The phone kept ringing. Director Mao was drenched in cold sweat, his heart filled with fear. He was panting heavily as he looked at his phone, feeling a strong, pungent stench in the room that made him dizzy.
When Director Mao turned around, he felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe! His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.
The corpse, which had been dead for an unknown amount of time, had now risen from the floor and was staggering towards him. Just imagine, a corpse that had been dead for who knows how long was stuck to the floor, and now he was rising from the floor, with a rotten human skin still on the floor!
With no skin left, the skin on its front was all stuck to the floor, leaving only a rotting corpse that was so badly decayed that only bones were visible. It slowly approached Director Mao, who had already been scared to death...
The corpse of Director Mao was now being held in the arms of this strange corpse, who was sitting on the sofa. The corpse stretched out its hands and easily tore off Director Mao's head. Then, with a gentle press, Director Mao's terrified head was crushed into a meat patty about an inch thick by the strange corpse's hands. The strange corpse then held the meat patty of Director Mao's head and began to eat it with relish...
"You can state your demands directly, or send a few representatives to negotiate with us. Doing things like this is likely to give us a different perspective. Do you understand? You can't go any further. If you take another step forward, we will consider you traitors and shoot you on the spot!" The deputy director shouted hoarsely into the densely packed crowd in front of him through a megaphone.
But these people didn't listen at all and continued to walk forward step by step until they stopped eight or nine meters away from the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, where they confronted the fully armed police officers on the other side!
“We can disperse, but these two people must be handed over to us,” a tattooed girl suddenly said, pointing to two members of the special operations team at the police station entrance.
"Can't we talk this over? First, dismiss the people behind you, or we'll arrest you all!" the deputy director said.
"Hehe, I'm so scared, boss. How about we make a deal? We'll exchange the lives of everyone in Langcheng for these two people. What do you think?" The tattooed girl said to the deputy director, looking terrified.
"Why the two of them? What did they do to offend you?" the deputy director asked, looking puzzled.
“Those two appeared out of nowhere and killed so many of our kind. So we have to kill them to avenge our kind. If you don’t agree, I’ll kill everyone in Langcheng who can breathe. You’ll get a great deal by exchanging two people for the lives of an entire city, leader,” the tattooed girl said.
"You are the same kind?" The deputy director was even more confused, not knowing what was going on, completely baffled.
"Hehe, judging from your expression, boss, you don't know the situation yet, do you? I can tell you a little secret: Langcheng is about to be occupied by us. From now on, this place will be a forbidden land for you humans. No matter how many come, they will all die!" The tattooed girl looked at the deputy director with a sinister smile. A worm the length of a chopstick crawled out of the tattooed girl's mouth and then crawled into her ear!
The deputy director witnessed a horrifying scene, so frightened he almost fell to the ground. He then calmed himself down, forced himself to remain composed, and stood back in front.
"I really can't make this decision myself. These two people aren't under my jurisdiction. I need to consult with my superiors first," the deputy director said, his face covered in cold sweat.
"Okay, I'll wait for you," the tattooed girl said, then retreated into the crowd...
"How's it going? Have you found any information on this girl?" another deputy director asked from behind.
"We found it. This girl's information is very clean. She has no criminal record or bad history. She just likes to go to bars and nightclubs!"
The hyena was now hanging in mid-air by a rope without any support. It didn't struggle or cry for help, but just stared coldly at Lixia below, as if it wasn't itself hanging there.
"What's going on with you? Are you performing a suicide attempt in front of me?" Li Xia was puzzled by the hyena's behavior.
“No, he was hung up by your mother. Your mother was behind you the whole time,” Ru Huan said as she came out of another room, looking at the old woman hanging in mid-air.
Upon hearing Ru Huan's voice, the old woman turned her head and stared intently at Ru Huan, then floated towards her!
His face was a deep purple, his eyeballs were about to burst out of their sockets from being strangled, and a dark red tongue was waving around on his chest. If a normal person saw such a hideous and terrifying appearance, they might go crazy even if they weren't scared to death.
