Doctor Jiang suddenly realized that it was a good thing when the xuan cat appeared nearby, so he didn’t need to worry anymore.

He even thought about it and came up with a bold idea. “I haven’t raised a cat yet. Do you think I can raise it?”

The location of his animal clinic was very good, and his skills were also very good, and so the animal clinic’s business was brisk. Many new lives were born here, and many lives died here.

Hearing what An Rugu said earlier, he became a little scared.

And that cat looked really intelligent, as if it could communicate with people, which made him feel quite good about it.

An Rugu shook her head slowly, “I have no control over it. You can communicate with it when the time comes. If it is willing, it will naturally live in your home. But I think that is unlikely. This cat looks very wild. Most likely it won’t ever become a domestic cat.”

Dr. Jiang felt a little disappointed when he heard this. He was completely different from the one who was afraid of black cats before. “Well, that’s a pity.”

“Cats are wild and untamable, they are free creatures, and living in nature is a good thing.”

Dr. Jiang came to his senses and also nodded, “I understand.”

Because it was a long way back to the Daoist Temple, An Rugu did not go back immediately. She rested one night at the animal clinic with Shang Yue and was ready to leave at dawn the next day.

Dr. Jiang gave An Rugu a red envelope as the cost of exorcising evil spirits.

An Rugu did not refuse—after all, she also spent a lot of time in this town.

Just as she and Shang Yue were about to leave, her phone suddenly rang. She opened it and found that it was a call from her former roommate, Zhang Xia.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Xia’s panicked voice came from the other side, “An Rugu, are you in Nancheng now?”

“Here, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Xia breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard this and finally relaxed a little. “My younger brother seems to have encountered a ghost. I’m so scared. Can you come and help me? I really don’t know who to look for. I can only look to you for help.”

It was also the first time that Zhang Xia encountered this kind of thing, so she was scurrying around like a headless fly. The elders in the family were also very worried. When they were all at a loss, Zhang Xia suddenly remembered their chat with An Rugu a few days ago, so she asked An Rugu for help as if holding a life-saving rope.

“Where are you? I’ll go right now,” An Rugu asked, holding on to her overnight bag, her cold eyebrows becoming sharper.

The address Zhang Xia gave An Rugu was Dongfeng Town No. 3 High School. By fate or happenstance, An Rugu was in Dongfeng Town right now.

She changed her destination and took a taxi with Shang Yue directly to Dongfeng Town No. 3 High School.

The No. 3 High School was quite close to Dr. Jiang’s clinic, and it only took twenty minutes by taxi.

Zhang Xia had her arms crossed and was pacing anxiously in front of the gates, looking left and right.

An Rugu has cool, pale skin; a cold temperament; long legs and long neck; and was as unstained as an aloof white crane. Shang Yue next to her looked beautiful, and the two of them held the attention of the whole crowd.

Zhang Xia saw her through the crowd at a glance and her eyes lit up. She quickly walked to An Rugu and exclaimed, “You are here!”

Once good friends were reunited after a long absence, logically speaking, they should want to reminisce about the past.

However, An Rugu had no intention of making idle small talk and went straight to the point. “What’s going on with your brother?”

Hearing this, Zhang Xia looked troubled and led her inside the school. “My brother is in his dormitory. I will take you to see him.”

An Rugu hmmed and walked side by side with Zhang Xia into Dongfeng Town No. 3 High School.

As soon as she stepped into the school gates, An Rugu felt something. She looked ahead and paused briefly.

The No. 3 High School in Dongfeng Town has good academic ranking. It was well constructed and had many tall buildings. However, one of the buildings was now surrounded by a faint yin qi.

Zhang Xia spewed the anxiety and bitterness in her heart while guiding An Rugu, “No. 3 High School is far away from our home, so for convenience, my brother lives on campus. He has three roommates. I have seen these three people in their dormitory, and they all looked healthy before this.

“But last weekend, my brother called me and told me that one of their roommates suddenly collapsed and was now in the ICU. After I heard about it, I thought it was because his roommate had a sudden illness. A few days later, my brother called me again and said that another roommate of his also collapsed suddenly and was also sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Both are now still in the ICU.

“I thought maybe they had some contagious disease, so I asked my brother repeatedly about what happened. My brother was in a panic and couldn’t speak clearly. It was only after I managed to calm him down a little that he told me that they might be possessed by evil spirits.

“As for why he suspected this, he was hesitant and unwilling to say more.

“I didn’t really believe in gods and ghosts at first, but when I saw your divination livestream a few days ago, I felt very strange when I thought about my brother’s situation, so I wanted to ask you to find out what’s going on.”

An Rugu pinched her chin thoughtfully and frowned, her brows beautiful, “Two of his roommates suddenly collapsed; they couldn’t find out the cause?”

“Yes, no one could find out the reason.” Zhang Xia hugged her arms and felt cold all over, “They just suddenly went into shock, and both are still in a coma. The doctor said that if they still don’t wake up, it’s possible they would go into a vegetative state. This matter is so strange, I’ve never heard of such a terrible virus.”

An Rugu thought of the hint of yin she had seen earlier and had a vague suspicion in her heart, but she didn’t say much and followed Zhang Xia to the dormitory building.

She looked up at the structure, thinking that, sure enough, the place where Zhang Xia’s brother lived was where the yin qi was.
