Wang Hanying shook his head upon hearing this, then nervously asked, "Is it serious? Will it affect the ghost-catching?"
"Not really, it's just... well, is there an internet café nearby?" Yang Gou Dan replied.
Wang Hanying pointed across the street. "There's one right across from my house. How about this: I'll go talk to the boss, and you can use it freely."
Yang Gou Dan nodded with a knowing expression. "Yes, that's good. The rule that minors can't enter should indeed be revoked."
With that, Yang Gou Dan pulled Chi Xiang along. "Let's hurry up."
I slapped Yang Gou Dan on the head. "Stop messing around; we have important matters to attend to tonight."
"We still have six hours until tonight. I’m about to reach Gold rank; who knows, I might even hit it in six hours," he said. "Come on, Chi Xiang, stop eating and hurry up with Buddha."
I warned, "Just don’t wander too far."
"Sure, if anything goes wrong, just shout and we’ll hear you," Yang Gou Dan said as he walked away with his string of prayer beads.
As the sun began to set, both Ouyang Shan and I started to feel anxious. Although Yang Gou Dan was there to help, the rumored ghost fetus was still terrifying—over two hundred ghostly infants was a chilling thought.
Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed at the entrance.
Ouyang Shan and I both stood up.
The door swung open, and Chen Shan walked in. "I was busy, but I finally made it," he said.
"What brings you here, Captain Chen?" I asked.
Chen Shan smiled, a mix of determination and warmth on his face. "It's my responsibility. Although I'm not good at catching ghosts, as a criminal police officer, how can I hide behind while you all are in danger?"
I admired him for that. As a Criminal Police Captain, Chen Shan was indeed impressive—loyal and responsible.
Wang Hanying sat in the room, lost in thought.
Ouyang Shan and I checked the various talismans around the yard again. We had covered the entire yard's walls, leaving only the entrance bare. This way, we only needed to guard the entrance.
This method was simple but perfectly suited for dealing with Wei Qiang, as the spirits residing within him were mere fetal ghosts, lacking intelligence and driven only by instinct.
The sky had completely darkened.
Barking began to echo through the village.
We lit up the lights in the yard, feeling a bit more at ease.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my neck. It was faint, but I definitely sensed it.
I stood up abruptly and turned around sharply, only to see a mass of black clouds swirling inside the house behind me.
"Damn it! This is bad! Call for help!" I shouted anxiously, raising my voice. "Dog Egg..."
However, before my words could travel far, everything changed in an instant. I realized that the house was gone, the yard was gone, and even the ground beneath me had vanished. All that surrounded me was an endless expanse of black clouds rolling ominously. I had no idea where I was.
My mind buzzed for a moment, and a wave of regret washed over me. Damn it, I fell for it! I had been so focused on the idea that Wei Qiang would walk in through the front door that I forgot—Wei Qiang was a water ghost; he came through the sewers!
I knew this was an illusion that needed to be shattered quickly, or else everyone in the room would be dead in an instant.
Although my mind was clear, I found that I couldn't move my hands or shout. In fact, I realized that I could barely breathe.
He really was formidable!
I struggled desperately, even trying to bite my tongue, but nothing worked.
I felt suffocated; I was going to die. Suddenly, it dawned on me how easy it was for Wei Qiang to kill. He didn't even need to make a move; people just suffocated to death on their own.
Those three nurses must have been killed the same way by Wei Qiang.
My mind began to blur.
At that moment, a familiar sound echoed in my ears—the cries of battle, the sound of hooves, and weeping—once again filled the air.
The sound was surprisingly clear.
As soon as it appeared, I felt my mind sharpen significantly. I opened my eyes wide, and suddenly my body could move again.
I quickly looked around and saw that Wang Hanying had collapsed on the ground, unconscious. Chen Shan lay there as well, completely still. As for Ouyang Shan, he lay there with his mouth agape and eyes wide open, looking as if he were about to die.
I immediately shouted, "Wake up! Wake up!" Then I rushed over to Ouyang Shan and shook him violently.
Ouyang Shan jolted awake. The first thing he did upon waking was turn around and run away at full speed.
I grabbed him firmly and said, "Don't run away! You can't escape! Quickly defend yourself; I'm calling Yang Gou Dan."
Then I shouted "Yang Gou Dan" twice at the top of my lungs. At the same time, I kicked Chen Shan and Wang Hanying awake. However, even though they were conscious, they lay on the ground unable to move.
"Wah... wah... wah..."
A baby's cry echoed through the air.
Suddenly, Wei Qiang's swollen body slowly emerged.
Surrounding Wei Qiang was a mass of black mist, so thick that it was nearly impossible to see his figure.
"Wah... wah... wah..."
The baby's cries continued.
Ouyang Shan trembled and said, "Damn it, we really can't win. Earth and Heaven, heed my call... Pfft!"
