The Exorcist

Discussion of Chapter 17 of Part 7 (Part 2)

Ruan Zhan nodded, "Yes, this evil spirit is very arrogant. She probably looks down on me, so she doesn't hide it. I saw a red cloud of Yin Qi in the center of her heart. I guess that is the original form of this evil spirit. This one's name is Zhang Jialin There is nothing wrong with the little girl, she just had her body borrowed, but I don’t know whether she is dead or alive now.”

"Let me tell you, Zhang Jialin and Xiao Xia have no grudges, so why would you hurt her!"

"The question is, what grudge does the red demon have against Xiaoxia?" Wan Li said, "And why did it take away so many children? Is it a purposeful behavior? Or is it just random?"

"In fact, the red energy has some shapes." Ruan Zhan continued thoughtfully, "It's like a red lotus. What I don't understand is that the lotus is a holy thing, so why does the evil spirit have to be shaped into that shape? ?”

"Perhaps it has something to do with the place where it lives and where it practices. You know that people always subconsciously copy things they are familiar with or like. This instinct-like behavior is very real." Wan Li said.

"Speaking of its origin, I have another piece of information." Ruan Zhan glanced at Yangyang unconsciously, "This kid was almost captured by the evil spirit, but he said he smelled it."

"What does it taste like?" Bao Datong smiled in surprise, "Do you believe it? Such a little guy. He may be talking nonsense, or he may be imagining it. You know, children always believe many untrue things as truth. .”

"It's okay to make a possible hypothesis." Wan Li said, "Don't underestimate children. They are often much smarter than adults think."

"I also think what he said is true." Xiaoxia carefully recalled Yangyang's expression at that time, "He said there was a smell of wet mud."

"Okay." Bao Datong shrugged, "We don't have to believe everything or not. But what I'm most interested in is, is it 'it' or 'them'?"

"Then it depends on whether Lu Yan's mother and son are what we suspected." Ruan Zhan said, "If they are just a weird pair of ordinary mother and son, they are 'it', otherwise, they are 'them'!"

"You just said that you saw two 'Zhang Jialin' in the hospital? Could it be——" Bao Datong tapped his chin with his finger and looked at Ruan Zhan.

"I think the one in the morgue is her clone, because I can see that she is incorporeal and can only defend, not attack. But this also proves how powerful she is, and she can actually do the clone technique."

"Is it possible there are more?" Wan Li asked.

Bao Datong looked at Wan Li in disbelief, as if Wan Li had asked an idiotic question, "The evil spirit that can prevent us from detecting his true identity must have been around for at least two or three hundred years. Do you think such a thing is available on the market?" Are there a lot of meetings?”

Having said this, Ruan Zhan carefully recalled the state of 'Zhang Jialin' at that time, and couldn't help but frown and said, "According to my opinion, our previous guess was wrong, 'she' or 'they' may have existed longer. "

At that time, he used the newly learned spell. Although he forced the little girl to scramble, he did not hurt her at all. Considering that she despised her opponent at the time, it proved that she was very powerful.

In human society, young and middle-aged people have the upper hand in physical strength and intelligence, but to evil spirits, the weaker they appear, the more ferocious they are. Such as women, such as children.

"It's better to be more prepared for difficulties." Wan Li said, "Let's assume there are three of them. The girl A Zhan and Xiao Xia met seems to be more arrogant, but what about the other two?" He said and looked at Bao Datong.

Bao Datong shook his head, "I went to help them open their business early this morning, and I have been observing secretly. The conclusion is - if they are evil spirits, then they are too powerful. Not only are they not afraid of crowds, they are not afraid of the sun, even Lu Yan I lit the firecrackers myself. Of course, the child was in poor health, and the morning sunshine was okay. By noon, he was dizzy and went back to the back. I made an excuse that the atmosphere in the store was not healthy, and also set up a Feng Shui array to exorcise ghosts. But they still don’t show any flaws.”

"Could we have guessed wrong and there is nothing wrong with mother and son?" Xiao Xia proposed a possibility, but it was immediately rejected by Ruan Zhan.

"Believe me, Xiaoxia. That mother and son are definitely unusual. At least, the child is not as simple as you think. It's just that people have different personalities, and there are many kinds of evil spirits. Some are quite arrogant, such as 'Zhang Jialin', and some are very cautious. , the latter one is even more difficult to deal with.”

