Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Truth Behind the Unsolved Case Comes to Light Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Truth Behind the Unsolved Case Comes to Light In an instant, a dense crowd of students moved toward the haunted building like zombies, numbly shuffling forward.

The scene resembled a spine-chilling horror movie, causing goosebumps to rise on one’s skin.

Moreover, it was obvious that the seals containing the haunted building had been completely broken, rendering them useless.

“Little Long…” Ma Chuxia looked at Huang Xiaolong with some nervousness.

To tell the truth, with so many students possessed, whether it was her, Taoist Master Hong, or Huo Bingyan, they were all helpless.

“Heh~~ they even brought me a starter dessert~ Alright, interesting.” Huang Xiaolong smiled nonchalantly and with a wave of his hand, a vast expanse of golden light burst forth.

Within this golden light, dense ancient talismans flickered and pulsed.

In that moment, all the possessed students were enveloped in the golden light, as if bathed in the warmth of spring.

Soon, each student expelled wisps of black smoke from their mouths, some even began to vomit. Their consciousness quickly returned to them.

“Eh? How the hell did I get here?”

“It’s so cold~~ damn, it’s freezing. Did I sleepwalk out here in the middle of the night?”

“The haunted building! How did we come here by ourselves, could it be… is it…”

…

Taoist Master Hong took charge of the situation, dispersing all the students and telling them to return to their dorms and sleep, advising against wandering around the campus tonight.

“Let’s not waste any time; let’s go in and take a look.” Huang Xiaolong strode toward the haunted building.

Ma Chuxia, Huo Bingyan, and Taoist Master Hong hurried to follow.

Entering the haunted building, Huang Xiaolong took out some incense sticks and chanted the Fire Bell Spell to light them up.

Inside the haunted building, the atmosphere was heavy with gloom, like a freezer or a graveyard, utterly terrifying. Blood seeped continuously from the walls, and in the restroom, the faucets were left running, spewing out bloodwater with a pungent odor.

“The resentment from the spirits in this haunted building is so strong,” Huo Bingyan muttered.

“By the way, Min Yifei said, which dorm was the dismembered girl ‘Mo Aiqing’ living in?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a grin.

“Husband, I remember it was room 204,” Huo Bingyan quickly said.

“Alright, let’s head straight to room 204 then.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

The group then made their way to the second floor of the dormitory.

Outside room 204, the door was tightly shut.

Faint crying sounds seeped out from within the room.

It seemed like something was crying, definitely not a human cry, and the sound was indeed heart-wrenchingly sad.

“It… it’s really in there… Mo Aiqing… could it really be Mo Aiqing…” Taoist Master Hong, being a local from Zhengjiang City, knew that the dismemberment case of Mo Aiqing had once caused a sensation. To possibly see Mo Aiqing’s spirit now, he felt mixed emotions, fear mingled with a desire to solve the mystery.

Huang Xiaolong smiled. “I’m not too familiar with investigating cases. However, if the specter in this dormitory is indeed Mo Aiqing, then something’s not quite right.”

“Ah? Husband, what’s not right?” Huo Bingyan asked, looking confused.

“Think about it. The dismemberment case back then occurred after Mo Aiqing went missing and was murdered after leaving the school. Thus, Mo Aiqing’s spirit shouldn’t be in the school,” Huang Xiaolong said with a half-smile.

“Sss~~!” As a local who had undoubtedly studied the cold case, when the investigation had reached a dead end, Taoist Master Hong knew that many Taoists were once called in by related parties to catch the real culprit through supernatural methods like soul summoning, but ultimately, they failed. Taoist Master Hong was among the Taoists invited by the school at that time. Now, hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, he seemed to have an epiphany. “Mr. Huang, are you suggesting… that Mo Aiqing’s spirit didn’t move on to reincarnation and would only linger at the original crime scene! If that’s the case, the spirit in room 204… it means…”

“That night, Mo Aiqing never left the school! Or after leaving, she returned to her dormitory! Her own dormitory was actually the original crime scene! She was killed right there in her dormitory!” Ma Chuxia’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Perhaps the dismemberment didn’t occur in the dormitory, but at least Mo Aiqing was killed there!”