However, Ru Huan just coldly watched the approaching hanged ghost without any fear. When Li Xia's mother's ghost floated above her, Li Xia's mother suddenly seemed to encounter something terrifying and was so frightened that she ran away somewhere...
The hyena also crashed heavily onto the bucket from mid-air, and the rope around its neck was gone.
The hyena slowly got up from the ground, then looked at Lixia, who was still kneeling on the ground. When they were in the dense forest, Lixia had taught the hyena how to burn its own kind to death, so Lixia could not be allowed to live!
Countless insects swarmed toward Lixia. Just then, the hyena standing under the eaves was suddenly struck on the head by a piece of green tile that fell from the roof. Some of the sharp edges pierced deep into the hyena's head. A squeaking scream was heard from inside the hyena's head. The piece of green tile pierced through the hyena's skull and then stuck into the insect inside its head!
The swarming insects, which had been moving like a tide, suddenly stopped and began to rush into the hyena's body. Their king was injured, and these insects were trying to rescue him. Now the hyena was completely covered by a dense mass of insects, looking terrifying.
"Strike while the iron is hot!" Upon seeing this, Li Xia stood up abruptly. Before the hyena could recover, she grabbed the oil jug that was used to add oil to her mother's soul-guiding lamp, unscrewed the cap, rushed over, and poured the entire jug of oil over the hyena. Then, she grabbed a piece of paper money and scattered it on the hyena.
Countless insects were stuck in the vegetable oil and couldn't move, but they were still struggling to wriggle. With the help of the vegetable oil, the paper money stuck to the hyena. Li Xia lit a candle and went to the hyena's side. Just as she was about to light it, she suddenly felt something trip her foot. She stumbled and dropped the candle into the ground, scaring the dense insects away!
"What's going on? Did that mysterious person not die after taking my punch?" Then, seeing that Hyena and Lixia were starting to have bad luck again, the piece of green tile had fallen on Hyena's head without warning and without any error. This time, Lixia was also starting to have bad luck.
Just as Lixia fell to the ground, a flowerpot that had been placed properly on the second floor suddenly fell down without warning!
With a loud "bang," the flowerpot smashed open next to Lixia's ear. Lixia's ear was hit by the flowerpot, and if she hadn't reacted quickly enough to turn her head to the side, she might have already had her head cracked open by the flowerpot.
Lixia quickly got up, still preparing to light the hyena! Lixia took another candle, lit it, and to avoid any further accidents, threw the candle directly at the hyena...
"Hmm," Shangguan Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the number in her contacts slowly become clearer.
I've figured out the pattern of this mysterious phone number. If it's displayed on my phone as clearly as a regular number, it means the person on the other end is in very good condition. If it fades or disappears altogether, it means my invisible guardian has suffered an irreparable wound.
The mysterious phone number on her phone had been missing for almost half a month, but it was slowly returning. Shangguan Qiangwei finally felt relieved. It seemed that her guardian was not invincible and could be killed or maimed by other experts. She should try not to use him in the future. He was her only remaining family member. If he died, she would be all alone in the world!
Just as Shangguan Qiangwei was sitting on the sofa, hugging a cushion and lost in thought, countless insects swarmed into her villa from outside...
The hyena, completely covered in insects, stood motionless. The candle that Lixia threw out had gone out in flight and hadn't even lit the paper money on the hyena's body. Now, the paper money on the hyena's body was soaked in vegetable oil.
"Do you want to die?!" Just as Li Xia was about to light the paper money on the hyena's body again, a voice suddenly came out from the hyena's mouth, which was covered with insects.
“I knew a small piece of tile wouldn’t kill you,” Li Xia said, holding a bamboo pole with a lit candle tied to it.
"Lixia, we have no grudge against each other, why do you want to kill me?" Countless insects fell from the hyena's body, and the hyena's body reappeared.
"No grudges or hatred? How dare you say that? If you hadn't wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have had the car accident, I wouldn't have gone into the dense forest, and none of this would have happened. Are you here now because your older sister sent you to hunt me down again? You think I'm stupid to tell me I have no grudges or hatred with you?" After Li Xia finished speaking, she reached out with the bamboo pole in her hand and lit the paper money on the hyena's body!
