Chapter 261 Gift
Three hundred and twenty-six wandering souls, sixteen evil ghosts, and thirteen monsters!
This number made Qu Hao's hand tremble as he held the phone, and the expressions of Yu Lao and others also became extremely solemn.
This number has not appeared in the past decade.
Moreover, since he took office as the head of the Talent Appraisal Institute, he has only handled about a hundred ghost incidents in all these years.
The phone was hung up!
Before Qu Hao could say anything, a wind blew up at the entrance of the hall, making the pots of green plants in the hall rustle. The next moment, even the light strips above the hall began to sway.
"presumptuous!"
An old man on the sofa snorted coldly, and a copper coin appeared in his hand. He clapped his right hand, and the coin flew into the air and spun rapidly. As the coin spun, the gloomy wind in the hall dissipated instantly.
However, just as a smile appeared on the old man's face because the wind stopped, the next moment the two doors of the hall began to shake again, and the copper coin in the air fell down suddenly and landed on the ground with a snap.
Copper coins fell and a strong wind blew. The two doors were blown over and the decorations in the entire hall were blown by the strong wind. An old man in black clothes sitting on the sofa had a bell in his hand.
The bell swung, and a slightly sharp sound was heard in the rustling wind.
jingle!
bite!
bite!
After three consecutive sounds, the strong wind finally stopped, but the entire hall was in a mess.
"Ghosts and spirits can only test you like this, why don't you show up!"
Yu Mingqing snorted coldly, and at this moment, strange laughter was heard from outside the door.
"Today, I, the Southwest Ghost, came to celebrate the birthday of the descendant of the Xiao family. Why are you so hostile?"
As the voice fell, more than a dozen figures appeared at the door, but these people just stood in the yard outside the door and did not come in.
"What good intentions can a weasel have when paying New Year's greetings to a chicken? I and others know clearly what the purpose of you ghosts coming to the Xiao family is. Let's be frank."
Yu Mingqing walked towards the door first, followed by Xiao Zhenqing and others. They all knew that in this hall, the power of ghosts would not be greatly restricted, but would instead be restricted to themselves.
However, even though they were mentally prepared, Yu Mingqing and the others still felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they saw the huge crowds of ghosts in the yard. With so many ghosts, it would be a fierce battle.
Now, we can only hope that the incense ashes from the appraisal institute headquarters will be delivered in time. With these incense ashes, we can deal with these wandering souls in groups.
"Okay, let's be frank. The Xiao family has killed countless ghosts from the southwest. We, the ghosts from the southwest, will definitely take revenge. If you don't interfere, you can leave now."
The leader of the evil ghosts on the opposite side spoke up, and his eyes fell on Qu Hao: "If your appraisal institute does not get involved in this matter, we guarantee that in the next 20 years, there will be no ghosts in the southwest that will harm the people."
"What a joke! The stability of the people in the southwest is protected by my Institute and all the extraordinary people. If you ghosts dare to harm ordinary people, my Institute will definitely investigate to the end."
Qu Hao did not hesitate at all. Not to mention that ghosts are cunning and untrustworthy, even if what the other party said was true, he would not agree.
"In that case, after tonight, you will just have to watch."
The evil ghost smiled sinisterly and turned his gaze to Xiao Zhenqing: "I will give your Xiao family a chance to survive and let your daughter marry my southwestern nobles. By that time, your Xiao family and our southwestern ghost clan will be one family."
The evil ghost didn't know why that person would put forward such a condition. In his own opinion, he would just raze the Xiao family to the ground and kill all the members of the Xiao family. But since that person gave such an order, he didn't dare to refute.
"Forget about it!"
Xiao Zhenqing directly refused. Letting his daughter marry a ghost clan, doing something that goes against the principles of nature, such as the union of humans and ghosts, would be impossible unless he, Xiao Zhenqing, died. Even if he, Xiao Zhenqing, died, it would be impossible!
"So there's nothing to talk about. Let's see what's going on."
The evil ghost looked at the thirteen monsters. The leading monster nodded and said, "Leave these three old men from the Tianfu Appraisal Institute to us. Leave these three old guys to us."
