The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 115

After handing the person over to the supernatural organization, Ji Mingxiao went to Xiang Ying’s hospital room.

Xiang Ying’s face turned pale when she saw Ji Mingxiao, and she instinctively backed away toward the bed. “What do you want?”

“So, you know that what you did would harm me.” Ji Mingxiao pulled up a chair and sat down. “I’ve already caught Han Zhao.”

Xiang Ying stiffened, staring at Ji Mingxiao.

“It’s not hard to guess who it was. I used to think Han Zhao was a smart person, but judging by his actions in seeking your cooperation, he’s quite foolish.”

“Did you just come here to humiliate me?”

“Not at all. I just want you to be more aware,” Ji Mingxiao said, pulling at the corners of her mouth and tapping the table. “This is the first and last time. Don’t let me catch you again. You want to hurt me? Do you know what evil arts are? Evil arts will backfire. Who it backfires on is something you can guess yourself.”

Ji Mingxiao’s voice was low. Xi Ruan flew over to Xiang Ying and blew a gust of ghostly wind.

Xiang Ying’s face turned white, and her eyes widened.

“Go back to school soon,” Ji Mingxiao said, looking at Xiang Ying.

Xiang Ying didn’t want to go back to school. The video of her had gone viral there, and everyone was guessing she had gone crazy. Although she explained that she had seen a ghost, no one believed her and they were all subtly advising her to get her head checked.

“You’re so bad,” Ji Mingxiao said, glancing at Xi Ruan.

“What did I do? I just blew a gust of wind. You’re the one who was threatening her,” Xi Ruan said, looking innocent.

System A let out a long sigh. “See? She used to be such a good girl. You’ve ruined her.”

The two took the subway back to the Qin family mansion.

Xi Ruan floated in mid-air, occasionally dodging a few wandering souls.

“I suddenly realized this is great. At least I don’t have to squeeze onto the subway.” Xi Ruan stayed in front of Ji Mingxiao. After she said this, she noticed many people could pass through her body. She frowned, then turned and sat on top of Ji Mingxiao, overlapping with her.

Ji Mingxiao raised an eyebrow and started typing on her phone.

“What’s wrong?”

“I feel strange,” Xi Ruan said, extending her hand and placing it on Ji Mingxiao’s.

A person not far away looked in Ji Mingxiao’s direction, his face pale. He then slowly moved closer.

Ji Mingxiao raised an eyebrow, looking at the person standing in front of her. “Can I help you?”

“Miss… there’s something unclean following you.”

Xi Ruan: “…”

Ji Mingxiao blinked. “Huh?”

“It’s true! It’s… it’s a ghost. I know many powerful masters. How about I introduce one to you?”

Some people nearby, who had been listening, put down their phones and stared at him.

“I’m not a fraud.”

Someone next to them couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“People still believe in this stuff now?”

The person standing in front of Ji Mingxiao remained serious and ignored their comments.

“To be honest, I am a master,” Ji Mingxiao said with a smile.

The people next to them laughed again, assuming Ji Mingxiao was deliberately teasing him.

The man frowned.

“I’m not kidding. If someone has an unclean thing following them for a long time, something bad will happen.”

“My last name is Qin.”

The man was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized. “Oh, so you can see them too? Then please explain for me, I’m not crazy!”

“There’s nothing that needs explaining, and there’s no need for you to go around telling everyone. If an evil spirit is following someone, it’s probably because of some wrongdoing they’ve committed. If it’s not an evil spirit, it most likely won’t cause harm, so it’s not a big deal.”

The people next to them gave Ji Mingxiao another look, and their expressions changed.

“Do you scammers have to perform a skit on the subway for your promotions now?”

Ji Mingxiao smiled at the man. “I’m not a fraud, and I won’t give you my contact information.”

The man was taken aback.

The subway arrived at the station.

Ji Mingxiao stood up, ready to leave, but she couldn’t help herself from adding, “Also, she’s not an unclean thing.”

Xi Ruan smiled and followed Ji Mingxiao out of the station.

“I feel like I should just stay in the jade pendant when we’re in crowded places from now on.”

“It’s not really necessary. After all, this kind of situation is rare.”

The Qin family had already received the news.

The grudge between the Qin family and Han Zhao had been building for many years, and the fact that it was resolved so easily left everyone with a sense of unreality.

However, everything with Mount Ling had yet to be resolved.

That night, Ji Mingxiao received a message.

It was from a stranger.

Just one sentence.

[The annoying person has been dealt with. Now it’s a war between us.]

Ji Mingxiao’s face instantly grew grim.

Holding her phone tightly, Xian Yu also received the same message.

“Does this person watch too many TV shows?” Xi Ruan asked, looking at the message.

