I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

The So-Called Spirit

These three spheres of light were white, but there was a black aura inside, and the black aura was gradually deepening.

After the three spheres of light landed on the ground, they transformed into Xiao Yue and the middle-aged couple.

“Sister Liu… are we… really dead?” Xiao Yue sat on the ground, her eyes lifeless.

The middle-aged couple was not in a good state either. They hugged each other tightly and trembled.

“Xiao Yue’er, although this news is very cruel, you are indeed dead. You didn’t believe that you were dead, so you turned into spirits.” Liu Xu’s eyes revealed a look of pity. She held the brush in her hand, and her knuckles turned pale.

Spirit was a very special existence.

If a person died with great resentment or under other circumstances, it was very likely that they would become a strange creature.

These strange creatures had no rationality. They only knew how to kill.

However, there was a special situation in between, and that was spirit.

The so-called spirit manifested when a dead person did not believe that they were already dead. They still retained the meaning of their previous life and repeated what they had done when they were alive.

This situation is extremely rare.

But that didn’t mean it was a good thing.

When spirits existed in the world, they would be corroded by the world and gradually develop into strange things.

This speed was very fast. Just like now, the space between Xiao Yue and the middle-aged couple’s eyebrows had already started to turn black.

Moreover, it was also very difficult to discover Spirit because they maintained the same appearance they had when they were alive. They even looked no different from ordinary people.

One could see and touch them, but there was no warmth.

The difference could only be discovered in the most minute of details.

When Liu Xu stayed in the county previously, she had already gotten very familiar with Xiao Yue, so she noticed something amiss.

“Xiao Yue, you should have slowly gained your memories. When you remember the scene of your death, you will turn into a strange creature. At that time, you will lose your rationality.” Liu Xu endured the sadness in her heart and added.

“Sister Liu, I don’t want to lose my rationality.” Xiao Yue tried her best to raise her head, the black gas between her eyebrows was getting thicker.

At this moment, the middle-aged couple finally reacted. As the black aura deepened, they recalled many things.

The middle-aged woman hugged Xiao Yue from behind and gently touched Xiao Yue’s head. Their faces were full of pain.

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Xu and smiled bitterly. “Miss Liu, you want to free us, right?”

Liu Xu nodded without hiding anything. “I will try my best to minimize your pain.”

Before spirits became strange, all their thoughts were no different from ordinary people.

It was extremely painful to eliminate them before that happened. All she could do was alleviate the pain.

As for whether or not she could not eliminate the pain, the answer was no.

If she ignored them and they turned into strange creatures, this matter would turn even more dangerous.

She was a scholar and a capable person. She had to make the right choice at this time.

——Even if it was a painful choice.

“It would be great if there was a Spirit Medium. They would be able to leave without any pain.” Liu Xu sighed.

Spirit mediums threaded needles through Yin and Yang. There was a branch in this industry that could free spirit without pain.

“Miss Liu, we are ready.” The middle-aged woman patted Xiao Yue’s head and comforted her for a while before raising her head.

This decisiveness stunned Liu Xu.

The middle-aged woman smiled. “We can’t cause trouble for the neighbors even if we die.”

“Miss Liu, you don’t have to think about seeking justice for us. You’ll be in trouble. We’re already satisfied that you can send us on our way.” The middle-aged man returned to his wife’s side and opened his arms to hug the middle-aged woman and Xiao Yue.

Liu Xu remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Her grip on the brush was very tight.

This was the first time she experienced this feeling. She could feel a sense of helplessness from Xiao Yue.

“Don’t want to cause trouble for the neighbors…” Liu Xu muttered to herself.

At this moment, the speed of the black gas spreading was gradually increasing, and Xiao Yue and her parents began to lose consciousness.

“Urgh!”

A beast-like roar came from their mouths, revealing a sinister and cold aura.

The consciousness in the middle-aged couple’s eyes was decreasing, and Xiao Yue was also changing.

Xiao Yue’s eyes were dazed as she lowered her head and looked at her slender palm. Her eyes turned from dazed to ferocious.

She recalled that good-looking big brother. The first time that big brother had touched her head.

But what followed was endless coldness.

“I’m really going to die…”

Xiao Yue’s voice was so soft that Liu Xu could not hear her clearly.

At this moment, she knew that she was about to attack. She gritted her teeth and waved the brush in her hand, condensing the word “suppress” in midair.

After this word appeared, Xiao Yue and the middle-aged couple groaned in pain.

The painful process was very short. In the blink of an eye, they turned into white light and disappeared.

Liu Xu was the only one left in the room.

Liu Xu held the brush and took a few steps back. Her face was pale.

Because she retreated too quickly, she almost fell to the ground.

She turned around and looked out of the window. A trace of hesitation flashed across her star-like eyes.

“Teacher, I wonder what answer you will give me…”

Liu Xu’s low moan sounded in the room that was filled with the scent of sandalwood.

…

Time gradually passed. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Xu Bai hadn’t been in good spirits for the past two days.

Every day, other than staring at the tree, he would think about Xiao Yue.

Especially when he thought of the corpse hanging on the beam in his mind and the innocent and cute Xiao Yue, he felt uncomfortable.

Today should be the time that Liu Xu and County Magistrate Zhang had agreed on that night.

Sitting in the backyard with a small stool, Xu Bai stared at the locust tree.

The progress bar was still increasing.

At this moment, Liu Er’s voice came from the front courtyard.

“Brother Xu, there are so many people outside. They’re all heading towards the county office.”

The bodyguards did not dare to enter the backyard. After all, something strange had happened in the courtyard before. Even when they came to look for Xu Bai, they would only shout from afar.

Xu Bai, who was in the middle of working on the progress bar, came back to his senses when he heard Liu Er’s voice.

“The county office?”

“Lots of people?”

Without hesitation, he placed the stool in the backyard, stood up, and walked out of the bodyguard agency.

After leaving the bodyguard agency, Xu Bai saw that many people were walking towards the county office. It was much livelier than usual.

He thought for a moment, held the handle of his Ghost Head Saber, and followed behind this group of people.

The crowd surged and he soon arrived at the county office.

The front door of the county office was open. Two bailiffs stood guard at the door, preventing anyone from entering. A sign stood beside it with a piece of paper stuck to it.

There were densely packed small words on the paper, and many people were watching.

As they watched, noisy discussions could be heard.

“So many people?” Xu Bai frowned. He was too far away to hear what was being discussed.

Usually, when the county office announced important news, they would post a notice here. Xu Bai guessed that the content should be related to what he wanted to know.

After much effort, he finally squeezed through the crowd and reached the sign.

Many people were squeezed by him and wanted to turn around and curse, but when they saw the sinister Ghost Head Saber at Xu Bai’s waist, they shut their mouths.

The words on the signboard were very clear. Xu Bai read it from beginning to end, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
