“The wind's picking up outside.”
The old Daoist walked to the French window in the living room and closed it. For some reason, the wind suddenly grew stronger, rustling the trees and wicker chairs in the yard.
The little loli shifted her gaze from the Eight骏图 (Eight骏 Horses painting), even taking the initiative to open the door and windows that the old Daoist had just closed, and stuck her head outside. Immediately, she returned with an incomparably grave expression.
Looking at Zhou Ze, who was still lying unconscious on the sofa, a murderous intent flashed in the little loli's eyes.
“What are you going to do!”
Bai Yingying immediately scolded.
The little loli pointed at Zhou Ze and directly cursed, "What the hell did this bastard release? He's trying to kill me!"
“What's wrong?” Xu Qinglang asked.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, the door was blown open by the wind, and even the glass of the French window shattered directly. The entire living room was filled with flying shards of glass.
The old Daoist and Xu Qinglang immediately crouched down, using their clothes to cover their heads for protection. Bai Yingying lay on top of Zhou Ze to protect her boss. The glass shards that flew onto Bai Yingying were directly bounced off. The female zombie's physical qualities were indeed strong.
The little loli stood in the midst of the flying glass shards. To be honest, she looked quite stylish. Coupled with her aloof loli expression, it really felt like a scene from a blockbuster movie.
The Spider-Man on the side had been sitting in a chair ever since he entered the door. He seemed to be used to this way of life. Usually, after cleaning the room in the bookstore, he would find a place to sit down and then remain motionless. Even a people-person like the old Daoist couldn't stir him, feeling that this guy wasn't as interesting as his own monkey.
At this moment, the little loli stared directly at Spider-Man.
Spider-Man continued to sit still, seemingly unaffected by the little loli's gaze.
The little loli took a deep breath and said directly, “Solve the problem here first.”
Spider-Man remained motionless.
When customers came to the bookstore, they thought he was a statue, similar to the models displayed in movie theaters when Spider-Man movies were released.
“I've always been curious about why you stayed in Tongcheng. That guy's ashes were just an accidental discovery, right? Not the real reason why you've been staying in Tongcheng for so long.”
Spider-Man remained unmoved.
“I've investigated. The General Mountain Hot Spring Resort Hotel is a Xu family property.”
No matter how big the world is, this is still China. Tongcheng is a second-tier city, but in reality, it's just a small place. After all, it's just across the river from 魔都 (Mo Du, Shanghai), so there aren't many foreigners in Tongcheng. Citizens walking on the street will still curiously take a few more glances when they see foreigners, unlike the citizens of big cities who are already used to blond hair, blue eyes, or dark skin.
The little loli knew that Zhou Ze had first met the priest at a funeral. At that time, the priest was standing beside several women of the Xu family, somewhat like a family pastor.
And General Mountain is a Xu family property,
And now, the Japanese pirate亡魂 (wanghun, departed spirits) suppressed by the heroic spirits are actually rioting. How could this be a coincidence?
Spider-Man continued to sit as steadily as Mount Tai.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, accompanied by a "whooshing" screech. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a sudden change in the weather, a sign that it was about to rain. But even Xu Qinglang could see that the wind was filled with a dense baleful aura. This was a sign that a great ominous thing was about to emerge from the mountain!
The little loli took a deep breath,
She was so angry!
Why was it always Zhou Ze who caused trouble, and she had to desperately help him clean up the mess?
Moreover, the little loli had to clean up this mess, because she was also a ghost messenger in Tongcheng. In other words, she was responsible for handling all supernatural events in Tongcheng. Once a supernatural event affected too many innocents and caused trouble, she would also be directly responsible.
This was like sitting at home and having misfortune fall from the sky. The little loli suddenly felt aggrieved. It seemed that she hadn't had a comfortable day since she met this salted fish.
"Glug... Glug... Glug..."
The hot spring pool began to bubble. The faucet wasn't turned on. The water was flowing backward from the drain at the bottom. Then, the entire courtyard began to collapse. The pebble ground directly caved in, and even a large part of the living room collapsed along with it.
Bai Yingying quickly picked up her boss's body and carried him to the back to avoid her boss rolling down with it.
Inside the resort, a pit appeared. At the bottom of this pit, there was a dilapidated plaque, with many bullet holes on it.
It was said that after the Japanese devils invaded Tongcheng, they learned that there was a Japanese tomb and a General's Temple here, so they came here specifically to destroy them. The bullet holes on the plaque should have been left at that time.
This looked like someone had deliberately moved it over, and at the same time, this entire resort could even be called a "cover-up."