There were a total of six extraordinary people present. Yu Mingqing invited two good friends, and all three from Tianfu Appraisal Institute were present. As for Xiao Zhenqing and Qu Hao, they were not extraordinary people.
“I’m afraid this is a bit difficult!”
The Intestine Ghost on the second floor looked at the power comparison between the two sides in the yard and felt that the Xiao family was in a bit of trouble because the power disparity between the two sides was too great.
At best these six extraordinary people can only deal with two evil ghosts each. There are sixteen evil ghosts alone, plus the number of monsters. Even if these six have some magic weapons, it is difficult to change the situation.
In fact, it was just as the Intestine Ghost had expected. Yu Mingqing was alone against three evil ghosts, and the two strange men he invited were each against two evil ghosts, and they could only barely remain undefeated. As for the three consultants from the Appraisal Institute, they were at a clear disadvantage with one against two monsters.
The reason is that the magic weapons they each carry can restrain ghosts, but have little effect on monsters.
There are some differences between demons and ghosts.
"Xiao Zhenqing, I'll give you one last chance. Let your daughter go with us, and your Xiao family can continue to exist. Otherwise, after tonight, the Xiao family will no longer exist!"
The leading evil ghost looked at Xiao Zhenqing with a playful expression. The Xiao family, which had suppressed the southwest for nearly a thousand years, would eventually end up like this. It really made the evil ghost feel happy.
"impossible!"
Xiao Zhenqing still refused, but at this moment Qu Hao's eyes lit up slightly, because he received a message from his subordinates that the incense ashes from the headquarters had been delivered, and several consultants had also arrived.
"Then the Xiao family will be destroyed."
The evil ghost waved his hand to signal the wandering souls behind him to rush forward. He wanted to let Xiao Zhenqing be bitten to death by hundreds of ghosts. Only in this way could he get rid of the hatred in his heart.
Back then, his father was beaten to death by the old man from the Xiao family.
However, the wandering souls behind him did not rush forward, but instead caused a commotion, and the ghost standing at the back even screamed.
The sudden change made the evil spirits and monsters that had not yet joined the battle look behind them. Outside the yard, four old men were waving incense ashes and moving forward step by step.
The incense ash flew and landed on the ghosts. Every ghost let out a shrill scream. In just a few breaths, half of the ghosts fell to the ground wailing, and the remaining half fled madly in both directions.
"Hey, it's not that easy to make money from people. Look... this is the price."
The intestine ghost saw the ghost he had questioned before, who was now covered in incense ash and lying on the ground, rolling and wailing, and he also sighed.
"Advisor Yu, Advisor Peng..."
Qu Hao looked at the four old men who appeared with a look of joy on his face. These four were all second-level consultants. With these four people, the situation on the scene could be controlled.
"In this case, the situation is fifty-fifty. I don't think I need to take any action."
The intestine ghost also made his own judgment and just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment his eyes looked towards the bedroom window for relief. His figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, his right hand grabbed the neck of a figure.
That's an evil ghost!
"Damn, so insidious, they even have such a huge advantage but still want to launch a sneak attack!"
The intestinal ghost grabbed the evil ghost's neck and exerted force. A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard, and the evil ghost's neck was directly strangled by the intestinal ghost.
They are both evil spirits, but this is the difference in strength.
The evil ghost's neck was twisted, and the intestine ghost's shirt was bulged open, and a hole appeared in his stomach. An intestine shot out quickly, wrapping around the evil ghost's body like a poisonous snake, and then suddenly pulled the evil ghost's body into his stomach.
At the same time, he grabbed the hungry ghost's head with both hands and started to eat it. The speed was so fast that within a few breaths, the ghost's head was swallowed up by him.
belch!
The intestine ghost burped comfortably, and his stomach returned to normal.
No wonder the little ghost baby likes to devour other ghosts so much. This feeling is really great, and it is also the fastest way to increase strength.
The intestine ghost had never devoured other ghosts before, not because he was kind. He tried to do so at the beginning, but gave up after finding it difficult to digest.
During this time he took care of the ghost baby. After absorbing the ghost energy from the ghost baby, he found that when he saw other ghosts, it was like seeing food, and he couldn't help but want to devour them.
