The elevator leads directly to the apartment, which is large and empty. There are some leftover broccoli and chicken breast piled on the coffee table.
Jiang Ji gave him a wink, and Su Zikun obediently went to tidy up.
"Sorry, the house is indeed a bit messy," Jiang Ji said, embarrassed.
Lin Xi waved her hand, "It's okay. I've been to dorms that are even more chaotic. This one is fine."
Su Zikun brought out some snacks. "Master, would you like some?"
"eat."
Lin Xi picked up a bag of potato chips with her left hand and a can of cola with her right.
She added a special explanation: "You need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight."
"Oh, I understand."
Su Zikun sat to the side in a daze. The master looked so cute, he was even a little tempted.
No, no, he's thinking about all sorts of nonsense.
The three of them sat there awkwardly, the atmosphere extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Ji turned on the TV, and the lively sounds filled the room, which finally eased the awkwardness.
Pineapple TV just happened to be airing a drama starring Jiang Ji, and Su Zikun excitedly introduced, "Master, isn't Jiang Ji incredibly handsome in the ancient costume drama he filmed last year?"
The two characters in the TV series are experiencing a life-or-death separation.
"Don't worry about me, just go."
"No, I'm not leaving. If we have to leave, we'll leave together."
"Get out of here, pfft—"
"Don't leave me, don't..."
Lin Xi covered her face.
What is all this nonsense? In that time, she would have already taken down the villainous boss.
Wu Ma's strange ideas must have come from watching TV dramas.
This is awkward.
Su Zikun coughed lightly, "The director likes this style. Jiang Ji protested many times, but he still kept this part."
"Never mind, let's look at something else."
He switched to the children's channel and took out his phone to check the news.
Su Zikun exclaimed, "Shang Qing and Yu Dongliang have both disappeared, and everyone is speculating whether they are dead or alive?"
"Let me see." Lin Xi leaned closer. "They're both dead."
"Holy crap!" Su Zikun got goosebumps all over. "Shang Qing and Yu Dongliang don't even know each other. What's going on? A revenge killing?"
Lin Xi frowned.
She destroyed the life-absorbing talisman; Shang Qing shouldn't have died so quickly.
Sizzle sizzle—
The sound of scratching glass interrupted her thoughts, and Lin Xi looked up outside.
The lights overhead suddenly went out.
No light from outside could get in; the room was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Su Zikun trembled involuntarily and whispered, "Master, Master..."
Lin Xi took out a peace charm and gave it to him, saying, "Take this and go to the side. We'll settle the bill later."
"OK."
Su Zikun nodded obediently, held the amulet, and huddled on the sofa.
Lin Xi walked towards Jiang Ji, saying, "The vengeful ghost is after you. Don't leave my side."
"Hmm." Jiang Ji looked at the person next to him.
Her features were obscured in the darkness, but her powerful aura was undeniable.
Jiang Ji parted his lips and asked, "Master Lin, what do I need to do?"
“Stand quietly behind me.”
Lin Xi squinted at the thing that had crawled in; it was emanating a disgusting black aura.
The thick black aura obscured his facial features, but Lin Xi could tell at a glance what it was.
Ghost baby.
The souls of infants who die a violent death or are denied rest will become ghost babies.
Ghost infants are pure and yin in nature, with underdeveloped intelligence, making them more powerful and easier to control than ordinary ghosts.
There is a type of evil magic in Southeast Asia called Kuman Thong.
They cut open the womb of a seven- or eight-month-old fetus and then cruelly kill it.
In this way, the stronger the resentment of the ghost infant, the greater its power.
The ghost infant in front of Lin Xi had extremely heavy blood energy and a very thick yin energy, making it almost as powerful as a vengeful ghost.
This ghost baby has killed countless people.
The ghost baby is despicable, but the person who manipulates him is even more despicable.
Lin Xi didn't hesitate and rushed over to fight.
Su Zikun stared wide-eyed, unable to see her movements at all.
Holy crap! He really tore the ghost apart with his bare hands.
Master, you're awesome!
A golden light flashed, and the black cloud of energy gradually transformed into the shape of an infant.
He had dark skin, no nose or ears, but four eyes and a huge mouth.
Su Zikun trembled with fear.
Mom! How terrifying! I'm going to have nightmares tonight.
Jiang Ji stood frozen in place.
He knew ghosts existed, but this was the first time he had seen one with his own eyes, so it was impossible for him not to be afraid.
Jiang Ji looked over there, feeling very worried. He didn't want anything to happen to anyone.
Lin Xi picked up the ghost baby with one hand and slapped a talisman on its forehead.
"ah--!!"
The ghost baby screamed shrilly and struggled desperately.
He opened his mouth wide and bit the person behind him.
die! die! ! "
Lin Xi slapped it, and the ghost baby's figure faded a bit.
"Die! Die!!"
The ghost baby kept repeating these words.
He was blinded by rage and had long lost his reason; only one thought occupied his mind.
Kill everyone! Eat everyone!
Lin Xi took out another immobilization talisman to seal his mouth, and punched him a few more times. The ghost baby finally calmed down.
The ghost baby opened and closed its mouth, its four scarlet eyes staring intently at her with an extremely sinister gaze.
Lin Xi ignored the gaze and carefully examined him.
The ghost baby is bloodthirsty and must have a boss hiding behind it, otherwise it would have been discovered by the Special Administration Bureau long ago.
She plans to keep the ghost baby while she finds the person behind it all.
Lin Xi drew upon a wisp of Yin energy, rapidly forming hand seals with one hand, as images flashed through her mind.
The mastermind behind it all has been found!
"You two stay here and wait for me to come back."
Lin Xi pushed open the window, grabbed the ghost baby, and jumped out.
