I don't believe in ghosts today

Chapter 49 Ghost Night Festival 7

"What happened?" Li Yifan asked Zheng Cheng.

Zheng Cheng's face was full of confusion. "Didn't you, Mr. Fan, call me and ask me to come here today?"

Li Yifan did not deny it. "and after?"

"Didn't I go to your office to talk about something, but I haven't seen you yet, so I fell asleep for some reason... Mr. Fan, why did I come here? It's dark and cold here, and I'm really a little scared. Fortunately Just after waking up, I heard your voices." Zheng Cheng rubbed his arms, completely unaware that he was dead, and his eyes fell on Zou Hao's hand held by Li Yifan. "Brother Hao, you two...what's going on?"

Zou Hao held back his tears and tried to stay calm. "Zheng Cheng, follow me upstairs to the security room, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Zheng Cheng nodded. "Brother Hao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been? I miss you so much."

"I miss you very much too." Zou Hao tried to raise the corners of his mouth to make his expression more natural, but his eyes were sour.Ten meters away, Zheng Cheng's body was hanging from the ceiling, shaking slightly with the circulation of air.The Zheng Cheng in front of him was still that kind, lazy, and timid young man.

Zou Hao turned his head and met Li Yifan's eyes. "Then I'll come down and find you later."

Before releasing Zou Hao's hand, Li Yifan gently pinched the back of his hand. "I'll wait for you here."

On the way to the security room, Zheng Cheng pulled Zou Hao by the corner of his clothes as usual, and babbled, "Brother Hao, a lot of things happened while you were away. Aunt Liu asked for leave to go home to take care of her newborn grandson." Brother Yan's daughter's surgery was successful. Mr. Fan and Qin Yan seem to be together..."

"Really." Zou Hao heard his voice tremble a little. "how about you?"

Zheng Cheng hesitated to speak. "Wait for me to go up and tell you slowly."

"it is good."

The door of the security room was ajar, Zou Hao pushed the door open and went in. It was pitch black inside, and the thermos cup on the table and the little sun on the ground could be vaguely seen.

"It was supposed to be a power outage on Saturday for maintenance, but I didn't expect it to be earlier than today." Zheng Cheng walked to the table and sat down, pointing to the chair opposite. "Brother Hao, sit down."

When Zou Hao sat down on the chair, Zheng Cheng scratched his head. "Brother Hao, President Yan told me before that the company intends to promote me. I am really happy to be recognized by the leader, but I have thought a lot and decided to resign today."

"What's wrong? Why did you resign?" Zou Hao asked hurriedly.

"I've been working here for several months, and I've had a great time getting along with you, Brother Yan, and everyone... But I really miss home, my parents, the old black dog at home, and the little piggy." Speaking of his hometown, Zheng Cheng's tone became lighter. "So I figured, after my last night shift for the day, I'm going to quit my job and go home."

"They must miss you too." Zou Hao couldn't hold back his tears, so he could only secretly wipe them away with his fingers when he lowered his head.Fortunately, the room was very dark, and Zheng Cheng didn't notice it.

"Great, I was afraid you would say me." Zheng Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then you should stay here and be on duty for the last day." Zou Hao patted his younger brother on the shoulder. "If something goes wrong, I won't let you go."

"Okay, brother Hao, don't worry!"

Zou Hao left the security room in a daze and returned to the parking lot.Li Yifan was standing between the two corpses, carefully examining the blood-red circle on the ground.

Zou Hao walked over with his head down, not daring to look at the faces of Zheng Cheng and Peng Lili.From the corner of the eye, he glanced at two familiar figures, tears already filling his eyes.

"There is still a spell missing here, and the drawing is not finished." Li Yifan pointed to a small blank space in the center of the circle and said to Zou Hao. "Although living people were used as sacrifices, the mana of these spells is not strong enough to open the passage to the underworld... The lack of this spell should be very important. You see."

Li Yifan pressed his five fingers on the blank space on the ground, and the dark red liquid surrounding it suddenly gave off a strange light and slowly flowed.The ground inside the circle instantly became transparent, like a piece of glass, revealing a scene from another world—it was a dark space full of filth, and countless resentful souls gathered near the circle, hitting this small piece of ground with their bodies , wanting to break through the barrier and return to the world.Their skin and eyeballs were black as if they had been scorched, and howls and growls poured out, echoing in the empty parking lot.

