The three of us took a taxi to the abandoned power plant. After collecting the fare, the taxi driver was so scared that he turned around and ran away. You can imagine how terrible the reputation of this power plant is. Damn Su Xiaoniu, she chose a place like this. Damn it!
There was a railway line right in front of the power plant. I took Zhao Xi and Ning Xue around it and headed straight inside. Ning Xue asked me curiously, "Hasn't this power plant been abandoned for over a decade? Can we really help Zhao Xi exorcise the evil spirit by coming here?"
I didn't mention the "ghost pupa" to them. If I had told them directly that Zhao Xi had a ghost pupa, I'm afraid she would have fainted. So, I just said that Zhao Xi had the evil spirit left by Huo Yan. If the evil spirit wasn't exorcised soon, she would lose her mind at best, or even die at worst.
Zhao Xi's face paled as soon as she heard the name "Huo Yan." If it weren't for the fact that we were alone, she would have gone with me even without Ning Xue. But in the end, she only agreed to come with me because of Ning Xue's company.
In fact, it was my first time to come to such a deserted place with girls, and with two beauties at the same time. It was hard for me not to have some bad thoughts. Then, Su Xiaoniu soon beat me up badly. Not only did I hit my head against the wall, but the walls in the power plant were all made of iron. It was so painful.
Su Xiaoniu warned me, "You're so filthy! I'm telling you, you'd better not have any evil thoughts at this time, otherwise not only will you fail to save Zhao Xi, but you'll also lose your own life!"
I was so scared that I didn't dare to think about anything else. I scratched my head and said to Ning Xue, "Actually, I'm not very sure, but I will do my best!"
"I believe you will do your best. After all, the target is Zhao Xi." Ning Xue smiled meaningfully and then asked, "Do you need any help?"
I hesitated, feeling I didn't need her help right now, so I handed her the supermarket bag containing ritual implements, candles, and incense, asking her to hold it for me. Then, we entered the power plant.
The environment inside was pretty much what I'd imagined: trash and debris littered the floor, the place was in disarray, the walls and stairs were rusty, and even the windows were half-ventilated. It was around six or seven in the evening, and I seriously doubted Su Xiaoniu was innocent. If not, why would she come to a place like this at night?
Su Xiaoniu's answer to me was: "The ghost pupa will only start to move in the human body at night, and it can only be expelled when it starts to move."
I wasn't sure if what she said was true, so I went inside the power plant with some doubt. We cleaned up the mess on the first floor, creating a clean area. Then, Su Xiaoniu asked me to place a candle in each corner and light it. Four candles were placed in each of the four corners of the rectangular power plant. Once lit, the dim light brightened the somewhat dark environment.
Then, another candle was lit in the center. After this, Su Xiaoniu asked me to call Zhao Xi over, who stood beside the candle, holding a lit incense stick. As for Ning Xue, she also held a lit incense stick and a small bowl of water poured from a porcelain bowl, and stood beside me, waiting.
After completing these preparations, Su Xiaoniu asked me to hold the peach wood sword in my right hand, and hold a small stack of discarded yellow paper between the index and middle fingers of my left hand. She also found a long, square, broken chair and asked me to stand on it.
Fortunately, the broken chair was quite sturdy, though it would occasionally creak. After I managed to stand up, I pointed the peach wood sword condescendingly at Zhao Xi, shocking him so much that he almost thought I was going to do something. Actually, I had no idea what to do next.
"It's almost time." At this time, Su Xiaoniu suddenly said, "From now on, you must concentrate and not be distracted. - Light the discarded yellow paper in your hand, and when it is completely burned to ash, throw it into the porcelain bowl of water. Stir it with the tip of the peach wood sword. Then, just touch this bowl of talisman water to your eyes, and you will be able to see the ghost pupa. After that, soak a piece of yellow paper in the talisman water and have Zhao Xi bite it in his mouth. At the same time, step on the magic circle, make sword gestures, and chant the spell. The whole process must be done in one go. Can you do it?"
I was stunned. Making sword gestures and chanting incantations weren't difficult, but asking me to do it on this shabby chair? Are you kidding me? Are you sure you won't let me fall?
Su Xiaoniu said, "Isn't this the only chair we have available? Just make do with it and walk steadily, and you'll be fine."
It's time to test my true skills!
I tried to take two steps on this broken chair, and immediately I heard a creaking sound. Damn it, it looked like it was going to collapse at any moment.
"Can you really help me exorcise the evil spirits?" Zhao Xi looked at me walking back and forth on the chair, looking embarrassed as if I was about to fall down, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
It was obvious I was a novice, so it was no wonder Zhao Xi didn't trust me. Ning Xue, however, stared at me with curiosity, as if I were performing some kind of magic trick.
"Let's start right away!" I comforted Zhao Xi and then took a deep breath.
Next, I concentrated my energy and focused my attention. Following Su Xiaoniu's instructions, I ignited the discarded yellow paper in my left hand. Once it was completely burned to ash, I placed it in the porcelain bowl of water held by Ning Xue and stirred it with the peach wood sword. I could clearly see the ash melting in the water under the stirring of the peach wood sword, and the water remained as pure as before.
I was so surprised that I gasped in amazement, but didn't think too much about it. I poked the water surface twice with my fingertips, then smeared it on my eyelids, opened my eyes and took a look... Oh my god, I almost peed my pants with fright.
Guess what I saw? I saw Zhao Xi and Ning Xue standing in front of me, completely naked. Not completely naked, at least they were still wearing underwear. Zhao Xi was wearing something cute with a bear pattern, while Ning Xue was wearing some lace. I immediately got really antsy and nearly had a nosebleed.
Then Su Xiaoniu slammed me to the ground headfirst, and angrily said, "You stinky rascal, you're hopeless! I just asked you to lightly touch your eyelids with the talisman water. Who told you to do that?"
I was about to cry but couldn't. "Damn! You didn't explain it clearly, so how could I know that this bowl of water could actually see through things?"
"I don't have time to waste time on you right now. I'll explain it briefly again." Su Xiaoniu said with a look of disappointment, "Although this is just a simple talisman water made from discarded yellow paper, the liver-clearing and eye-improving properties of peach wood can occasionally allow you to see through the human body. However, the probability of this happening is very small. It usually just briefly improves your vision and allows you to see the ghost pupa. It won't allow you to have advanced abilities like clairvoyance."
