El caso del mensajero fantasma la historia de un alma que abandona el cuerpo

Capítulo 3

"Sigh, I don't know either, the trail has completely gone cold." Linglong sighed. "Now it's up to fate whether they're willing to help us."

"About the bloodstains..." He Huan reminded her.

"Since there is no blood sample, there is no way to summon the shikigami for help. Now we can only leave it to fate. If we really can't find the murderer, I will send you to be reincarnated first. You can't stay in the mortal world forever. That would be against the natural order of reincarnation."

"..." He Huan didn't speak. He just wanted to know who killed him. Was even this small wish going to be denied him by God?

That night, He Huan came alone to the rooftop where he died. Standing on the terrace, looking at the starry sky, he suddenly realized that he no longer belonged there. He Huan thought about how he had died unjustly and that the murderer could not be found. He also thought of his elderly mother, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's no use, you won't survive if you jump." Suddenly, Linglong appeared behind him. "Things will work themselves out. Don't take these life and death matters too seriously."

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. You try dying and see what happens!" He Huan said irritably.

"..." Linglong also climbed onto the terrace and looked into the distance.

"I was just saying, don't actually die!" He Huan thought Linglong was going to commit suicide.

"Come quickly!" Linglong didn't answer, but suddenly jumped off the terrace and ran towards the experimental building opposite.

"What's wrong?" He Huan quickly caught up with the spirit dragon because he was using the floating technique, but he still didn't know what he was running for.

Reply [11]: "There's someone in the physics lab across the way!!" It must be the murderer!! Linglong had only this one belief in his heart.

"!!" He Huan disappeared behind the spirit dragon with a "whoosh".

"Hey! Wait for me!" Linglong was already out of breath from running. "Being a ghost has its advantages, at least you don't have to run so hard!"

"..." He Huan stared at the appalling scene in the physics lab, completely at a loss for what to do. He stood blankly at the door, utterly helpless.

"What's wrong? Did you see the murderer?" Linglong ran over and asked when he saw He Huan still standing by the door. "!!" But when he saw the scene inside, his reaction was the same as He Huan's. However, he quickly calmed down, wiped the girl's breath, and shouted, "Go call an ambulance!" He had almost forgotten that He Huan was a ghost.

"Damn it! He got away again!!" He Huan looked at the girl's lower body, which was completely soaked in blood, and angrily punched the wall.

"No! He hasn't gone far!" Linglong judged by the degree of congealing of the blood. "He Huan, leave this to me, you go after him!"

"Maybe the murderer hasn't gotten very far!"

"Hmm!" He Huan perked up again and immediately disappeared from Linglong's sight.

"..." Linglong used his phone to call the hospital, and then carefully checked the entire physics room to see if the murderer had left any clues. He pondered, "Strange, why did they both choose the physics room, and both girls' lower bodies were...? Who is the murderer?"

"Ugh..." The girl woke up here, and she looked at the spirit dragon in panic, "You, you, you don't come any closer!"

You, no

want--!!"

"Miss, calm down, it's all over now!" Linglong was both happy and worried when he saw her wake up. He was happy that she was not in any danger, but worried that she had more cruel realities to accept.

"No, no, I... no!!" The girl noticed the blood on her lower body and screamed hysterically.

“Miss, don’t be afraid. Tell me, who is that person?” Linglong hoped she could reveal some information about the murderer. “Justice will prevail in this world. He won’t escape retribution!”

"No, no! I, I... I want to go home..." The girl staggered to her feet, dragging her heavy steps like a ghost as she slowly walked to the door, blood slowly sliding down her thigh.

"Miss, the ambulance is on its way..."

"Leave me alone!!" the girl screamed. "You men are all the same! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!" After saying that, she completely disregarded her weak body and ran out the door.

"..." Linglong sensed something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He knew this had deeply hurt the girl, and he couldn't force her to do anything. He simply followed silently behind her to prevent her from contemplating suicide.

A short while later, the ambulance arrived. Seeing the girl being helped into the ambulance by the paramedics, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, He Huan returned, and Linglong eagerly asked, "How was it? Did you see who it was?"

"No..." He Huan's voice was barely audible. "I chased for a long time but didn't see anyone. Could it be a ghost too? How could it run faster than me!"

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [12]: "No way, I didn't sense the ghost's presence, it must have run away..." Linglong frowned, not knowing whether he should admire the other party's running skills or lament his bad luck.

