There's something wrong with me

Chapter 192 Return to Fate 5

Chapter 192 Return to Fate 5
Yin energy is different from malevolent energy.

It's like a neutralization of malevolent energy and human warmth, presenting a faint gray hue.

Now they are surrounding the father and daughter.

Neither the father nor the daughter noticed.

"Please, Master, exorcise this demon!"

However, the middle-aged man believed it and felt that this master must have some skill.

'They're clearly just echoing what we're saying...'

The girl thought all con artists were the same.

"Let's go." Zhang Feng only spoke to the guardian, asking him to lead the way.

They also felt that this father and daughter must be the people involved in the mission.

Because the backtracking task has only one key point, it is impossible for multiple points to occur.

After leaving the store.

Zhang Feng casually pulled the door open, locked it, and looked at the girl beside him.

"Hello, Uncle!" The girl smiled sweetly, as if she had just met Zhang Feng that very second.

'Have you forgotten me?' Zhang Feng saw the yin energy beside her head and exhaled slightly, just like normal breathing.

With a silent fluctuation, Zhang Feng swallowed all the yin energy emanating from the girl and the middle-aged man in front of him.

It's alright for lunch, better than nothing.

Zhang Feng was proficient in the cultivation methods of various categories, and swallowing these unclaimed Yin Sha for cultivation was a piece of cake for him, no different from an ordinary person eating.

The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations and spiritual consciousness within the body can be completely integrated into oneself, becoming part of one's own constitution.

And at this moment.

Zhang Feng has mastered the 'observation techniques' of each element and integrated them into his spiritual consciousness, enabling him to see these things.

However, when needed, one must use spiritual thought to activate the "observation rune" of the "corresponding element," which is not as convenient as having the ability to see spirits.

Moreover, it's not as clear as having the ability to see ghosts.

"Grandmaster……"

At this moment, the middle-aged man walked up to an ordinary sedan and invited Zhang Feng to get in.

After a few seconds of bewilderment, the girl walked over in a daze.

Zhang Fengyuan looked at the car from a distance, and after finding no danger inside, he walked over.

"Mr. Zhang, you've got some business?"

The shopkeepers around were amazed when they saw Zhang Feng get into a car; they never expected that Master Zhang had managed to fool another person.

……

On the way to his house, Zhang Feng roughly understood what the ghost story was all about.

First of all.

There were indeed many strange things happening in his house, such as lights being turned on for no reason, or a draft under the bed when he got out of bed in the middle of the night.

If this wasn't intentional on their part, then this ominous aura is to blame.

Then there's probably something there.

"Let me explain this 'wind under the bed' thing in detail."

While looking out the window, Zhang Feng also inquired carefully, wanting to know the details.

"Grandmaster……"

The middle-aged man explained things in detail while driving.

"Uncle..." In the passenger seat, the girl seemed to suddenly change her personality, becoming trusting of Zhang Feng, and gesturing with her slender arms to show her fair legs.

"When I got out of bed at night, it felt like something was blowing air onto my calves from under the bed..."

In her words, I always felt a sense of peace and comfort when I was with Zhang Feng.

Even when talking about things that made her scalp tingle, she didn't feel any fear.

Unlike when she first entered the store, when her father mentioned strange things and she felt a chill and shiver.

As for the natural feeling that arises when one is around Zhang Feng.

Although the girl didn't understand anything about cultivating immortality or anything else, she knew that this uncle must be a capable person!
Because in the ghost stories on TV, the victims always calm down when a master appears.

This makes her speak very fluently.

As Zhang Feng listened, she also learned that sometimes she would muster up her courage and grit her teeth to look under the bed, but she would find nothing but the usual clutter.

And during these past few days, she even called her father, and together they lifted the bed and moved away the clutter.

There was nothing there either.

His parents also felt this blowing sensation, especially when they got out of bed at night.

They also suspected that the problem lay with them, or that the whole family was acting out of their own minds.

It was just that her mother went on a business trip out of town the day before yesterday.

