Zuo Si was lost in thought when the pregnant woman in red suddenly turned around, her icy gaze fixed on him.
“Is she going to turn hostile?”
He jumped in surprise, then heard Gu Yiyi’s exclamation.
“Watch out!”
Zuo Si was startled and quickly retreated, feeling a chill creeping up from behind.
Before he could turn around, the pregnant woman in red lashed out with her ghostly claws, and he was immediately swept away by a surge of yin energy and thrown aside.
He lay on the ground, watching Ye Yingjie, who was struggling like a madman, in the pregnant woman’s grasp.
“Why has Ye Yingjie suddenly gone mad? And why is his previously scattered soul rapidly coalescing?!”
Zuo Si couldn’t understand, and he didn’t have time to think about it!
The pregnant woman’s hair had already formed a strange arc at the back of her head, each strand like a black steel wire, ready to pierce Ye Yingjie at any moment!
“No!” How could Zuo Si bear to see Ye Yingjie die like this? He looked at Gu Yiyi and shouted, “Yiyi, quickly stop her!”
“Sister! Sister, don’t kill him!”
Gu Yiyi’s words had an effect. The pregnant woman in red’s hair didn’t pierce Ye Yingjie, but instead bound him tightly, rendering him completely immobile!
“What’s going on?”
Zuo Si was confused. Why had Ye Yingjie suddenly gone mad? And why had his soul suddenly returned?
Just as he was at a loss, he saw Gu Yiyi slowly approaching Ye Yingjie.
“Yiyi, what are you doing?!”
“I…I don’t know either.” Gu Yiyi was somewhat bewildered. “I just saw he seemed to be in a lot of pain, so I wanted to help him.”
“You have a way? Do you know what happened?”
“I…I don’t know, but I just want to help him.”
Gu Yiyi continued to approach.
With the pregnant woman in red there, Zuo Si wasn’t worried about her safety.
At this point, he could only let her try.
After all, Gu Yiyi’s special ability was ‘purification’.
Moreover, the strength of this special ability was ‘relatively strong’.
This was something Zuo Si had never seen before among all the ghosts and monsters.
He wondered if it would be effective against the crazed Ye Yingjie.
Gu Yiyi slowly extended her right hand, and her right hand was now emitting soft white light?
Zuo Si was instantly stunned. In his mind, ghosts and light were completely different things.
A ghost’s body could actually emit light?
It was like seeing an airplane swimming in water.
Ye Yingjie struggled incessantly, and black veins even appeared on his head, both disgusting and terrifying.
When the white light from Gu Yiyi’s hand touched him, he gradually calmed down.
His expression was no longer ferocious, and even the murderous aura around him subsided somewhat.
Zuo Si breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Gu Yiyi’s small face with some shame.
He had thought Gu Yiyi was the most useless person tonight, but he hadn’t expected her to be so helpful time and time again. The pregnant woman in red intervened entirely out of respect for Gu Yiyi; that much was undeniable.
If it weren’t for her intervention tonight, their entire side would likely have been wiped out at the school.
While Ye Yingjie had regained his composure, Gu Yiyi appeared to be struggling, the white light she controlled flickering.
A black thread could be seen struggling within the white light.
Streams of malevolent black mist slowly seeped from this thread, gradually being purified by the white light.
Although the black thread struggled to return to Ye Yingjie’s body, Gu Yiyi painstakingly pulled it out bit by bit.
After a while, a five-centimeter-long, hair-thin black thread was successfully extracted.
It writhed and struggled in Gu Yiyi’s hand, seemingly in great pain.
Ye Yingjie had returned to normal, even the malevolent aura emanating from him had diminished considerably.
He looked at Gu Yiyi with gratitude, his eyes gleaming with a unique light. That was something he didn’t have before.
The description of her special ability said that Gu Yiyi could gradually purify everything. At first, Zuo Si was somewhat skeptical, but now he completely believed it.
Even he felt a sense of healing every time he saw Gu Yiyi.
Not to mention these ghosts; they were of the same kind, so this feeling must be even stronger.
All the ghostly staff in the haunted house were very kind to Gu Yiyi.
Zuo Si even suspected that the pregnant woman in red was also attracted by Gu Yiyi’s qualities, which was why she kept following him.
“I’ve really struck gold! I was originally planning to keep her as a mascot… but I never expected her special ability to be so incredible.” Zuo Si thought, “It’s hard to find another ghost like Yiyi. In this filthy world, it’s so incredibly rare for such a pure and kind girl to appear.”
Just as he was reminiscing, thinking everything had settled down, another unexpected event occurred.
The black thread, controlled by Gu Yiyi, twisted more and more violently, while the white light in her hand grew weaker and weaker.
It was showing signs of slipping out of control.
Zuo Si had initially thought the other ghosts could help, but he noticed they all looked at the black thread with apprehension.
“What exactly is this thing?”
Zuo Si frowned, completely clueless. His fear level was completely depleted; he couldn’t boost Gu Yiyi’s power.
She had to rely on herself.
Suddenly!
The black thread abruptly stood up, piercing directly into Gu Yiyi’s palm.
It wriggled and burrowed deeper.
Zuo Si was terrified and quickly asked, “Yiyi! Can I help?!”
He took two steps forward.
“Don’t come any closer!” Gu Yiyi shouted sharply; this was the first time Zuo Si had ever heard her speak so loudly.
“Although I don’t know what this is, I have a gut feeling that no one but me can touch it; it won’t do any good.”
Gu Yiyi’s expression grew increasingly pained; the black line had already penetrated halfway into her hand.
If this isn’t dealt with quickly, she might end up like Ye Yingjie!
Just as everyone was at a loss!
The black line completely disappeared into Gu Yiyi’s palm, invading her soul.
The whole world fell silent instantly!
A night breeze blew by, and Zuo Si’s heart leaped into his throat!
Staring blankly at Gu Yiyi’s transformation, if she really became like Ye Yingjie, then no one could help her.
“Yiyi…are you alright?”
Zuo Si asked tremulously.
But Gu Yiyi didn’t answer immediately; her expression was very strange, her eyes constantly glancing left and right.
After a long while, she finally raised her head, saying incredulously,
“I…I seem to be alright…?”
Then, a black thread fell from her nose.
Floating and scattering, though still completely black, it no longer exuded any evil aura.
“This…this…I feel like I can absorb it…?”
Gu Yiyi stared in astonishment at the black thread in her hand. Not only did she feel she could absorb it, but the other ghosts also sensed it.
They were now staring wide-eyed at the black thread in Gu Yiyi’s hand.
Their thirst was like that of a person who hadn’t eaten for over ten days seeing a large pork knuckle.
If it were anyone else holding this black thread, they would probably have already snatched it away.
