Huo Binghai listened to their conversation, eyes wide, unsure how to interject. Xia Xianning was too preoccupied to explain to him. While scrolling through Luo Yingbai’s album to understand the terrain better and find a solution, he unexpectedly saw a photo of himself wearing a small flower, lying on a table. Xia Xianning: “…” Luo Yingbai laughed awkwardly and quickly snatched back the phone. Xia Xianning: “Delete it.” Luo Yingbai: “I won’t delete it, I won’t! Come on, try and kill me!” Xia Xianning raised his hand; Luo Yingbai laughed and hugged his arm. Huo Binghai finally couldn’t hold back: “Cough cough.” Luo Yingbai suddenly realized: “Oh, sorry, I forgot about you…” He turned to Xia Xianning: “By the way, this matter was entrusted by Mr. Huo.” Xia Xianning leisurely said: “It’s not like I was commissioned.” Huo Binghai: “…Can our family be saved, masters?” For some reason, he always felt a subtle hostility from Xia Xianning. “Mr. Huo, you should have heard what was said earlier.” Luo Yingbai snatched back his phone and turned to Huo Binghai: “Currently, your family’s illness and strange occurrences are related to this construction. The road in front of the gate created a bent bow and direct arrow sha, causing resentment in the community. Your father, as the direct contractor, is inevitably implicated.
Huo Binghai, who had only half-understood before, now fully comprehended and felt his heart sink: “To solve this, do we need to demolish the road? Even if I risk going to jail to demolish it, it would take several days! People could die by then!” Luo Yingbai said, “Don’t panic or be pessimistic. We haven’t reached the point of risking your life for your parents. Do more good deeds recently, make charitable donations, and place these talismans at the door and under the pillow. We’ll handle the rest.” Now that the bent bow and direct arrow sha has formed, demolishing the road is a last resort. The best solution is to use various plants and structures to create an array that dissipates the sha qi, which is not difficult for him and Xia Xianning. Huo Binghai gratefully received the talismans, repeatedly thanking him, and asked Luo Yingbai to write down his bank account number. “Master Luo, you’ve saved my life and helped our entire family solve this major problem. I don’t know how to thank you. This small amount of money is just a token of gratitude. I know you don’t care, but if you need anything in the future, just tell me!” Luo Yingbai said, “Ah, there is one thing… you won’t write a Weibo article thanking me, right?” Huo Binghai excitedly said, “If you want, I’ll write ten!”
Here is the edited article with irrelevant content removed:
“No, no,” Luo Yingbai quickly said, “The sentiment is enough. Writing too much might tire you.” Huo Binghai sincerely said, “Master Luo is so considerate. I really admire you. We must stay in touch and communicate more!” Xia Xianning’s eyebrows were almost raised to the sky. Luo Yingbai laughed awkwardly, “Okay, okay.”
Just after saying this, Luo Yingbai felt his phone vibrate in his palm. He had a subtle feeling and didn’t mention it. After sending Huo Binghai off, he quickly turned on the screen. Xia Xianning, who was about to say something, saw his movement and immediately stood up from the sofa: “What’s wrong?” Luo Yingbai’s expression was inscrutable. He stared at the screen for a moment, then tossed the phone to Xia Xianning.
Yuuuuuch: @Bai Ge Ge Fortune Teller I’m not dead, I’m really not dead! I don’t want to go to the cemetery, I don’t want to be buried alive! I experience the same thing every night, and if this continues, I’ll go crazy! Who can save me!
Luo Yingbai read out the Weibo post, and Xia Xianning frowned: “There’s too little information.”
Luo Yingbai said: “No need to look elsewhere, it must be Wuyang Residential Complex, and I roughly know who it is.”
After such a long time, he had already figured out the characteristics of Weibo – Weibo wouldn’t randomly help him find someone to rescue; those who could send comments must be people Luo Yingbai had seen or who had appeared in his recent living environment.
Although he had seen many people that day, the Weibo help request was sent after he had just looked at his phone. So if it wasn’t Huo Binghai, there was only one other person left… a woman in a green dress.
That woman had inadvertently appeared on the TV when it was broadcasting videos of the residential complex and roads. Because of the distance, she wasn’t clear in Luo Yingbai’s photo, only vaguely showing long hair, a green outfit, and carrying a bag.
Xia Xianning listened to Luo Yingbai’s explanation, enlarged the photo on her phone, and said: “It looks like the bag contains a Yi Ming Department Store uniform.”
Since they now knew her possible residence and workplace, her specific identity wouldn’t be hard to investigate. After just a few phone calls, Luo Yingbai learned her name was Lü Lu, 27 years old, unmarried, working selling clothes at Yi Ming Department Store, currently living alone in Wuyang Residential Complex.
In fact, her case had been submitted to the Special Investigation Unit a week ago.
Reportedly, Lü Lu’s home would often make loud suona horn sounds in the middle of the night, disturbing the neighbors. When neighbors knocked on her door to discuss it, she wouldn’t open or respond. The next day, she played dumb, saying she heard nothing.
This went back and forth, and the surrounding neighbors became furious and reported it to the police.
The police arrived at Lü Lu’s place late at night and indeed heard loud gong and suona sounds. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. Worried something might be wrong, they forcibly broke open the door.
Once inside, all the noisy sounds stopped. Lü Lu was sleeping peacefully in bed, startled awake by their intrusion. She seemed to genuinely know nothing.
The police searched her home thoroughly but found nothing. The next day, the trumpet and suona sounds cheerfully continued. Thus, the case was transferred to the Special Investigation Unit.
While this case seemed strange to ordinary people, it was a minor case for the Special Investigation Unit. They immediately sent two people to exorcise the spirits, and Lü Lu’s home returned to peace. When Xia Xianning, as the unit director, saw the case, it was already closed, so he didn’t pay much attention.
Now that Lü Lu was mentioned, Xia Xianning had a slight impression. It seemed the whole matter wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
The Weibo post showed the red comment was sent four hours later.
The residential complex was far from Luo Yingbai’s home. To not waste time, they got in the car. Luo Yingbai drove while Xia Xianning called Old Summer to say they couldn’t return home, and then began telling Luo Yingbai about the case.
Chapter 92: Killing Breath
As soon as the car reached the entrance of Wuyang Residential Complex, Luo Yingbai could faintly sense a lingering murderous aura that wasn’t present when he last left.
Luo Yingbai said: “The road in front of the complex’s gate was never fully repaired before and was blocked off. I wish I had observed it earlier.”
Though he said this, since his rebirth, he had been busy with his own affairs and naturally wouldn’t idle around observing a half-completed road. Xia Xianning patted Luo Yingbai’s shoulder, and they walked into the complex together.
Two people knocked on the door for quite a while, but no one inside answered. The door across the way suddenly opened, and an elderly woman poked her head out, impatiently saying, “Why are you making such a fuss every day? No one’s inside!”
But when Lu Lu had previously called, she wasn’t at the shopping mall. Luo Yingbai asked, “I’m sorry, are you sure no one is home? She often couldn’t open the door when someone was home, and I’m worried something might have happened.”
