The Exorcist

Chapter 18 Unreliable Partner

New town. In front of a residential building.

Looking from the door and window, the fog has not receded, but has become thicker, like a huge white cloth hanging outside, completely blocking the whole world from this small room.

Moreover, as time went on, the room seemed to start to leak. The doors and windows made a slight "bang" sound. A bit of cold air gradually seeped in, and the walls, roof, and ground began to become damp.

"The resentment is so deep that the power of the talisman cannot withstand it." Ruan Zhan listened attentively and frowned.

At this time, he and Xiaoxia were still sitting behind the partition wall. Ever since they had been hiding in this room, he had been trying to regain some of his spiritual power.

"We seem to be surrounded now. We have to think of a way to get out in a while." Xiao Xia looked around. I saw a few people outside who seemed to feel that this temporary peace was about to disappear, and everyone was a little nervous. Liu Hong began to retreat behind Zuo De, who was still calm. Reporter Ma looked panicked, Zhao Jiayuan looked dull, and only Mao Fu sat happily on the ground, not knowing what to say.

"It doesn't matter, I will find a way." Ruan Zhan's brows were still frowning.

Judging from the phone call with Wan Li just now, he was indeed attacked by Sima Nan outside, which made him somewhat worried. The current situation here is also very difficult, and he cannot let go of all kinds of major pressures.

"I'm not worried." Xiao Xia came back to Ruan Zhan again. Seeing his frown, she couldn't help stroking it gently with her fingers. "With you here, it doesn't matter what happens. It doesn't matter if you can't escape." .”

Ruan Zhan grabbed Xiaoxia's hand.

She was too close to him, and stroking his brow with her fingertips made him want to kiss her again. However, before he could move, he felt her peck him on the lips. He almost chased after her to make the sweet feeling last longer, but he forced himself to stay calm because he understood the current predicament. If he followed his own heart, then his whole heart would be on her, and they would be together. There was no hope of survival.

"I won't let you die here." He held her soft little hand, "There are countless good things waiting for you in your future!"

"I don't like what you said." Xiaoxia hugged his neck, "It's like leaving a last word. I want to make a vow to you - if you can't get out alive, I will die for your love. I swear I will do it. So, Do you want me to live a good life? You must save your life."

"Don't be willful."

"I want it!" Xiaoxia felt that he was about to pull away from her, and she hugged his neck tighter, "Because life without you will not be happy."

Her words made Ruan Zhan's heart soften instantly.

Although he appears to be a gentle and easy-going person on the surface, in fact he has a very strong personality. This is why since he came out of the mountain, he has met people who are stronger than him in terms of skills, but no one can suppress him. His reasons. If you protect someone who is particularly important to you, you will often unleash greater potential. Xiaoxia knew this very well and used this to motivate Ruan Zhan.

"Excuse me -" a woman's voice came from behind, disturbing the two people who were hugging each other quietly, "The ground and walls are flooded with water. It's very strange. Also, there is a strong wind blowing outside. What’s wrong?”

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at Liu Hong with disgust and pulled Ruan Zhan to stand up, but still held his hand.

"Zuo De." Ruan Zhan walked outside and first called Zuo De, who had been relatively calm. "Take the charms off the wall. Remember, don't take them all off. At least two of them must be left. And they have changed color and No need for the soaked ones.”

Zuo De nodded and went to get the talisman with Reporter Ma.

Xiaoxia saw Zhao Jiayuan sitting there blankly, and suddenly her heart moved, remembering that he might be an insider of the incident behind the scenes. Although he seemed to be afraid and refused to say anything, in this situation, he should be questioned again. The encounter with Ruan Zhan made her forget everything else in excitement, and now this state of preparation reminded her of it again.

She walked towards Zhao Jiayuan. The strange thing was that this time, Zhao Jiayuan did not avoid it as quickly as a frightened bird. Until Xiaoxia walked in front of him, he remained motionless.

"Zhao Jiayuan, you have to tell us what happened that year, so that we can have a chance to escape. I know you are afraid, but you will die if you don't tell, so you should tell me, even if you reveal a little bit! Zhao Jiayuan?" Seeing that Zhao Jiayuan hadn't responded yet, Xiaoxia went over in a hurry and pushed his shoulder. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiayuan suddenly fell down while maintaining the same sitting posture, making a dull sound like dead wood falling on the cement floor, and his limbs and head were actually thrown away. The whole body was broken into several pieces, and not a drop of blood was spilled.

Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then screamed and took a big step back. However, Zhao Jiayuan's head suddenly moved, and he rolled towards her feet with a "gurgling" sound, and opened his mouth to bite.

Xiaoxia jumped up in fright, but before she could hit the ground, she was caught by Ruan Zhan's strong arms in mid-air.

When Xiaoxia went to negotiate with 'Zhao Jiayuan', Ruan Zhan already felt that something was wrong. Including him, there were seven people in the room, but after he ordered Zuo De, he only felt the breath of six people. It's just that he can't see it now and hesitated for a while, so he couldn't get there as soon as possible!

