Chapter 222 Get out here!
In the end, the face that truly belonged to Lu Jin finally managed to take over.
He was drenched in sweat, his body convulsing, and looked at Chen Yuepo, shouting with all his might:
"Master Shen... Master Shen! Save me, save me!"
"The talisman you gave me before prevented this ghost from completely devouring my soul, so... it took over my body and... pinned me down inside!"
His face contorted in disgust and pain, and he looked as if he was about to vomit: "He...he stinks! He stinks so badly! Get me out of here!"
Before the words were even finished, the face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, and the demon's consciousness launched a frenzied counterattack.
Lu Jin's expression hardened, and the demon clutched its head, letting out an angry roar:
"Shut up! You ant!"
Upon seeing this, Shen Yuepo's eyes sharpened.
Now!
She abandoned her sword, leaving the short sword hovering in front of her, its golden light still emanating and protecting her.
Shen Yuepo closed her eyes, her black hair flying, and instantly formed the Seven Star Soul-Suppressing Seal with her hands. The spiritual power within her body surged wildly and gathered at her fingertips.
A cold, grand incantation echoed throughout the ward, carrying an irresistible power of expulsion and purification:
"The universe shines brightly, and the soul is revealed!"
"You filthy and despicable creature, how dare you be so arrogant!"
"Star seals are the locks, truthful words are the boundaries—"
Shen Yuepo suddenly opened her eyes, pushed her spiritual power towards "Lu Jin," and then shouted:
"Get out here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light, reddish-gold with a hint of moon white, instantly struck Lu Jin's mind.
"ah!"
A piercing, ghostly wail erupted.
A dark, ghostly figure was forcefully blasted out from the top of Lu Jin's head.
Lu Jin's body, like a puppet with its strings cut, rolled its eyes and fell straight backward.
After being struck, the ghostly figure became blurred and its aura weakened considerably, clearly indicating that it had suffered severe injuries.
It glared venomously at Shen Yuepo, seemingly wanting to utter some harsh words, but when it sensed the golden light of the short sword locking onto Shen Yuepo again, it decisively abandoned any such thought.
"Whoosh!"
The ghostly figure suddenly shrank, transforming into a wisp of black smoke. It found a crevice in the corner of the ward where it had previously secretly laid down a layer of yin energy, and without hesitation, it slipped inside, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Shen Yuepo took a step, instinctively wanting to give chase.
But when her gaze fell upon Lu Jin's pale face on the ground, whose three souls and seven spirits were almost scattered due to the fierce struggle and forced separation just now, she stopped in her tracks.
Perhaps by chasing, we can catch up with the severely wounded demon and eradicate it completely.
However, if Lu Jin's soul, which could dissipate at any moment, is not stabilized immediately, even if his physical body is unharmed, what will wake up will only be a living dead person whose soul has left his body and whose intelligence has been completely lost.
Some even die from their soul leaving their body.
Shen Yuepo glanced at the direction of the barrier erected by Feng Jin. It was a gray and silent place, but the battle there must have been even more dangerous.
She took a deep breath and made a quick decision.
With a flick of her wrist, several gentle soul-stabilizing talismans flew out and affixed to Lu Jin's brow, chest, and other locations.
She quickly stepped forward, helped Lu Jin up, and placed her palm against his back.
The spiritual energy carefully combed through his almost disintegrating soul, temporarily stabilizing it within his body.
After a moment, the ashen color on Lu Jin's face faded slightly, and her breathing became more even.
The three souls and seven spirits were finally temporarily stabilized within the body, no longer in danger of dispersing.
Shen Yuepo withdrew his spiritual power and placed two powerful protective talismans on his chest.
Lu Jin's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she woke up prematurely.
Lu Jin suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils initially unfocused and blank.
Immediately, their gazes met those of the indifferent Shen Yuepo.
"Master Shen?!"
The next moment, Lu Jin suddenly burst into tears like a child who had suffered a great injustice, her mouth wide open and she wailed loudly, completely losing all composure.
"Master! I told you! I told you my birth chart was weak! Look! Look!" He gestured wildly, speaking incoherently.
"That thing was pitch black and smelly, and it was about to crawl into my body! I... I felt a wave of dizziness, and all I remember is that the amulet you gave me was still burning hot in my pocket."
"I didn't have time to think, I just grabbed it and swallowed it instinctively!"
He suddenly hiccuped and continued to sob:
"Then I felt a thud, like I was locked in a dark room inside my own body."
"I can see that ghostly thing using my body to act in front of my family, pretending to be obedient in front of my dad, and even... even going to two meetings at the company!"
"But I can't do anything! I can't shout, I can't move a finger, like a spectator nailed to their seat, watching helplessly as it ruins my body and schemes against my family!"
He became more and more frightened as he spoke, his whole body trembling violently: "If it weren't for the talisman, after I swallowed it, it seemed to turn into a thin layer of golden light that protected the last bit of myself in my mind."
"I...I've been completely digested by it, leaving not a trace! Master, I'm going crazy inside, I'm scared and it stinks!"
Shen Yuepo: "..."
She looked at Lu Jin's pitiful state and was speechless for a moment.
Is it fair to say he was incredibly unlucky, or did he stumble upon a stroke of wit and luck?
It's true that having a weak constitution is a given, and it's also true that it attracts evil spirits.
But in the face of life and death, he swallowed the talisman in a panic, and by sheer luck, he managed to combine the talisman's protective power with his own soul in the most direct way, forming a golden bell shield on the soul level.
This prevents the possessing evil spirit from completely digesting his consciousness; it can only suppress it, not completely erase it.
This led to the scene where the evil spirit and Lu Jin's remnant soul fiercely fought for control within his body, revealing a fatal flaw.
You could say he's lucky, but his constitution and circumstances are truly unlucky.
You could say he was unlucky, but despite being double-dealing with Yun Jingyan and that evil spirit, he somehow managed to save his life in this unbelievable way, and it even became the key to breaking the deadlock.
Seeing that Shen Yuepo remained silent, only looking at her with a slightly complicated expression, Lu Jin cried even harder.
He tried to get up using both his hands and feet, but because his soul had just stabilized and his body was weak, he fell back down.
He didn't care about his image anymore, and with snot and tears streaming down his face, he moved forward, opening his arms to hug Chen Yuepo's legs, shouting:
"No! Master! I'm scared! That ghost is definitely still after me! The hospital isn't safe, and neither is my home!"
“These past few days… no! For the time being! I absolutely must stay at your house! I can only feel at ease when I'm by your side!”
"I'm so sorry to trouble you. I'll pay ten times the rent, utilities, and food! No, a hundred times! Please, please let me stay for a while! Waaah..."
With quick eyes and feet, Shen Yuepo subtly took a half-step back just before he was about to touch the hem of her skirt.
She rubbed her throbbing temples.
The young master Lu in front of us has just escaped death and is still in shock, so it's understandable that he's emotionally distraught.
But his desperate act of clinging to someone's leg, begging for shelter, and his deafening cries…
It's really... noisy.
