Old grudges and past grievances

h: Humans, can truly be tamed.Now, it would ignite clusters of sparks that burn through my reason, leaving me craving for more, consumed by an insatiable fire."Jiang...rise clouds..." I whispered soft...The compass needle trembled slightly, pointing towards Young Master Qiu. It remained fixed upon him, unwavering.

At first glance, I felt a sense of negativity about him. My brother also said that he had dark energy around his forehead and looked like a sickly person.

Though he lives such a luxurious and decadent life, his health must surely be suffering.

"Hey, what are you looking at me for..." Young Master Qiu seemed a bit nervous, seeing me holding the compass, he asked, "What's this thing Is it used for begging"

My brother raised his hand to hit him: "You don't understand, just shut up! Be careful what you say, it could lead to bad karma! What do you have on you Things that don't belong to you."

"What do you mean by things that don't belong to me Am I the kind of person who steals from others" Young Master Qiu glared at my brother with displeasure: "I have nothing lacking."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm asking you, did you bring anything strange with you, something someone gave you or you picked up" My brother was too lazy to explain, he just said it straight.

"No way. I was naked yesterday, put on clothes and ran out today... now you've caught me again." He mumbled, reaching into his pocket, but there was nothing inside.

My brother was not at ease and said, "Come here, let me check you. See if you have anything on you that's carrying bad energy."

He took Master Qiu aside. I took a look at the hall of this building. A plump housekeeper was cleaning, and she didn't look well. I walked over and asked, "Hello, can I chat with you for a few minutes"

She gave me a stunned glance and nodded, "Okay, okay."

"What happened here last night, do you know"

She curled her lips and whispered, "What else could happen These hooligans are like animals, each one no different from a stray dog on the street! They're not even afraid of getting AIDS! That woman they dragged out this morning, her ass was blooming… I really don't know what these young people are so crazy about! How did their parents raise such beasts!"

"...Did you see anything unusual" I asked, getting straight to the point. "Did anyone sneak away, or did someone new appear"

Who are the extra people

She was stunned for a moment, and then nodded randomly: "Last night, several women were making a mess in the restroom after drinking too much. They seemed to be 'doing something* to each other,' leaving the restroom in terrible shape! I waited until they staggered out drunk before going in to clean up, and then I found another woman inside!"

"What kind of woman"

"That woman isn't very tall, but she's very polite. She seems to be mopping the floor, holding a black cloth, and even apologized to me when she saw me, saying she made such a mess." The domestic worker said, tilting her head: "But she looks pretty old! I think she's at least forty or fifty years old. Why would she come to this kind of party for young people"

Forty to fifty

Today, we watched as they left. They were all young people, and none of them looked to be around forty years old.

"I snuck a peek later and the air conditioning in the living room was freezing cold, so cold that I was shivering. I saw that woman following Young Master Qiu upstairs, impatiently pushing his waist. They probably went to the bedroom... But I haven't seen her all day." The housekeeper rubbed her arms.

When the air conditioner is too cold, that's a chaotic mess.

It should be like Widow Alley, where those recently deceased souls who haven't yet returned to the underworld are drawn in and attach themselves to living people for pleasure.

A woman in her forties or fifties... That caught my attention.

"Xiao Qiao, come here." My brother beckoned to me.

He lifted Qiu Shao-ye's shirt at the back, letting me see his lower back.

There was a faint black mark there. Looking closely, it was a black handprint.

"Congratulations, Mr. Qiu! A ghost has taken a liking to you, so you'll be a son-in-law soon." My brother teased with a smile.

Qiu Zhanming was so frightened that he fainted, his two bamboo-pole legs trembling.

"Young Master Qiu, who did you spend the night with last night The housekeeper saw a woman in her forties or fifties following you upstairs. Where is this woman" I asked.

"A woman in her forties or fifties" Qiu Zhanming was startled and shook his head vigorously. "Don't scare me, though I have an interest in young wives, it's impossible for me to go after a woman my mother's age, this morning there were two young models sleeping soundly in my room—"

...just like dead...

He suddenly trembled all over and stammered at the maid, "Go, go to my room and see—see if anyone's there! If there is, tell them to get out!"

The female worker glanced at him for no apparent reason and went upstairs by herself.

“This worker saw yesterday a woman of forty or fifty, not tall, following you upstairs and impatiently pushing your waist… it should be the spot where you have this black handprint… Think carefully, when did you offend someone like that”

Young Master Qiu anxiously grabbed his head: "I took drugs last night, I don't know what person followed me upstairs, but when I got nervous, I felt like someone was on my back. After I ran out of the room, I felt better, but then I felt like someone was behind my car..."

"Boom".

A heavy thud came from the second floor, and my brother and I instantly grew alert. The kitten dashed up the stairs like an arrow, and we followed close behind.

The door to the master bedroom on the second floor was wide open, and there was no one inside. The female worker who had just come upstairs to check was also gone.

The entire room looked blurry to me, especially where there were mirrors and glass, as if there was a layer of fog.

My brother immediately pulled out a talisman and stuck it on the door frame. He pinched the Five Elements Fire Technique, and the talisman immediately rolled up and burned.

A wisp of blue smoke later, the scene before us took us aback.

So much blood!

And there are some tufts of hair!

"AAAAAAAAAA!!!" Qiu Zhanming was so scared that he scrambled backward.

He shrieked in terror, "I-I-I was completely normal when I woke up today! And just now too! This is your trickery, isn't it!"

"Calm down, you coward." My brother glared at him.

At dusk, the sun sets.

It seemed like in an instant, the temperature of the entire resort town dropped considerably.

Logically speaking, places with hot springs usually have good geomancy. However, this building is blocked by a mountain in the front and its orientation is also problematic. It gets dark very quickly.

The little lynx suddenly twitched its ears and dashed toward the end of the hallway.

"Little brat!" I shouted, and ran after him.

"Don't run so fast! Be careful, there might be a trap!" My brother chased after me.

I ran while summoning up the little imps.

The little imp floated beside me and said, “Little Lady, do you have any work to do The Underworld is very busy now, we haven't been able to collect souls for the past few days, everyone's working overtime!”

“Yes, this place is a gathering of Yin energy. After dark, many wandering souls come here. You have a lot of work to do!”

Xiao Nie's roars came from the underground garage. I hurried after him and saw a hunched figure, with great strength dragging the maid who had just been here.

That back...

My whole body trembled: "Little devil, get on quickly!"

"That's a human!" the little lynx reminded me.

"I'm so anxious! "That's an old enemy! Get on! Bite him to death, I'll take the karmic retribution!"rry. So at the Blood Pool, I thought that if I turned the three souls and seven spirits into a lotus flower and placed it in the formation to break all the evil energy, then immediately withdraw... Th...
