Chapter 117 Burying the Corpse
——Who is this?

Zhou You was slightly taken aback.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the female ghost's black hair grew like multiplying snakes, layer upon layer, and in the blink of an eye, it came down like a waterfall!

Forget it, we'll think about that later. Let's subdue this guy first!
Zhou You immediately turned his hand over, and Duan Xie flashed by like a firefly.

Her black hair suddenly broke off.

At the same time, a sharp, piercing scream also rang out.

"You are not him, you are not him at all, why, why are you stopping us!!!"

—It was the same sound he had heard before.

Zhou You remained silent, only holding the Broken Evil in his hand, taking another step closer.

As the sword struck, black hair scattered like snowflakes, so fast that even the female ghost couldn't react in time.

—Although the Sumeru Sword Technique was cut down by the system, it was still the signature sword technique that suppressed half of the Xuan Yuan Shangren of Cangzhou. Even if it was only at the beginner level, it was by no means something that a mere ghost could match.

The sword light surged like waves, one after another, its icy sharpness forming an insurmountable barrier. No matter how hard the female ghost tried, she couldn't push the black hair any further.

Seeing that all the attacks were in vain, the yin energy that constituted the ghost suddenly shifted and transformed back into a worker wearing a hard hat.

However, his body was already more than half rotten, as if he had been hit head-on by some heavy object. Everywhere he looked was a bloody mess. He let out a shriek, and the yin energy in the warehouse surged. Suddenly, several skulls emerged from them, baring their teeth and claws as they bit at Zhou You!

However, with just a slight turn of the sword, the few wisps of yin energy were completely dispersed.

Then, the ghost's form changed again.

He was a middle-aged man with glasses and a refined demeanor.

There was a deep ligature mark on its neck, and half a rope was still hanging from it, clearly indicating that it had been strangled to death.

It didn't make any move, but just stared intently at Zhou You. Zhou You felt his throat tighten and his trachea being forcibly compressed, and he was about to suffer the same fate as this ghost.

But the next moment, a truthful statement rang out.

"Om".

The ghost seemed to have suffered a severe blow, taking several steps back before transforming again.
But no matter what appearance he took, Zhou You's steps were always steady and forward.

--too weak.

A silent sigh as he wandered around.

The ghost felt incredibly weak to him.

Aside from its ability to conjure a hospital using the memories of this land, which is somewhat commendable, its other abilities are far inferior to those of the monsters in the script.

Even Aoyama-kun, who was easily killed, was stronger than it.

—Think about your own little girl. Are all the monsters and ghosts in real life like this?

However, Zhou You quickly stopped thinking about these things. With a flick of his sword, he was less than three feet away from the ghost. At this distance, a single charge would be enough to decapitate the ghost.

But he didn't do that.

The black hair was gradually cut off by the sword light, and soon, the ghostly figure transformed back into the girl's appearance.

Perhaps aware of the vast difference in strength, or perhaps having completely exhausted her power, the female ghost ceased her attack, instead gazing at Zhou You with a malevolent and desperate look.

"Why, why wasn't it him who came? Why, why are you stopping us? Why—"

The screams grew increasingly piercing, but Zhou You paid no attention to them. Instead, he frowned slightly and suddenly asked a question.

"The one you keep repeating about."

"—Could it be that Peng Jiayan?"

Upon hearing the name, the female ghost's voice faltered, and then her face instantly twisted into an extremely ferocious expression. The yin energy throughout the storage room began to boil, and countless strands of black hair surged from the walls—

Upon hearing this name, the female ghost disregarded the risk of her body disintegrating and immediately prepared to fight him to the death!
The evil spirit trembled instantly, as if it had sensed the malice and was preparing to kill the ghost immediately.

However, Zhou You gripped the hilt of his sword and silently calmed the restlessness.

Then, he reached into his satchel and flicked the jade chime with his finger.

A crisp ringing sound echoed in the small room, momentarily suppressing the screams. Brilliant light shone within, and the wildly growing hair, like snow in the height of summer, melted away in the blink of an eye.

The female ghost, her body emitting scorching blue smoke, curled up on the ground.

Even so, its gaze, filled with hatred and malice, did not diminish in the slightest. It stared intently at Zhou You, as if trying to look beyond his ordinary body to someone far away elsewhere.

Zhou You crouched down and looked at the ghost's face.

Hello, this is our first time meeting.

The female ghost remained silent, but maintained that expression that made people want to devour her.

Zhou You's expression remained unchanged.

"Well then, I won't waste any more time on small talk. I just want to ask you one question."

Staring intently at the female ghost, Zhou You took a deep breath and then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Where exactly did Peng Jiayan bury your bodies?"

The female ghost's expression finally changed. She tilted her head back, looking at Zhou You as if in disbelief. Then, she suddenly turned her head and looked to the other side.

There was nothing there, absolutely nothing.

But Zhou You still went over, and using the lingering sunlight, lay down on the ground and began to observe carefully.

After a while, he did discover some problems.

One patch of soil in the corner looked noticeably newer than the rest.

At this moment, the radiance brought by the bone jade chime slowly faded, but the female ghost who was lying on the ground did not make a move again. Instead, she stared blankly at that spot.

Zhou You stopped talking, turned on his flashlight, found a shovel in the warehouse, and started digging.

Once, twice, three times.
After swinging the shovel countless times, suddenly, I felt a slight sensation of something foreign coming from the handle.

Zhou You leaned over to take a look, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

Right before his eyes, beneath the damp soil, something pale was peeking out.

It wasn't steel bars, but bones.

The bones were carefully processed, the flesh and blood removed, and the body destroyed to cover up the crime.

Zhou You counted them and found that although they were mixed together and could not be identified, there were at least four maxillae.

In other words, at least four people have been buried here.

The identity of the murderer is no longer relevant.

Zhou You squatted down and reached out to touch each of the bones one by one.

This doesn't mean he has any other ideas, but rather he wants to see if he can successfully activate his 'eye of cause and effect' through multiple attempts.

Persistence pays off. A few minutes later, when he touched a leg bone, his vision suddenly shattered, and then some images appeared.

　Thank you Dao Linxian for the 100-point reward, thank you Li Qi for the 100-point reward, and thank you book friend 20190501084812542 for the 100-point reward.
