"No, it's okay." He Xiaohe's face was stiff, and he forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying, "It's just, I'm afraid." Afraid? Fu Bao noticed that He Xiaohe's hands were shaking.
"What are you afraid of?" Fu Bao glanced at the kitchen. Everything was normal and there was nothing dirty.
"No, I don't know. I felt very scared all of a sudden. I'm much better now." He Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe it was because of the nightmare I had just now."
"What on earth were you dreaming about?" Fu Bao asked.
"It seems, probably, maybe it's related to water, and then there are a lot of grasses." After thinking for a long time, He Xiaohe finally remembered some fragments.
"Grass?" Fu Bao thought of the water plants found in the mouths of victims. Could it be that Xiao He sensed something through her super inspiration?
"Think about it again and tell me if you think of more." Fu Bao ordered, "I'll go to the study to read the information. If you need anything, call me."
"Yeah." He Xiaohe nodded and continued to cook, but she was a little absent-minded. She turned on the faucet and the water flowed down. She started to wash the vegetables, but the moment she put her hand under the water, she suddenly trembled. She finally knew What is she afraid of? She is afraid of... water!
"It's strange, why am I afraid of water?" After dinner, Fu Bao fell into the study again. Time passed by. They had to solve the problem of the curse letter quickly, and they didn't know who Li Tongxiang sent the letter to. , I hope Yang Jian can investigate it quickly.
Even if she felt uncomfortable seeing the water, it was impossible not to take a shower. He Xiaohe was going to take a shower and go to bed. Before going to the bathroom, she went to the study and said to her boss, "Hey, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Yeah." Fu Bao suddenly turned around, "Wait a minute, is this the kind of grass you dreamed about?"
He held up a bottle containing several water plants.
"That was a dream, how could I remember it clearly?" Although He Xiaohe said this, he still took a closer look at the bottle.
It was like playing a movie in her mind, with many images passing through her mind, including a lot of water, darkness and coldness, grass everywhere, a pale face...
However, these fragments were fleeting and she couldn't catch any of them. She frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook her head.
Fu Bao was helpless and waved his hand, indicating that she could go take a shower.
He Xiaohe shrugged, saying he was helpless, turned and walked towards the bathroom. Stepping into the bathroom and closing the door, He Xiaohe first turned on the faucet and started running water. Then he took off his clothes, entered the shower room, closed the frosted glass door, and turned on the shower head switch.
The water splashed down, and the warm water made her sigh in comfort.
"A hot bath is the most comfortable in winter." She slowly closed her eyes. Fu Bao, who was in the study, was studying the files of the dead students. The bottle grass and the curse letter whose handwriting had been blurred by water were placed on the desk in front of him.
Fu Bao clearly felt that as night fell, the ominous atmosphere exuding from the curse letter became clearer and clearer.
"Who are you? What does it have to do with the dead?" Although he didn't want to think so, he speculated that the death of the female ghost was closely related to those students. There were endless news about campus bullying. Nowadays, criminals are getting younger. In order to He kills people for the smallest things, and he doesn't even know what's going on in the world.
Five people have died, will anyone die again?
In addition to them, no one has received Li Tongxiang's curse letter. This is the most urgent matter to be resolved.
Fu Bao spread out the curse letter sent by Li Tongxiang, closed his eyes and felt it, his face instantly turned pale. The more the evil ghost killed people, the stronger the resentment became.
"I didn't mean it...don't kill me..."
"I don't want to die!"
"Let me go, let me go...ah..."
"I can't breathe. It's so painful. Please..." Countless howls came into his mind. These should be the souls who died from the curse letter. Their souls were trapped by the curse letter. No, that's accurate. Said that he was trapped by a female ghost.
"What exactly did you do?" Putting down the curse letter, Fu Bao spread out the files of the students one by one. At this time, the temperature in the office dropped sharply, and black mist came out of nowhere and filled the entire study.
"Woo... Wu..." When the wind flows, it makes a sound like a ghost crying.
Fu Bao narrowed his eyes, stood up slowly, and faced the curse letter on the desk with a cold expression.
"Shua..." The folded curse letter was blown open by the wind.
A burst of malicious and sharp laughter burst out violently, causing pain in his eardrums. He couldn't help but cover his ears. At this time, countless shadows appeared from the black mist.
"I told you many things!" A large cloud of black mist jumped out from the curse letter, forming a human figure with teeth and claws in mid-air, roaring and rushing towards Fu Bao.
"We're finally here, welcome!" He threw a handful of rice toward the black mist.
"Whoosh..." The rice grains passed through the mist, and the black human figure kept screaming. The shape became lighter and lighter, and gradually dispersed.
This salt rice is used to ward off evil spirits and is very effective in dealing with ghosts. However, its effectiveness against evil spirits is limited.
"That's it?" Fu Bao raised his eyebrows. It didn't make sense. This female ghost's attack power should be very strong. Just as he was thinking about it, water as black as ink suddenly burst out from the floor under his feet, and pale hands suddenly grabbed his feet and tried to drag him down.
"Another helper?" Fu Bao then noticed that the hands emerging from the water belonged to other ghosts. Before he had time to think about it, his feet had been frozen and could not move.
At this time, the cry that had been ringing in his mind came clearly from the water.
"Die...die..."
"Die like us!"
"You'll die if you meddle in your own business..." The situation is not good.
Fu Bao touched his pocket and found that there was only a little salt and rice left to ward off evil spirits.
He gritted his teeth, took out the last bit of salt and rice, and sprinkled it hard on the ghost's hands holding his feet.
The pale hands immediately retracted as if burned by fire, and the ghosts let out shrill screams.
Fu Bao, who regained his freedom, ran away, kicked open the study door without saying a word, and rushed to the kitchen.
"You can't run away. Anyone who receives the curse letter will die -" The icy black mist followed closely behind him. All the light tubes along the way were burst by the cold air, the floor continued to overflow, and the walls began to freeze. Bing, a series of ferocious black shadows clung to him, chasing him all the way to the kitchen.
No way!
As soon as he rushed into the kitchen, Fu Bao turned around and looked directly at the ghosts who were chasing him. He forced himself to ignore the water under his feet that could frostbite people and face them calmly.
The cold wind was blowing, and the walls of the kitchen were gradually freezing. The temperature was getting lower and lower, and the ghost's roar was getting louder and louder, making the glass windows rattle.
"Go to hell——"
The black mist split into several black shadows, roaring and rushing toward him——
"boom!"
Everything in the kitchen was swept up by the strong wind and fell on Fu Bao.
"Now!" Fu Bao ducked out of the way and threw a large basin of salt and rice that he had prepared earlier at the ghosts.
"Ah ah ah -" The ghosts were screaming. The fierce and terrifying ghosts were still afraid of the power of exorcism. Their bodies made of black mist were full of holes. The screams gradually turned into wailing, and the black mist dispersed into thin smoke.
Is this victory too easy?
After Fu Bao poured out the last bit of salt, he suddenly felt something was wrong. What were they talking about just now?
Are you going to die like us?
Fu Bao rushed forward, and before the black mist completely dissipated, he looked carefully at the ghost's face, which seemed a bit familiar. This...is Li Tongxiang's ghost? !
He hurriedly turned to look at the other ghost and found that this was also one of the students killed by the curse letter. He had seen his photo in the information.
These were all students who were killed by female ghosts. Why were they driven to attack him?
In other words, where is the female ghost? Why wasn't she here to take her own life?
Countless questions flashed through his mind, and Fu Bao suddenly felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him——
He Xiaohe! Her target is Xiao He!
