Chapter 1156 The Returnee's Notes 230
"clang--"
The sound of metal clashing startled Huang Lili. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Zhi holding a fruit knife and stabbing it towards Xie Ning's back. Xie Ning just managed to block it with his peach wood sword.
Previously, Xie Ning had commissioned a metal scabbard for her peach wood sword. When the fruit knife scraped against the scabbard, it made an extremely grating sound.
Xie Ning spun his hand, knocking the fruit knife out of the other person's hand. Then he grabbed the other person's hand and spun it to the right. With a sweep of his leg, Xiao Zhi was pinned to the ground with her arms behind her back.
Due to the pain caused by the twisted ligaments in her arm, she had lost the ability to move.
"Are you coming out on your own, or am I forcing you to come out?" Xie Ning stared at Xiao Zhi's turned face, her eyes now completely white.
The spirit of the mirror is also strange; most people who see it will be bewitched by it, even those exorcists who catch ghosts are no exception, at most they will wake up relatively quickly.
But Xie Ning was completely unaffected by it.
Thinking of the pain that had just pierced her soul, the Mirror Spirit hesitated for a moment, but quickly curled her lips into a smile, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill her?"
The "she" in this context refers to Xiaozhi.
Since it has already possessed her, controlling Xiaozhi's body to commit suicide is not a difficult task.
Xie Ning narrowed his eyes, stopped wasting words with the mirror spirit, and directly scattered the ashes of the burning yellow talisman in his other hand. As the ashes fell, three copper coins followed.
The Mirror Spirit's eyes widened instantly. She hadn't expected Xie Ning to act without hesitation or discussion.
Just as Xie Ning's fingers were about to touch Xiao Zhi's brow, the Mirror Spirit suddenly darted away.
"She ran away!"
The red rope that Ouyang Lin had tied on the balcony tightened for a moment, and then the bell on it rang automatically without any wind, making a series of piercing sounds.
Although the Mirror Spirit left, both Qi Leyou and Xiao Zhi, who was being suppressed by Xie Ning, were still struggling, seemingly unable to feel any pain.
Her body was convulsing continuously, just like the two girls who had the accident earlier, which resembled the symptoms of a sudden epileptic seizure.
Ouyang Lin quickly took out her xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument), and her deep, ethereal voice quickly soothed the two of them.
Xie Ning released Xiao Zhi, who had calmed down, and signaled Huang Lili to keep an eye on the people. Then she directly raised her sword and slashed at them.
Even though the Mirror Spirit hasn't directly manifested yet, it hasn't hidden itself inside any object either. So even though Ouyang Lin and the others can't see it, Xie Ning can.
The Mirror Spirit was caught off guard and injured by the peach wood sword. Then, it instantly shifted to another position, its eyes behind its long hair staring straight at Xie Ning.
It wanted to know if it was just a coincidence, or...
Before it could figure it out, a few more beads were thrown onto the bed; these were the ones Xie Ning had just asked Huang Lili for.
The bead exploded, and the Mirror Spirit was injured again.
She wanted to leave, but both the front door and the window blocked her way. She couldn't leave this place at all, and the music from earlier had also affected it.
Just as Xie Ning was about to climb into bed, the mirror spirit suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, every reflective surface in the dormitory was filled with the image of the mirror spirit in white robes and a face covered by a mask.
Now not only Xie Ning, but also Ouyang Lin and Huang Lili saw it.
Huang Lili remembered the bell she heard in the bathroom and shouted, "Concentrate! It has a mesmerizing bell sound!"
However, it was already a little too late when she spoke. Ouyang Lin's music was interrupted, and Xie Ning also felt a moment of disorientation, but she quickly regained her senses.
Shaking his head, Xie Ning put away his peach wood sword, then opened his blue oil-paper umbrella, muttered a spell, and the red rope wrapped around his other hand immediately shot out.
Like a snake, it slithered into a small, retro mirror on the table and pulled out the spirit hidden inside.
Huang Lili subconsciously swallowed. No, they had only not seen each other for a year or two, how could Xie Ning have improved so quickly?!
And this is the Soul Umbrella, right? That's really awesome!
She wants one too! She'll go back and discuss it with her dad to see if she can ask Xie Ning or Xie Ning's grandma for an introduction.