Xiaoxia lowered her face in frustration, hoping in her heart that they had guessed wrong. She couldn't believe that such a cute child could be harmful!

"Sometimes we have to face things that are difficult to accept." Wan Li patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder, "Think about those innocent children who disappeared. They don't know whether they are dead or alive now, but if they are still alive, we will destroy the evil spirits. We can rescue them!”

"I understand." Xiaoxia nodded and wanted to reach for the soda on the bar. However, in a bad mood, she knocked her hand on the edge of the bar and happened to touch the wound on her left hand. She couldn't help but lightly Call out.

"You reckless girl, be careful." Because Wan Li was sitting next to her, he took her hand to check. Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhan stretched out a hand from behind and held Xiao Xia's hand in his. .

"Give me the scissors." He stared at the gauze on Xiaoxia's hand and said.

"What are you doing?" Wan Li was a little stunned.

"He was stimulated today and will destroy textiles when he sees them." Bao Datong grinned, "Just now he turned into a wolf and tore off people's clothes, and now he has to cut off the bandages that were used to wrap their wounds." But this is what he said, But he still ran upstairs and got the medicine box, scissors and a wooden box of his own.

Ruan Zhan didn't explain, but carefully cut the bandage on Xiaoxia's wound. He saw a long and slender wound on the ring finger of her left hand. It didn't look serious, but it showed a strange red color. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was... There were knots on the wound, but he smelled a trace of blood on the small wound.

How could such a small wound have such a strong smell of blood?

"It's been so many days, why hasn't it healed?" Wan Li frowned and realized something was wrong, "Didn't you see a doctor?"

"What's going on? I don't think there's anything unusual." Xiao Xia saw that Ruan Zhan and Wan Li were so interested in her fingers.

"If you hadn't touched the wound, I wouldn't have realized it." Ruan Zhan gathered his spiritual power and felt it with his heart. After a while, he said, "I know why the evil spirit can break my formation. Through Do mirrors and sounds hurt?”

"Isn't it because of my hands?"

"It's because of the blood on your hands. He only sucks a little bit of your blood, and then he can use magic to find you, just like a telephone line."

"I am extremely disappointed when I hear this." Although Bao Datong said that, he had an indifferent look on his face, "The more we analyze, the more we feel that their magic power is really strong. According to common sense, if they crush us to death, they will It's as easy as squeezing an ant to death."

"Let's untie his blood trace now." Ruan Zhan put Xiaoxia's hand on the bar and pointed to the small wooden box beside Bao Datong.

"See? I am the most useful partner. At least when it comes to solving all kinds of evil arts, my faction is the most authentic."

Bao Datong opened the wooden box as he spoke, took out a piece of yellow paper, and then took out a bottle of something like medicinal powder and a bottle of talisman water. He first poured the medicinal powder into the center of the paper, and then poured the talisman water on top. In an instant, the yellow paper that should have been soaked quickly expanded outward and turned blood red with the medicinal powder as its center. The moment the paper turned red, Bao Datong grabbed it and threw it into the air.

The paper immediately burned. Bao Datong stretched out his hand and muttered a few words silently. The ashes of the paper fell into his palm without missing a beat. He held Xiao Xia's injured hand with one hand and put paper dust on the back of her hand with the other. His eyes were closed, and he didn't know what he was saying in his mouth.

Xiao Xia thought it would be the same pain as when she pulled out the corpse poison just now, but it didn't. The back of her hand was just itchy and she wanted to scratch it to feel better. When Bao Datong finally took back his hand, Xiao Xia was surprised to find that the talisman had burned to ashes. The paper returned to its original appearance.

Bao Datong took back the red paper, took out another medicinal powder and talisman water from the wooden box, and used the same procedure to turn the paper back to yellow.

"Isn't it magical?" He tilted his head and smiled at Xiaoxia, "Don't think that this paper is ordinary paper. You can get as much as you want. This is made with special things. I only have three pieces in total."

Xiaoxia looked down at her hand and saw that the wound was still there, "Nothing has changed. It must be a bluff."

"No, this is not a chemical experiment, nor is it a trick played by magicians. It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to operate." This time, Ruan Zhan explained to Bao Datong, "The physical damage is to My own body is recovering, but this evil technique of controlling others with blood must be broken with magic."

"Then he saved me twice today?"

