Wu Youyou clenched her fist, clapped her hands, and suddenly realized, "I know! It must be because of the talisman Kui Kui gave me that I escaped this calamity!"

She seemed to have thought of something else, and frowned, saying, "That doesn't make sense! Doesn't Li Ke'er also have Kui Kui's protective charm? Why did she get affected?"

Xia Menglu glanced at Kui Kui secretly and said, "I know about this. I went to the restroom that day and just happened to pass by Li Ke'er."

"There was a small piece of yellow paper floating in the toilet. She must have thrown away the amulet. I wasn't sure at the time, so I didn't tell you."

"This person! That's outrageous! She deserves her bad luck. Poor Wang Duoyu, she spent money to buy her doll and became her scapegoat."

Wu Youyou sighed as she spoke, and she and Xia Menglu looked at the paper figure in Kui Kui's hand at the same time.

"KuiKui, will this paper doll in your hand continue to harm people?"

"We won't give it that chance."

She placed the paper figure on the ground, knelt on one knee, and softly proclaimed, "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

At the same time, his hands continuously formed hand seals.

The right hand is called Prajna, and the left hand is called Samadhi.

Ten degrees refers to the ten fingers being either upright, bent, or interlocked.

As the nine-syllable mantra was uttered, the paper figures on the ground trembled violently, spontaneously combusted, and turned to ashes.

"So cool!" Xia Menglu is an anime fan, and her favorite is the action-packed anime from Little Days Country.

What Kuikui had just done immediately reminded her of ninjas in anime.

Her eyes were filled with adoration as she looked at Kui Kui.

She never dreamed that a character from a comic book would appear in real life and become her roommate.

Then I thought of the nine-character mantra in the comic, which seemed to be different from the one that Kui Kui had just recited.

She asked curiously, "KuiKui, isn't the Nine-Character Seal supposed to be 'Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Zai Qian'?"

Kui Kui stood up and patiently explained, "The Nine-Character Mantra comes from the Inner Chapters of the Baopuzi, specifically the chapter on Ascending and Crossing."

“Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Jie Zhen Lie Qian Xing.”

"These nine characters should be secretly recited constantly, and nothing will be able to escape them. The essential path is simple and straightforward; this is what it means."

"As for what you said, it is the Dongmi, one of the sects of the Little Day Kingdom, and the version that was learned incorrectly during the Tang Dynasty."

Xia Menglu suddenly realized.

Kuikui, however, thought of another problem.

"Lulu, you told me before that these dolls aren't actually real SD dolls, but come from a doll shop that Uncle Xia recently acquired, right?"

Xia Menglu nodded.

"It was by chance that an employee of my dad's company discovered a small shop in Zhonghai City. The craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, even surpassing the SD dolls currently sold in Xiao Rizi Guo."

“They saw this as a business opportunity, so they reported it to my dad, set up a project team, and acquired the small shop.”

"At the same time, we invited the original boss to be our consultant, hoping to create a traditional Chinese style doll."

"These dolls I gave you were from the boss's shop. My father's subordinates originally wanted to destroy them all."

Wu Youyou had already put the doll's head back on and exclaimed in shock, "Why destroy it? This doll is so beautiful, it would have been nice to give it away!"

"Yes, that's what I thought too. So I rescued them all."

Xia Menglu smiled, a hint of regret flashing across her face.

"I just never imagined these dolls would harm people. Luckily you're all alright, otherwise I would be held responsible."

Wu Youyou patted her on the back and comforted her, "It's not your fault. If it were me, I would have done the same."

Xia Menglu forced a smile.

Kui Kui fell into deep thought and asked, "Have you asked why these dolls were destroyed?"

Xia Menglu shook her head. "Uncle Li said that the original owner wanted to destroy them."

Kui Kui nodded and said, "So, the boss might know something. He doesn't want these dolls to harm people."

Xia Menglu frowned and said, "Kui Kui, there's something wrong with these dolls. Why was I fine before? I have dozens of dolls piled up in my room."

"I didn't know you back then, and I didn't have any amulets."

Kui Kui thought for a moment and said, "It might be related to the school environment."

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, she explained, "Most schools are built on cemeteries or graveyards. The students' yang energy is used to suppress the original yin energy."

"Women are associated with Yin, and our dormitory is room 404 in building 4. So at night, the previously dormant curse was activated."

This also explains why Xiaobai didn't notice anything unusual about the doll at first.

The doll, who had been planning to cause trouble on the very first night, immediately pretended to be well-behaved because of Kui Kui's sudden awakening.

"Lulu, you shouldn't keep those dolls anymore. Destroy them all."

"If you can't bear to part with it, take out the paper figure like Youyou did just now. As for the paper figure, just burn it."

Xia Menglu nodded emphatically, "Okay!"

She suggested, "How about this? After military training is over, I'll invite you all to my house."

"Shall we deal with those dolls together? To be honest, I'm a little scared to do it alone."

"If you're scared, why don't you just give me all the dolls!" Wu Youyou said with a smile.

In her view, the dolls were not scary; what was scary was the person who cast the curse.

"Alright, alright, you can have them all!"

Kui Kui nodded as well; she was also curious whether all dolls were cursed.

If circumstances allowed, she would even like to meet the doll shop owner.

After a night of turmoil, a faint red glow appeared on the horizon.

Kui Ziyu and Yan Shi'an also got off the plane, returned to the city to regroup, picked up their car, and headed to Wangjia Village.

Unexpectedly, we encountered a maze, constantly going around in circles on the highway.

Kui Ziyu snorted coldly and said, "A trivial skill."
