Chapter 53: A Strange Atmosphere

“Ah? Master, we’re still in line!”

Hearing that Yun Qin was leaving, the people around her were getting unhappy. Some haven’t seen enough excitement, while others still had problems that needed to be resolved.

“I’m sorry, but I have important matters today that I can’t delay. That’s all for today. Those who didn’t get to come up to me, our fate today ends here. There’s no need to force it. You can come again next time.”

Yun Qin comforted everyone. She could only take this kind of work for two hours at most, anything more than that and she might go crazy.

Seeing that Yun Qin insisted on leaving, the crowd could not persuade her to stay. After all, Yun Qin was doing everything for free. It would be too much for them to ask for more.

Therefore, the crowd asked when would she set up her stall here again?

Yun Qin never really thought about that. Fortune-telling was just her cover since her real job was catching ghosts and getting rid of evil energy.

Therefore, Yun Qin said casually, “I’ll come when I have time. As the saying goes, one cannot divulge Heaven’s secrets.”

Ignoring everyone’s inquisitive gazes, Yun Qin drove to Black Bear Ridge.

Yun Qin even deliberately exchanged her sexy sports car for a sturdier and more durable commuter car. It was a work car that was usually assigned to management-level personnel in the Yun corporation, so it was more low-key and steady on the road.

At around 11 a.m., Yun Qin finally got off the highway. After buying some drinking supplies at the intersection, she drove off again and turned onto a small road.

In the beginning, there were some cargo trucks and cars on this road. When she gradually approached the Black Bear Ridge area, not only were there fewer vehicles on the road, even the surrounding houses were getting sparse.

When Yun Qin saw a sign that said, “Black Bear Ridge Mine Enter Here,” she drove towards the entrance. On the road leading to Black Bear Ridge Mine, there were no vehicles at all.

Fortunately, the local government maintained the road that connected the mine to the city, so it was accessible by vehicles, saving Yun Qin a lot of trouble.

If Yun Qin had to walk into the mountains, she would rather die with the evil spirits.

When she saw the dark green mountain range in the distance, Yun Qin felt terrified of this place that was a natural vessel containing evil energy.

Not not only were there no signs of human habitation, but the road was also full of abandoned houses and vegetable soil. There was a strange atmosphere, and the temperature dropped so sharply that Yun Qin had to put on a sweater to stay warm.

However, because of Yun Qin’s abilities, when she approached this place that was filled with evil energy, she actually felt relaxed.

The creepy feeling from this strange place mixed with the comfortable relaxation of her body made Yun Qin feel somewhat conflicted.

After driving along the twisting mountain road, Yun Qin finally approached Black Bear Ridge Mine.

Looking at the piles of rubble by the road, Yun Qin could not help but shiver.

There was a lot of evil energy here.

With the experience from last time, Yun Qin did not rashly attack the ghosts here since these ghosts were no longer trying to harm people. Moreover, the natural geographical formation here that allows for evil energy absorption was not something that Yun Qin could change, so it was only a matter of time before wandering souls here became ghosts.

After parking her car at the entrance of an abandoned factory, Yun Qin carried a backpack that contained supplies and a small incense box. Flipping through the ancient book in her mind, she began to study how to identify the core of an evil-energy-gathering formation array.

To find a place that was suitable for the little ghosts, she had to choose a place with the most amount of evil energy. Not only would it be convenient for them to cultivate, but it was also suitable for survival.

After comparing the Black Bear Ridge region map in her hand with the information from the ancient book, Yun Qin finally roughly determined the location of the array core.

The array core was the place where evil energy was most abundant, and it was located in a valley on the backside of the Black Bear Ridge.

And the location Yun Qin was standing at happened to be diagonally across from the valley. It was very close.

This was probably why the accident at the mine a few decades ago was able to strengthen the evil-energy-gathering array so significantly.

If Yun Qin wanted to head to the valley, she had to hike around the mountain to the backside and then climb down.

Carrying her backpack, Yun Qin gritted her teeth and walked from noon till dusk before she finally reached the valley.

Although there was a small path that the miners dug out many years ago, it was now covered in grass. Yun Qin could barely identify the general direction.

Along the way, Yun Qin did not forget to activate her ability to absorb evil energy. She was not going to waste this excellent evil energy resource.

Therefore, Yun Qin absorbed enough evil energy to maintain her life. However, the red line on her palm did not change.

It seemed that she would only increase her lifespan by absorbing evil energy from ghosts.
