Chapter 24: A night of chaos in the small building
"Bullshit!" Chen Duo didn't believe it. There were so many wizards who went to kill evil spirits but were killed by them. How could a wizard be immune to all evil?
"I have something to ask you." Chen Duo hesitated for a while, "As soon as I fall asleep at night, I always have nightmares, and my body is wet and cold, as if I am being entangled by something. What's going on?"
"That's what Yin-Yang eyes are like. It's normal." someone in the kitchen said.
"Really?" Chen Duo sat down on the sofa somewhat frustrated. She had been wondering if there was any way to solve it, but since she was born with the Yin-Yang Vision, there was no way.
But she inexplicably thought of last night, when she was so sleepy that she fell asleep while sitting on the chair. But strangely, she slept so soundly, without any nightmares, without any shrill and eerie screams, and her body was dry and warm as if bathed in the sun.
Is it just an illusion?
Xu Lai came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. Seeing her sitting there, he greeted her: "Please sit anywhere. I'll go clean up the room."
As he said that, he entered the room. The sheets and quilt covers I bought last time have already been put into the washing machine for washing, but I haven't had the time to spread them out.
He spent more than half an hour making the bed. When he returned to the living room, he found that Chen Duo was gone. She had probably gone back to her room.
He went into the kitchen, took the garbage downstairs and threw it away. When he returned to his room and was about to go to sleep, he heard someone knocking on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was Chen Duo. She had changed her clothes and had long wet hair. It was obvious that she had just come in from a shower.
"Is there something wrong?" Xu Lai asked.
"It's okay, come and watch TV." Chen Duo rushed in, sat cross-legged on the sofa, took the remote control and turned on the TV.
"You don't have a TV at home?" Xu Lai closed the door and turned around to say.
"It's broken." Chen Duo pressed buttons randomly and finally picked a romantic TV series to watch.
"I'm going to sleep." Xu Lai was politely saying goodbye to the guest.
"Go ahead, good night." Chen Duo waved her hand as a goodbye.
Xu Lai: “…”
"Don't make too much noise." Xu said, and went back to his room to sleep.
He hadn't slept much for several days and was indeed a little tired, so he fell asleep immediately.
I woke up around two in the morning, got up from the bed, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and went to the living room, where I saw the TV was still on. Chen Duo was lying on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, already asleep.
Xu Lai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He went to the bedroom, got a thin blanket and threw it on her.
I took out the compass, went to the balcony and looked out into the distance. I saw tall buildings dotted all over Jiangning City in the night.
The night is long.
When Chen Duo woke up, it was already past seven in the morning. It was already bright outside, and rays of sunlight poured in through the curtains.
Chen Duo felt that she had slept very soundly and sweetly. She moved and found that she was covered with a thin blanket.
"I didn't realize this guy is so careful." Chen Duo thought to herself, pulling the blanket to her nose and sniffing it. There was a smell, and she couldn't help but mutter, "You haven't washed it since you bought it, right?"
I got up from the sofa and walked around the room, but didn't see anyone. I wondered where he had gone so early in the morning.
She had to go to school today. After returning to her room, she washed up and changed her clothes, then hurried downstairs. On the way, she sent a WeChat message to Xu Lai: "Where have you been?"
"Let's go shopping." Xu Lai replied.
Chen Duo looked down on him. This guy was quite leisurely and wandered around all day long.
At this time, Xu Lai was in a breakfast shop on Ningpu Road. Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu sent him several WeChat messages in a row, all asking him what to do next.
Xu Lai said that you should eat and have fun and there is no need to be nervous.
But he just said it lightly, Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu were really nervous!
The two of them have been staying together since yesterday evening. Except for going to the bathroom, they even sleep in the same room.
Sun Muyu has a house near Jiangnan Avenue, and the two of them stayed there last night.
"Should we move to another place?" Gao Xiang said after sending a WeChat message to Xu Lai.
"What do you mean?" Sun Muyu didn't understand.
Gao Xiang said, "Your house is very busy and has too many neighbors. What if that person comes to your house and starts fighting, and accidentally hurts someone?"
Sun Muyu was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this before.
Gao Xiang was not just worrying about nothing. If the two sides really started fighting, it was very likely that innocent people would be affected.
"Besides, it's not easy for us to decorate this place," said Gao Xiang.
Sun Muyu understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. To be honest, they were .
But things have come to this point, and we have to go ahead no matter what.
They have learned a lot of skills from Yuan Tianlin. Now that they have made up their minds to lure the bug into the trap, they have to find a way to make good arrangements to ensure that everything is safe.
But this house is surrounded by neighbors on all sides and above and below, so it’s really impossible to come up with any layout.
