Good Night, Mr. Ghost - Chapter 114
It was midnight.
The bright moon hung high.
The peak of this mountain range was shrouded in a dark aura.
Luo Yun led Jiang Chenyi and Brownish to the highest point of the mountains.
The three appeared there.
Suddenly, a crow the size of a human descended, clutching a snow-white rose in its beak, the rose glimmering with a strange sheen.
The crow transformed into human form, holding the rose in his hands.
“Young Master Jiang,” Wu Yi called softly.
Jiang Chenyi maintained his composure, smiling gently, “I’m here. By the way, Wu Yi, come over, I have something for you.”
“Alright.” Wu Yi handed the rose to Brownish and walked towards Jiang Chenyi.
Luo Yun held her sword, unconcerned.
The human took out a peculiar mirror from his bosom, the mirror was entirely golden, engraved with red cloud patterns, hexagonal in shape, with a small tassel hanging from it.
“This is for you,” Jiang Chenyi smiled, “I hope Wu Yi can understand what he truly needs in the future.”
“Okay.” The crow spirit didn’t say anything extra, simply agreeing.
Wu Yi took the mirror, looked at Jiang Chenyi, and said, “Young Master Jiang won’t die, right?”
Brownish had previously given them nothing but empty promises.
Whether they could be fulfilled was uncertain.
Brownish blinked, gently sniffing the rose in her hands.
The white rose was pure and innocent.
But Brownish was no longer so.
Jiang Chenyi looked at the crow spirit and suddenly laughed, “Anyone who wants to be my partner would never speak to me with honorifics.”
Speaking with honorifics to someone you like is just a hint that you’ll never be able to touch them in this lifetime, isn’t it?
Wu Yi was taken aback.
Luo Yun looked at him and said, “Your task is done, hurry up and leave.”
Anyone can be emotional.
Now this crow spirit was truly their biggest risk.
Brownish looked at the silent Wu Yi and also smiled, “Luo Yun, leave with him, you two supervise each other, don’t stay here.”
“Tsk.” Luo Yun held her sword and dragged Wu Yi away.
Now, only the two of them were left on the mountaintop.
Brownish held the rose in her hands, smiling at Jiang, “The offerings are complete, next, we just need the key.”
“What is the key?” Jiang wasn’t fazed, leisurely waiting.
The rabbit looked into the distance, “I don’t know, no one knows what the key is, only Bao’er the shopkeeper knows, it’s his.”
“Oh.” Jiang stood in place, looking at his mechanical watch.
It was already ten thirteen.
Brownish, who was she waiting for?
Jiang Chenyi, bored, started a conversation, “By the way, does Bai Lu know you’re doing this?”
“He doesn’t know, if Mr. Bai knew, he’d scold me.” The little rabbit showed a cute smile, very charming.
“Really, by the way, when did you start colluding with the other chiefs?”
“A long time ago, since the Alliance of Supernatural Beings was established, we’ve been plotting.”
“Why me? Because of the Eye of the Lunar Halo?” Jiang fiddled with the grass leaves on the ground.
Brownish looked at him, “Chenyi-Ge doesn’t know yet.”
“What should I know?”
The little rabbit smiled, very bitterly, “Chenyi-Ge is from the Jiang Family.”
She said, looking into the distance again, “A long time ago, Bao’er the shopkeeper knew that someone from the Jiang Family would inherit the lunar halo, and this person would be targeted. So, to protect him, Bao’er the shopkeeper sent that branch of the Jiang Family far from the main family.
And this matter was known to us, but even knowing it was useless, because there wasn’t enough spirit energy to make the lunar halo bloom.
We all wanted to give up, but unexpectedly, Meng Loudi appeared by your side, then became the catalyst for the lunar halo’s awakening.”
“Ha, so I almost died because of Meng Loudi, huh.” Jiang laughed helplessly.
Brownish nodded, “Yes.”
Jiang rubbed his chin, “Saying these things now doesn’t matter, it’s also because of him that I survived, after all, I still belong to Mr. Ghost.”
“Indeed.” Brownish said calmly.
“What do you mean?”
The little rabbit perhaps was truly idle, spilling all the secrets, “The Jiang Family is the main family of the Alliance of Supernatural Beings, continuing for a thousand years, Molin Town has always been the main family of the Jiang Family, bearing the responsibility of maintaining the relationship between the two clans. Hundreds of years ago, the Jiang Family used the coiled dragon jade ring to kill a reckless demon.
The coiled dragon jade ring housed a fierce ghost, with an extraordinary origin.
The Jiang Family used the coiled dragon jade ring, naturally owing the other party a favor, now, this favor is still owed, perhaps, Chenyi-Ge is that favor.”
Jiang Chenyi blinked, “I’ve heard this story, Wu Yi told me, the woman who spoke prophecy?”
“Yes.” Brownish looked at him, “Perhaps after today, more incredible beings will appear.”
With the opening of the spirit energy fountainhead, many things will undergo earth-shattering changes.
