It was just dawn when the Ancient Sorcerer eagerly knocked on Zhou Yake's door.
"Ancient Sorcerer, what’s wrong?"
Zhou Yake was wearing a loose nightgown that accentuated her delicate curves. The sight of her, resembling a beauty in spring slumber, made the Ancient Sorcerer glance at her a few more times.
"Well... I have an idea."
Noticing the Ancient Sorcerer's gaze wandering over her, she blushed slightly and became more alert. It felt too deliberate to go back and change clothes now, so she pretended not to notice and asked, "What idea?"
"Spirit summoning. Have you heard of it?"
"Huh? Spirit summoning? Whose spirit are we summoning?"
Zhou Yake looked at the Ancient Sorcerer in confusion. Spirit summoning? She had heard of it, but whose spirit could be summoned?
"Your husband's."
Zhou Yake was stunned upon hearing this. Summon her husband’s spirit?
"I... my husband's...?"
"Yes."
The Ancient Sorcerer nodded and explained, "I was thinking that since several years have passed, the most important thing to clarify this case is to know what happened at that time. And the one who knows this best is obviously your husband. Therefore, I want to summon his spirit to ask him."
After death, a person's spirit still carries their original thoughts and emotions, and Lai Fangming's was no exception. However, since Lai Fangming's human soul was scattered in the graveyard while his heavenly soul had returned to the heavens, the remaining Earth Soul was too weak for communication. But if both the human soul and heavenly soul could be summoned back and merged with the Earth Soul, then perhaps communication would be possible.
This is the method that the Ancient Sorcerer thought of last night.
"Do you understand this?"
Zhou Yake's voice trembled, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the Ancient Sorcerer.
Summoning a soul? Could it really bring her husband's soul back?
"Yes, but this won't bring your husband back to life; it can only ask about what happened at that time."
There are two reasons for a soul to leave the body: one is complete death, and the other is the absence of one or more souls from the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, which is often referred to in modern medicine as a vegetative state.
If it's the latter, summoning the soul might indeed awaken someone, but if it's the former, then there is no way.
The Ancient Sorcerer worried that Zhou Yake was overthinking and quickly clarified.
Wiping away her tears, Zhou Yake shook her head and said, "I wasn't thinking about that. I was just thinking that if I could really summon his soul and say a few words to him, I would be satisfied."
"Well, that can be done."
Zhou Yake was overjoyed and asked, "When can we start?"
After thinking for a moment, the Ancient Sorcerer replied, "How about this: you prepare an outfit that your husband loved to wear the most during his lifetime. We will begin after midnight tonight."
Since the clothes were worn by the deceased, they still carry the person's essence. This is the most important catalyst for performing soul summoning magic and is essential.
"No problem, I'll go prepare right away."
Although her husband had been dead for several years, Zhou Yake had not gone a single day without missing him. She had not thrown away any of his clothes; they were all washed and neatly placed in the wardrobe. Ancient Sorcerer now wanted one of the outfits her husband wore most often and loved the most, which was quite simple.
"Okay, I'll step out to take care of some things and come back later."
After Ancient Sorcerer hurriedly left, Zhou Yake quickly walked back to her room to find clothes. However, as she walked, she felt as if she were floating, not really touching the ground at all.
Summoning spirits?
Being able to talk to her deceased husband?
Zhou Yake felt her heart racing like a little deer. She even spaced out several times while searching for clothes, her hands trembling severely as she picked one outfit up only to put it down again, then picked up another only to set it aside, unable to make a decision for a long time.
...
"Clang!"
Fan Feng loosened his grip, and the teacup in his hand fell onto the table, spilling its contents everywhere, followed by a flurry of chaos.
Seeing this, Ancient Sorcerer was startled and quickly pulled out a tissue to hand over, then called for the waiter.
Once everything was cleaned up, Ancient Sorcerer said, "So... was what I said really that exaggerated?"
Glaring at Ancient Sorcerer, Fan Feng replied, "What do you think? Summoning spirits? How can you even say such a thing? Does this kind of thing really exist in this world?"
With a smile, the Ancient Sorcerer said, "What about Zhang Qi? What about the Supreme Ancestor? Are those also non-existent?"
Fan Feng fell silent; she had no way to refute the Ancient Sorcerer's words. The events involving Zhang Qi and the Supreme Ancestor were her personal experiences, and the matter of the Blood-Drinking Centipede that happened to her was even more bizarre.
All of these existed, so it was not impossible for soul summoning to exist as well.
Seeing Fan Feng's silence, the Ancient Sorcerer knew she had accepted this idea and continued, "The most critical issue with the current case is that too much time has passed. The scene cannot be restored, and we are unclear about what happened at that time. So if someone involved could recount the events..."
"If that could really happen, then this case would likely be solved!"
Before the Ancient Sorcerer could finish speaking, Fan Feng interrupted him, her eyes flashing with excitement. A murder case could actually allow the victim to appear and explain what had happened? This was her first encounter with such a situation.
"Then why don't we give it a try?"
Fan Feng looked at the Ancient Sorcerer and noticed he seemed very confident, so she smiled and said, "Alright, let's give it a try."
The Ancient Sorcerer was absolutely right; why not give it a shot?
"By the way, Ancient Sorcerer, I want to ask a question. Since you can summon Lai Fangming's soul back, can you summon others as well? I happen to have several unsolved murder cases on hand..."
"Stop!"
The Ancient Sorcerer waved his hand to interrupt Fan Feng, saying, "Hold on, hold on. I can summon souls, but not every soul can be summoned. Generally speaking, their Earth Soul must still be intact and not have entered hell; otherwise, if they have already entered reincarnation, I cannot do anything."
"I see..."
Fan Feng's face showed a look of disappointment, but thinking about it, that was normal. If it were really possible to summon any soul at will, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
"I'm not a deity. No, even if I were a deity, I couldn't just summon any soul I wanted..."
Before the Ancient Sorcerer could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number. As soon as he pressed the answer button, a sharp child's voice came through, sounding anxious:
"Uncle Luo, it's Chenchen. Mom... someone is bullying Mom. You have to come quickly..."
The Ancient Sorcerer's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and asked, "Where are you now?"
"I'm at my house in the Yard."
"I'll be right back. Just wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, the Ancient Sorcerer intended to head outside when Fan Feng quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Lai Fangming's wife has been pressured by someone to sell their house. That area is now under old city renovation, and there are people causing trouble there. I need to go back and check it out."
Upon hearing this, Fan Feng's anger flared up, and he stood up as well, saying, "I'll go with you."
"Okay!"
The Ancient Sorcerer and Fan Feng hurriedly rushed out of the teahouse and got into the car, heading straight for Zhou Yake's house.