But he didn't dare to do so, for he was afraid that the evil star would find out and kill him. Between life and desire, he chose life.
However, he believed that the evil star would not blame him for devouring the ghost at this moment, after all, he was doing it to protect the little girl.
"I'll just sit here and wait for more food to come."
The intestine ghost licked his lips and walked his body into the wall, hoping that more ghosts would come to die.
But a few seconds later, a head with horns poked in from the window. The Intestine Ghost was helpless, so he slapped it with a big bibi, breaking the horns on the monster's head and knocking it unconscious.
forecourt!
The battle was very fierce at this moment. The four consultants from the appraisal institute headquarters joined the battle. Even Qu Hao and Xiao Zhenqing joined the battlefield. Although the two were not extraordinary people, they each held a peach wood sword and fought against a monster and an evil ghost. Of course, both of them were at a disadvantage.
"Something's wrong, Sanyang, go check on Coco!"
Yu Mingqing, who was fighting three evil ghosts alone and was not at a disadvantage, suddenly thought of something . His expression changed and he shouted to his grandson who was standing at the door.
"It's too late to think of this now."
The evil ghost leader who was fighting with Yu Mingqing had a smug smile on his face. Their goal this time, destroying the Xiao family was only their secondary goal, and the first goal was to take the little girl from the Xiao family away.
He had already arranged for an evil ghost and a monster to sneak into the villa from the back, and by this time they had already taken the little girl away.
However, after just one minute, he could no longer be so proud.
"Grandpa, Coco is fine. Aunt Xu just woke Coco up and helped her get dressed!" Yu Sanyang ran in and soon ran out to inform the situation.
"Impossible, you are lying!"
The evil ghost leader didn't believe it. All the aliens were held back by them. Who in this villa could stop them... Is there another alien in this villa?
Thinking of this, the evil ghost looked towards the villa and roared, "Who is hiding in there!"
The angry roar of the evil ghost leader made Yu Mingqing and others stunned for a moment. From the roar, they realized that they had fallen into a trap. These ghosts still had a trick up their sleeves and wanted to secretly take Coco away.
"Brother Yu is really very smart. He figured out that these ghosts are targeting the little girl from the Xiao family."
Yu Shifeng, who came from the headquarters, had just repelled a monster with one blow, and turned his head to praise Yu Mingqing beside him.
"Brother Yu, I..."
Yu Mingqing smiled bitterly. He had not made any arrangements for a backup plan. There were not enough people on the front line, so how could he arrange people to guard Coco? He didn't know that the real target of these ghosts was Coco.
Yu Shifeng saw something from Yu Mingqing's expression. If the strange person in the villa was not arranged by Yu Mingqing, then who could it be?
Are the three consultants from Tianfu Appraisal Institute also here?
Just as they were confused, a dissatisfied voice came from the villa.
"What I hate most is someone yelling at me!"
The figure of the Intestine Ghost appeared in the center of the yard. Seeing the appearance of the Intestine Ghost, Yu Shifeng and several consultants from the headquarters showed vigilance on their faces. The ghost aura on this person was too strong, stronger than any evil ghost present.
“This is not…”
Old Yu looked at Xiao Zhenqing, and Xiao Zhenqing was also confused at this moment. The housekeeper of his daughter's classmate was an evil ghost?
“You are also a ghost, why…” The evil ghost leader looked at the intestine ghost with confusion.
"Get lost, I'm not like you."
The intestine ghost glared at the evil ghost leader and said, "The little girl from the Xiao family is my young master's classmate. You are so bold that you dare to attack my young master's classmate. Since we are all ghosts, I will give you a chance to get out of here, otherwise I will swallow you all."
The intestinal ghost's expression was full of contempt and disdain. These guys in front of him were just lucky that it was him who came. If it was that evil star who came, all of them would have been dead long ago.
The appearance and words of the Intestine Ghost caused both parties fighting on the scene to stop, as both sides were somewhat unable to react.
An evil ghost stood on the side of the Xiao family who specialized in exterminating ghosts...
"You are an evil ghost, yet you actually recognize a human as your master. You are simply a disgrace to our ghost clan!"
