Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

John, who was about to help Chen Ming up and carry him away: !

The cold wind on his neck and the whispering voice in his ear both made his heart skip a beat.

Furthermore, as the former number one assassin, how could anyone possibly sneak up behind him without him noticing?

Without hesitation, John flipped himself up and immediately saw Chen Zhou, whose face was glowing with a chilling green light and whose body was floating in the air.

However, the fear Chen Zhou had imagined for John did not materialize; instead, John smiled excitedly.

"A living, living ghost!"

John was indeed very excited. He had retired ten years ago because of some things that happened in the assassin world.

After retiring, he came to Yanxia.

However, he was seriously injured at the time and almost starved to death because of the language barrier.

Fortunately, he met a child in Los Angeles who not only brought him food every day but also taught him the local language, helping him through the most difficult period of his life.

After that, John found a temple in Los Angeles and lived in seclusion.

John's mentor was an extraordinary person.

Its ability comes from its eyes; it can see ghosts and also harm them.

John couldn't see ghosts, but when he followed his master to exorcise them, he could always feel the bone-chilling coldness of their presence.

John originally thought he would never see ghosts in his life.

Unexpectedly, because of trying to recruit a junior assassin from the Shanghai Inspectorate, I ended up encountering a ghost!

John pulled a bag of what looked like Chinese medicine from his pocket and threw it at Chen Zhouyi, then shot it, causing the liquid inside to explode!

"You devil, taste my black dog blood!" John shouted excitedly.

His master had told him that most ghosts are afraid of things with strong yang energy, so black dog blood, rooster blood, black donkey hooves, and wolf teeth can all be used to deal with ghosts.

John stared at Chen Zhou with great excitement, anticipating Chen Zhou's reaction.

The two stared at each other, waiting for the other's reaction, which resulted in no movement for a long time.

John rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Why aren't you reacting?"

Chen Zhou turned his head 360 degrees and asked in a sinister tone, "How should I react?"

John suddenly realized, "You're a vengeful ghost!"

Yes, the black dog blood is useless; this is a vengeful ghost.

Chen Zhou stuck out a meter-long tongue and mumbled, "Are you scared?"

John snorted and took out a cassock from his backpack and put it on. At the same time, he also had a peach wood sword in his hand.

He mimicked his master's voice from his memories: "Evil spirit, cease your insolence!"

Chen Zhou was dumbfounded: "Don't you think it's incongruous for someone wearing a cassock to be carrying a peach wood sword?"

John scoffed, "That's exactly what Buddha likes."

With that, John thrust the peach wood sword in his hand at Chen Zhou with all his might.

However, the scene of piercing through the ghost did not appear as imagined; the tip of the peach wood sword came to a steady stop on Chen Zhou's body.

This situation left John somewhat stunned.

After hesitating for a few seconds, John pulled out his pistol and fired three shots.

From John's perspective, all three bullets passed through Chen Zhou's body, but left not a single wound, as if they were not on the same layer.

"That doesn't make sense. It's definitely a ghost, so how could the peach wood sword not pass through it?"

John was confused. The bullet went straight through, it was definitely a ghost, but why didn't the peach wood sword work?

……

At this moment, Taoye Temple is far away in Luocheng.

The master of truth is looking for his disciple John, who has not shown up for three days.

It wasn't until Zhenyan entered his "equipment room" that he discovered some of the equipment he usually used to exorcise ghosts down the mountain was missing.

Zhenyan immediately frowned, then lowered his head again: "Although the peach wood sword is fake, John can't see ghosts, so it should be fine, right?"

……

Suburbs.

Chen Zhou revealed a sinister smile: "You should have said so earlier, I'll put it on for you now."

The next moment, John felt the resistance in front of him disappear, and the peach wood sword went straight into Chen Zhou's body.

Chen Zhou looked at the bewildered John: "How are you feeling? Are you happier now?"

John: ...

John had already realized that the ghost in front of him was just playing a trick on him.

He glanced at Chen Ming, who was still unconscious on the ground, and said, "As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"But unexpectedly, Buddha's act of saving him got him into trouble."

"But it doesn't matter. Being able to see a ghost before I die would fulfill one of my lifelong wishes."

"You, Buddha, want to die standing up!"

Chen Zhou watched as John stealthily pulled the cross from his neck and pointed it at him. He then lightly touched the cross, and it instantly burst into flames.

John immediately released his grip on the burning cross, saying, "Jesus can't subdue you?"

Chen Zhou walked forward, saying, "What foreign countries can't control me."

John's eyes lit up, and as he backed away, he took out a jade Buddha from around his neck: "Please, Buddha, protect me."

Chen Zhou continued walking.

"Even a Bodhisattva can't subdue you!"

Chen Zhou: "There are no Bodhisattvas in this world."

Over the years, while transforming the mountains and rivers, Chen Zhou also took the opportunity to visit temples in various places.

Among them, faith is piled up in great quantities, and all of it has nowhere to go.

This shows that there are indeed no gods or ghosts in this world. Chen Zhou was disappointed for a while when he confirmed this.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhou reached out and slammed his hand down on John's head.

During this process, John also brought out gadgets from other countries or regions that could ward off ghosts.

Unfortunately, none of them were useful.

He tried to run, but he wasn't as fast as Chen Zhou, and could only watch helplessly as Chen Zhou's hand covered his head.

Conquest Tips: [In the original script, after your death, Chen Ming realizes his lack of martial prowess, and John becomes Chen Ming's mentor.]

Chen Zhou looked at John: "Gang Jin, he's not bad at teaching martial arts."

The strategist's message: "So you're not going to kill him?"

Chen Zhou: "Well, not really. He even tried to kill me, so how could I let him go? It's just that I didn't bring the materials with me, so I can't turn him into a puppet."

Conquer the Little Character: [Puppet?]

Chen Zhou: "After family and friends practice martial arts, they need a sparring partner."

Conquest Character: 【I see.】

John also possessed some luck, similar in quantity to Chen Ming's, but it was quickly absorbed by Chen Zhou, leaving only a tiny bit.

Subsequently, Chen Zhou inscribed a contract on John's soul.

John also felt something had appeared on his body.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Chen Zhou stop.

"You're not going to kill me?" John asked, somewhat puzzled.

In his mind, ghosts and monsters were like stray cats.

During the hunting process, they will play with their prey until they lose interest before cruelly killing them.

Chen Zhou shook his head, picked up Chen Ming from the ground, and said, "Come to the Chen family villa in Xinghe Yipin at 2 PM tomorrow. You will be responsible for the consequences if you are late."

After saying that, Chen Zhou carried Chen Ming away from the spot, leaving John standing alone, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Chen Family Villa.

The little figure holding the beverage-shaped bottle of luck watched Chen Zhou clean up the black dog blood on Chen Ming's body and smiled brightly: "You should have stopped him earlier, now you're wasting your time cleaning him up."
