Chapter 1033 The Reason Of The Hostile Ghosts’ Existence“Because they have the aura of resentment.” Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and gave Taozi a glance, saying, “If the aura of resentment is strong enough, they can exchange the price of their reincarnation with a chance to exact revenge in the netherworld, even without swallowing evil spirits. Do you not know this?”Taozi shook her head, as her expression grew darker. It was her first time hearing that one could do so in the netherworld.

Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly. “It’s understandable that you don’t know, since there aren’t many hostile ghosts that are so stubborn.”

Whilst saying, Helian Wei Wei tilted her face over and directly said to Baili Jiajue, “Are you leading the way?”

To demons, finding the place with the most aura of resentment was always a piece of cake. Moreover, the demon in question was Baili Jiajue.

Actually, there was a haunted laboratory in the school.

No supernatural events had happened in the laboratory before. However, it had not been used for too long and people rarely entered it. Hence, it was extremely dark, as even the scanty lights were constantly flickering.

When Helian Wei Wei and the group walked in, there were not many people around. Even when the counselor passed by, he simply looked at them suspiciously without stopping them.

The stairways of the laboratory were laid with porcelain tiles that showcased the vintage nostalgia from the 80s.

Nowadays, only some primary schools use this kind of tiling. Even universities would have shiny new floors, unlike this laboratory building. The paint on the walls had almost peeled completely, and there were no aluminum doors. Instead, the original wooden doors remained, worn and dilapidated. Even the metal locks hanging on it had completely rusted.

It seemed that the school restricted people from entering it for a reason.

Normally, buildings like this would accumulate an enormous amount of Qi of Yin, even if there were no impure beings. Furthermore, accidents such as loosened screws or electricity leakages might unexpectedly happen. If the students entered the place, their safety would be at tremendous risk.

However, before Helian Wei Wei came, she took some photos for Monkey to investigate. Nothing unusual occurred here although the laboratory building’s Qi of Yin was thick and heavy. In fact, everything was quite peaceful.

Of course, some students had fallen and hurt themselves around the area before. However, these trivial things should be excluded. After all, people would usually have bad luck and trip when walking around a place with a strong Qi of Yin.

The whole building was sunken in a miasma of moldy stench, perhaps due to the long period of inactivity.

Helian Wei Wei deliberately looked down at the corner of the staircase, noticing that green mosses had already sprouted in some places.

The more mosses that were in that area, the more Qi of Yin a place had.

Further down, there was the washroom. The haunting noise of dripping water eerily echoed across the entire floor, just like the ghostly sound that was used in the movie “A Wicked Ghost.”

Taozi was terribly scared, as she tried to grab Baili Jiajue’s sleeve with her fingers.

However, the man managed to dodge every time, coincidentally.

Taozi finally gave up, and glanced around anxiously. She feared that something frightening would appear beside her or from behind.

“Don’t look around,” Helian Wei Wei’s voice rang again as she warned her, “Keep your eyes to the front. Since you can search for my shop on the internet, you must have some knowledge about this. When a person is walking at night, there are three embers of Yang Fire of Protection in one person. They are located on the left, right, and behind the person. Every time you glance at a ghost, you will put a fire out. When all three are extinguished, an evil demon will appear.”

Surely, Taozi knew about this. She had no idea what this floor looked like in their eyes, but in hers, the lights were dim. Some shadow seemed to be moving before them, but she found nothing when she looked closer. Furthermore, someone had hung a shirt outside. When the cold wind blew, it appeared like someone was jumping down from the second floor.

Taozi’s heart was gripped by intense fear, as the back of her hands and palms broke into a cold sweat. She did not dare to look down at all and merely shut her eyes tight, as she hurriedly followed their footsteps.

As they approached the washroom, the foul smell emanating from inside caused Baili Jiajue to frown in disgust.

Helian Wei Wei knew that he liked to be clean, so she immediately started reciting Buddhist chants, as her kassaya fluttered around her. Within seconds, all the impure creatures hiding on the first floor revealed themselves in their true form.

When she noticed a black-haired ghost climbing toward her feet, Taozi let out a shrill shriek and tried to escape. However, she was promptly dragged back by Helian Wei Wei.

“Before coming in, I told you to never leave my sight.” Helian Wei Wei stared at her with emotionless eyes, but her hands were packed with force.

Although still in a state of shock, Taozi realized those silhouettes were not coming toward them. Instead, they stood in front of them orderly and obediently, with some in the corners and some in the middle of the corridor. All of their faces were pale green and expressionless, floating in mid-air like stringed puppets. They seemed extremely damp, as though they were freshly scooped out from the water.

“Why, why are there so many.” Conversely, Taozi was the one that dragged Helian Wei Wei’s arm now. Since the man refused to let her hold him, she could only cling onto the female shop owner.

Helian Wei Wei glanced at her once and uttered, “They were supposed to be reincarnated, but they were affected by someone’s aura of resentment and became Chained Souls instead.”

It looked like Taozi really did some research on this topic. When she heard about the Chained Souls, even her lips turned ashen white as she muttered, “It’s that bad?”

“Do not look down on a woman, either living or dead.” Helian Wei Wei looked at the Chained Souls and calmly asked, “Where is she?”

The Chained Souls were not equipped with language skills. They were chained because they had not met the reaper yet. Hence, most of them did not know they were already dead. All they could fixate upon was the reason why they could not leave this laboratory building.

Sometimes, people would hear mysterious noises echoing from upstairs. It was also because of the ghosts wandering around before the seventh day of death.

These Chained Souls were attracted by the aura of resentment to this laboratory building and had become a part of it.

Unless one could detect the ghost that produced the dense aura of resentment, they could not escape the place even if their sins were expiated.

The Chained Souls responded to Helian Wei Wei’s words slowly, as all of them looked in the same direction…

The second floor!

The ghost is on the second floor!

Helian Wei Wei instantly understood their meanings and whispered, “Let’s go upstairs.”

“We’re still going up?” Taozi shook her head nervously, her legs becoming limp in fear. “H-how about we go back, and come again in the morning?”
