Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 440: Deceiving Ghost

It looked at her with a painful and powerless expression, and at this moment, it even had difficulty speaking.

Seeing how miserable it looked, Si He couldn't help but pursed her lips. She had to admit that this remnant soul was really weak. Even with the evil-protecting scales she gave it, it still ended up in such a situation.

If it escapes in time when the situation is not right, and with the protection of the evil-protecting scales, it can hide temporarily and those mages will find it difficult to find it for a while.

Si He took a few steps closer and asked, "Are these mages so powerful? Do you even have a chance to escape?"

She glanced at the sleeping man beside her. He looked to be in his early twenties, not very old, and did not look like he was very capable.

Thinking back to the Taoists brought by Guo Xingjiang before, the older one seemed to be quite capable. The talisman paper here should have been made by that person. However, it shouldn't be so strong that it can't escape, right?

As she spoke, she reached out and took off the talisman paper from the 'old lady', and then took off the bronze bell tied around her wrist.

Without restraints and suppression, without torture, it suddenly felt light all over and lay on the bed, breathing lightly.

However, due to excessive consumption and the talisman paper still stuck on the bed curtain, it was still unable to move and had not yet recovered.

After a long while, it slowly spoke: "You said... before you get married... you can't die..."

I don't know if it's because it consumed too much soul power, but now it speaks like before, slowly, one word at a time.

Hearing its words, Si He was startled. Then, with a complicated expression in her eyes, she looked at it and said, "Is this the reason you didn't escape?"

The old lady's soul has been devoured by it. If it leaves this body, it will indeed become a real corpse, and the news of the old lady's death will be exposed.

It replied: "Yes... I believe... you will come to save me..."

She didn't know where it got the confidence to believe that she would really come to save it, but after hearing this, she felt even more complicated.

Originally, she helped it again and again with the intention of taking advantage of it, and regarded it as a temporary partner at most. But now she found that it was much more sincere than her in this cooperation.

To put it more bluntly, or to put it more harshly, it's stupid.

But the difficulty lies in that it is just a ghost, a ghost that has not been subdued by her means, but obeys her orders.

She sighed softly and said, "Don't be so stupid in the future. Run away if you can."

Although she really didn't want anyone in the Guo family to die before she got married, because it would inevitably affect her marriage, it also depended on the situation.

Since it has come to this, she can't be too ruthless.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it was just unlucky and did not escape, so it said that it was doing it for her sake.

But seeing its miserable state, she didn't want to delve into this possibility. Even if it was really being used, it wouldn't do her any harm.

It responded, "Okay."

She asked again: "Where is the evil-protecting scale?"

Hearing this, a fierce look flashed across its eyes. When it mentioned this, it became very angry and said, "It was taken away by that old, stinky Taoist..."

Its voice was cold, but it didn't dare look her in the eye, as if it was afraid she would blame it.

Seeing it like this, the little bit of pity in Si He's heart immediately disappeared. She didn't want to delve into the whole story just now, hoping that it was a good ghost with no ulterior motives, but reality quickly shattered her beautiful idea.

In this world, she was really forced to judge people by their evil. Now even ghosts are deceiving people.

She pursed her lips, but said nothing in the end.

Actually, it’s better this way. After all, they are using each other, and she won’t feel any guilt in the future.

"Can you give me another scale?"

It suppressed its anger and looked at Si He again, with desire in its eyes.

The scales were indeed a good thing. If it had not been careless for a moment and failed to take them back in time when changing clothes, thus leaking a trace of evil spirit, it would not have been discovered.

Si He looked at it and said, "Okay, but you have to continue doing things for me, just like before. Wait until I get married, and then you can do it. I don't care who you want to kill."

It agreed immediately, "Okay... I'll listen to you!"

Si He took out a small waterproof cowhide bag, and then took out the talisman bag from it. When she opened the bag, a cold wind suddenly blew out from inside!

It was an evil ghost that had been subdued before, but after the battle with the Taoist priest that night, its soul power was greatly reduced. If it had not escaped back in time, it would probably have been destroyed.

This evil ghost could no longer even maintain its form. After coming out of the talisman bag, it was just a small ball of black mist, floating above the bed.

The remaining soul within the old lady's body tensed up upon seeing this, and looked warily at the black fog above. Then, she said, "Come out of your body, and let it enter and replace you."

After hearing this, the remnant soul relaxed, and then just followed her instructions, closed his eyes, and tried to peel himself off.

Perhaps it was injured too badly before, and it took a long time for it to float out of the body.

As soon as it came out, Si He let the evil ghost drill into the body in time, then took out a drop of spiritual essence and dripped it into the old lady's mouth.

When the spirit essence entered the mouth, it was as if the evil ghost had taken a tonic. He immediately opened his eyes, his face looked a little ferocious, he breathed lightly, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Si He tied the bronze bell back on, and the trembling of the 'old lady' stopped, and she slowly calmed down.

This subdued evil ghost is already very weak. It would take a lot of time and energy to train it to be as powerful as before. It is better to let it play its last bit of value and maintain the illusion that the old lady is still alive, so as not to alarm the magicians and make it easier for the remnant soul to act.

The subdued ghosts not only have their ghost power weakened, but also have no thoughts of their own. They are just like puppets, dully executing simple commands. They are far from being as smart as the remnant souls, which can make their own judgments and act.

This is also the main reason why she has not been able to subdue the remnant soul, because a dull puppet can easily be seen through by others.

Therefore, letting the evil ghost replace it is the best option.

The remnant soul huddled quietly aside, watching her movements.

After a while, she put the talisman paper she had taken off earlier back on. In an instant, the old lady's face became painful.

However, with the nourishment of that drop of spiritual essence just now, it can last for a while longer.

However, this also made the abnormality of the old lady more obvious. Her skin had a light blue-gray color, and the evil aura she exuded was heavier than before.
