Chapter 1 The Bloody Nightgown

As Xia Mengying approached, I casually rolled the blood-stained clothes onto my arm, and holding the pajamas with one hand, said, "I've disgraced the founding father. I've been touched by an Yin spirit."

"Yin spirit!" Xia Mengying looked around, "Where's the Yin spirit?"

Before I could explain to Xia Mengying, I heard the sound of a police car coming from the residential area. Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing also arrived downstairs. Feng Ruoxing's first question was, "Where did you get the clothes in your hand?"

I was stunned. Was I the only one who could see the Yin spirit?

Before I could speak, Ye Yang spoke first, "Let's go! Trouble will come in a moment."

Ye Yang dragged me out of the residential area, turning several times before leaving the area from another direction.

Ye Yang dragged me straight into a noodle restaurant on the street, found a private room, and sat down, "Do you know what you just did?"

"I just..." I explained what I had encountered, and Ye Yang shook his head, "No! You were right to walk out of the crowd, but everything after that was wrong."

"I saw you walk to the corpse and pull off the dead person's pajamas, then squeeze back into the crowd with the pajamas in your hand. When someone tried to stop you, you even pushed them away."

"Then, you ran behind the building yourself."

Ye Yang looked at me and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you put that dress on yourself, and then tore it off and held it in your hand!"

"Ghostly Possession!" Feng Ruoxing and I said in unison, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

Ghostly possession is a trick played by ordinary ghosts. Even a sorcerer with less cultivation than me wouldn't be fooled. How could I be possessed by the other party when I was carefully guarding against it?

Ye Yang shook his head and said, "This isn't ghostly possession, you've become a character in the story."

As Ye Yang spoke, he threw a manuscript on my table, "Take a look, this is what Du Fei wrote."

"'The Bloody Nightgown,'" I read the manuscript, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

"The Bloody Nightgown" is roughly about a girl who wants to take revenge on her boyfriend.

Because she didn't have the ability to take revenge on her boyfriend, who was excellent in every way, she learned a secret technique from a street performer. She used a letter to trick her boyfriend into coming to her unfinished house, and let him see her jumping to her death from the window.

When her boyfriend rushed to the vicinity of the corpse, he was possessed by her ghost, and took off her pajamas in full view of the public.

The boyfriend himself was unaware, and only chased after the girl's ghost in the crowd.

The process of the man chasing the ghost was exactly the same as my situation at the time, even the words the female ghost said behind people's backs were no different.

Am I in Du Fei's story?

My first reaction was the "Chasing Bai Xin" mission.

This time, the situation I encountered was different from "Chasing Bai Xin." Bai Xin only gave clues in the story, but this time it made people fall into the other party's story.

After I handed the story to Xia Mengying, Ye Yang said, "This matter is a bit tricky. When you lost control and went to get the pajamas, I summoned the ghost messengers to clean up the mess for you."

"Although I managed to suppress the matter, I'm afraid the story will continue to develop."

Xia Mengying said, "According to the plot, Du Fei's ghost will continue to pester her ex-boyfriend until he collapses. Moreover, the police will suspect that the ex-boyfriend killed Du Fei. In the end, all the clues will point to him. He will be arrested and sent to prison."

"Then, Du Fei completed her final revenge in prison. She controlled her ex-boyfriend to write a confession, and then hanged him on the bed rails in the prison."

"At that time, her ex-boyfriend wanted to call for help, but everyone in the cell was looking at him with a sneer. Just like when he abandoned Du Fei, his companions were surrounding Du Fei with contemptuous sneers, without a trace of pity or sympathy, only ruthless ridicule and contempt."

As soon as Xia Mengying finished speaking, I looked across the table, "In the story, the first place Du Fei's boyfriend saw the ghost was a roadside noodle restaurant, right?"

Xia Mengying subconsciously said "Yes," before realizing, "Are we following the plot of the story?"

"It seems that this story isn't complete!" I said in a deep voice, "This story isn't new, and it's written very roughly. Moreover, there's a huge loophole."

"Du Fei doesn't understand ghosts and monsters. She doesn't know that the reason why ghosts become fierce is because of the resentment in their hearts. When a ghost takes revenge, the first thing that loses its mind is the ghost itself. The reason why a fierce ghost kills people regardless of whether the other party has any grievances with it is because of this."

"According to the story, when Du Fei was abandoned, she was humiliated by many people. If she becomes a fierce ghost to take revenge, she won't let anyone go. The fact that none of you have been involved in this story is the key for me to break the situation."

I said in a deep voice, "All of you leave, don't stay here. According to the direction of the story, there should be a long time between me being taken back to the police station and being confused by the ghost and committing suicide. You go find clues, I'll follow the story."
