The figures over there were still swaying, but no one responded, and no one came out. They looked like people, because the flashlight shone over and revealed their shadows. I winked at Qu Mo and made a gesture, and the two of us split into two groups and surrounded them from both sides.
The distance of more than ten meters was just a few steps away. Qu Mo was standing in front of two trees. I went around to the back to block him. Two of us shone our flashlights together in the middle of the trees. There were four people, three men and one woman, all of them were like blindfolded playing hide-and-seek, with their arms stretched out in front of them, feeling around.
The ghost covered his eyes!
I took out an exorcism talisman, chanted a spell, burned it, and threw it into the air. A faint black mist dissipated before my eyes.
"Ah, ghost!" After the four people regained their sight, they shouted in unison and fled in all directions.
"I'm not a ghost, come back!" I shouted at them.
As soon as they heard the human voice, they stopped immediately, turned back and looked at us blankly, then looked at each other, as if they were still undecided whether to come back or not.
"Is one of you called Chen Ming?" I said to them.
"It's me. Do you know me?" A boy walked out from among the four people. His face was still pale because of the fright.
I looked at Qu Mo and she nodded, confirming that this person was Chen Ming. We had seen his ID card.
"We are looking for you on Wang Yang's behalf. She will be here soon," I said.
"Really? Where is she now?" Chen Ming became very excited when he heard Wang Yang, and the fear on his face disappeared.
"She's behind us. She should be here in just a few minutes." After I said that, I looked behind me and couldn't help but frown. Normally, they were not running fast, so they should be here by now.
Chen Ming ran back a few steps, held on to a big tree and looked forward with a look of eagerness.
I looked at the other three people, two men and one woman, and I vaguely guessed that it was them. I asked, "What are your names?"
A boy said in a trembling voice: "My name is Huo Weijia."
It turned out to be them. I felt relieved. Not only did I find them, but they were all alive and well. The mission was accomplished and the reputation of the Ghost Shop was not damaged.
My mood improved and I couldn't help but laugh. I turned to the other two men and women and asked, "Your name is Yin Wenze, and your name is Yao Tingting, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?" the two people asked in unison, looking surprised.
I looked at Huo Weijia first, thinking that Tang Xiaohan was dead, they probably didn't know yet, so I didn't tell them yet, lest it affect their mood and cause more trouble. I said casually: "I found two backpacks in a cave, I saw it from your ID cards."
The three of them looked as if they had suddenly realized something, but Huo Weijia immediately asked me nervously, "Have you ever met a girl named Tang Xiaohan?"
"No." I shook my head. Although I don't like lying, what I said was the truth. The girl was a human. I had never seen Tang Xiaohan, but I had seen a ghost.
Huo Weijia's face was filled with disappointment and he lowered his head in silence.
After we waited for a while, Shen Bing and the others still didn't see anyone. I was getting impatient. Even if Wang Yang was slow, this place wasn't far from where we were just now. We should have arrived long ago. Could something have gone wrong again? I called them and walked back along the way we came. We were almost at He Xi's body, but we didn't see them yet. But I found a package of ashes wrapped in my windbreaker on the ground!