At least, for the supernatural beings, it will be so.
A small shadow flew from the horizon, leaping several times in the air, appearing before them.
Jiang Chenyi glanced at the time, eleven thirty-six.
Perhaps, a person who likes to arrive on time.
A small shadow landed on the ground, revealing a little girl in ancient attire, less than half a meter tall. Her round face resembled a glutinous rice dumpling, soft and sweet.
Lumina Mirror was holding a box, panting heavily, “Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up, or Bao’er-Ge will be here soon.”
Brownish looked at her, “How long can they hold them off?”
Lumina Mirror’s little face was stern, “That depends on Bao’er-Ge’s speed. Over a hundred hidden items, stuffed into the box and then locked, it should take about half an hour to finish. Quick, quick, quick! There’s no time!”
Brownish handed a rose to the man, took the box from Lumina Mirror, and said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any surprises.”
Lumina Mirror tugged at her sleeve, “What do you mean there won’t be any surprises! Do you even know what Prince Fu’an is? He’s not a normal existence, probably on par with the Jiang Family’s ancestors! And now, probably, Bai Lu and Prince Fu’an are already looking for us.”
“…Eek eek eek!!!” Brownish’s ears perked up.
Lumina Mirror was so anxious that tears were about to fall, “That’s what I’m saying, those guys aren’t even enough to deliver vegetables. If I had known, I would have planned better to make the prince a heinous villain, then whatever we do wouldn’t attract attention!”
Jiang stood aside, watching the two little girls chattering about why they didn’t think of a way to smear Meng Loudi.
Jiang Chenyi: “…”
So cute.
Brownish looked at the box, “This is the [key], right?”
“Yes, the time is almost up. We can now activate the formation.” Lumina Mirror was groping on the ground.
Brownish opened the box.
Inside was a small knife shaped like a crescent moon, with a handle made of jade and a blade that was clear, transparent glass, embedded with strange runes.
This was the [key], capable of opening the spirit energy fountainhead, the [key] to other worlds.
Jiang Chenyi watched the little girl groping on the ground, walked over, and asked, “Need help?”
Lumina Mirror was startled, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. You’re the backup. If I’m not enough, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Jiang Chenyi looked at the teary-eyed little girl and asked, “What are you planning to do?”
“To open the spirit energy fountainhead, we need three things: the [key], the flower, and the strange object. We have them all. We just need to open the formation around midnight.”
“And the formation?”
“The place where the black smoke is.” The little girl said.
Jiang Chenyi really started helping her find it, in this pitch-black place, without a phone, relying only on his hands to feel.
“Is it here?”
He felt a place under his hand emitting smoke and airflow.
Lumina Mirror leaned over, touched it, “Yes.”
Then she sat there, not speaking or moving.
Jiang Chenyi poked her little face and asked, “What’s wrong? Not happy? Let’s start soon.”
Lumina Mirror lifted her skirt and said, “Maybe all three of us will die.”
“No, we won’t die.” Jiang propped his chin, very calmly.
The yin-yang lumina mirror looked at him and said, “I always feel you’re remarkable. Is it because you’re a child of the Jiang Family?”
“Maybe, after all, our Jiang Family always produces talents.” Jiang said with a smile.
He held the flower, looking not at all like he was going to his death, but more like attending some high-end banquet.
Lumina Mirror muttered, “Anyway, we’re all going to die.”
Regardless of what the others thought, the fact that the three of them were here meant one thing: they were ready to die.
Lumina Mirror pulled the rose over and inserted it into the smoky place.
Strangely, despite the considerable airflow, the moment the rose was inserted, the airflow stopped.
The glowing rose stood firmly in place.
Then, for a moment, a great light erupted.
Centered on the white rose, a huge white halo rose from the ground, shooting straight into the sky.
Illuminating a piece of the dark night.
Jiang stood there, watching the light surrounding them, and exclaimed, “This is incredible.”
This formation almost encircled a mountain.
Brownish came over holding the key.
Lumina Mirror took out the saber from the box and cut her wrist.
Red blood oozed out, dripping onto the ground.
Jiang Chenyi watched her, amazed that red blood flowed out; he thought it would be something different.
Lumina Mirror watched her blood fall onto the rose and softly said, “I am the yin-yang lumina mirror, here to carry the Eye of the Lunar Halo, to open the eye of the heavens.”
With her words, a ripple of red spread out.
Jiang Chenyi’s eyes burst into dazzling light.
Jiang only felt that the world he saw, in that instant, turned white.
Completely, hollow, pure white.
Brownish took the saber, cut her wrist, and blood flowed profusely.
She smiled and said, “Since we’re doing this together, let’s die together.”
This was the responsibility of all of them, not something Lumina Mirror could bear alone.
Jiang Chenyi was now floating.
His whole body seemed to be suspended by invisible threads, in mid-air, like a dying bird.
Unable to even utter a final cry.
But he didn’t feel pain.
Only, something flowed from his eyes, his left eye, burning hot.
