I was shaken when I heard the voice. When I had closed my eyes, I had been chanting the Ghost Seeking Spell.
This spell could help me locate the ghosts around me without opening my Heavenly Eye.
However, I didn't find anything strange until I heard the voice!
I opened my eyes and saw a little girl standing in front of me. She had long hair and a round face. She wasn't wearing any clothes and was wrapped in a tattered bedsheet.
Two very large eyes looked at me, seemingly full of curiosity.
She looked like a normal little girl. However, if I looked closely, I would see a tinge of cyan under her fair skin. She didn't cast a shadow under the light.
Looking at the innocent little girl in front of me, my heart felt numb.
The Death Scripture said that as long as I chanted the Ghost Seeking Spell, all ghosts within one zhang of me wouldn't be able to hide. Who would have thought that I would encounter an accident the first time I used it?
In my memory, I had seen the soul of my middle school classmate, Guo Mingming, and I had seen Chief Liu's ancestor appear outside the ancestral grave. However, their souls were very vague, not as solid as this little girl in front of me.
The feeling this little girl gave me was similar to the feeling I had when I saw the female corpse. It was as if her real body was standing in front of me.
However, I knew that when I had walked into this room, there had been nothing there.
I squeezed the peach wood branch in my hand. I didn't dare to be careless because of the little girl's innocent appearance.
Back then, the female corpse also looked very graceful and alluring, but as soon as she made a move, it was a killing move.
After a while, the little girl got bored. She made a face at me, pushed the door open, and skipped out of the room.
I exhaled in relief. Then, I remembered that the people from the Yi Study Club were still outside. My heart tightened and I hurried to follow her.
As soon as I reached the door, I bumped into Dai Nanzhou. When he saw me, he exhaled in relief. "What were you doing in there? Why did I hear you talking to someone?
Don't scare me. "
I was afraid that something might happen, so I didn't have time to talk to him. I pushed him away and looked around. The students from the Yi Study Club were standing not far from me. They looked at me curiously, but they didn't seem to see the little girl.
I looked around and saw the little girl standing in front of the toilet. Her big eyes blinked as she peeked inside. When she saw me, she made a face at me then turned around and walked out of the toilet.
I didn't have the confidence to subdue this strange baby girl, and I didn't dare to provoke her. I didn't tell the others, but I told them that I wanted to go back to the dormitory to look for clues.
Then, I asked for the key and hurried out of the toilet.
When I got out, I saw the little girl standing in front of Xu Ziyu's dormitory. She was pushing the door with both hands, and her feet were kicking the ground. Her body was bent at an angle.
However, Xu's dormitory was still locked, and she couldn't push it.
Moreover, ghosts and spirits had illusory bodies, and most of them didn't have any energy. Although this little girl was different, she was still one of them.
After I followed her, she gave up on pushing the door open, turned around and said to me with a pout: "Da Gege, can you help me open the door?"
Seeing that the little girl didn't look fake, I braced myself and nodded at her. Then, I asked her, "What do you want to do inside?"
The corners of the girl's mouth curled up. "I'm going to find my mommy."
I was startled and thought of Xu Ziyu. However, the little girl in front of me looked around five or six years old. She couldn't be Xu Ziyu's child.
I asked, "Who's your mommy?"
The little girl said, "Mommy is my mommy.
Big Brother, help me open the door. I haven't seen my mommy for a long time. "
Then, she grabbed my arm and hung on it like a spoiled child, swaying from side to side.
Her body was very light, and she hung on my arm as if she was weightless.
Since there was no one in the dormitory, I wasn't worried that something would happen to her. I opened the door with the key and walked in with the little girl.
After entering the room, the little girl excitedly ran toward Xu Ziyu's bed. She stopped when she reached the bed and pouted, sobbing, "Mommy's not here anymore."
I was even more puzzled. I pointed at Xu Ziyu's bed and asked the little girl, "Did mommy sleep here before?"
"Yeah."
The little girl rubbed her eyes and sounded wronged. "Yesterday, I asked mommy to play with me, but today, mommy left. She doesn't want me anymore … Sob …"
Then, she pouted and cried again.
However, ghosts didn't have tears. Although she cried for a long time, she didn't shed any tears.
I was even more puzzled. Is Xu Ziyu really this little girl's mother?
But Xu Ziyu is only twenty years old. Five or six years ago, she was only fourteen or fifteen. How could she have a daughter?
I couldn't figure it out no matter how I thought about it. But looking at her sad face, I felt sad too.
I thought for a while and said, "Don't cry. I'll take you to find your mommy, okay?"
"Really, Big Brother?"