When the father and daughter called their mother to ask if she still felt that way while she was away,...

My mother said that it was there on the first day, but it was gone on the second day.

Based on these events, the father concluded that the problem lay in the house, which is why he came to find Zhang Feng.

However, through further understanding...

Zhang Feng also knew that the girl had inexplicably called the police yesterday, thinking that a thief had broken into her house.

The police did come yesterday.

Her father even talked about ghosts.

After a thorough inspection, the police reached a conclusion.

The two of them had rather strange ideas, especially the girl's fickle nature, which was extremely peculiar.

Therefore, it was suggested that the father and daughter go to the hospital for a check-up.

Zhang Feng found this interesting, but he also knew that there probably weren't any special departments or training methods in this world.

Otherwise, such an unnatural event would most likely have been reported.

But now, they can find themselves.

That also proves that this ghost is rare.

Otherwise, if ghosts and monsters become rampant or their numbers are too large, the relevant authorities will certainly react.

After all, the girl's fickle nature and the things about ghosts were too abnormal.

In reality, even without supernatural abilities, similar casualties in the past would certainly attract attention.

As for this fickleness...

There are clues to follow.

Now, with the help of virtual technology, Zhang Feng is also able to dissect the underlying principles.

First, once the mind is invaded by evil energy, if no one controls it, its basic function is to cause forgetfulness and fatigue, similar to the yellow weasel in the well.

In more severe cases, their behavior patterns may differ from those of ordinary people.

For example, the father and daughter suddenly point to a flowerpot and say it's braised pork, and they're eating dirt with relish.

Zhang Feng also thought it was normal.

Because as they become more susceptible to evil influences, their physical senses will also be altered.

This involves damage and interference to neurons.

Based on his research in the virtual world, Zhang Feng is now able to modify some of the other party's neurons using 'spiritual consciousness'.

However, the micromanagement won't be that detailed; at most, it will be about making them feel that the flower tastes good, or controlling their behavior patterns.

It's similar to a kind of 'evil energy illusion'.

From the current perspective...

This malevolent energy triggers their effects randomly.

Furthermore, this father and daughter were also affected by the underlying factors, but not severely.

This also indirectly proves that the ghosts and monsters that harmed them were not very powerful.

I haven't been to their house yet.

Zhang Feng deduced the opponent's strength from this; if calculated by realm, it should be around the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

If it sees itself, it will die.

……

Twenty minutes later.

We arrived at the building where he lived.

This is an old-style courtyard house surrounded by six-story residential buildings.

We arrived at the entrance of Building No. 2.

His house is on the third floor.

Zhang Fengchao glanced up. His window was open, and there was no yin energy emanating from near the security bars.

"Master, please..."

A middle-aged man and a young girl led the way.

Zhang Feng didn't think much of it and went up there empty-handed.

open the door.

Zhang Feng noticed that the room was still filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and there was a pair of mud-covered construction rubber boots placed at the door.

The yin energy above is even stronger.

Where did the shoes come from?

Zhang Feng asked a question and then looked around the living room.

"On-site, construction site," the middle-aged man answered truthfully. "The company has contracted a construction site in the suburbs, and I'm currently there taking measurements."

"How many people were taking measurements?" Zhang Feng sensed that the evil spirit must have originated from the scene. "Has anything been amiss with your colleagues lately?"

"Master, are you saying there's a problem with that construction site?" The middle-aged man, after hearing the master ask this question repeatedly, seemed to realize something and carefully recalled:

"I didn't actually ask my colleagues carefully, especially since I took leave two days ago, so I'm not very clear about this. Should I ask them?"

"Hmm." Zhang Feng went to the bedroom next door and glanced into the girl's parents' room.

It's not chaotic yet.

He scanned under the bed with his spiritual sense again, but there was nothing there.

"Uncle..." the girl then opened her door, "Could you please check if there's anything in my room..."

When they finally arrived home, especially after seeing what might be dirty, the girl became a little scared.

