"Can you tell me what's wrong with me right now..." Leng Yihan originally came here with the idea of killing ghosts, but when she saw that Cheng Tong seemed to know what was going on with her, she changed her mind.
"Okay, okay, don't be so afraid of me. I've been very restrained. If you can put away your dagger and talk to me peacefully, I don't mind telling you everything I know," Cheng Tong said. "But... you also have to do me a favor."
"What kind of help?" Leng Yihan asked. If the help wasn't too much, Leng Yihan wouldn't mind helping Cheng Tong. "Do you know why I became a vengeful ghost?" Cheng Tong suddenly asked Leng Yihan a question.
"...Because he died on an unlucky day and at an unlucky time, and his birth date and time also matched that, the method of killing him was extremely cruel, resulting in a lot of resentment and him suffering a great injustice...Is that so?" Leng Yihan gave Cheng Tong this answer after thinking for a while. Cheng Tong nodded in satisfaction after hearing it, "Not bad, you've got most of it, but mine is different..."
"Were you forcibly transformed into a vengeful ghost?" Leng Yihan immediately replied. If that were the case, it might explain why Cheng Tong could be so rational now. Because the resentment of a vengeful ghost is far less intense than that of an ordinary vengeful ghost, it is easier to suppress and the rationality can be maintained for a longer period of time.
“Oh? That’s right. I was artificially transformed into a vengeful ghost. But like you said, even to become a vengeful ghost, you need to meet a great many conditions. So right now, there are only seven vengeful ghosts in the entire Jinshan City, and they are all within a hundred miles of me.” After Cheng Tong finished speaking, Leng Yihan immediately retorted, “Are you saying that the most prosperous place in the entire Jinshan City is actually the place where the most vengeful ghosts gather?”
“That’s right, it’s because it’s the most prosperous city with the most people that ‘they’ are looking for suitable people here in Jinshan City. Unfortunately… they found them, and then I became like this.” Cheng Tong helplessly spread his hands. “So, I want to ask you to help me take down ‘they’… By the way, we absolutely can’t let that little girl face ‘they’. Her birth date is very special, and she herself cultivated immortality, but for some reason, her cultivation has dissipated, but the foundation is still there. If she becomes a vengeful ghost, she will also have a lot of resentment…” As Cheng Tong spoke, Leng Yihan knew what was going to happen. “I’m afraid the whole city will suffer… By the way, they both cultivated immortality, right…” Leng Yihan shook her head with a headache.
"Oh, by the way, you don't need to worry about that blonde girl. Although her birthday is also unlucky, if 'they' dare to turn her into a vengeful ghost, they'll probably unleash all her power." Cheng Tong said.
"Ah...as expected, they're all quite formidable." Leng Yihan scratched her head. "So, what should I do?"
“It’s simple. Tell Uncle Pingfan to tell his family, and by the way, his real name is Lin Fan.” Cheng Tong.
"Huh?" Leng Yihan looked at Cheng Tong in bewilderment. "Looking for his family?"
“His family isn’t simple, and I can’t say anything more at this point. Please tell him about my current situation and have him tell his family. I believe you know how to ask. He usually likes to relax at a great coffee shop near our company on the 2nd of every month, from 6:00 to 7:00. The coffee shop is called New Coffee, and it’s across from Jinshan Shopping Mall. You can find it easily.” Cheng Tong said, as if he had suddenly fallen into a memory. “Ah… it was quite fun to fight him for the bill back then. He’s very ordinary-looking and likes to sit in the corner. Thank you for your help.” Halfway through his recollection, he looked at Leng Yihan again.
“No problem.” Leng Yihan nodded. Anyway, he was quite interested in Uncle Pingfan. “Oh, by the way, let me tell you about your current situation now.” Cheng Tong.
“Your current situation is very special. How should I put it... your so-called 'physical body' is actually just condensed from some kind of powerful spiritual energy, but this is useless and will only increase your pain. It would be better to turn this powerful spiritual energy into a means of attack.”
"It seems that your soul has been protected by some strange means. If someone wants to destroy your soul, then you must want to be destroyed by them. Otherwise, no one can truly kill you."