"I didn't come here to hunt you down. I want the lady who's with you to help me get this worm out of my head," the hyena said, patting the flames off its body as it explained its purpose for coming to them.
"It seems Ru Huan didn't agree to your request, did she?" Li Xia said, looking at the hyena.
"As long as you help me get the worm out of my head, I'll do anything you ask!" the hyena said, looking at Ru Huan not far away.
"You? I'm afraid that if we save you, you'll turn around and bite us back. Then we won't even have anyone to cry to." Li Xia didn't believe this hyena at all.
"I can save you, but you must become my spirit slave. I can guarantee your immortality. As long as I don't want you to die, no one can make you die. You will always be the same as you are now, and you will never die. Are you willing?" Ru Huan asked the hyena.
"Such a good thing! If I, the hyena, hesitate for even a second, it would be disrespectful to you. I promise you, I am willing to be your spirit slave," the hyena said hastily, overwhelmed with joy. And to be forever young, he felt like he had hit the jackpot.
"Come here, swallow this. If you swallow this, and if you are even slightly disloyal to me or have even the slightest thought of disloyalty, you will die instantly. As for you, you will remain you. I don't want a puppet whose every move I have to arrange!" After saying this, Ru Huan took out a blood-red object, no bigger than a fingernail and resembling a pebble, from her cloth pocket and handed it to the hyena.
The hyena rushed over and, without saying a word, took the object and swallowed it whole.
The hyena felt as if it had swallowed a burning ember, the heat spreading from its throat all the way to its stomach. Its whole body began to feel hot, and the worms inside its body began to frantically crawl out, falling to the floor, wriggling and twisting, before all of them went still.
The hyena's skin slowly changed from a pale white, which had been eroded by insects, to a fiery red, as if its body was on fire, making its skin glow bright red!
It was incredibly painful, but I gritted my teeth and endured it. My entire body, including my internal organs, meridians, and even the deepest parts of my bones, were burning. I got a free trial of what it was like to be in a crematorium, but the flames were more than ten times hotter than those in a crematorium!
The hyena felt its bones and internal organs being melted by the flames, turning into scalding liquid boiling inside its body. It had to persevere! As long as it held on, its better days were ahead.
Another hour passed, and the hyena felt its bones reshaping, and its internal organs slowly recovering in the scalding liquid. Hang in there! You can do it, hyena!
Two hours later, the hyena's body, which had been as red-hot as a branding iron, slowly returned to its normal color. Its yellow fur had been burned off completely, and all its clothes had been burned away. Now it stood naked at Li Xia's door.
The dense, layered worms had all been either killed or fled by the heat emanating from the hyena. The worm inside the hyena's head had been burned to ashes. His crisis was finally over, and they had all disappeared.
"Go find some clothes to wear, and wash yourself clean while you're at it," Ru Huan said calmly, glancing at the naked hyena.
"Yes, Master!" After saying that, the hyena went straight to Li Xia's house, took out the clothes that Li Manzi hadn't worn yet, and went to the bathroom to take a bath...
"What about me? I can be your spirit slave too," Li Xia said, looking at the hyena's current state and its immortality. She wanted it too and looked at Ru Huan longingly.
"Are you sure? This isn't something you can do on a whim or in a moment of impulse. Once you sign a spirit contract, you can never change it for the rest of your life." Ru Huan looked at Li Xia with some curiosity. Why do these people like being spirit slaves so much? Do they like living under someone else's roof?
If you don't know how to hold onto such a powerful figure, then you're really too stupid. Li Xia nodded without hesitation.
“Alright, swallow this, and you’ll be my spirit slave from now on,” Ru Huan said, looking at Li Xia with complicated eyes. Then she handed him a blue, pebble-like object, similar to a hyena’s, but just a different color.