If Zhang Feng hadn't been standing there, she probably would have run away.

"No." Zhang Feng had already seen it; his spiritual sense had the ability to see through things, so he didn't need her to open the door.

Of course, this is not gentlemanly, but when it comes to important matters, we shouldn't talk about such trivial details.

"No..." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, but asked curiously, "Then why is there wind? I closed all the doors and windows when I went to sleep last night."

"Yes." The father, who was dialing a number and waiting for his colleague to answer, also looked over.

Zhang Feng pointed to their shoe cabinet and said, "Your rubber shoes have evil energy on them, so... never mind, you can't see the evil energy anyway."

Before they could ask or answer, Zhang Feng pointed a finger at their brows and used his spiritual energy to draw lines on their faces.

The next second, they were surprised to find that the whole world seemed clearer.

And we saw plumes of black smoke coming from their shoe cabinet.

"This is the evil spirit."

Ignoring their shock, Zhang Feng continued, "If your slippers and rubber shoes are left together, they will definitely be contaminated with evil energy."

When I went to bed at night, I left my slippers by the bedside. The late night aggravated the yin energy, making it linger for a long time.

In particular, you also have Yin energy on you, and these Yin energy are from the same source.

So when you get out of bed and touch your slippers, a natural mingling occurs, and there will definitely be a 'wind' moving around.

This wind is not a normal wind, but rather a fluctuation generated when two evil forces merge.

This fluctuation also triggered your body's instinctive self-protection, causing your hair to stand on end, ultimately forming a nerve signal as if blown by the wind.

As Zhang Feng spoke, he looked at the two people who were becoming increasingly shocked.
Ultimately, it is your spirit that is telling you to stay away from these slippers.

It's just that you haven't cultivated yourselves or possess the Yin Sha Eye, so it's difficult for you to interpret these warnings that come from your instincts.

We humans, like animals, possess a kind of premonition about nature and disasters, and it is even more profound.

But it's too profound. Without cultivation, it's difficult to decipher these 'whims' that only exist in mythology.

Because it is a kind of spiritual 'supernatural power'.

Zhang Feng explained the ghost under the bed and elaborated on the concept of "innate supernatural powers" in terms of the mind.

But the father and daughter were completely bewildered.

If it weren't for the Yin Sha Eye, they might not care.

However, it is precisely because they possess the Yin Sha Eye and this knowledge that their worldview is completely shattered.

"Well..." Perhaps still clinging to a sliver of hope, the middle-aged man asked hesitantly, "Sometimes the lights turn on by themselves, what's going on..."

“Yes, the light…” The girl also looked at Zhang Feng, but she completely trusted him, even more than her father had initially trusted this master.

She was just curious about how the lights were turned on. But Zhang Feng's next sentence surprised them.
"You opened it yourselves."

"Ourselves?"

"I?"

The two looked at Zhang Feng in disbelief, because they remembered that they had never driven it.

Zhang Feng pointed to the middle-aged man's phone, "Did you get through to your colleague?"

"No..." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Then turn on the camera." Zhang Feng told him to turn on the camera and had the girl hold it.

Then Zhang Fengling used his spiritual energy to interfere with the middle-aged man's thinking.

Middle age is like sleepwalking; someone turned on the living room light.

To the girl, this seemed normal; she didn't realize that her father was being controlled by Zhang Feng.

Then Zhang Feng used another part of his spiritual power to control the girl, handing her phone to her father and instructing her to turn on the kitchen light.

Finally, release your spiritual consciousness.

Zhang Feng looked at the two of them.

"Dad, why are you holding your phone?" The girl at the kitchen door looked at her hand. She remembered that she had just taken a picture in the living room.

"Me?" Her father was also puzzled, remembering that he had just handed the phone to his daughter.

"The answer is in the video."

Zhang Feng pointed to his phone.

As they watched, an even greater sense of lingering fear appeared in their eyes.

Zhang Fengyan said, "The evil energy will affect your thinking, causing you to unconsciously do things you often do without your knowledge."

