"I... I... asked the master to check the Feng Shui... to see if you're in the room."

I immediately realized that I had let something slip.

"I went to the bathroom. Feng Shui?" Xiaojing chuckled, "Is there something wrong with the Feng Shui of this house?"

"No... no... I haven't been able to find a good job all this time, so I wanted the master to give me some guidance on how to improve my financial luck."

"Really? I also want to improve my financial luck. I haven't won the lottery once recently." Xiaojing looked at Master Huang.

Master Huang stared at Xiaojing intently.

At this time, the barrage was flying.

【She's so beautiful, she can't possibly be a ghost.】

【I also want to move in. Do you accept roommates?】

【Uh-oh, I've been discovered.】

【Master, please protect me.】

...

Xiaojing was confused, "What are they talking about, some kind of ghost?"

I had to turn off the screen, "It's nothing, they say that about everyone they see. I'll go back to my room first."

I quickly returned to my room, opened the screen, and reconnected with Master Huang.

Master Huang looked very serious, "Little girl, you are in great danger now. Your roommate is a resurrected corpse. You must follow my instructions step by step, or your life will be in jeopardy."

I was confused, and it seemed that the situation was very serious. "What should I do?"

"Quickly take a picture of the link number eight, fill in the address, a total of eight thousand eight. We're in the same city, and I can come to your place to get rid of the ghost. Otherwise, your life is at stake."

I almost cursed out loud. How could he ask me to take his link after just a few words, and it costs eight thousand eight?

If I had money, would I still live in this kind of run-down house?

Could it be a scam?

He began to explain to me.

The so-called resurrected corpse is a person who, when on the verge of death, consumes a special soup made from a resurrection herb.

After drinking the soup, the person enters a state of resurrection between life and death, even if they suffer from a serious illness, they can live for seven days and seven nights.

During these seven days, a highly skilled skinning technician is needed to peel off every bit of their skin.

Then, someone of the same gender and age is found to peel off their skin and apply it to the resurrected corpse's body.

Wait for the new skin and body to completely heal, and the resurrected corpse can be reborn.

However, because the skin and body do not belong to the same person, in order to counteract the rejection between the two, the resurrected corpse needs to drink the blood of the original skin owner every week.

"Did you notice just now that your roommate didn't blink her eyes at all? That's because her skin lacks elasticity, and her eyelids can't close at all. If I'm not mistaken, she has been using a lot of skincare products recently, right?"

I felt confused. Xiaojing did use a lot of skincare products recently, but how did he know that?

But can we conclude that Xiaojing has a problem just based on this? I heard that scams are getting more and more sophisticated recently, and I couldn't make up my mind.

At this time, the barrage also started to provoke.

【This person is taking the bait!】

【The scarier it sounds, the more people believe it.】

【Oh my god, scared me to death. I was watching from under the blanket.】

【Master is going to make a big fortune again!】

【Look how fair-skinned that girl is. Could she really be a ghost?】

I hesitated, "Let me think about it."

Master Huang said,

"Little girl, it's dangerous if you don't believe me. You may lose your life tonight. Did you notice that the resurrected corpse didn't have any color in her eyes? Probably because her skinlacks blood circulation. This is a clear sign that she is a resurrected corpse. You need to act quickly to protect yourself."

I was torn between skepticism and fear. Should I believe Master Huang's words and take action, or should I dismiss it as a scam and continue with my daily life?

While I was contemplating, Xiaojing knocked on my door.

"Hey, are you okay? You've been in your room for a while."

I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Master Huang's warnings echoed in my mind, urging me to be cautious.

"I... I'm not feeling well. I think I caught a cold. I'll just rest for a bit," I replied, hoping to buy some time.

Xiaojing seemed concerned, "Oh no, you should take care of yourself. Let me know if you need anything. I can make you some soup."

Her offer seemed genuine, but according to Master Huang, she needed to consume the blood of the original skin owner to sustain herself. The thought sent shivers down my spine.

"No, it's fine. I'll rest and drink some hot water. Thank you, Xiaojing," I said, trying to sound grateful while maintaining my distance.

As Xiaojing walked away, I quickly resumed my conversation with Master Huang.

"Master Huang, Xiaojing just offered to make me soup. Should I accept it? Could it be dangerous?"

Master Huang's voice grew urgent, "Absolutely not! Do not consume anything she offers you. It might be laced with her blood, and that could be fatal. You must stay away from her."

His words sent a chill down my spine, and I felt a growing sense of unease. The situation was becoming increasingly bizarre, and I couldn't shake off the fear that lingered in the back of my mind.

"What should I do, Master Huang? I'm scared," I admitted, my voice quivering.

"Don't worry, I'll guide you through this. First, you need to gather some evidence. Take photos or record videos of any suspicious behavior exhibited by Xiaojing. This will help me assess the situation better," Master Huang instructed.

I followed his advice, discreetly taking photos whenever Xiaojing displayed any unusual characteristics. Her unblinking eyes, lack of color, and other peculiarities were all documented as evidence.

"Good, now send me the photos and videos," Master Huang directed.

As I transferred the files to him, I couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and anticipation. Was Xiaojing really a resurrected corpse, or was I falling victim to an elaborate scam?

Master Huang studied the evidence carefully, and after a few moments, he responded, "Based on what I've seen, it's highly likely that Xiaojing is indeed a resurrected corpse. You're in grave danger, and immediate action is required."

"What should I do, Master Huang? How can I protect myself?" I asked, my voice trembling.

Master Huang replied, "There's an ancient ritual that can banish the spirit of a resurrected corpse. I will guide you through the process, but you must follow my instructions carefully. Are you ready?"

I hesitated for a moment, contemplating the gravity of the situation. Then, with a deep breath, I responded, "Yes, I'm ready. Please guide me, Master Huang."

And so, under Master Huang's instructions, I embarked on a journey to confront the supernatural presence within my own home, hoping to protect myself from the mysterious dangers that surrounded me.
