The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 56 - 53 The Ghost with Amnesia

Chapter 56: Chapter 53 The Ghost with Amnesia

Upon arriving at the office building, Qin Zhao observed the exterior for a while.

There was indeed yin energy inside, mainly concentrated on the eighth floor.

The two entered the elevator, and Qin Zhao said, "Let’s go directly to the eighth floor."

The look in Qin Yu’s eyes was one of shock.

He hadn’t told Qin Zhao where the incident occurred; how did she know?

Originally, he had the idea of just giving it a try, but now he truly believed that Qin Zhao had the ability.

"The two employees who fainted, they both had incidents on the eighth floor. They’re still in the hospital in a coma, and the doctors don’t know why.

Today, the secretary came to me wanting to transfer them to the best Imperial Capital First District Hospital."

Qin Zhao pondered for a moment, "If it were an evil spirit that harms people, there would be Blood Evil Qi present, but I don’t sense Blood Evil Qi.

Those two employees probably weren’t attacked; it might be due to yin energy entering their bodies. However, I need to see the specifics to be sure."

"Will you go to the hospital to see them later?"

"Sure."

While chatting, the elevator arrived at the eighth floor. As soon as it opened, it was noticeably colder than on the first floor.

The workstations on the eighth floor were all empty. After the incidents resulted in hospitalizations, others were too frightened to work on that floor; some even resigned, causing Qin Yu to have the employees move to other floors.

Qin Zhao walked around the eighth floor, only feeling the heavy yin energy there. There was definitely a ghost present, but she couldn’t find where it was hiding.

"How is it? What’s the problem?"

Qin Yu followed behind Qin Zhao, feeling a chill in his heart and his feet turning cold.

"Something’s here, but I haven’t found it."

Qin Zhao took out a vermilion pen and a yellow talisman she carried in her bag, "I’ll draw a talisman to lure it out."

Qin Yu paused before asking, "Is it really a haunting?"

He had seen the surveillance footage, where the two startled employees looked as if they had seen something terrifying and then fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

He had originally thought they had been poisoned by something, but people passing by said that before they fainted, they kept shouting about seeing a ghost.

"With such heavy yin energy, what else could it be if not a ghost?"

Qin Zhao quickly drew the talisman. There was a door next to them leading to the stairwell, and she casually attached the talisman to it, then whispered a spell.

Bang, bang, bang.

A bizarre knocking sound came from behind the door.

"Who’s there?"

Startled, Qin Yu looked at the door.

But no one answered him, and he turned to Qin Zhao with a look that asked, "Is it that thing?"

Qin Zhao nodded and motioned for him to step aside.

Qin Yu, a grown man with a relatively strong courage, never expected to witness a paranormal event in his life.

His face remained composed, but his steps quickened as he eagerly took cover behind his young niece.

"Will you not show yourself?!"

Qin Zhao let out a cold scoff, and it seemed as if a breeze lifted the talisman on the door.

The talisman floated up, and gradually, in front of them materialized a ghost wearing a firefighter’s uniform.

The uniform had tears and burn marks, and although the ghost didn’t seem vicious, the talisman stuck on his forehead restricted his movements.

Seeing that someone could summon him, he danced with excitement.

"Can you see me? Can you actually see me?"

Qin Yu peeked out from behind his niece, Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, is this the ghost causing trouble here?"

"I haven’t caused trouble!" the ghost objected, "I’ve never harmed anyone!"

"You’ve caused two of my employees to be hospitalized; how can you say you haven’t harmed anyone? Zhaozhao, hurry up and get rid of him, otherwise this whole floor will go to waste!"

"I’ve already said I haven’t harmed anyone! You can’t just bully ghosts!"

The Ghost tugged at the clothes on its body, "Do you know what this is? Firefighter gear! I used to be a firefighter, I am an educated ghost, I don’t harm people randomly!"

Qin Zhao stared at it for a while and asked, "What’s your name? How did you die?"

A look of confusion spread across the Ghost’s face.

"I don’t know."

It frowned, trying hard to remember.

"It seems like... Xiao Shi? Someone used to call me that, as for how I died, I can’t recall."

"Are you unable to leave this place?"

"Yes, yes!"

It nodded enthusiastically, like a pecking chicken, looking excitedly at Qin Zhao, "How did you know I can’t leave?"

"A Ghost trapped in one place is usually due to an obsession. You can’t leave here, and you can’t remember how you died, which could be related to the cause of your death."

Qin Zhao turned his head to Qin Yu, "He really hasn’t harmed anyone, so I can’t just get rid of him rashly."

"Then, is there a way to send him off?"

"It’s possible to send him to reincarnation, but we need to find the reason why he can’t leave this place. Otherwise, the Netherworld Envoy won’t come to take him to the underworld."

Qin Zhao asked the firefighter Ghost named Xiao Shi, "Looking at your clothes, you must have died while fighting a fire, can you think of any memorable incidents?"

Xiao Shi tried hard to remember but still couldn’t recall anything.

"No memorable incidents, it’s just a bit boring here, I wanted to go out and wander around."

This building was being reconstructed, and he had been there since then.

But at the time, his Soul Power was weak, and he hadn’t thought about harming people, so nobody noticed him.

"Do you remember your birth date and time?"

If he remembered his birth date and time, she could have helped him with a divination.

"I don’t remember."

Still can’t remember?

Qin Zhao furrowed his brows and thought, then continued to ask, "Why did you attack those two employees?"

"I never attacked any employees here."

"Bullshit! They said they saw a ghost, if not you then who?!"

Qin Yu, thinking about the trouble this incident caused, couldn’t help but want to kick the ghost.

If the media got hold of this, it would have a very negative impact on the company. Moreover, those two employees were still unconscious, and he would have to compensate their families a large sum of money!

"Let’s do this, I’ll go check on those two employees."

"Alright, see if you can save them."

Qin Zhao and Qin Yu walked together towards the elevator. Once they left the eighth floor, Xiao Shi couldn’t help but say excitedly, "I can leave there if I follow you!"

Excited about being able to leave, he wanted to drift farther away, but he hadn’t gone far before he was pulled by a strange force to Qin Zhao’s side.

Qin Zhao held an umbrella and said to him, "Stay close to me, or the sunlight will roast you to death."

Sunlight shone on Xiao Shi, causing a burning sensation, and his face immediately showed an expression of pain as images of a great fire flickered through his mind.

"I... I think I remember something."

In an instant, both Qin Zhao and Qin Yu looked at him.

"I was burned to death."

"..."

Isn’t that obvious? Qin Yu gave him a big eye-roll, completely devoid of his CEO demeanour.

Xiao Shi huddled under the umbrella, muttering to himself, "I could have left, I should have been able to leave."

Qin Zhao looked at him with a meaningful glance, "It seems there is an injustice involved."