“Hahaha~~ there’s no need to guess any further, let’s go in and take a look.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled playfully and then pushed open the old wooden door, calling out, “Mo Aiqing, are you in the dormitory?”

The dormitory door swung open in response!

Inside the dusty, cobweb-filled dormitory, some decayed beds were placed!

The windows were covered with wooden slats.

At that moment, a shadow was seen sitting at a writing desk by the window, facing away from the door, sobbing softly.

That shadow emitted an overwhelming aura of resentment!

“Mo Aiqing,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

The shadow slowly turned around.

Huang Xiaolong straightforwardly burned a revealing charm, and the entire dormitory blazed with bright golden light!

“Ah~~~!”

Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingyan almost screamed simultaneously. Although the scream was brief, lasting only half a second before they regained their composure, it was clear that when they saw the shadow turn and face them, they were deeply terrified, instinctively letting out a scream.

Taoist Master Hong went even paler and kept retreatin.

Indeed, the figure turning its head was a female ghost, her entire body draped in deep purple. She was, undeniably, a purple-clad vengeful ghost, yet the resentment emanating from her ghostly form was many times stronger than that of the vast majority of her kind.

In terms of pure resentment, this purple-clad vengeful ghost probably wouldn’t lose to an ordinary ghost king!

This resentment condensed into blood, which ceaselessly spurted out from her body.

As a result, the floor of the dormitory soon became like a rising tide, covered with a layer of blood.

The face of the purple-clad female ghost looked as though it were made of torn strips of paper, pieces of flesh haphazardly stuck to it.

And her spectral body was itself pieced together from strips of blood-drenched flesh. At a glance, one could even see the ghastly pale bones within.

Organs had tumbled out from her belly, dangling on the outside.

Ghastly!

This purple-clad female ghost had met with too cruel a death when she was alive!

Her ghostly eyes bulged, filled with bloodshot veins, and with a look of resentment, unwillingness, hatred, and distortion, she looked at Huang Xiaolong and the others.

“It seems that in life, she was brutally murdered and dismembered. This is akin to the ancient execution by slow slicing. Such a death often creates a type of ghost known as ‘Qiang Ghost’, which refers to the vengeful spirits of those who died under severe torture. Without a doubt, among all ghostly spirits, the resentment of a ‘Qiang Ghost’ is the strongest and also the most terrifying,” Huang Xiaolong said matter-of-factly. “It appears that this purple-clad ‘Qiang Ghost’ is indeed the former–”

“Mo Aiqing!!!” Ma Chuxia, Huo Bingyan, and Taoist Master Hong exclaimed almost in unison.

“Tell us, who exactly is your murderer?” Huang Xiaolong said to the purple-clad ‘Qiang Ghost’ with a smile.

At the same time, a subtle pressure spread out, restraining her so that she wouldn’t fly into a rage and launch an indiscriminate attack on Huang Xiaolong and the others.

“Don’t worry, I am a person who distinguishes right from wrong very clearly. Name your murderer, and I will seek justice for you,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

The words of Huang Xiaolong carried an indescribable persuasive power, and the resentment within the purple-clad ‘Qiang Ghost’ weakened. She began to weep softly, whining, trying to speak, but on closer inspection, it was apparent that she had only half a tongue left inside her mouth.

It seemed that before becoming a ghost, even her tongue had been cut off.

Cruel! Such an act was utterly heartless and shocking!

A hint of ferocity flickered through Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, and he promptly took out several “Soul-Healing Talismans,” throwing them directly at the purple-clad ‘Qiang Ghost’, “Eat these, and from now on, you will no longer suffer any pain.”

The purple-clad ‘Qiang Ghost’ took the Soul-Healing Talismans with a grateful look, deeply gazing at Huang Xiaolong, then consumed the talismans.

Soon, her spectral form began to emit a hazy light.

