Chapter 236 You Can Only Trust Me
It's usually used to store ghosts...

This answer left Zhong Jiu speechless, unsure how to proceed. He scratched his head, stared intently at the young man before him, and whispered, "I'm an atheist."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Religion is a matter of freedom, and I cannot interfere with you. What I am doing now is simply answering your question."

Zhong Jiu was slightly chubby, and at this moment he felt like he was being "argued" with by this young man named Li Xuan. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe.

He closed the notebook and said, "You want to prove your profession, right? Come with me."

There's an empty space at the corner of the police station's staircase. There are no security cameras there, and it's rarely used. It's usually just used to store miscellaneous items.

When the two arrived, Zhong Jiu spread his hands and said, "Come on, prove it. I'll be watching closely."

Li Xuan waved his hand lightly in the air, and a breeze suddenly rose from the cluttered corner without windows, causing Zhong Jiu's collar to sway back and forth...

Zhong Jiu's heart skipped a beat. No, you're serious?

He felt his atheistic worldview, ingrained from the first half of his life, crumbling. He swallowed hard and said, "This... is just a coincidence, isn't it? Isn't the wind everywhere?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan pointed to the corner of the stairs and said, "The light came in from that side, right?"

Before Zhong Jiu could answer, Li Xuan stretched out his thumb and forefinger, making a pinching motion towards the light source, and instantly plunged the corner into darkness!
The unknown can easily instill fear in people.

Zhong Jiu felt exactly like this at that moment. The darkness before him was purer than any other night, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, as if he were immersed in ink.

His voice trembled as he hurriedly said, "No, please don't do this, please return to normal!"

The next moment, vision returned to normal.

Zhong Jiu had collapsed to the ground, struggling to stand up while leaning against the wall. His gaze toward Li Xuan was filled with awe, and he even began to use honorifics when speaking.

The two returned to the table. Zhong Jiu brewed a cup of tea and handed it to them, forcing a smile as he said, "I've really learned something new today. I never imagined that supernatural powers actually exist in this world."

He hesitated slightly before tentatively asking, "Excuse me, with such amazing abilities, why were you brought here by our colleagues?"

Li Xuan took the teacup, blew away the steam, and said, "Because I want to see you, and since this isn't something shameful, I need an official to help me with some miscellaneous matters."

The method used to block out the light was the "Sun-Concealing Technique" from the Seventy-Two Arts. This is a divine technique, and its basic function is to conceal the light and create darkness.

Given Li Xuan's current situation, he can only block sunlight on a small scale; anything larger would be impossible, as it would appear as a black mosaic to people in the distance.

Zhong Jiu was immediately flattered and said, "I am just an ordinary policeman. I am truly unworthy of your attention."

When Li Xuan entered this world, he appeared directly at the entrance of the valley city in South Korea. A woman walked past him and began to introduce this world.

The Wailing (film):
It tells the story of a series of strange events that occurred in the remote town of Gucheng.

After a Japanese man moved into Gucheng, heinous murders began to occur frequently in the mountain villages. These murderers had one thing in common: they would stay at the scene of the crime, covered in blisters, and mentally unstable, like walking corpses.

Police officer Zhong Jiu's daughter is exhibiting abnormal behavior, behaving inhumanly.

Seeing this, Grandma invited a shaman named "Sunlight" to exorcise the demon from Jong-gu's daughter, Jeon Hyo-jin. The daughter suffered greatly, and Sunlight told Jong-gu that there was a bad person in the village—the islander who had moved in from outside—who was actually a demon, a ghost. Exhausted by a series of bizarre events, Jong-gu encountered a woman in white who also told him that the islander was a ghost and that he needed to get rid of him quickly.

Unexpectedly, the wizard Sunlight was also a bad guy. He was in cahoots with the islanders, one in the open and the other in the shadows, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

They collaborated to perform rituals to kill the villagers; the Nikko clan did so for financial gain, while the islanders aimed to destroy local beliefs and collect elements that would grant longevity through the rituals…

The woman in white is a "guardian spirit" protecting the village, not a living person. She first drove away the sunlight, and then set a trap to imprison the islanders in order to save Zhong Jiu's family.

As a result, Il-kwang called and manipulated Jong-gu into returning home and disrupting the ceremony, causing his daughter to go berserk and kill her mother, wife, and Jong-gu himself with a knife...

The sun triumphed and departed, while the islanders revealed their true, demonic nature, mocking the local faith...

In this drama, the bad guys achieve final victory.

Zhong Jiu could have won because the white-clad woman, the "Guardian Spirit of the Mountain," provided clues and disrupted the ritual at all times. Unfortunately, he was weak-willed and easily swayed, constantly changing his mind and trusting this person and that person. In the end, he lost his composure and was led by the nose, causing the deaths of himself and his family.

After reviewing the plot, Li Xuan identified three targets.

The shaman Nikko is a real, living person, but he is wicked and conspires with the islanders to harm people.

The island nation's name is not explicitly revealed in the film. Judging from their actions, they seem to live as real people in the early stages, only completely abandoning their pretense when their true identity is exposed later.

The woman in white has no name and can only be seen when she is dressed as a dead person. Her identity is not revealed at the end of the film.

Preliminary speculation suggests that it is either a powerful, deceased spirit guarding the village, or a manifestation of a deity from the mountains.

The combat power of these three is as follows: the Japanese man > the woman in white > the shaman Nikko. None of the other characters who appear are their match...

Li Xuan planned to find the woman in white first and ask her what was going on.

Throughout the film, this woman tries to enlighten the policeman Zhong Jiu in a riddle-like manner, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong person. Zhong Jiu remains completely confused and at a loss, even when she finally explains things to him directly.

Zhong Jiu, however, was filled with fear upon discovering that the woman was not a living person.

At this moment, in the police station, Li Xuan said, "I have special channels to know about your future situation. In the coming days, the people of Gucheng will go mad and kill one by one. The death toll will exceed twenty people, including your family members... This is not an exaggeration, just a straightforward description."

Zhong Jiu felt his heart pounding very hard.

His breathing quickened, his hands clenched unconsciously, and he asked, "My daughter... she's only seven years old, aren't you a little..."

Li Xuan disliked riddle-makers, and he didn't want to be one either. Once he had tested his strength and found that he could crush his opponent, he would settle things with his own hands!

This strategy is only used when both sides are roughly equal in strength, or when the weaker side is weaker than the other.

He said, “That’s right, including yourself. From now on, you need to trust me unconditionally until I solve the problem and leave Gucheng.”
