In just a few steps, Wang Yao felt as if he had experienced two different worlds. The temperature suddenly dropped, and the shouts of the police officers seemed to be blocked by a barrier that had suddenly appeared, becoming blurry and difficult to hear.
There was a yellow warning tape on the ground downstairs, curled up in the rubble. The bright color meant to be a warning seemed to have turned dark and was not visible unless you looked closely.
Near the warning tape was a safety helmet and a pool of blackened blood, which was not very clear in the darkness. Not far from the bloodstain was a half-new, half-old shoe, which may have been left by the construction worker who jumped off the building.
It seems that despite knowing the place was haunted, people still managed to remove the body, but in their haste, the scene wasn't properly cleaned up.
"Father, Mother, it's so cold!" Hui Shuo said, shivering.
Wang Yao didn't answer. He looked up at the haunted building in front of him and began to regret not having practiced the two immortal arts, "Body Tempering" and "Spiritual Awareness." Now that he was downstairs in the haunted building, finding Lin Yazhi was a real problem.
To be honest, there was only one reason why he didn't cultivate "Body Tempering" or "Spiritual Perception": he was afraid of pain. Before he transmigrated, he had read many online novels and knew that "Body Tempering" usually brought a lot of pain, and cultivating the "Spiritual Perception" of the six senses was equally difficult.
So he felt lazy. Although he knew that cultivating these two immortal techniques would bring many benefits, he just couldn't make up his mind. Looking at the dark and gloomy ghost building, he felt somewhat troubled.
He stood there, mentally reviewing the immortal techniques he had learned. Just as he was about to step into the building, a woman's laughter suddenly rang in his ears. This laughter contained no joy whatsoever; it was like the howl of a wild beast, making his heart tighten.
"Amitabha..." Hui Shuo had already started chanting the sutra without stopping, but he had his hands clasped together in front of his chest and forgot to take out the wooden fish. Wang Yao knew that he was chanting the sutra out of fear, rather than because he was triggered by something, like when he saw Mo Luopo, he was chanting the sutra unconsciously.
The woman's emotionless laughter continued to echo around, when suddenly, a shrill male scream followed. It was Huang, the constable, who had regained his senses after Wang Yao stopped "using" him and found himself somehow ended up in the haunted building.
He was terrified and screamed as he ran toward the alley entrance. Just then, Wang Yao saw a white shadow flash past from the ghost building and rush toward the fleeing Huang Butou.
With a thought, Wang Yao unleashed the immortal technique "Summoning Thunder." Having been educated in online novels, he knew that thunder magic was most effective against ghosts and the like, so he decided to give it a try first.
As the immortal technique "Summoning Lightning" was used, Wang Yao heard a loud "crack" in mid-air. The white figure suddenly stopped, swayed, and turned around to look at Wang Yao.
Wang Yao looked closely and saw that the white figure was indeed Lin Yazhi. However, this Lin Yazhi had changed a lot from the female ghost he had seen before. First of all, her face, which used to look like it was covered with white powder, had turned bluish-black, as if it had been deeply stained by some plant juice.
Then there were those eyes that had once looked at him timidly, but now they were filled with hostility. Not only were they not afraid, but they were staring at him fiercely, as if they had some deep-seated hatred for him, which made Wang Yao feel a chill in his heart.
Before Wang Yao could think further, Lin Yazhi suddenly let out a sharp "howl," turned around, and pounced on him. Without hesitation, Wang Yao summoned lightning again, and another loud "crack" echoed from the sky.
Lin Yazhi paused, looked up at the sky, and seeing nothing unusual, let out another "roar" and pounced on Wang Yao. This time, Wang Yao was dumbfounded. "Summoning Lightning" didn't work. He hurriedly used "Controlling Earth" to retreat backward, while simultaneously calling up the immortal technique "Electric Snake".
Since thunder and lightning are inseparable, and "summoning thunder" is useless, let's see if "electric snake" will have an effect. Unexpectedly, after he invoked the immortal technique "electric snake" in his mind, what came out next was exactly the same as invoking the system: the sound of a typewriter.
"Tap tap tap..."
"The Celestial Electric Serpent Technique needs to be used in the thunder generated by lightning."
Holy crap, these "Lightning Summoning" and "Electric Snake" are actually a set of combined immortal techniques, and they have to be used together! Wang Yao never expected that he had studied these newly mastered immortal techniques in the inn in Ziqiang County, but he had only looked at the system introduction and could not possibly have tried them out in the inn.
Unexpectedly, there were so many intricacies involved in actually using it. He was momentarily stunned, and Lin Yazhi rushed up so quickly, almost in front of him. It was too late for Wang Yao to use his magic again or to reactivate "Lightning Summoning" or "Electric Serpent."
In a panic, Wang Yao pulled out the Awakening Token and struck Lin Yazhi hard. There were "crack" sounds, like firecrackers exploding sporadically. Lin Yazhi screamed, and as the Awakening Token struck her, wisps of black smoke dissipated from her body.
In an instant, most of the bluish-black color on Lin Yazhi's face faded, revealing a deathly pale complexion. Her body trembled and froze in place. Upon seeing this, Wang Yao was overjoyed. If he had known that the Awakening Order was so effective against this female ghost, why the hell would he have used lightning!
Wang Yao immediately raised the Awakening Token and rushed forward, ready to continue beating Lin Yazhi. However, he saw Lin Yazhi move and dodge into the ghost building. Wang Yao could not let her escape, so he also gripped the Awakening Token tightly and chased after her.
