Mister Big

Chapter 17: Disturbed mind

Views:

The next moment, the door of the closet suddenly opened, and the female ghost in red floated out of the closet, her feet an inch off the ground, and she walked lightly in the air, walking forward. In my eyes, a ghost walking is nothing, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is enough to shock the world.

"Ah--" Wang Shiyu, who had just been lying on the ground and forced to hold her breath, suddenly saw a foot off the ground floating past her eyes and couldn't help but shout out.

Wang Shiyu had exposed her position. The moment the ghost girl turned around, I had already pulled out the dagger from my leg, grasped the hilt with my backhand, stepped in front of the ghost girl, and stabbed her throat with the knife. The rune-carved blade collided with the Yin Qi, and suddenly a blazing red light was raised in the air, sweeping across the ghost girl's neck.

By the time I put away the knife, the ghost girl's head had already exploded into the air. Her headless body flew half a meter in the direction of the knife's wind before exploding into phosphorescent fire in the air along with the head.

What would happen if I killed the female ghost? Once the female ghost died, we would have to go to war with the ghosts without being completely sure of our chances.

I turned around and looked at Lao Du, and said urgently, "Help me get on the ceiling. Throw the money for killing ghosts into the cabinets, and don't leave any less money in each cabinet."

I threw down a bunch of money and rushed towards Lao Du. Lao Du bent one leg and put his hands on his legs. I jumped up with all my strength and stepped on Lao Du's palm. Lao Du also lifted me up into the air with all his strength.

I took advantage of the force to leap up, grabbing the edge of the skylight with both hands at the same time, hanging in mid-air. I stretched out one hand to grab the handle of the skylight, and struggled to pull the open skylight back to its original position.

Just as I was hanging myself in the air with one hand holding the handle and trying to take out the talisman with the other hand, a huge force suddenly came from the skylight pulling me outwards. I was in mid-air and had no way to exert any force. In just a blink of an eye, I was pulled up a few inches.

The ghost is pulling the skylight!

When I looked up, I saw that the iron skylight on the ceiling had been opened to a three-inch gap, and a ghost lying on its side on the ceiling showed half of its face from under the iron plate. Its black hair flowed down from the gap in the door panel to the ceiling like water, and then suddenly lifted up in the cold wind, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, trembling slightly as it moved towards my throat.

The ends of the other person's hair had just brought a chill to my throat when I saw the ghost stretch out a hand from under the door. The two black nails on the index finger and thumb were combined into the shape of a pair of pliers and pinched my wrist that was stretched in the air.

She's going to cut my tendons!

I am in the air now, relying entirely on one hand for strength. The tendons of my hand are completely stretched taut. If I am pinched by the ghost's fingers, they will surely break instantly.

At the critical moment, I suddenly pulled out a water spray pipe that children played with from behind, put the back end of one hand against my chest, and pushed it out with all my strength. The cinnabar that I sucked into the pipe condensed into a dark red straight line under the push of the air and sprayed towards the ghost's face.

I haven't reached the level of martial arts masters who can release their true qi from their bodies. Even if I throw handfuls of cinnabar, how far can I throw it? So I can only come up with this method, which can at least make the cinnabar spray about two meters under the impetus of air.

The female ghost who opened the iron gate didn't seem to expect me to play such a trick. She was caught off guard and was sprayed with cinnabar in the face. As I watched the flames and black smoke overflowing on her face, the extremely shrill ghost cry also pierced my eardrums.

The sharp sound shocked me so much that my eyes went blank. I instinctively sank down suddenly, and the sound of the iron skylight slamming shut also came. The sound of firecrackers exploding was still going on through the skylight. I had already taken out the red rope from my body and wrapped it around the gaps around the skylight several times. After I hung the talismans I carried with me on the red rope one by one, I let go and fell to the ground.

By the time my feet landed on the ground, dazzling flames had already burst out from the closets around the training room. At first glance, it looked like someone had thrown a lit firecracker into the closet. Although the piercing explosion failed to open the closet door, dazzling sparks and shadows continued to overflow from the cracks in the door.

The two girls had already huddled together in fear, and among the remaining three, only Lao Du remained relatively calm, but his hand holding the gun handle was trembling slightly.

Chen Liu said in a trembling voice: "Brother, can your ghost-beating money stop ghosts?"

"Not necessarily!" I said sternly, "Wang Shiyu, Jiang Yi, the two of you hurry up and get in the closet."

"What?" The two were so scared that they almost collapsed to the ground. They had seen ghosts floating out of the closet door with their own eyes. Now they were asked to crawl into the closet. Do they have the courage to do so

"No time to explain, hurry up!" I pulled Wang Shiyu up without saying anything and forced her into the closet. I then reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi and stuffed her into another door of the same closet: "You two stay in there. I won't open the door, and neither of you can come out. Got it? And don't talk!"