“Why is it different from the hyena’s?” Li Xia took it and examined it carefully. Then she put it in her mouth, tilted her head back, and felt something very cold slide down her throat and into her stomach. Then she felt the coldness emanating from the thing in her stomach, which then began to spread rapidly throughout her body…
The icy feeling began to spread from my stomach to my internal organs, then to my meridians, and deep into my bones...
Countless drops of water are now seeping out of Lixia's skin and then returning to her skin. At first, the water was very murky, but as time goes by, it gradually becomes clear.
Li Xia felt herself getting colder and colder, and her whole body began to stiffen slowly. Her body had turned into a corpse and was slowly entering the state of rigor mortis.
The bone-chilling cold made Li Xia feel as if her soul had been frozen, but her consciousness remained.
"If hyenas can do it, so can I! Hang in there!" Li Xia encouraged herself.
"Have you all made up your minds? My patience is wearing thin!" The tattooed girl stood in front of the group again, coldly staring at the fully armed police officers not far away.
"Wait a moment, our superiors are still in a meeting discussing this issue. I'll let you know as soon as we have a result!" the deputy director said, wiping the cold sweat from his face.
"Are you trying to stall for time to prepare some big move?" The tattooed girl tilted her head and looked at the deputy director, then walked step by step toward the entrance of the police station!
"What should we do? Should we shoot her?" The sniper had already taken aim at the woman and could kill her at any moment.
"Step back! One more step forward! Shoot her on the spot!" The deputy director immediately warned the tattooed girl, but she ignored the warning and continued walking towards the entrance of the police station.
With a loud "bang," the tattooed girl's head exploded! There was no horrific scene of blood splattering everywhere, nor any shocking image of brains bursting out. This tattooed girl, whose head had been blown off, walked more than ten steps before collapsing in front of the police officers.
"Danger cleared!" The deputy director looked at the headless female corpse not far away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when all the police thought the crisis was over, the headless corpse that had been lying motionless on the ground suddenly shot up like a bullet, heading straight for the police not far away!
However, they were caught in something like a fishing net. It was as if the two men standing in front of the police had somehow produced a net and used it to trap the resurrected corpse. The other man then threw a fire into the net.
The headless corpse struggled desperately inside the net, trying to break free and escape, but was set on fire. The corpse inside emitted strange squeaking noises and began to writhe in agony on the ground...
Countless insects tried to escape from the net, but the net looked very sparse, and the insects just couldn't get out.
The flames died down, and the two men pulled the net back up, leaving only a patch of blackened marks on the ground...
With the death of the tattooed girl, the crowd standing not far away began to stir, and slowly pushed towards the entrance of the police station.
"What do we do now? We can't just kill them all, can we?" The deputy director looked at the endless, crowded scene opposite him, feeling extremely anxious. He wondered what the higher-ups had discussed.
"Do you have any flamethrowers here?" A mysterious man turned around and looked at the deputy director.
"Yes, it seems so," the deputy director quickly replied.
"Go and get two more. The rest is none of your business. You all retreat inside. If the two of us die here, then you're on your own." After saying this, the mysterious man looked at the crowd that was surging towards him like a tide.
"Hey, this is Sanlang. Things in Langcheng are getting out of control. We're prepared to sacrifice ourselves. If the two of us die, I suggest we wipe out everyone in Langcheng!" After saying this, the mysterious man hung up the phone. Then, the two of them carried the flare guns that the two policemen had brought over and walked towards the surging crowd...
When the deputy director heard the mysterious person's phone call, he knew that this matter could no longer be handled with normal common sense and values, so he gritted his teeth and made up his mind...
"Boom..." Two jets of flame, each over ten meters long, swept across the surging crowd. The flames from the flame guns ignited the crowd instantly. Despite their burning bodies, the people continued walking towards the police station entrance...
Countless people fell to the ground, and those behind trampled on those in front to continue pushing towards the entrance of the police station. The flames on those who had fallen to the ground after being set on fire were extinguished by those behind them, and then they got up again and continued to advance...
"Prepare for battle! Fire!" At the deputy director's command, countless tongues of fire erupted, firing at the throng of people opposite. The two special operations team members carrying flamethrower guns glanced at the deputy director, then continued to burn the surging crowd...
