“Why are they all down there?” Lin Qichi asked, voicing his confusion directly.
The Ghost Cry Infant uses sound as a weapon, disrupting the listener’s mind, dissolving the opponent from the mental aspect. Those with weak minds would almost instantly die upon encountering it.
Lin Qichi held a talisman, transforming it from his heart, and a golden longsword appeared out of thin air.
“Gold and stone represent Yang, which is most suitable for dealing with the Ghost Cry Infant’s extreme Yin and evil.” The connection between the protective shields reestablished, and the three of them instantly looked at the faint golden layer covering them.
Lin Qichi held the longsword in front of his chest. Although he wanted to take the initiative and solve everything in a crushing manner, the other three didn’t have as much practical experience as him. Moreover, their swordsmanship was barely enough to protect their lives, so he couldn’t expect them to counterattack.
As a lesson, it’s better to use methods they can learn.
He sheathed the longsword, focusing only on self-preservation.
“Now, it’s your favorite decryption segment.” Lin Qichi decided to meet the Ghost Cry Infant first, “Children’s voices are near, male voices are far. If you’re confident enough, then… first solve the ones nearby.”
“Solve the ones nearby? Does that mean if there’s an ambush, we should first eat the bait nearby?” Wen Ren Shu’s voice was also transmitted to the others through the protective shield.
He finally remembered that this spell was the most basic room-entering voice transmission technique of the Wen Ren family.
Since it was the most basic, En Sihan had naturally been taught it as well. Although she couldn’t match Wen Ren Shu’s results from years of practice, she quickly understood.
En Sihan: “Aren’t you afraid of being attacked by the angler?”
Wen Ren Mu was easily impatient and irritable. Fortunately, he was constantly reminded of these basics, so he didn’t completely forget them.
Hearing En Sihan’s voice, he suddenly realized that this must be a basic technique.
Wen Ren Mu softly said, “Isn’t that being an accomplice to a villain?”
Wen Ren Mu’s voice wasn’t fully transmitted, only Lin Qichi, who was connecting each protective shield, heard it. Lin Qichi smiled with relief.
This kid isn’t completely useless. But his driving skills still need to be strengthened.
Lin Qichi said meaningfully, “You always have to eat the bait before you can see the angler.”
“Perhaps, behind the angler, there’s an even bigger controller.” En Sihan speculated expressionlessly, wondering if there was a bigger conspiracy above, and unconsciously followed Lin Qichi.
The Heavenly Master Association either eliminates or reincarnates those supernatural beings.
Lin Qichi had mastered elimination, but reincarnation was En Sihan’s forte.
Seeing Lin Qichi sheathe his sword, En Sihan understood his intention.
So, the path of a Heavenly Master… she had unknowingly walked very far.
But if she wanted to survive in this world, she had to continue walking like this.
Lin Qichi sensed En Sihan’s drastic change in spirit through the connection between the protective shields and was surprised.
He just brought her along for convenience and would eventually send her back to her original world.
But… according to the timeline, the one who identified him back then should be the female lead of this world. So, switching her back later… shouldn’t be a problem.
Lin Qichi led the three behind him, forcefully approaching the largest workshop ruins on the first floor of the scrapyard.
“Brother, do we really not need to be more stealthy?”
Lin Qichi said, “We’ve been targets for so long, what’s the point of being stealthy?”
After thinking about it, he added, “We should leave them some time to run.”
Wen Ren Shu: “Brother, you’re too arrogant.”
En Sihan, who was carefully observing her surroundings, couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Wen Ren Shu’s words. Fortunately, she was isolated in her “small world,” otherwise Wen Ren Shu would have become smug again.
The accessories on Lin Qichi’s waist faintly emitted a thin layer of warm light.
No one noticed except Lin Qichi, who felt the sudden increase in temperature around his waist.
Only a small corner of the vast workshop had a large amount of Yin energy gathered, while the rest was scattered and insignificant.
A small milk candy box was constantly emitting Yin energy, but there were no signs of attack. It was like a helpless child, venomously watching everyone who tried to approach her.
“This… is this the Ghost Cry Infant’s host?” En Sihan asked, turning her face away in discomfort.
Her empathy was strong, and she was easily affected by the emotions on the ghost’s host.
Lin Qichi picked up the milk candy box with his bare hands, “The Yin energy gathers, only goes out and doesn’t come in. She’s reached her end.”
The Yin energy slowly wrapped around his wrist, but it suddenly recoiled as if it had encountered something.
“Why is she so weak? Isn’t she one of the Two Gods?” Wen Ren Shu asked.
Although the Wen Ren family’s clothing designs were specially made for exorcism and calming spirits, they could only repel some small ghosts in ordinary times. But in such a fierce situation, even the Yin energy alone might not be suppressed.
Lin Qichi vaguely heard countless children singing. His left ear sensed a fierce gust of air passing by.
Lin Qichi blocked with his sword in his left hand, and a talisman slid out from his sleeve in his right hand, instantly exploding. Rolling flames wrapped the milk candy box and it fell to the ground.
“Gold destroys evil, fire eliminates evil thoughts.” Lin Qichi dealt with the suddenly appearing male ghost while still fulfilling his teaching mission.
The power in his hand gradually increased, and the smile on Lin Qichi’s lips gradually widened.
The sharp cries of children, mixed with the piercing cold Yin energy, attacked Lin Qichi, who had no protective shield.
A wolf in front, a tiger behind.
Lin Qichi threw out a stack of talismans, suspended in the air in a square formation. The outer layer of golden talismans constantly switched positions in real-time, tightly blocking all the Yin energy and exchanging it to the inner layer. The inner layer of fire talismans absorbed the Yin energy and the sound together.
