Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 394: The Weak Remnant Soul

The voice was eerie, it was a female ghost. No, it wasn't even a ghost, because it couldn't even show its shape. It was just a residual soul at best, and its attack power was almost negligible, very weak.

Moreover, after the attack of the talisman paper just now, this remnant soul was weakened a little. If it happened two more times, or if she attacked with all her strength once, I am afraid that this remnant soul would really be torn to pieces.

"Who were you in your lifetime?"

Si He asked indifferently.

"Who am I...Who am I..."

After hearing Si He's question, the remnant soul repeated the words, as if recalling, or asking, as if he had forgotten who he was.

Si He was not surprised by this. After all, it was already a residual soul, so it was normal for it to have incomplete memories.

However, despite this, its resentment still exists, and it is this resentment that supports this residual soul and prevents it from dissipating.

The reason why ghosts exist is because they have obsessions or deep resentment in their hearts, so they linger and refuse to enter reincarnation.

Perhaps, this remnant soul was a pitiful person in his lifetime.

Si He couldn't help but feel a little pity. After all, this remnant soul hadn't provoked her, and judging by the situation, she probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of it for the time being. "Just be quiet and stay here, and I won't hurt you."

But it seemed to be in a state of confusion, somewhat stubbornly, and kept repeating, "Who am I..."

Si He had no choice but to raise her tone, even with a hint of murderous intent, and threatened: "Be quiet!"

The remnant soul seemed to wake up immediately and stopped making any sound.

She then repeated, "If you stay still, I won't hurt you."

"Thanks……"

It uttered a low sound, and then slowly floated back to the beam. From beginning to end, there was no trace of its figure, not even mist. It was just a transparent existence.

But it's quite polite to say thank you.

Si He looked at the beam and vaguely felt that a ball of yin energy was condensed on the beam.

Seeing that it was indeed obedient and posed no threat, she withdrew her gaze, ignored it, and took out the bone bead from her pocket.

The bluish-white bone bead was as smooth as jade. After careful sensing, she could vaguely feel the approximate direction indicated by the bone bead. The sense was much weaker, and it was obvious that Yue Fuli had gone far away.

She held the bone bead, thinking for a while, then put it back and took out a brocade bag.

The brocade bag contained maps, including drawings of the Yangjing Land and official maps that she had stolen from the government office before.

She opened the official map, which only showed a small part of the region and was not complete, but it did show the direction of some rivers outside the Tianshan Mountains.

One of the rivers is located in Zhongzhou. If she has the chance, she can go and find out if there are any strange things happening near the river.

It is possible that Momo drifted out from the underground river in Tianshan Mountain, or there may be other reasons why it did not return to Tianshan Mountain.

Momo's body is not small. If it had appeared near the river, it would have attracted a lot of people's attention. As long as there was news, she would have a chance to find it.

She hoped that it was just drifting safely outside and not trapped in that deep underground river, otherwise she would be powerless to do anything.

Of course, she directly blocked the other bad guess.

She looked at the map for a while, sighed lightly, then packed up her things, lay down on the bed and rest for a while.

In the blink of an eye, it was soon evening.

When Si He got up, Hongdou came over with a food box.

"Miss, it's time for dinner."

Hongdou placed the food on the table. The dishes were simple, consisting of green vegetables, tofu and egg drop soup. The rice was also relatively rough, looking like something for servants to eat, not something a lady should eat.

Si He sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and gently fiddled with the food. She asked, "Did you go get the meal?"

Hongdou said with a bitter face, "No, the maid guarding the gate brought the food box and didn't let me go to the kitchen to get it."

Those two maids, to put it nicely, were serving people, but they were more like guarding prisoners, bringing food and drinks on a regular basis, and always having reasons not to let people go out. They would not even set foot in the yard. Hongdou had asked them to help with the cleaning before, but they found excuses to shirk their responsibilities, which was really infuriating.

Si He was not surprised by this. She poured half of the rice into an empty bowl and said to Hong Dou, "Eat some first."

Hongdou was a little stunned, but seeing her expression and actions, she quickly realized, "You want me to taste the food?"

She responded indifferently, "Yeah."

Hearing this, Hongdou immediately became angry, "Don't forget, you are not my real master! Don't go too far!"

Si He raised the corner of her lips slightly, "So what? Do you think you'll become more powerful now that you're in the Guo family?"

"You!" Hongdou's face turned slightly red with anger, but she just refused to eat and seemed to be disobedient.

Si He added, "If you threaten me, you'll never have a good outcome. If you don't take it, don't blame me for being rude."

Although Hongdou was a little annoyed, she hesitated for a while, then sat down, picked up her chopsticks, ate her rice angrily, and then picked up some more dishes to eat.

After a long while, seeing that she was fine, Si He began to eat slowly.

The two of them ate in silence. During the meal, Hongdou occasionally glanced at Si He. She really didn't understand what her purpose was in coming to the Guo family.

After eating their fill and putting down their bowl and chopsticks, Hongdou couldn't help but ask, "What on earth do you want to do at the Guo family?"

Si He took out a handkerchief, wiped her mouth, looked at Hong Dou, and said, "Knowing too much is not a good thing."

Hongdou suddenly shut up, pursed her lips, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Si He then added, "You'd better not do anything, otherwise—I will kill you."

She said it lightly, but there was a clear threat in her words.

Hearing this, Hongdou's pupils shrank and a look of horror appeared on her face. She didn't expect her to say it so bluntly.

"I know, I know."

Hongdou agreed honestly.

"Let them prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."

"it is good."

Hongdou cleaned up the dishes and left the house.

Si He looked thoughtfully in the direction Hong Dou had left. After a while, she raised her head to look at the beams not far away, staring at the invisible ball of evil energy, and asked, "A remnant soul like you needs to feed on human souls to grow stronger, right?"

The remnant soul probably didn't expect her to speak to it suddenly, and its reaction was a step too slow. After a long while, it whispered: "Yes... But ordinary people's souls are too strong. I can't catch them anymore..."

It spoke slowly, one word at a time, and its voice was low and faint. If people heard it, they would find it creepy and scary, but those who understood would know that this remnant soul was really weak.

Perhaps, the reason why it escaped the disaster before was because it was too weak. When the yin energy dissipated, it was able to blend with the surroundings, making it difficult to detect. After all, this house is full of yin energy.

Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "I'll give you a chance."
