Chapter 244: Chapter 244 - The poisoned client

Yuna sneezed loudly and rubbed her nose. "I think I caught a cold," she mumbled, rubbing her arms.

"wrap yourself up." Eric gave her his scarf.

Yan wrapped herself tightly in the woolen scarf and sighed. "How far did she run off to? This forest is so dense."

They were both presently walking in the deep forest range behind their client’s house. It was 6 am and the sun was rising. They only had a short window before the ghost gets burned by the sunlight. They had to find their possessed girl before that.

The path they were walking was uncharted and had never been walked in. So Eric had to cut a way for them to move in. With a huge grass-cutting knife he sliced off the shrubbery in their way.

"Are you sure she went this way? There are no traces of their movement."

Eric knocked her head slightly. "don’t look with your eyes. Use your yin-yang eyes."

Pouting Yuna opened her yin-yang eyes. To her surprise, she saw a black trail of smoke that lingered right in front of them. it led straight up into the forest. "Hey the trail ends there," she nodded to a tree house that was high up in a cedar tree.

"Good girl, we have found our possessed girl." Eric patted the top of her head.

They both walked up to the huge cedar tree with less difficulty than they had expected. a few nails were stuck on the trunk that eld directly over to the tree house.

Eric touched the red blood stains on the huge nails. And then he gazed up. Black miasma was shrouding the whole tree house.

"I’ll climb up. You just stay down here okay."

He grabbed the slippery nails and slowly climbed up to the tree house. The wood floor under his feet creaked loudly as he took a step on it. Taking a deep breath, he slowly moved to the door.

It was ajar. He simply walked in to see a crouched figure at the corner. Visibly, the girl looked spooked and terrified of something

Eric silently gazed at her with interest. "You didn’t run away. You’re hiding. But what from whom?"

The girl gazed up. her eyes had entirely turned back with bloody tears dripping down. "Save her... please.... I’ll leave. please save her."

Eric walked up to her and squatted down closely. "How do you know my client?"

The ghost was obviously in control of the body. But it seems like the ghost was trying to protect their client from someone or something.

The ghost sobbed silently. "She is my sister... I’m sorry about yesterday. Please you are the only person who can help.... please don’t let them kill her. Save her."

He couldn’t figure out what happen with just a few words. Eric got comfortable on the wooden floor... "tell me whey thing you know. only then could I help her out?" He glanced at his phone. it was exactly 6.15 am, and the sun was about to rise. if this ghost did have a legitimate reason to fear for his clients safety, then he would help them both out. "We don’t have much time so keep it short. How are you related to this client of ours?"

"She is my sister! She is my baby sister." The girl crawled close to him. "My parents are trying to kill her. They killed me and now they are trying to kill her. Please you have to save her from them."

Eric frowned deeply. He had read up on the family history. But there was nothing about this said elder sister.

"Why did they kill you?"

The ghost scoffed. "Money. my sister and I inherited a ton of money from our late grandfather. As the first granddaughter, I got the biggest share. My parents did not get a cent. But they didn’t seem to mind it though. or so I thought. when I was about to turn eighteen, they showed their true face. I saw her... my own mother mix poison in my drink. Every night she had been poisoning me little by little. I didn’t know until I was on my death bed. I was so stupid. I actually thought they loved us." She started to dry her tears.

"After my death, all my money went to my little sister. My parents had expected this and they were planning on making their move on her. But she is smart. She moved out to another country to study, thereby staying away for a long time. Recently my father’s business has taken a hit, and he needs cash really badly. He asked my sister, but she refused to spare him some. So he... he tried to poison her. That was when I took control. I was only trying to save her."

The ghost wailed. "I couldn’t get out of her after that... I got stuck, but I hoped at least this way I can protect my sister."

"then you guys came in.... I was scared that you were on my dad’s side. I was so scared that my baby sister will be harmed. I didn’t mean to fight back. I don’t want to stay here. I just want to save her. Pelse... please help her. I will leave right after that."

Eric sighed loudly. "Wait here," he walked over to the doorway. "Yuna toss me your coat!"

"What?"

"Your coat!" he shouted.

"But I’m chilly," she pouted.

Eric glared her way.

"Fine. Stingy guy," she rolled it up and tossed it high into the sky.

Eric caught hold of it. Walking in he wrapped the ghost girl in the coat and muttered a yang protection spell. "This will keep your soul intact for a little while. We will help your sister find peace. But after this it’s all in her hands. we won’t help her take care of her financial situation. And when all of this is over, you must leave. If you don’t, I will make sure you do leave,"

"Deal." The ghost shook his hand. "Be warned my family has very powerful connections in the mafia. They might intervene."

"we’ll take care of that."
