Chapter 975: Chapter 979: My Spiritual Eyes Boyfriend (19)
Having a pair of Spiritual Eyes that others can’t compare to is what made Yun Yu feel different from others.
Though he didn’t show it outwardly, he inevitably felt a sense of superiority deep inside.
Encountering ghosts and strange creatures, although risky, no matter if they’re wealthy or powerful individuals, facing such things, they can only pray to the gods, without any solution whatsoever.
Those clients he used to meet, regardless of their identity or social status, when confronted with issues, they treated him with great respect and courtesy.
The resentful spirit last time was just an accident; he refused to believe such an accident could happen to him again.
After a few days of peace, Yun Yu planned to resume his old trade.
Su Li: You might not believe what I say, but such an accident can indeed happen again.
Gai Yun is now a True Man, not only unable to help him as before, just not dragging him down is already the best result.
Prepared to take another task, Yun Yu was fully loaded this time.
With the money provided by Gai Yun, Yun Yu not only replaced his spiritual knife but also purchased many talisman papers.
In renowned ancient temples, talisman papers blessed day and night by monks surprisingly contained light Spiritual Energy.
And accordingly, the price of these amulets was super expensive.
Yun Yu bought a dozen without a second thought, not short on money.
Now he’s pursuing his trade not for money, but for fame.
This time’s mission had to do with a supernatural occurrence at a construction site stalled for half a month.
The person seeking help was a well-known entrepreneur.
Out of options, he turned to Yun Yu.
According to him, he purchased a piece of land intending to build a high-end residential area.
The project started several months back, with the foundation fully laid when strange things occurred on the site.
A month ago, a worker’s finger suddenly got caught in a mixer, causing his entire arm to be ground up.
This incident was still seen as an accident because the worker liked drinking a little at night, likely still fuzzy-headed at work the next day, causing the tragedy.
But two or three days later, another worker accidentally fell off a wall, getting his foot pierced by rebar.
This was somewhat better; at least no one died, but frequent safety incidents really got on people’s nerves.
A few days later, a worker fell to his death with a head injury.
The repeated mishaps had workers uneasy.
Afterward, every few days, a worker would incidentally have an accident, each recalling the uncanny feeling as if possessed by a ghost, resulting in tragedies.
Even the dullest people felt it was ominous and spooky.
No matter how high the wages offered by the foreman, no worker wanted to stay here anymore.
The pay might be high, but one needed life to spend it.
The construction site has halted for half a month now, Boss Xiao is beyond anxious.
All his liquid assets poured into the project; if couldn’t be completed, the loss was beyond what he could bear.
So, through introductions, he found Yun Yu.
Before accepting the business deal, Yun Yu stealthily visited the construction site.
He wished never to encounter an accident like the resentful spirit again.
But this time, things seemed simple; just a few evil auras causing trouble, clearing these would settle it.
With the task being easy, Yun Yu brought along Gai Yun.
Just a few traces of Evil Qi; he was confident in protecting his girlfriend.
————
Boss Xiao personally escorted Yun Yu and Gai Yun to the construction site; about a hundred meters away from the work address, Boss Xiao’s car stopped.
Boss Xiao apologetically said, “I won’t go any further, Brother Yun, notify me once you finish, and I’ll transfer you the balance, plus I’ve reserved a villa for you at Huating Residence.”
Yun Yu was initially a bit displeased, but upon hearing an additional villa was prepared for him, his face brightened up.
A villa at Huating Residence worth millions was a grand gesture.
Yun Yu was satisfied and treated Boss Xiao more amiably, smilingly saying, “Just wait here for me; it won’t take long for me to come out.”
Yun Yu’s confidence made Boss Xiao smile as well.
The construction site was chaotic, tools scattered everywhere, untidy.
Yun Yu led Gai Yun straight to the areas where he saw traces of Evil Qi.
After a fair bit of work, the aura at the site was cleared, and even the gloomy sky overhead seemed brighter.
After Yun Yu dealt with the last trace of evil aura and was about to pack up to leave, something bright caught his eye in the dirt pile.
Quicker than him was Gai Yun; curious at first glance she hastened over, dug through the soil, and unearthed the object.
A palm-sized rusty Iron Sword, covered with black-red scum.
Yun Yu didn’t have time to stop her; he heard Gai Yun cry out, her finger cut by the Iron Sword.
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
The glimmer he saw just now couldn’t possibly originate from the little sword.
Moreover, a rusty Iron Sword can’t be like a sharp blade cutting through iron; how had it managed to cut skin so easily?
A series of questions instantly flashed through his mind.
Before he could think further, the scene unfolding before him made his heart race wildly, pounding.
The Iron Sword, stained with Gai Yun’s blood, clung to her palm like strong adhesive, buzzing with noise.
Gai Yun frantically shook her arm, shouting, “It’s… it’s sucking my blood!”
The previously ordinary Iron Sword suddenly emitted a cloud of fierce Evil Qi, stronger than what he’d just dealt with.
What the heck is this thing?
No matter what, Gai Yun must be saved.
Nearly exhausting all the life-saving tools he brought along, he finally destroyed the Iron Sword stuck in Gai Yun’s palm.
Yu and Gai Yun hadn’t even caught their breath before gusts of chilling wind swept over them, alongside ghostly howls, turning the world dark.
When they looked up again, the surroundings seemed unchanged but completely different from before.
They were still at the construction site, yet around them inexplicably appeared numerous low structures.
And each of those buildings had occupants.
One after another, grotesque and distorted figures stepped out from the houses.
Stunned and frightened, Yun Yu and Gai Yun stared at the scene before them.
A word thudded into Yun Yu’s mind.
Haunted Realm!
