Siheyuan: I Called the Police at the Beginning

Chapter 110 Evil Asura

"It's okay, just rent me the best room."

"Then give me the address and house number, and I'll live there."

Upon hearing the intermediary's words, Geng Ping'an knew that the plot had now progressed to the point where Kim Jung-jung would make his appearance.

In other words, it's Xu Xian reincarnated and pretending to be a ghost in the building.

Kim Jong-jung was performing a ritual involving burning paper money during the Ghost Festival, which was a complete mess.

Ah Ping, an honest man and a mama's boy, has thus become the most terrifying evil demon.

He planned to make everyone pay with their lives on the seventh day after his death.

Therefore, Jiajia Building is currently at its most empty, with a shortage of residents.

Seeing that Geng Ping'an was determined, the agent did not try to persuade him further.

After all, we are all adults and should be responsible for our own decisions.

He had done his duty by telling Geng Ping'an the details.

But if the employer insists on courting disaster, there's not much he can say.

I obtained the specific address from the intermediary.

Geng Pingan took a car and soon arrived at the entrance of Jiajia Building.

It has to be said that there are an extraordinary number of taxis in Hong Kong, so he doesn't need to buy a car for normal travel.

Just wave your hand on the street, and several taxis will rush up to pick you up.

"Sir, are you the one looking to rent a room?"

Because of prior contact from the agent, Zhenzhen's mother, who is also the wealthy widowed landlady of the building, was waiting at the door to receive him.

He said kindly.

"Sir, I've already spoken to the agent, but I don't know if he told you the inside story."

“Our area is haunted. If you’re not in a rush to rent a place, we suggest you wait a few days until the expert we found finishes dealing with the problem before you come over.”

"If you didn't know, I can refund your rent in full."

I know that Zhenzhen's mother, like Zhenzhen, is a kind and good-natured person in TV dramas.

Geng Pingan smiled.

"Don't worry, I know, and I've also studied Taoist arts, so I have quite a few ways to deal with ghosts."

Seeing that Geng Ping'an was full of confidence.

Zhenzhen's mother, without suspecting anything, immediately said with delight.

"That's great, we can have another helper."

"If you're willing to help, sir, I'm also willing to refund your rent. I just hope that I can help everyone in the building in the future."

"I heard this ghost is very fierce, I'm afraid Xiaoling won't be able to handle it alone."

Zhenzhen's mother is undoubtedly a wealthy woman; she is not short of money and is not stingy.

Upon hearing that Geng Ping'an could help, they immediately expressed their great sincerity.

At the same time, as an outsider, she had no idea of ​​the status of the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan within the circle, nor did she know how powerful Ma Xiaoling was.

However, Geng Ping'an naturally wouldn't ask for the rent back.

He repeatedly said that he helped out as a matter of convenience.

After all, Zhenzhen's mother is not short of money, but is he?
His wealth is comparable to that of a nation, a million times greater than that of Zhenzhen's mother, who merely owns a single building and is a landlady.

I've already spoken with Zhenzhen's mom.

Geng Pingan arrived at his room.

In the afternoon, there was a knock on his door; it was Zhenzhen inviting him, the new guest, to her home for dinner.

He also introduced Ma Xiaoling, Jin Zhengzhong, and the other remaining guests to him.

"Hello, I am Geng Ping'an."

At Zhenzhen's house, Geng Pingan saw Ma Xiaoling, who looked exactly like Ma Danna, as well as Kuang Guohua, who had been a zombie for decades.

Now we should call him Kuang Tianyou.

"Hello, I heard you're also a Taoist priest. Are you here to steal my business?"

Compared to the friendliness of the other people.

Ma Xiaoling's gaze toward Geng Ping'an turned somewhat unfriendly.

Because of her love of money, she clearly saw Geng Ping'an as an unethical rival.

There are two exorcism companies in one building.

She would naturally earn less money, even if she didn't think Geng Ping'an was that strong.

How much impact could it have on her demon-exorcising dragon clan, the Ma family?

"Miss Ma, please don't misunderstand."

Knowing Ma Xiaoling's personality, Geng Ping'an naturally understood Ma Xiaoling's meaning and why she was so hostile towards him upon their first meeting.

He smiled and ignored Ma Xiaoling's unfriendly tone.

He explained, "I just calculated that I have a connection with Jiajia Building and want to stay here for a while. I don't do business and I won't start a company."

"Because I am very rich, I am financially independent."

Saying things that made Ma Xiaoling feel extremely irritated, Geng Ping'an waved his hand dismissively.

He ignored her displeased expression, which suggested she wanted to continue arguing.

He struck up a conversation with Kuang Tianyou.

"I've long admired Officer Kuang."

"you know me?"

Kuang Tianyou is a meticulous person.

Hearing Geng Ping'an say this, he recalled his memories of nearly a hundred years of his life, only to find that he had no recollection of Geng Ping'an at all.

