Chapter 153



"Is the evil spirit in your body about to get out of control again?"

In the silence, Gu Zhisang suddenly spoke and asked with concern.

Perhaps she did not hear clearly the content of the voice, or did not realize the meaning. The pair of dark pupils looking at Yan Cheng were clear and bright, highlighting his tall and thin figure.

Seeing that she looked normal, Yan Cheng's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and he pursed his lips and replied:

"It's been a bit chaotic lately..."

The indescribable feelings were barely contained and not exposed abruptly, which made him feel relieved but also a little disappointed.

He said that he was fine, but Gu Zhisang could see at a glance that the young man's body was at its limit.

"Since it's out of control, why don't you contact me to help you clear it up?" Gu Zhisang frowned and suddenly took two steps forward:

"Sit down first. I will detect the remaining evil spirit in your body."

As soon as they met, she realized something was wrong.

Gu Zhisang extended his spiritual power, immersed it into Yan Cheng's spiritual platform, and explored every inch of his meridians and muscles along the flow of his blood.

It was discovered that Yan Cheng's physical condition had not improved but had worsened after two purifications and treatments.

Wisps of thick black gas were hidden in the Yin Sha, lingering in his body and constantly corroding his body.

Gu Zhisang was too familiar with that evil, violent and gloomy feeling.

Black fog!

This lingering thing actually invaded Yan Cheng's body at some point!

No wonder his health deteriorated so quickly.

Gu Zhisang's expression froze, and he irresistibly grasped the young man's not-so-thin arm with slightly bulging veins. His immense power flowed directly along the wrist he was holding and invaded the other's body.

Her soul power is white with flowing golden threads, which is the power of merit hidden in it, and it can naturally restrain all kinds of evil things.

Compared to the last time he helped Yan Cheng clear out the evil spirits, in less than half a month, Gu Zhisang's soul power became stronger again, and he was able to devour those evil spirits with greater ease.

The stubborn evil spirit that had troubled Yan Cheng for many years was gradually swallowed up by the flowing soul power.

Soon, the gray fog around Yan Cheng became thinner and thinner, and its range began to shrink, until it almost disappeared.

After the evil spirit was swallowed up and absorbed, the thick black mist lingering in the veins became more obvious.

There was a tiny golden glow in Gu Zhisang's pupils. She placed her fingertips on the inside of Yan Cheng's thin and hot wrist and gently exerted force, probing into the soul power in the young man's veins. As if with guidance, she pounced fiercely on the thick fog that penetrated deep into his internal organs.

The collision of the two forces caused Yan Cheng to let out a muffled groan.

The sharp pain, accompanied by a numb discomfort that made the blood vessels tingle, continued to rise as the thick fog gradually dissipated.

It is not extreme pain, and even after the pain and numbness, there will be a sense of extra relaxation, as if some old and stubborn disease has been cleared;

But this process is really hard and a long torture.

Yan Cheng couldn't help but clench his fists, and the winding blood vessels crawled from the pale and slender fingertips to the sleeves of his arms.

"It hurts? Just bear with it." Gu Zhisang glanced at the young man who was still enduring, frowned and asked:

"You haven't felt your body, and possibly your brain, for some time. Is there something wrong?"

Yan Cheng was not slow-witted, and some recent discoveries emerged in his mind.

His lips turned red as he pursed them, and he said slowly:

"It seems... there are some problems."

"My physical condition is deteriorating faster, but it's different from before. Some parts of my skin are inexplicably bruised. They are the kind that come from the muscles, as if my body is gradually festering and dying..."

He smiled bitterly. Although he tried his best to endure the pain while describing it, one could still hear the restraint in his tiny breathing.

From childhood to adulthood, Yan Cheng has been fully prepared to face death at any time, so when he discovered the changes in his body, he was only silent and stiff for a short time, and did not even feel fear or terror.

"Also... I am becoming more and more depressed. Whether I am alone or with others, some bad thoughts always pop up in my mind."

"But I know that these are probably the side effects of the evil spirit entering the body."

Yan Cheng said this with his brows furrowed.

Compared with the physical torture, the mental torture was unbearable for him.

"In fact, they don't consider you as a relative at all. They just don't dare to say it out loud because they are afraid of your fierce identity. You haven't forgotten how Yan Xugui avoided you when you were a child, right?"

'Why don't you pay back the humiliation and torture brought to you by those hypocritical people from Xuanmen? We have the ability to do so. Your body contains a powerful energy that you don't even know about.

If you want revenge, I can teach you how to use it.'

"You like Gu Zhisang, right? She is so high and mighty that she regards you as nothing more than an ant, just like those people in the Xuanmen Sect. Why don't you pull her down from the altar?"

