After saying goodbye to Zhu Yaoguo, Qicheng got up and left the "Convenience Supermarket". As for the four big bags of snacks, he still chose to leave them in the grocery store.
If there were only two bags, he might have helped to carry them. But there were a full four bags! Although they weren't heavy, it was still quite troublesome to carry them.
Walking on the path leading to the main road, Qicheng recalled the story he had just heard and muttered to himself, "The story of the deceased should be somewhat helpful for Lei Ting and the others in their case investigation. I'll tell him later..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart and turned to look to his side.
He saw that by the side of the road, there was a calico cat with a black, white, and yellow body, but its head was only black and white, and it had a complete Tai Chi pattern on its head. It was sitting there quietly, with a dignified sitting posture, like a quiet lady.
"Shihun!" Qicheng shouted excitedly. Just as he was about to reach out and pick it up, the cat dodged away.
"Meow." "Shihun" meowed like an ordinary cat, then turned around and ran in one direction.
"Shihun! Don't run away!" Without thinking too much, Qicheng quickly chased after it.
Then, during the chase, Qicheng noticed something strange.
While running, "Shihun" maintained a speed that he couldn't catch up with but also wouldn't lose. And it also looked back at him from time to time, as if it was afraid that he would stop chasing.
In this situation, Qicheng understood that "Shihun" wanted to take him to a certain place.
Understanding the calico cat's intention, Qicheng didn't say anything more and quietly followed behind "Shihun".
About fifteen minutes later, the man and the cat came to a large open area.
This open area covered a large area and was full of green weeds, making it impossible to see the end at a glance. Among them, there was a dirt road trodden by people, running across the entire open area, extending from the town on one side to the town on the other side.
Stepping onto the dirt road, Qicheng successively saw several vegetable plots on both sides of the road, with various vegetables planted. There were even a few papaya trees and banana trees mixed in.
After walking a certain distance on the dirt road, a dilapidated cemetery appeared in Qicheng's sight.
This cemetery didn't have a decent fence or gate, just a very simple wooden fence and several large trees that grew well. Other than that, there were only more than a dozen extremely plain tombstones.
Qicheng didn't know why "Shihun" had brought him here. Since he knew that it could probably understand what he said, just as he was about to ask, he saw it hook his trouser leg with its paw and then run in one direction.
Qicheng quickly caught up. Soon, the man and the cat came to the reverse slope behind a big tree, about thirty meters away from that cemetery.
After arriving here, "Shihun" lay on the grass and squinted its eyes to rest.
"Do you want me to wait for someone to come here?" Considering that this was an excellent observation point at the moment, Qicheng roughly guessed the purpose of "Shihun" bringing him here and asked.
"Shihun" didn't meow but nodded its cat head in a rather human-like manner.
Seeing that the calico cat confirmed his guess, Qicheng became very curious about the person who was about to come. He wanted to know who exactly it was that an extraordinary cat was keeping an eye on.
About thirty minutes later, a figure appeared on the dirt road where he had come from. When the person gradually approached, Qicheng widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe. But after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable.
It was none other than Zhu Yaoguo, the store manager of the "Convenience Supermarket".
Zhu Yaoguo walked onto this dirt road and went straight into that dilapidated cemetery. He took out a bottle of mineral water and a towel from a cloth handbag he carried with him.
He unscrewed the mineral water bottle, poured it onto the towel, wrung out the excess water, then walked up to the nearest tombstone, squatted down, and started wiping it.
After wiping the first tombstone, he repeated the above actions and continued to wipe the next tombstone. Until he had cleaned all the tombstones in the cemetery and also pulled out the weeds that had grown too tall, he put the towel back into the handbag.
"Did the grocery store owner come here just to wipe the tombstones?" Qicheng thought to himself while observing secretly, and at the same time, he denied this possibility.
He knew that if the other person had just come to wipe the tombstones, "Shihun" wouldn't have specially brought him here.
Soon, his thoughts were verified.
He saw Zhu Yaoguo casually put the handbag on the ground, took a few steps to the center of the cemetery, and then closed his eyes.
Then, the old man maintained this standing-at-attention posture, as if he had fallen asleep, without making any more movements.
After watching Zhu Yaoguo stand with his eyes closed for more than a minute, Qicheng felt strange. Just as he was about to ask "Shihun", he suddenly thought that this was a cemetery! What might there be in the cemetery? Ghosts!
With this thought, Qicheng immediately had an idea, and a faint haze covered his left eye.
The "Yin-Yang Vision" was activated!
In an instant, in the cemetery where there was originally no one else except Zhu Yaoguo, more than a dozen translucent figures of different shapes appeared.
In Qicheng's left eye, these figures were all floating in the air, in various shapes, some big, some small, some old, some young, male and female. The only common point was that they were all naked. They were indeed a group of ghosts.
At this time, these ghosts were whispering and talking to a ghost in the center. Looking at its appearance, it was exactly Zhu Yaoguo!
Was he also a superpower user? Was his ability to project his soul? Qicheng, who was also a soul-based superpower user, immediately guessed Zhu Yaoguo's ability. At the same time, he concentrated his attention and began to listen to the conversation among that group of ghosts.
Although Qicheng's ability was called "Yin-Yang Vision", in fact, he could also hear the voices of the ghosts. And unlike the ghosts that could only be seen with his left eye, he could hear the words of the ghosts with both ears. However, every time he listened, he either had to get very close, almost face-to-face, or he could only concentrate his attention and it was difficult to pay attention to other situations.
As his attention gradually focused, the originally rustling sounds in his ears gradually became clearer.
"So such a big thing happened yesterday." The voice of an extremely old man among the ghosts first reached his ears.
"His parents are both dead, he has no wife or children, and his life is poor. It's not strange that he committed suicide. The sudden improvement a few days ago was probably just an act for his friends around him." Followed by the voice of a slightly younger man.
"Grandpa and grandma, what does it mean to commit suicide?" The third voice was a very young voice, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female, that of a child.
"There are some people who are under too much pressure and don't want to stay in this world anymore. They decide to become a soul body like us and then be reincarnated as a new person." The one who answered the child was an old granny.
"Ah? What grandma said is so hard to understand. Tongtong doesn't understand." The child ghost named Tongtong replied. After a pause, he said, "I want that brother over there to tell me. He is so big, he must have read a lot of books and can definitely tell me why in words I can understand!"
That brother over there?! Could it be me?! Qicheng, who was eavesdropping secretly behind the reverse slope, felt a thud in his heart, and a bad premonition welled up.
