With an eye as green as a bean and tiny as a dot, the leader suddenly opened wide.
"He is puncturing a dummy with needles, probably over a thousand times every night."
My face flickered slightly, and I felt a covering of goosebumps all over my body.
Needle...
Regarding the life in the twelve zodiac houses?
No, Wei Youming could never have given his life to the twelve zodiac houses, but could it be that he has learned some methods of death-dealing from Sun Zhuo?
Wei Youming once told me, "The way to cure is not necessarily to erase."
What was his goal?
Was it to also remove unwanted life from me?
"You're absolutely right, it's not about the fear of a thousand potential failures, but one. I think your chance of failure is exactly that one in a thousand. The gau huang ghost is not easy to deal with. The plan I'm talking about may involve some risks, but as they say, wealth and rank are often sought in danger. Trust me, you won't go wrong." The leader reached out and patted my shoulder.
My response was to shake my head.
The leader furrowed his brow again, wanting to explain further.
"I received a fan from Mao Yousan, and Wei Youming can handle it three times." I pulled out my bamboo folding fan from my waist.
The leader has to be convinced of me before he will do as I ask.
He will always hesitate as long as he doesn't see something.
"The owner of the third bamboo fan... " The leader's pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze fell upon the one in my hand.
"You have to ensure that there is no chance of failure. If the gau huang ghost escapes after it arrives, the consequences will be dire, and both of us will surely die!" The leader's tone finally changed, carrying a sense of gravity.
I nodded, assuring him that I understood.
Later, the leader turned and left the sixth-floor room, the sound of his steps growing distant.
I remained at the window, watching below.
Not long after, the leader appeared near the hospital building and hurriedly walked in the direction of the staff dormitory complex.
I looked at the other corners of the room.
All things are ready, waiting for the east wind.
Time passed slowly. I watched the direction where the leader had disappeared, but for a while, the gau huang ghost did not appear.
Suddenly, my thoughts wandered to the contents of the letter from Old Qin's head, which said that I could not control the earth's Qi.
After a moment of deep thought, it indeed was so.
The appearance of earth Qi comes from moments of narrowly escaping death.
In fact, if the opponent does not take extreme measures to kill me, it is difficult to trigger it.
For example, just when I was brought to the core of the ghost pavilion and handed over to Sun Dahai, the earth Qi was initially useless.
This is why it is impossible to control!
But I suddenly thought of another point.
It's that during the time in the supervision arena when blood was used to save the vengeance ghost, the earth Qi came into play!
At that time, the vengeance ghost was about to drain me dry!
Suddenly, my heart trembled, and I pulled out a razor blade. The edge of the blade suddenly slashed across my wrist!
Blood flowed steadily, like a broken line, dripping onto the ground and quickly forming a large pool.
A wave of dizziness began to rise from the depths of my mind.
The rate of blood loss was comparable to that of the chicken blood vine bracelet.
However, before the feeling of near exhaustion could set in, a faint black aura began to emanate from the wound, gradually covering the blood on the ground.
In the past, the appearance of earth Qi was to attack those who were detrimental to me.
Since there are no people who are against me in front of me, the black aura has formed a thin mist-like existence, crawling up my body.
The cool sensation fills me up, and the feeling of weakness vanishes completely, as if I never bled.
My heart was thumping, and my temples were pulsating.
The earth Qi, isn't this controlling it?
Suddenly, I felt a gaze, coming from the pitch-black earth Qi on the ground.
It's as if there were eyes staring straight at me within it.
"Qiyuyu..." I lowered my voice and called out.
In fact, I'd rather call her the Headless Woman, but the Headless Woman is not a name.
The earth Qi in front of me, there are already quite a few ghosts. The characteristics of the Plague-Eating Ghost can trigger a wave of zombie chaos.
When the ghosts that the earth Qi eats are enough in number, and the large amount of earth Qi spills out, isn't that a zombie chaos?
Here, there's no need for all the ghosts to appear; just a few, perhaps two or three, would suffice!
The feeling of being watched suddenly became stronger.
A slender and white arm protruded from the edge of the earth Qi, and soon, the Headless Woman emerged from the earth Qi, standing beside me.
I couldn't help but smile, my joy evident on my face.
Indeed, facing a perilous situation, humans can always break through certain limits!
Old Qin, you were mistaken!
At this moment, my peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a shadow downstairs, black-red and extra eerie.
The gau huang ghost was lured here by the leader!
"Nine elder!" I lowered my voice and shouted again.
For a moment, the earth Qi remained silent and did not react.
Suddenly, a ghostly figure shot up, dressed in slightly tattered Daoist robes and covered by a mask on his face.
The tall figure was familiar yet strange!
It was none other than the Ninth Elder!
The Ninth Elder's body was slightly bent, as if bowing to me.
I felt a sense of peace in my heart!
"Eliminate the invading ghosts," I said with a extremely cold gaze.
The Ninth Elder turned around, and the masked face silently gazed at the door.
His tall figure perfectly blocked me behind him.
The Headless Woman floated lightly to the side of the door, hugging the wall and quietly waiting.
In a few minutes, I heard faint footsteps, and in the next instant, a thin black-red ghostly figure appeared at the door!
A skull-like head with almost no flesh and blood.
A pair of black, blood-colored eyes were vigilantly staring into the room.
The next instant, his lips trembled slightly.
"Ninth Elder?" The sound of Yin Yi's voice was unfamiliar and ethereal; ghostly voices are always like aimless floaters.
"Hmm," the Ninth Elder answered indifferently.
"You said that Wu Yong had an evil spirit enter here. I never thought it was you!"
The tone of the gau huang ghost fluctuated, full of surprise.
"Where have you been? Do you know that something big happened in the ghost pavilion!"
"Sun Zhuo might have been exposed and is now being targeted by the Twenty-Eight Prisons. I wanted to save him, but I was captured here as well!"
"The leader of the Jinyang region was killed by Han Zafei's lightning strike, and the Ghost Pavilion suffered great losses this time!"
"You are here to save Sun Zhuo, right?"
"I need to save Sun Zhuo and come up with a good plan. The trust the supervision arena has in Sun Zhuo should start to wane."
"How did you find your way here? Do you have any allies?"
"I am short on incense, my spirit body is starting to weaken, and I was also split off a bit of my soul by Wei Youming. I cannot disobey him."
"You must save Sun Zhuo, but you must also save me at the same time..."
The gau huang ghost spoke quickly, walking directly towards the Ninth Elder.
My eyelids were twitching violently.
By chance, the Ninth Elder is indeed one of the core figures of the Ghost Pavilion. I didn't expect him to directly lure the gau huang ghost without precautions!
The Headless Woman floated over to the gau huang ghost and lifted his head with both hands.
Previously, he wasn't so vigilant. Suddenly, he reacted and tried to turn around.
At this moment, the Ninth Elder moved!
He took a step forward, and with a huge hand like a fan, he tightly pressed it on the gau huang ghost's face!
The Headless Woman's hands instantly cradled the gau huang ghost's neck and pulled it upwards!
