Lin Rui suddenly turned her head.
But found that whether it was beside her, behind her, or in the distant corridor, there was no second person in sight.
"Clatter clatter clatter..." This was the sound of Lin Rui's teeth chattering from nervousness and fear.
There was no one around, where did that sound come from?
Just then.
"Creak~"
With a sound, the door in front that she'd spent ages preparing to push open was suddenly opened from inside without any warning.
Lin Rui instantly turned back.
In the next second, Ma Xiaotong's ghastly pale face appeared right in front of her.
Accompanied by a thick smell of corpse and chill air.
"Ah——!!"
Even though she was a forensic scientist.
Even though she had seen numerous corpses raised by Zhang Feng.
But in the past, either Zhang Feng was present or she was watching through surveillance footage.
But now, being alone facing such a living corpse.
She naturally couldn't bear it.
She let out a piercing scream.
Instinctively turned to run, without any hesitation.
Seeing Lin Rui fleeing in panic.
Ma Xiaotong was also quite helpless!
Unfortunately, no emotion appeared on her face.
However, a hint of curiosity arose in her heart:
"Why do I feel like this sister, and the sister with the surname Hu, seem to know my identity?"
"Could it be that they are the same as Zhang Feng, my brother?"
Indeed, it was normal for Ma Xiaotong to have such thoughts.
After all, in her understanding, ordinary people couldn't possibly perceive such abnormalities.
Like Shen Xing'Er before, only simply feeling a bit cold, that's all.
But Lin Rui and Hu Huixin's attitudes toward her were totally different.
That fear was obvious at a glance.
Wasn't it just this moment that she scared Lin Rui away?
But Ma Xiaotong hadn't figured out what was happening yet.
Lin Rui's somewhat nervous and soft voice came from afar:
"Um..."
With this voice, Ma Xiaotong turned her head towards the direction of the sound.
At that moment, Lin Rui stuck her little head in from the end of the distant corridor.
This kind of impression unexpectedly had a hint of unspeakable cuteness?
"Zhang Feng called you over...."
After saying this, Lin Rui immediately retracted her little head.
Then she turned around and ran off again, directly towards the morgue where Zhang Feng was.
Indeed, when facing such existences, only Zhang Feng could bring her a little sense of security.
However, just as she reached the door and hadn't yet pushed it open, suddenly she realized:
"Something's wrong!"
"I haven't told her where Zhang Feng is yet?"
"Oh dear! Really, I still have to..."
But she only managed to voice half of her self-mocking thought.
That hollow, chilling voice directly came from behind her:
"Is it here?"
Instantly, Lin Rui's whole body stiffened.
Her pupils slowly dilated...
Then she turned around.
Ma Xiaotong, without her knowing, was already standing behind, standing there gracefully.
Truly pretty.
But also undoubtedly terrifying!
How did she walk without a sound?
...probably because she's a ghost...
How did she know it was here?
Did I follow a ghost?
Lin Rui wasn't sure what kind of drama was playing in her heart.
Anyway, she stood there motionless like a statue.
Her pupils filled with an expression of lingering fear.
Ma Xiaotong was also helpless, she wanted to express some goodwill to people around Zhang Feng.
But she couldn't manage any expression or convey any tone.
So...
No way, she felt it was better to minimize contact with them, to avoid scaring them.
Consequently, Ma Xiaotong directly pushed open the morgue door and walked in.
The moment the door opened, Zhang Feng turned around, seeing it was Ma Xiaotong, didn't even bother wondering where Lin Rui went.
Since they were in the division, as if she could get hurt?
So Zhang Feng simply beckoned:
"Come here!"
Ma Xiaotong took three steps and made them into two, bouncing excitedly to Zhang Feng.
Despite having a pale complexion, expressionless face, soulless eyes.
She indeed had a cute girlish vibe.
And as Ma Xiaotong arrived in front of Zhang Feng, she immediately spoke:
"Brother, did you call me to help suppress the corpse aura?"
While speaking, Ma Xiaotong unexpectedly started to tie her hair!
"Stop!!"
Zhang Feng instantly shouted hoarsely.
He looked at Ma Xiaotong peculiarly:
"Goodness, are you guys carved from the same mold?"
"Just stopped Lin Rui, now you're starting too?!"
"Can you women have something else in your minds?!"
Zhang Feng was about to lose it.
Luckily he had the power and energy of Supreme Yang and Firm, endless and inexhaustible.
Otherwise, he'd have been doomed.
With a speechless expression, Zhang Feng pointed at the charred corpse on the autopsy table:
"I called you for serious business!"
"She, I can't find her soul."
"It's not in the Underworld either, you now check if she has the same experience you once had?"
Hearing about the previous experience, a fierce aura emitted from Ma Xiaotong.
Evidently, if it weren't for Zhang Feng being present, and for his mark carved on her, the Evil Qi of the ghost on her would be uncontainable.
Her gaze fell on the charred corpse on the autopsy table.
Ma Xiaotong fell silent.
Although she remained motionless, Zhang Feng could sense it.
There was evident fluctuation in Ma Xiaotong's ghost cultivation.
Evidently, Ma Xiaotong had begun the investigation, so he didn't interfere.
Not long after, Ma Xiaotong slowly shook her head and said:
"Brother, I didn't feel anything familiar, she should be different from me..."
Hearing this, Zhang Feng also slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if this female corpse's soul were also seized by an Evil Cultivator, there would be a mighty ghost in the world.
And right under his nose, in B City, he didn't notice a thing.
That would be catastrophic.
But fortunately, there was no issue.
Afterward, Zhang Feng asked once again:
"Can you find where her soul is hiding?"
Ma Xiaotong nodded and said:
"I can't pinpoint the exact location."
"But I can sense the soul's presence from the corpse, slowly fading."
"If I didn't mistake it, this corpse should have recently separated from her soul, so...."
At this moment, Zhang Feng's eyes slightly squinted.
Without waiting for Ma Xiaotong to finish, he directly uttered four big words:
"Crime scene!"
Exactly...
That vengeful spirit was hiding at the crime scene, and he didn't notice during the previous investigation?
Probably because he hadn't used Celestial Eye properly...
Knowing the location made it manageable.
Just return to the crime scene and retrieve the vengeful spirit.
But.....there were too many people at the crime scene now, wouldn't it be inappropriate to perform rituals?
Therefore, Zhang Feng had to wait until later at night when the place was empty.
However, if he delayed, what if the vengeful spirit escaped?
The contemplation within Zhang Feng's eyes was apparent to Ma Xiaotong, and as if they quietly shared thoughts, she directly said:
"Brother, is it inconvenient for you to retrieve that vengeful spirit?"
"Should I go for you?"
"You?" Zhang Feng was startled, looking at Ma Xiaotong in confusion.
