e jurisdiction of our local City God or land deities, so I haven't bothered to learn much about them," explained the Earth God."Mm." The little wife nodded, signaling the Land God to return first.The...Shao Yihang shrugged. "Probably, I haven't seen it myself either, but his place is on the top floor, so he should—"

He paused his words and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

The flower bed in front had bloodstains, likely from a high-altitude fall. The irregular scattering suggests the victim wasn't just falling straight down but was tumbling as they descended, smashing into the flower bed upon impact.

I've seen ghosts who jumped to their death. Their state was horrifyingly grotesque. Some had their bones twisted into knots, while others would break in two from the slightest bump or scratch.

If those who have committed suicide could see this scene with their own eyes, they would probably not do such foolish things.

"Why don't you leave" my brother asked.

Shao Yihang was a little scared. He whispered, "I'm a bit afraid of the bloodstains. Ever since something happened at my house, I've been a little faint of blood..."

"You're not some pampered heiress, why are you dressing up like royalty Just get going, don't waste my time." My brother impatiently urged.

The car was parked by the flower bed, we walked downstairs, and the security guard glared at us fiercely and said, "What are you doing"

"Visiting a friend Is there a problem" Shao Yihang replied unhappily.

"Search yourselves! Police have notified us, no filming devices are allowed! To prevent leaks!" The security guard stood in front of us.

Shao Yi'an raised an eyebrow and said, "Now anyone can shoot with their phone, are you going to control that Take my phone This is a custom-made phone, if it breaks or gets lost, can you afford to pay for it Get out of here, we're here to visit our friend!"

The security guard felt quite wronged. He was just a lowly security guard assigned to stop reporters, and he frequently got scolded for it. Now, encountering someone like Shao Yihang, a second-generation official with an arrogant attitude, made things even worse.

My brother pulled out a cigarette and said, "Big brother, we really came to visit our friend. Do you think we look like reporters Besides, this happened days ago, are we here to steal the news now We're more likely stealing ghosts."

His words were veiled, but the guard felt a chill run down his spine.

The security guard hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hush hush... Can't say, can't say!"

My brother, feigning ignorance, asked: "Why can't we say it"

He spoke, then directly rolled two red banknotes and quietly slipped them into the security guard's pocket.

The security guard, seeing how approachable my brother was, immediately pulled him to a nearby lamppost and whispered, “Hey young man, I think you're a good person (giving money and being polite makes you a good person). Let me tell you the truth, if this happened back home, we would have had a Taoist priest come set up an altar for a ritual!”

"You people in the big cities, you just don't believe these things! I saw it with my own eyes that day..."

My brother eagerly asked, "What did you see"

The security guard whispered mysteriously, "You see, it's almost the Lunar New Year. Our community strung up lights...that woman jumped down with such force, the string sliced her head open! There was a huge pool of blood all over the flowerbed..."

It is said that the woman was wearing a white nightgown. After her head exploded, blood flowed everywhere, and her whole body turned red. The next morning when they came to collect the body, I saw with my own eyes that her clothes were almost soaked in blood plasma!

"In our hometown, if someone dies wearing red clothes, they'll definitely turn into a vengeful spirit! Especially this woman, she's dressed in blood-red."

He rubbed his hands together and said, "I saw the experts come to investigate, but they didn't say how the head flew up. They just said it was probably because it hit the flowerbed edge with a huge force and broke... But our security guards received orders to remove all the strings prepared for hanging lanterns."

My older brother nodded and said, "Not bad, you're a discerning person. You know how to handle this kind of situation..."

The security guard nodded and said, "That's right! A person wearing bloody clothes must have a terrible amount of resentment!"

I thought we were here to make the dishes, weren't we Hope we didn't come too late.

As he was talking, Shao Yihang pressed the doorbell. He roared into the phone angrily, "You bastard! You made me come all this way and you're sleeping Open the door, we're coming in!"

On the other end of the video call, it was a mess of hair. He pressed a button, the door swung open, and we were able to enter the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, Shao Yihang suddenly asked, "How confident are you that you can handle this"

"Not even a single ghost! Just deal with some shovels!" My brother complained.

A strange chill hung in the elevator shaft. As we were about to step inside, a woman's voice echoed from behind us—

"Hello, please wait a moment..." that voice called out as it ran into our elevator.

She was a girl wearing a big, red chiffon dress. Her face was as white as snow and her voice was sweet like a bird.

My brother and I widened our eyes — a woman in red, a ghost!

This "Red-robed Ghost" hurried into the elevator car and said to my brother, "Thank you all, please press the top floor for me, thank you..."

The rooftop!

Shao Yihang involuntarily shrank back and hid behind my brother.

My brother is really charming, even gay guys act like little birds around him. It's so sickening!

This red-cloaked "ghost" stood behind me, and I couldn't help but glance at her reflection in the security mirror.

How does a female ghost not fear humans

If it's a female ghost, she should be able to feel the aura and cultivation of the Taoist priest more clearly, shouldn't she Could it be that she can't sense the unusual energy about us compared to ordinary people

I discreetly sniffed, there was no ghostly aura about her, but a strong metallic scent hung in the air.

My brother couldn't help but say, "Beauty, what do you have on you It smells so bad"

What

The "Red-clothed Ghost" paused, then whispered, “Oh… I went to the botanical garden and smoked myself with corpse flower...and secretly dug out a small piece to carry on me.”

Corpse flower Are you talking about the Titan arum, that flower with a horrible smell

It is said that it blooms once every ten years, and the flower can stink for a kilometer. At night, the smell is even more intense, attracting small insects to eat it.

How could someone intentionally make themselves smell so bad

"You... aren't you a little mentally unstable" My brother pulled out an exorcism talisman and slapped it on her forehead with a "snap."

This "Red-Cloaked Ghost" was startled, raising her head to look at my brother.

She had just let her long hair fall over half of her face and kept her head bowed. As she looked up now, it was clear that she was very young. Her complexion was unusually pale, and she wore bright red lipstick as if deliberately made up to look like this ghost-like figure.

"...You're mages!" she exclaimed, looking at us in surprise: "That's great! So Qi Ge hired mages!"

This tone...

"Could you be the mistress who interfered!" My brother asked bluntly.

The young girl, dressed in a red chiffon long dress and with makeup that made her look like a ghost, flushed red and nodded slightly, whispering: “About this... I… have my reasons…”vy stench of death behind me made my whole body tremble. I'm afraid I'm in danger if I stay here any longer.Behind that little door, a gloomy aura made me shiver. The Great Corpse King tilted his hea...