"From my observation, the spiritual energy that forms your physical body should be controllable. It's more like a test left for you. If you can control this spiritual energy, you can reach a state like mine now." As soon as Cheng Tong finished speaking, he disappeared. Leng Yihan immediately turned around and found that Cheng Tong had appeared behind her at some point.
"That's all I know, but you'll have to figure out the specifics yourself... Oh, by the way, if you want to return to your original form, all you have to do is kiss someone~ I think those two girls who were having barbecue today were quite interested in you~" Cheng Tong said, making a funny face.
"...Are there any other methods?" Leng Yihan asked.
“Yes, he was killed, but he can’t take anything back with him. Here, take this.” As soon as Cheng Tong finished speaking, he took out a watch from somewhere and handed it to Leng Yihan. “This is a watch that Uncle Pingfan gave me. He made it by hand. I believe he can trust you now that he sees it.”
"...Then I'll go back. By the way, what if he wants to come see you?" Leng Yihan was about to leave when she suddenly remembered this question and asked.
"No, otherwise I might go berserk." Cheng Tong shook his head with a smile, but Leng Yihan saw a hint of loneliness in his smile. "Let's go, goodbye." With that, Cheng Tong waved to Leng Yihan.
"Goodbye." Leng Yihan said goodbye and turned to leave, while Cheng Tong watched her go, a bitter smile appearing on her face...
-
"Ah...so why is this the way back..." Leng Yihan irritably tousled his hair, glancing at the two women on the bed. "Never mind...Xiaoyin is my girlfriend anyway, it'll be fine..." With this in mind, Leng Yihan climbed onto the bed, looked at Lin Yin's lips, hesitated for a long time, and then kissed her. The next moment, he felt himself surrounded by darkness, only his consciousness remained clear.
"Is she back..." Leng Yihan thought, slowly opening her eyes which she had just closed. What came into view was Lin Yin's open eyes, and in her eyes... there were all sorts of indescribable emotions.
"Ah...it's so soft in my mouth..." Thinking this, Leng Yihan touched the soft thing with her tongue, and then suddenly remembered something. After her tongue left Lin Yin's mouth, her lips parted, and Leng Yihan stared blankly at Lin Yin, who was pinned down by her.
"What are you doing! You're acting like a beast so early in the morning!" Lin Yin said in embarrassment and indignation. She didn't dare to speak too loudly because Leng Binglan was in the next bed. "Ah...so early in the morning!" Leng Yihan immediately turned around and looked at the time. It was exactly 5:00.
"You bastard..." Lin Yin's voice gradually grew louder and louder, indicating her anger.
"How long do you intend to keep me pinned down?!" With that, Lin Yin exerted all her strength and threw Leng Yihan off the bed, also waking up the sleeping Leng Binglan.
"Whoa... What are you doing!" Leng Binglan was startled by the sound of Leng Yihan being thrown to the floor. She looked at Lin Yin with a confused expression, then at Leng Yihan, who had just gotten up from the ground.
"Ah...do you guys want to keep sleeping? I have to go out for a bit to meet someone."
"Huh? Who are you looking for!"
Leng Binglan and Lin Yin asked in unison once again, or rather... questioned, "Uncle Pingfan," Leng Yihan replied.
-
"Hehe, I'm so glad the wild woman can't come along~" Leng Binglan was brazenly clinging to Leng Yihan's arm at this moment. The reason why Lin Yin wasn't allowed to come was because Leng Yihan said, "This is about our Yin-Yang Masters. Are you sure you still want to come?" Then Lin Yin continued to lie on the bed and sleep, and asked Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan to bring her a breakfast.
"You better watch out... I've found out a lot of things from Cheng Tong."
"Huh? How did you find out, brother?" Leng Binglan asked curiously.
"What's your parallel world like?" Leng Yihan asked this seemingly nonsensical question, and Leng Binglan obediently shut her mouth. What she meant was: That's my secret.
It was already 6:15 a.m., and the two had arrived at the coffee shop called New Coffee. After pushing open the door, Leng Yihan immediately glanced around the corner of the coffee shop and quickly spotted a familiar face...
Leng Yihan stepped forward and stopped opposite Uncle Pingfan. Uncle Pingfan also sensed someone standing opposite him and looked up in confusion at Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan behind him.
"Excuse me, are you Lin Fan?" Leng Yihan asked. Uncle Pingfan looked at Leng Yihan's face for a long time, then looked at Leng Binglan's face and asked uncertainly, "Are you... Jihan and... Lanyue?"
