"What little ghost, that’s your kid!" Liao Yong glared fiercely at Zhou Xingjian.
Yang Kai said with a grin, "Don’t worry, as long as Glasses sets up the talisman properly, even if a vengeful ghost cos, it won’t be able to harm you."
Yang Kai’s words weren’t wrong; the talisman arranged by Wei Shuxian was called Landmine Fire. Although the strength of each Cinnabar Talisman he drew was low, once the Talisman Formation was complete, dealing with a common vengeful ghost was no problem at all.
However, including you, everyone overlooked a critical point—a very important one—today is August 16th!
August 16th is when the moon is at its fullest in the year, and it can also be said to be the ti when the moon is closest to Earth.
Tonight, influenced by the moonlight, all extrely yin and malevolent entities will have their powers enhanced to varying degrees.
Ordinary people sitting in front of their hos and admiring the moon is fine, but they absolutely shouldn’t enter remote, quiet places seldom visited by people, because at this ti, sothing hair-raising is bound to appear!
"Glasses, are you done yet?" Yang Kai suddenly felt the air around him grow colder, "I feel that little ghost is coming."
"Strange, I clearly prepared the Cinnabar Talismans before coming out, so why are there a few missing?"
Wei Shuxian rummaged through his backpack and discovered that a few Cinnabar Talismans needed to construct the Landmine Fire Talisman Formation were missing.
"Which talismans are missing?" Zong Wangyue asked. If worst cos to worst, we can draw them on the spot.
Drawing Cinnabar Talismans is a skill that all core mbers of the supernatural detective society must possess.
"Those few talismans are the ones I specifically requested from Old Shu; his Cinnabar Talismans are sowhat more effective than ours."
"Is one of them orange?" Liao Yong had already finished bundling the Willow Branches and turned to ask Wei Shuxian.
"Ah, yes, do you have it?"
Liao Yong pointed at Yang Kai: "Before we set off, he suddenly needed to use the restroom and couldn’t find any paper in a hurry, so he took a few from your bag."
Wei Shuxian felt like throttling Yang Kai, but at that mont, he could only bear with it. He quickly took out a few backup talismans from his bag and filled in the final missing spots.
Just as Wei Shuxian squatted down to prepare to lay out the Talisman Paper, a weird sound suddenly ca from all directions: "Ga... ga..."
"What’s that noise?"
When Yang Kai and the others heard this sound, a cold chill suddenly erged from deep within them, making them shiver uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a gust of chilly wind blew in from outside the door, rapidly sweeping up the talisman that Wei Shuxian had laid out.
"What’s going on..."
"Ah!"
As Yang Kai was about to ask a question, Zong Wangyue suddenly let out a cry and quickly retreated several steps.
"What happened?"
Wei Shuxian gave up on arranging the Talisman Formation; he couldn’t rember how to place the dozens of Talisman Papers accurately and neatly at the required points in such a short ti. He quickly got up and walked to Zong Wangyue’s side, peering past him towards the door.
At first look, Wei Shuxian felt his hair stand on end!
Outside, the moon was very bright, almost like a large round energy-saving lamp hanging in the sky. The moonlight was not harsh, pouring down from the sky, illuminating half the corridor.
And at that mont, a very small infant was slowly crawling in the middle of the corridor. To its left was darkness, while on its right, the moonlight lit it up, naked, crawling very slowly.
But that wasn’t the main point; the point was that its face was wearing a smile!
A malevolent smile that would make anyone who saw it feel uncomfortable all over!
Wei Shuxian also stepped back in, signaling to everyone nearby: "Be careful, that thing has appeared!"
Although they couldn’t start the Talisman Formation, Wei Shuxian and the other three still took up their pre-arranged positions, each standing in one of the four directions around Liu Qing and Zhou Xingjian.
"Gaah... Gaah..."
The bizarre sound ca again!
Before long, the ghost infant slowly crawled in from outside the doorway. As soon as it appeared, Liu Qing let out a piercing scream and clung to Zhou Xingjian, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Zhou Xingjian’s face, already sowhat pale, turned deathly white the instant he saw the ghost infant crawl in!
"You, you, you, you guys, hurry up and grab it, grab it, don’t let it co over!"
There was no need for Zhou Xingjian’s superfluous words, as Wei Shuxian and the others naturally knew. They had assud that the ghost infant would hide and strike unexpectedly, but had not anticipated that it would crawl in so boldly and openly.
Yang Kai and Liao Yong exchanged a glance, and both dashed out with perfect tacit understanding from the left and right sides of Liu Qing!
In the perspective of Yang Kai and the others, although the ghost infant looked malevolent, it was after all just an infant, lacking a sound mind, and definitely could not outmatch an adult. Therefore, without giving it a second thought, Yang Kai slapped the already prepared cinnabar talisman onto the head of the ghost infant!
However, Yang Kai’s attempt to stick the cinnabar talisman ca to nothing!
"Eh, where did it go?"
As Yang Kai turned to look for the ghost infant, he heard a low shout from behind him from Wei Shuxian, "On your shoulder!"
Suddenly turning his head, Yang Kai was horrified to discover the ghost infant opening its mouth full of tusks and viciously biting down toward his head!
"Scram!"
The willow staff in Liao Yong’s hand appeared just in ti, forcefully knocking the ghost infant off Yang Kai’s back.
However, with Liao Yong’s strike, the ghost infant suddenly disappeared right under everyone’s watchful eyes.
"What’s going on, how did it disappear?" Zhou Xingjian exclaid anxiously.
This was the first ti Yang Kai had encountered such a situation, and he turned to ask his companions, "Did any of you see where that thing went?"
As Zong Wangyue and Wei Shuxian began searching around, Liao Yong let out another roar and swung the willow branch staff over Wei Shuxian’s head!
Wei Shuxian quickly ducked, catching sight of the ghost infant being swept away by the willow branch staff once again with the corner of his eye.
This ti, Wei Shuxian saw with his own eyes how the ghost infant vanished before it even hit the ground.
You must understand, the empty laboratory was well-lit; not only was the lighting bright, all six people had dropped potion into their eyes, allowing everyone to see the ghost infant clearly.
Yet, under the gaze of six pairs of eyes, it disappeared into thin air!
"Be careful, this thing is too sinister," said Yang Kai, who also beca serious, putting aside his usual playful deanor.
"Indeed, this ghost infant is a bit too troubleso," Zong Wangyue remarked, holding talisman paper in both hands, his eyes constantly roving around.
"Gaah... Gaah..."
The strange sound appeared once more!
Only this ti, the ghost infant did not show itself.
Where was it?
As everyone was searching around, Zhou Xingjian suddenly pointed towards the door, his throat as if tied in a knot, unable to speak.
Following Zhou Xingjian’s pointing finger, Wei Shuxian and the others looked in that direction, and upon discerning what it was, everyone involuntarily inhaled a sharp breath of cold air!
Outside the doorway, a giant baby the size of a large truck was crouching!
At that mont, it just happened to turn its head and look at the six people with a faint...smile!
