Upon seeing this, Zhao Youliang immediately stopped in his tracks and grabbed Li Mao, trying to turn back.
"Little Li, let's go back!"
"Huh?" Li Mao, who hadn't done any smoky eye makeup today, didn't react for a moment.
"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to go back, Quantum? Just have a bite."
As he spoke, Li Mao couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously tightened his coat.
"Wow, why is it suddenly so cold?"
"It's only early autumn, it can't be that bad..."
"Cold?" Upon hearing Li Mao's words, Zhao Youliang quickly looked behind him.
To his astonishment, he discovered that a demon had appeared behind Li Mao at some point.
Just like everyone else present.
The evil spirit realized that Zhao Youliang could see it, so it slowly raised its head, revealing a bloodless face.
Black blood continued to flow from the corners of his eyes, nose, and mouth, especially when he opened his mouth to warn Zhao Youliang, large chunks of semi-congealed blood fell out.
"You brat, if you don't want to die, don't meddle in other people's business."
"Hehehehe!"
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang grabbed Li Mao and ran back without saying another word, while trying to keep his voice down.
"Little Li, don't say anything, come back with me right now!"
Li Mao wasn't stupid, especially after personally experiencing so many supernatural events recently, he immediately realized what was going on.
"Quantum, quantum, don't tell me it's haunted in broad daylight!"
Zhao Youliang nodded rapidly as he ran: "There's one lying right behind you!"
As he spoke, the evil spirit behind Li Mao, seeing that Zhao Youliang ignored the warning, immediately lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.
"You're going to die too! I want you dead!"
Zhao Youliang was no longer the ignorant fool he once was (Note 1). Upon seeing this, he immediately shouted angrily and raised his hand to throw out a talisman.
"The sky is clear and bright, the three lights shine brightly. Golden chambers and jade rooms, where five kinds of precious fungi grow."
"disperse!"
The attacking demon was struck by the captive and immediately screamed as it fled toward the mourning hall.
Zhao Youliang didn't dare to chase after them, but instead pulled Li Mao along and quickened their pace to leave.
Although Li Mao didn't have the ability to see ghosts, he could see the talismans Zhao Youliang threw burning and could vaguely hear the screams of the vengeful ghosts after they were hit.
Therefore, Zhao Youliang didn't need to pull him anymore; he ran ahead of him in a flash.
"Holy crap, it's really haunted in broad daylight!"
As the two hurriedly fled, they happened to run into Brother Chen Wei, who was walking towards them. It was clear that he was on his way to help the deceased.
"Oh dear? Quantum, Li Mao, what's going on with you guys...?"
Before Chen Wei could finish speaking, Zhao Youliang pulled him along and ran back.
At the same time, he quickly explained, "Brother Chen, the mourning hall is full of evil spirits, we can't go there!"
"Huh?!" Chen Wei was surprised to hear this.
He clearly trusted Zhao Youliang completely, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he took out his phone and called Director Zhou of the Urban Management Bureau while running alongside him.
"Brother, where are you?"
"Oh, oh, oh, it's fine to work outside of town!"
"Brother, I'm telling you, don't go and help others! Not only are you not allowed to go, but you're also not allowed to tell anyone around you to go!"
"I'll explain when we meet!!"
A moment later, the three who had finally reached the barbecue restaurant breathed a long sigh of relief.
Still not reassured, Zhao Youliang took out another stack of exorcism talismans, lit them, mixed the ashes with water, and sprinkled them around the shop.
"Alright, now the evil things over there won't be able to sense us."
"You can speak freely now!"
Li Mao is always quick to speak, and having just experienced it firsthand, he is the most anxious.
"Quantum, quantum, tell me what's going on!"
After calming down a bit, Zhao Youliang recounted everything he had seen, from the hundred ghosts he had witnessed last night to what he had seen at the funeral hall today.
After hearing this, Chen Wei and Li Mao were both shocked: "No, really? So many ghosts have come to the town?!"
"That's enough to make it 'one for everyone'?!"
"What are we going to do about quantum... Let's just forget about the five major surnames, their ancestors committed many sins."
"But the other neighbors are innocent..."
At this point, Li Mao suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, because Chen Wei was also a descendant of the Chen family, one of the five major surnames.
He quickly gave Chen Wei an apologetic smile: "Brother Chen, you know I didn't mean anything by it, it wasn't directed at you."
"Please don't get angry."
Chen Wei smiled helplessly: "That's the truth, what's there to be angry about?"
“Li Mao, you’re right. The other villagers are innocent.”
"Quantum, do you have any way to save everyone?"
After a moment's thought, Zhao Youliang replied, "Brother Chen, you have a high reputation in our town, so we need your personal intervention."
"I'll go to the broadcasting room now and tell everyone that my spirit has appeared and is giving out free 'evil-repelling and house-protecting talismans' to every household."
"Come pick it up at our barbecue restaurant if you want it."
"As for those who won't come... good advice is useless against a damned ghost, there's nothing we can do about it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wei nodded repeatedly and immediately headed towards the town's broadcasting room.
"Okay, I'll go broadcast it right away!"
"Quantum, hurry up and draw the talisman. There are quite a few households here, young and old!"
Leaving aside the fact that Zhao Youliang's hand cramped up from drawing talismans all day, on the other side, inside the school...
In his office, the head of the Chang family, dressed in pristine white, was receiving guests.
“Brother Ma, I need to accompany my husband on a trip to a foreign land, so I had no choice but to bring you here from the underground palace.”