The Battle of Langcheng has officially begun!
Countless flames erupted as they hurtled towards the police station entrance, and gunfire erupted everywhere, with countless people falling to the ground amidst the gunfire…
"Watch out! They're here!" The mysterious man called Three Wolves suddenly roared, and countless insects crawled out from the bodies of those attacking the police station and then quickly swarmed towards the police officers!
The flamethrower was almost unable to stop the insects. Three Wolves looked unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They could only retreat into the police station with their companions while spraying flames...
"Hmm?" Shangguan Qiangwei sensed something was wrong! She was originally going to leave Langcheng, but she still had some things to take care of, so she stayed here for two more days.
"Dear citizens, this is not a drill. Our Langcheng is currently under attack by a group of unidentified creatures. Citizens who are not infected should stay at home and not go out unnecessarily. We will come to rescue you soon. These unidentified creatures are very afraid of fire. These things can parasitize people, so please pay close attention to the people around you and see if there are any abnormalities..." This message was broadcast on almost every mobile phone and on almost all mobile phone apps.
Shangguan Qiangwei frowned as she looked at the announcement on her phone. Could these things have been brought out of the dense forest by Hyena? Was what Hyena told her true? Shangguan Qiangwei hurriedly rushed into the storage room...
"Plop, plop..." Countless insects fell from the ceiling and crawled into the sofa and corners on the floor to hide. More and more insects appeared on the ceiling, and then with a "boom", the ceiling could no longer support it and collapsed. The insects on it swarmed onto the floor...
Shangguan Qiangwei froze, not expecting these things to have invaded her place so quickly. She took out insecticide and other insecticides from the storage room, and stuffed them all into a bag she could find. Then she quietly prepared to open the window and leave.
The moment the window was opened, swarms of insects poured in from outside, and Shangguan Qiangwei began spraying insecticide at them...
Li Xia's entire body was covered with a thin layer of ice. Li Xia felt that if her body were to be lightly tapped with a hammer, it might shatter on its own. However, the ice on her body was not over yet and was still covering her. Li Xia was now like being in an ice coffin...
Just then, the old lady who had been scared away by Ru Huan returned. This time, she not only came back on her own, but also brought a group of helpers. The old lady hung in mid-air, her dead fish eyes staring intently at Ru Huan as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Below were nearly twenty more ghosts in a similar state to the old woman above. These ghosts were very eerie, especially the eight ghosts standing in front, whose faces were covered by a dark yellow paper, giving them a very fierce feeling. The dozen or so behind them looked much weaker than the eight in front, including two that looked like policemen. Ru Huan looked at these ghosts who were trying to get revenge for the old woman, but she didn't pay them any attention.
The ghosts standing in front of her suddenly appeared in front of Ru Huan, ready to attack her. The hanged ghost, already far away, dared not approach and could only watch from a distance.
With a loud "boom," a flame as tall as a person suddenly appeared in front of Ru Huan, instantly igniting the fierce ghosts who were about to attack! The fierce ghosts standing in front of Ru Huan could not withstand the crimson flames and retreated into the dam, where the flames on their bodies slowly died down.
A person slowly emerged from the flames in front of Ru Huan. The person was completely red, like a walking block of iron that had been heated to a bright red by fire!
The hyenas appeared! Standing in front of Ru Huan, they awaited her command. Ru Huan glanced at the vengeful spirits who had retreated into the courtyard and merely snorted coldly.
Suddenly, the hyena appeared in the middle of these vengeful spirits, and a ring of flames suddenly appeared around it, enveloping the spirits.
"Submit or die!" Ru Huan said directly, looking at the vengeful ghosts.
These vengeful ghosts were completely unmoved by Ru Huan's words. The eight ghosts, whose faces were covered by dark yellow paper, turned around and grabbed the hyena by the neck, preparing to strangle the hyena standing in the middle of them.