"It seems that the second child of the Zhu family taught you a lot." Rao Qingtong came out from the darkness and stopped under the light, with a mocking smile on his face.

Li Yifan withdrew his right hand, the ground immediately returned to its original state, and the deafening sounds of hell stopped abruptly.

"What did you do to them!!" Zou Hao clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward, but Li Yifan held him tightly.Even though two people were killed just now, Rao Qingtong remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

Li Yifan recited the mantra in a low voice, called out his finger sword, took a step forward, and protected Zou Hao behind him.

"I didn't come to do it." Rao Qingtong raised his hands, showing pale palms. "I'm here to negotiate with you."

"We have nothing to talk about." Li Yifan's face darkened.

Rao Qingtong smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Zou Hao's face. "I want to talk to him."

"I have nothing to talk to you about!" Zou Hao's attitude was equally firm.

"Oh, is that so?" Rao Qingtong stretched out a finger and lightly touched Zheng Cheng's arm, and the hanging corpse immediately swayed. "This dead little boy is your good friend, right?"

"You stop me!"

Zou Hao wanted to rush forward to stop that cold-blooded woman, but was held tightly by Li Yifan again.

"Calm down." Li Yifan whispered.

"We can make a deal. You help me draw the symbols on the ground, and I'll bring him back to life. How about it?" Rao Qingtong showed a determined smile on his face. "You won't just watch him die like this?"

Zou Hao was taken aback.He never thought that Rao Qingtong would offer such a price.Thinking of Zheng Cheng's innocent smile just now, and his dream of resigning and going home, Zou Hao felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"I can bring their souls back into their bodies and bring them back to life. Your little boyfriend doesn't have this ability." Rao Qingtong stared at Zou Hao, with a brighter smile on his face. "It's a good deal."

"Why me?" Zou Hao asked.He was just a security guard. Since Rao Qingtong could resurrect the dead, why did he turn to him for help?

"Didn't your little boyfriend tell you?" Rao Qingtong pretended to be surprised, and gently stroked his fingers on his neck. "The birthmark on your body contains a very powerful ability. This is also the reason why your little boyfriend worked so hard to keep you by his side."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, it's not like this." Li Yifan quickly turned to Zou Hao.

Zou Hao was taken aback, took two steps back, and looked at Li Yifan. "What she said... is it true? So you are so kind to me and just want to use me?"

"You know I'm not!" It was the first time Zou Hao saw Li Yifan so anxious, and his usual calm look disappeared. "Don't trust her, I didn't take this matter seriously at all..."

"In other words, what she said is true?" Zou Hao showed a bitter smile of disappointment.

"I just didn't want you to be too deeply affected by these things, so I didn't tell you..." Li Yifan explained in a panic.

Zou Hao shook his head. "It doesn't matter what you think. You really lied to me, and I won't trust you again."

"Zou Hao!"

Li Yifan reached out to grab Zou Hao's wrist, but Zou Hao shook it off forcefully, strode towards Rao Qingtong, and looked directly into the woman's cold eyes. "I just need to draw a symbol here, and you will bring Zheng Cheng back to life, right?"

Rao Qingtong smiled and nodded. "Yes. You just need to bite your finger and draw a circle in this blank space, and he can return to the world."

"Zou Hao, wake up!" Li Yifan chased after him.

"Hurry up, I'll stop him!" Rao Qingtong pulled out two hairpins from his head, and stabbed Li Yifan forcefully.Li Yifan blocked it with his finger sword, and the two fought in the dark.Li Yifan quickly lost the wind, and Rao Qingtong continued to attack, pressing harder and harder.

Zou Hao squatted down in front of the circle and bit his finger hard.There was a pain from the fingertips, but there was no bleeding, and a few wisps of white smoke gushed out from the wound.

Just as his fingers touched the ground, the concrete block drawn by the circle became transparent again, and the resentful souls in the ground became restless and scrambled to hit the ground, causing tremors on the soles of their feet.

Zou Hao looked down at those angry resentful souls.Just follow Rao Qingtong's instructions and draw a small circle, and Zheng Cheng will be able to return to him.
