"So cold!" Shi Yanlei's first reaction upon waking was a shiver.
Zhao Yan glanced at him. Of course, it was cold. With her yang energy absorbed, he naturally felt chilly.
"Alright, you can come down now. I have something to ask you," Zhao Yan said softly.
The hanging female ghost breathed a sigh of relief, slowly untied the rope, and began to descend.
She stood obediently behind Zhao Yan.
"I want to ask you, how many of you are good ghosts, and which ones are bad?" Zhao Yan asked.
"All good..."
"Hmm?" Zhao Yan raised her hand and began to tap the hanging female ghost's forehead. As she tapped, the ghost retreated behind her.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Stop tapping, or my forehead will cave in!" The hanging female ghost covered her forehead with her hand.
She raised her finger.
"The sister who cut her wrists is good, the sister who fell headfirst is also good, the sister who died halfway through using the toilet is also good, and I... I am also good."
The hanging female ghost's voice grew less confident as she spoke, and she couldn't help but glance up at Zhao Yan.
Seeing Zhao Yan's lack of reaction, she dared to continue, "I'm not sure about the sister who jumped off the building."
"You haven't seen the one who jumped?" Zhao Yan asked.
The hanging female ghost replied, "I saw her once, but she was good."
"And what about the other one?" Zhao Yan asked.
The hanging female ghost tilted her head, looking at Zhao Yan with confusion, "The other one?"
"There was a little boy," Zhao Yan asked.
The hanging female ghost waved her hand, "I've never seen a boy spirit."
Zhao Yan stared intently at the hanging female ghost, seeing her expression was very certain.
"Can you call out all your sisters?" Zhao Yan asked.
"I... I can call them, but Master, you have to promise not to do anything to them. If you can't guarantee it, I won't call them out," the hanging female ghost said.
"You're quite loyal even now. Don't worry, if I wanted to capture you all, I would have done so long ago," Zhao Yan said calmly.
This statement, of course, contained a bit of bluster.
Affected by the yin mist, her yang energy was also restricted, and her yin-yang eyes saw things vaguely.
"Alright, then I'll go call them all over. But Master, you really promised me, if you do anything bad to them, I'll... I'll fight you!" The hanging female ghost shouted with diminishing courage at the end.
"Hurry up and go," Zhao Yan said sternly.
With a stern face, she came down. The hanging female ghost immediately cowered and quickly left the area.
Zhao Yan wasn't afraid of her escaping. Having been marked by her talisman, no matter where she ran, it would be easy to find her.
After a while, the hanging female ghost walked in first, followed by the female ghost who had cut her wrists, the female ghost whose face was half-smashed, and the female ghost who had died from exerting too much force halfway through using the toilet.
"Master, I've called them all here," the hanging female ghost said.
Then she turned to her sisters behind her and said, "Master said she won't harm us. Not only will she not harm us, but she will also help us reincarnate as humans and take us away from this haunted building."
Zhao Yan's eyes were pitch black. She hadn't said any of that.
"They are all here now. Master, ask whatever you want to ask. They will definitely tell you anything they know, without any concealment," the hanging female ghost said, patting her chest confidently.
Zhao Yan asked the questions that were on her mind and received the answers she wanted.