"…"

Those evil thoughts that popped up from time to time were like Yan Cheng's darkest side, luring him into the abyss.

This was especially true when she was talking to her parents and younger brother. She even had all kinds of unspeakable thoughts about Gu Zhisang...

Yan Cheng couldn't get rid of it, but he also didn't fall into it.

He knew clearly that it was not him.

It is a kind of inner demon, the result of unrestrained desire leading to destruction.

If you really indulge in those desires, you will gradually lose your morals and bottom line as a human being.

Gu Zhisang snorted: "Pretty smart."

Knowing it is a trap and not falling for it, being able to soberly endure the pain and maintain the bottom line of being a good person——

There are very few people who can do this.

Most human beings choose to indulge in desires the moment they arise, not to mention that the "black fog" can infinitely magnify the black holes and bad qualities in people's hearts.

That's right, it's the 'black fog'.

It invaded Yan Cheng unknowingly.

The bruises on Yan Cheng's body and the endless demonic sounds in his mind were all the aftereffects of this thing corroding ordinary people.

Gu Zhisang put himself into the mindset of the "Black Mist". From its perspective, Yan Cheng was just an ordinary human being, a poor man who had been tortured by evil spirits entering his body for years, bullied by the Xuanmen, and had little family love and care.

Yan Cheng lives alone and is withdrawn, and it is obvious that he has psychological problems.

For such a person, you only need to add fuel to the fire to arouse the "evil" in his heart and make him fall deeply into distortion.

But Black Mist could never have imagined that although Yan Cheng was tortured, his willpower was incredibly strong;

He has deep wounds in his heart, but his bottom line is ridiculously high.

Lacking family affection, Yan Cheng quietly stayed away from the Yan family so as not to make his relatives feel uncomfortable.

The Xuanmen have been holding him for so many years, and he despises the behavior of some Xuan masters, but he can understand the concerns and fears of most people.

He doesn't care about other people's fear, and he doesn't have the desire to possess the person he likes...

All in all, this is a 'good guy' who is speechless in every aspect.

An impeccably good man.

Obviously, the erosion and brainwashing of him by the 'black fog' failed, and it only left many corrosive wounds on his ordinary body.

In addition to being surprised at Yan Cheng's strong mind, Gu Zhisang became more alert and suspicious.

She had a vague feeling:

The black fog came to Yan Cheng because it was targeting him.

For a long time, the "black fog" would avoid himself and hide among the crowd, stirring up the desires in the hearts of ordinary people and causing cholera, and it had never confronted himself directly.

But now it attacked Yan Cheng who was beside it.

Why would this thing invade Yan Cheng even though it knew it would have another encounter with Yan Cheng and even though it might fail?

If it succeeds, what is the purpose of lurking around me?

Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Whatever the reason, from the moment the other party gave up the foolproof option of "gambling", her chances of winning increased.

Something must have happened that made Black Mist unable to sit still.

It could no longer plot and strategize, and began to rush to "attack" itself...

At this time, it is no longer important to find the cause, but to strike it while it is sick, and it would be best to eradicate it completely!

The thoughts in his mind gradually became clearer, and Gu Zhisang put down the hand on Yan Cheng's wrist:

"Okay, how do you feel now?"

The pain and numbness became less and less, and Yan Cheng felt relaxed all over: "I feel good, the evil spirit is gone."

Gu Zhisang nodded: "That's good. Actually, I came here suddenly this time because I wanted to ask you about the design of the program that you mentioned last time to integrate into the array programming.

I have encountered a few problematic prisoners here. There must be a sorcerer behind them. However, their communication is all on the Internet, and all the information has been covered up by the ghost who is good at hiding his tracks on the Internet. It is difficult to detect, so I thought of asking you. "

After being interrogated by the spiritual team and the police, Sun Yue confessed the "master" who was behind her planning.

At the same time, she confessed that with the help of the master, the internet celebrity Xiao Wu's mobile phone and other electronic devices hid the call records between him and herself before he jumped off the building, which made the police find nothing during the investigation.

I just checked the account Sun Yue mentioned, and it was another empty account.

Gu Zhisang was basically certain that it was He Zhaosheng who had turned into a ghost who was behind the plot, but the illusory things on the Internet greatly limited her ability.

"Sorry..." Yan Cheng said apologetically, "The program and system have been developed, but they still need to be tested for large-scale operation, otherwise it will be easy to get stuck with bugs."

"If it's just a single device running, there shouldn't be a problem."

Gu Zhisang said: "It's already very good. For now, it will only work on individual problematic devices."

