Chapter 21: Fellow Daoists
In any case, I don't want Wang Wei to die because of me, after all, the private matter between me and the male ghost, from beginning to end, he is just an innocent existence.
"Let go? Why? The male ghost turned his head sideways to stare at my face expressionlessly, and his cold tone was like a cold winter at minus degrees Celsius, which made me tremble slightly, and leaned behind Mr. Wang in fear.
"You know very well in your heart that Wang Wei is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't pose any threat to you at all, I advise you to let go, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
The male ghost chuckled inexorably, as if he did not take Mr. Wang's repeated warning words to heart, but glanced at Mr. Wang with contemptuous eyes, and the strength in his hand did not mean to reduce it at all.
"If you have the ability, kill me, otherwise, he will die." The demonic sound like a hellish Shura echoed in the dilapidated hut of only a few square meters, and in the face of the male ghost who repeatedly provoked us close at hand, I could only look at Mr. Wang for help, hoping that he could successfully save Wang Wei without a fierce conflict with the male ghost.
"Really? Then I'll see who can have the last laugh! With a gloomy face, Mr. Wang took out a piece of talisman paper from his jacket pocket, then bit his fingertips, and used his own blood to draw a pattern on the blank rune paper that I could not understand, and then recited a small incantation in his mouth, but in a moment he let out a loud cry and threw the charm to where the male ghost stood.
I stood on tiptoe slightly, looked over Mr. Wang's shoulder in the direction of the male ghost, and found that the moment Mr. Wang threw the charm at him, his face showed a look of surprise, just when I was puzzled, in the blink of an eye, the male ghost disappeared in front of my eyes, leaving only Wang Wei leaning against the wall, holding his chest and hanging his head and gasping for breath.
"Or let him escape?" I stared at the empty house in front of me, unable to hide my disappointment.
Unbeknownst to me, Mr. Wang turned to me and smiled meaningfully, as if everything was under his control.
"That male ghost still underestimated my abilities after all, and even if he managed to slip out of my nose now, it would be too late." As he spoke, he sucked the fingertip he had just bitten into his mouth for a while, and his cunning expression was vividly displayed.
"That's good." I was a little relieved, and walked up to Wang Wei, still planning to check if he was injured first.
"Are you alright?" With a slight hesitation, I reached out to him to lift him up from the ground. Perhaps he had not yet recovered from his fear, but he held his head in his hands, glanced at me with a timid gaze, and then lowered his eyes and moved a few steps in the direction of the corner of the wall.
If it weren't for me, I'm afraid he wouldn't have experienced such a thing that would be almost impossible for ordinary people to encounter now. At the end of the day, in this matter, more or less, I need to take some responsibility.
"What can happen to him as a big man here? Now it's imperative to find his hiding place, preferably to destroy him, so you don't have to fear that he will continue to trouble you. ”
I don't know why, when I heard Mr. Wang say this, although I had the idea of being relieved, there was an indescribable emotion that followed, and I didn't know for a moment what to respond to Mr. Wang.
"I'm still a little worried about letting him stay here alone, so it's better for me to call an ambulance to take him back to the hospital, just so that the doctor can check if he has any injuries anywhere."
As I spoke, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and prepared to make a call to the 120 emergency center.
"Let's talk as we go, if it's a little bit late, my plans may be ruined."
I raised my eyes at the sound and realized that his figure had already disappeared from the door with his voice getting farther and farther away.
After hastily describing the location of this side to the emergency center, I trotted out of the house, and saw Mr. Wang's figure approaching the corner of the alley, and hurriedly rushed to his back and shouted, "Wait for me." ”
On the way to find the male ghost, Mr. Wang told me that he had made a mark on the male ghost when he fought him just now, so no matter how far he fled to the ends of the earth, as long as the mark still existed, he could find his hiding place.
"As long as there is no accident, I will burn the body of the male ghost, so that he will not be able to go to you again."
If Mr. Wang can solve the matter of the male ghost satisfactorily this time, then maybe my life will be more or less back on track, but my intuition tells me that it is impossible for that scheming male ghost to be defeated by Mr. Wang so easily.
I lowered my eyes, thought for a moment, and silently swallowed all those bad premonitions, not intending to convey my negative emotions to Mr. Wang.
