Yun Qin swiftly closed the secret door. After a “bang”, the zombie worms in the small room no longer had a way to escape.

With the help of the greedy ghost, Yun Qin successfully caught three zombie worms. One of the zombie worms that possessed a mask was firmly stepped on by the greedy ghost, while the other two zombie worms possessed a dagger and a pair of scissors, but they were all secured in Yun Qin’s hands, they couldn’t move.

Zombie worms and greedy ghosts were both low-level ghosts, so they couldn’t speak like the Rakshasa and could only express their thoughts through actions.

After sensing the energy of these three zombie worms, Yun Qin was surprised to find that these three seemed to be a family.

The zombie worm who possessed the mask was a young male worm. Compared to female zombie worms, male ones had a relatively gentle temperament. After being stepped on by the greedy ghost, it obediently didn’t move.

As for the adult female zombie worm who possessed the scissors, it was extremely fierce and agitated towards Yun Qin. It kept trying to hurt Yun Qin with the blades of the scissors.

The adult male zombie worm that possessed the dagger next to the scissors and didn’t move either.

As for the relationship between the two adult zombie worms, the evil energy was intertwined and went deep into each other’s bodies. They didn’t want to be separated, so they were probably partners.

It seemed that the other zombie worm that escaped was most likely the larva of the two adult zombie worms. Judging from its agility, it was more than likely female.

She found the habitat of the zombie worms, but the zombie worm that was causing trouble was not at home. What should she do?

Even if the black traces ended in this small room, Yun Qin still had a way to find it.

Zombie worms had a habit which was that when they were injured or insecure, they would follow the strongest female in the clan to obtain stability and protection.

When Yun Qin was still an evil ghost kneeling in front of Hades’ Palace, she saw groups of slowly wriggling zombie worms crawling to the palace to complain.

This kind of ghost did not often cause trouble. So, usually, after the whole family had gone through the trouble to crawl to Hades, they were mostly there to bid farewell to the ghosts.

However, the various rumors about the haunted house being haunted in the nearby residential areas were probably due to these zombie worms.

To find the zombie worm larva that was controlled by the hidden ghost was very simple, make that zombie worm the strongest female in the clan and the rest would follow her.

However, how to make the female larva stronger than the mother that gave birth to it was a difficult problem.

If it was an ordinary Taoist priest or mage, they would have been stumped long ago. However, in Yun Qin’s case, it was just a small problem.

Considering that the zombie worms only liked to play tricks and never actually harmed anyone, Yun Qin prepared to spare their entire family.

First, she used her evil energy to injure the three zombie worms. Then, she sucked their evil energy until all they had left was a small portion of ghost energy that could keep them from dissipating and maintain their ability to possess objects.

Then, Yun Qin opened the door and motioned for the greedy ghost to lift its foot. A ghost mask, a dagger, and a pair of scissors–to be precise, the three zombie worms–quickly ran out.

Yun Qin was prepared. She ran behind the three zombie worms. Seeing that they escaped into the autopsy room, Yun Qin knew that she guessed correctly.

The greedy ghost ran very hard. It almost caught up with the masked zombie worms that fell behind. When it reached the second floor, it looked at Yun Qin, who was gasping for breath. It opened its mouth and shouted anxiously and excitedly, “Ji Ji Ji!”

Yun Qin had yet to figure out the scene on the second floor. She followed the zombie worms to a certain place on the second floor before she saw that her feet were covered in sticky blood, which restricted her speed.

Even though she ran slowly, Yun Qin still tried her best to keep the three zombie worms within the detection range of her evil energy. She also found that ever since she broke through the hidden ghost’s hiding technique, the detection range of her energy became larger and larger, she could easily cover a small room.

However, after the three turned into a department office, the zombie worms’ evil energy completely disappeared from Yun Qin’s detection.

The greedy ghost also stopped at the door of the department office. It nervously and hesitantly called out to Yun Qin in a low voice, losing the momentum from the chase.

It seemed that there was something inside that it was afraid of.

Yun Qin smiled slightly when she ran to the door and found that the detection range of her evil energy shrunk back to about three meters after entering the department office.

It seemed that the hidden ghost was hiding inside.