"Sigh, it was so hard..." He Huan was extremely frustrated—just when they were about to catch the murderer, he let him escape right under their noses!

"It's alright, as long as we keep looking for that girl, maybe we'll find a way. Besides, I don't believe we haven't even seen a ghost..." Linglong thought of a solution and smiled slyly.

...

“He’s tall!” exclaimed a spherical-shaped alien.

“No, it doesn’t look that high to me!” a snake-like alien spirit objected.

"I don't think he's tall or short, I just think he's a bit fat!" said another spirit.

"Where is he fat? He's clearly very thin!" Another flat-faced spirit held a different opinion.

"..." Linglong was getting a headache from their arguing, but there was still no result!

"Anyway!" the ball-shaped spirit shouted, "it's a man!"

"Nonsense!" That's what everyone answered him.

These guys are really unreliable! Linglong thought to himself, the only thing he could do was to go find that girl and see if she was willing to reveal who she was... Although there was still a glimmer of hope, it was still very slim.

"Get out! You men are all the same!" The girl hadn't calmed down at all; she yelled hysterically at Linglong, "Beasts! You're all beasts!!"

“Miss, please calm down. I’m here to help you.” Linglong stood outside the door, not daring to approach. “Are you just going to let that beast get away with it? Are you just going to stand by and watch the second and third girls be harmed? Don’t you want to get justice for yourself?”

"..." The girl gradually calmed down. She considered Linglong's words and felt they made sense. She didn't want others to be victims after she had suffered a loss herself. "But, but, he... we can't beat him..." "We have to try no matter what, right?" Linglong was secretly pleased to see that she was almost persuaded. "Even if we can't bring him down, we can't let him get away with it! It was because of the previous girl's compromise that you got hurt again. I hope you won't be like the previous girl. Can you stand up?"

"..." The girl remained silent for a long time, struggling internally. Of course, she didn't want to see any other victims, but standing up required a lot of courage—after all, it was a scandal. After much deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, she finally made up her mind, "Fine! I'm already not clean anyway!"

"Thank you," Linglong said, too excited to speak. "Then, who is he?" He couldn't wait to find out the truth.

“Yes,” the girl said, though she was determined to identify the person, she still felt a little uncomfortable saying his name. “It’s Teacher Li…” “!!” Linglong was shocked. In his mind, Teacher Li wasn’t even a suspect. How could it be him?! He remembered the time when Teacher Li spoke up for him and Lin Wenbin. He seemed so gentle and refined. How could he have done such a perverted thing?!

"No, there's no mistake, is there?"

"Hmph, don't even mention you, I didn't believe it at first either! Teacher Li taught us, I never thought he would..." The girl thought of everything that happened that night and couldn't help but cry again. After a while, she calmed down. "At that time, Teacher Li was like a different person. I really couldn't believe that it was him..." --- Magpie Bridge Fairy replied [13]: "..." How could this be? Can people really be so different? During the day he is a good teacher respected by everyone, but at night he is... "Damn it! Not only did he do such an outrageous thing, but he also killed someone to cover up the truth!" He Huan couldn't hold back anymore. "I must make him pay a heavy price for this!!" His eyes were almost spitting fire.

“The key is how to bring him to justice, but we have no evidence…” Linglong pondered.

"Yes!" the girl said. "I have proof!"

Watching the police car escort Teacher Li to the prison van, Linglong and He Huan felt a surge of relief; the rest could be left to the police. However, Linglong learned from his father that Teacher Li refused to admit to pushing He Huan off the balcony until his death. He Huan was furious: "Why didn't he admit it! He should be responsible for what he did!!"

"No, my dad said they used a lie detector, and he really wasn't lying. That means there might be someone else who killed you!"

"

"Damn it! I thought I could be reincarnated!" He Huan was resentful.

“However…” Linglong recalled everything that had happened recently. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. He had a premonition that the truth was very, very close to them!

"What's wrong?"

"No, no." Linglong shook his head. He had no idea where to start. Right now, he just wanted to sort things out.

Linglong thought of the bloodstains on the rooftop, of the first girl saying "No one is innocent," of the horrific scene when he first met the second girl, and of... "!!" Could it be...? Linglong broke out in a cold sweat. "He Huan, come with me!!" Things were not as simple as he had imagined. The murderer was very likely... Arriving at the first girl's place, Linglong and He Huan practically rushed into her room. The girl sat on the windowsill looking outside. She didn't turn around, but simply said, "So you've finally come."

