"F*ck you, you're already 70 or 80 years old, why do you still want to marry someone!"
Xu Ning was so anxious that he started cursing. He pushed the door with both hands, but he was still unable to close it.
He then realized that there was no hope of him closing the door.
Xu Ning was flustered and exasperated. He scolded angrily, "F*ck you, get out of here. Don't talk, if you talk, I'll beat you to death!"
Old Lady Wu stood at the door expressionlessly. She sounded a little angry. "You lied to me. I see that you're hiding something in your arms!"
"You lied to me!"
The old woman's expression was twisted. She let out an unpleasant and ear-piercing scream.
"Those who lied to me deserve to die!"
Old Lady Wu raised her scissors and thrusted them toward Xu Ning's chest.
Although she looked like an old woman who was on the verge of death, the velocity which she used to thrust the scissors at him were fast and fierce. The edge of the scissors shone with a cold light.
Xu Ning wanted to escape.
A wave of black smoke came up from under his feet, causing Xu Ning to be unable to move. He was about to die on the spot.
On the wall of the living room behind Xu Ning, the obscene goatskin mural was faintly glowing with a black light. Following that, wisps of strange black fog seeped out. The scissors were even closer to his heart!
Xu Ning could feel the cold sensation when his skin touched the tip of the knife. Goosebumps instantly covered his entire body.
Just as Xu Ning was about to die, a scarlet eye appeared in the black fog!
The eye turned and finally fixed its gaze on Old Lady Wu.
Then, the black fog erupted and directly enveloped Old Lady Wu. In an instant, a sharp and ear-piercing scream sounded from within!
...
After an unknown amount of time, the strange black fog gradually dispersed and returned to the mural. Old Lady Wu's figure still disappeared, leaving behind the large scissors that were still dripping blood. [Ding: Level two evil spirit has been detected. It has been automatically absorbed!]
[Congratulations on obtaining strengthening points: 3]
Xu Ning did not have time to think about what had happened before a cold notification sounded in his mind, causing him, who had yet to recover from his shock, to tremble in fear.
"Who is it!?"
"Who is pretending to be a ghost? Those who are not afraid of death, come out!"
Xu Ning's entire body was covered in cold sweat. He huddled in a corner in panic, holding a rolling pin and gesturing around.
However, there was no more movement in the room.
"Could it be..." Xu Ning looked at his right hand that was holding the rolling pin. There was an exquisite white jade thumb ring on it.
It was worth mentioning that Xu Ning had had this thumb ring before he came to this world.
After he had transmigrated to this world where the supernatural existed, the thumb ring remained!
When his gaze landed on the thumb ring, a message naturally appeared in his eyes.
[Name: Xu Ning]
[Race: Normal human]
[Strength: 7 (Peak Mortal 10)]
[Agility: 8 (Peak Mortal 10)]
[Thinking: 8 (Peak Mortal 10)]
[Yang Qi: 169 (Peak Mortal 100)]
[Remaining strengthening points: 2]
"These are my attribute?"
"What are strengthening points?"
Before she could figure out what was going on, more questions flooded her mind.
"Whatever, I'll drink a bottle of water to calm my nerves!"
Xu Ning casually took out a can of fat otaku happy water from the fridge.
[Ding: One can of cola detected. 1 strengthening point consumed. One can of solar water obtained.]
[Solar water: Replenishes Yang Qi and greatly improves physical strength.]
Xu Ning understood!
That strengthening point was used for this!
Just as he was being pestered by that Old Lady Wu, Xu Ning felt a little dizzy. It was definitely a sign of insufficient Yang Qi.
"My Yang Qi remaining is 169, and my peak value is 200. It's twice that of an ordinary person. Before I was stabbed by the scissors, I lost 31 points!"
No wonder ordinary people were so afraid of evil.
If his Yang Qi drained to zero, he would die, right?
"Let's try to use a point to see what happens." Just as Xu Ning was about to use the strengthening point, two footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.
From the steady and powerful rhythm of the footsteps, it did not seem like anything strange.