Her fragmented ghostly body gradually healed.

A few minutes later, that horrifying image had transformed into the likeness of a demure, artless girl with a touch of immaturity.

It was none other than Mo Aiqing!

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Mo Aiqing immediately got down on her knees before Huang Xiaolong, banging her head in gratitude. “Master, I am Mo Aiqing…”

“I had already guessed your identity. Now, tell me everything about your situation in detail.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

“Yes, Master.” Mo Aiqing fell into a memory, her eyes filling with a vengeful glint as she clenched her teeth. “That day, my roommate was caught using electrical appliances against the rules, and since I was the dormitory head, I was punished along with her. There were four girls in the dorm including me, and we were all fined. But… it had nothing to do with me. I even tried to stop them when they were breaking the rules. Later, I was in a bad mood, so I went out to buy some things. When I returned to the dorm, I couldn’t help but have an argument with my roommates. Then… then… then they strangled me to death…”

Mo Aiqing’s personal account finally shed light on the truth behind the mysterious case in Zhengjiang City!

“And the dismemberment? I don’t think it would have been done by your three roommates.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

“After they killed me… they made a phone call and had our school physician… Min Yifei come… Min Yifei put my body in a chest, then took it out of the school…” Mo Aiqing’s eyes flashed with hatred. “In Min Yifei’s home, there were all kinds of surgical tools… He dissected my body and discarded it in multiple places…”

“So the killer and the body disposer weren’t the same person, but were accomplices!” Taoist Master Hong suddenly understood. “No wonder, when we questioned Mo Aiqing’s roommates at that time, because they had alibis, they were let go… And when we questioned Min Yifei, he lacked a motive… A perfect collusion! Such cooperation was indeed seamless!”

“That beast Min Yifei!” Taoist Master Hong gritted his teeth with hatred, “Now, he is a highly respected principal among the elite social circles of Zhengjiang City… Who would have thought that he was capable of such a despicable and inhuman act back then! And those three roommates of Mo Aiqing, they also deserve to die!”

“Hahaha~~ Seamless collusion? I think ‘The net of Heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through’is more like it.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. Then he said to Mo Aiqing, “Don’t blame others here. Rest assured, vengeance may be delayed, but it will not be denied. I will personally avenge you. None of those who harmed you will get away, and their deaths will be more miserable than yours.”

Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s promise, Mo Aiqing knelt down again, incessantly kowtowing to him.

At the same time, the vengeful spirit on Mo Aiqing’s ghost also began to dissipate gradually.

After all, having consumed a soul-replenishing talisman and having her fragmented ghostly form restored, Mo Aiqing no longer had any connection with the term “harming ghost.”

However, after Mo Aiqing’s grudge faded, a terrifying resentment still lingered throughout the haunted building! This resentment was even thicker and far surpassed Mo Aiqing’s!

Huang Xiaolong was not unfamiliar with this kind of resentment!

“Mo Aiqing, I want to ask you. Has a Dongying formidable ghost named… Kayako, come to this building?” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze flickered.

“Yes… Yes, Master. Half a month ago, a female ghost from Dongying entered this dormitory building. Its resentment is strong, much stronger than mine, and I am very wary of it… At first, this dormitory building still had some remnants of sealing power, but as soon as that Dongying ghost came, it broke all these seals, and it asked me to join it in tormenting the living people of Zhengjiang City.” Mo Aiqing told Huang Xiaolong everything, “Because the dorm had my resentment, which was not weak, it attracted the Dongying ghost here. It wanted me to be its slave, or it would scatter my soul. These past few days, I’ve been considering… I also don’t dare to leave the dorm casually, otherwise, it’ll kill me… This Dongying ghost… It almost has the power of a Ghost King… Its resentment is especially terrifying… I am no match for it, but I don’t want to be its slave either…”

“Hehe~~ Where is it?” A murderous light flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

“Master, that Dongying ghost is on the top floor of the dormitory building, let me take you there,” said Mo Aiqing respectfully.