"Yes, can we sit down and talk to you?"
"Oh, please sit down, please sit down," Uncle Pingfan said hurriedly. Actually, although he is called an uncle, he is only 28 years old this year, and he is still two years away from reaching the level of an uncle. However, he looks very mature.
"How did you two know my real name?" Uncle Pingfan asked this question as soon as they sat down. Leng Yihan didn't answer him, but instead took out the watch Cheng Tong had given him and placed it in front of Uncle Pingfan. "This watch..." Uncle Pingfan glanced at it for a few moments, then seemed to notice something. He quickly picked it up and examined it closely, then looked up at Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan in surprise, "This is mine..."
“That’s right, this is the watch you gave to Cheng Tong. You might not believe me, but Cheng Tong… in a sense, he’s still alive, isn’t he?” Leng Yihan said, looking at Uncle Pingfan with concern, worried that he wouldn’t believe her. But Uncle Pingfan nodded. “Is that so… that’s good. Did he send you to find me?” Uncle Pingfan asked.
“That’s right, because this matter involves the real cause of Cheng Tong’s death. After he found me, he told me that if I found your family, they could solve it…” Leng Yihan finished speaking and quietly looked at the silent Uncle Pingfan.
"Can you tell me what his current situation is?" After a long silence, Uncle Pingfan asked.
“He… became a vengeful ghost who can control himself, but not because he was killed. He was forcibly transformed into a vengeful ghost, but he’s doing quite well.” After Leng Yihan finished speaking, the three of them fell into a long silence again.
"...Being turned into a vengeful ghost... My family are all ordinary people, they might not have a way to solve this." Uncle Pingfan muttered to himself in confusion, but he still took out his phone and called someone.
"Hey, Dad."
"Yes, it's Xiao Fan."
Do you believe that some people can be transformed into vengeful ghosts?
"Yes, I know one. He was my friend when he was alive."
"Huh?" During the rest of the phone call, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan witnessed Uncle Pingfan's expression change from calm to sadness, then to bewilderment, and finally to shock.
"What the hell?! Really? Dad? You guys have been investigating people who convert vengeful spirits for a long time?"
"Oh, it's not you... What? It's your uncle's family?!"
"Wait... so our family are exorcists?!"
"What?! You don't want to inherit the exorcism technique..."
"I'm sorry, Dad... I was rude..."
Leng Yihan looked at Leng Binglan with a puzzled expression. Did exorcists really exist in this world?
"Hmm...right, oh, should I take my uncle to meet him?"
"I didn't find out... I just know that someone told me. I'll give him the phone." With that, Uncle Pingfan handed the phone to Leng Yihan. Leng Yihan took the phone and put it to her ear, saying, "Hello, my name is Leng Yihan."
"So you encountered a transformed vengeful ghost? Where is he?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Um… if it’s convenient, I can take you to see him. I don’t live in Jinshan (the big city is called Jinshan City, the city center is Jinshan, and Leng Yihan lives in the remote Fen University, yes, it’s the same Fen University that was renamed), so I don’t know him…”
"When are you available? It might take us a little time to prepare." - Uncle Pingfan's father.
"Okay, I'll leave you a phone number, just this one, call me when you're ready."
"Thank you for your help." After saying that, Uncle Pingfan's father hung up the phone. Leng Yihan also handed the phone back to Uncle Pingfan, got up, and prepared to leave to have breakfast.
"Um... Jihan, I have a question," Uncle Pingfan said, "Can I see Cheng Tong one more time?"
"I'm sorry," Leng Yihan apologized. Uncle Pingfan sighed and continued looking at his phone while eating the breakfast he had bought at the coffee shop.
Next, all they had to do was wait for Uncle Pingfan's family to be ready so they could take them to see Cheng Tong. Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan went to a roadside stall and ate two plates of rice noodle rolls, and also bought a box of rice noodle rolls to go. The two quickly rushed back to the hotel. It was already seven o'clock. After they put down their breakfast, an unfamiliar phone number called Leng Yihan.
"Are you Leng Yihan?" the person on the other end of the line asked as soon as the call connected. "Ah...yes."
