The three of us ran to Gao Erhu’s house. When we arrived, we saw that his wife was awake. Contrary to our expectations, she didn’t look to be in bad condition, nor was she dying! 

There was a small puddle of blood on the floor. It looked like the spirit was here already. 

I looked around the house but didn’t see Gao Erhu. “Ma’am, where’s Gao Erhu?” 

The woman didn’t answer. Instead, she looked at us suspiciously. Her eyes flashed with guilt. “Who are you?”  

Did she deceive Gao Erhu or something? Or did this couple deceive us? 

Either way, Gao Erhu was missing, and I didn’t have time to consider the possibilities. I gave the woman a disdainful glance, saying, “Ma’am, I’m here to save Erhu. You’d better tell me where he’s gone, or you’ll regret it!” 

“He’s telling the truth. Ma’am, this is a powerful master! Erhu asked him to come to your house to capture a ghost.” Baldy walked forward, talking to the woman. 

The woman’s hesitation was evident from her expression as she looked at us. After a long moment, she burst out crying. “I don’t know what happened to Erhu. He rushed into the backyard and sharpened his knife. He’s gone to kill Hou San’er.” 

“What? Killing someone?”...
