Chapter 106: Chapter 103: Staying in the Countryside, Encountering Villains

The female ghost flashed them a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.

Her eyes were filled with despair and emptiness, yet she forcibly stretched her mouth into a grin.

Qin Zhao observed her carefully for a while. Her limbs moved slowly, but she could keep up with the car, not because she was crawling by herself, but because she was compelled to follow the vehicle.

Her gaze shifted to the driver, and through the rear-view mirror, it was visible that his face appeared friendly, but he was carrying the lives of several people on his back!

After a while, the driver’s voice came through, "We’ll be there shortly, I’ll take you straight to my house."

"Isn’t it too late? Won’t it disturb your family?"

"No, I live alone, and there are plenty of spare rooms in my house."

After he finished speaking, he stared at the rear-view mirror, observing Qin Zhao’s expression.

However, he noticed she wasn’t on guard at all, as if she truly believed she had encountered a kind-hearted person.

A dark glint flickered in the depths of the driver’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected to be so lucky today, to have encountered such a beautiful yet foolish woman.

Did she even dare to go out alone with a child?

The child was also good-looking, fetching a good price if sold.

"We’re here."

The car drove into a pitch-dark village and stopped at a bungalow.

After getting out of the car with the toddler, Qin Zhao looked around.

She noticed that the bungalow had heavy yin energy, but it didn’t seem to affect the driver.

This was because the Blood Evil Qi on the driver was too strong.

He had killed too many people, so even ghosts were afraid of him.

The female ghost that had been following the car floated over to the driver’s side when he got out.

A flicker of hatred flashed through her hollow, despairing eyes.

The driver turned his head towards where the female ghost was, and her body suddenly shivered.

He couldn’t see her at all, but the female ghost, oblivious, instinctively felt fear.

"Woof, woof!"

The dog in the yard suddenly started barking wildly.

Dogs can see unclean things, and several ghosts were seen floating near the bungalow’s yard.

They were all female ghosts, but they looked particularly dull, like the previous one, crawling on the ground like dogs, wandering aimlessly.

Their necks were not chained, yet they held their heads high as if something was pulling them.

"Stop barking!"

The barking seemed to annoy the driver, who went over and kicked the dog aside.

The wandering souls, seeing the man approach, scrambled away in panic.

Woo, woo—

The cold wind howled, accompanied by the crying of ghosts.

The driver, named Gui Huawen, smiled broadly at Qin Zhao, "I’ll take you to your room. Do you want something to eat? You haven’t eaten yet after such a long journey, right?"

Following his lead, Qin Zhao asked, "What’s there to eat?"

"How about I cook you a bowl of noodles?"

"That would be fine, thank you."

"You’re welcome, no need to thank me for that."

Gui Huawen’s gaze lingered on her strikingly beautiful face, becoming overtly lecherous and greedy.

"But my house is a bit simple, don’t mind it."

"It’s okay, I’m not picky about where I stay."

Gui Huawen led Qin Zhao and Tengshe to a room, and upon opening the door, a faint smell of blood wafted out.

Indeed, the room was very basic, with just a wooden bed and some tables and chairs, and the bedding looked dirty.

Qin Zhao walked in calmly, but suddenly the sound of a lock snapping shut came from behind.

Turning her head, she saw the door had been shut.

Tengshe yawned with boredom. "He doesn’t plan to kill us, does he?"

"Probably not just kill us."

Qin Zhao recalled the wandering souls she had seen earlier; they had clearly suffered greatly before death.

She used a spell to gather all the wandering souls outside the room and asked them, "How did you die? Do you remember what you were before you died?"

None of the ghosts answered her; they continued to crawl around on the ground.

As Qin Zhao approached them, they immediately cowered together, thinking Qin Zhao was going to hit them.

In that moment, a hint of pity flashed across Qin Zhao’s eyes.

A soul could only end up like this if it had suffered terribly in life, causing mental disturbances, which meant even in death, they didn’t know they were dead and became mindless, isolated ghosts.

The female ghost who had followed the car slowly came over to Qin Zhao’s side.

She stared at Qin Zhao for a while; her eyes became clearer, then suddenly she started sobbing uncontrollably.

"Don’t cry, tell me what happened."

Qin Zhao’s fingertips touched the female ghost’s forehead, strengthening the power of her soul.

The female ghost’s body gradually returned to normal and she spoke to Qin Zhao anxiously, "Run! Get out of here! That beast, he’s not human, he’s killed so many people..."

"I know he’s killed people; I’m here to deal with him."

The female ghost looked stunned, then continued, "I... I was a college student here on research, staying at an old lady’s house. I was knocked unconscious when I went out at night.

When I woke up, I was in this room; he had put a chain around my neck, not only violating me, but also, also treating me like a dog, abusing and torturing me."

Thinking back to her life before, the female ghost’s expression twisted.

"He’s a monster! He’s not human!"

Suddenly, she dropped to the ground and started retching.

"He not only assaulted women but also ate human flesh. Once, he brought a woman back and ate her flesh... it was so disgusting; I was so disgusted."

That woman went mad and died by slamming her head against the wall in front of her.

And having witnessed that, she too gradually became mentally disturbed.

She had even forgotten how she had died herself.

Qin Zhao scanned the wandering souls and indeed, one woman had her legs severely mangled.

No matter how much Qin Zhao called to her, this wandering soul could not regain consciousness.

Given enough time, she would turn into a clump of yin energy and completely dissipate from this world.

At that moment, there was a noise at the door.

Gui Huawen pushed the door open, holding a bowl of noodles.

"You can eat now."

His gaze towards Qin Zhao was more excited and straightforward, as if he had figured out how to torment this beautiful woman.

The more beautiful the woman, the more thrilled he was to torture her.

"I have some snacks at home; how about I take your son there to eat?"

Gui Huawen placed the noodles on the table and reached out to pick up Tengshe.

Qin Zhao gave Tengshe a cue and said with a smile, "Sure, go ahead and take him."

The little one was picked up, but his face was full of disdain.

"Come on, uncle will take you to eat something tasty."

Gui Huawen excitedly carried the little one out, having already contacted traffickers in the village.

But just as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard Tengshe mumble, "Uncle, I think you look quite tasty."

"What did you say?"

Gui Huawen paused and looked down at the little one in his arms.

Suddenly, he found himself looking into a pair of crimson, evil eyes as a huge snake’s head appeared out of nowhere.

Hiss, hiss—

Tengshe flicked out his tongue and slapped it across his head.