Xu Ning walked forward and kicked the large bloody scissors under the sofa before anyone came.
"Who is it? Could it be another malicious spirit?" Xu Ning looked at the corridor entrance.
There had been an endless stream of supernatural incidents over the past month.
Saying that he had encountered a ghost?
Rashly asking others for help would only result in him being isolated.
The authorities had no way to deal with these evil spirits at the moment.
If there was a way to stop them, there would not be so many supernatural murders.
"The best way now is not to have too much contact with the outside world!"
Xu Ning was about to close the door.
The owner of the footsteps had already walked to the entrance of the corridor.
"Brother, please wait a moment. We want to ask you something. This is my official ID. We are from the 747 Supernatural Investigation Bureau. I am the deputy team leader, Zhao Dezhu."
The other skinny girl with a ponytail nodded in agreement. "I am Liu Yue."
"Oh, oh." Xu Ning invited the two of them into the house without batting an eyelid. He was secretly on guard. Who knew if the two of them had been possessed by evil spirits?
"May I know your name, brother?"
Zhao Dezhu asked as he walked into the living room to take a look. When he saw the mural, his gaze involuntarily paused for a moment.
When he saw the contents of the mural clearly, he could not help but click his tongue in wonder. He gave Xu Ning a thumbs up. "Brother, awesome!"
Liu Yue followed his gaze and immediately blushed. She cursed in her heart that he was a pervert and turned her head away, not daring to look at the goatskin mural again.
Compared to her disgust, Zhao Dezhu looked at it with great interest and kept praising it in his heart.
This brother was really something!
Who would hang such a lewd mural in their living room!?
"Oh, I almost forgot about the main business."
Zhao Dezhu snapped out of his daze from the mural and took out a picture and handed it to Xu Ning.
"It's very important if you've seen a similar design before!"
Xu Ning frowned. "Isn't this the wedding dress worn by ancient women during their ghost weddings? The coat is blood red, and the collar is dotted with red and white spots."
Zhao Dezhu also nodded with a solemn expression.
"A murder just happened. It's very important to find this wedding dress. If the residents in Copper Seal Residential Area see something like this, remember to contact us immediately!"
Xu Ning thought he was talking about Old Lady Wu and nodded nonchalantly.
"Alright, if you see anything suspicious, I'll definitely contact you two!"
Zhao Dezhu and Liu Yue left their contact numbers and got up to leave.
However, when they left, Zhao Dezhu took a few more glances at the mural and gave Xu Ning a thumbs up in admiration. "Brother, you're really awesome."
Liu Yue pushed him angrily. Only then did Zhao Dezhu reluctantly leave.
"Hmm, what's that sound?"
Xu Ning looked out of the window.
Not long after the two of them left, a commotion could be heard from outside the window.
Usually, at this time, it was the time when those plaza dancing aunties were dominating the scene. Now that there was a murder, how could they continue to play and dance?
He ran to the window in two steps.
It was at the entrance of the nearby unit 3.
The ambulance and police car were flashing lights.
A large group of people were gathered on both sides of the road. It seemed that they were all residents of Copper Seal Residential Area.
"Didn't Old Lady Wu stab a passing girl to death? Why would the body be carried out from unit 3?"
Xu Ning was extremely confused.
Not long after, the medical staff carrying the body walked to a place where Xu Ning could see clearly.
Under the flickering light, Xu Ning saw something!
"It's that blood-red wedding dress!"
Normally, the cloth used to cover the corpse should be a white linen cloth, but at this moment, in Xu Ning's eyes…
The cloth covering the corpse on the stretcher was not a white linen cloth, it was clearly the blood-red wedding dress that Zhao Dezhu had just shown him!
There were so many onlookers, but did they not notice that something was wrong?
"Hey!"
Xu Ning shouted at the crowd anxiously.
"Can't you see the wedding dress?!"
However, no matter how much Xu Ning shouted, the crowd seemed to not hear his voice.
They were only twenty to thirty meters apart.
It should not be?
Suddenly, he thought of something!
Xu Ning stepped back from the window. His forehead and back were covered in cold sweat!
