Translator: 549690339
Zou Yingsong and the other four technology students were dumbfounded.
Playing the spirit-invoking game?
That scene just now had left them with an indelible mental scar!
They never wanted to play the spirit-invoking game again in their entire lives!
A female student wailed hysterically, “Please let us go…aren’t you a good person? Let us out, or I’m calling the police!”
At first, she sounded pleading.
But as she spoke, she began to threaten Xu Yang and even took out her phone and pointed it at his face, “If you don’t let us go, I’ll post your pictures all over the internet…”
Smack!
Xu Yang slapped the phone to the ground and stomped on it a few times. Still not satisfied, he flicked his fingers, launching a “Fire Manipulation Skill” that turned the phone into fireworks. Angrily, he said, “Damn, I’m here to save you, and you’re actually threatening me?”
“Do as 1 say, or I’ll smash you with my hammer!”
He pulled the big iron hammer hidden behind his back and slammed it on the desk!
Bang!
There was a muffled noise.
The desk was smashed, leaving a hole in it.
The students had never seen such a scene.
They could only return to their seats weeping.
Outside the door.
Footsteps approached.
It was Elder Wang who leaned in through the window and asked, “Xu Yang, what’s going on? 1 just sensed a red-clothed spirit’s aura…huh?”
He saw the students and scolded, “Which class do you students belong to? What are you doing here…Ye Sijia, is that you?”
“Ah!”
“Elder Wang!”
The girl whose phone had just been smashed by Xu Yang jumped up excitedly, “Elder Wang, help me! This man wants to hurt me!”
“This…”
Elder Wang walked into the classroom and asked, “Xu Yang, what’s going on?”
Glancing at the girl hiding behind Elder Wang, Xu Yang blinked and suddenly remembered a story he had read called “Gatekeeper Master Qin and Ye Sijia.” He recounted what happened earlier, saying, “The creature was frightened away by the sound of the piano, so I want them to play the spirit-invoking game again to see if we can summon it.”
“A gray monster that’s half-human, half-beast?”
“It can even explode with the aura of a red-clothed spirit by borrowing power?”
Elder Wang’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Xu Yang, don’t act rashly. This level of Yin spirits and malevolent beings is not something you can deal with…Why don’t we leave the building first and inform the Spirits Management Bureau…The Xi Xia Spirits Management Bureau branch is stationed in Silver City. There’s an Innate Realm martial arts Grandmaster, they can definitely handle the situation here!”
How could Xu Yang earn merit points if he let the Spirits Management Bureau handle it?
Naturally, he was unwilling.
Moreover, the creature’s power hadn’t reached the level of a red-clothed spirit. It was borrowing some force instead.
The sound of the piano seemed to be able to cut off the connection with that force.
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Elder Wang. I’ve got it under control. You all stay seated here, and I’ll set up some precautions.”
He took out several “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans” and pasted them on the windowpanes.
Still not feeling secure, he took out a talisman brush and cinnabar ink and began drawing talismans on the walls.
In his spare time, Xu Yang had been learning to draw talismans.
He mainly focused on the basic Daoist talismans like Safety Talismans, Wealth Attraction Talismans, Evil-warding Talismans, and Ghost-repelling Talismans. However, talismans were challenging to draw, and so far, his success rate wasn’t very high.
“This is…”
“An Evil-warding Talisman?”
“No, I’ve seen an Evil-warding Talisman before. Your design is slightly different from it…”
Elder Wang watched Xu Yang draw the talisman and spoke. Xu Yang was taken aback and carefully inspected it, “Well…haha, my bad, my bad. It’s my first time drawing a talisman on a wall, so I couldn’t control it well.”
He made corrections, which took him a full hour, eventually drawing six
Evil-warding Talismans and eight Ghost-repelling Talismans on the wall, then taking out the “Supreme Purification Seal” and stamping them one by one!
Elder Wang nodded and said, “The talisman brush left by your grandpa is a treasure, which enhances the power of Daoist talismans. With the blessings of the Heavenly Master’s seal of your Jingming Sect, these talismans can even trap a true Red Robe.”
“In that case… Jiajia, you and your classmates play the pen spirit game again!”
“Elder Wang…”
“Don’t worry, with Elder Wang here, no demons or ghosts can hurt you at all!”
The girl calmed down immediately.
Even the other students were not so afraid anymore.
Xu Yang was dumbfounded. Was this old guy so authoritative in the school?
Ignoring all that, Xu Yang said, “We’ll play the pen spirit game later. I need to go to the piano room on the fourth floor and talk to the person who played the piano. First, I need to find out where that thing came from.”
He left the classroom and headed straight for the fourth floor.
As he entered the fourth-floor hallway, the air seemed to quiet down.
In the hallway, there was a faint yin energy floating around.
Following Elder Wang’s directions, Xu Yang found the legendary “piano room.”
The door of the piano room was locked.
Inside, there was complete silence.
Xu Yang hesitated for a few seconds, knocked on the door, and asked, “Anyone there?”
There was still silence inside.
“Anyone… no, any ghost there?”
Clearing his throat, Xu Yang politely knocked on the door again and said, “1 know you can hear me talking, don’t worry, I’m not a bad person, I’m here to help you.”
At that moment.
Inside the piano room.
A female ghost was sitting nervously on a chair.
She had witnessed everything that had happened in the building and naturally “saw” how Xu Yang had used his sword and hammer to intimidate those juniors…
Seeing his face, the female ghost’s face showed a worried look when she heard the person outside the door say he was not a bad person.
She reached out, caressed the piano strings, and played a melody, hoping to scare away the students who wanted to come to the piano room as before.
However…
The knocking on the door became louder.
Xu Yang’s temper flared up, and he slammed the door angrily a few times, shouting, “You’re playing dead with me, huh?”
“You’re playing the piano, pretending not to hear, what do you mean?”
Bang Bang Bang!
He slammed the door hard and shouted, “Are you going to open the door or not? If you don’t, I’ll break in!”
Ding!
“The female ghost is scared. Merit points +10, piano skills +1.”
Inside the piano room, the female ghost shook and quickly said weakly, “Master, don’t be angry… It’s not that I don’t want to open the door for you, but…”
Outside the piano room.
After hearing the system prompt, Xu Yang’s eyes lit up, and he hammered the door hard a few more times, deliberately menacing, “Open the damn door or not? Do you believe I’ll hammer you to death?”
Ding!
“The female ghost is scared. Merit points +10, piano skills +1.”
The female ghost was almost in tears. She hurriedly explained, “Master, the door is locked, and I can’t open it from inside.”
Xu Yang:”…”
He raised the hammer, striking it down, and the lock broke instantly.
Then he kicked open the door, strode into the piano room, and glared at the female ghost dressed as a female student sitting in front of the piano, waving his hammer menacingly, “Don’t be scared, I’m here to help you…!”
“Now, i ask, and you answer.. If you dare to hide anything, I’ll hammer you to
death!”
