Chapter 295 Let’s Catch Ghosts!
Claire’s husband groaned, his face was dull, and he dragged Claire towards the bridge…
Accidents were bound to happen. Just as they were about to jump off the bridge, a vehicle sped wildly
and stopped next to them.
A small figure jumped out of the car and threw a talisman while running.
“Whoosh!”
There were green flames accompanied by several shrieks. Claire’s husband was the first one to regain
his
consciousness.
He was standing on the bridge with Claire in his arms as if he was about to throw her into the river.
His back was soaked with cold sweat, and he quickly dragged Claire back.
He turned around and saw a boy and a girl standing behind him. The boy looked about seven years old
while the girl was four years old.
The little boy wailed, “Lilly, wait for me…wait for me…
-Claire’s husband was astonished.
He felt numb and had goosebumps all over.
The little girl comforted him, “Don’t be scared, sir. I’m not a ghost,”
A tall man got out of the car with a fishing net in his hand and made a lot of commotion.
“Did you make it in time?” he asked.
The little girl said, “Yep!”
The little boy asked again, “Are there any more ghosts, Lilly?”
He only seemed to care about ghosts.
Claire’s husband was puzzled and asked, “Who are you?”
Blake twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in a casual tone, “I doubt you’ll believe this but we
came here to fish,”
Claire’s husband was confused.
Why would anyone fish at night?

Lilly squatted beside Claire and tapped her head.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Wow, her head is hard!”

Everyone was silent.
She muttered, “The golden rooster crows and the sky is bright. The roosters are crowing, get up
quickly, the ghosts will disappear after three crows…”
Everyone heard Lilly muttering.
Blake and Josh looked at Lilly, a golden chime appeared in her hand and it buzzed three times.
Is this girl a priest? She looks quite professional…
In the next second, he saw Lilly squeezing Claire’s mouth hard. It was so hard, Claire’s body fell
backward.
“Yeah!” She yelled.
Eventually, Claire opened her mouth and Lilly grabbed a handful of talismans and stuffed them in
Claire’s mouth.
She accidentally dropped one. Lilly picked it up and blew on it, “It’s okay, it’s still clean when you pick it
up within three seconds!”
Claire’s husband was speechless.
He seemed to jump to conclusions easily.
The talisman in Claire’s mouth burst into green flames and black smoke came out of her mouth.
Claire’s husband could not see the black smoke but he could see the talisman being stuffed into
Claire’s mouth. He did not know what kind of trick it was, and it turned into ashes in an instant.
Lilly explained, “She’s been targetted by an evil spirit, she’ll be fine as long as she eats the ashes of the
talisman!”
Claire’s husband remembered that the people in the countryside boiled water with talismans in it and
fed them to the patients.
He did not believe that could work.
“It’s useless, I’ll take her to the hospital…” he said.
However, before he finished speaking, he saw Claire get up with a grunt, looking around in a daze.
“Hey, it’s you…” She said in amazement, “Why are you here, little girl…”
Claire’s husband choked on his words.
Lilly let out a sigh of relief, “You’re awake, Miss! I was just passing by with my dad. We were going to…
fish,”
Josh continued, “Then we saw you fainted, and he was dragging you….”
Claire saw her husband behind her.
The fear she had before going into a coma reappeared. She was so depressed she burst into tears.
“Why do you care about me?” She said stubbornly, “I don’t need your pity.”
Claire’s husband felt sad. He bit his lips and remained silent.
“Can you get up?” He said angrily, “If you can’t. I’ll carry you on my back.”
Claire tried to stand up while leaning on the fence beside the bridge, but her legs were weak, and could
not stand up.
Eventually, her husband carried her on his back, and neither of them spoke.
Lilly shook her head, “Adults are complicated.”
Blake did not care about that.
He looked at the fishing net and squinted his eyes, “Do you still wanna fish?”
Lilly nodded. “Daddy, you need to throw the net like this,”
She held up her hands and demonstrated.
Blake raised his eyebrows.
Like this?
He threw the net out.
Places like bridges and crossroads were the easiest places to find ghosts.
Although Blake could not see them, he threw the net and it moved strangely. It made the bell ring.
Josh’s eyes lit up. “There’s fish!”
His improved fishing net finally worked!
Blake was also surprised. He was one step closer to changing his career.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJosh ran over excitedly. He felt fear and anticipation at the same time and dragged the net back.
“Lilly, come here, there are gigantic fish!”
Lilly took out the jar of souls and held it high, “Hey! Can you answer me if I call you?”
As soon as she spoke, the black smoke was absorbed into the jar of souls.
The ghost did not have time to speak.
What was she talking about?
The ghost who was carrying Claire was dumbfounded. He looked like a fool and his
eyes
widened.
Is this what they considered fishing?
There’s nothing at all!
They even thought they were superior.
How baffling…
“Where are you going?” Blake asked.
Claire said, “We’re heading back… Thanks for saving me earlier,”
Claire did not know what happened.
But if they had not arrived in time and brought her husband back to his senses, he might have jumped
off the bridge.
The sky was still dull. Blake checked the time, it was 5.44 in the morning, and he did not know how
long Claire and her husband were trapped at the bridge.
He looked at Lilly, “Should we go back?”
Lilly squeezed her fingers and muttered, “Huh? Is someone trying to compete with me?”
Josh asked. “What? Someone wants to steal our credit?”
How could anyone steal Lilly’s credit?
No way would they let them steal it!
“Let’s catch them first!” Josh said with high spirits and looked at the time. It was about 5 to 6 in the
morning.
“Let’s do this!” He waved his fist arrogantly.
Lilly also waved her fists arrogantly. “Let’s go!”
