At this moment, Huo Yan's lips moved a few more times, and she glared at me. But I couldn't hear a word, and I had no idea what she was trying to say. If I had known earlier, I would have learned lip reading. Damn, maybe it would come in handy now!
After a few seconds, Su Xiaoniu spoke up, "She said: You'd better not meddle in my business. For this day, I endured the habit of eating feces for five years. I must make that person pay a heavy price!"
"That person?" I frowned. Who was this "that person" Huo Yan was talking about? If I found that person, would it be possible to make Huo Yan disappear willingly?
Su Xiaoniu said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You're facing a cocoon ghost and a cat spirit. No matter who it is, if you're not careful, you'll be dead!"
I instantly perked up, and just then, the tailless black cat suddenly pounced on me while I was off guard, hissing and snarling so horribly it nearly gave me a heart attack. I quickly fell off the broken chair and rolled twice on the ground. It hurt like hell.
I had extinguished the central candle, and Su Xiaoniu told me to quickly light this candle, saying it was the main light. If the main light went out, we'd all be finished. I hurriedly took out my lighter and was about to light the candle when the black cat pounced on me again. Damn, as soon as I raised my hand, it grabbed me like a bear hug, wrapped its four legs around my arm, and suddenly bit my wrist.
"Ah!" I screamed in agony, dropping my lighter. Everyone knows how painful a bite from a regular house cat is, right? But now, I was bitten by a cat spirit. The pain was no less than giving birth.
In panic, I shook my arms to get rid of the black cat, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of it. It was as if the black cat had taken root in my arms!
"Use the Golden Light Talisman!" It was Su Xiaoniu who reminded me. I was so unconscious after being bitten by the black cat that I had completely forgotten that I even had the Golden Light Talisman. I immediately took out a Golden Light Talisman and without saying a word, I suddenly stuck it towards the black cat wrapped around my right hand.
As the golden talisman approached the black cat, it suddenly emitted a golden light. The dazzling golden light was like the Buddha's light, which frightened the black cat so much that it rolled and jumped onto the eaves. It meowed twice and dared not attack me anymore.
Not only the black cat, but even Huo Yan, who was watching the show on the side, was frightened by the golden light and fled behind the iron gate on the second floor.
I never imagined the Golden Light Talisman would be so powerful, but before I could even praise it, it suddenly withered and turned into a wrinkled piece of yellow paper. Su Xiaoniu explained that this was the result of the talisman's power fading. The Golden Light Talisman only lasted a few seconds, so I had to seize the opportunity.
I nodded, and while Black Cat and Huo Yan were temporarily scared away by the golden light, I picked up the lighter on the ground and squatted down to light the main lamp.
Su Xiaoniu suddenly shouted, "Get down!"
Without a second thought, I lay down on the ground, almost knocking over the candle next to me. And just as I lay down, a dark shadow flashed behind me, and when I looked again, it had already jumped onto the railing in front of me.
That black shadow was none other than the cat spirit. I didn't expect it to dare sneak attack me after being frightened by the golden light talisman. Damn, do I look so vulnerable to sneak attacks?
A gust of cold wind blew, and the light inside the power plant instantly dimmed. I frowned and looked over. It turned out that the four candles that had been lit in the four corners had all been blown out by Huo Yan.
"Oh no! All five candles are out. The Yang energy is waning, and the Yin energy is strong. If this continues, we'll all die!" Su Xiaoniu's words chilled me to the bone. I panicked and said, "Should we run?"
"Run!" Su Xiaoniu said angrily, "Even if you can run, Zhao Xi and Ning Xue will die. Besides, you may not be able to run away!"
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead: "But asking me to fight two ghosts at the same time, isn't it too difficult for me?"
Su Xiaoniu comforted me, "Calm down first. You still have two golden talismans on you. Don't use them carelessly. Use them when I tell you to. Right now, Huo Yan won't attack you. If the cat spirit attacks you again, fight it head-on with the peach wood sword. Remember, the more aggressive you are, the more afraid it will be. As soon as you have a chance, relight the five candles. These five candles are very important, as you'll see. Fortunately, the two incense sticks in Zhao Xi and Ning Xue's hands haven't been extinguished. Although these two incense sticks are not the most important, they are the key points that complement the five candles."
Following Su Xiaoniu's words, I forced myself to calm down and took a deep breath. On the railing in front of me, the black cat arched its back and growled at me fiercely, ready to attack me at any moment.
I held the peach wood sword tightly in both hands, staring at the black cat's movements while slowly moving my feet towards the candle. When I got close to the candle, I took out the lighter with one hand and squatted down to light the candle.
The black cat seemed to be waiting for me to light the candle before attacking me. As I squatted down, it swooped down from the railing and pounced on me fiercely.
I remembered what Su Xiaoniu said and imagined myself as an unforgivable villain. Seeing the black cat pouncing on me, I suddenly swung the peach wood sword and smashed it hard in the face with a loud shout.
The black cat obviously didn't expect that I would suddenly attack it, and become so ferocious. A hint of horror appeared in its dark green pupils. As soon as the cat's claws touched my peach wood sword, I smashed it to the ground.
With a bang, the black cat rolled twice on the ground, and then whooshed onto the railing.
