Xiaolin said, "He's just one floor below me. He's been living alone in a single room for a long time, so it will be easier for you to find him. I'll take you there later."
I replied, "You don't need to go with me; I can manage on my own. I don't know much about him yet, and it's better for my safety. Bringing you along might complicate things."
Xiaolin nodded and said, "That's fine. If anything happens, just call me."
When I arrived at the small guesthouse, Xiaolin went back to his room. Following the room number he gave me, I reached the door and looked around. Everything seemed normal. I took out my compass and examined it closely; there was a faint spiritual response, almost negligible. This indicated that there was only one Spirit God here, and it was possessing someone. Not only was it possessing him, but it also concealed its ghostly aura very well. Undoubtedly, this response was caused by the spirit attached to Li Da Ye. Since there wasn't much of a threat, I didn't need to prepare anything elaborate.
I took out a protective talisman from my Cloth Bag and grabbed a handful of Cinnabar Incense Ash in my hand. I knocked on the door, expecting it to take a moment to open, but to my surprise, as soon as I knocked once, the door swung open as if it had not been locked at all. However, Li Da Ye's presence behind the door confirmed that it was indeed locked; he had simply opened it himself the moment I knocked. This was somewhat unsettling—after all, it was past three in the morning, and I hadn't made any prior arrangements before knocking on the door. But to me, this felt rather ordinary; perhaps my talisman had already stirred him.
"Hey hey, I knew you would come. Come in and let's chat," Li Da Ye's voice had changed dramatically; it sounded completely different from what I had heard before. Previously low and hoarse, his voice now resonated with strength and sounded somewhat unfamiliar—like that of a young man in his twenties. My heart sank; it seemed he had been waiting for me here. Gritting my teeth, I stepped inside while wondering what exactly was going on.
Once inside, the light was dim; I could barely make out the contours of the room. Looking around, everything appeared normal—nothing particularly curious about it. Before he could speak, I said first, "What does this mean?" Li Da Ye remained silent but poured me a glass of water and sat on the bed without saying a word.
"Alright, I know you're not Li Da Ye; come out so we can talk." I continued.
To be honest, when I said this, I lacked confidence; I just knew that I needed to have a conversation with him because I had a purpose in mind. It seemed he was also waiting for my arrival and wanted to talk as well. My goal was clear: I wanted him to help stir things up for the director, but his intentions were entirely unknown to me.
"Hey hey, why should I come out? It’s such a hassle to materialize; I'm quite comfortable inside this old man's body," Li Da Ye chuckled.
I replied, "That won't do; you've been in Li Da Ye's body for over a day now. If you don't come out soon, it will affect his body. After all, you're still a ghost."
"Don't worry, Daoist; staying in Old Man Xu's body is fine for me. I've got ways to ensure his body remains unaffected. I'll leave tomorrow and go far away," he refused my suggestion.
I was quite surprised to hear this. I even doubted whether these were the words of a Spirit God. Generally, it is difficult for a Spirit God to control a person's speech after possessing them, yet the words that came out were filled with warmth and humanity. Coupled with its youthful voice, it seemed rather incongruous.
"Alright, my surname is Liu. I originally came to find you for another matter, but now I'm very curious about you. How did you manage to hide so well? When I used Cow Tears in the ancestral hall, I only saw the soul of that little girl and didn't notice you at all. Also, I want to know, did you possess Li Da Ye just to burn Joss Paper?" I posed my questions.
It did not answer immediately; instead, it suddenly lay back on the bed and closed its eyes slowly. From Li Da Ye's state, it seemed that it had already exited. Before I could speak, its voice entered my mind: "Liu Daozhang, I have been wandering in the human world for a long time. My Soul has undergone significant changes, and I do not know the reason. There are many things I can do now; I no longer have many limitations. When I possess others, I never cause them any harm. I can control the person I possess, but only for a limited time. After a while, I need to come out for some fresh air."
"Oh, but you still haven't answered my question," I said. I already knew about its abilities; after it exited Li Da Ye's body, Li Da Ye appeared as if he were asleep, showing no signs of being affected by Yin Qi. This proved that those possessed by it would not suffer any harm. I didn't understand why this was the case, but the priority now was to finish what needed to be done.
Another voice came through: "Alright, Liu Daozhang, the reason I possessed Li Da Ye is for money. Their production team has plenty of Hell Money. Yesterday, I told the Props Team to prepare more Joss Paper; when the time comes, I'll burn it continuously—all of it for my sister."
"Wait a minute! Are you saying that little ghost you placed in the director's room is your sister? What is she doing there? Is it because of that recording? But your sister wasn't even captured in it," I realized their relationship and naturally had more direction in my questioning.
This time there was no immediate response; instead, a tangible Spirit God slowly materialized before me—this was intentionally shown to me by it. After appearing and seeing my calm expression, it did not continue to show off but sat down on a chair and continued: "Yes, that's the little girl; she is my sister. My sister is not dead; her Living Soul has just escaped while her bodily functions are still intact. However, she cannot return now. I'm trying to find a way to bring her Living Soul back to save her, but I don't know how to do it. A few days ago, I encountered Yin Chai; Yin Chai knows that my sister's Lifespan is not yet over but can still take her away if they encounter her. If they take her away, it's over—my sister would fall into a permanent Vegetative State. So in the end, I negotiated with Yin Chai and offered them money so they wouldn't take my sister's Living Soul." It paused here and then dove back into Li Da Ye's body.
Li Da Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up abruptly. He opened his mouth and softly tried to make sounds until he got it right and continued: "But we don't have enough money; we can only resort to this method to raise funds."
I said, "Just stick to talking about business; stop jumping around like that." Although I wasn't afraid, it made me uncomfortable dealing with such a lively character. At the same time, many questions arose in my mind...