"You knew we would come back?" Her words deepened the doubts in Linglong's mind.

"I've said it before, no one in this world is innocent..." The girl still didn't turn her head.

"??" He Huan had no idea what they were talking about.

"It's you, isn't it?" Linglong went straight to the point.

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [14]: "..." The girl did not reply.

"You went to the rooftop that day, right?" Linglong stated his speculation. "At that time, you were filled with resentment, anger, and hatred for men. You originally wanted to commit suicide, right? But then you saw He Huan sleeping soundly on the terrace, and you vented all your hatred on this poor, innocent person, pushing him off, right?" Linglong's words were sharp, leaving no room for the girl to refute, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

"What?" He Huan never dreamed that the person who killed him was this girl who had suffered great harm in the past.

“I was also very surprised when I thought of this possibility,” Linglong said to He Huan.

"How did you know?" the girl asked casually.

"Do you know that because of your weakness, a second girl has already been victimized? We arrived a step too late. When I saw her stand up from the pool of blood, with blood sliding down her legs, I thought of the mystery of the bloodstains on the rooftop. I think you must have treated it beforehand, but when you got to the rooftop, the wound reopened, which is why the ghostly bloodstains appeared. After thinking it over, the only one who could be like this is you. Although I sympathize with your plight, He Huan is innocent. He didn't hurt you. Why...?"

“I’ve said it before, no one in this world is innocent,” the girl interrupted Linglong. “I originally wanted to testify against Teacher Li, but I’ve also killed people and hurt others. I have no right to comment on other people’s crimes. I am guilty! I pushed him down without thinking at all, without thinking about the consequences. I only knew that he was a filthy man like that other person!” The girl also deeply regretted what she had done. She buried her head between her legs and sobbed.

"..." Seeing how pitiful she was, He Huan had long forgotten his resentment. He never expected that the murderer who killed him would be such a girl who had accidentally killed him in a fit of anger under such circumstances. "Linglong, I want to talk to her."

"You?" Linglong was somewhat surprised, but he still bit his finger and drew a talisman on He Huan's ethereal body so that the girl could see He Huan.

He Huan walked up to the girl and sighed softly:

"Never mind, I originally wanted to bring the murderer to justice, but I really didn't expect it to be a girl like you."

“You…” The girl looked at He Huan in surprise. She suddenly realized, “You, you are, you…” She felt her scalp tingle and a wave of dizziness wash over her.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you or seek revenge. Maybe you think no one in this world is innocent, but I don't think so. No one in this world is infallible, but as long as you can get the other person's forgiveness, that's enough to atone for your sins, right? So you should also learn to forgive yourself, okay?"

"You, you mean..." The girl could hardly believe it was real.

“Yes, I forgive you. You must live well too, and live out my share of life!” He Huan said with a smile.

"But I did such terrible things to you..." The girl, whether moved or remorseful, burst into tears.

"It's okay, just consider it an early death and an early birth!" He Huan was quite open-minded.

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [15]: "Thank you, no matter what, thank you very much..." The girl never expected He Huan to be so forgiving.

"..." Seeing their happy ending, Linglong felt very gratified.

"Thank you, Linglong!" He Huan said her final goodbye to Linglong.

"I know, you're so long-winded! Hurry up and go, the gates of hell are closing!" Linglong couldn't stand all the thank yous.

"Thank you so much for going through all this time..." He Huan really didn't know how to express her gratitude. "Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you over there!"

"Can't you say something nice?" Linglong had never seen anyone thank someone like that before. "Hurry up and go! This time, you should be reborn into a good family so you don't die such an unjust death again." Seeing that He Huan could leave so calmly, Linglong felt that he had done a good deed.

“If I die unjustly again, I will come looking for you again!” He Huan said with a smile.

"Don't come looking for me again!!" Linglong's hair almost stood on end. "I'm going to live a normal life, just you wait and see!!"

"Hehe, let's all work hard together!" He Huan said as he walked towards the Gate of Hell and disappeared into another world.

"..." As the gates of hell gradually closed, Linglong let out a long sigh of relief.

This is the last time I'll use magic in my high school career. I'm determined to be an ordinary high school student and enjoy my life to the fullest! Linglong made up his mind.