"Yes. Please pledge yourself to me!" Bao Datong said with a non-serious smile.

"Her hand was injured at Lu Yan's house last time. From this point of view, it is basically certain that there is something wrong with the mother and son?" Wan Li brought the topic back.

"The problem is how to find them out." Bao Datong sighed in distress, "Azhan and I have both contacted the mother and son, but we haven't found a place to start. It stands to reason that there are ghosts and demons. One's own life gate, just like the golden bell and the iron cloth shirt must have their own gate. 'Zhang Jialin' is more arrogant and looks down on A Zhan, so she can let him see the red lotus in the center of her heart, which is also her But I can’t tell anything about the mother and son.”

"Then what should we do?" Xiaoxia said, "Is it possible to imitate Jiang Ziya and burn the Pipa Spirit to death in order to drive out the evil spirits?"

"That's not possible!" Bao Datong said hurriedly, "Exorcising ghosts and killing demons is the same as imposing the death penalty in law. We must be cautious and prudent, and we must be very certain before we can exorcise demons. We must not hurt innocent people at all." Things happen, otherwise it will be extremely damaging to your moral character."

"That is to say, unless we are sure that the mother and son are evil, we cannot touch them? But how can we catch them?" Wan Li spread his hands, "They are elusive and have profound magical powers. They have at least three hundred years of Taoism. And A Zhan and Bao Datong’s combined skills only last for fifty years, and even if they bring me and Xiaoxia along with them, it will only last for one hundred years, and this data is still watery.”

"Also. I have never understood the motives of these evil spirits? Why do they want to kidnap children? What's the use? Even if they use illusions to make children leave automatically, and parents don't know about it at all, why do they hear children calling 'Mom' '? Does this have something to do with their previous life or lifetime? Why did Lu Yan want to find Bao Datong? Deliberately exposed her identity? Is there another purpose? Or does she really want to find her husband?" Xiaoxia said.

"This needs to be analyzed by our psychiatrist." Bao Datong nudged Wan Li with his elbow.

"As long as there are enough clues, I can analyze it. No matter whether it is a person or a ghost, there is a trace of behavior." Wan Li said, "Judging from the clues we have, we have a target. Lu Yan, mother and son, and Zhang Jialin ; We have relevant clues, the incident of Lu Yan’s husband Zhang Zixin; we also know a few technical details, such as red lotus flowers, the smell of wet mud, retro-style dresses, and inexplicable hatred for Xiaoxia; we even have a preliminary assessment of the opponent’s strength - they One is arrogant, the other is cautious, his magic power has hundreds of years of history, he can clone, he can track blood, the banshee’s life gate is in the middle of his chest, and the other party looks down on us in terms of his attitude towards us. These clues are too many to say. It's quite a bit less, but I need more details before I can make a preliminary analysis and judgment."

"That means we need to investigate first?" Bao Datong touched Ruan Zhan with his other elbow, "'Cousin', what do you think we should do next?"

Ruan Zhan pondered for a moment, "Now that we have locked the target, we should concentrate our efforts. In this way, we divided our troops into three groups. Along the way, we went to investigate the matter of Lu Yan's husband Zhang Zixin, which may be related to the matter of the missing children. ; The second group continued to stare at Lu Yan’s mother and son. I have a hunch that the answer to the mystery lies in this mother and son; the third group went to follow the case of missing children. Believe me, children will continue to be lost, so if these clues are found, it will be very useful to us. advantageous."

Having said this, Ruan Zhan looked around at the other three people and was quite confused about how to divide the work. Whether he likes it or not, Bao Datong is a new force for them and the best helper for him. However, their manpower increased, and their opponents unexpectedly became more powerful, leaving him as stretched as usual in terms of arrangements. Fortunately, Xiaoxia learned some magic. Although it was of little use due to her natural constitution and the short training time, she could protect herself after all, so he could worry less.

Just worrying less does not mean not worrying. No matter which task is assigned to Xiaoxia and Wanli, there will be dangers. But if Xiaoxia is not assigned a task and is left alone, the danger will be even greater, because evil spirits will always attack people who are alone.

The opponent was so powerful that he was worried about whether the defensive array in his house was foolproof. Besides, they would also use other things, so the defense would always be passive. Without him, accidents could happen at any time.

At this time, everyone else was silent, just waiting for him to speak, but he hesitated for a long time and finally made a difficult decision.
