Waste paper can be put to good use? I gasped in disbelief and put all the scraps of paper away. Afterward, Su Xiaoniu taught me how to pinch the sword technique, which involves pinching the peach wood sword. Once I've mastered it, I can then practice the sword technique while walking in the Yu Bu style.
I spent the entire afternoon repeating these two actions. At around 3:00 p.m., Su Xiaoniu suddenly said solemnly, "You still have six hours to prepare, or you can regret it within this time."
Regret? I've already made up my mind, how could I possibly regret it? I immediately shook my head and said, "I've already made my choice, I won't regret it."
"So... okay then. Now, I'll clear up your confusion about why Sun Ya's body was found at the cafeteria entrance, and predict some of the things that will happen next." Su Xiaoniu paused mid-sentence before continuing, "After emerging from her cocoon, Huo Yan will control the ghost pupa. The ghost pupa can spread through the air, just like bacteria. Anyone targeted by the ghost pupa will die. This is the premise. Sun Ya was originally hiding in the cafeteria with Zhao Xi, but was later targeted by the ghost pupa. Not only did it make her wander around unconscious like a zombie, it also devoured her scalp and brain marrow. That's why when you found Sun Ya's body, she was lying at the cafeteria entrance, with half her head missing."
My scalp tingled when I heard this. Why were ghost pupae so terrifying? I asked, "Then why weren't there any ghost pupae found on Sun Ya's body?"
Su Xiaoniu said calmly, "You're stupid! After the ghost pupa ate Sun Ya's brain, scalp, and other things, it naturally returned to Huo Yan. Huo Yan is in urgent need of these things now, so the same thing is bound to happen again."
I was startled and asked hurriedly, "You said before that Zhao Xi would be the next one? Could it be that Zhao Xi..."
Su Xiaoniu said listlessly, "That's right. Zhao Xi was with Sun Ya that night, and he was also possessed by a ghost pupa. Ghost pupa are extremely small, about the size of a grain of salt. Even if you can see ghosts, it's extremely difficult to see the existence of ghost pupa."
"Then why was it that only Sun Ya had an accident that night..." I was shocked and scared. What if something happened to Zhao Xi?
"Because Huo Yan can only absorb the weight of one person at a time, she needs to digest it just like you humans," Su Xiaoniu said calmly. "Today, Huo Yan's claws will reach out to Zhao Xi, and tomorrow, it will reach out to another. I think everyone in the company, except you and Ning Xue, has been infected by the ghost pupa. After all, only you and Ning Xue were hiding in the bathroom last night, and the ghost pupa couldn't get close. I can't guarantee that for everyone else."
I was extremely anxious, but Su Xiaoniu calmed me down and said, "Zhao Xi will be fine before nine o'clock this evening. Take these things and go find Zhao Xi. It's best to find an open space where no one will disturb her. I have my own way to exorcise the ghost pupa from her body."
"Why do we need to find an open place? Shouldn't we find a more secluded place to do these things?" I said with curiosity.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoniu said, "When you exorcise the ghost pupa for Zhao Xi, Huo Yan will definitely come over. A secluded place will restrict your hands and feet, and you won't be able to do anything at all. But in an open place, you can do whatever you want, and you can also set up a trap beforehand. The two places are simply incomparable, okay?"
Oh my god, Huo Yan will come over? Is this going to force a fight between me and Huo Yan? But Huo Yan has "evolved" now, transforming from a coprophagist into a cocoon ghost. Even the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Bureau is ineffective against her. How can I be her opponent?
Su Xiaoniu said angrily, "That's why I told you to find an open area and set up a trap beforehand so we can wait for them to tire themselves out. Otherwise, we have no chance of winning."
I'm still terrified. The deaths of Fu Xiang and Sun Ya were all caused by Huo Yan. My fear of Huo Yan is growing stronger and stronger. Just mentioning her makes my scalp tingle. Let alone facing her!
However, I also knew that if I didn't take the initiative and just passively endured the impending disaster, not only would the people around me die, but I would also die.
I mustered my courage and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
I packed my things and put them in the supermarket bag, and everything was ready. Next, Su Xiaoniu asked me to find a more open place. There was no suitable place in the company, so I had to look outside the company.
But I searched for a long time and couldn't find a suitable one. Finally, Su Xiaoniu suggested that I go to the suburbs of Tianhe Road. There is a power plant there that has been abandoned for more than ten years. The space is large enough, and most importantly, almost no one comes there during the day, let alone late at night.
On the outskirts of Tianhe Road, that's where I first met Su Xiaoniu. The atmosphere here feels very familiar to me. But I have a shadow over this place. Isn't this bullshit? I brought this ghost Su Xiaoniu out from here, and now she has tricked me into this state. How can I have a good impression of this place?
However, what has happened cannot be undone.
According to Su Xiaoniu, this is a decades-old power plant. After experiencing several ups and downs, it presents a desolate and depressed scene. Its biggest function now is to be used by photographers and directors as a shooting location for horror movies.
Now I have to use this abandoned power plant to help Zhao Xi exorcise the ghost pupa, and even have to fight Huo Yan, a ferocious female ghost. This is simply going to be a real horror movie! I feel so scared just thinking about it!
This abandoned power plant, located three kilometers north of Tianhe Road upstream, sits quietly beside a river dam. Originally designed to generate electricity for the city's railway, it operated for twenty years before falling electricity prices forced the company to abandon its own generation. With the introduction of new power generation technology, the plant was completely abandoned, leaving it desolate and rusted.
Today, this power plant is used by many directors and photographers as a photography background because of its weird atmosphere and environment. Even some gang initiation ceremonies are held here.
After Su Xiaoniu told me in detail about the background of this abandoned power plant, my spine was already shaking, but this is the path I chose myself, and I will finish it even if I have to kneel down!
I went to the company and called Zhao Xi. At first, she was a little reluctant to go with me. After all, we were alone in the wilderness, and who knew what I would do to her. I came here to help her exorcise the ghost pupa and avoid death, prepared to die. Do you really think I'm a despicable person?
Later, Ning Xue suggested that she come with us and maybe she could help out, so Zhao Xi felt relieved to go with me. Yu Jie and Wu Xin looked sly behind me, as if I was going to do something shameful.
