Chapter 472: Chapter 472

Yang Fan had some misunderstandings about Old Sir Shen before.

It seems that he wasn’t so confused after all.

It was probably after the two old men couldn’t find any other mysterious entities for quite a while that they asked Yang Fan.

Although Yang Fan felt a bit regretful about the disappearance of the remaining few mysterious entities, he also knew he definitely wouldn’t have time to search for them tonight, since he had promised Old Mrs. Wang, he had to help her out now.

"It’s like this, I just met Granny Wang from the village, she just died..."

Yang Fan briefly told Mr. Shen about what had just happened.

Before he could finish, Old Sir Shen’s voice suddenly raised, "What did you just say? You agreed to Granny Wang’s request and are preparing to help her? Are you crazy, boy?"

Yang Fan was startled by the outburst, "Is there, is there a problem?"

"Is there a problem? There’s a big problem!" Mr. Shen said urgently, "Don’t move from there, I will come with Elder Liang immediately. Remember, starting now, don’t do anything, just wait for us there."

"Ah... okay." Yang Fan was also a bit frightened.

From the tone of Old Sir Shen, it seemed like the matter was very serious.

Feeling quite anxious, he put away his phone, and suddenly when he looked up, he saw Granny Wang’s pale, ghostly old face.

Gone was the kindly and amiable appearance from before, her face now harbored a sinister killing intent, radiating a malevolent aura.

"Little Fanzi, what are you doing here?" she asked with a sinister tone.

Yang Fan’s heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously gripped the wooden mace in his hand, laughing dryly and saying, "I was taking a phone call."

"Did you do what you promised me, Little Fanzi?" Granny Wang asked lightly.

Yang Fan swallowed nervously, "Your daughter-in-law is dealing with that thing with Shen Zhongwei, it’s inconvenient for me, so I came out to wait a bit. Once they’re done, I’ll go and get the stuff."

"Ah, then wait..." The blue hue on Granny Wang’s face slowly faded, returning to that kind and amiable expression, "I shouldn’t be doing this, I really shouldn’t..."

"Huh? Granny Wang, what are you talking about?" Yang Fan asked, puzzled.

Granny Wang suddenly looked up at Yang Fan, and in that instant, the thick eeriness in her eyes made Yang Fan’s back turn cold.

Damn, it’s really scary.

But that ferocious light flashed by quickly.

Granny Wang let out a deep sigh and said, "Little Fanzi, I think I got a bit too agitated, I keep thinking... I want to devour them, those two despicable people. They’re truly too wicked, how could they treat my son like that. Da Qiang is so kind-hearted, whenever there’s something good to eat or drink, he always thinks of Kou Miao first, but why did she do that?"

"Why, why did she do it... What is she unsatisfied with, and what is it about Shen Zhongwei that attracts her?"

"Little Fanzi, I want to devour her, to make her feel Granny’s pain right now, can I do that?"

It looked like Granny Wang was indeed severely agitated by Kou Miao and Shen Zhongwei’s recent conversation. It seemed like she wasn’t in her right mind, babbling incoherently and appearing somewhat out of control.

"Granny Wang, you mustn’t, you can’t ruin yourself just to get even!" Yang Fan said hastily, "They will definitely be punished by the law, if you punish them now, it’s not going to help you at all, but it could be detrimental."

"Is that so? Will the law really deal with them?" Granny Wang asked, her expression somewhat vacant.

"We’ll take care of it, Granny Wang. Don’t worry," Yang Fan declared emphatically.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps echoed from the road, followed swiftly by two figures approaching.

Old Mrs. Wang became visibly hostile upon seeing more people arrive. "Little Fanzi, who are these people?" she demanded.

"Granny Wang, didn’t I mention? We’re after some ’Mysterious’ that got away," said Yang Fan.

Old Mrs. Wang clearly seemed not quite right.

While Yang Fan didn’t know the reason, he could definitely sense it.

The people who had walked briskly from the main road were no other than Old Sir Shen and Liang Laoshi.

Before they even reached close, a yellow piece of talisman paper flew towards them.

The talisman, as if it had a mind of its own, turned a corner and stuck to Old Mrs. Wang’s forehead.

As a faint yellow halo spread out, Old Mrs. Wang’s expression became vacant, as if she were dead all over again.

Just then, Old Sir Shen and Liang Laoshi ran over to them. Old Sir Shen pulled Yang Fan beside him, blocking his body behind his own, and asked in a deep voice, "This is the Old Mrs. Wang you talked about?"

"Yes!" Yang Fan nodded vigorously. "Old Sir Shen, she seemed pretty normal to me."

"Normal my foot, that’s what you think!" Old Sir Shen scolded sternly. "Do you have any idea that she didn’t die a natural death? Such Yin Spirits have only just left the body, their consciousness muddled, mostly filled with the obsessions from their lifetimes."

"Do you know why there are Spirit Level ’Mysterious’? It’s because some people had such strong obsessions in life, unwilling to leave this world, that over time, they become resentful spirits, which then evolve into Spirit Level ’Mysterious’. Among all types of obsessions, resentment is the most intense, and these types of Yin Spirits are the most terrifying."

"Sometimes, their transformation from ordinary Yin Spirits into resentful spirits only requires a single thought. With enough evil and Yin energy, they can complete their transformation in the blink of an eye. Especially when they are agitated by some fools, it happens even faster!"

Yang Fan didn’t need to doubt that the fool in question was undoubtedly him.

"I... I didn’t know any of this..."

Muttering to himself, Yang Fan asked, "Old Shen, what would you say Old Mrs. Wang’s condition is right now?"

"She’s about to become a resentful spirit. Are you scared?" Old Sir Shen turned to look at Yang Fan and asked irritatedly, "Lucky for you, we arrived just in time. If you had talked a bit more, I guarantee she would have torn you apart alive."

Yang Fan: ...

A chill instantly crawled up his spine to his forehead, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

"Old Sir Shen, isn’t it said that below Spirit Level ’Mysterious’ there are ordinary ’Mysterious’? So what is this resentful spirit then?" Yang Fan asked.

He was eager to know more at this point.

"A resentful spirit is just one of the ordinary ’Mysterious’, only it’s one of the more vicious kinds," explained Old Sir Shen, looking over Old Mrs. Wang off-handedly as he spoke. "You see, after people die, most are left with some obsessions. Even those who die normal deaths surely have matters on their minds."

"But if the obsessions are not particularly deep, even if they have some unresolved issues, they would still vaguely proceed to where they’re supposed to go. However, if some fool were to shock them on their way, those obsessions could amplify instantly, freeing them from their vague state and restoring memories dominated by those obsessions."

"And once their obsessions are amplified, do you think they still want to go to where they are supposed to go?"

Yang Fan shook his head.
