Chapter 36 I Have a Little Secret
Upon hearing this, the souls trapped in the paper balls began to become restless. The two paper balls that were originally jumping above Wang Dashan's head and flashing bright yellow light began to ooze blood.
Seeing this, Qin Qinsen said no more. He came to Wang Dashan, gathered the two paper balls in his hands, and held them in his palms. "Why would you harm yourself for such a person?"
Wang Dashan was just a misguided half-baked cultivator who had stumbled into the sect by accident, and relying on his so-called family traditions and his imagination, he embarked on a path of cultivation that led to murder and robbery.
Counting the paper balls, he saw a large number of victims. Qin Qinsen lost interest in the conversation and gestured for Lu Zhi and the others to step back. He opened the balcony door and let the cool moonlight fall on his shoulders. The night breeze blew, and the paper balls filled with souls ceased their restlessness.
Qin Qinsen waved his hand, and the paper ball wrapped around the soul slowly opened, revealing souls of different shapes but all with confused expressions.
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, right and wrong will be determined by heaven. Now that my life is over, why not return home?"
The voice floated in the wind, sometimes far away, sometimes near, and seemed to have a huge attraction to the soul.
The first to leave along with the night wind were a few pure white souls, followed by grayish white, dark blue... until the remaining souls were all in red clothes and red eyes, full of murderous aura.
"Aren't you leaving?" Qin Qinsen took out a gourd and took the mutilated female ghost that suddenly pounced on him into it. His slender fingers flicked on the gourd, "There's plenty of space. It can hold all of you."
Unexpectedly, the remaining red-clothed ghosts all turned their heads to look at Wang Dashan.
"W-What are you going to do! Let me go, let me go! Please, please ask the gods to possess you and protect me! Please ask the gods to possess you--Ah!"
"They died because of you, and after death, their resentment filled them and turned into evil spirits. I'm sure you've eaten quite a few ghosts. Have you ever tasted an evil spirit? What does it taste like? How does it compare to the evil spirits and wronged souls of those who died suddenly?"
"No, no—cough, cough, cough, puff—"
The three people who barged into the house rashly looked at him indifferently. The evil spirits chewed his flesh, dug out his eyes, chopped off his limbs, and one of them was even pulling his tongue out.
The night wind was still blowing, bringing a chill down on Wang Dashan's heart.
He recalled the doubts he felt when he discovered the secret manual of the technique between the cracks of a village stove, and the excitement he felt after boldly trying it and drawing the Qi into his body. Oh, and the first time he followed the manual's instructions, spending three days and three nights to draw his first talisman, and the fortune-boosting formation he set up with his own hands... all of this proved... proved...
"I am the chosen one! What do you know? I am the one who goes against the will of heaven! I am destined to step on your heads and become the one who is superior to everyone else! You are just stepping stones for me!"
All the living people and evil spirits in the room stared at Wang Dashan in silence.
Qin Qinsen waved his hand to dispel the illusion. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He could only seal Wang Dashan's so-called "cultivation" and turned to Lu Zhi and Fang Qing and said, "Take him away quickly. After getting any useful information, send him to the police station, or a mental hospital."
The two bright yellow ghosts with bloodshot eyes surrounded Qin Qinsen at this moment, without saying a word, just looking at him intently.
"What? Are you still not satisfied?" Not only were these two guys staring at him, but even the evil spirits who originally demanded blood debt be repaid with blood surrounded Qin Qinsen.
The illusion just now was created by the victims' ghosts with Qin Qinsen's tacit consent. It was both frightening and a way to elicit information. Who knew it would reveal a psychopath?
These ghosts sought wealth or fame in their lifetime, all of them desperate with nowhere to go and uncontrollable greed, but they met Wang Dashan, who sold counterfeit goods, and lost their lives.
"The resentment is too deep, and the evil spirit cannot enter the reincarnation directly. Come in, I will send you to Ning'an Temple, listen to more Buddhist teachings, cleanse your soul, and don't be so stubborn in your next life."
Quietly lining up, the evil spirits with different faces entered the gourd one by one. The last one left was the original owner.
"Why, you're not going?" Qin Qinsen raised the gourd and shook it. Listening to the noise inside, he tilted his head and said, "There's still space. It shouldn't be crowded."
His blood-red eyes stared straight at the person who occupied his body, "Who are you?"
It was the first time in several months that I heard a ghost speak normally. Qin Qinsen laughed, "You want to take it back, right? But you're already dead."
"Without you, I'd still be alive."
"'Qin Qinsen', aged twenty-two, was greedy and insatiable, and he lived his life over again, but he refused to repent."
Upon hearing this, 'Special Assistant Qin' went completely crazy, "It's you! I finally got this opportunity, but you stole my chance! It's obviously you who deserves to die!"
As he said that, he flashed in front of Qin Qinsen, and stretched out his ghost claws towards his heart, "Give it back to me, give your body back to me!"
Dodging the attack, Qin Qinsen didn't want to fight him, but he kept talking. "It's a rare opportunity to live again, and you're only thinking about exchanging your life with a rich second-generation kid. Why don't you choose a better target? What's so good about that lousy Luo Nanchen? He even forced me to go to work. Do you know how devastating it is to reach the end and open your eyes only to find yourself back at the starting point?"
Bang!
This time, there were fruit plates and copper basins filled with water scattered all over the floor.
"It's obvious you don't understand. If you were truly successful in your career and financially independent, you wouldn't have the time to bother trying to change your fate. I think you're just like Wang Dashan, your head full of unrealistic fantasies, dreaming of being the best."
Qin Qinsen kept dodging the attacks without stopping for a second, making the other party so angry that his eyes were bleeding and he was filled with resentment.
"I'll tell you a secret." Qin Qinsen paused, dodging the sculpture that flew past him. "I'm a good learner."
Without giving 'Special Assistant Qin' a chance to react, Qin Qinsen stepped on the Mysterious Steps and made hand gestures, "Rise."
A faint light rose from the feet of Qin Special Assistant, trapping him in it and preventing him from moving even a step.
"Wang Dashan may be mentally ill, but his Soul Summoning Curse is truly effective." Qin Qinsen treaded water with his feet, looking down at the Soul Summoning Formation, which was based on the Soul Summoning Curse and modified with the Ghost Scare Technique, with great satisfaction. "Look at you, if you want to fight, just fight properly. You have to overturn the basin of water. Aren't you just making things difficult for yourself?"
Ghosts are inherently yin, and tonight, with a full moon, the yin energy is strong. Coupled with the fact that water connects yin and yang, the water array is extremely effective. From this point forward, the three yins converge, aided by the soul-snatching array, opening the gates to the underworld.
"When you get down there, study hard and reform yourself. You're welcome."
The bronze door slowly opened, revealing a dark figure standing inside. The figure didn't speak or move, but the moment 'Special Assistant Qin' laid eyes on him, alarm bells went off. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't move.
Qin Qinsen said calmly, “Go and pay the price for what you have done.”
"What about you? You robbed someone else's body, what's the price you paid!" His body entered the door uncontrollably. 'Special Assistant Qin' knew there was no hope of escaping. He stretched his neck with blood flowing from his eyes, and asked loudly with a ferocious look on his face.
"Me?" Qin Qinsen sneered, "Wake up! It was you who dragged me here without my consent, you idiot!"
He gave 'Special Assistant Qin' an internationally recognized hand gesture until the Yellow Springs Gate completely disappeared.
