Don’t Leave My Side Next Time

The moment Song Dao entered the back alley, he felt the threatening Yin qi. It was clear that the ghost who absorbed the Yang qi wasn't simple, and at the very least, they should be a hundred year old or above ghost.

"This place doesn't see sunlight on ordinary days. A lot of ghosts like places with this kind dense Yin qi." Song Dao pointed at the sealed off bar before speaking, "This bar's back alley should be frequented by many people seeking special services."

"Then should we find directly find for a somewhat larger flow of said people that's close to a dark place, and sit back to wait then ?" As this area was a bar street, this kind of back alleys should be common.

"This place already attracted attention." Song Dao shook his head. As long as that ghost wasn't dumb, it would know that it's actions would attract an Exorcist and would definitely not appear in this area again.

However, slapping a face would also go pow pow at times [不过有时候打脸也是啪啪的 Sleepy: ~(・・?）]. Assuming that the daring who that absorbed the Yang qi was extremely cunning, it would definitely not stay in one place for an extended period of time. However, as it happened, Song Dao and other met with someone whose brain wasn't particularly bright and had also felt that this place was suitable for practicing Taoism…

"Ah…" Song Dao and Shao Qian heard a faint scream. Almost instinctively, the two of them ran towards the direction where it came from. As Shao Qian didn't have any weigh and could furthermore walk in a straight line without encountering any obstacles, his speed was naturally not slow. He left hurriedly, not paying any attention to Song Dao who was yelling behind him. However, when he arrived at his destination, he only saw a bloodstain on the floor, but couldn't see a corpse or a ghost. However, there were remains of Yin qi that felt very familiar to him at that place.

"Don't leave my side next time." Once Song Dao arrived, he immediately pulled Shao Qian into his embrace. Heavens knows how hard it was to for him to hide his panic when he saw Doll's departing back. There was a sudden surge of anger along with terror, seemingly as if it wanted him to drown, causing his heart to cry out for him to seize him back.

"You're holding me too tight." Don't presume that ghosts didn't know what uncomfort was.

"Let me hug you for a bit." Song Dao buried his face into Shao Qian's nape. He was really worried that Doll would vanish without any warning one day, and he would never be able to find him. It was only by having him in his embrace that could make him feel at ease.

Shao Qian's body was somewhat stiff. After a while, he raised a hand and patted Song Dao's shoulder. "We're not here to play around."

Do you even remember what you came here to do? It isn't certain yet that the ghost had already escaped.

Song Dao tilted his head slightly, his lips gently brushing across Shao Qian's nape as he secretly kissed it. Doll's skin was cold, it felt the same as hugging the porcelain doll.

Hehe, who has ever seen a ghost that's warm?

Song Dao nimbly gathered the remaining bit of Yin qi within the place into his compass. The compass' needle spun a few rounds speedily, before it slowly came to a stop and pointed at a direction.

"Let's go." Song Dao used one hand to pull Shao Qian along, whilst his other hand held the compass as they gave chase. The distance between that bar's back alley and this place couldn't be considered as far. This place used to be part of a development project. Furthermore, the structure was split into two parts, the bar street that used to mainly the alley of an old house and the apartment building that Shao Qian along with Song Dao were currently standing in front of.

"It ran to this place?" Shao Qian looked at the building that was a few stories tall without a single light on and frowned. "The population of this place is small, it wouldn't be strange if the ghost ran here."

Song Dao looked at the estate and his face instantly became cold. Wasn't this place his Master's former residence?

"We're going in." Song Dao directly opened the estate's iron gate and led Shao Qian inside. The security on duty, who was using his phone within the office, saw the door of the iron gate open before closing, but wasn't able to see anyone walking in. He instantly felt a chilly breeze brush by his body and causing him to feel somewhat cold. In his heart, he spoke a few 'Amitabha' [1] to reassure himself that it was just the wind.

Holding the compass, Song Dao walked forward. In the end, he walked until he didn't even need to look at his compass, instead walking directly towards his Master's former residence. He had better not find out that Ling Gang has a connection with that ghost. If not, then don't blame him for not complying with his Master's assigned task.

Song Dao opened the door and walked into the house. Other than a lone corpse, there wasn't any ghosts. The moment Song Dao saw this scene, he felt a bad premonition. He sealed Shao Qian abruptly into a talisman, before hiding it behind the Guan Yu [2] statue in the middle of the room. After that, he tore off the concealment talisman on his body. When Shao Qian was sealed into the talisman, he was startled before he felt a swift and fierce Gang qi flare up before dying away.

