Chapter 761 - The Female Ghost’s Resentment
Chapter 761 The Female Ghost’s Resentment
Sir Ma’s words render all the villagers present quiet.
Interestingly, Sir Ma may not be able to kill them whereas Gao Ge can do it. Yet, they have fear for Sir Ma.
It is similar to the saying that the officer is no better than the current person-in-charge.
Or rather, Sir Ma has taught them a lesson before whereas Gao Ge hasn’t. In this case, of course they don’t fear Gao Ge.
All the people fix their gaze on Sir Ma.
They are waiting for Sir Ma to continue talking.
However, quite some villagers are already astonished.
Obviously, what Sir Ma said has reminded them of something.
A lot of people stare at the red coffin in fear with their eyes wide open.
It is as if they saw the demon crawling out of hell.
It seems that what they have experienced makes them have a deep impression of the red coffin.
“Why is the coffin here?” Someone asks in a low voice.
“I don’t know. Does Hu’s death have anything to do with the coffin?”
“I guess so. Hu is the one who got the coffin out of the water at that time!”
The more they guess, the more fear they feel.
This is indisputable.
What terrifies them more is Hu’s current mortal appearance.
Many villagers present know about Hu’s disappearance. After all, Red Fish Village is not big.
Even if Hu was killed as soon as he disappeared, it is too unimaginable that his body is so seriously decayed.
Therefore, it is not likely that Hu was killed by Gao Ge.
Besides, they can recognize that Gao Ge is a master.
Such a master is not likely to be really mad at Hu.
He wouldn’t even make trouble for Hu after the incident was dealt with.
Besides, they trust Sir Ma.
Since Sir Ma tells them that it has nothing to do with Gao Ge, Sir Ma can’t be lying for the sake of Gao Ge then.
“Well, listen to me. I ask you to come here so that I can announce the decision to burn the coffin!” Sir Ma says.
He wanted to conceal the matter in fear that the villagers of Red Fish Village would be panic-stricken. Yet, under the circumstance, he cannot think too much. After all, he cannot really burn the coffin on his own. And it takes more than two or three people to burn the coffin anyway.
Besides, he hasn’t said that it is an act to show respect for every village’s right to be informed.
No one can find fault with his current way of handling this matter.
Sir Ma talks for more than ten minutes or so and kind of makes clear the stakes.
In the end, he coughs and looks at the villagers, “Now, any problem?”
The villagers of Red Fish Village look at each other. It seems that they do not have any problem now.
Although they also think it is ominous to burn the coffin like this, there doesn’t seem to be a better way for now.
Besides, Gao Ge and his peers are still here. If anything really happens, they can help handle it. If a big problem arises after they leave, the villagers will be really doomed then.
Therefore, it is a wise act to burn the coffin now.
They even believe that Gao Ge’s suggestion is totally for their own good. What they don’t know is the reason why Gao Ge offers such a suggestion is that he finds it relatively simple and convenient.
Great things may be done by mass effort.
It is a good saying that fits the scenario well.
Shortly, the bonfire is prepared but when they deal with the coffin, they encounter a problem.
The flame leaps high around the red coffin but to their astonishment, in such heavy flames, the red coffin still remains the same. It seems the coffin won’t be burned into ashes as if it were made of iron.
This also surprises Gao Ge. With a frown, he stares at the coffin in the flames and looks confused.
“Do you feel it?” Ge Chunrong walks to him and whispers.
Gao Ge nods.
When the red coffin is being burned by the fire, rushes of Yin Qi keep gathering inside the coffin.
Ordinary people may not feel it but Gao Ge can truly feel it.
Not only Gao Ge but also Zhang Jian and Ge Chunrong obviously notice it. Otherwise, Ge Chunrong wouldn’t ask Gao Ge about it on purpose.
“Mr... Mr. Gao, what is going on?” Sir Ma also comes near Gao Ge and his voice is trembling.
Seeing such a weird scene, he cannot keep absolutely calm.
“I don’t know. Probably the temperature is not high enough. Why don’t you go over and check it?” Gao Ge says.
Sir Ma’s face turns pale in fear. He doesn’t even dare to go near the coffin, let alone check the temperature of the flames.
“Oh no! Sir Ma, look over there!” A villager suddenly shouts in horror.
“That is...”
“Good heavens!”
The villagers all exclaim in fear.
Gao Ge narrows his eyes and also feels taken aback.
The flames keep rising and eventually form a woman’s face, which is coquettish and enchanting with a chignon.
Yet, her eyes look exceedingly cold. Only by one glance, one can feel cold.
“Ghost!”
With a shout, the villagers of Red Fish Village finally come to their senses and flee in different directions.
“Come back! Come back!” Sir Ma shouts.
However, driven by extreme fear, no one cares about him.
This is the test of life and death.
Gao Ge suddenly sneers.
He reaches out his hand and his power of stars surges madly.
“I only meant to have your coffin burnt but you insist on making trouble. What? Do you think I will fear a ghost?”
After saying that, Gao Ge reaches out his hand and meanwhile, a gale blows by and the fire surges, which echoes with the waves of the sea.
With a bang, the bonfire directly explodes. With a painful shout of the woman, the red flames quickly turn weirdly blue.
“Show yourself!” As Gao Ge shouts, a rush of thunderous power spurts out of his arm and pulls a ghost out forcibly.
The fire gradually fades away and only bits of sparks are left. Only a dark figure lies on the ground. Gao Ge looks down at the female ghost.
“How dare you...” A feeble voice is made by the female ghost, full of resentment.
