Qi Mingyu's severed hand grew back, and Wan Jiao naturally had to get down to business—interrogating that "thing".
Because of Wan Jiao's "net," that "thing" has revealed its true form, appearing as a seven or eight-year-old child, exuding a palpable killing intent.
Yu Shi stared at it for a moment, then said in fear, "Ghost Servant."
When Wan Jiao saw that Yu Shiyi actually knew about Ghost Servant, she said to him, "Go on."
Yu Shi nodded and continued, “Ancient books record that so-called ghost servants are children who were tragically killed by their closest relatives and then refined. The first step is that when they are buried, the coffin must be red, and five black evil infant statues with resentment soaring to the sky must be placed inside. After forty-nine days, the coffin is opened, and the child is fed with the blood of their closest relatives, and then they can obtain a powerful ghost servant without consciousness.”
As soon as Yu Shi finished speaking, Wan Jiao's spiritual energy surged in her palm, and after about two or three seconds, a red coffin appeared out of thin air.
Wan Jiao: "Open the coffin."
Yu Shi glanced at the ghost servants controlled by Wan Jiao's net, then at the red coffin, and quickly stopped Zhen Bufan and the others who were about to open the coffin, "You can't open it."
Zhen Bufan and the others: "???"
The doubt was all too obvious.
Yu Shiyi explained, "The red coffin is where the ghost servant rests and recuperates. Opening the coffin now is equivalent to helping the ghost servant recover."
Records about ghost servants have always been scarce in the metaphysical world. If it weren't for the fact that Feng Nanshan, the founder of Nanshan Temple, had personally encountered a ghost servant, eliminated it, and left behind notes, Wan Jiao would have been completely unaware of it.
Seeing that Yu Shiyi knew so much about the Ghost Servant, she became interested and said, "Go on."
Yu Shiyi was a little unsure of Wan Jiao's thoughts, but after only a moment's hesitation, he said again, "If we don't open the coffin, Captain Wan, you can immediately destroy the ghost servant. If we open the coffin, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Wan Jiao gave a meaningful "hmm," then changed the subject and asked Yu Shiyi, "Who is your master?"
Yu Shi was dumbfounded.
The rest of the people were also dumbfounded.
Who was your teacher?
Is it really appropriate to ask such a trivial question at a time like this?
"Captain Wan, let's deal with this ghost servant first," Yu Shiyi said in a very soft voice.
"Open the coffin first," Wan Jiao insisted. "It will be easier to handle once the coffin is open."
“Captain Wan, I can see you’re very strong, but…” Before Yu Shiyi could finish speaking, Wan Jiao interrupted him seriously, “Dealing with a ghost servant isn’t difficult, but if it’s gone, how will the person behind it reappear?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Shi's eyes widened. "Captain Wan, this ghost servant is already extremely ferocious and difficult to deal with. The person behind it will only be more powerful. We are probably no match for it. We should be careful."
This time, Wan Jiao ignored Yu Shiyi and directly ordered Lu Heng and the others, "Open the coffin."
"Yes, Captain."
Yu Shiyi tried to stop him, but Ji Zitong stopped him, saying, "Captain Yu, please obey orders."
Obeying orders is the most important "rule" of the Special Security Bureau.
Yu Shi frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally acquiesced to letting them open the coffin.
Just as Yu Shiyi had said, as soon as the red coffin was opened, the ghost servant, who had been scorched and wounded all over by Wan Jiao's "net," immediately recovered to his peak condition and broke free of the net. His sharp teeth and claws were even longer than when they first saw him.
It even let out a terrifying "roar"!
That voice made everyone's soul tremble, except for Wan Jiao.
That stems from humanity's deepest fear of ghost servants.
No one can remain calm when faced with the threat of death.
"We're doomed! This ghost servant looks so fierce. We're probably going to die here today."
"Damn it, is this woman crazy? Captain Yu already said we can't open the red coffin, why is she so stubborn?"
"Wan Jiao, if I die here today, the Ouyang family will never let you go."
"..."
As the voices continued to come, Wan Jiao coldly swept her gaze over one of the team members, and almost squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth, "Ouyang Xu, you'd better remember your words."
Ouyang Xu was quite frightened by Wan Jiao's gaze and the imposing aura emanating from her.
He instinctively shrank back. "What...what do you mean?"
Wan Jiao ignored him.
Her attention was entirely focused on the ghost servant. When it was about to strike, she formed a hand seal and used the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder to deal with it.
Thunder rumbled.
The ghost servant screamed "Awooo!" as it was struck.
In no time, it turned to ash and disappeared into the air.
The crowd, who had just been quite frightened, were now bewildered: "???"
What's going on?
Such a powerful ghost servant, just like that, gone?
Is Wan Jiao really that amazing?
Holy crap, could it be that someone is secretly helping her and she's just putting on an act?
But these ideas were quickly proven wrong.
Because Zhen Bufan spoke up, saying in a heavy tone, "Nine... Heavens... Profound... Thunder."
"Is it the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder?" Yu Shiyi also asked.
Wan Jiao remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Immediately, everyone was filled with excitement.
In the realm of metaphysics, all practitioners, regardless of their level of cultivation, know that only a level ten metaphysician can summon the Nine Heavens Thunder. This is a rule set by the Heavenly Dao, and there have been no exceptions since ancient times.
Now that Wan Jiao has attracted the Nine Heavens Thunder, her strength is already obvious.
"You...you're a level ten mystical arts master?"
"Holy crap, the metaphysical world hasn't produced a level 10 metaphysical master in many years. How did you, a female metaphysical master, manage to do that?"