“Maybe.”

Ji Mingxiao took a deep breath and hinted to Officer Zhou that something might happen soon.

Sure enough, her premonition was accurate.

At midnight that same day, another horrific incident occurred at an abandoned factory, affecting over 30 people.

It was a large-scale evil cult gathering. When they were discovered, all 30-odd people were lying on the ground, their spiritual energy drained by evil spirits and their blood sucked dry by insects. The scene was horrifying, and all their souls had vanished.

When Ji Mingxiao arrived, she immediately put Xi Ruan back into the jade pendant.

Although her speed was fast enough, Xi Ruan still saw it. Luckily, she didn’t eat food anymore, so there was nowhere for her to vomit.

In addition to the Qin family members, many others from various sects and schools were present.

Monks sat on the ground chanting scriptures to disperse the negative energy.

Ji Mingxiao’s face was very grave.

She realized that this person was a sociopath.

Xian Yu stood at the entrance and didn’t enter, his expression normal. The two exchanged a look.

Ji Mingxiao walked over to Xian Yu.

“You’ll get used to it,” Xian Yu said to Ji Mingxiao. “I’ve seen even more brutal methods. Those people believe they have detached themselves from the scope of AI and think they are superior, so they don’t value human lives.”

Ji Mingxiao glanced at the corpses on the ground, which were being handled by forensic specialists.

The local police chief’s face was grim. Although they knew it was the work of malevolent spirits, they couldn’t write that in the report. With over 30 people involved, it would be impossible to keep it a secret. It would definitely hit the news, and explaining it would be a huge headache.

“How far does he intend to go?”

“To completely destroy this world,” Xian Yu said, narrowing his eyes. “We need to catch him faster.”

Although the police kept things under wraps, the news still leaked out the next day.

The victims’ families and reporters surrounded the police station.

Since so many people were involved, someone had even taken photos of the corpses. These pictures caused a huge uproar online. Although the police contacted the websites and had the photos deleted quickly, they had already been saved and spread privately.

This time, significantly more people believed in the ghost story.

Afterward, Xiang Ying came forward and said that she had genuinely seen a ghost. Xiang Ying had a unique identity as an A University student, and people online were already connecting the events.

Ji Mingxiao could only say that people’s imaginations were wild.

She contacted various supernatural associations across the country, asking them to pay attention to local developments. Then, she represented the Qin family at the K City Supernatural Conference.

The main topic of discussion at this conference was these recent events.

Since it was K City, the focus was naturally on Mount Ling and the abandoned factory incident.

“We can contact the A City branch. The three incidents are likely the work of the same organization,” Ji Mingxiao said. “According to the information Qin Xiu provided, they might continue to create more corpse forests, and it’s highly likely to be in the vicinity of K City.”

Although Ji Mingxiao was the youngest person at the conference, as the representative of the Qin family and a future pillar of the supernatural world, she was given due respect.

“I propose we set up nine major formations throughout K City to track the opponent’s movements. These nine formations will then combine into one large formation, covering the entire city.”

Everyone was stunned.

“Are you kidding? Do you know how big K City is? Seven districts, over 5,000 square kilometers,” one person said with a frown. “Miss Qin, don’t be so naive.”

“Why can’t it be done?” Ji Mingxiao took out a city map she had already prepared. “These buildings can all be part of the formation.”

“The risk is too great,” Master Huiyin said with a frown. “It’s better to be cautious.”

“It’s better to take a risk. If we’re fast, the formations can be completed in three days. We have to find our opponent before they act again. If everyone just walks around with a compass, we’ll need people on duty 24 hours a day. Even with shifts, that’s too exhausting. If something really happens, who will have the energy to fight?”

“Besides, we don’t have that many people.”

Ji Mingxiao said, “I’ve already designed all the formations. You just need to follow my arrangements.”

“Miss Qin? Aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?” Yu Ming said with a frown. She really disliked the Qin family, especially this young girl.

“If showing my abilities is considered arrogant, then there’s nothing more to say.” Ji Mingxiao tapped the table, glancing at everyone present. “I’ve already communicated with the police, and they have agreed.”

“Let’s vote. If you disagree with my proposal, you can suggest a better method to counter me,” Ji Mingxiao said, leaning back in her chair. “If you don’t have a better plan and are just trying to refute me, then I’ll go back to A City, and you can handle the rest yourselves.”

“Miss Qin, are you threatening us?”

“No, I just think that they don’t need me here. I need to go to a place that does.” Ji Mingxiao smiled.

In the end, a vote was held, and 80% of the people agreed with Ji Mingxiao’s plan.

The time for setting up the formations was set, and the areas of responsibility for each family were assigned. Ji Mingxiao was the overall leader.
