The path ahead was veiled in a hazy white fog.
Visibility was very low.
The Ghost Qi began to increase gradually at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wuuu...wuuu...wuuu..."
A sound of crying echoed.
This cry was horrifying, and upon hearing it, all the hair on Mo Lin's body stood on end.
Although he often dealt with ghosts, this kind of horror was bone-deep, beyond Mo Lin's control.
Following the direction of the sound, he saw a woman crouching in the corner beside a rock.
This woman's hands covered her face, sobbing...
Perhaps she heard Mo Lin's footsteps; she loosened her hands from her face and slowly turned her head.
My goodness...
This scene could only be described as terrifying, so much so that it gave Mo Lin a shock.
Fortunately, Mo Lin often dealt with such things.
If it were an ordinary person, they would surely faint on the spot from fright.
A deathly pale face, with eye sockets devoid of eyeballs, from which two streams of blood flowed...
This sight could only be described in two words: terrifying.
Mo Lin instinctively drew out his crystal blue long sword.
The sword pointed in front of him, his eyes coldly fixed on the female ghost.
"Why are you blocking my way?" Mo Lin inquired coldly, pointing his sword at the female ghost.
The cold sword exuded a chill.
"Return my child...return my child..." the female ghost murmured.
Her voice deepened, and the hair on her shoulders stood up immediately.
Her fingernails extended gradually, reaching about half a meter in length, glaring viciously at Mo Lin.
"You took my child... I will have you pay with your lives..."
She was just about to fight Mo Lin fiercely when the next moment she froze in place.
"Master... Master..."
Knowing Mo Lin disliked ugly things, she hurried to change her appearance, restoring a normal face.
"Lord Mo Lin..."
This familiar wailing sounded like someone hugely wronged seeking to confide.
"You...who are you?"
Mo Lin was bewildered the whole time... he didn't even know who this ghost before him was.
Since the other called out his name, she must be acquainted with him.
One should know that Mo Lin was not wearing a Yin Department robe, nor a Ghost Messenger Robe now.
Besides acquaintances, it wasn't possible for a ghost to address him as 'Master.'
After all, Mo Lin now appeared as an ordinary person, showing no signs of being from the Yin Department.
"I...Yin Xiaohua..."
Yin Xiaohua anxiously explained to Mo Lin: "I... you... Yin Messenger... that's..."
"Don't panic... speak slowly," Mo Lin consoled Yin Xiaohua.
"Do you remember the matter of the Ghost Mother?" Yin Xiaohua inquired to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin was startled.
"It's you..."
Ghost Mother... Mo Lin's first Five-organ Ghost.
Mo Lin practiced the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill, and the first ghost was the Ghost Mother.
Mo Lin relied on the Ghost Mother to secure a position as Ghost Messenger in the Underworld.
The Ghost Mother was very special, and Mo Lin could only subdue her with the help of Yin Xiaohua.
In other words, Yin Xiaohua had done Mo Lin a favor.
"You knew it was me? So did you intentionally block my way?" Mo Lin asked Yin Xiaohua, puzzled.
"No..."
Yin Xiaohua looked at the surrounding environment and explained: "Perhaps my excessive resentment changed the surroundings, mistakenly blocking you."
Mo Lin was blocked by her purely by coincidence.
It was just because Mo Lin appeared at this time and place.
If it wasn't Mo Lin, someone else would have been blocked too.
Yin Xiaohua had been crying here for a long time, with such heavy resentment that it caused the current phenomenon.
"Are you resentful?" Mo Lin asked, looking down.
A ghost's resentment can be perceived.
For instance, Yin Xiaohua emitted a lot of resentment from the ghostly aura around her body.
"Yes... I am resentful... Master, you must help me." Yin Xiaohua said earnestly to Mo Lin.
"What's wrong?" Mo Lin wondered if a mere ghost like Yin Xiaohua could have grievances.
"My child was kidnapped..."
Yin Xiaohua's child was snatched by a group of strangers. She had cried here for several days.
She didn't even know where her child was taken, making it utterly impossible to find the child.
Just a while ago, she had the urge to commit murder and exact revenge.
"Master, I beg you to help me find my child."
Fearing Mo Lin would refuse, Yin Xiaohua added: "Lord Mo Lin, as long as you help me find my child, I am willing to repay you a hundredfold, I can agree to a contract with you."
Mo Lin glanced at Yin Xiaohua.
"Name: Yin Xiaohua
Level: Dangerous Level
Skill: Trapping Fog (Upon activation, traps the enemy within a fixed area.)
Her Ghost Skills were mediocre and had no outstanding features.
Mo Lin didn't consider adding her to the Ghost Suppression Book.
However, she could be kept as a good helper.
"I can agree to help you find your child, but you must agree to a subservience contract with me," Mo Lin proposed.
"Okay... as long as you help me find my child, I am willing to disperse even my soul."
For Yin Xiaohua, her child was everything, and she could even sacrifice herself for the child.
"Come with me," Mo Lin said slowly to Yin Xiaohua.
"Alright."
Yin Xiaohua nodded, then transformed into a cloud of mist, attaching herself to the crystal blue sword in Mo Lin's hand.
As Yin Xiaohua vanished, the dense fog around them dispersed, revealing the road that was meant to be there.
Mo Lin turned on his phone and sent a message to the chat group.
"Who has good intel? I need some information about ghosts."
Sha Jian: "About ghosts? Look for Feng Mingyu."
Lin Xi: "Feng Mingyu has extensive connections in Yun Chuan; her info is accurate, you can't go wrong consulting her."
Feng Mingyu: "Do you want to capture ghosts? Or are you planning to buy a ghost? Add me as a friend for a private chat."
