I Wasn't Born Lucky

Chapter 86

In the corridor of Chen Meiyou's friend's house, the two people paid attention to their surroundings and heard another loud bang. It wasn't an attack. This ghost was very weak, as if it was an invisible child pushing things down all over the building to grab their attention and delay them.

Han Jin asked Xie Zeqing, "What should we do?"

"The breath is very weak... I'll try and drive it out." Xie Zeqing didn't let down his guard because of the ghost's weakness. He released the ghost shadow on his arm while pulling out a rhino horn and a lighter from his pocket, lighting it.

A faint smoke rose slowly. The ancient exorcism thing from the Xie family really played a role. The strange sound never appeared again.

Han Jin's eyes towards Xie Zeqing were different as he said, "Shall we go now?"

"Wait, for insurance, I'll call a spirit here to ask." Seeing that time was passing by, Xie Zeqing raised his right index finger to his mouth, biting it and squeezing out a drop of blood from it. He drew a secret, twisted pattern in the air and spoke softly, "Lingering here for a long time, soul who is unwilling to leave, please show up."

This was what Xie Zeqing was good at. He was born with a ghost body and in addition to being able to sense ghosts, he could summon ghosts that weren't greater than the strength of his soul.

The souls summoned in this way were relatively weak and incomplete. They couldn't be compared to the instance ghosts but they would give some clues. It was just that Xie Zeqing never called the souls like this after meeting Xiao Li because Xiao Li didn't play according to common sense.

This time, there was no interference from Xiao Li and he succeeded. A translucent spirit emerged in the air. She looked very gentle and was a stooped old woman who had lived here. She was an elderly person who had just died.

Xie Zeqing skillfully asked, "Old lady, do you know anything about Wu Yanjia who lives on the fourth floor?"

The old woman's soul wasn't complete. She watched Xie Zeqing for a while before slowly saying, "That little girl... she is good but she sometimes easily loses her temper."

"Have you ever seen her female friend; a dance teacher called Chen Meiyou?"

"Yes... I used to see her a lot, but not recently..."

"When was the last time you saw Chen Meiyou?"

"Last month, they argued. The very beautiful girl came with a bag of fruit to find Wu Yanjia. I live upstairs and the soundproofing here isn't good. I heard Wu Yanjia yelling but I didn't hear what they were saying since I didn't listen carefully."

Xie Zeqing pondered on it for a few seconds. Then he reached out and waved away the broken soul of the ghost in front of him.

On the other side, Han Jin was impressed with Xie Zeqing and said, "Should we go back to ask Wu Yanjia? She didn't tell us this detail. I don't know if she regarded it as not important or deliberately concealed it."

Xie Zeqing said, "No, we'll go to the others first."

"But—"

"Are you questioning me?" Xie Zeqing half looked up and deliberately lowered his voice. He learned from Xiao Li's usual manner of talking and a strong breath exuded from his body.

Han Jin, "......"

He made an 'I'll listen to you' gesture and ran downstairs with Xie Zeqing.

At their destination, Wang Gang's house, Xiao Li was holding the mobile phone and listening to the ghost on the other end. Xiao Li's first reaction was to look at the window.