"You spent a lot of time, effort and money to help me develop the app. I should be grateful to you. Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Zhisang, who expressed his sincere gratitude, keenly captured the slight inferiority complex hidden beneath Yan Cheng's strength and calmness.

Or timid and hesitant.

A faint ripple appeared in her heart.

Gu Zhisang knew that he lacked empathy for emotions, but his heart was not as hard as stone.

Yan Cheng’s love was too passionate, and there was too strong an emotion in his eyes when he looked at her.

His ears were flushed red, he was at a loss when he was stared at, and he subconsciously dodged, and he silently did everything for himself...

He wanted to hide it, but he couldn't.

Fu Qing'an noticed it. How could she, who was so perceptive, not feel anything?

But Gu Zhisang still had doubts.

She gained some friendships in the real world and gradually understood the meaning of bonds and family affection, but she was confused about the love between people.

This emotion is too complex, too changeable, and sometimes blind;

It comes irregularly and is easily consumed, which is difficult for Gu Zhisang, who has always been trying to explore and collect patterns, to understand.

She was observing Yan Cheng and also observing herself.

She was sure that she had no love at the moment and was far from being able to respond to such feelings, but strangely, she did not dislike this strong emotion.

I don't hate Yan Cheng either.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Zhisang tilted his head slightly and asked directly:

"Yan Cheng, you are the new owner of that rubbish company 'Cheng En Entertainment', right? My assistant sent me a new contract with a very good profit margin two days ago. According to the above terms, the company spared no effort to promote me, but still didn't make any money..." After a pause, she said helplessly:

"I can't think of anyone else like you as this boss."

"It's me. I bought Cheng En Entertainment." After a brief pause, Yan Cheng admitted it directly.

As if he was afraid that Gu Zhisang might misunderstand him, he hurriedly explained:

"I don't have any other intentions. I just asked Assistant Zhou to show you the contract. It's up to you whether you are willing to sign it or leave Cheng En Entertainment."

He never announced the purchase of Cheng En Entertainment, and even his close associates in the group didn't know about it.

He never expected that Gu Zhisang would guess it directly about him.

Yan Cheng had investigated Cheng En Entertainment and knew how rotten the internal situation of this agency was.

With corrupt leaders above her and agents who bully and play tricks on artists below her, the reason why Gu Zhisang was so attacked online in the past two years is probably because this damn company ignored her life or death, squeezed her traffic, and used all kinds of disgusting means to push 'Gu Zhisang' into the abyss.

Nowadays Gu Zhisang is famous.

He is extremely popular and no one in the circle can compare to him.

And her contract with 'Sung Eun Entertainment' is about to expire.

Yan Cheng knew that Cheng En Entertainment would definitely not let her leave. He knew without even thinking about it how disgusting the methods those bastards would use. Begging for mercy was the least of their efforts, and intimidation and inducement were the real deal.

Once they have tried all sorts of tricks and have no other options left, they will get angry and throw mud, wishing to destroy the uncontrollable artist.

He also knew that those methods posed no threat to Gu Zhisang at the moment.

But when he thought that Gu Zhisang would be troubled by these bad people and bad things, Yan Cheng felt unhappy.

So, for the first time since he entered the industry, he "bullied others with his power" and, in the name of Yan Shi, forced the boss of "Cheng En Entertainment" to sell the company to him at a skinny price, and then he re-drafted a contract.

Whether Gu Zhisang signed or not was not something he considered.

Continue to sign, he will fulfill his duties as a boss and get the best resources, even if Gu Zhisang does not need them.

If he didn't sign, he just wanted to protect Gu Zhisang from being disturbed by these people.

It's just that the contract was modified too outrageously and too conscientiously for his own selfish reasons, and it seems unreal in any way.

Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you trying to help me?"

“Yes, but not entirely.”

Yan Cheng wrote it seriously, his tone steady: "Sangsang, you have saved me many times. If it weren't for you, I might have been eliminated by several elders of Xuanmen when the evil spirit got out of control for the first time. If I can help you for a little money, it is the only way for me to thank you for your kindness."

“Besides, I’m a businessman.

Businessmen pursue profits, and the entertainment industry is an industry with huge profits. If I invest in you who have become a top artist, I will definitely make money. "

Gu Zhisang stared at him for a long time, then looked away, not knowing whether he believed what he said or not.

Glancing at the dim sky outside the window, she stretched her muscles lazily, letting the sleeves of her soft white sweater fall down, revealing a slender arm as white as jade:

"It's getting late. It's time to go."

Yan Cheng's gaze paused and rested on her forearm.

