Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!
Chapter 57 Calling Back the Soul
After checking him over, the person lying on the ground was still muttering, "Help, help."
Even though there was no danger anymore, there was still no sign of him waking up. Xia Wange pulled off a few strands of his hair, tied them to the red thread that had just passed over his body, and handed the red thread and hair to Du Yun: "Go to that rock over there, light this on fire, and then call his name."
"Calling back the soul?" Du Yun grabbed the red thread and ran off immediately. "I have a loud voice, I'm good at this."
After they came to a stop, Du Yun lit the rope and froze. "Sister Xia, what were you shouting? What's his name?"
"His name is Sun Cheng!"
Du Yun gave a thumbs up, "Wow, Sister Xia, you're amazing! You even predicted this!"
"I just went through his wallet, didn't you see? His name was on it." Xia Wange sighed heavily. "I'm telling you, you guys are more superstitious than someone like me who practices metaphysics. Can't you manage?"
Du Yun: "..."
At this moment, the driver, Xiao Liu, ran over with a disposable bath towel and a paper bag. "Sister Xia, these are the clothes that Mr. Lu asked me to prepare. There's also a dryer and a hair dryer in the car. Do you need to take care of them now? The car is right by the main road."
Xia Wange glanced at the bath towel in her hand, then at Lu Qiu who was looking at her, and felt a warmth in her heart. In the past, she would always deal with the mud and water herself after rolling around in it, unlike now where she had a car and a dryer.
That's incredibly extravagant.
Thinking this to herself, Xia Wange wasn't one to suffer, so she gave a few instructions, grabbed her clothes, and ran to the car, leaving only Lu Qiu, Cao Niannian, Zhou Xingwang, Du Yun who was calling out the soul, and the driver, Xiao Liu, who couldn't get back in the car.
When Xiao Liu went to look for the baby, it was the first time he had ever seen such things. At the same time, he accompanied the other party and the child to the hospital that day. When he saw the scene of Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue's mother-in-law and Xiao Xue's husband arguing in the hospital, Xiao Liu felt that ghosts were not as scary as the human heart.
Especially those who favored sons over daughters, when they saw their granddaughter being rescued and realized they could no longer hide the truth, they completely stopped pretending and kept saying that they were too kind-hearted. They only asked someone to throw her into the well, giving her a chance to live, and that they should have thrown her into the river to drown her back then.
The child's biological father, however, continued to try to smooth things over despite the situation.
This made him so angry that he almost rushed up to beat someone up, but Xiao Xue stopped him.
"Sun Cheng! Sun Cheng! Come back quickly!"
"Sun Cheng!~~~~"
"Chengcheng~~"
"Chengna~ Chengchengna~ Come back soon~ I can't take it anymore~"
Xiao Liu chuckled at Du Yun's strange cries over there, scratched his head, and joked, "What's Manager Du doing over there? It's like he's calling back a soul, haha."
"It's like calling back the soul," Cao Niannian said.
"Hehe...hehe cough cough cough." Xiao Liu's smile stopped, and his expression froze.
Sure enough, he still wasn't quite used to the rhythm of the event when Master Xia was present.
Not long after, Du Yun returned, the thread and rope now completely burned. "How is he? How is he? Is he awake?"
"Not yet," Cao Niannian said, "but she's stopped talking nonsense."
"That was quite effective; she should wake up soon." Du Yun glanced around. "Where's Sister Xia?"
Cao Niannian replied, "I went to the car to change my clothes."
Everyone fell silent for a moment. After waiting for less than a minute, Du Yun rubbed his arms and said, "When Sister Xia was here, I didn't feel that it was that dark. Now that she's gone, I suddenly feel a bit cold."
"I suddenly feel a bit cold too," Xiao Liu said. "Boss, should I contact Sister Xia and ask her to bring you a blanket from the car?"
"No need," Lu Qiu said softly. "He's awake."
The four humans and one ghost—five pairs of eyes in total—all looked over, and sure enough, the person on the ground moved.
He slowly opened his eyes, coughed a few times, and then his gaze swept blankly over the group of people before lingering on Zhou Xingwang for a moment. He then looked at Lu Qiu before finally closing his eyes again.
Du Yun shrank back. "Lu Qiu, I think I just saw him looking at Zhou Xingwang."
"I saw it too," Cao Niannian swallowed and whispered.
Lu Qiu stared at the person on the ground. "Me too."
"Um..." Driver Xiao Liu timidly raised his hand, "Excuse me, who is Zhou Xingwang? Is there a fifth person here?"
Du Yun was taken aback, then quickly said, "Oh, I almost forgot, Sister Xia hasn't shown you his true colors yet. Zhou Xingwang is hovering to your left right now. Do you need me to pass on a message and introduce you to each other?"
Xiao Liu shrank closer to Lu Qiu, nervously glancing at the empty space to her left, and said in a trembling voice, "No, no need. Sister Xia must have her reasons for not letting me see it, hehe, hehehehe."
After laughing dryly, Xiao Liu still felt his scalp tingling. No wonder, no wonder when the group stood in their positions, they all left a space for one person to his left. So there was someone next to him, no, there was a ghost!
Seeing his appearance, Du Yun suddenly felt that his shouting in the office wasn't so embarrassing after all. Just as he was about to make a few more teasing remarks, he heard a strange opera-style singing voice coming from the office.
"Whenever I enter the court, I only slightly reveal the frosty edge of the precious sword at my waist..."
Several people stared wide-eyed at the ground and saw Sun Cheng, who had been unconscious, begin to sing opera with his eyes closed. The eerie singing voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Cheng's eyes widened, and he sat up straight, singing as he rose: "The civil and military officials were so frightened that they all turned pale..."
A rushing riverbank, a desolate moonlight, a quiet environment, all accompanied by the singing of traditional opera.
This bizarre scene sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"If I call Sister Xia over now, will Sun Cheng chase after me?" Du Yun whispered, then looked at Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu frowned at the extremely horrifying scene before him, shook his head, and indicated that they should not move for now.
"Only that scoundrel Wang Yun is capable of so many schemes..."
Du Yun looked to Zhou Xingwang for help, but Zhou Xingwang, looking completely bewildered, quickly shook his head. "I'm just an ordinary soul. The only thing I know how to do is explode myself to resemble my appearance before I died. I..."
He couldn't continue, because Sun Cheng stood up straight, suddenly grinning maliciously at the group, his arms stiffly drawing circles as he began to chant, "He's always on my side, but I'm always on guard against him!"
Lu Qiu gave the group a wink, signaling them to prepare to run. They understood immediately, and Du Yun moved slightly behind Lu Qiu and grabbed the wheelchair.
"Wait a minute, when you run, leave me behind," Lu Qiu whispered. "She said these things wouldn't hurt me."