I forcibly stopped the two people from screaming, and used the red rope with the money for beating ghosts to wrap around the cabinet nine times before I stopped it: "Come here, don't move."

As Lao Du and the others gathered around me, the explosions in the wardrobes around me gradually stopped. After a moment, the entire training room fell into silence again, but strands of green phosphorescent light gradually leaked out from the crack in the door.

Chen Liu asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, did you kill the ghost?"

"Don't talk!" I gently made a gesture to keep quiet, and my eyes kept scanning the wardrobes around me, afraid of missing any movement.

There is a characteristic of ghosts pushing the door, that is, they will inevitably enter the room through the main door. Only when the main door is blocked will they choose other routes. Just like in Wang Shiyu's house, after I sealed the main door, the ghost appeared from the closet.

I asked Xiao Li to block the door and put so many wardrobes in the room to make it impossible for the ghost to choose. If I followed my original plan, I would quietly set up a Feng Shui maze with Lao Zhang under the effect of the incense, so that the ghosts entering the room could only sense our presence but could not find our exact location, and finally had to leave the room through another wardrobe.

As long as we can hold on for one night, we will naturally achieve the goal of making the ghosts and gods helpless and forced to give up the sacrifice.

Unfortunately, after two consecutive accidents, I completely lost my advantage and could only wait for the ghost to appear.

A moment later, Xiao Li's voice suddenly came from the direction of the gate: "Captain, Captain... are you in there?"

"Xiao Li?" When Lao Du subconsciously wanted to walk over, I forcibly pulled him back: "Don't go over! Do you know whether there are dead or alive people outside?"

Lao Du looked at me with horror in his eyes: "You mean..."

"Captain! Captain..." Xiao Li shouted, "The bureau asked you to go back quickly. The director is very dissatisfied with your behavior. Are you in there?"

Lao Du looked at my face again. I whispered, "You talk to him. Be careful!"

Lao Du took two steps forward slowly, holding his gun in one hand: "What did the director say? How does he know what I'm doing?"

Lao Du's words were just a test, without any real meaning, but Xiao Li's words made Lao Du dumbfounded: "Captain Du, the director said that there is a clue in the case eight years ago."

"What did you say?" Lao Du was stunned for a long time, and suddenly strode towards the door. I could clearly see that Lao Du's legs were shaking constantly, and he almost couldn't support his body several times, and almost fell to the ground.

Lao Du walked a few steps closer to the closet at the door: "Tell me again, what happened to the case?"

"The director found a clue and asked me to notify you immediately..." Xiao Li said quickly, "Two experts from the provincial department have also come. They said there are important clues in the case and asked you to return quickly..."

I shouted urgently, "Don't go forward!"

But Lao Du didn't care what I was shouting. He quickly walked to the closet and reached out to grab the door.

Whether you are a Taoist or an ordinary person, it is a taboo to rashly open the door in the middle of the night. If there is a person outside the door, it is fine, but if there is a ghost standing outside the door, it is called opening the door to welcome the ghost. If you invite the ghost in, it will be difficult to send it out. Moreover, behind the cabinet door is an evil ghost that can kill people.

The moment Lao Du opened the cabinet door, a pale hand stretched out from the door, suddenly grabbed Lao Du's neck and pulled him towards the door.

Although I had already rushed behind Lao Du, I was still half a step behind the ghost hand. As I watched Lao Du's soul being pulled out of his body by the ghost hand, two golden rays suddenly exploded on both sides of Lao Du's collar. The arrow-like rays of light crossed left and right and cut towards the ghost hand, and the ghost's right hand was cut off at the wrist. The moment the severed hand fell to the ground and exploded into phosphorous fire, golden flames also ignited on the ghost's wrist.

The fire, which was only the size of a bean, suddenly became a foot high flame amid the ghost's cries, and it spread towards the ghost like a prairie fire. The one-meter-high wardrobe door was completely blocked by the flames in an instant. I could only see a figure struggling desperately in the wardrobe, but I could no longer hear the creepy ghost's cries inside.

I grabbed Lao Du and took three steps back before I finally stopped: "Why are you running around? The ghost is disturbing your mind. If you run around again, you'll lose your life!"

"Sorry..." Lao Du's face turned red, and his eyes also turned red. He choked up and said, "Thank you for saving me!"

This time, it wasn't me who saved Lao Du, but he was saving himself - the golden light that just killed the ghost was the righteousness of Lao Du. (To be continued)