Only then did he realize that Gu Zhisang was wearing a furry milky white sweater, looking unusually casual and lazy.

"Come with me to City X and find out what's in the criminal's cell phone. The case should be solved." Gu Zhisang said.

Yan Cheng nodded: "Okay."

"That's right." Gu Zhisang thought of something and looked at Yan Cheng: "The evil spirit that invaded your body before was a bit special. You can understand it as my enemy poisoned you in order to ambush me and use you to deal with me."

"So, to be precise, the suffering you suffered before was caused by me."

Yan Cheng suddenly looked up: "Someone wants to harm you? Do you need my help?"

Gu Zhisang:?

Meeting the young man's nervous gaze, she couldn't help laughing.

"That's not necessary... Pay attention to your physical and mental condition. If you have any other sequelae, come to me immediately." Gu Zhisang said:

"If that thing attacks again, you can contact me directly."

Thinking about the elusive "Black Mist" and its frequent vicious schemes, this invasion of Yancheng failed, but who knows what crooked ideas it will come up with next time.

Moreover, Yan Cheng had a special physique, and the existence of the Yin Sha 'container' itself had a certain risk of getting out of control;

She also doubted Yan Cheng's identity, or rather his identity hidden beneath the surface, which even he himself did not know, and which contained deeper secrets.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Zhisang said hesitantly:

"If it doesn't work, will you come with me after you finish the work?

My apartment is quite big and has a guest room, which is more than enough to accommodate one person. It will also be convenient to remove the evil spirits regularly in the future."

She had a hunch that although "Spiritual Stories" had ended, there would be more and more supernatural events in the future.

The world was going to be in chaos, and she couldn't stop.

Once she is arranged by the Spirit Team to travel around the country to solve those strange problems, she may not have the energy and time to pay attention to Yan Cheng.

After thinking for a while, she shook her head again: "Forget it, I was just kidding. If you have any questions, please contact me..."

Yan Cheng is the boss of a group after all.

Top 10 in the world;

The richest man.

The villa halfway up the mountain is several hundred square meters, and there is a special person to take care of his miscellaneous matters.

It's not appropriate for such a person to share an apartment with her and have to stay in the guest room.

"I can."

Yan Cheng spoke with a firm tone.

He slowly looked away and said calmly:

“Now my house is not safe at all. The elders of Xuanmen wanted to break in and take me away, so they came in;

If an unknown person wants to murder me, they can do it without me even noticing. It’s really scary when you think about it.”

Gu Zhisang: ...

Ten minutes later, Yan Cheng packed up some important documents and went downstairs.

The ends of his washed hair were slightly soft, which made his deep and somewhat dazzling facial features look gentler.

When he approached and reached next to him, Gu Zhisang seemed to look at him seriously for the first time and realized that he was so tall and had broad shoulders.

Yan Cheng lowered his eyebrows slightly, showing a little obedience:

"Sorry for bothering you, Sangsang."

Like a silent large dog that just stares at people with its eyes open without blinking.

Being looked at in such a manner, Gu Zhisang couldn't go back on his word.

It seemed that the next second after she rejected him, the relatively calm aura around the other person would suddenly become low and silent.

"Let's go to City X first."

She raised her arm, and an ink-glazed ghost door slowly emerged, gradually engulfing the tall and short figures.

——

10 p.m.

The x city spiritual group branch is brightly lit.

Originally, only six to eight people were needed to be on duty to guard the prisoner Sun Yue who was transported tonight and ensure the safety of the three young girls who came to the spiritual group. However, when they heard that the legendary general instructor Gu Zhisang would come tonight, the members of the entire branch were reluctant to leave work.

People who had already finished work drove back from home.

After waiting for a while, someone felt sleepy and yawned.

Just as he was about to say something, a strong ghostly aura suddenly filled and lingered in the hall. The aura was so strong that all team members woke up instantly and became extremely alert.

"who?!"

"Something broke in!"

You should know that there are high-level talismans and formations inside and outside the spirit group, and ordinary ghosts and evil spirits cannot get close at all.

How terrifying must this evil spirit be to have such a strong ghost aura and to have entered so silently? !

However, when the rolling gray fog was pushed aside, revealing a huge carved door that could not be ignored, all the team members who were on high alert were stunned.

In sight, two figures stepped out from the ghost fog.

A young man and woman dressed in black and white, their faces gradually became clear, their extraordinary looks making them seem more like non-living people.

On one side is extremely cool and beautiful, with phoenix eyes and a beautiful nose;

The man who was slightly behind was tall, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and at first glance, he had an unfathomable sinister look on him.

"Gu, Coach Gu?!"

