Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Life-Buying 2

Before long, less and less people were left on the street . The stall owner and his wife gathered the items onto a trishaw together . Then, they left . Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma hopped into Xie Yuqing’s car and slowly followed the couple to a residential area . The couple finally stopped their trishaw in a garage and went into a house . Ye Shaoyang and his companions quickly hid in a dark spot and spied on the couple . Soon enough, the couple appeared at the front of the house . The owner said in a frightened voice, “What is happening to me lately? I’ve received stacks of hell notes every day! Is someone trying to prank us? What’s happening here?”

His wife replied, “Let’s close our stall for a day . We’ll go pray for some blessings at the temple tomorrow . ”

The two continued to talk, as they walked back into the house . Then, one of the room lights on the second floor flickered on .

Xie Yuqing asked, “Little trickster, what should we do?”

“We’ll sneak into their house after they fall asleep and wait for the spirit . I’m sure the spirit who bought his life will show up tonight . We’ll find out why the spirit wants to take his life . ” Then, Ye Shaoyang scanned the neighborhood, “There must be CCTV around . I’m afraid that we will be accused of thieving if a security guard catches and sends us to the police . ”

“I’m the police . Don’t worry,” Xie Yuqing said .

The three of them entered the security room and greeted the security guard . “Police on duty, switch off the CCTV,” Xie Yuqing cut to the chase as she displayed her police ID . The security guard could see her rank on her police ID: Deputy Sergeant in the Criminal Investigation Department . The security guard did not dare to disobey her orders . But he did dare to peep at her amazing figure . He even thought to himself, How can such a delicate young girl have the capability to be promoted to the rank of sergeant? Did she sleep with someone to obtain her position?

The trio sneaked into the stall owner’s garden and hid in a dark corner . They waited patiently . Soon, just as they had expected, the occupants switched off the lights . They waited a little further to make sure that the couple had fallen asleep . When they finally felt confident that the couple was in a deep sleep, Ye Shaoyang commanded, “Now is the right time . Let’s break into the house . Xiao Ma, stay here and be our whistler . ”

Xiao Ma scratched his head; he was reluctant, “Is this really necessary? It feels like we are some filthy thieves . ”

Xie Yuqing volunteered to act first . She grabbed the railings of the balcony and slightly jumped . Then, she crawled over it as carefully as she could to avoid making any noise . As he stood below her, Ye Shaoyang felt a little funny, as he looked at her attempt at climbing over the window . He smiled pervertedly and asked, “Need any help?”

Xie Yuqing ignored him . She climbed up to the balcony on the second floor in one breath . From there, she pushed open a window with her hands through the railings . Then, she sneaked onto the balcony . Ye Shaoyang followed suit . He was also very agile . With just a few jumps, he had gotten himself onto the balcony . The two of them squatted on the floor, and they could already hear loud snoring noises coming out from the room opposite the balcony . The couple was sound asleep in their room .

“Now what?” Xie Yuqing leaned over to Ye Shaoyang’s ear and whispered .

Ye Shaoyang turned his head, and their noses bumped into each other due to their close proximity . Ye Shaoyang fell back out of reflex, “Phew! A little closer and my first kiss would be lost!”

Xie Yuqing glared at him angrily, “You wish! I take good care of my first kiss . I wouldn’t simply lose it just like this!”

Ye Shaoyang replied teasingly, “Wow, you still have your first kiss with you?”

Xie Yuqing let out an angry groan and ignored him .

Ye Shaoyang took out two talisman papers and passed one to Xie Yuqing . He said in a low voice, “This is the talisman paper of invisibility . Once you stick it on yourself, no spirit can detect your aura . ”

“Where do I stick it?”

Instead of answering, Ye Shaoyang lifted up his shirt and stuck the talisman paper on his stomach . Reluctantly, Xie Yuqing followed suit . She lifted up her T-shirt too and revealed the flawless fair skin on her flat stomach .

“Ahem . Actually, anywhere you like is fine, not necessarily the tummy . ”

Xie Yuqing almost lost her temper . She tried to suppress her voice, but she still let out a muffled yell, “Are you serious? You did it on purpose, didn’t you!” But she suddenly remembered something, “Hey, didn’t you put the talisman paper on? Why can I still see you?”

