Unexpectedly, Brother Bao, a neighbor who has always been good to me and saved my life, will actually attack me secretly.

If I hadn't witnessed him dealing with my body, I wouldn't have believed it.

The female ghost messenger Yang Luji saved me and explained the situation to me. It seemed that I could not stay here anymore. Fortunately, I was ready to go back to my hometown for the New Year.

Lu Ji was wearing a big red down jacket, and her hands were as soft as her clothes, which made me feel a little moved. However, after hearing her warning, I had to give up. I was not yet at the point of giving my life for her.

She understood, so I asked, "When did you come?"

"I have always been by your side, but sometimes I will perform tasks. You have completed three indicators. If you continue like this, you will be able to complete the tasks in the contract and restore your freedom." A hint of envy appeared in Lu Ji's words.

I continued to ask: "What about you? When will you complete the task and restore your freedom?"

In the darkness, Lu Ji sighed: "Once you are a ghost mission, you will never give up. We ghost missions want freedom unless our souls are scattered."

This is also a death contract, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her, "Then will you stay by my side to protect me?" I was a little delusional.

She responded faintly: "I want to leave before dawn and then return to Huangjue Temple."

There were less than five hours left, so I comforted her: "Since that's the case, then let's cherish the short time we spend together!"

She took off her down jacket, coat and leather boots, leaving only her close-fitting white gauze dress. I lay in the quilt with her, holding her cold hands to spend the rest of my time.

"I felt much better after you acupuncture last time." Lu Ji said, "But I can't let you acupuncture for me anymore. This is harmful to my soul and will also fade my mana."

I felt that her words were as soft as her body, but cold.

Although I tried my best to resist the sleepy sleepiness, I fell asleep quietly in her soft voice. When I woke up again, she had already put on her clothes and warned me: "Let's hurry, you only bring the things you need, don't bring the bedding, and then when you reach the door, a taxi will stop beside you. Don't ask too much, just get in the car."

I agreed and started to get up, and she had already floated out of the room.

There was not much in the rental house. I only brought a set of changing clothes and put a few books I often read in my handbag, including "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other books. I saw that my quick knife was still on the table, and I packed it up and put it in my suit pocket. When I opened the door, a cold wind blew, which made me tremble.

It was still pitch black outside, so I locked the door with my bag and walked towards the street.

The street lights are still on, and occasionally a few night cars fly by.

Standing under the street light, I felt confused. A Geely taxi stopped beside me. Without asking any more, I opened the door and brought the package into the car.

After closing the door, the driver continued to drive and soon drove out of Luoyang City and rushed westward. At dawn, I returned home. As soon as my sister opened the door, she was very surprised to see me back and hurriedly invited me in.

"You rushed back overnight? Haven't you had breakfast yet?" My sister took my salute and began to ask.

I nodded and agreed. My parents had already gotten up and were preparing food and items for the New Year.

"I went there to inspect Chinese medicine." As I said, I took out the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Uncle Aliang looked at it and said, "I also have such a book at home, but it is different from yours. According to legend, the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo once came to our Donggou and found a holy medicine for treating burns here."
