Reward of 514

other leaned in, pinching a strand of my long hair and scratching my cheek: "Don't be mad. Last night in the car, he carried you back all the way. I saw his eyes... Well, how should I say it, I think...I didn't understand Aunt Wu's meaning, tilting my head with a confused expression as I waited for her to explain.

She impatiently tugged at her hair: "How can you be so stupid"

"It's because you talk nonsense! You're getting too bold, aren't you You dare call the little lady clumsy Do you even want to keep doing this line of work!" My brother said.

"Sister Wu helplessly spread her hands: "Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you, but I myself am quite confused."

She organized her thoughts and told us what she and the eldest had done these days.

Qi Ke Xin belongs to the people under state protection and surveillance, so her activities are not extensive. As long as one has connections, it is easy to track her whereabouts.

She often went in and out of government courtyards, where the families of high-ranking officials lived. These families were usually quite low-key and rarely left their homes.

But she walked around frequently, and in her conversations, she often brought up Lin Yanhuan, leading these relatives to believe that she had a romantic relationship with him. As a result, they treated her very well.

“She scammed someone out of money! And those two old men she’s with have been hanging around a derelict amusement park in the western suburbs recently. They claim they want to buy the land for a project, going there to investigate, but actually… she used to smuggle people in there… We suspect she’s using dark magic to create a terrifying place there.” Dabao whispered.

"Little Empress, something is definitely amiss with the City God here! This Imperial Capital may appear peaceful on the surface, but some things the City God pretends not to see."

I frowned and asked, “Can’t the Underworld just take off this City God’s hat directly”

“Other City God can be, but this one can’t! This is the Fuling Mingwang sealed by the emperor of the mortal realm! Do you understand what it means to draw boundaries and establish kingship To dethrone him, we need both the yin and yang realms to work together. The Yang realm must close the Daoist temple, and the Yin realm must arrest and bring him back for judgment…” Dabao frowned and said.

Sister Wu took a drag from her cigarette and said, "That's it, the Emperor hasn't set foot in the imperial capital for many years. This old man is about to ascend to heaven!"

"So, what exactly did Qi Ke Xin do at that amusement park Are you saying that your eyeliner recordings of this conversation imply she was up to no good there" I asked.

"Sister Wu nodded. "Anyway, living people are brought in, and how they come out is a mystery. In such a big city, if a few people disappear, it's like looking for a needle in the haystack. Besides, she has ghosts working under her, who can possess people and lead them astray, causing them to get lost themselves. Surveillance wouldn't show anything unusual."

Da Bao said a little timidly, “We originally wanted to go and take a look at the tiger's den, but…we’re a little scared. Maybe it’s best if the Young Madam and Master go personally to check it out We’ll be here to keep watch for you both.”

My brother nodded. “Fine, anyway, we’ve accomplished two big things now, barely managing to stand our ground in this imperial capital’s circle. It’s just the right time to deal with Ghost Princess.”

Aunty Wu drove us to that amusement park outside Beijing. My brother followed her in his car, but he actually lost sight of her!

She was driving a used car, and I always thought our old SUV was pretty beat up. I didn't expect Ms. Wu to be so carefree driving such a nearly scrapped car.

It's fine in the city, but once I leave the city, I start to let loose and ditch my brother.

"...I'm about to die of exhaustion from following you around. Let's just use the navigation system." My brother, speechless, pulled the car over and started setting up the GPS.

This suburban amusement park is way out in the sticks. This land is rumored to have been put up for auction, and once a buyer takes over, they'll dismantle all those outdated facilities.

This place has been abandoned for almost twenty years, with weeds growing taller than people. This is what's known as an exploration site.

Some young people came looking for excitement, and they really never went out again.

A desolate and abandoned place, more or less has Yin Qi gathering.

You often hear about children dying after falling from dilapidated buildings, or about accidents happening in abandoned buildings.

Such places are first isolated and attract criminals; second, they have a build-up of negative energy, making it easy to invite bad things in these areas.

This small playground has rusty iron railings that, at a glance, look like the set of a horror movie.

Around here, factories from neighboring countries were abandoned during the period of reform and opening up. The entire area is deserted and uninhabited, with the nearest residences located over a kilometer away.

We parked the car in a secluded spot and walked over. We saw that the chains on the gate had been cut with pliers and haphazardly tangled together as a disguise.

"What are you doing!" a voice suddenly shouted from behind us.

An elderly man with a limp was holding a flashlight, leaning on a cane, and wearing red armbands. He glared at us angrily.

"There's no one here! Are you guys looking for death! Several young people had accidents here! Looking for excitement It's called suicide!" The old man was very grumpy.

"We—"

"What are you doing Are you here for a tryst too Don't you have enough money to go to a hotel To meet like this in such a dangerous place What if something happens Wouldn't that be letting down your parents! Nowadays, young people are so messed up!"

"Damn it... you old geezer, did you eat dynamite What do we have to do with you You just lecture us non-stop!" My brother replied unhappily.

I whispered helplessly, "Don't fight. Let's just go and find Auntie Wu and Da Bao..."

My brother endured it, then turned around and pulled me away.

I glanced back, and the old man glared at us with fury, sending shivers down my spine.

"Bro... this old geezer is a little off..." I whispered.

"A little, when he saw us, he started cursing, could it be the gatekeeper here It's deserted here..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of cold wind swept in from the abandoned factory, sending shivers down our spines.

The rusted factory door creaked open a sliver, and Aunty Wu beckoned us over with a wave. "This way... come quickly!"

We rushed inside and asked, "How did you get here so quickly Where's the car"

"The old man hiding over here keeps wandering around. You can't go through the front door! We have to climb over this wall." A-jiao whispered.

"... Was that old man a local resident"

"Who knows! Anyway, we've seen him two or three times. He patrols around at night, just avoid him!" Aunty Wu said as she led us to a dilapidated wall.

This wall is connected to the playground and can be climbed over.

"Wait! It's so gloomy here, don't you feel it" I hurriedly grabbed her arm.

She let out a snort of laughter. "Of course I feel it, what am I afraid of some ghostly energy"

I frowned and said, “Don't be so careless. A little respect goes a long way. I wouldn't say I'm fearless of evil spirits.”

She awkwardly chuckled and muttered, "It's not like I feel more at ease with you here. You're the little empress, after all..."

My brother zipped up his backpack and got ready to be the first one to go over.

He was very agile, flipping to the other side in three seconds.

"Ugh... a stench of rot!" His voice came from behind the wall.d, “Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. Isn’t this a request for you to help”"Hmph! Where the Emperor is, do we need to meddle! You'd better stop haunting the mortal realm and get back to the Star Palac...
