Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 144 The amulet is broken... Hypnosis?

"what!"

Screams erupted, and chaos ensued.

Bansha's assistants and servants screamed and rushed to help him up, while bystanders were terrified and backed away from the scene.

"What happened?" the orchestra leader asked in surprise.

The people around shook their heads, while the leader of another folk music troupe looked around and asked, "Was he shot?"

When Bansha suddenly flew backward, it did indeed look like he had been hit by a bullet.

The surrounding crowd looked around, then turned to the center of the crowd and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Didn't you hear any gunshots?"

"And the direction is wrong too. He's facing the restaurant wall."

"Sudden onset? Epilepsy?"

"It's not epilepsy. Look, he's not moving at all. Is he already dead?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Bansha and found that his face and clothes were covered in blood, his eyes were closed, and it was unclear from a distance whether he was still breathing.

His assistant didn't dare to move him, so he could only lay him flat while shouting and dialing emergency numbers to call an ambulance.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi held hands and stepped back. Two Hengta Group employees who had been in the corner came forward and pulled them away from the crowd.

The two women stepped out, and Xiao Ya noticed that Jiang Shishi's hands were still trembling slightly, so she tightened her grip on her hands, "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Shishi shook her head, pursed her lips tightly, held Xiao Ya's hand with one hand and her phone with the other, ignoring the blood splattered on the food on the table, and turned to the band leader, saying, "Don't stand here in a daze, let's go back first."

The orchestra leaders, seeing Jiang Shishi's pale face, assumed she was frightened and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, let's go back first. With something like this happening, we won't be able to have dinner."

At this moment, everyone in the restaurant had stopped eating and were looking at the commotion. Even the person in charge of the banquet came over with a group of waiters to wait.

Bansha had an accident in public and had no contact with the folk music troupe, so no one at the scene connected the incident with the troupe. Most people thought he had suddenly fallen ill, so the folk music troupe members left smoothly and returned to the hotel.

People who had nothing to do with the matter complained that they didn't eat well and could only go back to the hotel to order takeout or find something simple to eat nearby.

Jiang Shishi, who had just finished her performance and was still complaining of being hungry, had no appetite at all and pulled Xiao Ya back to their hotel room.

Xiao Ya finally noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Shishi. "What's wrong with you? I've never seen you so timid before?"

Jiang Shishi didn't say a word, just shook her head, then took out her phone and nervously and tremblingly removed the phone case.

Following Jiang Shishi's movements, Xiao Ya saw that after the phone case was removed, there was no yellow paper folded into a triangle inside, but a clump of light white ash.

"what happened?"

Xiao Ya was surprised, and then subconsciously took out her phone, removed the phone case, and found that the yellow paper talisman was still safely placed inside.

“Even if the phone gets hot, it shouldn’t be this bad…” Xiao Ya suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, met Jiang Shishi’s eyes, and saw the panic in Jiang Shishi’s eyes.

"Was that just now?" Xiao Ya asked in shock.

Jiang Shishi nodded and gritted her teeth, saying, "When that Ban Sha looked at me just now, I felt like his eyes were like a whirlpool, and my mind went blank for a moment."

"Hypnosis?" That was the first thing Xiao Ya thought of.

“It’s possible!” Jiang Shishi nodded again. “Then I felt my left hand getting hot, my brain regained its ability to think, and then that guy suddenly vomited blood and flew away.”

Xiao Ya recalled for a moment, "You were holding your phone in your left hand at the time."

"That's right, it was this talisman that saved me," Jiang Shishi said with lingering fear. "Otherwise, I would have been hypnotized." Ban Sha invited them to have a late-night snack, and worried that they would refuse, he even went so far as to use hypnosis to make them agree. It's easy to imagine what would happen to them after that.

No wonder Jiang Shishi was trembling all over; she was terrified.

But now that she's back at the hotel, she feels relieved and can finally calmly tell Xiao Ya about it.

"This amulet is amazing!" Xiao Ya exclaimed, looking at the amulet in her hand.

Jiang Shishi was also incredulous, "It can even break the hypnosis."

"Not only can it break hypnosis, but it can also fight back. It's so intelligent!" Xiao Ya added, then couldn't help but ask, "That person isn't dead, is he?"

"I don't know?" Jiang Shishi shook her head blankly, then gritted her teeth in resentment, "She deserved to die!"

Xiao Ya nodded. Such a bad person certainly didn't deserve pity, but...

"If he's dead, that's fine, but if he's not, will he realize that it was our counterattack that injured him?" Xiao Ya asked nervously.

Jiang Shishi couldn't help but swallow hard. "I don't think so, right?"

"It's hard to say!" Xiao Ya frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Don't go shopping tomorrow. Just stay at the hotel with the group. Don't go out alone and don't give them a chance."

"Without evidence, they wouldn't dare do anything to us, and we're going back tomorrow afternoon."

Xiao Ya glanced at the triangular talisman inside the phone case, then closed the case. "Just in case, you and I will stay together tomorrow and not separate."

Jiang Shishi nodded repeatedly.

The talisman proved its effectiveness; now, without its protection, Jiang Shishi feels very insecure.

After this incident, the two women didn't dare to go out. So they ate some snacks they had brought with them, tidied up, and went to bed.

"Gu Zhao is amazing!"

"It's just like in the movie!"

"So the amulet's function wasn't just to cure diseases and maintain health; it could actually protect you!"

It was still early, and the events of the past had been quite exciting, so the two women couldn't sleep. They chatted casually, but their eyes were shining, clearly indicating that they had made up their minds.

……

Wang Runheng would inquire about the folk music troupe's schedule every two or three days.

It wasn't that he was worried about anything going wrong; after all, it's rare for anything to go wrong in a semi-official group performance like this. It was just that this was the first time Gu Zhao had asked him for a favor, and he had to do it perfectly so that he could build a relationship with him in the future.

Wang Runheng felt it was worthwhile to make a half-minute phone call to get the person in charge to pay more attention.

Then he learned about what happened tonight.

The two people he arranged were just Hengta Group's representatives in Southeast Asia. They had not experienced the negotiations in Hong Kong and simply thought that Bansa had a sudden illness.

They usually had nothing to report, and their reports were dry and uninformed, as if they hadn't done any work. So this time, they reported the matter and also mentioned their contribution.

"We were nearby at the time, and we quickly pulled the two ladies out and then followed them back to the hotel," one of them reported.

But these words shook Wang Runheng to his core.

This scene was exactly the same as what happened when he was negotiating in Hong Kong. Thinking of the sorcerers in Siamese legends, Wang Runheng dared not be negligent and ordered sternly, "You must protect them well. I will buy tickets to Siam right now, and they will arrive tonight!"
