After Li Zhiyi dealt with the human-faced monsters, Yu Feier also finished off the water demon. She wriggled her fish tail and came to Li Zhiyi's side: "Daoist Master, thank you for healing my wounds."
"Go ahead, I'll take you home tomorrow."
"Thank you, Daoist Master." Yu Feier bowed respectfully to Li Zhiyi, then automatically shrank and disappeared into the glass bottle.
Gu Siye realized that this fish monster was probably the same strange fish that had appeared in the Sino-Western Joint Restaurant that day. It was quite strange that this strange fish could speak human language. Although he was curious, he did not ask any further questions.
Let's go.
Gu Siye walked to Li Zhiyi's left, and the two walked silently. Suddenly, Li Zhiyi smelled a rotten paper scent.
Turning around, I saw countless paper spirits on the ground. They were human-shaped, but much smaller, about the size of a human head.
The paper used to cut this paper spirit was not the kind used to exorcise demons, but rather paper burial objects from ancient tombs at least a hundred years old, cut into human form. This paper was originally extremely yin in nature, and with the addition of the sorcerer's ritual, it was very likely that it also contained resentment or living spirits.
The book describes the paper spirit as having no facial features but two feet, its footsteps as light as a whisper, and the places it appears in always leave behind a rotten paper scent.
Gu Siye turned around and looked at the strange talismans on the ground that resembled human figures, frowning as he asked, "What the hell are these things?"
"Paper spirit, don't let it taint you."
Gu Siye quickly dodged the approaching paper spirits, but they relentlessly pursued him, determined to leap and attach themselves to him.
Li Zhiyi quickly drew a talisman and threw it onto Gu Siye's suit pants. These paper spirits, which were originally walking on the ground, seemed to hear some kind of summons and all floated up into the air, rushing straight towards Gu Siye.
Li Zhiyi reacted quickly, pulling Gu Siye behind her. She chanted a spell, and the floating paper spirits stopped in front of Li Zhiyi, ceasing their attack.
The paper spirit quickly changed direction, bypassed Li Zhiyi, and attacked Gu Siye again. Li Zhiyi turned around, pushed Gu Siye away, and picked up a dry branch from the ground. She chanted a spell, and the branch suddenly caught fire.
The paper spirits were most afraid of fire. Upon seeing the burning branch, they dared not attack anymore. Li Zhi handed the burning branch to Gu Siye, "Take this. Burn them if anyone gets close to you."
In fact, Li Zhiyi could have burned these paper spirits to death as soon as she chanted the incantation, but she wanted to test Gu Siye and train his courage.
Holding a burning branch, Gu Siye took the initiative and swept the paper spirits floating in front of him one by one, setting several paper spirits on fire in an instant, and faint screams could be heard!
The remaining paper spirits seemed to possess souls, turning around and attacking Li Zhiyi again, but they underestimated Li Zhiyi's power. With a wave of her hand, Li Zhiyi set the paper spirits ablaze before her. Gu Siye couldn't hear them, but Li Zhiyi could hear the screams of living souls within the burning paper spirits!
After resolving this unexpected little incident, the two got into the car smoothly, started the engine, and drove away.
Nothing else happened along the way. When they returned to the Chen family villa, it was still dark. Li Zhizhi and Gu Nianzhi shared a room, while Gu Siye and Fu Yanche shared a guest room. They made do and spent the night together.
The next day, after they got up, Wu Huiying personally cooked several Chinese dishes for them and invited them to have breakfast. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Zhihe asked them where they were going next.
Everyone was looking at Li Zhiyi, as if she had become their pillar of support. "Let's take a boat ride today, how about we go check out the Fantasy Amusement Park first?" Li Zhiyi wanted to go there during the day.
“Great, sister-in-law, I was just thinking of going boating.” Gu Nianzhi was very happy.
On the way to the beach, Chen Zhihe asked his assistant if his private boat was ready. He had just asked his assistant to tidy it up yesterday because it hadn't been used for a long time. He didn't expect it to be usable so soon.
The person who sailed the ship was also from Chen Zhihe's company. There were also three bodyguards on board, but they did not encounter any danger along the way and arrived at their destination safely.
The ship sailed directly to the small island next to the amusement park. This time, no waiters came to greet them. They disembarked on their own, and before they even stepped inside, they could see from the outside that the place had already been on fire.
"Is there a fire here? How come I haven't heard anything about it?" Chen Zhihe was puzzled. Logically speaking, such big news shouldn't have made the news!
When the group arrived inside, they found the place in complete disarray, as if it had been ransacked. They couldn't believe that in just one night, this once bustling amusement park had been reduced to ruins.
They hadn't gone far when they saw several other people ahead, doing something they didn't know, and it seemed they weren't a group of people.
Chen Zhihe's bodyguard grabbed a young man and asked him in Thai, "Brother, what exactly happened here?"
"You guys don't know yet, but a huge fire broke out here for no reason. A lot of things were burned, and the police took away several people from the management team. I heard they're suspected of being involved in illegal projects. I don't know the specifics. I'm an adventurer, and I came here to explore and have some fun."
"Thank you."
Li Zhiyi couldn't understand Thai, so he turned to the others and asked, "Do you know what they're saying?"
Just as Chen Zhihe was about to answer her, Gu Siye preemptively answered their previous conversation.
"Sister-in-law, how did a fire start here? We're at sea, there's water everywhere, wouldn't it be easy to put out a fire?"
Fu Yanche replied, "You don't understand, do you? This is called destroying evidence, right, Miss Li?"
Gu Nianzhi glared at Fu Yanche, "You think you know everything?"
“That’s right, Fu Yanche is absolutely right. Because we called the police that day, if the police come to investigate, they will inevitably find that there are many illegal and heinous things hidden here. But if we burn it down, it will be difficult to find the evidence.”
Furthermore, she suspected that the person who opened this amusement park was a sorcerer, otherwise it wouldn't have been so sinister, or that the wealthy businessman had been manipulated by the sorcerer.
The group searched the area but found nothing of value. The strange wax figures, the odd masks, and other strange items had all vanished without a trace.
