Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 427: Transaction with the Remnant Soul

The inner room was already dimly lit, and when the cold wind blew, several candles were blown out. Only the candle next to Si He was still burning, illuminating a corner of the inner room so that it would not be plunged into darkness.

Soon, the cold wind stopped, but an ominous atmosphere filled the room. The temperature seemed to drop a little, with a faint chill, which made people feel panic and cold.

But Si He looked calmly at the void in front of him, and after a while, he saw a ghost slowly appearing there.

That remnant soul turned out to be like this.

Its face was indeed very scary. The skin on its face looked like it had no good flesh at all. It was covered with burn marks of varying sizes. Some parts were even rotten, yet bloody. Even its lips were incomplete, revealing its white teeth and flesh. If a timid person saw it, he would be scared to death, just like Guo Shuangjiang before.

Its clothes are not like ordinary red clothes. The color is either dark or light, as if stained with blood. This kind of red is even more heart-wrenching.

It floated in mid-air, its long hair as black as the night, moving without wind, the ends of its hair gently fluttering, forming a sharp contrast with its blood-red clothes.

However, only the upper body can be seen, and the lower body is wrapped in gray mist, which seems to be that it has not fully recovered yet.

"Thank you..."

It began to express its gratitude, and when it looked at her, the hostility and resentment in its eyes had subsided a lot, appearing somewhat empty and lifeless. However, its speech became much more coherent, unlike before when it spoke word by word.

But the sound is a bit loud.

"Shh!" Si He made a gesture to keep quiet.

It said: "The people outside are gone."

Si He raised her eyebrows, she had underestimated it. Its ability increased so quickly that it could even use ghost power to block out sounds.

"It seems that you have eaten a lot of souls recently."

Only in this way could it recover so quickly. Not only could it reveal its true form, but its ghost power also increased a lot.

Hearing this, its eyes suddenly became sharp, filled with endless anger, and said: "They deserve to die! They deserve to die--"

For a moment, the negative energy here surged, and the talisman paper pasted in the room outside also reacted and floated up gently.

"Calm down, or you'll attract those mages and I won't care about you anymore!"

At her scolding, it finally subsided its surging evil spirit and slowly floated down to the ground, becoming much more obedient. However, its anger was still there, but it was trying hard to suppress it. After a while, it said, "Look at me like this, it's all those damned people who have harmed me... They've hurt me so badly... I want to tear them apart, skin them, cut them into pieces... and eat them all!"

Si He looked at it calmly and said, "You can't defeat those mages."

The wizards today were quite capable and had a lot of exorcism items, so they trapped it firmly in the back garden. If she hadn't gone there, it wouldn't have been able to hold on for long and would have been beaten to death or captured alive and refined to make the ghost in the joker card.

It stared at her straight in the eyes and said, "Help me!"

Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "I've helped you twice before, and including this time today, that's three times."

It asks: "What do you want?"

Si He's smile deepened. "Very smart. Let's make a deal. You help me with something, and I'll help you solve some problems."

It calmed down now and said, "You say."

Si He took out the evil-protecting scale from his pocket. The black scale, slightly larger than a copper coin, was quite conspicuous in the dim light because the runes on the scale glowed with a faint green light, which looked very special.

Its eyes were fixed on the thing in her hand, with some vigilance.

Seeing its defensive look, Si He said, "This is a good thing. It can cover up your evil spirit and also protect you from exorcism to a certain extent."

Upon hearing this, it was obviously shocked, and then a greedy look appeared on its face.

……

Outside the house, Gao You and Gao Zi turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction of the inner room, because they both clearly felt something strange just now. There was suddenly a strange atmosphere over there, and an inexplicable feeling of danger filled their hearts, just like when they were in the back garden before.

But this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, as if it was just an illusion.

But after the two of them looked at each other tacitly, they knew that there was indeed something different.

Gao You thought about what she had bought before and guessed something. She shook her head slightly at Gao Zi and then looked away.

Both of them pretended to know nothing and stood guard at the door honestly.

Time passed slowly, and after a long while, the door opened and Si He said, "Let Hong Que come over."

Hong Que was a first-class maid in the courtyard. She was supposed to serve Si He personally, but Si He never asked anyone to enter her house to serve her. Usually, she was only used as a maid for menial tasks.

Gao You responded and went out to call someone.

After a while, Red Sparrow came over. She was a little puzzled as to why she was suddenly summoned so late at night. After all, she rarely came into the house on weekdays, and her master had never spoken to her before.

Gao You and Gao Zi were also a little puzzled, but they didn't ask any more questions and left the room obediently.

After Redbird entered the room, she looked at the young lady sitting at the dressing table.

At this moment, she was wiping her wet long hair with a cloth.

In the bronze mirror, the woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, fair skin and red lips, like a lotus emerging from the water. It was pleasing to the eye to look at, and she was truly born with a beautiful appearance.

Hong Que retracted her gaze and saluted her, "Miss Jiu, what do you want me to do?"

Si He put down the towel and picked up the comb. Then he turned around and looked at Hong Que. "What else did the old lady ask you to do besides keep an eye on me?"

Hearing this, Hong Que raised her head in shock, looked at her with a terrified expression, and said, "Miss, you are wrongly accusing me. I was not sent by the old lady to keep an eye on you, and I did not do anything to you. I hope you will understand."

Si He looked into her eyes and asked, "Really?"

Redbird originally looked a little frightened, but after their eyes met, she suddenly lost her mind, her eyes became empty, and she was stunned.

Si He stood up and walked a few steps forward. He reached out and felt around Hong Que's body, taking out the talisman paper he was carrying. Then he said to the void not far away, "I leave it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible evil energy quickly penetrated into Redbird's body.

The Redbird's originally dull face immediately began to become ferocious, and its whole body trembled. After a while, it fell to the ground, looking as if it had fallen ill.

Si He took out a silver needle and pierced the acupuncture points on her body. Only then did she stop trembling and didn't even make a sound, but her face was still ferocious.

This is the state of being eaten by the soul, and it is going smoothly. She doesn't need to use talisman paper to suppress it like before.