Lin Qichi’s smile widened even more.
The surrounding Yin energy and evil spirits seemed to not see the other three, only attacking Lin Qichi.
The talisman in the middle of the formation finally stopped replacing itself. Lin Qichi quickly pulled out that talisman, and the empty position was immediately replaced by the surrounding ones.
The talisman that had absorbed a large amount of Yin energy and sound attacks was attached to the sword hilt. The Yin energy and malice were released, overwhelmingly enveloping the golden sword.
Lin Qichi stood in place, his hand reversed, and even made a gesture of invitation.
The male ghost was instantly enraged by him, and the surrounding Yin energy flowed towards him like a vortex.
Lin Qichi suddenly retracted his sword and drew out four more talismans,Clipped on fingertips(jia zai zhijian, clipped between his fingers).
“Yin energy exchange, seal the limbs first.”
The male ghost seemed to suddenly realize his intention and retreated abruptly, but the talismans in Lin Qichi’s hand had already been shot out.
There was no way to avoid it, so he could only take the hit.
The milk candy box, which was imprisoned by the talisman formation, suddenly flew over and blocked in front of the male ghost.
The already vulnerable host box couldn’t even block the talismans that were only meant to seal the male ghost. The box was shattered into pieces by the talismans.
One talisman was destroyed, but the other three still irresistibly nailed the male ghost, one of which even carried a bit of box debris.
The talismans rose with black flames, tightly locking the male ghost’s hands and right foot in place.
The male ghost’s desperate roar shattered the debris on the ground.
The golden sword tip with flames pressed against his forehead.
In the wide and spacious space where Yin energy surged, everything was instantly silent.
“You go find clues.” Lin Qichi said lightly.
This time, the other three breathed a sigh of relief. The scene just now… was too shocking.
Lin Qichi rarely took action himself after Wen Ren Shu’s spirit recovered. He almost forgot how terrifying his brother was.
En Sihan patted her face to calm herself down.
Lin Qichi attached another talisman to the sword hilt, and when he saw the three unlucky kids looking for clues, he relaxed and let go. The longsword hung steadily in mid-air.
The bleak moonlight shone obliquely from the high windows of the scrapyard.
Lin Qichi found a wall that could be illuminated by the moonlight and leaned against it, openly taking out his phone and starting to slack off.
Wen Ren Yi: [Where are you?]
Meng Yu: [Aren’t I hanging on your belt?]
Wen Ren Yi: [A little hungry.]
Lin Qichi’s direct translation: Finish up early and leave, go back and catch a midnight snack.
Meng Yu’s misinterpretation: He wants to ‘eat’ me.
Meng Yu: [I washed myself clean.]
Wen Ren Yi: [I don’t eat human flesh.]
Meng Yu: [You finally admit that I’m human?]
Wen Ren Yi: [The Living and the Dead are Different.]
Wen Ren Shu’s direct translation: A bit of a distance, just being polite.
Meng Yu’s misinterpretation: So you’d rather deceive yourself, admit that I’m human, rather than a ghost, just to be together?
Meng Yu: [Love you ^3^]
Wen Ren Yi: […]
Meng Yu: [Do I still need to wait six quarters of an hour? Okay, I’ll wait for you.]
Meng Yu: [Well-behaved.jpg]
Lin Qichi replied with the same expression, not letting Meng Yu’s message fall to the bottom, switched pages, and turned the battle fire towards Chen Yan.
Wen Ren Yi: [Boss Chen, where are you?]
Calm as Still Water (Chen Yan): [Listening to music.]
Wen Ren Yi: [?]
Calm as Still Water (Chen Yan): [Brother Wen Ren, save me! Your wife is going to eat me!]
Wen Ren Yi: [We’re friends, right?]
Calm as Still Water (Chen Yan): [Yes, yes, yes! Save me!]
Wen Ren Yi: [What’s the next line after “a friend’s wife”?]
Calm as Still Water: [, you’re welcome.]
Wen Ren Yi: [You wait.]
The Yin energy on the lower level gathered and dispersed, having lost its center and unable to pose a threat.
Lin Qichi didn’t know if Chen Yan could still be as calm as still water, but his “you’re welcome” made him a little splashy.
The two evil ghosts on the first floor had already been controlled. All that was left was to wait for them to find the clues and reincarnate them one by one.
Lin Qichi left that sword below. If the male ghost moved, the golden sword would tear him apart.
The protective shields on Wen Ren Shu and the others could isolate their vitality. Unless the ghost’s strength was more than three times theirs, even if he died, no ghost would find them.
Wen Ren Shu noticed that his brother was about to go up, tapped the protective shield, and his words were transmitted separately.
“Brother, are you going up to find Boss Chen?”
Lin Qichi waved his hand without turning his head, and also transmitted separately: “And your sister-in-law.”
Wen Ren Shu understood. Instead of trying to stop him, he might as well secretly contact the main family with En Sihan and the others.
The building made of Yin energy was very unstable. Lin Qichi went up the stairs, not staying too long on the middle floors, and went directly to the top floor.
“Two Gods play positions, the middle supplements the missing. Now there are two in the lower position, so there should also be two in the upper position.”
Lin Qichi slowly climbed the steps, trying to delay the time. He didn’t know what Chen Yan and Meng Yu were doing. If it was really… then he accepted it.
He would later “reason” with both of them together. Lin Qichi grinded his teeth, and his pace unconsciously quickened a bit.
Not to mention ninety minutes, he should have arrived in nine minutes.
The closer he got to the top floor, the more obvious the strange music became.
