After putting the hairpin back on the female ghost, An Xinghe pulled out a pair of scissors.
Although he felt sorry for the female ghost's fate, one thing was one thing. He wouldn't show her any mercy.
An Xinghe pressed the scissors against the female ghost's neck and said:
"You aren't something that should exist in this world. He Song Sheng forcibly dragged your soul back here back then."
"You must have suffered a lot too."
"Today, I'll send you on your way."
The female ghost heard An Xinghe's words but remained motionless, waiting for him to act.
An Xinghe moved his fingers, and the scissors cleanly sliced through the female ghost's neck.
After finishing all this, An Xinghe found the Eight Trigrams Formation again, activated the mechanism, and cleanly burned everything belonging to the Cantonese Opera Troupe to ashes.
He was also able to escape from the videotape and return to the company in the Real World.
By then, however, the company's walls were covered with all kinds of bizarre photographs, making the place incredibly eerie!
An Xinghe didn't care. He simply walked back to his computer.
Another videotape was playing on the computer.
The voice in the recording belonged to a girl—and to An Xinghe's colleague, A Qi!
"Welcome, everyone, to Escape from the Spirit Realm Point! I'm A Qi!"
"We've come to Ci Xiu Village, where suicide cases have been occurring one after another! Let's find out what secrets are hidden here!"
"Everyone, take a look. This is the Ghost Detector specially made by Ghost Sister from our production team."
"Today, I'll take everyone to..."
After that, the video gave off a crackling sound, and the rest could no longer be played.
Once An Xinghe finished watching, he raised his head and discovered that he had unknowingly entered the world inside the videotape once again!
He opened the door in front of him and arrived inside one of the houses in Ci Xiu Village.
The final ghost was in Ci Xiu Village!
This was also the third segment of the original Ghost Tale of Hong Kong.
It told a tragic story.
A girl named Lin Zhishan, who had grown up in an orphanage, was forced into the sex trade after reaching adulthood.
Lin Zhishan had two daughters, Lin Kexin and Lin Wanyan.
Lin Wanyan had been in poor health since childhood.
Lin Kexin was even more unfortunate. She had suffered from diabetes since she was young and needed insulin to stay alive.
To support her two daughters, Lin Zhishan had to put on heavy makeup and go out to work every night.
However, the rumors among the neighbors eventually crushed her. Wearing red clothes and red high heels, she jumped from a building and killed herself.
After the police arrived, they sent Lin Kexin to the hospital, but she ultimately died despite treatment.
Lin Wanyan's whereabouts, meanwhile, were unknown.
After Lin Zhishan died, she turned into a female ghost and endlessly wandered around Ci Xiu Village. She was also the last Evil Ghost An Xinghe had to deal with.
After entering the room, An Xinghe heard a little girl's laughter.
Along with it, the entire room was covered in the words "Play with me," written in blood.
This female ghost should be Lin Kexin.
An Xinghe smiled.
"Do you want Uncle... I mean, big brother, to play with you? No problem. What do you want to play?"
A table suddenly appeared in front of An Xinghe, with the Ouija props on it.
An Xinghe's eyes lit up.
"Ouija? I'm familiar with this!"
An Xinghe placed his index finger on the Small Bowl. Across from him, an icy, pale finger reached over as well.
An Xinghe didn't look up. Instead, he muttered:
"Little girl, look how thin your hand is. You need to eat more! Have you been drinking enough milk and eating papayas?"
Lin Kexin: "???"
Chapter 25: You Really Don't Know How to Deal with Me
The Ouija game An Xinghe played with Lin Kexin was a variation of the Ouija game.
It was also a relatively traditional version.
First, a yellow cloth was spread across the table, covered with all kinds of characters.
Then, a bowl roughly the same size as the characters was placed upside down on the table.
The players would place their fingers on the bottom of the bowl and ask the Ouija questions. The bowl would then move above the characters.
Stringing those characters together would give them the answer they sought.
This time, however, Lin Kexin, the ghost herself, was acting as the Ouija spirit.
In essence, it was a benefit that allowed players to ask questions and learn about the plot that followed.
The Ouija game officially began.
An Xinghe smiled warmly and asked:
"Given that df(1/x^2)/dx=1/x, what is the value of f(1/2)?"
Lin Kexin froze.
What kind of question was this? How was she supposed to answer it?
An Xinghe waited for a while. Seeing that Lin Kexin wasn't moving the Small Bowl to write out an answer, he said:
"This question might be a little difficult for you, so I'll switch to an easier one."
"A point A on the rim of a flywheel with radius r=0.6m has the equation of motion s=0.1t cubed. When the velocity of point A is v=30m/s, what is its tangential acceleration?"
Lin Kexin's tiny head was filled with enormous confusion.
What kind of question was this? Was this something a person could ask?
Shouldn't you be asking about something related to ghosts?
An Xinghe clearly felt the finger Lin Kexin had pressed against the bowl begin to tremble, but he continued:
"You don't know this one either? Then I'll try another."
"Lu Xun once wrote: 'In front of my house stood two trees. One was a jujube tree, and the other was also a jujube tree.'"
"What kind of mood was the author expressing with this sentence?"

[Hahaha! An Xinghe is such a troublemaker! I'm dying of laughter!] [You're the first person I've ever seen play Ouija and ask math questions!] [Stop! This isn't Ouija at all! It's a classroom Q&A session!] [You rendered Lin Kexin speechless.] [Please stop tormenting the child! She's about to go crazy!] [Is this a question a carbon-based life-form could even ask?]
Just as the Danmaku had said, Lin Kexin stopped playing altogether.
After all, she had only been a seven-year-old child when she died. It was perfectly normal for her to have a bit of a temper.
An Xinghe heard Lin Kexin's voice coming from all directions.
"Big brother, you're so handsome, and your temperament is so gentle. Why do you keep asking such strange questions?"
An Xinghe snorted disdainfully.
"You call those strange questions? I only asked questions from general education courses. I haven't even asked anything from specialized courses!"
Lin Kexin instantly fell silent, and the terrifying atmosphere completely dissipated.
An Xinghe looked around and spotted the ethereal figure of a little girl in the corner.
He walked over, crouched down, and asked:
"Kexin?"
The little girl nodded.
"Where's your mother, Lin Zhishan?"
Confusion appeared in the little girl's eyes, and she murmured:
"Mommy... Mommy... I don't know... I want chocolate..."
An Xinghe reached out his hand to her.
"Kexin, how about I take you to find your mother? I can give you some chocolate too!"
The Astonishingly Handsome skill came in handy once again! It gave Lin Kexin an incredibly high affinity for An Xinghe.
She placed her little hand into his palm almost without hesitation.
"Big brother, you're really nice. I want to be your wife when I grow up."

[Someone call the police! There's a child trafficker here!] [What are you shouting about? It's not like there are police in a horror game!] [Who is An Xinghe trafficking? It's not a child—it's a ghost!]