After a while, the evil ghost leader roughly understood what was going on, but his words made the intestine ghost instantly unhappy. What was shame? He was just abandoning darkness and joining the light.
"If you can't speak, don't speak!"
The intestinal ghost directly swung a big fan down, and although the evil ghost leader dodged, he was unable to avoid it, and his entire figure was blown away more than ten meters.
This scene made the other evil ghosts and monsters present feel a chill in their hearts. This... is still an evil ghost? I'm afraid it's close to the realm of Ghost King.
Similarly, the people on Yu Mingqing's side were also dumbfounded.
Such a fierce ghost?
The evil ghost leader who was blown away did not have a look of fear on his face. Instead, he looked behind him, because behind him, footsteps were heard in the darkness.
"Even ghosts have been used. It seems that the Xiao family really has no backup plan!"
In the darkness, a man appeared, his purple eyes flashing with a seductive luster.
"You are very strong, but you can't protect the Xiao family!"
The man stared at the intestine ghost, and the next moment he took out a small bronze tripod from his arms.
go!
The small bronze tripod was thrown into the sky by the man and soon became larger. As the man's handprints changed, a terrifying suction force emerged from the tripod.
The first ones to be pulled by this suction force were not Yu Mingqing and others, but the ghosts at the scene. These evil ghosts were pulled towards the cauldron, and a look of panic appeared on their faces.
"grown ups!"
The evil ghost leader looked at the purple-eyed man with fear and confusion.
"There is no other way. The only way to activate this tripod is to sacrifice you. But don't worry, these people will be here to accompany you soon."
The purple-eyed man's words made the evil ghosts look angry, but soon their bodies were pulled and twisted, and they were sucked into the cauldron in just a few breaths.
As these evil ghosts were sucked in, the entire bronze tripod was filled with a layer of scarlet light, and the intestinal ghost was also resisting the suction force from the bronze tripod at this moment. His intuition told him that if he was sucked into the tripod, he would be dead.
"Everyone, take action. We can't let him complete the sacrifice!"
Although Yu Mingqing didn't know what this tripod was, he knew that this evil ghost was on their side, so he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
However, the purple-eyed man changed his hand seal, and the bronze tripod began to rotate. The next moment, the mouth of the tripod turned downward, and a terrifying energy emanated from the tripod, surging towards the surroundings like water waves.
Silently!
However, Yu Mingqing and others were all blown away by this energy, including the intestinal ghost.
"How can you resist the treasures of my Xiling demon clan?"
The purple-eyed man showed disdain on his face. The clan asked him to bring out the tripod. Once it was confirmed that the Xiao family had no backup plan, he would use the tripod to completely eliminate all the people and then bring the little girl from the Xiao family back to the clan.
"It's over. Am I going to die here this time?"
The intestine ghost who fell to the ground clearly felt that his ghost energy was sealed by an invisible force, and he also realized that those old men were the same as him.
"If I had known I would not have come to Tianfu, this time I not only failed to pick up a girl but also lost my life."
The Intestine Ghost was so regretful. If he could have foreseen this scene, he would rather stay in the evil star...
"Evil star..."
The Intestine Ghost suddenly thought of the gift box and the conversation that the Evil Star gave him before he set out.
"This is the gift I prepared for that little girl. Please give it to her on my behalf."
"Sir, please prepare a gift as well."
"Well, I hope this gift won't be used."
At that time, I was still a little confused about what the evil star said. If you give someone a gift and hope that they won’t use it, then what’s the point of giving the gift?
Could it be that the evil star had anticipated the current situation?
Thinking of this, the intestine ghost immediately shouted towards the door: "Ms. Xu, quickly take out the gift box that my husband gave to Coco."
Xu Yun, who was on the second floor, heard the roar of the Intestine Ghost and recognized it as the voice of Butler Chang. Although she didn't know how Butler Chang could appear in her home if he hadn't gone to the hotel, she hurriedly picked up one of the two gift boxes that her daughter had placed on the table.
When the gift box was opened, inside was a jade pendant in the shape of a sword.
Before Xu Yun picked up the pendant, the jade sword, which was less than an inch long, floated up from the box on its own initiative. Then, as if it sensed something, it turned into a ray of light and flew out of the window.
