Looking at the remains, long burnt to ashes in the campfire.
The Doom Child was completely annihilated, ceasing to exist.
This matter was considered concluded.
I also obtained what I wanted, the Ghostly Lamp Oil.
The color of the ghost money on my left wrist chain had deepened considerably, likely adding about ten days' worth of lamp oil.
Now, apart from the little ghost.
Lu Yong and Wang Qin’s family would no longer be in mortal danger.
What remained infuriating, however,
was the creation of Doom Children and the sale of such harmful spirits to others.
As for the demonic Taoist Miao Nanzi, who indirectly helped in raising ghosts.
This demonic Taoist was utterly wicked.
He had even vowed previously to take my life, thus forging a deep enmity.
Though I was displeased with the demonic Taoist, I was helpless.
And it was not someone the current me could provoke.
I could only take things one step at a time; thinking more would be useless…
Mo Ting and I did not leave immediately.
Instead, we lit cigarettes and rested for a while on the spot.
Finally, after extinguishing the campfire and discarding all the charcoal into the lake, we turned and left Shuanghu Park.
With the matter concluded, I took out my phone and sent a text message to my master.
Informing him that the task was completed.
Putting away my phone, I said to Mo Ting beside me:
“Old Mo, the issue is resolved. You can head back now!”
But Mo Ting patted his stomach:
“I’m a bit hungry. How about we go grab some barbecue?”
I shook my head:
“I’m not hungry yet. You go ahead!
I’ll head back now and, on the way, deliver a message for Miss Wen, as I promised her last night.”
Upon my mention of “Miss Wen,” Old Mo suddenly remembered.
That last night, we had also promised a female ghost to deliver a message for her:
“Damn, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten.
We both promised last night. Let’s go together!
After that, we can go for drinks. I’ll crash at your place tonight.”
I smiled:
“Alright!”
Having agreed with Mo Ting, I hailed a car to take us back.
Half an hour later, we got out of the car and walked down the alley to find Miss Wen.
Before long, we arrived at the alley where we had met Miss Wen last night.
At first glance, the entire alley was empty.
Only a few dim streetlights flickered with a buzzing sound.
As the time for opening our eyes had long passed.
We did not see Miss Wen in the alley.
However, Mo Ting and I both felt a gust of Yin energy sweeping towards us, swirling all around.
The air temperature also dropped considerably.
Even without opening our eyes, Mo Ting and I could tell there was a ghost nearby.
Most likely Miss Wen.
I looked at the empty street and said:
“Miss Wen, please wait a moment. Mo Ting and I haven’t opened our eyes yet.”
Having said that, we both took out the medicinal liquid, intending to open our Heavenly Eyes again.
We sprayed the medicinal liquid onto our eyelids and gently rubbed them with our fingers.
This time, besides the cold sensation.
We also felt our eyes were very dry and a bit swollen and painful.
This should be a side effect of opening the Heavenly Eyes with external means.
Repeatedly opening the Heavenly Eyes should also place some burden on the body.
But it was not a big problem, entirely conquerable.
When I opened my eyes again, everything around me became clear.
The street, which was originally empty, suddenly had a woman in a white dress.
It was none other than the female ghost who helped us catch the Egg Soul last night, Miss Wen.
“Daoist Priest Qin, Daoist Priest Mo, can you see me now?”
Miss Wen, with a hint of excitement, looked at me with her gray eyes wide open.
Hearing Miss Wen call me, I smiled faintly:
“Yes, Miss Wen, I can see you.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Mo Ting also reopened his Heavenly Eyes.
“Miss Wen, our matter has been handled.
Now, take us upstairs to see your boyfriend!
To fulfill your wish.”
Upon hearing our words, Miss Wen nodded repeatedly:
“Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!”
Miss Wen was extremely excited and happy.
Because after tonight, it would be her seventh day after death.
After midnight tomorrow, she would have to go to the Underworld.
This was her last wish before going to the Underworld.
She also hoped to see her boyfriend bounce back and stop blaming himself.
Mo Ting and I merely smiled faintly and nodded.
Then, Miss Wen floated, leading us towards her boyfriend’s apartment.
She floated at a moderate pace but was very happy.
In a short while, we entered an old building.
We walked up the stairs and soon arrived at the door of Miss Wen’s boyfriend’s home.
Fifth floor, 503.
Two palm-sized door god stickers were pasted on the door.
Pasting door gods was very common in our village; a few years ago, almost every household had them.
The elders said that pasting door gods could bring peace, ward off evil spirits, grant good fortune, and bring auspiciousness.
However, people in the city nowadays rarely pasted these things, thinking they were unsightly.
At the same time, they had nowhere to paste them.
Although the door god stickers were small, it was these two deities that prevented Miss Wen, a Yin soul, from entering the house.
Every night, she could only stand downstairs and look at the window.
Miss Wen stood at the stairwell, looking at the door god stickers on the door:
“I, I can only come this far. The divine light of the two immortal beings prevents me from approaching.”
Miss Wen looked at the door god stickers on the door with some apprehension.
Mo Ting and I nodded.
“Yes, alright.”
Having said that, Mo Ting and I walked forward and came to the door.
I glanced at the door god stickers on the door. They had names on them.
Not the common Great Tang double generals Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Gong, but the two divine generals Shen Cha and Yu Lei…
