PFC Chapter 176 You're About to Be Frightened
Chapter 176 You're About to Be Frightened
"What did my parents do to make that person want to kill me?" Rong Yu had a feeling that what his parents did must be related to him.
Just like Yi Qu who was harmed like this before us, it was because he lost his sight that his parents went to extremes.
Yi Qu was quite clear about this matter. "That person was also the family member of one of the previous cornea donors. Your parents gave them some money, but he was greedy and felt that the amount was not enough, so he wanted to blackmail your mother. In a rage, she sent people to beat up the couple. His wife was in poor health to begin with, and after being beaten, she spent all the money she got into the hospital. In the end, the patient could not be saved..."
In the final analysis, that man deserved it. If he had not been greedy and had not offended Liu Qi, who did not care about human life at all, his wife would not have died.
After his wife died, he still did not repent and sneaked into the Rong family to kill Rong Yu.
Yi Qu understood his mentality of letting Liu Qi lose the most important person since he couldn't deal with her, but he should never have set his sights on Rong Yu.
"Did you kill him?" Yan Muhuai asked Yi Qu.
Rong Yu also looked at Yi Qu's back nervously.
Although he knew that Yi Qu did all this for him, it did not prevent him from feeling that Yi Qu, who killed people at will, was terrible.
"I didn't kill him. It was a ghost I knew who happened to have a grudge against him, so I lent him some ghost energy so that he could avenge his grudge and be reincarnated." Yi Qu said with some sarcasm, "It's not that easy for a ghost to kill someone. Even if I'm an evil ghost, I can't just kill whenever I want. Otherwise, Rong Yu and I wouldn't be like this now."
Indeed, there are many restrictions on ghosts killing people. Apart from normal revenge, ghosts who kill innocent people indiscriminately will lose the chance to reincarnate as humans and will be caught and taken to the underworld where they will receive the punishment they deserve.
Whether in the world of the living or the world of the dead, there are corresponding legal systems.
But in order to save Rong Yu, Yi Qu could be said to have done anything. Both they, a man and a ghost, were so weak that they could hardly hold on, but he still insisted on his bottom line and did not kill innocent people to gain power. This seemed a little unreasonable.
Then he combined what Yi Qu had just said with the ghosts he had helped before.
Their powers all seemed pitifully weak, and most of them couldn't even avenge themselves without outside help.
From the very beginning, he seemed to have overlooked an important issue...
"You didn't kill people to gain power, not because you didn't want to, but because you couldn't?" Although Yan Muhuai was asking a question, he knew in his heart that this was the correct answer.
Yi Qu nodded gently, "Yes, as an evil ghost, my power can only be used for revenge. For people who have no grudges against me, even if they have done all kinds of evil things, I cannot kill them directly. At most, I can release a little evil spirit to make them sick and unlucky. But real evil people will not be killed by a little evil spirit. The evil thoughts in their hearts can drive away the evil spirit."
“So this world is so harsh on ghosts?” Yan Muhuai is a ghost cultivator, not a real ghost, so he cannot feel the suppression of ghosts by this world.
If he hadn't talked about this with Yi Qu today, he wouldn't have realized how ridiculous it was that he was on guard against evil spirits hurting people.
"Yeah." Yi Qu laughed at himself. "When I was a human, I felt that everything was difficult. When I became a ghost, I found that this world is too biased towards humans, especially those evil people. No wonder some people say that hell is empty and the demons are in the human world. Ghosts are not as scary as human hearts."
Yan Muhuai did not discuss with Yi Qu the unfairness of the world's rules towards ghosts for the time being.
He was more concerned about another question, "You can lend your power to other ghosts to avenge them. What benefits will you get after the ghosts take revenge?"
"Benefits?" Yi Qu thought for a moment, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but after I helped that ghost, the ghost energy I lent out seemed to have returned a little."
What this means is that even though he didn't kill anyone himself, he gained power by helping other ghosts.
After hearing this, Yan Muhuai had an idea in mind.
He stood up again and walked in front of Yi Qu. "You still have a lot of ghost energy stored in this orchid. Collect some of it first. Are you planning to never see Rong Yu again?"
Yi Qu's face showed a painful expression, but he still shook his head, "No, I can't use it. He can't hold on for much longer."
Rong Yu's condition took a turn for the worse, not because he was haunted by the ghost Yi Qu, but because his life had already ended.
Yi Qu has been using ghost energy to prolong his life, but he is a human being after all, and will definitely be affected by the ghost energy. In addition, Yi Qu consumed a lot of ghost energy to save him, so both the man and the ghost don't have much time left.
As for why Rong Yu looked much better when Rong Jin was at home, it was because the evil spirit on Rong Jin's body would drive away the ghost spirit on him. As a human body, without the ghost spirit entangled him, his complexion would definitely look much better.
To put it simply, Yi Qu was using ghost energy to maintain Rong Yu's life with great difficulty. As soon as Rong Jin returned home, his body instinctively mobilized its physical potential and quickly burned his life within a few days. As soon as Rong Jin left, Yi Qu had to consume more ghost energy to keep Rong Yu alive. His strength could not be recovered once it was consumed, so Rong Yu's condition naturally became worse and worse.
Fortunately, Rong Jin didn’t go home very often, otherwise Yi Qu wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.
"So the longer my brother stays at home, the faster I will die?" Rong Yu asked.
Then his parents' behavior of trying every possible means to trick Rong Jin into being at home was really clownish.
It was Yan Muhuai who answered Rong Yu's question, "Yes, he stayed at home a little too long this time. He can only live until sunrise tomorrow at most."
When he said this, he was looking at Yi Qu in front of him.
When Rong Yu heard this, his body trembled, but he did not say any words of complaint.
After listening to what Yan Muhuai said to Yi Qu, he of course knew that he should have died long ago. Living until now was all a blessing. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Instead, Yi Qu, with two bloody holes on his face, looked at Yan Muhuai and knelt on his knees, begging, "No, his brother is gone now. As long as you can stop him from coming back, or help me take Rong Yu away from the Rong family, I can save him. I will definitely find a way to save him."
Yan Muhuai shook his head, "Why should I help you do so many things? Besides, what ability do you have to save him? You don't even have the ghost energy to maintain your appearance now. In a while, not only these eyes, but also your appearance will become like a tiger bitten..."
He is a powerful evil ghost, but he makes himself worse than an ordinary ghost who just died.
Although Yan Muhuai's tone was heartless, the expression on his face was very gentle, but Yi Qu was a blind ghost now and couldn't see it at all.
He was afraid that Rong Yu behind him would feel distressed, so he hurriedly interrupted Yan Muhuai's words, "There is still some ghost energy in the Suguan Lotus Cauldron, which can at least allow Rong Yu to live for another day. During this day, I can go find those ghosts with weaker powers. After I lend my power to them to avenge them, I can regain strength and come back to save Rong Yu."
"If you lend out your ghost energy again, Yi Qu will be killed before the power comes back." Yan Muhuai ruthlessly exposed Yi Qu's lie.
