Ji Qian's fist struck the bullseye, and the burned ghost was sent flying backward by Ji Qian's powerful blow, letting out a piercing shriek.
In just a few seconds, Ji Qian broke out in a cold sweat, and her already overactive tear ducts began to secrete tears involuntarily.
.
When the burned ghost crashed into the courtyard wall, Ji Qian realized that she had been in tears all along.
Seeing that the burned ghost was about to get up and fight back, Ji Qian gritted her teeth and chased after him with tears in her eyes. At the same time, she took out the two kitchen knives that Old Li had given her and chopped them down at the burned ghost's two arms.
With a swift stroke, the burn victim's two arms fell to the ground.
Before he could react, Ji Qian kicked him in the back of the knee.
The burned ghost fell to his knees with a thud, and Ji Qianxuan immediately held a kitchen knife to his neck.
At this moment, Ji Qian had not yet fully recovered from the shock just now. Her hand holding the knife was even trembling uncontrollably. Before long, she had created many small wounds on the burn ghost.
But a demon is a demon after all, and the burned demon did not give in so easily.
Despite losing both arms, the resilient burn victim still stubbornly opened its mouth, trying to bite Ji Qian's arm.
Then Ji Qian slapped him to the ground and kicked him repeatedly.
Ji Qian was a person of principle, so none of her twenty-odd kicks landed outside the head.
"Wait, wait! I'm all better now, I'm awake!" The burn victim felt like his skull was about to be cracked by the kick.
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian slowly moved her foot away and indeed saw that the burned ghost's eyes were much clearer now, so she asked:
"Three living people entered this courtyard this morning. Where are they now?"
"I don't know either... Ah!"
Not getting a definite answer, Ji Qian didn't waste any more words and directly chopped off the burn ghost's left ear with a single stroke, while also cracking a hellish joke:
"You know what? Sweet words should be spoken to the left ear."
Seeing the burn ghost's bewildered expression, Ji Qian knew that the other party definitely didn't understand the joke. However, after all, he was an old ghost who had been dead for hundreds of years, so it was understandable that he didn't understand the "youthful angst" joke.
Ji Qian generously forgave him and placed the other knife on the burn victim's only remaining right ear:
"I don't have much patience. Think it through before you answer."
After losing an ear, the burn victim became noticeably more cautious in his answer:
"My magical power is unstable. I can only guarantee that none of the three of them have left this house. As for their exact location, I really don't know!"
Fearing that Ji Qian might attack again, he quickly added, "But I can help you find them! I can sense them within a certain range."
Ji Qian pondered for a while, then turned around and made a small doll out of the remaining straw. She then stuffed the burned ghost, along with his organs that had fallen to the ground, into the doll.
Within seconds, the little puppet stood up unsteadily: "Is this... the legendary possession technique?"
The burned ghost looked at the straw arm in front of him and asked in disbelief.
Ji Qian picked up the small doll and walked out of the yard, explaining kindly as she went, "It's not that high-end, it's just a different container."
The burned ghost didn't hear a word he said, still holding his hands in disbelief, constantly marveling at the wonder of the magic.
As Ji Qian left the courtyard, her live stream, which had been black, finally returned to normal.
[Waaaaah, Sister Qian, you finally appeared! I thought you'd been banned!]
Why was he arrested? Was it malicious assault?
[Don't talk nonsense, our Sister Qian has never beaten anyone except Xu Qi!]
[Xu Qi: ???]
How could the pile of weeds in her hands be talking?
[No, wait until I exploit a bug to zoom in and take a look...]
I see now, that pile of weeds looks like a scarecrow!
Judging by the roughness of this work, could Ji Qian have made it herself...?
【possible……】
【Seriously, isn't anyone paying attention to the fact that it can talk?!】
It's probably just a ghost.
[Hey, you're so calm!]
Oh dear, don't make a fuss. Ji Qian has always been a bit strange.
Inside the restaurant, the production team, Xu Qimi, Ye Si, and others were eagerly awaiting Ji Qian's return.
When Director Liu heard from the staff that Ji Qian's live stream had returned to normal, he immediately ran to the computer to check.
After seeing Ji Qian walk safely out of the courtyard, Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully no other guest was lost.
But when he saw the talking unidentified object that Ji Qian was holding in her hand, and recalled the portable female ghost that Ji Qian always carried with her, Director Liu suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Ji Qian returned to the restaurant, slammed the scarecrow onto the table, and then picked up the water glass on the table and began frantically pouring water into it.
She was choked by the smoke in the yard just now; if it weren't for the need to maintain her composure, she would have coughed up her lungs right there.
By the time Ji Qian finally recovered, Xu Qi, who had some social skills, was already fighting with the burn victim.
Ji Qian looked at Xu Qi, whose face was flushed with excitement as he chatted with the burn ghost about metaphysics, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to expose the burn ghost's true nature. Besides, they had more important things to do now:
"Mengjie and the others are safe for now. They're probably trapped somewhere in this house. Let's split up and search for them."
Ji Qian turned to look at Director Liu, who was about to sneak back to his office:
"Director Liu, could you please search the front yard? This house is too big; the three of us can't search it all."
Director Liu chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this and silently withdrew his foot from the path leading to the office.
According to the burn victim, the intermediate court didn't need to search the premises.