Ye Shaoyang shrugged, “The talisman paper of invisibility only works on spirits . If it works on humans too, that would be really insane . ”

Suddenly, a silhouette in red flashed passed them . It came in through the window of the living room and moved toward the bedroom . Ye Shaoyang and Xie Yuqing looked toward the silhouette . It was a spirit of a woman wearing a red gown . She looked to be in her early twenties . Although she had quite a pretty face, she looked pale, and her hair was a little too long . She closed in on the bedside and breathed into the mouth of the stall owner’s wife . In turn, the lady’s head tilted a little, and she stopped moving . Xie Yuqing trembled . She leaned toward Ye Shaoyang and whispered, ” Is that lady dead now?”

“No . She fainted because she inhaled Spirit Qi through her mouth . Now, she won’t wake up even if the whole house is torn down . She can’t hear a thing . Let’s see what happens next . ”

Then, the spirit leaned over to the stall owner’s ear and called him gently, “Fatty Chen . ”

The stall owner, apparently called Fatty Chen, struggled a little in his sleep and suddenly woke up . But by that time, the spirit had vanished .

Fatty Chen opened his eyes and thought, Did someone call my name just now? He anxiously looked around, but he found nothing . The room was completely silent . He fell back into the bed again, but now, he heard the sound of water gushing out in the bathroom . He thought, It must be my wife; she must have forgotten to turn off the water tap and left the water running for the whole night .

“Stupid woman! You are killing me!” Fatty Chen cursed . He got up and wore his slippers . Then, he walked toward the bathroom . He switched on the light and found the bathtub’s tap running . The water had already flooded the bathtub and spilled everywhere . Fatty Chen turned the tap off and went to the sink to wash his face . Suddenly, he saw something horrifying in the mirror . There was a lady in red hanging on a rope on the door . Her eyeballs had almost popped out, and her tongue had extended out from her mouth . He yelled out in fear and turned around, but he saw nothing .

Splash… .

Fatty Chen looked down, and he found the tap on again . This time, red liquid spewed out of the tap; red quickly filled the bathtub . The rusty stench of blood pervaded the whole room .

Indeed, it was blood flowing out of the tap!

Fatty Chen anxiously gulped . Something was not right . He tried to escape, but he could not open the bathroom door no matter how hard he tried . He turned around . In the middle of the pool of blood, splashes suddenly appeared and hair started to float up to the surface . Fatty Chen rested his back against the door and sat down; his legs felt weak . As the quantity of hair that floated up to the surface grew more and more, a head appeared . It was a face as pale as a white piece of paper . There were no pupils in the eyes, only the white of its eyes filled with red capillaries . Underneath its eyes, it had no nose or mouth .

Fatty Chen screamed at his highest pitch . He fell backward onto the bathroom door, and to his surprise, it opened . By now, he was too weak to even stand up, so he could only clumsily crawl . With his weak limbs, he crawled out of the room, but unbeknown to him, what awaited him in the living room was an even more horrifying scene:

A woman in red on all fours was in the living room . Her hair dragged on the floor . Just like him, she also crawled . But with each movement of her limbs, audible clicking sounds rang from the joints all over her body .

At the balcony, this scene horrified Xie Yuqing too . Without realizing it, she had snuggled against Ye Shaoyang’s warm body, as she shivered and covered her mouth with her hands .

“Why? Why would the spirit do that?”

“She isn’t going to let him die an easy death . She wants to scare him to death . Even if he manages to survive, this would make him lose all of his Yang Qi . It will be much easier for her to take his life afterward,” Ye Shaoyang whispered, “It’s not an easy job for her to take someone’s life . Her cultivation is not enough . ”

The spirit crawled toward Fatty Chen, as her head shook in a creepy manner . She raised an arm with a handful of Hell Notes and said in a scary voice, “Fatty Chen, I’ll give you money, so give me your life!”

Fatty Chen was so freaked out that he weakly sat on the floor like a puddle of mud . As he shivered, he could not even find his voice .

Then, the spirit started to cry and mumble like a mad person, “Fatty Chen, Landlord Chen, I’ll give you money . I’m begging you, take the money…You don’t believe me? Let me show you my face so that you know who I am…” With that said, she retracted her hand to lift up her hair and showed him her face . Her face had decomposed into a horrendous state, so it was hardly recognizable . A few wounds could be seen all over her face . A green liquid dripped out, and within the wounds, maggots could be seen wriggling on top of the already decomposed flesh .