Geng Pingan laughed at this.

"Of course, we will know each other, both in the past and in the future."

Speaking of which, Geng Ping'an and Kuang Tianyou met in Hongxi Village sixty years ago.

However, whether it was Kuang Tianyou at that time or Kuang Tianyou in the future, it was only today, sixty years later, that they met for the first time.

Geng Pingan didn't say much.

He was just changing the subject.

"Let's talk about the evil Asura, that's the important thing."

"I don't know how many days are left until the seventh day after his death."

Geng Ping'an has plenty of ways to deal with a mere evil Asura and make him vanish into nothingness.

However, the protagonists at this stage were clearly not skilled enough.

Geng Ping'an's transfer technique was very effective. At this moment, everyone in the room no longer cared about whether Geng Ping'an knew Kuang Tianyou.

Then Ma Xiaoling said with a furrowed brow.

"The Evil Asura is the most evil and ferocious ghost in the underworld. Because A-Ping opened the gates of hell before he died and absorbed countless wronged souls, he became even more powerful."

"The day after tomorrow is the seventh day after his death, and I am not confident that I can defeat him."

Knowing there is danger, yet still facing the challenge head-on—that's the protagonist's mindset.

Ma Xiaoling could have escaped Jiajia Building, leaving Jin Zhengzhong and his group to suffer the consequences of their own actions, only to be brutally killed by the evil demon on the seventh day after their deaths.

She insisted on staying to fight the evil Asura alongside a group of unarmed, even potentially disastrous, ordinary people.

Geng Ping'an had no intention of persuading Ma Xiaoling.

Because he knew that neither Ma Xiaoling nor Kuang Tianyou would listen to his advice or respect the fate of others.

So he was just pointing out any gaps in everyone's understanding.

"On the seventh day after his death, you wanted to use everyone's yang energy to set up a lotus array to shield the evil asura's senses, right?"

"There are just two issues you haven't noticed."

"This is a matter of life and death, how can you be so careless?"

Seeing Ma Xiaoling angry at his words, as if she were saying, "How dare you question the professionalism of her Ma family descendant?", he saw a hostile expression on her face.

Geng Pingan said to himself.

“I know a little about divination, so I thought you should be coming back soon. You notified everyone else in the building to leave, but why didn’t you remember to tell the family not to come back?”

"When Jin Zhengzhong's father returns on the seventh night after his death, things will get really serious. You'll be like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, each of you going downstairs to see him off." "At that time, if the candles in the lotus flowers in your hands go out, not only will he not be saved, but all of you will have your souls sucked away by the evil Asura."

"Don't call it a coincidence. He's just that stubborn. He insisted on coming back on the seventh day after his death, saying he wanted to give you a surprise and wouldn't tell anyone."

"This isn't a surprise, it's a complete shock."

Thinking of the infuriating scene in the original novel, Geng Ping'an wanted to beat up Jin Zhengzhong and the others.

Kim Jong-jung's character as a conman was never likable to begin with.

As it turns out, his whole family is brainless, just like the brainless supporting characters in a horror movie, each of them mindlessly courting death.

Although this is also the screenwriter's fault.

He wanted the plot to unfold with twists and turns, but he genuinely couldn't bear to see several people being sent to their deaths one by one, resulting in a so-called brainless massacre.

Before Ma Xiaoling could explode in anger.

Geng Pingan added.

"Secondly, the Lotus Formation requires seven people to use their collective yang energy to shield the evil Asura from pursuing us. You need to make this clear beforehand, don't wait until the night when life and death are at stake before telling everyone the solution."

"You need to understand that Kuang Tianyou is not willing to help you set up the formation. He has a heroic persona, so how could he possibly use candles with you to escape the pursuit of the evil Asura?"

"When you start arguing and suspecting each other, and even suspect that Kuang Tianyou is an evil Asura in disguise, the situation will only get worse."

Thinking of all the ridiculous misunderstandings in the original work.

Geng Pingan just wanted to complain.

Zombies lack yang energy, so they are naturally not suitable for participating in such elaborate formations.

However, Kuang Tianyou couldn't explain himself, otherwise it would only expose his identity as a zombie.

That's just awesome.

He is a descendant of the Ma family, a demon-exorcising dragon clan that has been dedicated to hunting down the Jiang Chen clan for over a thousand years.

Is Ma Xiaoling truly ignorant or simply blind?

Kuang Tianyou, a huge second-generation zombie, kept hovering in front of her, even using various zombie superpowers to fight against the enemy.

Ma Xiaoling just can't see through Kuang Tianyou's zombie identity, right?

Not only did they not question why Kuang Tianyou refused to blow a breath of yang energy onto the candle, but they also observed his strange behavior, such as not eating together with others.

She even insists on having a destructive romance with a zombie.

Thinking of the many melodramatic misunderstandings in the original novel, Geng Ping'an wanted to point his finger at Ma Xiaoling and yell at her.