"Is it Coach Gu? Damn, that thing behind her is the legendary ghost gate, right?!"

The hall, which was originally filled with tense atmosphere, was now filled with sounds of surprise and excitement.

For a while, there was a lot of noise among the team members, some introducing themselves to express their admiration, some wanting to touch the ghost door or stick their heads in to take a look, and some curious about the relationship between Yan Cheng's identity and Gu Jian.

When the noise died down, the team member who was dispatched to help Officer Zhao catch people at night said excitedly:

"Coach Gu, you are here. We have already arranged the detentions as per your instructions. Do you want to interrogate Sun Yue?"

Gu Zhisang shook his head and said:

"No need. Where is her phone?"

"Here." The team member handed her an evidence bag containing a mobile phone.

Gu Zhisang pointed at Yan Cheng, but did not reveal his identity:

"This guy knows more about electronic products than I do. I invited him as an external aid. It depends on him whether he can crack the tricks used to cover up the evidence."

"Take me to see Yuan Yunfang and the others."

After a pause, she said in a serious tone, "By the way, prepare a few storage bags engraved with Sanskrit symbols and the highest security isolation room. I want to take out the contents of their stomachs."

"Remember to activate the confinement formation. If those things escape, the threat will be extremely great."

The team member nodded solemnly: "I understand, Coach Gu. I will arrange it now."

In addition to Sun Yue's mobile phone, the Spirit Group Headquarters also sent several devices with abnormal contents that had been seized before, such as Guan Qihong's computer, to Gu Zhisang for her to study.

This time she brought them all and gave them to Yan Cheng who stayed in the office, asking him to tinker with them together with Sun Yue's cell phone.

As for Gu Zhisang, he first went into the lounge and met with the three anxious girls to calm them down.

"I will take out the ghost fetuses for you one by one later. No matter what you see or hear, don't panic, otherwise you will only hurt yourself. Can you do it?"

Yuan Yunfang and the other two were already getting nervous, but they kept nodding.

After the team members had arranged everything, Gu Zhisang asked them to follow him into the isolation room one by one.

Let's start with Yuan Fanfang, who has the shortest time and whose baby is the most vulnerable.

Next up is Xiao He.

The things in their stomachs had just taken shape and were still dormant. They gradually woke up when Gu Zhisang used the power of his condensed souls to pull them out of their bodies bit by bit.

The black and purple human-shaped fetus, which was less than the size of a palm, opened its dark eyes. Every limb and facial feature was almost the same as a miniature version of a human, but its temper was terrible.

When he was firmly grasped by Gu Zhisang's soul power, he still gritted his teeth and tried to struggle and attack.

Seeing such a horrific thing being pulled out of their stomachs with their own eyes, Yuan Yunfang and Xiao He were so scared that they almost fainted.

The two of them kept Gu Zhisang's instructions in mind and covered their mouths tightly when they were frightened and dared not scream.

In the end, the two incompletely developed ghost fetuses were stuffed into the storage bag and could not get out no matter what they did.

However, when they arrived at Xiaogao, something unexpected happened.

The fetus in Xiao Gao's belly has been formed for more than three months and is basically mature, just waiting to wake up.

As soon as Gu Zhisang's soul power penetrated into its abdomen and touched it, it began to squirm and struggle wildly.

Looking at her slightly protruding belly bulging constantly, she even felt a dull pain as if her skin, flesh and organs were being stretched, as if something in her stomach was going to tear through her belly and come out in the next second. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and cried out.

In fact, if Gu Zhisang's soul had not tightly wrapped around the ghost fetus, preventing it from coming into contact with Xiao Gao's flesh and blood, Xiao Gao would have been ripped open the moment it started to run around.

As if it realized that it was being suppressed, the ghost fetus that had awakened in Xiao Gao's belly let out a series of sharp and piercing hisses, which made people's scalps numb.

Gu Zhisang tightened his fingers, and a black and purple head the size of a ping-pong ball was squeezed out from Xiao Gao's flesh.

There was already some cloudy white in the ghost fetus's dark eye sockets, a mouth full of fine and sharp steel teeth, and a shrill scream squeezed out of its throat.

Facing Xiao Gao's face that was looking down, full of tears, sweat and fear, the black and purple ghost child grinned, suddenly pulled out its body, and pounced on Xiao Gao's face...

The author has something to say:

The crazy internship was temporarily stopped due to "reasons known to everyone". We were forced to live in the dormitory and were like drowned dogs. We packed our bags and were expelled back to school and locked up (forced smile). This internship was the worst experience. Fortunately, it is over for the time being...

I will be free before resuming my internship. I will update 7k today and add more starting from tomorrow's update.
