Chapter 28: Not a single one is normal.
Although one vengeful spirit has been dealt with, three more are lurking in the shadows, ready to strike.
Without pausing, Lin Sui decisively scattered the copper coin sword and, together with the spirit talisman, set up a Big Dipper formation on the ground to trap the three evil spirits that were trying to escape.
"You stinking Taoist priest! You really think I'm afraid of you? Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish!"
Amidst Old Lady Liu's hoarse roars, three long, scarlet tongues emerged from the ground, chuckling as they entangled Yu Cinian, Si Xingran, and Lu Xiang.
The three of them only felt a black shadow flash by, and the tongue was right in front of their faces. Fortunately, they were prepared this time and moved quickly, dodging the long tongue like lightning.
The tongue narrowly missed the side of their necks before rushing straight towards Tangxi and Liye behind them.
Li Ye reacted quickly, but Tang Xi, who hadn't practiced, was a beat slower.
Fortunately, she had a bodyguard who leaped up and intercepted her tongue before it was wrapped around her neck, biting down hard and refusing to let go.
"Ugh, damn it! Damn it!"
Unable to catch a single one, Old Lady Liu roared in anger, her long tongue twisting and dancing in the air.
Like wild grass growing wildly, countless fine hairs emerged from the ground, spreading to everyone's feet in the blink of an eye.
"Get away!"
Lin Sui gave a low shout, not directed at anyone, but at the Shiba Inu puppy that was still tearing at the dog.
The dog seemed to know what she was going to do and ran towards the outside of the formation without hesitation.
Just as it reached the edge and was about to crash into the magic circle, Lin Sui formed a sword shape with his left hand and tore a gash in the magic circle.
Once the Shiba Inu had run away safely, she simultaneously completed the talisman she had drawn in the air with her right hand and slapped it directly onto the ground.
Boom! The talismans and magic arrays merged together, and a raging fire erupted.
Lu Xiang and the others, who were still engulfed in the fire, felt no burning sensation at all; only the hair that had spread and wrapped around their bodies was instantly annihilated.
"Ah—why? Why! She's the one who deserves to die the most! She's the one—"
The evil spirits, having been wiped out, howled in agony, turning to ashes in despair and resentment.
[Holy crap—I'm so sorry, fairy sister, I was too loud earlier!!! [kneeling][kneeling][kneeling]]
Ha, you dare to show off such a paltry trick? Aren't you afraid I'll slap you across the face?
[Is Lin Sui too powerful? I was so scared of the old corpse in the mountain village that I actually think ghosts are nothing special... I'm really getting carried away.]
[Hmm, impressive, the special effects are pretty strong.]
[Yu Cinian and the others are amazing! If I were there, I would have been scared out of my wits. How did they manage to dodge? Those were ghosts!]
The abandoned old house has returned to complete tranquility, and the faint sounds of insects and birds in the mountains can still be heard.
Si Xingran watched as Lin Sui strung the copper coins together to make a bracelet and put it back on his wrist, then gave a flamboyant whistle: "Wow, Master Lin, you're so handsome I want to take my pants off."
"...Keep your underwear on, I'm afraid the live stream will be gone." Lin Sui looked at him with a complicated expression.
Yu Cinian glanced at the two of them, then suddenly raised his hand and sawed, severing an arm that was trying to slip away from his sight in two.
"Eek~" The head not far away was so frightened that it dared not move again.
Having witnessed Lin Sui's prowess firsthand, the twin sisters hiding in the corner immediately rushed over eagerly: "Master, what else do you want to know? We'll tell you everything."
Lin Sui thought for a moment and shook her head: "No need, I'll see you off now."
As she spoke, she looked at the Shiba Inu and asked Tangxi, "Should we say goodbye to it?"
Tang Xi lowered her eyes. The little Shiba Inu was sitting obediently in front of her, its head tilted back, its round eyes looking at them with a bewildered expression.
It seems to know nothing, only instinctively protecting those who are good to it.
It seemed to know nothing, not even that it was dead...
[This hook looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.]
It looks a lot like that stray dog that was taken away and disposed of at our school before.
[I found the photo, it's that one! When the dog got caught in the net, it must have thought it was finally going to have a home, it was even smiling the whole time, oh my god, I'm so sad!]
Because of an incident where a vicious dog attacked someone, the city began a crackdown on stray dogs.
One of them was a Shiba Inu.
[So pitiful! Who could such a small dog hook hurt? Why did they have to catch them all?]
[Ugh, I'm so angry! The worst people are those who abandon their pets and walk their dogs without leashes, what does this have to do with Guan Xiu Gou?!]
[Can you stop being a sympathetic saint? Aren't there plenty of cases of vicious dogs attacking people? An animal is an animal. Instead of complaining here, you should worry more about your parents.]
[Hehe, I miss my family even more when I see cats and dogs!]
[Wait a minute, so after Xiu Gou was executed, he also became a ghost and was very close to Tang Xi?]
It seems that little thing Tangxi is a bit cunning; none of them are normal after all.
Tangxi ultimately said nothing, only patted the dog's head, and then stepped aside.
Lin Sui began chanting the Rebirth Mantra—in fact, the first time she chanted the Rebirth Mantra was to help her adoptive mother, who had been lingering by her side and refusing to leave, find peace.
She was a gentle and resilient woman, but unfortunately, she had a bad fate and was burdened with this burden.
Golden fragments of light slowly emerged, enveloping the twins, the Shiba Inu, and the scattered pieces of the ghouls on the ground like a veil.
Tangxi stared intently at the Shiba Inu, watching it grin until it disappeared from sight.
"Don't be sad, it will be reborn into a better family in its next life."
Upon hearing Lin Sui's words, Tang Xi asked, "People?"
"Well, maybe in some people's eyes, it's even better than a human." Lin Sui winked at her. "It's a panda, and it will meet a very responsible zookeeper, and be served the best food and drink for its entire life. Maybe one day you'll even see it online, see how loved it is, and that it no longer has to be a stray."
The reluctance in Tangxi's eyes vanished instantly.
She couldn't help but hug Lin Sui's arm, rubbing her tense little face against her shoulder, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her: "I... like... you!"
Although it was still written slowly, one word at a time, it was a rare complete sentence, passionate and straightforward.
Lin Sui couldn't help but smile and pat her head.
【Tachibana-san ~The lilies in my hometown have never faded~】
[Aww, so sweet! The funeral couple is the best!!!]
Let me see which clown is fighting tooth and nail? Oh, it's me.
[To the person who wants to eat poop upside down, please provide your address. I'm about to start pooping; I just had an upset stomach recently.]
"Song Dilai! Song Dilai—"
Suddenly, Lu Xiang shouted loudly, right next to Lin Sui's ear.
Lin Sui was startled and looked over blankly, only to see Lu Xiang looking impatient and very unhappy: "We haven't even gotten the important business done yet, what are you dawdling about!"
Lin Sui: "...?"
She didn't understand why Lu Xiang was angry again, but it was indeed time to get down to business.
Presumably because the threat had been eliminated, Lu Xiang only called out twice this time, and a commotion came from under the wine cabinet.
