Chapter 1255 The Returnee's Notes 329
Wang Ze glanced worriedly towards the courtyard. He regretted his decision; he shouldn't have agreed to let Xie Ning go in alone.
Although he doesn't seem to be able to stop Xie Ning, what if he does?
At this moment, Wang Ze wanted to rush into the courtyard, but he was also afraid that his rash actions would disrupt Xie Ning's plans.
They were just going into the mountains to catch a female ghost, so how did they get into this mess?
It was very quiet around. There had been sounds of sawing wood and hammering things before, but now there was only a gentle breeze stirring up fallen leaves, as if welcoming the raindrops that were about to fall.
As the temperature dropped, Wang Ze shivered. After thinking it over, he picked up his bundle and began setting up an array around the courtyard.
If there really is something big inside, this array can hold out for a while, and then he'll take Xie Ning and run away.
Hopefully, the trapping formation outside will have been broken by then, otherwise they will have really rushed into the fog.
One could easily slip and fall, since the directions and scenery inside the trap are all a mix of reality and illusion, and only this small courtyard and its surrounding area remain unaffected.
Xie Ning said her taxi was on its way, but they couldn't just sit and wait to die...
While setting up the formation, Wang Ze suddenly noticed a mirror pasted against the courtyard wall, with transparent glass shards embedded around the small mirror, and light refracting through the glass creating a slight halo.
Wang Ze squatted down with a flashlight, his gaze falling on the mirror, but he did not see his own reflection.
This mirror was completely black, absorbing all the light.
Despite the cold wind, beads of sweat appeared on Wang Ze's forehead.
There's a saying that goes, "You only realize how little you know when you need it." He didn't think much of it before, but now that he's in this predicament, if only he had learned a few more of his master's skills in breaking formations, he wouldn't be helpless.
"Boom—"
A thunderclap startled Wang Ze, but it diverted his attention. He couldn't understand the mirror, so he had no choice but to obediently set up the formations he knew.
After Wang Ze turned and went to the next place, the mirror began to wriggle. The original black color slowly faded, revealing a red eye that was curiously looking around.
Thunder rumbled in the clouds, but not a single raindrop fell. As the first clap of thunder sounded, Xie Ning led Black Egg into the basement.
There were three people who chased her and Wang Ze with hunting dogs before, but now that she's entered the courtyard, there are six people who have been knocked unconscious.
Xie Ning initially guessed that there was someone guarding the basement, and this guess was correct. However, the guard was not an adult as she thought, but a child of six or seven years old.
"A kitten?" The child was sitting on the ground, holding another kitten in his hand, a kitten that was on the verge of death.
The kitten also saw the black egg, opened its mouth, but only let out a small whimper; it had no strength left.
"They're so stupid, how could they let the kitten run around like that? They'll run out of bones later."
Upon hearing this, Xie Ning recalled the cat bone she had seen through the drone. She knew that many people used cat bones to cast spells or perform rituals, and most of them were not for good purposes.
"Ding—" As soon as the child finished speaking, a small knife was thrown at the black egg. However, the black egg was very agile. The knife was thrown quickly, and the black egg dodged quickly as well, so it was not hurt.
"As expected of a black cat, it's fun."
The child's mouth was wide open, and his smile was extremely strange, rather eerie.
Xie Ning, hiding around the corner, sensed that the child was acting strangely. Seeing him drop another kitten and run towards Black Egg, Xie Ning stopped hiding and instead controlled the little wooden figure to throw it over.
With the other hand, a hand seal is formed to initiate the movement.
But before the little wooden figure could even touch the child, two of its threads were cut.
"I noticed you a long time ago."
The childish voice rang in her ears, and Xie Ning instinctively squatted down. In that instant, the blade barely grazed her neck.
Turning around to look at the source of the sound, I saw that the child was actually clinging to the wall.
"Everyone outside is an idiot."
The child landed and snorted, staring wide-eyed at Xie Ning. Its gaze lingered on Xie Ning's right eye for a moment before turning to the black cat, as if the child had discovered something very interesting.
"You're fun too."
