Under the sunlight, Lin Xiaoxiao is no different from her peers. She buries herself in books in the campus library, her laughter echoing ethereally in the classroom, her eyes shining brightly in the ocean of knowledge. But as the sun sets and night falls, she becomes like a figure cloaked in invisibility, silently shuttling between the boundaries of light and shadow, engaging in conversations with unsettled souls.
On this night, Lin Xiaoxiao follows the footsteps of Gu sha to the end of a bustling street, where an old building forgotten by time stands. Once a symbol of hustle and bustle, it now only echoes with the murmurs of the wind and the stories of the past.
Gu Sha's steps are steady, each one calculated in distance and rhythm. His gaze is deep, as if it can penetrate the dark walls and see through the slightest traces.
Lin Xiaoxiao follows cautiously behind, her spirit detector emitting sharp wails at times and falling silent at others. Whenever the device alarms, her heart tightens, knowing it means a spirit is near.
They entered a room with peeling walls, filled with the marks of time. The laughter and tears that once existed here have now been replaced by emptiness and silence. The wailing of the spirit detector reached its peak in this room, as if something here was drawing it in.
A sudden cold wind arose out of nowhere, causing Lin Xiaoxiao to shiver. She felt an unusual presence moving through the air, a kind of restlessness in the midst of silence, a crying hidden in the darkness.
Gu sha's voice suddenly rang out in the silence, his words concise and powerful: "Don't move, it's here."
Lin Xiaoxiao held her breath, her eyes straining to find the unknown presence in the dim light. Gu sha then slowly walked towards the center of the room, his figure becoming increasingly blurred in Lin Xiaoxiao's vision, as if he was beginning to blur with the boundaries of this world.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly heavy. Gu sha stopped in his tracks, his palm gently clenched as an invisible energy gathered in his hand.
"We're here, you can come out now," Gu sha's voice echoed in the empty room.
A few seconds later, a blurry figure gradually solidified into a man wearing old-fashioned clothes. His face was pale, with a look of confusion and unwillingness in his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao's first task assigned by Gu sha was to converse with this soul, attempting to understand his entanglement and persuade him to follow Gu sha back to the Underworld. Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, took a step forward, and began to speak.
"Hello, I am Lin Xiaoxiao. We are not here to harm you, we just want to know if there's anything we can help you with?"
The soul seemed to be moved by Lin Xiaoxiao's words, his voice choked with emotion: "I... I still have an unfulfilled wish, I cannot leave this world."
Lin Xiaoxiao cautiously inquired about his wish and gradually learned that this soul was once a violinist. His greatest wish in life was to hold a concert in this building, but due to an accident, he was unable to fulfill it.
"So, if we could help you fulfill this concert, would you be willing to leave with us?" Lin Xiaoxiao proposed a condition.
The soul seemed hesitant, but ultimately nodded. Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Gu sha, who simply nodded faintly in agreement.
Over the next few hours, Lin Xiaoxiao and Gu sha were busy. She found a piece of violin music on her phone and started playing it. The music echoed in the empty room, and the soul's figure became brighter and brighter in the music, until finally, his expression appeared calm and content.
After the concert, the soul bowed to Lin Xiaoxiao to express gratitude, then turned to Gu sha and left this world with him. Lin Xiaoxiao watched their departing figures and felt a hint of warmth and comfort.
Before leaving, Gu sha said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "You did well, this is a good start. But this is just the beginning, you still have a lot to learn."
Since then, every night of Lin Xiaoxiao has become extraordinary. During the day, she is an ordinary student; at night, she becomes a secret partner between the Yin and Yang realms.
In the days that followed, Lin Xiaoxiao's life became like two parallel lines, distinct day and night. Her daytime was occupied by school courses and gatherings with friends, while at night, she immersed herself in the secret missions of the Yin and Yang realms. She learned how to listen to the voices that only she could hear and how to see the shadows that only she could see.
Lin Xiaoxiao's nights have become filled with meaning and excitement. Gu sha doesn't appear often, but each time the guidance is extremely accurate, whether through mysterious text messages or instructions in her dreams. Every night, she receives a new location and a new mission.
Tonight, Lin Xiaoxiao stands under a bridge, another corner of the city. The river under the bridge shimmers with a faint light in the night. The divining rod once again makes a sound, guiding her forward.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew in, carrying a faint laughter, and Lin Xiaoxiao immediately noticed a blurry figure not far away. It was a young female spirit, looking like a student with a backpack and mischievous smile on her face.
Lin Xiaoxiao cautiously approached her and began to communicate with the spirit using the communication methods she had learned. The female spirit was initially surprised by Lin Xiaoxiao's presence, as not every mortal could see her.
"Hi, my name is Lin Xiaoxiao, you look very happy," Lin Xiaoxiao said softly, with a hint of a smile.
"Happy? Of course I'm happy, because I can float around freely, unlike living people who have worries," the spirit's voice was cheerful and unrestrained.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened to her words, but felt a hint of sadness in her heart. This girl may not realize that she has already left this world. Lin Xiaoxiao decided to take an indirect approach and slowly guide her.
"Freedom is good, but don't you want to see your family? Maybe they miss you a lot," Lin Xiaoxiao gently reminded.
The smile on the woman's soul froze, and she seemed somewhat bewildered: "Family? Do I have a family?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's heart clenched. She knew that this soul might have forgotten its past. She gently drew closer and said, like an elder sister, "Of course you do, and I believe they think of you every day, hoping you can return to them."
The eyes of the woman's soul began to look confused, as if she was trying to remember. Lin Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and took out a photo obtained from Gu sha, showing the girl with her family.
"Look, these are your family members. They love you very much. Are you willing to go with me to see them?" Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was full of sincerity and gentleness.
The female spirit took the photo, her gaze gradually regained focus, and a glistening tear fell from the corner of her eye. She nodded, "I... I'm willing."
At that moment, the figure of Gu sha quietly appeared. His eyes held certainty as he reached out his hand, ready to guide the spirit away.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled at Gu sha, she knew she had completed the mission, and this experience had taught her even more. She deeply engraved the story of this girl in her heart. This was her first ghost-catching experience, both interesting and challenging.
Lin Xiaoxiao returned home when the sky was already getting light. She lay on the bed, lost in thought. Her double life had just begun, and she had a lot to learn. But at this moment, she felt a sense of accomplishment and infinite anticipation for the future.
In this bustling city, no one knows that under the cover of night, there is a girl silently guarding the harmony between the living and the dead. A regular student, she is also a secret partner between two worlds.
