Chapter 138: The Salvation Squad 4
After a long while, Zhang Meng slowly came down from upstairs. She walked over to the two of them with heavy steps and sat down. It was clear that her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color. She looked as if she had been deeply frightened by what had happened before, and a look of fear still lingered in her eyes.
The moment Lingjiu saw Zhang Meng, she was quick to spot signs of a bloody disaster. Without making a sound, she quietly drew a spell in the air with her finger, then deftly sent it to Zhang Meng.
Lingjiu simply asked Zhang Meng a few questions and without staying for too long, he and Qi Jin got up and left the villa.
After the two returned to the car, Qi Jin started the car and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Master Ling, Zhang Meng is so timid! It's been half a month since this happened, and the authorities have also announced that it was a prank. Why is she still so upset?"
"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door." Lingjiu said calmly while looking out the window.
When the light turned red, Qi Jin stopped the car and turned to look at Ling Jiu: "You mean... what should we do next?"
Lingjiu leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a doze. He only uttered one word softly: "Wait."
After enjoying a delicious dinner, Lingjiu and Qijin took a stroll in the park to digest their food. The air in the park was fresh and pleasant, and the surrounding trees rustled in the breeze.
At this moment, Lingjiu felt a strange reaction from the amulet on Zhang Meng's body. She turned around and said to Qi Jin with a hint of excitement on her face, "The show is about to begin."
Qi Jin looked confused and asked, "What?"
Before she could react, Lingjiu grabbed her arm, and in an instant, their figures disappeared from the spot like light and shadow.
The next second, Lingjiu and Qi Jin appeared in Zhang Meng's home. Qi Jin was a little dazed by this sudden teleportation, and the strange yet familiar environment before her made her a little stunned.
At this moment, Lingjiu's clear voice rang in her ears: "It's time to work."
Qi Jin instantly woke up from his trance.
And at the place where Lingjiu and Qi Jin had just teleported away, there was a person standing there - Gu Nanxiao.
His brow furrowed, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. Gu Nanxiao had always been a staunch materialist, never believing in the existence of demons or monsters. However, just witnessing two girls vanish before his very eyes, this counterintuitive phenomenon had a profound impact on his worldview.
He stood there blankly, his mind racing with thoughts. If he went to the police now, even if he was powerful, he would probably be considered a psychopath! He fell into deep thought.
Zhang Meng's home was instantly engulfed in a thick darkness, so thick that it was pitch dark. Ling Jiu calmly pulled a talisman from his sleeve, muttered something, and with a flick of his finger, the talisman instantly burst into a dazzling light, dispelling the darkness.
"what!!!"
Suddenly, Zhang Meng's terrified scream rang out from the second floor. The sound was like a sharp arrow in the silent house, piercing their eardrums. Ling Jiu and Qi Jin exchanged a glance, then quickly ran to the second floor.
Qi Jin was the first to arrive at Zhang Meng's room on the second floor. Without giving it any thought, he fiercely kicked the door open. What greeted him was a strange and terrifying scene: Su Xiao's body was floating lightly in the air, a strange red light flashing around it, while Wang Jing stood across from Zhang Meng, her eyes filled with resentment.
Zhang Meng was obviously very frightened. There was blood on her body, her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and she had fainted.
When Wang Jing saw Lingjiu and Qi Jin appear, her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing a desperate madness, and she shouted: "Don't try to stop me! Even if I die today, I will drag her to be buried with Xiaoxiao!" As she spoke, she reached into her pocket, quickly took out a dagger, raised it high, and stabbed Zhang Meng fiercely.
At this critical moment, Lingjiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and snapped his fingers. In an instant, Wang Jing was frozen in place as if under a spell, unable to move an inch.
Lingjiu walked over slowly, snatched the dagger from Wang Jing's hand, and threw it casually. The dagger fell into the corner with a clang. Then, she raised her head slightly and looked at Su Xiao, who was furious in the air. Su Xiao was like a mad beast, ready to attack Lingjiu.
Lingjiu's expression did not change. He slowly raised his hand and gently pressed his slender index finger against Su Xiao's broken forehead.
Wang Jing couldn't move her body, and couldn't see what Lingjiu did. She was extremely anxious, her face covered with tears, and she collapsed and shouted, "Don't touch her! Please, don't hurt her anymore!"
However, what was magical was that with Lingjiu's touch, the strong resentment in Su Xiao's body gradually decreased, and the red light on her body slowly dimmed. She gradually calmed down, and her originally distorted and terrifying face returned to its original state, beautiful and gentle.
Lingjiu then put down his fingers and smiled softly: "Not bad, this looks much more comfortable."
The hostility in Su Xiao's eyes completely disappeared. She slowly fell from the air and gently hugged the crying Wang Jing from behind.
Lingjiu snapped his fingers again, and Wang Jing resumed her movements. She turned around and saw Su Xiao, who had recovered, sobbing and saying, "Xiaoxiao, you're recovered. I'm so glad you're okay. I thought... I thought I was going to lose you forever again."
She seemed to have suddenly thought of something, a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, and without hesitation, she knelt down in front of Lingjiu with a plop, tightly grasping the corner of Lingjiu's clothes with both hands, her eyes full of pleading: "Please, help her, you are so powerful, there must be a way, right? You must help her!"
Qi Jin watched this scene and hurriedly brought a chair for Lingjiu. Lingjiu sat down slowly: "She did a lot of good things in her life and accidentally saved several lives. Although she didn't know about it, her merits are there. I can keep her safe, but..." Lingjiu stared at Su Xiao: "Tell me everything that happened!"
Since Su Xiao became a ghost, she has never been able to speak again. At this moment, she opened her mouth slightly and tried to speak. Unexpectedly, she really heard her own voice. The voice was a little hoarse and full of endless grievances. She began to slowly tell her story:
"A month ago, my mother's birthday was approaching, and I had always wanted to give her a gift. Her electric scooter was very old, so I wanted to buy her a new one. That day, Zhang Meng came to me and said she wanted to introduce me to a well-paying part-time job - tutoring her cousin. Although we didn't talk much on a daily basis, we never had any arguments. I was very grateful for her willingness to help me. On my day off, I went to the place according to the address she gave me."
"Her cousin is a high school student. The first few tutoring sessions were normal and we got along well. But later, he started touching me intentionally or unintentionally, and that made me very uncomfortable. I told Zhang Meng I didn't want to go, but she kept persuading me to go one last time. She kept asking me to do it, and I couldn't resist, so I agreed."
