"Mom, I'm here!" Li Fagui shouted at the top of his lungs, and then sprang out from the corner like a spring.

The red underwear was still on his head, looking particularly comical in this eerie and tense atmosphere.

Ma Linghua looked at him, her face darkening, her lips twitching involuntarily. After a long silence, she said, "……………………I don't know you."

She really didn't want to admit to having any relationship with this weirdo; it was just too embarrassing, and she felt like he was making her lose all face.

"Oh! Look at me." Li Fagui realized what was happening and hurriedly pulled the red underwear off his head, revealing his slightly messy hair. His face was full of ingratiating smiles. "Mom, now you know me, right?" He looked like a child eager to take credit.

Looking at him, Ma Linghua couldn't help but recall how she used to find Hehua annoying. Now, compared to Fa Gui, Fa Gui was simply detestable.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe borrows its power, seal." Ma Hehua's expression was solemn as she stared at the vortex-like hole before her. Her hands quickly formed a seal, and she chanted an incantation. A powerful stream of profound energy shot out from her hands.

As Xuan energy was injected, the vortex-like opening began to slowly shrink, and the eerie wind around it gradually disappeared.

The scene was chaotic, with various items overturned and the walls covered with signs of a struggle.

The rescue team arrived shortly afterward.

However, a special rule was set: anyone who leaves this building will have their memory erased, as if everything that happened here would become a sealed secret.

"Mom, that thing shone on me, how come I didn't lose my memory?" Ma Hehua exclaimed, her eyes wide with confusion, her loud voice sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet environment.

Several staff members couldn't help but twitch at his words, speechless. One of them muttered a complaint under his breath, "Couldn't you just not have said it?"

His eyes were full of disdain. This guy really has no tact whatsoever; he just blurted out what everyone was tacitly aware of.

The banquet, which had been meticulously prepared and had been in the works for a long time, was once again ruined by this series of bizarre events.

The guests had already dispersed, leaving the scene in a mess, with tables and chairs askew and exquisite decorations scattered everywhere.

However, Ma Linghua didn't pay much attention to these things; her focus was entirely on the food that hadn't yet been served.

As if they had discovered a new continent, their eyes lit up as they looked at the chicken, duck, fish and meat that were originally intended for the banquet.

She quickly found various containers and packed up all the food she hadn't tried before, muttering as she packed, "So much delicious food, we can't waste it."

She seemed to have forgotten the danger she had just experienced, her mind filled only with the delicious food.

Those around her looked at her with a mixture of exasperation and amusement. Although the banquet had been ruined, she had unexpectedly gained a lot of delicious food, which was quite a unique experience.

The three of them, carrying large and small bags full of food packed from the banquet, awkwardly climbed into the Volkswagen.

"Where is my father?" Ma Hehua asked as soon as she sat down.

"I'm asleep. People get sleepy more as they get older."

As Ma Linghua started the car, she replied, "By the way, Kyoto isn't very safe lately, so we'd better keep a low profile."

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly, revealing her unease about the current situation.

After she finished speaking, she quietly gazed at the distant scenery, her thoughts seemingly drifting away.

Kyoto's nights should be bustling and peaceful, but recent anomalies have cast an eerie shadow over the city.

The streetlights still shone brightly, but in the dark corners that the light couldn't reach, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were hiding.

Just then, a blurry ghostly figure suddenly appeared on the car window.

The ghostly image seeped out from the depths of darkness, initially just a faint outline, barely perceptible, like a wisp of smoke.

As time passed, its shape gradually became clearer, revealing itself to be a hideous demon with eyes that gleamed with an eerie green light, radiating a chilling aura.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the car window, striking directly at everyone inside.

The temperature inside the car seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and a chill swept over us.

Ma Linghua, Ma Hehua, and Li Fagui were all taken aback by the sudden appearance of the ghostly figure.

Ma Linghua frowned, her eyes instantly turning sharp, and her hand unconsciously gripped the pipe at her waist.

Ma Hehua looked furious. "It's these annoying ghosts again. It's never going to end," she muttered under her breath.

Li Fagui was so frightened that his face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the ghostly figure in the car window. He didn't dare to breathe.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly became extremely tense, as if a new crisis was about to unfold.

"Protect! Fa Gui, just drive the car into them." Ma Linghua's voice was resolute, like an order in the tense atmosphere.

"Yes, Mother!" Li Fagui replied, then slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped off like a wild horse toward the ghostly figure in the car window.

At the same time, Ma Linghua exerted force with her hands, and a pale yellow light emanated from her palm. The light was like a sharp blade, piercing straight forward.

"Ah...ah...ah..." Instantly, countless shrill screams rang out, echoing in the silent night sky, sending chills down one's spine.

"These are all vengeful ghosts. I never imagined there would be so many ghosts right under the emperor's nose." Ma Linghua's expression grew even more serious, her brows furrowed tightly, and her eyes filled with solemnity.

"Mom, look! Someone's setting off fireworks!" Ma Hehua suddenly exclaimed, her eyes wide as she excitedly pointed to the sky outside the car window.

“Those aren’t fireworks, they’re distress flares from the Sanqing Temple.” Ma Linghua glanced at them briefly and said calmly, after all, she had seen these things before and knew very well that they were distress flares.

"What's going on? Mother, should we go and take a look?" Ma Hehua asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with eagerness.

"Are you asking for trouble? Didn't I tell you not to go out? You just ignored me as soon as you turned your back on me," Ma Linghua scolded, her eyes stern.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hehua immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and fell silent, though she muttered to herself: "I was just feeling restless in the car, so I wanted to go out and join in the fun."

"You beast, prepare to die!"

A woman in a bright red cheongsam was chasing another woman, who was none other than Jiang Tao, the blood corpse who had eaten people and was hiding.

"Hmph, what kind of righteous person is he? He can kill someone with a single move. His heart is blacker than the bottom of a pot."

Jiang Tao spoke as she ran, a mocking smile on her face.
