r, what is this thing It looks like blood!" My brother shook his hand and tossed a carved wooden box aside.I was about to leave when I heard this, so I turned back to take a look.Inside the intricatel...This man had a sinister aura about him, unlike any ordinary gloom.

My brother dramatically sniffed: "Ghosts that are hundreds of years old smell like they've gone bad."

The man's lips moved, but he made no sound.

"What's going on Is it a mute ghost" My brother frowned and said to me, "Xiao Qiao, please get a professional to take a look."

I silently recited the Bao Guo, and two little ghosts appeared in a hurry: “Little Lady, what are your orders”

"Can you detain this ghost" I asked.

The little ghost clerk swallowed nervously and stammered, "This... is the ghost princess's subordinate, right We wouldn't dare to detain someone of her rank... The Emperor's words are absolute; we can't disobey."

"The words of your Majesty the Emperor are: They haven't been haunting 'this place' for four hundred years, now they're all gone. Could we just let them run amok" I reminded the little ghost messenger.

The little demon attendant patted his head and said, "That makes sense... But why wouldn't the young mistress collect it herself If you did it, Your Majesty wouldn't blame you."

"Make him talk! If we don't know where the Ghost Princess is, he needs to tell us!" I pointed at the man.

The little imp chained the man and dragged out a ghost. The ghost retained its appearance at death, clad in tattered cloth robes and with a hastily tied grass rope around its waist.

The little ghost servant checked and whispered, "Little mistress, this ghost had its tongue cut out before death, so it can't speak."

What is the Ghost Princess trying to do by sending such a cannon fodder Is she looking for Archie as an opportunity

Archie's face drained of color, he couldn't see the ghost, but he could feel that special, chilling atmosphere.

"My lady... this person, is he possessed" he asked.

My brother simply answered frankly: "Yeah, I guess they're looking for you. You've been targeted by these ghosts, your back of the neck has even been marked."

Archie touched his neck and asked in fear, "Why are you looking for me!"

“They prefer people who are tainted with negative energy, like you. People like you are easy to possess. This ghost might want to use a living person to get close to you and seize the opportunity to possess you, taking you away. That way, even if the police check the surveillance, they will only see you leaving alone.”

Some people have strong life force, powerful spirits, and unwavering determination. Even when surrounded by negative energy, they remain largely unaffected. For example, our family's own "Gou Lang" is like that.

Some people have a yin-biased fate, or they may have a gloomy personality, poor health, weak spirits, and high stress levels. They also spend their days in environments filled with negative energy. Such individuals are most susceptible to the influence of negative energies.

Achilles perfectly fit these conditions, who else could we possibly choose

My brother's phone rang a few times. He hurriedly took it out and glanced at it, then said to me, "Lao Lu wants to meet us and talk. I guess the case recently is too strange, and he's also a bit clueless."

I had the imp first take that mute ghost away, and then brought the unconscious man directly to Officer Lu. Officer Lu was in plain clothes, waiting for us in his private car parked on the side of the road.

He acted very tough, throwing the man back into the seat and clapping his hands as he addressed us: "You two, have you heard about what's been going on lately I have a bunch of cases piled up here, and the news is about to break. Do you have any leads to offer"

My brother smiled and said, “Yes, but they’re all ghosts and goblins. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

Officer Lu handed my brother a cigarette. He took it and bit on it, saying, "Old Lu, you're too stiff."

"If I was a stick in the mud, would I be meeting you guys privately" Officer Lu lit his cigarette.

"You're just meeting on the roadside You wouldn't even spend money on a meal! You're such a miser!"

Officer Lu sighed, "No way out. I'm so stressed, I can't even stomach a meal... Anyway, let's get down to business. I have a lead here, listen up."

This tip came from an informant in narcotics.

This informant recently discovered a hidden beauty parlor. At first, he thought it was a prostitution den and was about to tip off the anti-vice squad, but after a period of surveillance, he found that most of the people who went in and out were women, with only a few men.

One time, he saw a woman staggering out at the surveillance camera on the street corner late at night. However, she didn't run far before collapsing as if struck by electricity, twitching. Afterward, she got up herself, twitching all the while, and returned along the same path, like a puppet on a string, back to that beauty parlor.

The informant discovered that everyone entering and leaving this place looked abnormal in their behavior, and they also carried woven bags filled with things. It's unclear whether it's food or something else.

After waiting for several days, I finally saw a normal person enter this beauty parlor. It was a woman who arrived in a sedan.

"What woman" I felt a sense of unease.

Officer Lu frowned. "That woman was wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face. I could only make out that she had short hair."

Short hair Another girl with short hair!

My brother rubbed his temples: "Who the heck is this guy He's so powerful, why doesn't he just go to heaven!"

Officer Lu said solemnly, “There’s more to it than meets the eye. This woman is surrounded by quite a few people, two bodyguards and two old men in plain clothes. Each of them has piercing eyes.”

"The car was rented, and checking the license plate only revealed that the renter was a middle-aged woman, who didn't seem suspicious in any way. She just paid a large sum of money and provided her ID to the short-haired woman."

"Damn, this middle-aged woman is too bold, isn't she afraid of getting into trouble" My brother frowned.

"For someone who is broke, money means life. When it comes to profit, she becomes hopeful." Officer Lu took a drag from his cigarette and sighed: "How many major cases are there that don't involve money or power"

"Have you found out the identity of that short-haired woman" I asked anxiously.

Officer Lu took a puff of his cigarette and smiled at me, “Miss Mu, I’m afraid to tell you this, we can’t find anything.”

I stared gloomily at my brother, wondering what was going on. Even the captain of the criminal police couldn't find out anything

"She's a living person, why can't we find any information about her" I asked, unwilling to accept it.

"Live person What do you mean" Officer Lu was taken aback.

"It's a living person," my brother explained. "Old Lu, at least you found her name, otherwise we wouldn't be able to investigate further here!"

Of course, at least knowing the name will allow the underworld people to look it up.

Officer Lu frowned and said, “Alright, I’ll do my best to investigate… I came to you because I want you to mix in behind the drug enforcement team and raid that beauty parlor. The higher-ups suspect it’s a drug den, but I feel… something is off about it. I estimate you guys would be more useful! Get ready, we'll be acting tomorrow night.”

Tomorrow night

If there are a lot of possessed people inside, wouldn't just my brother and I be too thin on the ground

"Xiao Qiao," my brother said, putting his arm around my shoulder and smiling, "It's time to exercise the power of the head of the house. Do your best!"

So, you're asking me to bring Shen Family's disciples to catch ghosts

>dless darkness, with a feeling of devouring everything."Xiao Nie is over there." He pointed with his finger at a large tree in the corner of the square.This tree, whose name is unknown, towers high ab...
