao Sun with an expressionless face.

When Xiao Sun was being watched, he couldn't help but curl up and hide behind Bao Chuchu.

Zhong Kui stared at her face and asked in her ethereal voice, "What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Sun muttered, "You, you look like a dead person..."

Hearing her say this, Zhong Kui was not angry at all. Instead, he showed an expression of interest in Xiao Sun: "It seems that you are very talented in psychic communication. No wonder you are the first one to see a ghost. Come on, tell me where you saw it?"

After hearing this, Xiao Sun seemed to still remember the scene of seeing the ghost that day. He tightened his grip on Bao Chuchu's hands and said in a trembling voice, "Actually... it was in the suite where Miss Hong was staying. That night, I remembered that Mr. Huang asked to send flowers to Miss Hong, and I needed to prepare a vase in the room first. I thought I would put the vase there before going to bed..."
