Chapter 953 The Returnee's Notes 27
After he was tied up, Wang Ze looked at the building next to him and said, "The power is on."
It's already late at night, and the yin energy is strong. If there's no light in the building, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
The two walked in through another door together, and Xie Ning was still on the phone with Wang Heng.
Seeing Xie Ning looking at the compass in his hand with curiosity, Wang Ze chuckled and said, "Isn't it beautiful? This was given to me by my master. It's very accurate. When you're older, Grandma Xie will definitely give you one too."
The lights are on in the building now, so it's not so dark that it's frightening.
From the first floor to the third floor, the compass in Wang Ze's hand finally began to turn slightly. "This is it."
After saying that, Xie Ning called Wang Heng and the others over from the other side.
This was a small storage room, and it wasn't locked. Wang Ze didn't open the door immediately, but instead explained things to Xie Ning while waiting for Wang Heng and the others.
"This ghost should be good, not vicious. The reason it harmed Yu Shuming is probably only because there is a karmic entanglement between the two, which triggered its viciousness."
When facing ordinary people, it tries its best to restrain its magnetic field so as not to affect others; otherwise, it would be more than just performing opera late at night.
If they are evil spirits, they will be more irritable and unfriendly. Some will actively provoke people, while others, not wanting to be discovered, will scare people away in a frightening way.
Regardless, when encountering such an evil spirit, running away is always the best course of action if you're outmatched.
Then Wang Heng and the others arrived.
Perhaps sensing the danger, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through the area, and water began to trickle down the wall. Wang Ze spun the compass in his hand rapidly.
Xie Ning's expression hardened, and she quickly pulled a red candle from her large pocket, lit it, and cast a spell with one hand, one of the soul-stabilizing spells that the old lady had taught her.
As the candlelight flickered and died down, the eerie wind gradually subsided.
The others who were about to intervene glanced at Xie Ning in surprise, then quickly began casting spells, intending to use the spirit-binding rope to trap the vengeful spirit.
But it ran very fast, and since the people couldn't see it, they only felt a cold wind blowing by. Wang Heng checked the location, took the spirit-binding rope, and ran after it.
Wang Ze didn't move. Instead, he squatted down, lit a soul-guiding incense stick, and then had Xie Ning tie the red thread he had given him to block the way in the corridor.
A bell is strung on a red thread, but it doesn't make a sound.
Just a short while after she finished wrapping the candle, Xie Ning felt a chill behind her and heard the tinkling of bells. The red candle she had just used had been stuck into some odds and ends nearby, and the flame had quietly gone out.
The overhead lights suddenly started flickering. Wang Ze knew something was wrong and tried to reach out to grab Xie Ning, but he missed.
"Senior Brother!"
This vengeful spirit is probably not very strong. Perhaps it was angered by what I just did, and it used a feint to target Xie Ning, who is the weakest among them.
If Xie Ning were bold enough and calm enough, the vengeful spirit shouldn't be able to harm her, but she's still just a child!
Wang Ze felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
At this moment, Xie Ning also felt his heart beating very fast, the pounding of his heart exploding in his ears, and time seemed to slow down.
Behind her, the dampness grew stronger, and a chill crept closer. Xie Ning didn't move, but instead gripped the wrist of her other hand tightly with one hand. The old lady hadn't given her anything.
But she still has the most basic things like red rope and spirit-binding rope. Right now, she has three spirit-binding ropes tied around her left wrist.
The peach pit on her neck was slightly hot—no, and the triangular talisman was also very close to her. Strangely, Xie Ning could see Wang Ze opposite her, but Wang Ze seemed unable to see her.
Ignoring everything else, Xie Ning whirled around and swiftly looped the spirit-binding rope around the vengeful spirit's neck. The spirit struggled fiercely, while Xie Ning's heart pounded even harder.
Unlike the other vengeful spirits before, this time she saw the spirit's actual face directly, instead of just a wisp of air.
The pale, swollen face was only a fist's distance from Xie Ning, and water was still dripping from the other person's hair. Xie Ning subconsciously held his breath.
"Xiao Ai..."
Xie Ning didn't hear what the other person was saying. She calmed herself down, formed hand seals and chanted a spell to completely bind him. However, the moment the spell left her mouth, she could clearly feel her strength being drained away, and her whole body became weak.
Fortunately, Wang Heng dispelled the fog in their eyes the next moment, and with a single sword strike, he directly shattered half of the vengeful spirit's form.
While others see the vengeful spirit as an invisible cloud of gas, Xie Ning can clearly see that the spirit's eyes become dull and its struggling strength diminishes.
"Xiao Ai...come home..."
Xie Ning collapsed to the ground, powerless. She never expected that reciting a spell would cause this. The old lady had taught her how to use the spirit-binding rope and some spells, but she had never practiced them.
The old lady said that she hadn't practiced enough, which simply meant that her internal energy was insufficient, so she shouldn't use special spells lightly to avoid putting herself in danger.
The peach pit was for her protection.
Xie Ning was unaware of the specific effects of the peach pit and whether it could ward off vengeful spirits, so he took the risk. Even if it couldn't restrain the vengeful spirits, it could at least buy time and draw Wang Heng's attention to him.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, less than a minute after Wang Heng ran over from the other side.
