The headless corpse received the order, and the fat and thin ghosts responded by beginning to set up the nets.
The patients in the hospital were like fish in their own pond; as long as they wanted to catch them, not one would escape!
As they spoke, the nets were almost all in place.
Each black wedge was like a magnet, clinging to the fishing net. With a gentle pull, it could be removed instantly.
Only less than a third of the people had wedges with golden-yellow halos.
"Master, what about those wedges?"
The headless corpse pointed at the golden-yellow wedges below.
"Don't remove them for now!"
"As you command!" The headless corpse took the order, feeling a wave of relief.
He knew that even with his strength, he couldn't remove those wedges. To accept that task rashly would be asking for trouble.
It was different now that he had consulted with Na Qianlai; he didn't have to worry about being punished for it.
The rooms of some people stretched from east to west, more than ten or twenty rooms, and the entire building had about seven or eight floors. Sudanan Novel Network
The fat and thin ghosts followed the headless corpse, room by room, to set up the nets.
At the end of the corridor, the fat ghost spoke:
"Brother, why didn't you advise the Master to collect souls in Youzi Country, but instead chose to do it in Huaxia Country?"
"That's right, Brother, if you ask me, we should really go over there. Not only is it faster, but the tasks are also much simpler!"
The thin ghost rubbed his fingers together, echoing the fat ghost's words.
"What do you two know? Haven't you seen that the Master is playing a grand game?"
The headless corpse chided them.
"Yes, yes, yes, how can we understand the Master's thoughts? But we are doing this thankless task, aren't we getting nothing out of it!"
The fat ghost spoke again.
The three ghosts had always been united and talked about everything, so there was no need for excessive caution.
"Shut up! Do your job and stop thinking about that bit of money all day. As long as you complete the mission, are you afraid you won't have benefits later?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother is right! We'll do whatever you say!"
Upon hearing the headless corpse's words, the thin ghost echoed.
"Report, Master, everything is ready!"
All the wedges that needed to be hung were on the nets, and everything was ready. They were just waiting for Na Qianlai's command; with a gentle pull, this mission would be completed!
"Hmm, begin. Exclude those who have paid, and pull up the rest for me!"
"As you command!"
The headless corpse took the order and bowed slightly with his fists clasped.
Then, he chanted an incantation at the net.
The wedges on the fishing net had their bellies deflated, while others had round bellies.
The headless corpse gently tapped a deflated wedge a few times, and it flew off the net with a response.
As for the ones with round bellies, they just swayed a few times and did not leave the fishing net.
"Stop!"
Liu Sandao intervened.
Seeing Na Qianlai about to collect souls, he couldn't stand by and do nothing.
"Hahaha! It's you again!"
Upon hearing Liu Sandao's voice, Na Qianlai burst into laughter and flew directly in front of Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao did not retreat in the slightest.
In their last encounter, Na Qianlai had not had a significant advantage.
However, this time, Na Qianlai wasted no words. With a sweep of his right hand, he cast a barrier.
Liu Sandao could no longer see the situation in the hospital.
He had no choice but to use Ruo Shui Fu to investigate.
However, the scene before him was hazy, like a thick fog.
Using the Ruo Shui Fu technique, a drop of water passed through the mist like a small bird flying through the clouds.
Dodging left and right, searching for an exit, while also evading lightning strikes from within the clouds.
In just a few days, Na Qianlai's skills had improved considerably.
He might have reached the max level of the Asura Dao Tribulation.
However, this was not the time for a head-on confrontation. Na Qianlai had only cast a spell to obstruct his vision and had not taken any further action.
Despite this, Liu Sandao dared not be careless.
Being blocked for a second meant that a life would be taken.
The water droplet searched for gaps in the mist, constantly moving. Wherever it passed, it became a wormhole, dense, like ants crawling.
It did not pause at all, yet it could not find an exit.
Liu Sandao sighed and changed his approach to searching.
Na Qianlai, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but secretly laugh.
His Asura Dao Tribulation was complete, and blocking Liu Sandao was effortless.
Compared to taking Liu Sandao's life, this feeling of "you hate me, yet you can't defeat me" was incredibly satisfying.
Thinking back to the past, he realized that his desperate actions at crucial moments were a bit impulsive.
The headless corpse and the fat and thin ghosts were busy collecting wedges. Since Na Qianlai was there, Liu Sandao couldn't cause trouble, so they were having a leisurely time.
This situation was somewhat similar to their work in Youzi Country.
In their minds, they truly wished they could work in peace.
The wedges were easy to identify, and the work efficiency greatly increased.
In just a short while, they had collected all the qualifying wedges.
"Report, Master, collection is complete!"
"Good, good, good!"
Na Qianlai waved his hand, and the mist disappeared.
Liu Sandao's water droplet floated in the air and instantly vaporized.
"Hahaha, the matter is concluded. We won't play with you this time. See you next time! Hahaha!"
With that, he flew away.
Liu Sandao was left awkwardly looking at the hospital rooms.
He saw that the black wedges were still on many people, growing robustly and firmly.
Those with golden-yellow wedges seemed unaffected, but the souls of those who hadn't managed to take the Linghe Tuiyi Bao were all taken without exception.
"Alas!"
Liu Sandao couldn't help but sigh.
With a spell, his divine consciousness returned to his body.
"How was it?"
Bai Suxiang asked nervously as Liu Sandao opened his eyes.
Liu Sandao didn't speak and shook his head.
Although Bai Suxiang didn't know exactly what had happened, she understood from Liu Sandao's expression that things must have been very bad.
Just then, there was a "ding, ding, ding" at the door.
"Dinner's ready!"
Fu Ruhai's voice followed.
Bai Suxiang and Liu Sandao got up and opened the door.
At this moment, a notice was being broadcast on the television:
All residents of Building Three are to remain at home and await further notice. Do not go out unless instructed to do so, and an exit permit is required when going out...
The notice listed who could go out with a permit.
Bai Suxiang, as a doctor, was on the list of those allowed to travel.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai were not, but they didn't need to.
"What's going on? Is San Dong City going to be locked down again?"
Guo Xiufang had guessed the answer.
Although they had experience dealing with plagues, who would have expected the plague to return?
"Let's eat first. After dinner, we'll go to the hospital to check!"
Bai Suxiang said as she sat at the dining table.
"You are not allowed to go!"
Guo Xiufang commanded loudly.
"Alright, alright, Mom! Let's eat first, and we'll talk after dinner!" Bai Suxiang comforted her.
