I opened my Yin-Yang Eyes and looked in the direction from which the music was coming. I saw the four young people I had encountered earlier had already entered the bedroom on the right.
Although I didn't know exactly what was happening inside, I suspected it was the work of Chu Pengpeng. I took my Peach Wood Sword and hurried into the bedroom, shouting, "There's a ghost in here! You all need to get out!"
As soon as I stepped into the bedroom, I heard a loud crash behind me. Turning around, I saw that the door had been slammed shut and locked again, with three talismans torn off from it.
"What’s going on?" The culprit behind all this turned out to be one of the young men who had entered earlier. He looked dazed and moved sluggishly, as if he were sleepwalking.
"Ha ha, Jiang Ling Brother, you’ve finally arrived!" Chu Pengpeng's voice came from within that young man's body as he slowly approached me.
"Is it possession?" I furrowed my brow and used my Yin-Yang Eyes to look at him, but I didn’t see any Eerie Aura surrounding him.
Taking advantage of the moment before he reached me, I quickly stepped further into the bedroom and locked the door behind me.
"Jiang Ling Brother, you finally made it!" Just as I secured the door, I heard Chu Pengpeng's voice again, but this time it came from three voices simultaneously.
I was instantly startled; my body stiffened. Slowly turning around, I saw three young men in the bedroom staring at me with eerie smiles.
It was clear now that the previous voices had come from these three individuals.
I raised my Peach Wood Sword defensively and looked at the music box on the desk. "Ghost, your tricks have been seen through! This isn’t possession at all because possession can only control one person at a time, yet you’re controlling four!"
"I know you must have used the sound of this music box to hypnotize them and control their actions!"
"Jiang Ling Brother, you’re so clever! But even if it's not possession, you still can't catch me!" The three young men surrounded me with sinister smiles on their faces and reached out towards me.
Seeing that things were going wrong, I quickly swept my Peach Wood Sword in front of me. Since they weren’t ghosts, the sword acted merely like a wooden stick, pushing their outstretched arms away.
Seizing this opportunity, I yanked open the bedroom door and dashed outside while shouting, "Ghost, don’t get too cocky! Watch how I drag you out!"
The bedroom was too cramped, and with three people inside, I couldn't fully unleash my skills. It was better to lure them into the living room.
After running into the living room, I spotted the young man from before. I hoisted the Peach Wood Sword onto my shoulder, a mischievous grin spreading across my face as I said, "Hehe, since you guys don't believe in ghosts, let me give you a lesson to remember!"
The young man stretched out his arms and slowly approached me, moving like a zombie from a movie, his actions appearing somewhat comical.
"Take this!" I circled behind him and lightly struck the back of his head with the Peach Wood Sword, knocking him out cold. His eyes closed, and he fell straight to the ground.
"He's not dead, is he?!" I looked at the person on the floor, feeling a bit guilty, unsure if I had hit him too hard. I poked his nose with my finger and confirmed he was merely unconscious. I let out a heavy sigh of relief.
I glanced back toward the bedroom and realized it would take those three about another minute to arrive. I had more than enough time to do what I needed.
With a wicked smile on my face, I flipped the unconscious man over and wrote seven characters in cinnabar on his face: "Chu Pengpeng was here!"
"Hehe, this will do!" I imagined that when he woke up and saw a dead person's name on his face, he wouldn't be able to deny it.
I picked up the Peach Wood Sword again and used the same method to take down the other three people. However, I wrote in different places: some on their stomachs, some on their backs, and one right on the lens of his glasses.
It took me about half an hour to knock down these four people. At that moment, the music from the bedroom also stopped.
"Jiang Ling Brother, you're really too wicked!" Chu Pengpeng suddenly emerged from the music box without me noticing. By the time I heard his voice, he was already standing in front of me, grinning as he looked at the writing on their faces.
I looked up at Chu Pengpeng and took advantage of his distraction to secretly draw a Command Character in my palm with my right thumb. Once finished, I lunged forward and grabbed one of Chu Pengpeng's legs.
Ghosts are intangible; ordinary people can't catch them. However, the command I drew in my palm was a basic Seal that allowed me to temporarily solidify any ghost I touched.
"Haha! Ghost, I've caught you!" I exclaimed as I got up from the ground, laughing at Chu Pengpeng.
Chu Pengpeng never expected to be caught so quickly. He looked very surprised, but he still smiled and nodded, saying, "Jiang Ling Brother, before you take me to the Underworld, can you promise me one thing?"
I released Chu Pengpeng and curiously asked, "What is it? I'm listening!"
A pained expression crossed Chu Pengpeng's face as he said, "I hope Jiang Ling Brother can save my parents!"
I could hardly believe what Chu Pengpeng was saying. I asked, "Pengpeng, your dad caused your death, and you still want to save him?"
Chu Pengpeng quickly shook his head and cried, "My dad didn't kill me; he was controlled by bad people and became like that. My mom was also taken away by that bad person!"
Hearing Chu Pengpeng's words, I was momentarily at a loss. I never expected things to be so complicated. Furrowing my brow, I asked, "You didn't go to the Underworld to be reincarnated; did you intentionally want to find someone to help you?"
Chu Pengpeng nodded and said, "I tried to take revenge on that bad person before, but I was no match for him. So I've been waiting for a powerful person who can rescue my parents."
I touched my ear and curiously asked, "Ghost, why do you think I can help you?"
Chu Pengpeng stepped closer to me and pointed at my chest. "Because the power within you is very strong, and you are a good person!"
As Chu Pengpeng's finger touched my chest, I felt a warmth spreading through me. Looking down, I noticed that the Round Seal on my chest had suddenly manifested itself.
