Huangfu Jun watched as Bai Lin's long, slender fingers formed a hand seal. She didn't know what it did, but a streak of white light shot out with his gesture, winding like a dragon toward the eerie girl in red.
The girl seemed to sense the danger. The green light in her eyes flickered several times like an alarm, then she darted deeper into the forest. In a few flashes, she was a hundred meters away, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished entirely.
Seeing this, Jin Hu quickly jumped off Zheng Siyi and sent out his own tiger-shaped golden light, which flew into the forest depths alongside Bai Lin's dragon shadow. The two lights—gold and silver—zipped through the trees like lightning, overturning every blade of grass as if searching for something.
After a long while, when the golden and white rays each returned to their owners, Jin Hu's face had turned deathly pale, whether from the massive expenditure of energy or sheer shock. He turned to look at Bai Lin, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Captain Bai, that girl isn't human, not a monster, not a half-demon. But if she's none of those, how could she talk to us? And how did she evade both of our tracking? What exactly is a residual image? Could it be a ghost?"
Huangfu Jun couldn't help but feel tense. It was nothing other than the girl's appearance and actions perfectly matching her stereotype of a "wronged female ghost in red." And now, two powerful demonic experts like Bai Lin and Jin Hu had confirmed she wasn't human, demon, or half-demon. The only explanation left seemed to be a ghost.
