Ghost Messenger VS Peeping Demon
Hei Wuchang asked Tian Baozhu why she didn't tell him about her encounter with the peeping monster.
"Why……?"
Tian Baozhu thought about it, and the most important thing was that she subconsciously felt that she could handle it, just like eliminating pests in farming, which she was already very good at.
Also, before Meng Po told her that the eyeball belonged to a peeping demon, she thought she had encountered only a small minion, but she didn't expect it to be a vicious and harassing evil spirit.
"It didn't look that strong. I hit it with a pillow and it retreated back to the ceiling. But now I know it's a peeping demon. It's keeping Meng Po from returning home. I won't let it go."
"I sensed some activity in the building, but it never showed up in my room to cause any trouble, so I ignored it."
Hei Wuchang turned to leave, "I'm going to the ghost market."
"Why go to the ghost market?"
"I'll buy women's clothes to wear. You can hide in my room while I take care of him."
"Senior, are you wearing women's clothes? Pretending to be a girl?" Tian Baozhu thought about this scene for a moment.
"Little sister, I'm here to play with you again~" A pair of eyes with an evil smile slid down from the ceiling, and instigated Tian Baozhu. Turning around, there was a mess of hair. You are already dead.
The imagined scene was so funny that she couldn't help laughing. Oh, she laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.
My colleague, your ideas are sometimes quite unique.
But no matter how she laughed, Tian Baozhu also understood that Hei Wuchang was worried that she, who had no actual combat experience, would not be able to eliminate evil spirits of this level.
"I've spoken to it before. It didn't show up when Old Bai Wuchang was in the room. It only came out when I moved in. I don't think disguises can fool it. It can detect each person's unique aura. Even if I went to your room, Senior, it would still find its way there to harass me. It's like Meng Po changing rooms, but it's still useless."
Hei Wuchang's expression became increasingly tense. He understood that Tian Baozhu's analysis was correct, but it also meant...
"Can you handle it alone?"
"I still have so many powerful weapons. Look at the Soul-Summoning Bell, the Rake, and the Sobering Ring, the special killing weapon for the Impermanence that you gave me, Senior. It will work."
"If something's wrong, run over to my side immediately and I'll support you."
"good!"
Tian Baozhu planned to make a quick decision and not give it a chance to escape. Because if it slipped away, it would have buildings to hide in, making it difficult to catch it again. It would also spy on her when she was not paying attention, making her tired of defending herself.
The battle tonight will decide the outcome.
※※※
At night, Tian Baozhu hugged her pillow and stared at the ceiling, keeping a close watch.
She stared for a long time, rubbing her eyes every once in a while, obviously getting tired of waiting.
"I'm so sleepy. It seems that the eyeball won't come near here tonight. Oh, I'm so tired. I really don't have the energy to hold on any longer. If it really comes out, I'll deal with it then..."
As soon as she finished saying this, Tian Baozhu threw herself on the bed. She looked really tired. Before she had time to adjust her sleeping position, she fell asleep and snored in deep sleep.
All of this was seen by the motionless eyeballs hidden in the ceiling.
At first he was very cautious, suspecting a trick, and tentatively descended to Tian Baozhu's side, tapping a few times before quickly retreating back to the ceiling. But after he tried several times, Tian Baozhu did not respond to his harassment and continued to sleep soundly and peacefully.
It seems that his strategy of draining the opponent's energy is very effective.
Last time, after he said he was leaving, he actually stayed in Tian Baozhu's room, waiting for her to fall asleep. Unfortunately, if this little sister didn't sleep deeply enough, and only slept lightly, she would punch and kick anything that touched her, so he tried to touch her several times but failed.
But this time he was sure. Now that the little sister was too tired and fast asleep to move, it was his turn to do it—hehe, he acted rashly~
Ahhh, if he could still use his mouth, he'd be gasping for air in excitement, licking his lips before savoring the delicious meal. His only regret was being caught, sentenced, and imprisoned. After the death penalty, he was sent to the underworld, where he had to endure the torture of swords and fire. After being destroyed, his bones and other parts had completely merged into this building. He used the last bit of his resentment to maintain this eyeball, and after constantly nourishing himself with resentment, he was finally able to move freely through the skeleton and concrete of this building.
He naturally hated the underworld to the core. The little girl he used to tease hadn't been back in ages, and just when he was feeling bored, a new girl showed up. Who knew where the old Bai Wuchang had gone? Could this little girl be a ghost messenger? He chuckled to himself for a long time. He wanted to double his resentment and return it to her. Today, he would give her a good beating.
He slowly came down from his perch, feeling incredibly graceful.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ding ding.
Ha ha.
Ding ding ding ding.
Where did the noisy ringing sound come from? It disturbed his immersive dream. He wanted to take the next step, but he heard a soft but very firm female voice saying:
"Don't move, stay there."
Haha, how could he possibly listen to you? He insisted on moving! Move, can't move anymore?!
Not only was he unable to move, he found that he was gradually losing the initiative. The ringing of the bell interfered with his thinking, and he felt that his surroundings were becoming hazy.
Tian Baozhu stood up from the side, holding the spirit-calling bell. She didn't dare stop ringing the bell, because she knew that stopping would be like giving the evil spirit back its freedom. She needed to use the ringing to control its movements.
She rang the bell with her left hand and reached under the bed with her right hand to take out the rake that she had temporarily stored in Hei Wuchang's hiding space. The rake was too long and it was a little difficult to get it out from underneath. She was distracted and wanted to use her other hand to help get it, and the bell paused for a while.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
That evil smile is back!
Tian Baozhu immediately let go and rang the bell again at an extremely fast speed! The eyeball immediately stopped abruptly under the control of the bell, and hung in the air, bent, just about to touch the back of Tian Baozhu's hand.
