"Uh, buddy, mind if I ask, how much longer until we get there?"
The roads in the Capital City twisted and turned endlessly, and after a few rounds, Wu Liang was completely lost.
"Oh, actually, once you turn, this parking lot is all about drinking." Jin Chenghua said with a serious face.
As soon as he spoke, the car rushed into the parking lot, and the road they ca from mysteriously vanished.
But he didn’t stop the car, rely pulled out his phone, tapped a couple of tis, and tossed it to Wu Liang without looking back, still flooring the accelerator.
"Huinan Parking Lot is covered by a supernatural magnetic field, initial estimate shows a paranormal event, eight signs of life before the coverage, please handle quickly."
A chanical female voice on the phone sent Wu Liang into a daze.
What the heck is this? Citywide real-ti monitoring? And what’s a supernatural magnetic field?
Before Wu Liang could voice his confusion to Jin Chenghua, he saw a line of differently dressed people huddled and shivering in a corner not far from the car.
Upon closer inspection, there were exactly eight people.
"Don’t be afraid! I’m here to rescue you!"
Jin Chenghua rolled down the window and yelled towards that group of victims, whether they understood his poor Mandarin was another matter entirely.
But it was evident that seeing soone drive in and speak to them cald their previously trembling emotions sowhat.
One of the burly n even mustered the courage to shout, "Watch out behind the car!"
Huh? Behind the car?
Wu Liang quickly turned back, seeing a blurry black shadow moving towards them, covering an area of about ten square ters.
He instinctively thought to use Mist Ghost’s ability to obscure the vision, then use the [Breaking Blade] to try slicing the shadow.
But Jin Chenghua in the driver’s seat moved even quicker, yanking a peculiar stick from his pocket and striking the steering wheel, mumbling, "Witness the miracle!"
Wu Liang: "?"
Bro, with your blonde hair and blue eyes, shouldn’t you be casting sothing like "Avada Kedavra" instead of shouting "Witness the miracle"? Feels like a spring festival magic show!
Before Wu Liang could actually voice his sarcasm, he suddenly found himself inexplicably moved to the passenger seat of another car in the corner.
Jin Chenghua was also sitting on this side’s driver seat.
The BMW that was originally covered by the shadow was now empty of any occupants.
Vroom—
The shadow fell, and the entire BMW turned into a solid iron pancake—unbelievable to think what would have happened if they were still inside at the ti.
"Yingzi! This is ’Big Flattened Living Person’!"
Jin Chenghua explained to Wu Liang with a bright smile, showing off the stick in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, it was not just any stick, but sothing akin to a magic wand from the Harry Potter movies, even more exquisite.
"Oh no! My car!"
After showing off, he suddenly realized his car had turned from a high-emission vehicle into zero pollution, ready to be weighed and recycled at scrap iron prices—the smile finally vanishing from his face.
Opening the car door, Jin Chenghua pointed the magic wand at the shadow in anger.
"Avada..."
Woah! You’re serious, dude? Are you sure there won’t be copyright issues?
"Shut up!"
The next second, Jin Chenghua’s half-spoken spell in a British accent suddenly turned into a quirky version of neon Japanese, too much to unpack that Wu Liang almost forgot to take out the [Ghost Compendium] and check it.
But as he chanted the broken spell, a jet of dark green light shot from the tip of the wand.
The green light shot towards the shadow, but upon contact, it did not encounter any resistance, instead passing through as if it encountered a real shadow, finally hitting the wall.
In a blink, a crater the size of a head was blown into the white wall, clearly showing the power of the green light.
"Hmm? That’s odd, it has no substance?"
Wu Liang frowned. Since the BMW was squashed by the shadow, it should have had so substance, but the green light passed through so easily?
Finally, he ca to his senses and took out the [Ghost Compendium] to search for information on this Fierce Ghost.
The eerie shadow seed to be agitated by the abstract Life-taking Curse, growing even larger to cover half of the level of the parking lot.
Seeing it about to slam down again, Jin Chenghua quickly lifted his wand and swung it towards the group of victims.
Under the effect of "Big Flattened Living Person," they were all moved behind him for shelter.
"Mamimamihong!"
Another spell so abstract that Wu Liang almost slapped the [Ghost Compendium] on Jin Chenghua’s shiny forehead, as Jin Chenghua drew a crude circle in the air with the wand.
The next mont, a golden phantasmal bell-shaped barrier covered everyone, and the shadow struck it heavily.
Dong—
The phantasmal barrier rang as if real, making everyone’s ears throb painfully.
Fortunately, the shadow’s heavy blow didn’t harm them, being blocked by the bell, except Jin Chenghua’s face turned a shade paler.
"Yingzi! Go find its true form!"
After probing, Jin Chenghua found that the Fierce Ghost couldn’t harm him or the victims for now, so he shouted to Wu Liang.
He Zhan had told him that the Awakened arriving, called Shadow, was especially skilled at hiding and finding a Fierce Ghost’s true form.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liang imdiately responded: "Got it! Found it!"
Jin Chenghua: "?"
Bro, no matter how good you are at finding a Fierce Ghost’s true form, you can’t just say you’ve found it by looking at your palm without moving, can you?
He had no idea that Wu Liang hadn’t found the true form of the Fierce Ghost.
But had found the matching Fierce Ghost information and its weakness in the [Ghost Compendium]!
[Shadow Ghost]
[Discovery Date: Disaster Calendar Year 5, August 1]
[Location Discovered: By Jin Chenghua inside Huinan Parking Lot, Mingyang District, Huaxia Capital City]
[Habit: Hides in dark, dry places, casting shadows by being behind light sources, shadows can be either virtual or real, enjoys using violent strikes to torture living humans to death]
[Weakness: Excessively bright light sources can suppress the shadows it casts, and its true form becos extrely weak at that ti]
"Magician! Can you get a big light to illuminate the entire parking lot?" Wu Liang shouted to Jin Chenghua.
If he had that ability, it would be great; otherwise, Wu Liang would have to break into all the cars in the parking lot, start all the high beams, and light it up.
Upon hearing the request, although Jin Chenghua was puzzled, he nodded, indicating he could do it.
Then, with an expression of disbelief from Wu Liang, he raised his magic wand high and shouted loudly:
"God said, ’Let there be light!’"
Wu Liang and the victims behind him: "?"
Bro, your faith is a bit mixed...
