Chapter 572: Quite Lively

When Ye Wanxi arrived at the entrance of the residential area with charcoal, Wen Yuan and her companion also arrived just then.

Because of Wen Yuan's constant urging, Xun Weian was practically driving like a maniac, running two or three red lights along the way, and his driver's license was definitely going to be lost.

Fortunately, this was a newly developed urban area, and there weren't many cars or pedestrians on the road late at night; otherwise, Xun Weian really wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.

"Ms. Ye."

This was the first time Ye Wanxi had seen Wen Yuan in several months. Wen Yuan's belly was already quite noticeable. When she rushed over in a hurry, Xun Weian was still protecting her, afraid that she would fall if she ran too fast.

"Okay. We can catch up later. Let's go find someone first."

"Yes, yes, hurry inside and find someone."

Since it's a top-tier apartment building that cost a lot of money, the property management company is naturally quite cautious.

Wen Jue and others were invited by Li Weiming to visit his home, and they had registered beforehand.

After Wen Yuan explained her purpose, the security guard, out of caution, called Li Weiming's home again to confirm, but naturally, the call didn't go through.

Seeing that Wen Yuan and the others seemed genuinely anxious, and worried that something might have really happened to the residents, they decided to have several security guards on duty with them lead them over to check on the situation.

At this moment, Li Weiming and the others inside the room had completely collapsed.

"Wen Jue, what should we do? Your lucky charm is gone."

"It's all over, it's all over, we're all going to die here."

Wen Jue was getting a headache from their noise. He couldn't contain his anger any longer, so he scratched his head and said angrily, "Alright, enough crying! All you do is cry. If you hadn't been yelling like that, letting that ghost know that this talisman is a consumable item and will only be effective after blocking a few disasters, I might have been able to confuse him for a while and kill him. And now you still have the nerve to cry!"

Wen Jue was so frustrated by how stupid these people were. How come he never realized before that all the people he knew were such terrible teammates?

When the unseen entity attacked them at the beginning, the amulet came into play, flashing with golden light and injuring the attacker.

Wen Jue even heard the other party's screams. He remembered that when his sister gave him the talisman, she told him that it could protect him and ward off evil spirits.

They immediately decided to use the talisman to exorcise the unseen thing, hoping to annihilate it and prevent it from ever coming back to them.

Unfortunately, these incompetent teammates kept asking him questions after they discovered that the talisman was a valuable item. Not only that, but they also made a lot of noise and shouted things, which the thing overheard.

The other party was already wary of his talisman, so now they stopped confronting him head-on and started using the various items in the room.

They attacked them again and again, eventually exhausting the effectiveness of the talisman.

Wen Jue's roar silenced everyone, and they all remained silent, looking embarrassed.

However, even without their lifeline, the danger lurking in the shadows will not stop bothering them just because they remain silent.

With a sharp bang, everyone froze, turning to look in the direction of the sound. Their eyes narrowed in horror as they watched the massive bookcase on the side of the room shake violently before rising into the air and flying towards them like the tables, chairs, and lamps that had attacked them earlier.

“Run!”

Without the protection of the amulet, the group dared not stay together this time, and instead ran separately.

Unfortunately, Li Weiming's house was already under the control of that kind of thing, and no matter how hard they ran, they couldn't get out or go far.

In the chaos, a girl tripped over the chandelier frame that had just fallen to the ground and fell hard. The cabinet that had been chasing them instantly found its target and flew towards her.

"Xiaohui!" Another girl who came with her exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, attracting the attention of several boys.

Even though they were blaming each other before, when faced with their partner's life being threatened, everyone rushed over immediately, but they were still a step too late.

When Song Xiaohui fell, her limbs were cut by shards of glass on the ground. Although the wounds were not deep, they were very painful.

This also limited her movements and escape efficiency. Hearing her best friend's scream, she subconsciously looked up and saw the bookshelf fly in front of her, hovering above her head, about to crash down.

Solid wood bookshelves are heavy to begin with, not to mention they're packed full of books. If you were to smash one, it would probably leave a bloody mess.

Song Xiaohui felt ice-cold all over. She even forgot how to move and just sat there stiffly, her mind blank, as if she could already see her tragic end.

At the critical moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud bang.

The dark curtain seemed to be suddenly torn open, and light shone in. A familiar golden light also flew in like a cannonball from behind the light, hitting the bookshelf hard.

boom……

The huge bookcase collapsed on the spot, and the books on it shattered into pieces, scattering like petals from a fairy's shower, covering the girl completely.

Ye Wanxi walked into the house after the lights came on, looked at the stunned crowd, glanced at the messy house, and raised an eyebrow: "Wow, so many people, it's quite lively!"

These words jolted everyone awake, and Wen Jue pointed at Ye Wanxi in shock: "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Yuan and Xun Weian rushed in from behind Ye Wanxi: "Xiao Jue."

"Sister, brother-in-law!" Wen Jue rushed forward, "What's going on...?"

Then she remembered that she had called them for help not long ago, and that they had come with Ye Wanxi, so she already had a guess in her mind.

"Mr. Li, what's going on here..." The security guards who came with Ye Wanxi and the others entered the room and saw a scene of devastation comparable to a storm. Then they saw the two girls who had somehow run to their best friend's side and were crying together, hugging their best friend who had escaped death. Their gazes toward Li Weiming and the others were somewhat subtle, clearly indicating that they had misunderstood something.

Li Weiming and the others then seemed to snap out of their daze. They glanced at the room, which had suddenly become brightly lit, and met the strange looks from the security guards. Their faces turned pale as they explained, "We were just playing with some new and interesting toys from abroad. We didn't expect them to be so dangerous, hahaha..."

Li Weiming chuckled twice, unable to continue the story any longer, and directly told them to leave: "If you don't have anything else to do, you should go back first. We need to clean the house."

The security guards hesitated, then left without saying anything, their expressions subtle.

Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at a few young people. His gaze was truly indescribable, as if he were looking at some bully who was pushing people into a fire pit.

Li Weiming and the others: "..." This misunderstanding is hard to explain.

Once the security guards left, Ye Wanxi found a relatively intact sofa and sat down. Meeting the curious yet restrained gazes of these young people, she asked in a low voice, "So, what happened?"
