ren't on good terms, so it was unusual for us to eat together. This was our first time. I touched my nose and said awkwardly, “.... Didn’t you just ask me out for a meal”She sighed and said, "Oh~ nowa...We all thought something was going to happen!

Who knew Sister Lu froze for a moment, then suddenly pulled the person behind the curtain out with one hand. She turned around and performed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming them heavily onto the carpet. Then she twisted their arm and pressed her knee against their lower back.

Look at that posture, he's about to pull out the handcuffs.

My mouth dropped open in surprise. Sister Lu looked to be quite old! Although she was the sister of Director Dao, she seemed at least ten or twenty years older than him. Her figure had also put on a bit of weight, typical of middle-aged women.

It must weigh around 150 to 60 pounds, almost the size of two of me! Amazingly agile and skillful, precise and merciless!

"My sister's a trained fighter," Knife whispered quietly behind me.

I swallowed nervously. Maybe I shouldn't argue with her. She was such a formidable woman, no wonder her husband had been possessed by evil spirits and even feared her.

Sister Lu subdued the man and then was stunned for a moment before angrily roaring outside the door: "How did you take care of him! You haven't given him anything to eat for two days! How could he become like this!"

I hid behind Ninth Senior Brother, peeking out from the gap between his arms.

That's still human... The one being pinned down by Sister Lu was now sprawled on the carpet, limbs outstretched like a withered lizard.

And his face was pressed into the ground, his mouth open, his eyes dilated and rolling back in their sockets. He looked shrunken and gaunt.

The guards outside the door dared not go in, only squeezing at the edge of the door to reply: “We have placed the meals and water in the room on time, but the boss doesn't know which corner he is hiding in. We don't dare to startle him, so we put down the food and water and left.”

These bodyguards don't even know how much they're being paid, and they dare to enter this room

If it were up to me, I would have left long ago.

The corner of this room was filled with black mist, making it particularly dark and absorbing all the light.

And this cold, dark aura wasn't like anything a normal person would inhabit; it felt just like when I fell into a viper's nest.

My father built two small lofts for me and my sister, not only out of sentimentality, but also because he wanted to separate the "functional areas". The downstairs is for bookshelves and computers, while upstairs is where we live.

Moreover, the bedrooms are furnished with warm wooden furniture. There are no composite boards, paint, chemical fibers carpets, etc. The fabrics used are mostly silk and pure cotton, creating a very suitable environment for women to live in.

The air in this room doesn't circulate well. A strange smell emanates from it, with a hint of decay. I wonder if these people can even detect it.

Even Lu Jie wrinkled her nose at the strange smell on the master's body. She picked him up and threw him onto the bed.

Daozong whispered, "This man is my brother-in-law. His behavior is very strange now... I never thought he would become like this, resembling the corpses dug up in the photos."

I am very curious about what was unearthed, but now that the jade mine has collapsed, the soil can bury too many secrets. Even if it is dug open again, all the people present at the time are dead, and it is impossible to restore the scene or ask the parties involved.

As the brother-in-law of the Knife General, who is a mine owner, he must know something.

But now, where does he look like a human

He was thrown onto the bed and immediately sprang up, rolling over like a frog with his limbs bent and pressed against the mattress. His neck hung at an unnatural angle, as if broken, and saliva dribbled down his cheeks. He appeared extremely alert and agitated.

This look is very aggressive, only Sister Lu wouldn't be afraid. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to enter at all.

"To examine him, we need to get him calm first, otherwise we can't ask him anything," Old Man said in a low voice.

Sister Lu winked at the two bodyguards and whispered, "Come on, hold him down!"

Two bodyguards glanced at each other, hesitating to move forward. Sister Lu angrily shouted, "Come here and hold him down! Don't want the wages Don't want to work in this line anymore"

She was the one in power, her words carried weight. The two bodyguards, looking apprehensive, entered cautiously. Suddenly, the male host opened his mouth and roared, as if shouting something, his voice a broken, unpleasant rasp that frightened the bodyguards into stillness.

Liang Xiaoge snuck out of my bag and climbed up my hair all the way to my shoulders, tugging on it.

Seeing him trek so far, I felt a bit guilty. I reached out and gently placed him near his collar, letting him find a safe spot to stay.

"Little Princess, stay away from him. This man seems possessed by evil spirits. There are too many wizards near the border. They say that the whole peninsula outside the southwest region is ruled by a man called 'Dragon King' who commands these sorcerers... I don't know if they touched something belonging to the Dragon King, but this is how they're being punished..." Liang Xiao whispered in my ear.

"Dragon King Is he a dragon or a human" I asked.

If it were before, I wouldn't ask such a silly question, but after seeing the Qia and Yinglong with my own eyes, I feel that my worldview has been completely refreshed.

"He seems to be an old man... I've only heard about him, and I don't know if he's an enemy of Master Mu... Why don't you try giving him a talisman" Little Liang whispered.

"How do you try it" I reflexively reached for my bag, inside which lay a talisman that had somehow appeared there.

Although I can still barely understand some Taoist symbols, I have no idea what those Shamanic symbols mean.

Liang Xiaogē pointed to me and said, “This one is for breaking curses, this one is the Five Elements Fire, and this one is for nailing down Three Corpse…”

"Stop, stop, stop! I can't remember that many. Just tell me which one to use, and I'll write a note later and stick it on. That way I'll know what each one is for!" My cheeks were flushed.

What kind of witch's wife is this So uncultured and incompetent, wouldn't she be ridiculed to death

"Let's try this talisman first. If the opponent is powerful, this talisman might be destroyed by him. But if he's just an average joe, putting on a show, it should scare him away." Liang Xiao suggested.

"But I heard that the power of a talisman depends on the cultivator's skill. What cultivation do I have" I hesitated, clutching the talisman in my hand.

"Talismans are different; the person who draws them has already imbued them with spiritual energy. Even if you don't understand witchcraft at all, a talisman can still have some effect. That's why witchcraft needs to be passed down secretly, otherwise it would be too easy for people to misuse it."

Okay, I was holding Daoist gestures and a talisman. It felt a bit out of place.

"This was drawn by the Shaman King himself, so you can rest assured and use it. He wouldn't betray his own wife, would he Absolutely no problem! Use it!" Brother Liang encouraged me.

I looked up at my father. He nodded and said, “Go ahead, try it first. If it doesn’t work, I’m here.”

I rubbed my hands together, clutching the talisman as I stepped into the room.

That man tilted his head, and as soon as he saw me approaching, he suddenly let out a strange smile.he finger bones were clearly visible, the skin was ghastly white. At first glance, it looked like the finger was about to touch its own eyeball.I had forgotten to gasp, my whole body was covered in go...
