"You go back and wait for me!"
It was clear that Lao Zhang was a bit anxious, and in his haste, he only said this before quickly disappearing into the distance.
With Lao Zhang gone, naturally, I didn't dare to stay here for long. I hastily picked up a few talismans from the ground and hurried back to my residence.
Running back to the "shabby room," I quickly locked the door, but couldn't help feeling a bit nervous, afraid that the so-called "shadow woman" would come looking for me.
That "shadow woman" had just split into a dozen resentful spirits. If any of them followed me to the shabby room, it would be no joke. After all, I didn't have the ability of Lao Zhang!
To be on the safe side, I not only pasted Lao Zhang's talisman on the door but also played the "Great Compassion Mantra" on my computer, whether it would be effective or not, at least it could provide some psychological comfort.
As it turned out, this thing really was of no use. Not only was the "Great Compassion Mantra" ineffective, but even the talisman on the door had no effect at all.
The "Great Compassion Mantra" had only just played halfway when I suddenly heard a "creak" sound, and the door, which had already been locked, was suddenly opened?
"Oh my god!"
At the moment the door was pushed open, my heart practically skipped a beat, and at the same time, I couldn't help but take two steps back.
This was truly a case of 'what you fear the most, comes'. The thing I was most worried about had indeed happened. At the instant the door was pushed open, a blurry figure drifted in from outside, and from the looks of it, if it wasn't "Zhang Yao," then who else could it be?
"Ssss... Wang Lin... Lin..."
Zhang Yao's figure slowly drifted in front of me, and finally floated in the air less than a meter away from me. But her voice was unusually elusive, sometimes near and sometimes far, sometimes loud and sometimes small, with a strong sense of stereo, as if it came from the ground, but also seemed to come from the sky. It was very sharp for a while, and then very low, making my scalp tingle.
"Big... big... sis, we have no grudges in recent days and no grievances in the past, why are you staring at me like this!" With a terrified face, I looked at "Zhang Yao," my whole body was shaking, fortunately, I was holding onto the table, otherwise I would have collapsed on the ground long ago.
"Hmph!" As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Yao gave me a cold glare, and her eerie and menacing voice immediately came, "It had nothing to do with you, but since you had to meddle! I've already made a deal with her, when she gathers forty-nine lost souls, she will help me seek revenge! It's all your fault, you ruined my plan, go and die!"
Before I could react, Zhang Yao's eyes suddenly shot out a fierce light, and she raised her hands and reached for my neck.
"Get lost!" In a critical situation, I couldn't just sit and wait. In fact, as soon as Zhang Yao entered the room, I had silently bitten my tongue, planning to use my tongue's blood to deal with Zhang Yao!
However, as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. After being sprayed with my tongue's blood, Zhang Yao seemed to have learned a lesson and was also wary of me!
Almost as soon as I sprayed my tongue's blood, Zhang Yao, who had been floating in front of me, suddenly disappeared without a trace. But my tongue's blood, not deviating at all, was all spewed out onto my bed.
At the same time, a chilling wind suddenly came from behind me!
"Oops!" My heart suddenly chilled, before I could make any response, an invisible force instantly enveloped my whole body. The bone-chilling cold attacked, my body seemed to be acupunctured and couldn't move at all. My neck felt like it was being strangled, making it difficult to breathe, and I quickly turned red.
"Men, not a good bunch!" The disappearing Zhang Yao once again floated in front of me, cursing with resentment, while her five sharp nails had slashed directly through my chest clothes, exposing my entire chest to her.
Looking at the direction of her nails, it was clearly aimed at my heart, was she trying to tear out my heart?
"Go to hell!" With a wicked smile, dense resentment suddenly burst out from her body, the sharp nails fiercely pierced towards my chest!
"Finished! I'm done for this time!" Watching Zhang Yao's finger coming towards me, a sense of despair flashed in my eyes, but in my heart, I felt extremely unwilling! I don't want to die, I'm only twenty years old. I still have my youth to enjoy! More importantly, I'm still a virgin!
No! I can't die yet! My parents only have me, their only son. If I die, what will happen to them? Who will take care of them in their old age?
At this point, an overwhelming anger suddenly rose from deep within me, as if it was going to directly burst out of my heart.
Why should I die young? I was so sympathetic to Zhang Yao before, and now, she's trying to end my life?
"Ah--" The pain in my chest drove me crazy, I couldn't even tell whether I was screaming in horror or roaring in anger. At that moment, all I felt was my blood boiling! The pain and itch in my chest, as if something was constantly wriggling.
"Roar!" In a daze, I seemed to hear a thunderous roar, and then I rolled my eyes and fell to the ground, completely unconscious.
...
I don't know how long had passed, in a daze, I seemed to hear the voice of Old Zhang, mixed with that of a woman. But due to my lack of consciousness, I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could only vaguely hear the words "change destiny" and "protect the Qinglong body".
"Hey! Wake up!" After sleeping for a while, in a daze, I suddenly felt a fiery pain on my cheek.
Damn, who the hell is hitting me?
Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw Old Zhang taking a sip of water, preparing to spray it onto my face.
"Do you still need to do that?" I subconsciously tried to reach out to stop him, but found that I was weak all over, as if I was drunk, and couldn't muster any strength.
"Puff--" Old Zhang's mouthful of water still sprayed onto my face.
"You son of a bitch!" With a jolt, I did feel more awake, couldn't help but glare at old Zhang fiercely.
"Hey, you finally woke up!" Old Zhang clearly ignored my angry stare and chuckled, "I was about to call an ambulance if you didn't wake up!"
"Damn! Are you doing this on purpose?" I glared at Old Zhang with annoyance and then asked, "What about the female ghost? Did you get rid of her?"
"Ah..." Speaking of the female ghost, Old Zhang couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh of regret, looking sorry, "Don't mention it, she escaped."
"What? She... escaped?" When I heard this, I was dumbfounded, and anxiously said, "Then why are you still here? Hurry up and go find her!"
If the "shadow woman" was so troublesome, and now she was seriously injured, wasn't it the best time to finish her off?
"Darn it! How dare you question me? Do you think I'm willing to wait for you?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang furiously blew his beard and stared, scolding, "If it weren't for your grandson being in a coma for three days and nights, I would have dragged that female ghost out a long time ago!"
"Huh?"
I couldn't believe it and instinctively asked, "I slept for three days and nights?"
"Nonsense!"
Old Zhang glared at me and then turned around. He threw a box of food in front of me and said angrily, "Just eat and tell me what happened here after I leave."
"Oh..."
I nodded, not being polite with him. I took the box of food and devoured it. Not having had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, no wonder I woke up feeling so weak. I thought I had just closed my eyes for a short while.
After finishing the box of food, I told Old Zhang everything that had happened after meeting Zhang Yao.
"Strange..."
After listening to my account, Old Zhang's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. "It shouldn't be like this. The little girl's ghost has clearly been absorbed by the shadow woman. She shouldn't have her own consciousness. How is this possible?"
Old Zhang frowned deeply, lost in thought. Not knowing what he was thinking about. Seeing him immersed in thought, I immediately closed my mouth, having initially had a lot of questions to ask him, and quietly waited by his side.
"Never mind... Forget about her. A ghost who just passed away seven days ago, no matter how powerful, can't be that powerful. The urgency now is to quickly resolve the 'shadow woman'!"
Old Zhang, unable to solve the puzzle, no longer dwelled on the matter. Instead, he suddenly turned to me and said with a smile, "You seem to have many questions to ask me?"
