Chapter 25 Split Operations
Chang Xi took a few breaths and said, "Chen Changqing, right? You stole the Thunderstrike Talisman from your elders to play with. You're not good enough for it. You don't know how powerful that talisman is."
That talisman is for dealing with extremely high-level ghosts and monsters, and it needs to be used in an open space. Using it here will burn these people to a crisp!
Hao Ren and Gao Ren hugged each other, still shaken. "Mr. Chen, you want to die, but we don't. Do you have a license?"
Chen Changqing covered his bruised and swollen head, stood up, and couldn't say a word.
The female ghost's severed arm emitted a foul stench, and the pain belatedly surged up.
She set her sights on Lu Wenli.
Lu Wenli trembled, then turned and ran, shouting, "No way, it's me again!"
Chang Xi handed Xu Man a talisman and instructed, "Go find Buddhist scriptures!"
"Okay!" Xu Man gritted her teeth and nodded, then grabbed the amulet and headed towards the bookshelf.
Hao Ren and the others followed to help.
The sounds of fighting came from upstairs.
Xu Man's vision blurred as she looked at all the Buddhist scriptures. "There must be hundreds of them. How long will it take to find them one by one?"
Xu Man took two deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. "The female worshipper hid the evidence here, which is just playing a trick. It is very likely that the monks of Cibei Temple do not care about this Buddhist scripture, or that it is very common but they have never paid attention to it."
"Female worshippers might not hide it on the bookshelf, because the temple will tidy it up regularly, and it will be hard to find when it is tidyed up. This Buddhist scripture must be in the most conspicuous place, but no one will notice it!" Xu Man had a flash of inspiration and her eyes fell on the plaque of the scripture pavilion.
The four characters "明理修心" (understanding principles and cultivating the mind) are prominently displayed.
"A ladder!" Hao Ren and Gao Ren brought over a ladder, and Xu Man climbed up and reached behind the plaque to rummage around.
"I found it!" Xu Man was overjoyed. She took out the Avatamsaka Sutra and flipped through it page by page. Inside was a memory card.
【Manman is so smart!】
[Great job!]
Give it to me!
The abbot's face appeared upside down in front of her.
"what!"
Xu Man's hair stood on end, and she leaned back and fell down the stairs.
But I didn't feel the expected pain.
The two female ghosts caught her together, and only let go when they saw that she was unharmed.
[Are these female ghosts actually quite nice?]
Why does this abbot seem even more powerful than these female ghosts?
"Run!" the female ghost warned.
"Then, what will you do?" Xu Man asked, her voice trembling.
"We have many ghosts," the female ghost said, and two of them pounced on the abbot and entangled him.
"Hurry up!" Chen Changqing pulled Xu Man, and the five of them hurriedly ran outside the Sutra Repository.
The fat pilgrim who died on the first day stopped them.
"Give me the memory card," the chubby pilgrim said, holding out his hand.
The five people ran to the other side.
Closing the door seemed to prevent ghosts from getting in.
"This door won't last more than a few minutes," said the elderly woman, who was over fifty, holding a lantern in her hand.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Hao Ren questioned.
"If you want to get out, come with me," the old woman said, walking ahead on her own.
Xu Man swallowed hard. "Follow her."
They have no other choice at the moment.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the gate in front of them.
Before leaving, Xu Man turned back and said, "Aren't you coming with us? This place is full of ghosts."
"I can't leave, she's still here."
The old woman walked back silently.
Who is she?
The five people ran out of the library, and the sun began to set.
"Are you all alright?" Tian Yu asked.
"It's nothing," Hao Ren checked if anyone was missing, and sure enough, there were some missing.
"Where are Xu Shenglong and Chen Wenjing?"
Chen Wenjing was the staff member responsible for playing the female ghost.
"I don't know," the staff member said, turning around. They had no idea when the two had disappeared.
A sound came from above the library.
Chang Xi followed and saw that the iron umbrella in Lu Wenli's hand flew out of the window.
Lu Wenli had half his body hanging off the railing outside. "Damn, I'm afraid of heights!"
The female ghost opened her mouth to suck up his soul.
Chang Xi delivered a flying kick, pinning the female ghost to the wall, and with his other hand dragged Lu Wenli back.
"He Yin, you are indiscriminately killing innocent people," Chang Xi said coldly, holding a red rope in his hand.
The female ghost paused, as if she hadn't heard anyone call her name in a long time. Her eyes briefly regained their clarity. "What do you know? I'm too weak. He can heal my wounds."
[Eating people to heal wounds? Do ghosts do that?]
[Special Investigation Department: To be precise, they eat souls. Ghosts drive people to their deaths and then devour their souls to increase their own power.]
Chang Xi stood in front of Lu Wenli, saying, "Murder, you've accumulated a lot of sins, you'll go to the eighteenth level of hell."
"Hell?" He Yin touched her face. "Look at me, look at me, I'm already in hell!"
He Yin's voice changed after her death, becoming sharp and mournful.
"Your face?" Lu Wenli asked. "Was it done by people from Cibei Temple?"
"He clearly saw it, but he wouldn't save me. I begged him, and he smashed my face!" He Yin's eyes flashed with ferocity. "He deserves to die! Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll kill them!"
"Who are you talking about? What does he have to do with me?" Lu Wenli was utterly exasperated. Why was he the only one being targeted for killing?
Do you only pick the softest persimmons?
Taking advantage of the moment, the female ghost hid behind Lu Wenli and gently blew a breath at him.
Chang Xi grabbed her and pulled her over, saying, "What are you doing hiding behind him? Come out and fight!"
"Your little apprentice is about to die," the female ghost said, not angry at being smashed to the ground, but just smiling as she looked behind her.
Chang Xi frowned, turned her head to look, and saw Lu Wenli, as if possessed, staring wide-eyed as if about to jump down.
"Don't jump! Don't jump!"
The production team was in a panic.
I don't understand why this person suddenly wanted to jump off a building.
[Lu Wenli is drunk, let's go home!]
[It must have been a female ghost who did something to him.]
[Little Deer's Mom: Lu Wenli!]
"Lu Wenli!"
Chang Xi ignored the female ghost and rushed to the railing, but Lu Wenli had already jumped down.
The moment he jumped, Lu Wenli snapped back to reality. "Oh no! I'm afraid of heights, Master!"
I dare not watch anymore!
[Won't this turn into a meat patty?]
It seems not.
Lu Wenli fell halfway down and ended up hanging precariously in mid-air.
The red rope in Chang Xi's hand had lengthened considerably, wrapping around his waist. He held the red rope with one hand and gripped the edge of the railing firmly with the other.
He Yin walked to the railing. "Falling from a height hurts a lot."
"Then will you pull us up?" Chang Xi suggested.
"Dream on."
"Then what are you babbling about?"
"Hey, is this the time for chatting and arguing?" Lu Wenli, suspended in mid-air, was terrified. "I'm in a really bad situation right now!"
Chang Xi was preoccupied with talking to He Yin, "I was wondering if you were the one who posted that 'find the killer' task?"
The red string in her hand was slowly extending.
Lu Wenli also realized that he was slowly descending, and dared not say a word, for fear that the female ghost would find out.
"Yes," the female ghost looked up at the sky, "the sun is about to set, do you know who the murderer is?"
"Actually, I have a question," Chang Xi said calmly, "The female ghost asked who killed you all. Were you one of you? Why didn't the others become vengeful ghosts, but you did?"
