Lin Ran, seeing Chu Tian take the jar, said, "Unseal it, and ask whatever you want to ask! Deal with it yourself when it's done."
He turned and left after speaking.
This whole operation left Chu Tian and the other three dumbfounded. Chu Tian asked, "How do we deal with it? Destroy it? What about the hospital people?"
Lin Ran didn't speak. Lin Chi, beside him, said, "Before you came here, Xiao Yu had already been to the hospital. Everything is fine there now!"
"Everything is fine?" Chu Tian was stunned.
"Yes, it wasn't that there was no way to deal with the ghost蛊 (gu), but we were afraid that resolving one person would attract the attention of the person who cast the spell.
This would lead to delays in rescuing the other three, putting them in danger.
Moreover, we wanted to find the source.
We thought about reporting to the Ninth Bureau to earn more money, alas... it turned into a lot of trouble. If you hadn't found it, the three of us would probably be dead by now." Da Feng Fiction Network
Lin Chi shook his head, a look of dejection on his face.
Hearing this, Chu Tian knew that these three siblings, who seemed to love money, were actually very kind-hearted.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed to the hospital to help Yan Pengkun and the others get treatment as soon as they returned.
Chu Tian held the jar in his hands, thinking hard about whether to open it.
Lin Ran said that if Tao Jiayu's spiritual body lost control, it would have to be destroyed.
No matter what ill will Tao Jiayu had towards him before, she was still an old classmate. Their grievances didn't reach the point of killing each other.
Moreover, he had already vented his anger when he fired her and caused her a lot of trouble. Tao Jiayu had also returned the bracelet that Luoluo had given him.
Besides, she was already dead. If her spiritual body were destroyed now, she wouldn't even have a chance to reincarnate.
In the past, Chu Tian didn't believe in reincarnation. But he had personally been to the underworld once.
He learned there that reincarnation was indeed possible, but the monsters at the bridge indiscriminately killed spiritual bodies, making it quite difficult to pass.
There were also the Nine Springs beyond that, with their monstrous fish, all of which were formidable obstacles.
But no matter how difficult it was, going to the underworld still offered a chance.
If Tao Jiayu's spiritual body were destroyed here, then there would be no chance at all.
However, if he didn't open it, he wouldn't know how she became a spiritual body.
If it was really his fault that she died, Chu Tian would definitely feel guilty.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Chu Tian's mind. While he was still in a daze, hesitating,
Suddenly, the jar in his hand disappeared.
"I've never seen a real ghost..."
"Don't..."
Screech...
Zhao Lei, who was standing right beside Chu Tian, snatched the jar and directly tore off the spirit-sealing talisman.
Bang... the jar exploded.
Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat.
White mist filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision.
Strangely, the mist did not spread beyond the courtyard walls.
Chu Tian immediately expanded his divine sense.
He discovered that when his divine sense penetrated the courtyard walls, there was a slight obstruction.
It felt like breaking through a thin membrane.
He also noticed a faint light screen covering the entire courtyard in his field of vision.
Incredible, this courtyard was protected by a formation.
The mist inside the courtyard appeared quickly and dissipated just as quickly.
When everyone regained their sight, they found nothing unusual.
Two people present looked unwell.
One was Chu Tian, who looked worried.
The other was the goofy Zhao Lei, who was now pale and soaking wet.
Gao Kai and Jing Kaiyu also noticed his change.
Zhao Lei closed his eyes, his head bowed.
Steam emanated from his body, as if all the sweat he would produce in a lifetime was being expelled at that moment.
A puddle had already formed at his feet.
"Tao Jiayu?" Chu Tian asked tentatively.
"Chu Tian..." Zhao Lei suddenly looked up, his voice a strange mixture of male and female tones.
This mixed voice sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Looking at him, his eyes were devoid of pupils, his eyeballs a terrifying white, staring at Chu Tian.
Gao Kai glanced at Zhao Lei, frowned, hesitated, then leaned into Chu Tian's ear and whispered something.
Chu Tian's eyes flickered upon hearing that.
"I want you dead..." Zhao Lei said, lunging towards Chu Tian.
Jing Kaiyu flickered, about to stop him.
Gao Kai, however, grabbed his arm and shook his head.
In that brief moment of delay, Zhao Lei had already reached Chu Tian.
His hands reached out directly to choke Chu Tian's neck.
Chu Tian remained still, allowing the hands to grasp his neck.
"Tao Jiayu... stop fooling around!" Chu Tian said calmly.
When Zhao Lei heard this, his body jolted as if struck by electricity. He instantly retracted his arms and staggered back several steps.
Chu Tian smiled calmly.
"I told you, he's not scared of you!" Lin Ran walked out of the house.
He was holding a wet plush bear.
It was evident that this plush bear had just been fished out of a water tank.
He threw it in front of Zhao Lei and continued, "Hurry up and come out, or this guy will be completely dehydrated by you!"
"Oh..." Zhao Lei let out a woman's voice, shivered, and collapsed onto the ground.
In Chu Tian's divine sense, he saw a white mist emerge from Zhao Lei's body and land on the wet plush bear.
The plush bear eerily got up.
"Come on, guys, give me a hand!" Lin Ran beckoned to Gao Kai and Jing Kaiyu to help carry the unconscious Zhao Lei.
Only Chu Tian and the plush bear remained in the courtyard.
"You..." Chu Tian didn't know how to begin.
"Listen to me! I don't have much time..." The voice was normal now, but coming from inside the plush bear made it very strange.
However, Tao Jiayu got straight to the point and began recounting the events of the past two months.
About a month ago.
Before Chu Tian and the others went to the Qinling Mountains, on the day they encountered Li Ge and his gang causing trouble at the gym.
In a hotel room in Shengjing City.
A woman was holding a mobile phone, also watching this report.
"How is this possible... Chu Tian..." This woman's expression shifted from surprise to boundless resentment.
Chu Tian would recognize her immediately if he saw her; it was Tao Jiayu, whom he had spared before.
She turned off the video and angrily threw the phone aside.
After a moment, she picked it up again, found a phone number in her contacts, and dialed it.
"Hello, I'd like to speak with Young Master Zhao Hai..."
"Please wait!" a man's voice came from the other end.
The number Tao Jiayu dialed was Zhao Hai's private number, which few people knew.
Therefore, dialing this number would surely get her directly to him.
Zhao Hai was Li Ge's backer.
He was Director Zhao's son, and it was said that with a stomp of his foot, Shengjing City would tremble.
He had a host of sycophantic underlings, and that red-haired Yang Kai was one of them.
Through the Li Ge connection, she had managed to establish some contact with Zhao Hai.