Under the plaque was a headless statue. The paint on the statue had long been damaged. It was an image of a man holding a knife and riding a horse, telling of a kind of desolation.
Beside the statue of the man, there were three boxes. The boxes had also rotted for the most part. From the inside, it could be seen that they contained armor-like things.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
A series of tremors came from the boxes below. Immediately afterward, a black shadow suddenly窜 (cuan, darted) out and directly disappeared into one of the boxes. Then, the rotten box exploded in an instant. A set of armor slowly propped itself up, becoming the size of a person. But the armor was floating, and no one was wearing it.
"Oh..."
A vicissitudes of voice came from the armor,
Like a person who had been asleep for too long being awakened,
"Hai..."
“Bang!”
A rusty samurai sword emerged from an unknown location below and instantly disappeared into the samurai's hand.
The samurai first looked at the other two sets of armor at his feet, seemingly wondering why his two companions hadn't woken up with him. Then, he looked at the statue behind him.
Five hundred years ago, it was the person in front of him who stopped them, but five hundred years later,
It was time to end it!
The little loli's eyes narrowed, her mouth opened, and her tongue quickly flew out, turning into a whip, fiercely lashing at the samurai.
The samurai seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The samurai sword directly slashed across, blocking the tongue. At the same time, his figure flashed, pulling the little loli's tongue backward.
The little loli was pulled up like a kite, but she still entangled him tightly and didn't give up. She knew that the statue couldn't be allowed to collapse, otherwise the remaining two would be released, and they would be even more unrestrained.
Some people might ask, why didn't she just destroy the statue before?
But in reality, if she destroyed the statue before, it would destroy the three of them together, just like digging out the roots before the fruit was ripe.
"Baga..."
The samurai slashed down with the sword in his hand. The little loli's body trembled, and she subconsciously retracted her tongue, but she also jumped into the pit. She had no choice. She had to stop them, and she had to face them head-on.
Bai Yingying also came back to her senses at this time and shouted to the old Daoist, "Protect the boss."
Then, she looked at Spider-Man, who was sitting on the side, "Come with me!" Then, Bai Yingying jumped into the pit. Spider-Man, who had been completely unresponsive to the little loli's cold words, immediately stood up and jumped down with her.
The old Daoist looked at Xu Qinglang and said, "I'll protect the boss. You go too."
“……” Xu Qinglang.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qinglang took out his护心镜 (huxinjing, heart-protecting mirror). Before he could jump down, the little loli flew out and crashed heavily into Xu Qinglang, directly knocking Xu Qinglang down and rolling backward.
The little loli quickly got up, a trace of blood溢出 (yichu, spilled) from the corner of her mouth, but she immediately flipped her tongue and licked the blood back into her mouth. Then, she continued to rush in.
Next was Bai Yingying. Bai Yingying was directly hit by the samurai sword. Although it didn't cause any substantial damage, the ghost aura on the blade directly dispersed the baleful aura on her body, causing Bai Yingying to stagger backward continuously.
Spider-Man had been fighting back and forth with the samurai.
The samurai kept making sounds of surprise;
Obviously, he knew the priest, but he didn't understand why this descendant of his own clan would betray him.
…………
Zhou Ze didn't know how critical the situation was in reality. He didn't have time to return to the room and look at the situation outside through the glass mirror.
Right now, he was in the crowd, watching more and more亡魂 (wanghun, departed spirits) walking into the circle where the flags were located, like batteries, being circled in.
Between the flags and the armor, there were three guys wearing Japanese military uniforms, holding samurai swords, and running around in circles while singing Japanese military songs.
They were already dead, but they didn't realize that they were already dead. They still thought they were alive, dreaming of becoming Japanese.
Their actions were actually attracting the nearby亡魂 (wanghun, departed spirits) to constantly approach.
In fact, behind the flags, a huge phantom could be vaguely seen. In the phantom, a man was riding a horse, very majestic, but his shadow was constantly twisting and blurring.
“What is this, a suppressed demon?” The Japanese girl found Zhou Ze and stood beside Zhou Ze and asked.
She didn't feel that the samurai were members of her own clan. After all, she had been dismembered and used as a sacrifice because of these three sets of armor.
In her eyes, these things were not members of her own clan, but complete demons.
“Yes.” Zhou Ze nodded.
“Why are these demons able to break free?” The Japanese girl asked.
Zhou Ze pointed to the three guys who were still jumping around in Japanese military uniforms,
Said:
“Because the ones who unsealed them were Chinese.”
