It's lunchtime now. If you go out hungry now, it'll be too late to eat by the time you're done. Don't tell me you want to stay hungry forever? "
Xia Qingwei did not allow him to explain and pulled Xie Jiling back. "Listen to me. As long as it's not too urgent, eat first."
Xie Jieling looked at Lu Man.
She thought that with the string of beads, nothing would happen to Lu Man now.
So, she finally sat back down.
However, Xie Jieling kept this matter on her mind.
So, after eating, she quickly set off.
Before she left, she even said to Lu Man, "Sister, I'll tell you when I'm done."
"Okay, you have to be careful too." Lu Man nodded.
Xie Jieling left Lu Man's house, but she didn't leave immediately.
Instead, she stopped in front of Lu Man's house and took out a compass about the size of two palms from her backpack.
She first placed the string of beads on the compass.
The string of beads and the compass simultaneously emitted a faint white translucent light.
The light flickered, as if the two were synchronized.
Then, the light from the string of beads disappeared.
Xie Jieling put away the string of beads, leaving only the compass.
The needle in the middle of the compass trembled a few times and then began to spin rapidly.
After spinning for more than ten seconds, it slowly stopped and finally pointed in the northwest direction of the courtyard.
Xie Jieling held the compass and followed the direction. She found that the grass in this corner of Lu Man's courtyard was a little withered.
Although it was winter, the grass was withered.
But this area was clearly different.
Xie Jieling took out a small bottle from her bag and sprinkled some beige powder from it into the soil.
Then, she took out four talismans from her bag and buried them in the four corners of the courtyard.
She closed her eyes and sensed for a moment.
The bad energy had already been swallowed up by the power of the talismans.
At the same time, the talismans in the four corners respectively emitted faint energy fluctuations.
A transparent protective shield was emitted from all four sides in the air.
It slowly gathered together to form a transparent semicircle that covered the sky above Lu Man's house.
Only Xie Ji's spirit could sense it.
It was impossible for others to detect it. Even those bad things could not detect it.
This way, even if that thing came again, it wouldn't be able to enter Lu Man's house.
Only then did Xie Xiling leave. He followed the compass's directions to find the negative energy fluctuations on the string of beads.
She walked like this, and unknowingly, she had crossed half of the city.
Finally, they arrived at a villa area.
Naturally, this villa district was also inhabited by the rich.
The security was also very strict.
Seeing Xie Ji Ling, he immediately stopped her.
"Little girl, are you looking for someone?" The security guard saw that Xie Jiling was small, fair, and beautiful, so his attitude became much gentler.
Xie Ji lowered his head to look at the compass. It was pointing in the direction of this residential area.
She asked the security guard, "Uncle, do you know all the residents here?"
"Yes, I recognize them all." The security guard said, "There aren't many residents here, and we have a requirement that we know every resident. Those who did not belong to the residential area had to register. They had to state clearly whose house they were visiting, and they had to verify with the resident before they could enter. "
Xie Ji Ling nodded and asked, "Then recently, have you noticed anything wrong with the residents here? For example, their mental state is not good, they look especially tired, or they are easily frightened and paranoid? "
After hearing her words, the security guard thought that there was indeed such a thing.
However, the security guard did not immediately tell Xie Ji Ling.
Instead, he asked, "Why are you asking these questions? What are you doing here? "
Xie Ji Ling said seriously, "I'm here to solve this matter. Uncle, if you know, please tell me truthfully. "
"Little girl, you're here to cause trouble! Hurry up and leave! "the security guard said.
He did not dare to carelessly reveal the residents' information.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ji Ling looked so thin and small that she did not even move when he pushed her.
He heard Xie Ji Ling say, "Uncle, I saw your expression just now. There must be a problem with the residents here, right?"
"If you know, tell me. Otherwise, the problem will only get worse, and it will threaten the residents' lives. Moreover, it's not just the residents. Even other people will be implicated. "
Xie Ji Ling still did not know why the wraith would target the residents here.
Yes, the person who had tried to harm Lu Man was a wraith.
However, wraith like this always carried a lot of resentment when they died.
Some died unjustly, and some were cruelly killed.
In short, it was not their original intention.
After death, the resentment grew stronger and stronger, and gradually grew into a wraith.
The wraith would first look for the murderer who caused her death.
However, every time it killed someone, the resentment would grow stronger.
If no one converted it, the resentment would instead drive it to continue harming people.
It would look for the murderer's family and people who were similar to the murderer.
In fact, some innocent strangers would be targeted by it just because they appeared at the place where it was killed, or because they wore clothes similar to the murderer's, or had similar characteristics.
As it killed more people, the resentment grew stronger. At a certain point, it could no longer be converted and could only be destroyed on the spot.
What Xie Ji Ling did not understand now was what relationship Lu Man had with the residents here.
"You're so young, yet you're talking about such strange things. Let me tell you, we're currently cracking down on pornography and illegal activities, getting rid of the evil, and getting rid of feudal superstitions. You're not allowed to talk about such crooked things, "the security guard warned her.
Xie Ji Ling was about to say that she was not being superstitious when a voice suddenly interrupted from the side.
"Young lady, how do you know there's a problem with the residents?" someone asked.
"Don't look at my young age. I'm very experienced in this area." Xie Ji Ling immediately straightened her back.
The other party was still worried. "You have a master, right? Call your master over for a chat? "
Naturally, Xie Ji Ling could not call her master over.
She said, "You can tell me first. I'll go back and talk to my master and see how to resolve this."
That person said skeptically, "I'm the nanny of one of the residents here. The family next door is indeed like what you said. "
Just now, she had been eavesdropping on Xie Ji Ling's conversation with the security guard.
Although this young lady looked very young and somewhat unreliable.
But what she said was correct.
"That family's son and daughter-in-law just died. The daughter-in-law died directly in the fire, and the son said that he was seriously injured in the fire. They had already been rescued and stabilized, but who knew that they would suddenly die. Moreover, I heard that they were scared to death, "the nanny said.