For example, when you're at home at night, you unconsciously turn the lights on and off—that's something you do frequently.

"This...this..." The middle-aged man stared at his phone, at a loss for words.

The girl was so astonished that she was speechless.

Everything that happened today is difficult for them to process and understand.

"Let's go to your construction site."

Zhang Feng acted swiftly and decisively. After confirming that there were no problems at home, he went downstairs directly.

"it is good……"

The father and daughter were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed, also grabbing rubber shoes and several pairs of slippers, seemingly preparing to throw them away.

"No need to waste it, just let it air dry." Zhang Feng glanced at them as he came downstairs.

They seemed quite determined to throw it away.

After all, the thought of that malevolent aura is terrifying.

Zhang Feng did not try to persuade him.

"Master..." The middle-aged man still had some sense of responsibility, worried that littering would disturb others. "Where should we throw it..."

“A trash can will do.” Zhang Feng came downstairs. “Don’t worry, as long as we stay away from the source of the evil energy for a few days, the evil energy upstairs will dissipate.”

It's like your loved one; if they go far away, the negative energy on your shoes will dissipate after a day.

With that, Zhang Feng got into his family's car.

Just after the father and daughter finished throwing the shoes.

Huhu—

A police car suddenly appeared in the distance, followed by two vans.

Three cars blocked the small passageway downstairs.

At the same time, people got out of the car: two law enforcement officers and more than a dozen Taoist priests dressed in robes.

Behind them were three more men.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Feng also got out of the car and looked at the middle-aged man who had just thrown away the trash ten meters behind him.

"They are my colleagues!" The middle-aged man walked over quickly and suddenly said to Zhang Feng.

"Colleagues?" Zhang Feng looked at the dozen or so people who came over and understood why the middle-aged man couldn't get through on the phone.

It seems the authorities were indeed prepared, and these three people probably signed some confidentiality agreement.

"Mr. Xun."

At this moment, law enforcement officers approached the middle-aged man's car, showing their identification while looking at him.
"We just received a notification that there's a problem at your construction site."

As he said this, he looked at the girl and Zhang Feng.

Then the people behind them took out three copies of the agreement.

Fortunately, no one was downstairs, otherwise, signing in this situation would have caused delays for getting on and off the bus.

Zhang Feng glanced at it, signed it, and wanted to see what would happen next.

Unexpectedly, law enforcement officers directly invited Zhang Feng and the other two to get into the van behind them.

Several Taoist priests, holding a talisman for warding off evil spirits, found the shoes they had just thrown away in the trash can and carefully wrapped them up.

At the same time, a Taoist priest looked at Zhang Feng, who was dressed as a feng shui master.
“Fellow Daoist, some people with higher cultivation levels actually know that this item contains malevolent energy.”

As he spoke, he shook his head again, "But carelessly throwing away objects imbued with malevolent energy could harm other people."

"yes……"

"What my uncle says is true..."

The other Taoists nodded in agreement and looked at Zhang Feng as if he were a novice.

In their minds, Zhang Feng must be a self-taught Taoist priest with only a smattering of knowledge.

'Did we do something wrong?' The father and daughter dared not speak when they saw such a formal and secretive procedure.

Seeing that everyone seemed to only have a vague understanding, Zhang Feng didn't bother to explain the principle of the dissipating evil energy again, as he would to his father and daughter.

Whether you have the ability or not, you'll find out when you get there.

But this world is indeed quite nice.

There really are relevant organizations.

However, this organization is not an official entity, but rather a cultivation sect that acts as an advisor.

Zhang Feng used his spiritual sense to see all the hidden information in their bags at a glance.

Looking at their skill levels, none of these dozen or so people are very strong.

In the car ahead, the leading Taoist priest had also achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and had a physique of 120.

The remaining disciples were all just beginning to develop Qi, with their physical constitution ranging from 30 to 50.

They don't focus much on tempering the body with spiritual energy, but rather on advancing their cultivation realm.