"I hope so." I leaned back in the passenger seat, tilted my head slightly, resting my chin with one hand, and stared out the window at the receding scenery.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Wang parked his car near an abandoned factory in the suburbs, and he told me that the aura of the male ghost was gone, and it was obvious that this was probably the place where the male ghost lived.
"Let's go, maybe there will be a lot of harvest in this factory." I quickly unfastened the seat belt that was tied to my body, opened the door with one hand, and jumped out.
"The location of the marker shows that the male ghost is indeed in this abandoned factory now, as for where it is, we need to go in and see for ourselves." Mr. Wang said as he took out two flashlights from the back seat of the car, saying that he might be able to use them in them.
With trepidation, I walked in side by side with Mr. Wang.
Factories that have been abandoned for several years, as soon as you walk in, there is a strong smell of dust in the air, as if a sneeze will fill your mouth with flying dust.
I took a flashlight and looked around vigilantly, hoping that Mr. Wang and I could solve the matter of the male ghost perfectly today.
"Mr. Wang, that is." As the further I went, the dimmer it became, and I could barely see my surroundings by relying on the beam of a flashlight. In the distance, a blue flame suddenly caught my attention, I subconsciously pointed in the direction of Mr. Wang, and slowly approached with the curiosity in my heart, but I didn't expect that it was an arm that was spontaneously combusting.
"It seems that we are still a step late."
"This is his?"
"He's seriously injured and won't get better for a while, let's go back first and think about it in the long run."
The male ghost's escape was expected, so I didn't dwell too much on it.
When I returned home with Mr. Wang, I just rested for a while, and he asked me to pack up my things, saying that I was going to find a Taoist friend.
I came out after packing up my things and saw Mr. Wang sealing the male ghost's arm.
"Mr. Wang, what's the use of this arm?"
"You have to rely on it to find the male ghost, have you packed up, let's go."
When I got out of the shop, it was not early, and Mr. Wang and I went to the street to catch a taxi.
Because I haven't rested since I got off work, I'm really sleepy, and I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car.
I don't know how long the car was driving, but I was woken up by Mr. Wang, and when I opened my eyes and looked out the window, I found that we were already out of the city.
When we got off the bus, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Mr. Wang, your friend lives really far away." I couldn't help but grumble.
Mr. Wang glanced at me and walked quickly to the village in front of him.
I followed, and a few minutes later, we came to the entrance of a village called Wind Village.
The village was quiet, and there were no figures walking around, and it was a little strange to be deserted.
I entered the village with Mr. Wang, and along the way, I found that the doors of the houses in the village were all closed. Even if there was an open one, there was no one in the house.
"See what?" Mr. Wang stopped suddenly.
I turned my head to look at Mr. Wang and whispered, "Mr. Wang, this can't be a deserted village, right?" Not a single figure ...... gone."
"Why do you care so much?" Mr. Wang's expression instantly became very serious, which startled me.
I don't dare say more.
Mr. Wang walked a long way before I slowly followed.
I followed Mr. Wang into a thatched hut, which was very simplely furnished, with an old wooden table and a few bamboo chairs, and a teapot that looked to be very old.
"Arrived so early." A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
I turned my head to see a man dressed in plain clothes, with gray hair, but a face that looked like he was only about forty years old.
Mr. Wang greeted him with a smile, "It's early, the sun is about to set." ”
The two chatted for a long time, but they didn't get to the point.
I'm a little dry, not in a hurry, but in a hurry, but in falling asleep.
"Mr. Wang, I ......" I subconsciously glanced at Mr. Wang's friend.
"How?"
"I guess I'm hungry." Mr. Wang's friend smiled, "You sit down first, and I'll cook for you." ”
After Mr. Wang's friend left, I quipped, "Mr. Wang, your friend doesn't look like a Taoist priest!" ”
Mr. Wang gave me a blank look, "You talk a lot." ”
"By the way, what should I call your friend?" I quickly digressed from the subject.
Mr. Wang thought for a while, "Let's call him Zombie." ”
Zombie? At his age, it is more than enough to be called uncle. But Mr. Wang said this, and I can't say anything.
The stiff man's movements were quite fast, and it didn't take long for him to fry three dishes for us.
After eating, Master Zombie told us to rest first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow.
I was concerned about the male ghost, but I knew that this matter was in a hurry, so I obediently went to sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up when I heard the sound of chopping wood outside.
After looking at the time, it will only be more than twelve o'clock in the morning, who will be chopping wood?
