Detective Ghost Empress

314 Blue roses

Liu Hui Ying stared at the blue roses that were scattered all over the tomb of Liu Fei Fei like some wretched flower wreath that seemed to be celebrating the death of a young woman. Something seemed to have cracked inside of her as soon as she saw the thing in front of her and then she was reminded of the time when her sister was attacked by the murderer. It was a rainy night, the stars in the sky were covered by clouds—— no one could see what was going on the dark night and only street lamps were the one thing that were helping the pedestrians.

On that night, a man whose face she could not remember with half of his face covered with a mask came to look for her sister. He seemed to be in pain and something evil was latched on his back, the being was so crooked that it did not even have a physical form, it only had a smoky figure with eyes as red as blood and a mouth that seemed to be made of a jarred scar instead of a human mouth.

It was smiling and hanging on the back of the man who was speaking to her sister. The man seemed to be penniless since he was dressed in rags, his hair long and wild as if he could not care about taking it at all. His eyes were frantic as he held onto the hands of her sister and pleaded to help her even when he could not pay her.

Liu Hui Ying, of course, refused him, she and her sister were orphans given that their parents died when they were too young. Her sister was having a hard time working as a dish cleaner in a restaurant and a celestial master already. She did not have the time to ward off evil spirits since she had to take care of Liu Hui Ying who was very young back then which was why she refused the appointments that were asking her to leave the house at night making it impossible for her sister to earn a good sum of money.

This was why she thought that it was too much of a shame to let go of such a golden opportunity and of course she asked the man to pay since he was in such a desperate situation but her sister. Her foolish and kind sister agreed to treat the man without asking for money causing Liu Hui Ying to get angry at her and run out of the house.

After strolling in the area for a long time, Liu Hui Ying returned thinking that the man must have gone back but when she returned home what she saw was the broken remnants of her sister’s body and a vibrant blue flower in the vase that sat next to her. The two of them did not like keeping flowers since they were not cut out for it, Liu Hui Ying at once knew that those flowers were left by the man who killed her sister and even seemed to be celebrating the kill that he made.

Who would have thought that she will see the same flower as the one that she found next to the body of her sister in this time and place? She blinked her eyes trying to will away the anger that was coursing inside her but her sister who finally found the key to the man who killed her did not seem too keen on calming down instead she tried to take control of her body by bashing against her surface again and again.

And soon the anger that her sister was feeling was transferred into Liu Hui Ying as the latter grounded her teeth and made a violent movement as if she was going to crush the thing that was sitting in front of her but before she could, a hand reached out and stopped her. Clamping on her wrist so hard that she almost broke her shoulder when she moved forward.

Slightly startled she turned to look at the man who was stopping her and then raised her head in confusion.

.....

” What are you doing?” She asked as her eyes which were slowly turning completely black blinked at the man who had his fingers clamped on her wrist. Was he looking for a quick way to die? Or why else would he try to stop her? Liu Hui Ying blinked her eyes at the man who was in front of her and then tried to pull her wrist out of his hand.

Since these flowers were here, that man must be hiding here as well, he must be watching them from the sidelines. Enjoying the masterpiece that he has created in front of the woman who died because of him ——she has to go and look for that man!

She was going to find him and then kill him with her bare hands.

” I do not understand what is going on, my queen,” the man who was holding her pulled her back when she tried to push him off her body making sure that no one could see her face. He raised his hand and then without touching her face, he skimmed the nerves that were sticking out of her skin on the sides of her eyes like many fibrous roots of a tree. Her eyes that were flickering between complete black and white made her look horrifyingly enchanting. ” But you look like a demon at the moment, if you go on a chase like this and that too in front of so many people … I don’t know about you getting what you want or not but you will be caught and killed for sure by them.”