"I'm Uncle Pingfan's uncle. Please go to the breakfast shop near you, Doujiang Wang. I'll wait for you here. That's all." Then he hung up the phone so quickly that Leng Yihan was stunned.
"This... I have a feeling his uncle is a bit scary..."
“Me too…” Leng Binglan nodded in agreement with Leng Yihan’s idea. Leng Yihan had just turned on speakerphone, and she had also heard what Uncle Pingfan and her uncle said, which did indeed give her a somewhat frightening feeling…
"Then let's go quickly."
"Ok!"
72. About Lin Kang and Goodbye Cheng Tong
After a few minutes, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan arrived at the entrance of Soy Milk King, a breakfast shop not far from the hotel. After glancing around to make sure no one was there, they were about to go in when someone grabbed their shoulders. At that moment, both of them lost control of their bodies and stood frozen in place.
"Oh? Not bad, both of you are destined for immortality. It's just a pity that our world's cultivation methods are incomplete." As soon as the person behind the two finished speaking, the hands that had been pressing on them were released, and Leng Yihan regained control of her body. After regaining control, Leng Yihan immediately glanced at Leng Binglan beside her. It seemed that she was back to normal.
"Who are you?" Leng Yihan turned her head and looked at the man who resembled Uncle Pingfan in some ways, but not quite, and who looked a little older than Uncle Pingfan.
"I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, I am Lin Kang, one of the few exorcists in the world. I am Lin Fan's uncle." After Lin Kang finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, seemingly waiting for something.
"...Ah, my name is Leng Yihan, hello."
"My name is Leng Binglan..." Leng Yihan introduced herself after realizing it, and Leng Binglan followed suit and introduced herself to Lin Kang after seeing Leng Yihan do this.
"Okay, it's still too early, but I need to make arrangements. Take me there now." Lin Kang said.
"Um... I have a few questions I'd like to ask..." Leng Binglan asked softly, "What questions?"
"First... how old are you? Second... what are your plans after you find Cheng Tong? Third... how should we address you?" After asking these questions, Leng Binglan unconsciously hid behind Leng Yihan. There was something strange about the person in front of her.
"Hmm... I'm about seventy years old this year." Lin Kang's answer after thinking for a moment startled Leng Yihan, but Leng Binglan remained relatively calm. "Seventy... seventy years old... not bad..." Leng Yihan smiled awkwardly, and Lin Kang continued, "You can just call me Uncle Kang. And what am I going to do with Cheng Tong... send him into reincarnation."
"Entering the cycle of reincarnation..." Upon hearing this, Leng Yihan inexplicably thought of the four BOSSes she had killed in the Sealed Demon Valley. "For him, who is half-dead, it would be a good choice."
"elder brother……"
"Alright, enough talk, lead the way." After Lin Kang finished speaking, he patted Leng Yihan's back forcefully to wake her up from her daze. After Leng Yihan came back to her senses, she quickly led Lin Kang towards the barbecue stall from last night.
It was getting late, but thankfully it wasn't the weekend. This road was a residential area leading to the amusement park, and it would be packed with people on weekends or public holidays. But this made it easier for Lin Kang to set up the road, and it also ensured that passersby wouldn't get hurt.
Soon, the three arrived at the barbecue stall. Cheng Tong had been waiting there for a long time. He waved politely when he saw them, seemingly unaware of what he was about to face. But he knew for sure that he would soon be free.
"Yo, here we come."
"As expected... and quite strong at that. You must be 'their' most successful creation, right?" Lin Kang asked Cheng Tong after glancing at him a few times, having only met him briefly.
"Yes, oh right." After that, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan could no longer hear what Cheng Tong said. They could only see Lin Kang 'listening' to Cheng Tong very carefully, nodding from time to time.
"They probably used soundproof barriers or some kind of sound transmission method to prevent us from hearing it," Leng Yihan casually asked Leng Binglan beside her.
"Ah...it seems to be telepathy," Leng Binglan said. She could vaguely 'see' the telepathy, but because her strength had greatly decreased, she couldn't see it very clearly.
"By the way... Binglan, take good care of yourself." Leng Yihan remembered what Cheng Tong had said earlier and reminded Leng Binglan beside her. "Understood." Leng Binglan nodded, and at this moment, their conversation ended, and Leng Yihan could continue to hear what they were saying.
"Alright, let's begin."