"Why don't we go to Xinye ?" said Sun Muyu.
Xinye is a place on the west side of the city, backed by a large wetland . The environment is quiet and the houses are much more spacious than those in the main urban area.
Sun Muyu has a house there, and she doesn't go there very often, but she stays there for a few days when she's on vacation. Gao Xiang has also been there a few times and thinks it's a very suitable place.
After discussing it, the two headed straight to the house in Xinye. The house was near the wetland, an independent two-story building with few neighbors around.
After the two moved in, they didn't do much to clean up and immediately started decorating the house inside and out.
Among the various spell categories, there are still many trap and warning spells. For example, this house is located near a wetland, so there is a large area of mud around the house.
By using the mud, you can set up a spell called "Yin Yin", which is a triggered trap. As long as someone steps on it by mistake, the spell will be triggered and their legs will sink into the mud and be unable to get out.
Of course, the ones who are more proficient in this kind of Yin-Yan technique are the disciples of Tianshi Mansion and Maoshan Zhengdao. Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu don’t know much about it.
However, the Yuan Clan also has its own methods.
After everything was arranged, it was already past three in the afternoon, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing to eat in the kitchen, but there were a lot of snacks, and the two ate some casually.
After that, the two of them stayed in a room on the second floor.
"Mu Yu, are you nervous?" Gao Xiang asked.
"Why be nervous? I just hope that guy comes earlier!" Sun Muyu said gritting his teeth.
Even so, Gao Xiang knew that Sun Muyu was still very nervous. After the two of them became Yuan Tianlin's disciples, they had taken on some exorcism work independently over the years, but they had never faced anyone head-on.
Especially since the opponent is a master of strange and evil magic, it would be strange if he wasn't nervous.
Gao Xiang was uneasy, and sent several WeChat messages to Xu Lai in a row. He didn't know what the great man was busy with, and he often took a long time to reply to one of his messages, and all he said were comforting words like "no problem" and "don't worry".
There was really no other way, so I had to keep eating potato chips to relieve the tension. This meant I had to keep drinking water, which resulted in me running to the toilet several times in a row.
This went on for several hours until it finally got dark.
The layout of the house was very simple, with just two floors, no complicated structure, and not many dead corners. The two of them squatted on the second-floor balcony, staring at the shadows and dark corners around them.
At this time, a bright light flashed in the distance, dazzling the two of them. Not long after, the light got closer and closer, and the roar of a car engine was heard.
The car was driving very fast and arrived in front of them in a moment and stopped in front of the house.
Both of them were startled, but soon realized something was wrong. The light pink Maserati in front of them looked very familiar.
"Oh my god, why is she here?" Gao Xiang exclaimed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slim beauty jumped out of the car. She was wearing a light white short-sleeved shirt, aqua blue jeans, and her long hair was simply tied in a knot on her head. She looked very neat and tidy. Who else could it be but Sun Muyu's cousin Kang Lu?
Before the two had time to figure out what was going on, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
"Mu Tou, open the door quickly!" he was already shouting.
Sun Muyu and Gao Xiang hurried downstairs and opened the door.
"Oh, auntie, why are you here?" Sun Muyu asked anxiously.
"Why can't I come? I was bored at home, and when I heard you were here, I came over to play. Gao Xiang is here too?" Kang Lu said, greeted Gao Xiang, and was about to go in, but was stopped by the two people anxiously.
"Auntie, please go back quickly. This is not the place you came from!" Sun Muyu was really anxious this time.
Kang Lu looked at them both suspiciously: "What? Are you disturbing you two from being gay?"
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Xiao Lu, you'd better go back first. Your brother and I have important things to do." Gao Xiang hurriedly persuaded her.
Kang Lu looked at him, then at Sun Muyu, her dark eyes rolled around, and she clapped her hands and said, "That's perfect. What's the important matter? I'll help you!"
"You really can't help with this matter, auntie, you should go back first. I will explain it to you next time, okay?" Sun Muyu was so anxious that she even wanted to kneel down and beg.
The sky was getting completely dark and the murderer might come at any time. What would we do if Kang Lu was hurt?
"Not good!" Kang Lu said with a straight face, "Anyway, I'm not going back. You two can do whatever you want."
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu have been best friends since childhood, so they are naturally very familiar with Kang Lu. They know that this girl has been stubborn since she was a child, and has a temper like a big lady. No one can stop her from doing what she wants to do. After calculating in their hearts, they said, "Come in first."
Sun Muyu was about to object, but was pulled back by Gao Xiang.
"That's better." Kang Lu said, and then she swaggered into the house, threw the car keys on the coffee table, and then went upstairs.
