Chapter 1990 - 1988: Unfulfilled Wish
Chapter 1990: Chapter 1988: Unfulfilled Wish
This terrifying woman has no chance to cause trouble anymore; she has completely disappeared, and both East City District and West City District are clean now.
The old black cat swiftly ran to the side of the old spirit body; it has its own way of communicating with him.
It quickly explained everything, of course, making sure that the old spirit body recognized its favor, because Gu Qiaoqiao was the one it invited to rescue him.
Although the old spirit body doesn’t care much about these things, this person and cat indeed saved him, so he must express thankfulness.
"Thank you."
The old spirit body’s voice was eerie, sounding rather ancient.
Gu Qiaoqiao casually replied, "No need to thank me. I had been searching for this woman for a long time. I should thank the old black cat for the information."
The old black cat was delighted, unexpectedly discovering that it had helped Gu Qiaoqiao, which implied that perhaps it could receive protection from the clergyman in the future?
It just learned that people like the little fairy also have another name—clergyman.
Wow, female priest!
It sounds so impressive. Oh, if it could be under the protection of the clergyman, what would it be like? It dares not to imagine.
The old black cat fantasized joyfully, while Xiao Bai already deciphered its thoughts, feeling quite disdainful as it slapped the old cat to the ground, leaving it completely defenseless.
Gu Qiaoqiao was speechless; Xiao Bai’s territorial consciousness was too strong, even though she wasn’t its real master, she was still drawn into its territory.
Amused but helpless, she softly said, "Xiao Bai, stop fooling around."
She then looked towards the confused old spirit body, its face blurry, only identifiable as a man likely over fifty years old.
However, she asked, "Do you remember who you are? How long have you existed as a spirit body? Is there any unresolved concern or someone who harmed you?"
The old spirit body hesitated briefly and slowly shook its head, "I don’t know, I remember nothing."
"I can help you recall your past, but it requires your consent."
The old spirit body was startled, then a glimmer of excitement flashed through its confused eyes.
Yes, how did it form?
Where did it come from?
This little girl surprisingly possesses such a skill, which is its fortune. If it truly can recall its past, wouldn’t it cease to be dazed?
It quickly nodded, "Okay, I agree. Please help me, clergyman."
Gu Qiaoqiao was waiting for this response because such a spirit body is solid but lacks ambition and malice, making it likely prey for other powerful evil spirits.
For instance, someone like Lin Qinghuan; although unable to devour him for now, once her ability strengthens slightly, she definitely would.
Furthermore, there is a saying—to settle vengeance and repay grudges.
If it recalls its past and fulfills its wishes, such a spirit body should reincarnate if possible.
Gu Qiaoqiao drew a talisman in the air, then a beam of light struck the old spirit body’s forehead.
It took only a few seconds, but for the old spirit body, it seemed decades had passed.
It recalled everything.
It froze for a moment, then stood dazedly, seemingly bitterly smiling yet also appearing relieved, with a hint of puzzlement.
Except, there was no pain or anger.
Gu Qiaoqiao was curious as well.
However, the old spirit body did not speak, and she dared not ask.
Subsequently, the old spirit body drifted toward the basement exit.
Gu Qiaoqiao exchanged a glance with Xiao Bai, then followed along with the two cats.
The old spirit body was already standing in the outer open area when Gu Qiaoqiao reached its side, noticing its gaze was directed to the right.
Its emotions were complex, sadness, nostalgia, and sorrow, flashing briefly.
This is someone capable of controlling emotions well.
It seemed to be an extraordinary person when alive.
Gu Qiaoqiao had to turn invisible again, yet the old spirit body could still see her.
She planned to send it to reincarnation, and with the Merit Light, it surely would have a good life.
At this moment, it was already past ten at night, with occasional cars and motorcycles passing by the road in the distance.
Some night shift workers hurriedly heading home.
Yet, no one glanced their way, suggesting as long as Gu Qiaoqiao remained invisible, this place essentially remained an old building awaiting demolition.
Gu Qiaoqiao heard the old spirit body sighing.
But she couldn’t stay here long, so Gu Qiaoqiao asked, "Old man, you seem to know my identity and ability. Now that you’ve remembered, is there any unfulfilled wish I can help with?"
The old spirit body mumbled, "Unfulfilled wish?"
"Yes."
"I..." He hesitated briefly before he suddenly looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, gently saying, "Clergyman, if my wishes are fulfilled, can I leave then?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, that’s right."
Then she heard him sigh in relief, pleased with such a result.
"While I was alive, I accomplished all that needed doing and wanted doing. Now, I only worry about my family. I want to see if they are doing well now."
"Will you go on your own, or should I take you?"
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know where his home was, nor if the old spirit body wanted her to know his identity.
After all, he still hadn’t mentioned his name.
"Clergyman, please take me. Although my home isn’t far, I can’t leave this area on my own, so I trouble you, clergyman."
The old spirit’s voice carried respect.
In life, these things might have been unbelievable to him; in death, losing memory as a spirit body, only to recall now, he had to admit there were indeed mysterious elements in this world.
Moreover, someone like Gu Qiaoqiao exists.
Therefore, spirits naturally hold a sense of reverence towards clergymen, capable of suppressing them.
Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t delay; with a flick of her finger, spiritual energy enveloped the old spirit body, whose furrowed brows gradually relaxed, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao with gratitude.
This little girl, so young yet so capable.
The car parked in the corner; Xiao Bai and the old black cat boarded.
The old spirit body looked somewhat nostalgic but understood it was late and couldn’t waste the clergyman’s time.
It boarded as well.
Gu Qiaoqiao drove, heading towards the direction he indicated.
Driving on, Gu Qiaoqiao felt something seemed off.
This direction...
Her heart skipped a beat, unconsciously turning to look at the old spirit body again.
Unfortunately, its face remained indistinct.