"Song Dao, I didn't expect that you would actually mistreat human life." Song Dao had just hidden Shao Qian before he heard the sound of disordered footsteps. As if he didn't care about the corpse, Song Dao walked to the couch in the middle of the living room and sat down. "You changed your clothes. Not bad, you finally became smart."　　

Song Dao's tracking talisman had been stuck to the bottom of Ling Gang's trousers and was extremely small. However, he never expected that Ling Gang became smarter and would actually know how to change his clothes to mislead him.

"Humph, I'll see how long you can be arrogant for." Ling Gang laughed proudly. "Right now, there is complete material evidence on your murder. You might as well carefully reflect on yourself in jail."

Song Dao sat on the couch and picked his nose. "Ah, I'm so scared. How terrifying."

This was said with a somewhat disdainful tone. Tell me, where could it be seen that you were scared? This action made Ling Gang furious as he pointed at Song Dao and spoke, "You guys are still not going to quickly catch him for me!?"

The few people that came along with Ling Gang had dealings with Song Dao before, and some could even be counted as acquaintances. One of them hesitated for a moment, before he spoke, "I feel that Mr. Song isn't such a person."

Who would be stupid enough to kill someone in a room with a wide opened door, furthermore, even deliberately staying in place and waiting to be caught? He had witnessed Mr. Song's methods before. As long as he didn't want anyone to see it, how could these people here even be able to see him?

"What nonsense!" Ling Gang glared angrily at the man that spoke. "Even if he isn't the murderer, he is also a suspect. What's wrong with taking him away for an investigation?"

"Ling Gang, aren't you scared of the retribution for colluding with an evil spirit?" Song Dao stood up, walking up to Ling Gang and sneering. You really do Master proud."

"You aren't qualified to mention my father." When Ling Gang heard those words, his face displayed a somewhat sinister expression. "From what I see, the person colluding with that evil spirit is you. Hand over all the things on your body."

"Officer Wang, please help me take care of my bag." Song Dao passed the bag he was carrying to the officer that had spoken, and when that person nodded his head, he said his thanks. "Many thanks to Officer Wang. Assisting in an investigation will not exceed twenty-four hours, this period of time is still acceptable for me."

"I'm just scared once you go in, you won't ever come out again." Ling Gang spoke eccentrically. "When that time comes, don't beg for me to bail you out."

However, Song Dao hadn't said those words to Ling Gang, but had said it for Shao Qian, who was behind the Guan Yu statue, to hear instead. After he left, the talisman that was sealing Doll would stop working. Therefore, he said those words simply to let Shao Qian know to wait for him at home.

"I'll trouble Officer Wang." Song Dao didn't pay any attention to Ling Gang before he walked towards the office named Wang with a smile.

"Chief, he doesn't need to wear handcuffs?" A police officer that had just graduated from the police academy looked at Song Dao who was walking in front of them, and asked anxiously, "We're not scared he'll run?"

"You know rubbish." Officer Wang kept Song Dao's bag properly. "From now on, be more courteous when you see Mr Song. Even if we don't want to have dealings with Mr Song, we are also better not being enemies."

"Oh?" The little officer thoughtlessly voiced out his disapproval. This was really a superstitious feudalism. Was there really a ghost? It was more like a group of people scaring themselves.

"Get men to inform the forensic and take the body to the morgue." Officer Wang had only glanced at the corpse, yet his entire body got the chills. Wasn't it said that ghosts didn't come out during the day? How did it take a life in the afternoon when the sun was especially fierce?

"You guys go first, I'll burn an incense for my father." Ling Gang looked at Song Dao pleasedly. "Song Dao, starting from today, you are expelled from your Master's house. Don't say that you're my father's apprentice ever again."

　　"I remember expelling myself from Master's house a long time ago." Song Dao sneered. "I see that not only are you incapable in techniques, but your brain is also not working. Ling Gang, I'll advice you with the words 'Heavenly Cycle of Retribution'. The Heavens will see whatever we do. Be careful of whether you will be able to stand up to the retribution when it comes."

"You should worry about yourself first." Ling Gang answered coldly. This Song Dao wasn't that amazing? Didn't he get sent off to jail by him? In this sort of situation, he still dared to clamour. When they reach the prison, see if he doesn't kill this person.