After hearing my words, she stopped crying and happily hugged my arm again. She rubbed her head against my body and acted like a spoiled child.
Although this little girl had scared Xu Ziyu, she hadn't really hurt her. If she saw Xu Ziyu again, she wouldn't be in trouble.
With that thought in mind, I took the little girl to Xu Ziyu's dormitory.
When we arrived, the girls in the dormitory were still awake. I guessed they were waiting for us.
Only Xu Ziyu was lying on the bed. She seemed to be asleep.
Seeing Xu Ziyu, the little girl cheered and ran over. She lay on Xu Ziyu's bed and whispered something into her ear.
The other people in the dormitory couldn't see the little girl, so they could only see me. "How are you doing? Did you find anything?"
I smiled and shook my head. "We're just here to have fun. What can we find?"
After chatting for a while, I saw Xu Ziyu suddenly sit up on the bed. Her eyes were blank as she got off the bed. Then, she took out a washbasin from under the table. She held it in her hand and slowly walked out.
The girls who were chatting with me all shut their mouths. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Xu Ziyu. They were all dumbfounded.
They could only see Xu Ziyu walking out alone, as if she was sleepwalking. Only I could see that the little girl was pulling on Xu Ziyu's clothes, leading the way in front of her, and she was chattering about something.
It wasn't until Xu Ziyu brushed past us and reached the door that the girls in the dorm reacted.
Dai Nanzhou's girlfriend's face was pale. She asked me with lingering fear, "Little Zhou, what should we do now?
I'm afraid something might happen to Ziyu … Should we follow her? "
I shook my head. "You guys stay in the dormitory and don't move. I'll follow her."
I followed Xu Ziyu out of the dormitory. The little girl led her to the toilet. When we reached the door, we bumped into Yi Xueshe's classmates. President Huang was walking at the front. As soon as he walked out of the toilet, he saw Xu Ziyu, who was holding a washbasin.
President Huang's face paled and he fell to the ground.
The others were also scared, and their faces were pale.
In the end, Dai Nanzhou walked up and patted Xu Ziyu's shoulder.
Xu Ziyu's body shook, and the dazed expression on her face disappeared. The washbasin in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, and her face was pale.
Seeing that she had woken up, a group of people quickly surrounded her and asked her what happened.
Xu Ziyu briefly explained the situation. It was the same as yesterday. She was brought here by a little girl.
Then, President Huang anxiously asked her where the little girl was.
Xu Ziyu pointed at the toilet door and said, "She's there."
The little girl was indeed standing at the toilet door, looking at Xu Ziyu with a wronged expression.
However, the others couldn't see it at all. They could only look at each other and chat for a while. Then, they sent Xu Ziyu back to the dormitory.
After a noisy night, we didn't find anything. After persuading Xu Ziyu to sleep, I sneaked into the toilet again. At this time, the little girl was running back and forth in boredom. When she saw me come in, she stopped and asked me in disappointment, "Da Gege, why do you think mommy doesn't want to play with me?"
I patted her hair and smiled. "Mommy isn't feeling well these few days. Don't go find her. Mommy will come and play with you in a few days."
"Really?" She looked at me in surprise.
I nodded, and the little girl became happy. She smiled and said that she would go find her mommy in a few days. Then, she said goodbye to me, turned around, and skipped back to the toilet in the innermost room. Then, she disappeared.
Three days later, the results of the police's blood investigation came out. The blood on Xu Ziyu's bed was the blood of a senior who studied in our school seven years ago. This senior had committed suicide in school seven years ago.
Rumor had it that this senior had accidentally gotten pregnant. After using drugs to perform an abortion, she couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide.
After hearing this news, I immediately thought of the mother that the little girl had mentioned.
If this senior was the little girl's mother, then everything could be explained. But why did she say that Xu Ziyu was her mother?
I couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until Dai Nanzhou came over and told me that Xu Ziyu was pregnant that I finally understood.
The senior from seven years ago must have had a miscarriage in that toilet.
The dead child's soul was left in the toilet, and it had been desperately looking for its mother.
Until seven years later, when she met Xu Ziyu.
The only memory the little girl had of her mother was probably how her mother looked when she was pregnant. Perhaps there was something special about pregnant women. Xu Ziyu was the first pregnant person she had met, so she treated Xu Ziyu as her mother and went to look for her every day.
Thinking about it that way, everything made sense.
However, there was still one question that bothered me.
Something like a Yin Soul was a combination of a human's soul and an earth soul. It was something that was created by chance, and it would forever maintain the appearance it had when it died.
But the little girl in the toilet was just a baby when she died. Why did she turn into a little girl that looked like she was six or seven years old?
