I watched Qingdai's receding figure, and opened my mouth to ask.
Qingdai didn't stop, but just replied faintly upon hearing my words:
"What do you think?"
After speaking, her figure disappeared into the end of the road, vanishing into the darkness.
I looked in the direction Qingdai disappeared, my heart trembling slightly.
Although Qingdai did not answer directly.
These three words already gave me the answer in my heart.
She really was the one who had been secretly protecting me.
The noble person who kept me safe from evil spirits for the past nineteen years, that guardian ghost.
Master and Brother Chen had both said that I was born with an Yin destiny, attracting ghosts.
But I had lived to the age of twenty, always safe and sound.
In fact, I had never believed in ghosts in this world before.
It was only in the past month or so, due to the accumulation of nineteen years, my "great fortune" had been continuously consumed by evil spirits, leaving very little.
This resulted in my personal luck being low, and only then did I encounter evil spirits and attract fierce ghosts.
Only then did I realize that in this world, there was a world of the bizarre and grotesque invisible to the naked eye.
I learned that beneath the darkness of the city, there was a world of the dead.
And the peaceful years of the past must have been Qingdai secretly protecting me.
If that were the case, then all the doubts I had before could be explained.
When I was almost hit by the dump truck, she pulled me back.
Neighbor Aunt Wang saw a woman enter my house with me, and the thin blanket inexplicably draped over me in the morning, might also have been Qingdai.
And when I was almost pushed off a cliff by a female ghost, and my back was pushed.
As well as when dealing with the wood spirit.
When the wood spirit was about to smash me to death, it looked at me in horror, then suddenly retracted its hand.
Allowing me to seize the opportunity and turn the tables.
It should also have been Qingdai.
The冥车, the haunted building, and now, all were Qingdai helping and saving me.
At this moment, I had an answer in my heart.
All the experiences I had gone through had traces of Qingdai's secret protection.
At this moment, I felt a sudden enlightenment, my heart filled with emotion and gratitude.
However, there was still a big question in my heart.
What was my connection with her that made her protect me until now?
Also, she was so powerful.
Why did she never reveal herself actively, but only saved me when I was in the most danger, on the verge of death?
I frowned, looking in the direction Qingdai had disappeared.
Clearly, I could not get an answer from her now.
Taking a deep breath, I put aside the doubts in my heart.
The most important thing now was to get Mo Ting out of here.
After all, Qingdai had said there was an even more ferocious female ghost here.
If we met again, we would be truly done for.
I quickly went to Mo Ting's side.
I pushed him with my hand and pinched his philtrum:
"Old Mo, Old Mo..."
Mo Ting quickly woke up under my calls.
"Brother Qin, are we... are we dead?"
Seeing Mo Ting wake up, he also said this.
I chuckled twice:
"Didn't you say it? We are envoys of light, children of destiny?
How could we die so easily?
Alright, let's go!"
I said.
Mo Ting heard this, clutched his very painful stomach, and sat up.
He looked left and right:
"Where's the headless fierce ghost? Did you kill it?"
I shook my head:
"Not exactly. I met a kind passerby named Qingfeng, who helped us out!"
Regarding Qingdai, I hadn't figured it out myself.
For now, I planned to keep it a secret.
Therefore, I didn't intend to tell Mo Ting...
Mo Ting looked at the broken straw not far away and sighed:
"It seems fate is on our side again."
After speaking, he grabbed my hand and stood up.
I supported Mo Ting and started walking towards the cemetery, limping.
At the same time, I took out my phone, ready to call a ride-hailing service to take Old Mo to the hospital first.
His abdomen was already badly bruised, and swollen high...
Taking out my phone, I found ten missed calls, all from Master.
It was probably because after the straw man shattered, Master was very worried about my condition.
I gave a wry smile and called Master back.
As soon as the phone rang, it was answered:
"Xiao Qin, are you alright? How is your situation now?"
Master's words were hurried, and he sounded very worried.
"I'm fine, Master. That fierce ghost has been dealt with, and I'm preparing to go to the hospital now."
I told him truthfully.
Master let out a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone when he heard that the fierce ghost had been resolved, and his tension eased considerably.
After talking with Master for a few more sentences, I hung up the phone.
At the same time, I called for a ride-hailing service, with the pickup location set at the entrance of Nanshan Cemetery.
Perhaps it was because the pickup location was somewhat taboo, and it was already late at night.
So for a long time, no driver dared to accept the order.
Finally, after adding forty yuan, a driver accepted the order and rushed over.
Before the car arrived, Mo Ting and I had already reached the entrance of Nanshan Cemetery.
Two lamps were lit at the entrance of the cemetery, with a large archway.
In the midst of these mountains and forests, it looked rather eerie.
As soon as we arrived at the cemetery entrance, I heard a tender little girl's voice:
"Big brother..."
Hearing this voice, Mo Ting and I looked up.
We saw a little girl suddenly dart out from behind the cemetery archway.
It was none other than the child ghost Li Lingling, whom Mo Ting and I had rescued...