Tian Baozhu felt herself breaking out in a cold sweat. While continuing to ring the bell without delay, she used her right hand to slowly dig the rake out from under the bed. Finally, after moving it a little, she managed to get it sideways into her right hand.
However, the rake can only be swung with the greatest strength by holding it with both hands to completely eliminate the evil spirit of the eyeball. She needs to let go of the spirit bell with her left hand, but stopping the bell means losing control of the eyeball, which is also the most dangerous time.
Tian Baozhu took another look at the killing weapon, the Sobriety Ring, on her right hand. If the enemy really came close to hurt her eyeball, the Sobriety Ring could block it.
Tian Baozhu threw out the soul-calling bell, but the bell stayed in the air and the ringing stopped.
Eyeball came back to his senses without the ringing sound. He understood from Tian Baozhu's series of actions that if Tian Baozhu wanted to deal with him, then he would also let this ignorant little sister suffer!
He wanted to restrict Tian Baozhu's mobility by hurting her eyes, so he rushed towards Tian Baozhu's eyes at a faster and more ferocious speed!
Just as he was about to succeed, Tian Baozhu clenched his right fist and swung it, and a powerful impact instantly pushed him away.
Seeing that he could not get close to Tian Baozhu, he rubbed the muscles behind his eyeballs and let out bursts of shrill laughter, like a devil's sound, in an attempt to interfere with Tian Baozhu's psychology and her judgment of her direction.
The sharp laughter made Tian Baozhu dazed. She held the rake with her right hand and her left hand together. It was almost hitting her eyeball, but it was just a little bit away and passed by.
Tian Baozhu immediately adjusted her direction and swung back with all her strength, but because the swing was too large, her speed was a little slower than before, and the Peeping Demon Eyeball had rushed to her in the blink of an eye -
Oh no!
bite.
A spirit-calling bell rang.
Ding ding.
Ding, ding, ding. Two, three, four times, the spirit-calling bell made a crisp sound as it fell in the air. The tinkling sound, like timely rain, just in time to restrain the eyeball from further attack.
Tian Baozhu took advantage of this momentary opportunity and smashed the eyeball evil spirit with the rake, like hitting a baseball, and instantly knocked him to the ceiling -!
Suddenly, there was a burst of slurry on the ceiling, and then the slurry fell vertically along the ceiling. On the way down, it turned black and powdery, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Ha... huh...
Tian Baozhu let out a long breath.
It was as if everything she had just experienced was a dream. But the uncontrollable trembling in Tian Baozhu's hands told her that it was not a dream. She had successfully completed her first mission as a ghost messenger.
She felt the rake in her hand vibrating at the same frequency as her. After using the rake to successfully kill the eyeball evil spirit, Tian Baozhu felt that the rake and her mind were connected. She was thinking that it would be great if the rake could enter her hidden space, the rake automatically shrank and could be stuffed into the palm-wide gap in the hidden space.
Being recognized by the tool gave Tian Baozhu a great sense of accomplishment, which immediately offset her fatigue after eliminating the evil spirit.
She couldn't wait to knock on Hei Wuchang's door.
※※※
"Look, Senior." Tian Baozhu pulled the rake out of its hiding place. It lay tiny in her hand. Then she commanded, "Restore to its original shape," and the rake obediently returned to its original shape. "I don't need to bother you with storage anymore. Now I can use the rake anytime and put it back easily."
"Isn't it great? Isn't it great?" Tian Baozhu only wanted to boast about the rake.
Compared to her excitement, Hei Wuchang was more concerned about whether Tian Baozhu had successfully gotten rid of the peeping eyeball.
"Of course it went smoothly! Well, if you are worried, why don't you come to my room and take a look."
"No, no need. I won't go." When Hei Wuchang heard Tian Baozhu asking him to go in and check, he began to stutter again.
Tian Baozhu slapped his head. Yeah, he was a bit old-fashioned in some ways. "Then why don't you just stand at my door? If it's not completely wiped out, you'll be able to sense its presence, right?"
"Okay, I'll check at the door."
Tian Baozhu watched Hei Wuchang walk a few steps to the door of her room. She used to think the door was quite high, but now with Hei Wuchang standing in front of it, it actually seemed lower.
This was the door to her room, but just because another person was standing outside the door, the feeling was different. Tian Baozhu felt very strange.
His shadow fell on her, and Tian Baozhu realized for the first time that Hei Wuchang was quite tall. When they looked up at the ceiling together, she could see that he was more than a head taller than her. He was not as thin as she had imagined, and his strong jawline revealed distinct masculine features.
He turned around and spoke to Tian Baozhu: "I've checked, and there's indeed no trace of it. You can sleep peacefully."
Hei Wuchang's tense expression softened at this moment. His promise made Tian Baozhu feel safe.
"Well, that's good, thank you, senior. Let's go tell Meng Po the good news tomorrow. Then, good night!"
Tian Baozhu asked Hei Wuchang to leave and quickly closed her door. Her heart was pounding behind the door.
What was wrong with her? Why did her heart feel relieved, yet also pounding, when she suddenly realized that Hei Wuchang wasn't as fragile as she'd imagined, but rather more capable and responsible than she'd imagined?
Huhu-hu--she took several deep breaths.
Calm down, Tian Baozhu. This should be the legendary suspension bridge effect, a natural physiological phenomenon. Tian Baozhu and Hei Wuchang are your partners, so you can rest assured.
Her mind revisited his strong jawline and the beautiful almond-shaped eyes he had revealed when he combed his hair on one side in the bathroom.
Ahhhhh, stop thinking about it! She buried her head in the pillow and forced herself to start memorizing.
