Chapter 119 The First Attack!
There were only three temples nearby, but many shrines. The group split into two groups: Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Zhang Jie.
Saito and his group went to the temple, while Lin Yu, Ba Wang, and Li Xiaoyi went to the shrine. As for Zero, he didn't come along because he was looking for a suitable sniping spot.
Lin Yu and his two companions got into a taxi, and then no one spoke, creating an awkward atmosphere inside the car.
The main reason is naturally Lin Yu and Li Xiaoyi. Ever since Li Xiaoyi took it upon himself to enhance his abilities last time, Lin Yu has basically stopped communicating with him. Li Xiaoyi sensed Lin Yu's indifference and didn't dare to talk to Lin Yu much either.
As for the Overlord, he didn't speak Mandarin very well to begin with, and he wasn't good with words either, so he couldn't even ease the atmosphere if he wanted to.
Perhaps this grouping was Zheng Zha's intention, to ease the tension between the two. After all, that's just the kind of person he is; he doesn't really care about Li Xiaoyi's unauthorized actions.
As far as Lin Yu was concerned, there was no need to care about disobedient newcomers. It was good enough that he hadn't actively eliminated them, and naturally, there was no way he would forgive them or repair the relationship.
Li Xiaoyi, perhaps out of fear or perhaps because he didn't think he was wrong, didn't speak up either, and the car remained silent.
Lin Yu visited several shrines, but none of the people in charge knew anything about ghosts or curses; they were all just ordinary people. Lin Yu wasn't disappointed because he didn't expect these things to deal with the curse. It would be best if he could find them, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't. However, Ba Wang and Li Xiaoyi were clearly becoming more and more disappointed.
"It's getting dark, let's wrap up the operation."
Lin Yu was too lazy to look for it anymore and decided to go straight back to the hotel.
Li Xiaoyi and Ba Wang did not object, and they were no longer in the mood to continue the search.
While the three were waiting for the car, Lin Yu suddenly felt a chilling aura. He immediately looked in the direction from which the aura came and saw it coming from Li Xiaoyi.
Then Lin Yu saw a pale-faced child emerge from the ground and grab Li Xiaoyi's ankle. Li Xiaoyi's face turned pale and he was unable to move. He was terrified and wanted to run away but couldn't. Clearly, he was just as vulnerable as an ordinary person in the face of evil spirits.
"Brother Lin, save me!"
Ignoring everything else, Li Xiaoyi could only scream and beg Lin Yu for help.
However, before Lin Yu could make a move, the evil spirit Junxiong released Li Xiaoyi. Of course, it wasn't that Junxiong was kind enough to let Li Xiaoyi go, but rather that the talisman sensed the evil spirit's attack and began to protect its master, so Junxiong had no choice but to release Li Xiaoyi.
Junxiong, who had released Li Xiaoyi, did not leave. Instead, he stared at Lin Yu and Bawang with predatory eyes. The next second, he pounced on Lin Yu.
"court death!"
Lin Yu wasn't afraid of the Ju-on's main body, so naturally he wasn't afraid of Junxiong, this little evil spirit. He pointed forward and a golden light, like a sharp sword, pierced through Junxiong's heart. With a child's scream, Junxiong disappeared, seemingly vanished into thin air.
However, Lin Yu knew that as long as the curse remained and the evil spirit remained, this little devil would likely revive, but it probably wouldn't be able to attack them again for a while.
"Wow...amazing!"
Seeing Lin Yu easily eliminate the evil spirit, Ba Wang immediately gave him a thumbs up in praise, and then asked Lin Yu what kind of magic he used and how he was so powerful.
"I'm not using magic, it's the technique I used last time."
Lin Yu explained to Ba Wang.
The Overlord felt a little regretful upon hearing this, as he was unable to learn those techniques.
Although he couldn't learn them, Ba Wang was still very interested in these techniques, so on the way back he kept asking Lin Yu all sorts of questions, while Li Xiaoyi, like an outsider, couldn't get a word in edgewise.
To be honest, Li Xiaoyi regretted it a little. He should have known better than to strengthen the Ghost Swordsman bloodline on his own initiative. So he decided to find a time to apologize to Lin Yu.
The three returned to the hotel and went to Zheng Zha's suite, intending to tell him about what had happened that day. However, upon entering the room, they realized that something was wrong. One of the three strangers was missing, and the other two seemed to be in shock, crying and sobbing. Zheng Zha looked very upset as he questioned the two of them.
"What happened?"
Lin Yu glanced at Ming Yanwei standing to the side, and then asked.
"I don't know the specifics. I was trying on clothes in the fitting room when the three of them went to the restroom. Then I heard gunshots, and in the end, only the two of them ran back."
Ming Yanwei replied.
Following Lin Yu's instructions, she approached the three men and secretly guided their thoughts, but unexpectedly encountered an attack by an evil spirit. For safety's sake, she naturally didn't go to check what happened and returned directly, so she didn't know the specifics.
Zheng Zha continued to question the two about what had happened. The door was opened again, and this time it was Zhao Yingkong who came in.
"What an interesting way to die. Several new victims have appeared online. A young man was found in the sewer pipes of a shopping mall toilet. His flesh and blood were squeezed into a sausage shape. It's hard to imagine how he did it."
Despite it being a chilling way to die, Zhao Yingkong smiled.
"Several other corpses with extremely peculiar deaths were also discovered. One person's body was broken into hundreds of pieces, and another..."
Zhao Yingkong continued to describe with a smile how the people killed by the vengeful ghosts died, and with each person she described, the others grew more terrified.
"That's enough!"
Zhao Yingkong's behavior angered Zheng Zha. He grabbed her, lifted her up, and demanded, "What are you trying to achieve by telling us all this? Are you trying to demoralize us? How can we survive seven days without morale?"
Zhao Yingkong's smile vanished as she was lifted up, her expression turning sharp. She coldly said, "Let me go. It's my business what I say. Even if you join this team, it doesn't mean I acknowledge you. In my opinion, apart from Zero Point, none of you are qualified to be my team members!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhao Yingkong launched an attack. Her delicate little hand was as sharp as a blade. With a light slash, she cut the veins in Zheng Zha's wrist, forcing him to release her.
Zheng Zha was startled. His body was extremely strong, and even ordinary people would have difficulty penetrating his defenses with sharp weapons. This little girl had done it so easily, and with her fingernails no less. It was truly unbelievable.
After landing, Zhao Yingkong continued her attack, raising her wrist to aim directly at Zheng Zha's carotid artery.
[Doesn't seem to be a superhuman?]
Although Zhao Yingkong was fast, it was only relative to ordinary people. To Zheng Zha, it was only average, which made Zheng Zha certain that Zhao Yingkong was just an ordinary person with some special characteristics.
Zheng Zha was startled by Zhao Yingkong, thinking that she was a superhuman like Lin Yu before entering the Main God Space, since ordinary people cannot hurt themselves even with swords.
But if that's all there is to it, then it shouldn't be considered a superhuman.
