Chapter 449: Chapter 449: The Evil Beneath the Highly-Educated Exterior_1
Qin Sisi looked at ng Xiaofei, speaking in a mild tone, "Alright, I’ll get you out of here. But first, can you tell
what exactly has happened here?"
ng Xiaofei nodded repeatedly, pleading, "It’s not a problem to tell you, but can we leave this place first? If we end up startling him, I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape."
"Him? Who’s he?" Qin Sisi asked confusedly.
ng Xiaofei answered with a terrified expression, "He’s the owner of this villa. He’s truly fearso, Sisi, you have to believe ."
Before Qin Sisi could say anything, another ghost who had floated out of the pile of bones with ng Xiaofei also agreed, "What she is saying is true; that guy is really terrifying. Miss, if he were to catch you, you’d end up like us. We should really leave this place."
Qin Sisi furrowed her brows. Of course she didn’t believe she would end up like them. Even if she can’t defeat the person they were referring to, there was still Ye You!
However, seeing how frightened these two spirits were, and considering their grueso states at the ti of their deaths, it’s apparent they must have been tortured terribly whilst alive.
Given the situation at hand, this matter likely runs deep, and can’t be resolved in an instant. It might be better to do them a favor by leaving this place first, and wait until the specifics of the matter have been clarified before making a plan.
So, Qin Sisi nodded and said, "Alright, if you’re scared, let’s leave this place first."
Upon hearing Qin Sisi’s words, both ng Xiaofei and the other ghost revealed pleased expressions, but soon worry crossed their faces.
ng Xiaofei expressed her concern, "I fear the other areas may have Blood Talismans to suppress ghosts, we dare not move around freely."
Blood Talisman, it must be the one that Ye You had just removed from the back of the iron box!
Qin Sisi said calmly, "It’s okay, I can take you with
first."
ng Xiaofei and the other ghost looked at each other, both seeming sowhat puzzled.
Qin Sisi gave a nod to Ye You, who raised his claw towards the two ghosts, and they vanished into thin air in an instant.
Then Ye You activated the Invisible Bubble, concealing Qin Sisi with his ability, and whispered, "Let’s go."
Qin Sisi nodded, walked over to close the lid of the iron box filled with bones, to prevent the owner from noticing, and then moved towards the window.
But after inspecting it, she discovered the window couldn’t be opened, as it was completely sealed in place with a large pane of glass.
Qin Sisi had no choice but to abandon the idea of leaving through the window, and turned to head towards the door, planning to use the original route back.
Just as she reached the door and was about to open it, the door silently opened on its own.
Qin Sisi felt a jolt of surprise and quickly stepped back, pressing her back against the wall.
A person walked in from outside the door, wearing slippers and thus producing no footstep sounds.
Even though she knew they couldn’t see her, Qin Sisi still felt sowhat nervous, staring wide-eyed in the light of the Ziwei Heaven Fire, observing closely.
It was a tall man, dressed in creased house clothing, bearded, with tousled hair, as if he just woke up.
But waking up in the middle of the night isn’t a ti to wander around, is it?
Could this strange person be the murderer who killed ng Xiaofei and the other woman?
The man made a turn around the room. He had a sense of keenness over ordinary humans, having abruptly awakened from a peaceful sleep with an uneasy feeling, leading him to check on each room.
There were no unusual circumstances in the room, the grinder silently in its place, and the pile of bones in the large iron box undisturbed.
The man nodded satisfactorily, feeling a bit too cautious of a situation that turned out to be normal, and swiftly exited the room.
Qin Sisi stayed in place for a while, estimating that the man should be gone by now, then quietly opened the door and left.
The villa had returned to the quiet state as it was when they arrived, the corridor deserted, all the doors closed, as if no one lived here.
Qin Sisi took a deep breath, retraced her steps downstairs according to the original route, and left the eerie villa.
At the front gate of the villa, she summoned the "Wings of Rainbow". Controlling the colourful wings, she flew towards her apartnt.
Qin Sisi knew that there wasn’t much ti left for the Invisible Bubble, so she purposely increased her speed, but it still only lasted halfway through.
To avoid letting people see the radiant light of the Wings of Rainbow, Qin Sisi had to land and retract the wings, and then let Ye You create a silver sphere with magic, which carried them along for the rest of the journey.
Back at ho, Qin Sisi cleaned up a bit, then urged Ye You to release the two ghosts so they could ask them in detail.
Seeing Qin Sisi in a hurry, Ye You shook his head in sympathy and frustration, softly saying, "Promise , once everything is clarified, rest well."
Qin Sisi caught the hint of care in Ye You’s words, and her heart ward, jokingly saying, "Of course, I’m not made of iron."
Ye You paused for a mont, sighed slightly, raised his claw, and let out the ghosts of ng Xiaofei and the other woman.
The two ghosts appeared sowhat dazed and apprehensive, looking around in surprise and curiosity.
ng Xiaofei had known Qin Sisi for a while and was familiar with her temperant, so she felt sowhat less uneasy.
After looking around, ng Xiaofei gradually cald down and asked Qin Sisi, "Sisi, is this your ho? The house is quite nice, do you rent or own it?"
Qin Sisi replied indifferently, "I rent it."
"Oh." ng Xiaofei elongated the word, showing a hint of smug satisfaction.
In her heart, she truly didn’t want Qin Sisi to be well-off.
With her pride in her beauty, she felt she was the only one who deserved a place in high society, living a life of wealth and prestige.
And girls like Qin Sisi were only fit to be ordinary employees in companies.
Qin Sisi had long been aware of ng Xiaofei’s character, and ignored her veiled mockery. There was no need to prove her experiences and capabilities to soone who completely didn’t understand.
The other woman took the initiative to express gratitude to Qin Sisi, "Thank you for your help, miss."
Qin Sisi seized the opportunity to ignore ng Xiaofei, and said to the woman in a kind voice, "You’re welco, it was only a small effort on my part. Could you tell
your na?"
The woman politely replied, "My na is Xu Min, I am a graduate student who was being ntored by Gao Xuecai."
"Gao Xuecai?" Qin Sisi repeated the impressive sounding na in confusion.
Xu Min nodded and said dismayed and mournfully, "Yes, Gao Xuecai, he’s a doctor in our school’s biopharmaceuticals departnt, and the murderer who killed us."