Ouyang Shan pulled out a golden umbrella and spat out a mouthful of blood onto it before throwing it toward Wei Qiang.
The umbrella instantly expanded, enveloping Wei Qiang within its canopy.
I looked at him and said, "Ouyang Daozhang, you really have some skills."
"Who cares about that! Let's hurry and run!" Ouyang Shan turned to flee again.
I exclaimed, "What are you running for? Take this chance to kill it!"
"Don't kill me! This is the only treasure I have on me, and I spent thirty thousand yuan to buy it from Taobao. It won't protect me at all. Let's hurry and run!" Ouyang Shan ignored me and insisted on fleeing.
At that moment, suddenly, with a loud bang, the golden umbrella exploded open. Wei Qiang stood quietly there, his dark eyes filled with hatred and longing!
As I looked into those eyes, I immediately remembered; those were the same ghostly eyes I had seen on the bridge!
"You all... will die!"
Wei Qiang grinned, and suddenly, a black mist enveloped him. Then, that mist instantly transformed into countless baby ghosts—over two hundred of them—rushing toward Ouyang Shan and me.
Ouyang Shan picked up the Peach Wood Sword, tears streaming down his face as he shouted, "Song Fei, you’ve really doomed me!"
While wielding the Peach Wood Sword wildly, Ouyang Shan couldn't see the baby ghosts flying toward us; all he could see was Wei Qiang's swollen body.
I was scared too. I had never seen so many ghosts before, and although these baby ghosts lacked intelligence and acted purely on instinct, they seemed incredibly powerful.
I grabbed the Peach Wood Sword and lunged at the nearest baby ghost.
That baby ghost suddenly opened its mouth and bit down on my Peach Wood Sword.
I pulled hard twice but couldn't budge it.
"We're done for! We're dead!" Ouyang Shan cried out as he ran behind me.
At that moment, with a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
I turned to look at the entrance and saw Chi Xiang kicking the door wide open while Yang Gou Dan strode in with a massive string of Buddhist beads.
Yang Gou Dan walked forward while loudly chanting, "Om, Ma, Ni, Padme, Hum, Om, Ma, Ni, Padme, Hum..."
His voice resonated like a great bell in my ears, as if countless monks were standing above me, continuously reciting scriptures.
As Yang Gou Dan's voice echoed, suddenly, the previously arrogant baby ghosts began to explode.
Wherever Yang Gou Dan's voice reached, those baby ghosts burst one by one with a series of thumping sounds, transforming into clouds of black smoke that dispersed into the air.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Ouyang Shan stared with wide eyes at Yang Gou Dan and then at the swirling black mist around us. He clearly understood what was happening and shouted, "A master! What the hell! A true master!"
Yang Gou Dan strolled forward and stood directly in front of us. He completely ignored Ouyang Shan and focused solely on Wei Qiang, once again uttering those strange Buddhist mantras: "Om, Ma, Ni, Padme, Hum..."
"Ah!" Just a single phrase caused Wei Qiang, who stood nearly six feet three inches tall, to suddenly scream in agony. Then his bloated corpse charged toward Yang Gou Dan!
Both Ouyang Shan and I stared wide-eyed at the unfolding battle.
Wei Qiang's massive swollen body lunged toward Yang Gou Dan.
Yang Gou Dan reached into his waistband and pulled out a golden object resembling a page from a book. He tossed it into the air and shouted loudly, "Om, Ma, Ni, Padme, Hum, Vajra Sutra of Subduing Demons, seal!"
The golden page he pointed at wobbled in the air for a moment before it fell to the ground with a thud.
Wei Qiang halted in his tracks and looked down at the Vajra Sutra of Subduing Demons on the ground.
Yang Gou Dan was momentarily stunned and then yelled angrily, "Damn it! Who broke my Vajra Sutra of Subduing Demons?!"
As soon as I heard that, I felt a wave of frustration wash over me. "What the hell! Why the hell did you hide this piece of paper so well? Last time when I was doing laundry, I saw your clothes were filthy, so I took them to the laundry room. Of course, I couldn't see this paper hidden in your underwear!"
Yang Gou Dan panicked and shouted, "Song Fei, I'm going to fight you! Do you know how precious the Vajra Sutra of Subduing Demons is? It was copied using Gold Sand! This is the only copy I have, so of course, I had to hide it in my underwear pocket!"
I fell silent.
Yang Gou Dan stood up. Although he looked disheveled, he wasn't panicking. Upon seeing Wei Qiang's swollen body, Yang Gou Dan suddenly bit his own fingertip and then drew a "卍" symbol in the air, chanting urgently, "Amitabha, seal!"
With a loud bang, a blood-gold "卍" symbol suddenly illuminated the air. The symbol radiated golden light and enveloped Wei Qiang's body.