Is your head full of water, or is it a family tradition that forbids dating, but you insist on having one, and even with a zombie?

That's what you call rebellion.

Leaving aside the various complaints in Geng Ping'an's mind.

Geng Ping'an's words made Kuang Tianyou's heart tighten suddenly.

Did Geng Ping'an know that he was a zombie?
Otherwise, why would he say he refuses to exhale yang energy? Isn't that a blatant way of saying he's not human, but a zombie?

Could it be that this person really knows him, but he himself has forgotten?

However, Kuang Tianyou soon realized that he had been nervous for nothing.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Geng Ping'an stopped speaking in a high-profile manner.

Instead, he quietly ate with Zhenzhen's mother, praising her cooking skills while indicating that he would be living there from now on.

They will also come to help on the seventh day after tomorrow.

Without mentioning Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou, they became suspicious and paranoid because of Geng Ping'an's arrival and his words that were the same as the riddles.

Time quickly passed to the evening of the seventh day after his death.

The group gathered together again.

"Ma Xiaoling, is your formation reliable? It might not be able to stop the evil Asura, and something bad might happen."

As ordinary people, it's impossible for Kim Jong-jung and others not to be afraid of ghosts.

It's just because he caused the trouble, and he doesn't have the money to find a place to live elsewhere.

They could only hope that Ma Xiaoling could catch the evil demon.

We must not allow evil demons to commit evil deeds.

"Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, the evil Asuras won't be able to see you."

Because Kim Jong-jung, that swindler, ignored all advice and insisted on performing rituals during the Ghost Festival, he created a vicious and wicked demon.

At this moment, Ma Xiaoling did not have a good impression of him.

She coldly indicated that only by following her instructions could everyone overcome the difficulties.

Ma Xiaoling took out candles that were protected by the refining molds.

He gestured for everyone to blow a breath on it, so that each person could transfer their yang energy and be protected.

Seeing this, the others grasped at straws.

He immediately took the candle and blew on it without hesitation.

In the arena, only Ma Xiaoling, who didn't need protection, Geng Ping'an, and the zombie Kuang Tianyou didn't take the candles.

Seeing that Kuang Tianyou was indeed trying to act like a personal hero, just as Geng Ping'an had said.

Having prepared herself mentally, Ma Xiaoling simply glared at him angrily, but did not criticize him further, nor did she doubt Kuang Tianyou's identity as a non-human.

What Geng Ping'an saw was hard to say whether she was possessed by love-struck madness or was influenced by some sinister force of fate.

Ma Xiaoling was completely unable to discover Kuang Tianyou's identity, and in the end, she fell in love with the zombie she spent every day with in a playful way, and they had a love-hate relationship.

"Now, everyone hold your candles, and please make sure they don't go out."

"As long as we can keep the evil Asura from finding us and get through tonight, we'll all be safe."

"Remember, evil demons can take on countless forms. Whoever comes after you separate from them, do not trust them easily. Extinguish the candle in your hand."

"Once the candle goes out, it can no longer protect itself, and it will surely die in front of the evil Asura."

Fearing that everyone might not understand the gravity of the situation, Ma Xiaoling repeatedly reminded them that no matter what, the candles in their hands must not be extinguished.

Little did they know that plans can't keep up with changes.

All sorts of unexpected events, and the transformation of the honest man A-Ping into an evil demon, resulting in a twisted personality and extreme cunning and treachery.

Let the characters from the original story all give away their lives.

Fortunately, Jin Zhengzhong finally listened to one sentence from Geng Ping'an.

He reminded his father not to act impulsively today.

He hasn't been back for several years.

Just when the evil Asura was about to die on his seventh day after death, he returned with gifts, saying it was a surprise for them.

Amidst everyone's tense waiting.

It got completely dark.

The lights on the building flickered as the evil demon arrived.

Ultimately, under the influence of the ghostly magnetic field, it completely exploded and dimmed.

The only light in the entire building came from candles and flashlights.

"The evil demon is coming! Hold on, everyone! If we get through tonight, we'll win!"

They had no intention of subduing the evil demon; they only wanted to let him pass the first seven days of his life before he was taken away by the underworld.

Ma Xiaoling gathered the group of people upstairs into one group.

Make sure everyone stays within your sight, so that even the strongest evil demon will have no chance to take advantage.

You can do things right under her nose.

However, the incompetent teammates in the original work are really infuriating.

It takes at least ten hours to wait until dawn.

It was only the first hour after it got dark.

Kim Jong-jung began rubbing his legs together, and finally couldn't help but say something.

"Oh no, I can't hold it anymore, I need to go to the toilet."

Kim Jong-jung said he needed to use the restroom.

This immediately made Geng Ping'an and Ma Xiaoling frown, feeling displeased.

Who are these people?

Without the unexpected surprises of the original story, Kim Jung-jung found himself in a series of mishaps.