The hyena gave a sinister smile, and its entire body suddenly spewed out scorching flames, instantly igniting all the vengeful ghosts. All twenty ghosts were engulfed in flames. The two ghosts who looked like policemen were the first to succumb to the burning flames, letting out a series of shrill screams before turning to ashes.
The hyena allowed these vengeful spirits to choke it, and the flames on its body instantly turned from crimson to blood red! Four or five more vengeful spirits couldn't withstand the flames and were burned to ashes.
The eight masked ghosts who were choking the hyena were also in bad shape. The flames had already removed their burial clothes, revealing their dark brown, shriveled corpses. Before long, these shriveled corpses were also set ablaze by the flames.
“Kill them, they’re useless to me, keeping them around is pointless!” Ru Huan said coldly.
Upon hearing Ru Huan's command, the hyena grinned maliciously, and countless chains of fire emerged from its body, instantly binding all the vengeful spirits tightly and tightening their grip rapidly!
Several more vengeful ghosts were strangled by the fire chains, leaving only eight masked ghosts struggling to hold on. Their bodies were bound by the hyenas' fire chains, which moved across their bodies like saws, cutting through them and penetrating deeper into their flesh...
Finally, one of the veiled ghosts couldn't hold on any longer and vanished. The hyena continued, its crimson flames turning green! This was because the spiritual energy of these vengeful ghosts had transferred to the hyena through the fire chains, causing the flames on the hyena to suddenly transform into will-o'-the-wisps!
With a "thump," the masked ghost in front suddenly knelt down before Ru Huan, the green flames on his body almost burning him away! Once the leader in front knelt down, all the others behind him knelt down as well.
But Ru Huan showed no intention of telling the hyenas to stop, and the masked ghosts behind them began to struggle painfully on the ground...
"Alright, I thought you guys weren't afraid of death, humph! Looks like your lives are more important!" Ru Huan looked at the five masked ghosts left and then told the hyenas to stop.
Seeing how powerful and cool the hyenas were, Lixia felt a surge of excitement in her heart. No matter how much pain she was in, she had to persevere!
Seeing these vengeful ghosts kneeling before her, a black umbrella suddenly appeared in her hand, and she collected all the vengeful ghosts into the black umbrella, leaving only Li Xia's mother hanging in mid-air.
Since Lixia is now willing to be her spirit slave, she doesn't want to completely destroy this hanged ghost. As long as the hanged ghost doesn't cause trouble, Ruhuan will still acknowledge its existence.
Finally, Lixia also became Ruhuan's spirit slave. Now Ruhuan has two spirit slaves, Hyena and Lixia. Hyena is no longer the spirited young man with blond hair. Now he has become a spirited young man with bright red hair. From a distance, it looks like there is a ball of fire burning on Hyena's head.
Lixia's already messy hair has now turned grayish-white, looking like there's frost on her head.
"You can stay with your son, but as long as you don't go crazy, I can let you and Lixia come together. If you want to die, I can grant your wish!" Ru Huan said to the hanged ghost in mid-air.
"Alright, you two go and kill all the people in the village who have been invaded by these insects, leave no one alive!" Ru Huan said to Hyena and Li Xia.
The two exchanged a glance, then vanished from the spot. From time to time, the sound of something breaking could be heard in the village, along with flashes of dazzling firelight...
Looking at this seemingly peaceful little mountain village, Ru Huan thought of her former home, Yanjiawan...
In Langcheng, at the Public Security Bureau, the police had retreated to the fifth floor of the lobby. The lower floors had been occupied by the intruders, and the remaining police were guarding the corridors and elevator entrances.
Sanlang frowned as he looked at the countless insects crawling densely up the wall outside. The area below was already crowded with people invaded by these insects. Seeing this, Sanlang ordered the deputy director to call all the people still downstairs to the roof.
"What do we do now?" The deputy director looked down at the dense, creepy swarm of insects rushing upwards like a flood. Because the building was so tall, some insects fell down halfway down...
Shangguan Qiangwei was in a terrible state. Her high heels had disappeared somewhere, and she was now barefoot, sitting on a lamppost with a bag on her back. The road below was covered with swarms of insects. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she might have become a puppet of these insects.
