American Comics: BOSS Invasion

At the Tan family's mansion.

Real Master Qian brandished his wooden sword wildly, stirring up dust and sand.

Starting from the first watch of the night, he had been at it for two full hours, and more than half of the candles on the altar had burned down, yet there was still no reaction.

Master Liu went from being nervous at the beginning, to suspicious and uncertain, then to feeling inexplicably strange, and finally to a state of indifference. He sat on the grandmaster's chair with his legs crossed, his eyes full of doubt.

It wasn't like this when they discussed it before.

In Real Master Qian's words, killing someone was as easy as killing a chicken, and he didn't even need to do it himself. He just needed to set up an altar, burn a piece of yellow paper, and wave his wooden sword around for a while, and it would be done.

But judging from the current situation, it was obviously not the case. Real Master Qian had been jumping around for two or three hours, but there was still no effect.

Not only Master Liu, but even Real Master Qian himself was starting to doubt.

He opened his eyes, drenched in sweat, panting like a dog.

"Why can't I find it?"

"Water! Water!"

Qi Shan brought over a cup of tea that had been prepared in advance and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Water! Water!"

"There's no more!"

"There's no more!"

Real Master Qian muttered, licked his lips, and began the ritual again.

He suddenly jumped back, resting the wooden sword on his elbow, pinched a magic seal with his right hand, and mumbled a string of incantations extremely quickly. Then, with a low shout, he bit open his fingers and pointed fiercely at the coffin.

The straw figurine lying in the coffin model seemed to suddenly turn into a marionette, instantly jumping up from the table, then raising its arms and moving back and forth on the altar.

On the other side, on the roof of the Ma family's ancestral hall, Zhang Bold patted his chest. Just as he came up, he saw the zombie suddenly窜to the roof beam.

It paced anxiously, swinging from side to side, directly chopping a pillar in half. The thick, head-sized, withered pillar was no less resilient than steel.

If it had chopped his neck, his life would have been over.

But Zhang Bold had experienced so many bizarre events that he had reached the point of being unfazed by anything. As long as he didn't encounter a life-threatening zombie or a ghostly apparition, nothing else seemed strange to him.

Even if this child was some kind of demon, as long as the other party didn't harm him, Zhang Bold wouldn't be crazy enough to cause trouble. Moreover, he had just saved him, so it was only right that he shouldn't think badly of him.

The other person was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke. The voice was indeed that of a child: "Don't be nervous, Zhang Bold. I am a person, not a ghost!"

The other person turned to the side, allowing the moonlight to shine on their face. Zhang Bold took one look and found that it was indeed a handsome child, except that they were wearing the uniform of a house servant, with a blue coat and a small hat.

The person was Xiao Douzi.

This made Zhang Bold somewhat strange: "You are...?"

"Don't worry about who I am for now. Our young master has some grievances with Lai Pi Gou. Recently, after investigating, he found that Lai Pi Gou suddenly made a fortune and is gambling with people everywhere. He can't stand his arrogant attitude, so he wants to teach him a lesson!"

Zhang Bold was puzzled: "Um, you're speaking so formally, I don't quite understand. Can you just say what you want to say?"

Xiao Douzi said: "Let me put it this way. Our young master knows that Lai Pi Gou is gambling with you, so he wants to help you cheat and win the bet. But if you win the money, our young master wants sixty percent!"

"That's impossible!"

Zhang Bold flatly refused. He was joking. Driving a cart didn't even earn him five taels of silver in a year. Now, he only needed to make a bet, and although he might encounter a zombie, it was still five taels of silver.

Moreover, wasn't he alright now?

The other party hadn't done anything and wanted to take away three taels of silver all at once. Wasn't that just dreaming of free money?

"Of course, I'm not referring to this time. Don't worry, our young master wouldn't look down on these few coins!"

"The one who cast the spell to harm you was actually a Maoshan Taoist. He colluded with Lai Pi Gou and has already harmed many people."

"We are also eliminating harm for the people."

"Of course, considering that you may not be able to accept it all at once, it's understandable. This skylight is a back door that our young master specially asked the carpenter to make. It can only be opened from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside."

"The zombie below has been rampaging for two or three hours. In another hour, it will be dawn. Therefore, you only need to lie down on the roof, and the zombie will return without success!"

"When it's bright, you can go back to the Ma family's ancestral hall through the skylight. When Lai Pi Gou appears again and finds that you are unharmed, he will definitely bet with you again. This time, the silver will be at least fifty taels. As long as you keep your mouth shut, even a hundred taels of silver won't be a problem!"

"If things really get to this point, our young master will naturally give you corresponding methods to safely escape the danger like tonight. If you want to eliminate harm for the people, you can also directly destroy the other party."

"But if you accept the young master's help, then you must hand over sixty percent of the silver!"

Xiao Douzi slowly said a long passage. Seeing Zhang Bold staring wide-eyed and unable to speak for a long time, he smiled, shook his head, turned around, stepped on the ladder, and walked down step by step.

Zhang Bold curiously crawled over and happened to see Xiao Douzi get into a black carriage, which swayed and left.

Hearing the sound of the copper gong, Zhang Bold looked at the deep night sky, listening to the zombie running around in the Ma family's ancestral hall, searching for his踪迹, and had no sleepiness at all.

Recalling the so-called old friend he suddenly met today, the inexplicable bet, and the bizarre events that happened tonight, Zhang Bold had the urge to slap himself in the face.

Fortunately, a mysterious person appeared, threw down a rope, and pulled me up. Otherwise, I would have had to fight the zombie inside!
