Chapter 315: Darkness
"This is where you lost your soul." Zhong Nianyao's cold voice sounded, "What? Are you still not awake?"
Upon hearing such cold words, Zhao Xuanlang couldn't help but shudder, and he woke up completely. He almost jumped up with a somersault.
It was only at this time that he realized that Liu Zihang was also here.
"Zihang, why are you here too?" Zhao Xuanlang was a little surprised. "Also, isn't this the place where we rescued that child yesterday?"
"Xiao Lang, how are you feeling now?" Mother Zhao stepped forward and began to examine Zhao Xuanlang from head to toe. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"I--" Zhao Xuanlang had just opened his mouth when he was slapped on the head by his father.
Seeing Zhao Xuanlang jumping around so happily, his father knew that he was definitely fine. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped Zhao Xuanlang on the head.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Zhao Xuanlang touched his head and said a little aggrievedly, "I didn't do anything! Why are you hitting me?"
"How dare you say that, you little bastard." Father Zhao said with a stern face, "Didn't I tell you before Nian Yao to stay away from water? You really are quite courageous! You've lost your soul. If it weren't for Nian Yao, you would have lost your life too."
"What!"
Zhao Xuanlang was really frightened this time. He quickly looked at Zhong Nianyao and asked, "Boss, am I losing my soul?"
"Yeah!" Zhong Nianyao nodded. "You must have been infected when you went into the water yesterday. Where's your amulet?"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Zhao Xuanlang was stunned for a moment, then he touched his neck and found that the small bag containing the amulet was no longer there! Only a small amount of ash was left.
Before, he had always used a small waterproof bag to carry the amulet given by Zhong Nian Yao, and he didn't even dare to take it off when taking a bath.
Especially before, Zhong Nianyao said that he would have a disaster during the summer vacation, so he was even more cautious and would never take off the amulet. No one knew when the amulet turned into ashes.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he went into the water to save someone yesterday, his chest seemed to heat up. But at that time, he was in a hurry to save people, so he didn't pay attention at all. Could it be that——
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanlang couldn't help but shudder.
"You didn't save a human yesterday." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "The amulet had already protected you once at that time. However, I think this ghost has already taken a fancy to you!"
"Huh?" Zhao Xuanlang didn't feel honored at all. He had a sad face and was about to hug Zhong Nianyao's thigh, "Boss, you have to help me! I... I'm still young and don't want to die at all!"
Being targeted by a ghost is terrifying no matter how you hear it. Especially since the ghost didn't harm him during the day yesterday, but came back at night. Does that mean that even if the boss saved him this time, he might still be possessed by the ghost again in the future?
Suddenly, Zhao Xuanlang felt that his life was really dark.
Zhao's father and mother were also very anxious. Knowing that their son was being targeted by a ghost, how could they not be anxious!
"So we have to get this resolved today."
Zhong Nianyao's eyes fell on the pool of water. She took out a piece of talisman paper from her bag and threw it towards the pool.
It was clearly a very light piece of paper, but when it flew over the pond, it spontaneously combusted without fire, and the talisman paper burned to ashes and fell into the pond.
At the same time, Zhong Nianyao formed seals with her hands and chanted an incantation, "Chichiyangyang, the sun rises in the east, I grant you a magic talisman to sweep away all evil, spit out the fire of the mountains, and the talisman flies through the gates to capture light. I will lift up monsters from all over the sky and meet the past generations, break the plague and eat the diamond every year, subdue the demons and the dead, and turn them into auspiciousness. The Supreme Lord Laozi, I am auspicious as the law commands."
Soon, the pond that had returned to calm began to boil again, even emitting bursts of smoke, and it really looked like boiling water.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the pool, and their hearts were hanging in the air.
Liu Zihang had never encountered such a thing before. He was scared and unknowingly approached Zhao Xuanlang.
Zhao Xuanlang was already very nervous, and when someone suddenly approached him, he was startled. After seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What are you doing? Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"
"I'm scared!" Liu Zihang wasn't angry. He even reached out and grabbed Zhao Xuanlang's sleeve. "I feel more at ease with you. We're all brothers. You wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"
"Are you sure?" Zhao Xuanlang looked a little strange. "Didn't you hear me just now? I'm the ghost's target now. You're so close to me, aren't you afraid of being affected?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zihang immediately let go of Zhao Xuanlang's hand, then took several steps and stood several meters away from Zhao Xuanlang.
Seeing Liu Zihang's actions, Zhao Xuanlang felt a little speechless. He looked at Liu Zihang and spoke directly, "Didn't you just say that you are brothers? Does your brotherhood have a time limit?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Zihang's face. "Haha, please be understanding! I've never encountered such a supernatural event before, so naturally I'm scared."
Zhao Xuanlang was just saying it casually, without any other intention. He didn't look at Liu Zihang again, but shifted his gaze to the pond.
Everyone has made preparations. No matter what kind of evil spirit comes out of the pool, they feel they can handle it.
As everyone watched, the smoke above the pool gradually dissipated, and a black mist slowly rose from the pool and then fell on the grass beside the pool. As the black mist dissipated, a small figure appeared before everyone.
When they saw the figure appear, everyone was stunned.
"This... is this the evil spirit?" Liu Zihang pointed at the small figure, his tone full of doubt, "Are you sure? Is this a mistake?"
"Uh—" Zhao Xuanlang's tone was filled with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, "This is probably... or... maybe it should be, right?"
Zhao's father and mother were also confused.
Even Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment when she saw the small figure, and her brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly recovered. "It was you who did this? It was you who took away Zhao Xuanlang's three souls?"