Countless insects crawled up the lamppost, but Shangguan Qiangwei had smeared mentholatum and eucalyptus oil on it. The insects couldn't stand the smell and all fell down. But the insects still kept climbing up Shangguan Qiangwei's lamppost!
Seeing the countless people below staring at her expressionlessly, Shangguan Qiangwei drew her pistol and opened fire on them.
After a magazine was emptied, some of the people who were hit had only half of their heads left, while others had large holes in their chests, with countless insects going in and out of the wounds...
“This can’t go on. We have to leave. Otherwise, even if we aren’t invaded by these insects, we’ll die of thirst and starvation here,” Shangguan Qiangwei said.
"Hello, I'm trapped in Langcheng right now. Will you come to rescue me?" Shangguan Qiangwei hung up the phone immediately after speaking, then felt a faint sense of anticipation, wanting to see who was behind this mysterious phone number...
Sanlang ordered the police to open all the fire hydrants, and then several people pulled the fire hoses and sprayed them at the insects that had climbed to the roof. Countless insects were scattered by the powerful jets of water from the fire hoses, finally giving Sanlang and his men a moment to catch their breath...
"A bizarre incident has occurred in our neighboring city of Langcheng. I heard it has fallen, and we've also started a lockdown here, allowing people to leave but not enter!" The county head of Yu County began to convene a meeting. The situation was extremely urgent, and all departments in Yu County were busy...
“Master, all the insects here have been cleared out,” Hyena and Lixia said, standing in front of Ruhuan.
“Very good, Lixia, continue with your mother’s funeral. Do it properly, because your mother is right above you watching over you,” Ruhuan said.
“Yes, I know,” Lixia nodded, looking at the hanged ghost above her head.
The Taoist priests and the atmosphere-setting group, who were banging drums and gongs, had no idea what had happened the night before. Ru Huan had blocked them out, and they continued working as usual, starting their day as soon as they woke up. After all, the host had paid them a good amount of money, so they were playing their instruments very hard. The Taoist priests were also busy trying to help Li Xia's mother go to the Pure Land. But what they didn't know was that Li Xia's mother was right above them, watching them go around in circles, performing all sorts of rituals...
"Li Xia, what do you mean?" Suddenly, a group of furious people rushed into the mourning hall. A burly man lifted Li Xia, who was kneeling on the ground, up and grabbed her by the throat!
Lixia shook her head at the hyena that was about to approach, indicating that she would handle her own affairs.
"Cousin, what are you doing? Stop messing around and put me down," Li Xia said calmly, gently patting the rough hand gripping her throat.
The cousin was about to say something harsh, but when Li Xia gently patted his arm twice, he felt a numbness in his arm and immediately lost consciousness.
The cousin watched in horror as Li Xia walked past him and then approached the relatives.
"Thank you all, uncles and elders, for attending my mother's funeral. I am deeply grateful. Come, come in and offer incense to my mother. Where is the incense master? Quickly bring the incense over!" Li Xia smiled as she watched her relatives arrive, and then prepared to have them pay their respects to her mother.
"Fuck your mother! I'm here today to ask you why you froze your assets. You're already dead, dead, you know that? What are you still holding onto those assets for?" An old man came over and slapped Li Xia across the face, then started cursing at her with spittle flying everywhere.
Li Xia looked at her great-uncle, her face still aching and her ears still ringing. A group of relatives behind her started chattering and making a fuss, saying that Li Xia was a bad person and why she froze her assets, causing her to have to complete all the necessary paperwork and even hire a lawyer, only to find that she couldn't get the money out and had spent nearly five or six thousand yuan.
These relatives are demanding that Li Xia reimburse them for their lawyer fees and the money they spent on meals to get the certificates. It seems that if Li Xia doesn't pay, these relatives will verbally abuse or even beat her to death.
Those who had helped and those who had been banging drums and gongs could only shake their heads helplessly at the sight of these relatives acting like mad dogs, feeling sorry for Li Xia having such relatives...
