C5 There's no point talking to him why don't you talk to me

Xu Li didn't know how to sleep well this time, but the old man had been making a lot of noise since midnight. The roof of the mansion was almost torn off, so naturally, the two men sleeping downstairs wouldn't sleep so well.

Ji Li threw a live rabbit into the old man's bedroom in the dark. Before the door closed, he was suddenly grabbed by something behind the door. Then, the door opened and a light flashed. The rabbit that was alive and kicking just now suddenly flew out.

The red flesh had already been torn from the middle and was still warm. It made Ji Li's face bleed profusely.

He was standing in the corridor, but before he could run back, he was suddenly pulled back by a strong force. He could not help but float back into the room.

Inside the room, Old Man Guo squatted on the bed like a monkey, his cheeks were sunken from his thin body and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth. He watched the season gift with excitement, which was getting weaker and weaker.

The collar of his shirt was pulled in the opposite direction. The legs that were originally floating in the air suddenly fell to the ground, causing his ankles to go numb. He stomped on the ground and let out a muffled sound.

"There's no point in chatting with him. Why don't you try chatting with me instead?"

Xu Li's voice suddenly appeared, pulling Ji Li's hand and pushing him outwards.

"Do you have any more cigarettes?"

She turned around and faced Ji Li as she asked this question.

At first, he didn't react. But when he did, he hurriedly loaded the pack of cigarettes and the lighter onto the deck. Then, the door was shut again.

Old Man Guo retreated to the corner like a cat when he saw Xu Li, threatening him while baring his teeth.

He thought to himself as he lit a cigarette in the dark room. If these three days really came and went, then it would be too late. The person in charge had lost his life at her hands, and it would be even more troublesome than killing the ghosts on his body. Not to mention not being able to get the money, she was most afraid of embarrassing herself by not getting the benefits.

"Speak, what do you want to say?"

Xu Li really did act like he was chatting. When he saw the chair beside him, he crossed his legs and sat down on it, looking indifferently at Old Man Guo while holding the cigarette.

Old Man Guo didn't say anything at first, but shrank back into a corner in fear, disappearing into the darkness and occasionally making those grimacing sounds in the direction of Xu Li.

After a long time, when Xu Li felt that his patience had run out, he stood up and reached for his small box.

"Don't you want to tell me? That's just right. You can try my fourth needle. This Ghost Heart Needle is much more painful than the previous three needles. No, I should say, you don't even have the ability to scatter your soul. "

Xu Li's tone was light, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face. That intimidating power that came from within made the Guo family's old man shudder, and before she finished introducing him, he threw himself onto the bed, and a woman's trembling voice sounded.

"You … Lord, you … will you really let me go? "

"Nope."

Xu Li's gaze turned cold. The purpose of her wandering about was to nurture needles, out of the thirteen needles in the Ghost Gate, the first five needles. Each needle had to have ten Ghost Lives to support them, and once it was filled with ten needles, it would be possible to nurture the next one, each level's needle power would increase, doubling the last five needles, twenty, forty, eighty, one hundred and six … No one knew how to raise the last three needles, because her father hadn't taught her yet, and her father's own set of needles had only reached the seventh.

The female ghost in front of him was the last ghost life of the third needle. Once it was gathered up, he would be able to receive the fourth needle.

"However, think about what unfulfilled wish you have, I might help you."

Old Man Guo was stunned for a while in the darkness, then slowly spoke after a long while.

"I want to see Ji Hedong!"

Xu Li's gaze flickered. This meant that the female ghost had agreed. If her heart was filled with desire, she would naturally scram.

In reality, she hadn't even practiced the Ghost Heart Needle and it was already scary just by saying it. She didn't expect that she would actually deceive him.

"Alright."

Xu Li's response was crisp and decisive. He didn't care who Ji Hedong was. Seeing that the female ghost on Old Man Guo's body didn't seem to want to make a move, he took the box and walked out leisurely.

Guo Jia and Ji Li were still standing at the corridor entrance. Seeing Xu Li come out safe and sound, they prepared to go back to sleep.

"Wait."

Xu Li called out to him, stopping him in his tracks. He walked to the staircase and said to Guo Jia.

"One million."

Guo Jia blanked out for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

Xu Li didn't expect this to be a little tricky, but after seeing the financial situation of the family, he suddenly felt that five hundred thousand was a bit of a loss, so he directly doubled the price and called for a million.

"Why did the price increase?"

Ji Li frowned.

Xu Li shot him a glance. At the same time, he was also helping to drive out ghosts with their final wishes. This debt was naturally to be paid to them.

Guo Jia, on the other hand, didn't care. He nodded his head first. As long as his grandpa was alright, a million yuan was equivalent to a car's worth of money. It didn't matter to him at all.

"Sure, call Ji Hedong over tomorrow."

Hearing this name, the two men in front of him were startled. They looked at each other in dismay, then they hurriedly asked.

"Why do you want to see my family's old man?"

Xu Li pulled the box and walked back as he spoke.

"Who knows? "Just tell your family's old man that his life is in his hands. Whether he can come tomorrow or not, he can decide for himself."

"Tomorrow? "My family's old man is still abroad on vacation, it's impossible …"

Ji Li called out and Xu Li shrugged. The sound of his footsteps had already disappeared into the guest room.

Old Man Guo did not cause any more trouble after midnight. A monstrous surge seemed to be hidden beneath the eerie silence.

Guo Jia and Ji Li were having a hard time finding peace. They had a feeling that some secret was about to be exposed by this slender girl with a cold and pretty face.

Xu Li slept soundly. All night long, he did not even dream. He slept until the third rod in the sky.

"Feeding?"

She got up, washed, and went downstairs to ask Guo Jia if she was in during the season.

Xu Li had just woken up not long ago, and the fierceness from last night had faded a little, but the small box still held his hand.

The snow outside had long since stopped, and the cold white light of the day reflected back into the room through the thick snow.

Ji Li nodded as he pursed his lips. He wanted to endure but was unable to, so he quickly asked.

"Can you tell me why my old man is following the higher-ups …" Does he have anything to do with it? "

Xu Li saw that there was a cigarette on the table, so he impolitely lit one. Within the smoke, her face was a little blurry and dreamy, but her voice was as cold as ever.

"Ji Li, do you believe in your fate?"

Before Ji Li could reply, Xu Li suddenly smiled, helpless and full of self-mockery.

"I don't believe it, but I do trust you."