Because the normal level of Qi cultivation at its peak should be around 170-195 cm.

……

An hour later, we arrived at our destination.

It's a construction site in the wilderness; the fence hasn't been built yet, and it's still in the surveying stage.

In another corner, there is a pit that is half a meter deep.

A sinister aura emanates from below.

Zhang Feng immediately recognized it as a mass of malevolent energy condensed from the ground.

It was formed naturally over hundreds or thousands of years within the rich spiritual energy of this world.

If someone is about to die and is buried here, then this evil energy is very likely to carry the person's undying neurons, eventually forming a malevolent spirit.

If not, then it's just a mass of pollutants.

But precisely because someone actually died here, and there are corpses buried below, this evil aura has become a ghost.

The Taoists who came here were unaware of this, and instead used talismans to search for evil spirits while having the middle-aged men quickly point out the exact location.

Make sure the position of the magic circle is absolutely 'spot on the bullseye'.

Zhang Feng was also eager to learn, and he watched them set up a magic array for the first time.

About ten minutes.

The peach wood sword for slaying demons and the resurrection incense for making demons appear are arranged.

Several talismans for warding off evil spirits were pasted around the perimeter.

A dozen or so Taoist priests stood ready.

"Revealed!"

The leading Taoist priest gave a short shout and threw a simple talisman, similar to an explosive talisman, into the pit, making the ghost fully visible.

The soil in this area has been seeped into evil soil, and ghosts cannot escape on their own.

In its simple thinking, it also involves waiting for the construction site to start, then borrowing manpower to break ground.

And then the talisman was thrown on the ground.

With a loud bang, the soil exploded, creating a crater about an inch in size.

At the same time, a thick cloud of black smoke, invisible to the naked eye, slowly emerged.

Its malevolent aura was far greater than that of the Taoist priest.

Crash-

At this moment, the cold wind intensified, causing the temperature in the vicinity to drop several degrees.

And as the resurrection incense wafted, the eerie wind gradually took shape, appearing as a strange green to people's eyes.

Everything seemed like a demon about to be unleashed, about to devour everything here.

"It's an evil spirit!"

Upon seeing such a dense aura of malevolent energy, the Taoist priest was terrified. His hands trembled so badly that he almost dropped the peach wood sword in his grasp.

"Master..."

"My legs are stiff..."

"I want to go home..."

Their disciples were even worse off, trembling in fear, and some even tried to run away.

But in Zhang Feng's view, it's fine to leave now, since it's still a long way off before the ghosts come out.

It seems like it's about to be released, but in reality, there's still a five-minute animation before its official debut.

Because of its large size, a one-inch opening is still too small.

It's daytime again now, and it needs to get used to it.

Given the one-month time limit, Zhang Feng felt that the normal procedure should be that he saw he couldn't subdue it, then he would lead everyone to escape and find more demon hunters to achieve the goal of exorcising the demon together.

It's like waiting for official rescue in a post-apocalyptic world.

It's like in the previous time and space world, waiting for other assistance.

But now, my strength is far beyond what is required. I can completely dominate the world and don't need to wait for any external help according to the rules in the text.

He pondered this, while everyone else was filled with fear.

Zhang Feng stepped forward, exhaled, and his fingers, as if descending from the heavens, drew a faintly visible wave of spiritual energy in the air.

"cut!"

Boom!

The earth seemed to tremble. The fusion of the exorcising talisman and the fire spike caused the spiritual energy to surge and burn, creating a scorching impact that instantly dispersed the billowing green smoke that was about five meters high.

Amidst the green smoke that had been cleaved apart a second earlier, a faint, fiery red sword slash mark could be seen, splitting it in two.

this moment.

Everyone froze in place.

In their eyes, how could this be considered a feng shui master from the martial arts world?

This is clearly a celestial master who is proficient in divine magic!

……

You killed the evil spirit, you saved all the victims.

You changed fate; you saved most of the victims in the nearby town.

You slayed the evil spirit within the allotted time.

[You received a destiny reward]
