"So sudden?"
Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I heard what the older woman said.
I don't know when it started, but even without my earth spirit, I've developed a little more emotion than before.
"Hmm, don't worry, there shouldn't be any major problems! Take a look at the notes I left behind; they'll be of great help to you!"
The older woman comforted her.
However, the woman's expression betrayed her.
“My friend is probably coming tomorrow. With him around, things might be more reliable.”
I still told the old lady the news, as a way of comforting her.
"Well, we'll see tomorrow. What's meant to happen will happen. I should choose to believe you. I believe in Owl God's choice."
The woman smiled, trying to calm herself down.
That night, Lao Dao and I made a makeshift bed on the floor in the study.
The older woman originally wanted us to go to another room, but I decided to stay here so I could quickly grasp the knowledge.
As for Lao Dao, seeing me in the study, he was a little worried and wanted to stay and keep me company.
Although he was keeping me company, the kid lay on the floor, playing on his phone, and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
Seeing that Lao Dao was still holding his phone but had fallen asleep, I felt like punching him.
...
Nothing happened that night. I spent the whole night practicing according to the notes. As for the eagle owl tattoo, its power seemed to be much stronger than before.
The auntie prepared a sumptuous meal for us, and Lao Dao and I wolfed it down.
"Sister, what's so terrifying about [that place]? Even with so many gods in a place like Haopo Village, how could it not be subdued?"
I'm a little curious.
Haopo Village should theoretically be a place where ghosts and monsters cannot enter.
If there were any filth in the village, it would probably have been cleaned up long ago.
Moreover, judging from the notes in the study yesterday, this Zhou tailor must be very capable, probably even more so than Liu Sandao.
I can't imagine what could be so terrifying about this place.
“That place just happens to be outside the boundaries of Haopo Village. If it were in Haopo Village, things would be much easier to resolve.”
The woman sighed deeply, her voice filled with regret.
"Not in Haopo Village? Could it be in Shangjiao Village?"
I was slightly taken aback.
I thought to myself, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it? We came from Shangjiao Village yesterday."
"Oh, that's impressive. You actually know about Shangjiao Village? That's right, the place the old man went to was Shangjiao Village."
The woman nodded, which was taken as an admission.
“We came from Upper Corner Village yesterday…and we’ve certainly been through a lot.”
I gave a bitter smile; there was no escaping it after all.
Shangjiao Village has already been infiltrated by Wu Zhiguo's men.
Could that place also be related to Wu Zhiguo?
I had a bad feeling.
"Brother Chen, let's be careful, that place is a bit eerie..."
Old Dao also tugged at my clothes and whispered a reminder to me.
After finishing my meal, I asked the older woman about the surrounding area and prepared my ritual implements.
At this moment, Liu Sandao arrived.
Liu Sandao still dressed like a gangster boss, looking cool yet somewhat abstract.
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he entered with practiced ease, clearly someone who had been to this place many times before.
"Brother Liu, that's great! You've finally arrived!"
Seeing Liu Sandao arrive gave me a strange sense of peace.
Although Liu Sandao previously asked me to call him Brother Dao.
But since Lao Dao was there, he started calling him Brother Liu again, and Liu San Dao didn't object last time.
"Yeah, I came right over as soon as you called. You're really lucky!"
Liu Sandao lightly punched me in the shoulder.
"You're here!"
The older woman standing nearby also started greeting Liu Sandao.
It seems they know each other.
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law, I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. Is my Third Brother alright?"
Liu Sandao first nodded at me, then quickly started talking to the older woman.
"They should be alright. The soul lamp in the room is still lit, so the person's life isn't in danger. It's probably that thing that's causing the trouble..."
After seeing Liu Sandao, the older woman calmed down considerably and immediately explained the current situation to him.
"The situation isn't good, but with Chen Yan's improved strength this time, it's time to deal with this hidden danger from back then."
After listening, Liu Sandao took a drag of his cigarette; the situation was more complicated than he had imagined.
"Brother Liu, could this also be some kind of hidden danger left behind by your master?"
I recalled the female ghost from last time; it seemed to have been sealed away by Liu Sandao's master.
I expect the same this time.
"Yes, at that time my master was not able to solve it, so he just happened to suppress it near Haopo Village."
They wanted to use the local gods to wear them down, but unfortunately, the local gods strongly resisted, and they could only suppress them in Upper Corner Village.
Liu Sandao patiently explained it to me.
At this point, I understood.
This item was originally intended to be stored in Haopo Village, but Haopo Village refused to accept it, so it could only be placed nearby.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the situation in Shangjiao Village and Town has become uncontrollable and problems have arisen.
"Wait, older brother, you call him Brother Liu?" The older woman noticed this detail.
"Third Sister-in-law, don't let Xiao Chen's old appearance fool you, he's actually quite young. He only turned out this way because of an accident!"
Liu Sandao explained to the old lady with a smile.
After hearing this, the older woman became even more curious about me.
"Wait, you seem to have recovered a bit, is it because of that tattoo?"
Liu Sandao then noticed that I looked younger than when he had seen me before.
He looked at my arm cautiously, clearly still shaken by what happened that day.
"Hmm, this thing is getting stronger and stronger now, Brother Liu, we might need it in the future!"
I put my arm behind my back, afraid of hurting Liu Sandao.
This thing is indeed powerful, but if I can't control it, it will be a disaster for me.
"That's right, the thing inside probably never imagined we would actually invite the Owl God over!"
Liu Sandao agreed with what I said and nodded seriously.
"Brother Liu, stop joking, I..."
Are you serious?
Seeing Liu Sandao's serious expression, I realized that Liu Sandao really considered this his trump card.
“The Owl God has a natural resistance to this kind of thing. With you joining us, our chances of winning are very high.”
After Liu Sandao finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves.
There was a shocking scar on his upper arm; although a long time had passed, one could still sense the danger it represented.
"This is what that thing left behind. I was thinking, maybe this is why your tattoo attacked me before!"