With a 'pop' sound, he accurately stepped on the severed head. With a strong step, the head broke into two halves and turned out to be hollow wood!

ah--

Liu Hong reacted a beat slower than Xiao Xia, and then she screamed, while Mao Fu burst out laughing!

"What's going on?" Xiaoxia was so frightened that her lips turned white, and she buried her head in Ruan Zhan's chest, "Why is he a wooden man?"

"He was not who he was when he was in the square!" Ruan Zhan sighed softly.

If his vision and psychic abilities were not blocked, he would have discovered this wooden man sneaking in between them long ago, and he would not have had to push Xiaoxia rashly to find out. Now he knew why his spell lost its effectiveness so quickly. It was because the vengeful spirit attached to the wooden man was constantly cooperating with the vengeful spirit in the mist outside. Unfortunately, he had never been able to discover it.

But where did the real Zhao Jiayuan go? do you died? And now which one of these people around is a spy sent by the other party.

This thought made Ruan Zhan's heart tighten. If there was anything that could easily defeat his opponents, it would be the most effective way to make them suspicious and wary of each other, or even attack each other. Because of the stupid Zhao Jiayuan, he almost fell into the trap!

"All the talismans that can be used are here." Zuo De's voice came from beside him.

Ruan Zhan calmed down and decided not to be fooled, but to trust the people here, especially Zuo De, who gave people a very reliable feeling.

"About how many more are there?" he asked.

"Twenty-two." Zuo De had already counted them when he took off the charm.

"Each person has five pieces, one piece each for Mao Fu and I." Ruan Zhan simply ordered, "You put one piece on your chest and one on your back, leaving three pieces. When we return to the square, put the talisman on Stick it around yourself.”

"Go back to the square?" Liu Hong said sharply, "Isn't that asking for death? No, I won't go, I won't go, take us out of this hellish place quickly! No, I won't go!"

"If you don't want to go, don't force yourself, just find your own way." Ruan Zhan said coldly.

"I'll go." Zuo De said.

Then Reporter Ma also said to go, and even the crazy Mao Fu jumped up and shouted happily, "I'm going, I'm going!" As a result, Liu Hong was speechless anymore. She didn't dare to be alone. Waiting in this town.

Since everyone had no objections, Ruan Zhan walked to the door. Xiaoxia followed him closely. He wanted to secretly give a few of his five spells to Ruan Zhan. After all, his spiritual power was blocked now, so he couldn't. Not that safe. But Ruan Zhan firmly refused her to do that, so she had to follow him closely, swearing in her heart that it would be easy for her to die, and there was no chance of attacking Ruan Zhan from behind!

Ruan Zhan opened the door and was immediately greeted by a strong wind, but Ruan Zhan suddenly raised his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, the thick fog immediately opened a half-meter-wide gap.

Ruan Zhan chuckled, still raising his hand, and led the people in line out.

Ruan Zhan was the first, followed by Xiaoxia, then Reporter Ma, Liu Hong, Zuo De, and finally Mao Fu. Because Mao Fu has gone crazy, scary things are useless to him. It is estimated that people like him who have no interest in revenge will be the last to die, so he is currently the least dangerous one. Ruan Zhan only had someone stick a charm on his back to ensure that he would not be possessed by anything to harm others.

Ruan Zhan knew that the reason why the thick fog turned by the resentful spirit moved out of the way was because he mistakenly thought that he would hit the palm thunder just now, so he was not in a hurry to take action now to save his little strength. The journey was not far, but they had to be careful not to be confused and take the wrong path, and also to be wary of a surprise attack by a wraith spirit, so they walked slower than when they came.

This is also a last resort. Originally, the small closed house was the best refuge. He had planned it long ago and could buy him some time. However, he did not expect that Zhao Jiayuan had been replaced by a wooden man long ago, which made him The fortress that was so painstakingly maintained did not last as long as he thought. The good house was leaking water for no reason. If he didn't take people away, he would really be trapped there and unable to get out.

Everything was the same outside. After much deliberation, he decided to go back to the square. He could see that although every time someone died there, it seemed like a stage for killing, but the venue was wide and it was the intersection where the breath flowed the most smoothly. Moreover, the tower had quite a "suppressing" effect. It felt like he was a person who knew the five elements of Feng Shui very well. This place designed by experts was just destroyed. Since nowhere is safe, and these people were dragged here in the end, it is better to go directly there, at least where the fog cannot cover the square for a long time.

Although his father had taught him, he had never done much research on the Five Elements of Feng Shui and could only take a rough look at it. But based on the current situation, he could use his toes to figure out who destroyed the situation here.

The sky was obviously gray, but the group could only grope their way forward, as if they were stuck in white mud. Ruan Zhan kept his hand raised high, making the thick fog automatically move out of the way when he approached. This scene made Xiaoxia feel like he was at the bottom of the sea. If the white waves closed, everyone would be buried in it.

Finally, those hidden resentful spirits began to be impatient and distrustful of the intimidation shown by Ruan Zhan. A human-shaped white air suddenly surged up in the mist-free air, pressing down on Ruan Zhan from top to bottom. Come down.

"Ruan Zhan, be careful!" Xiaoxia shouted.

Ruan Zhan sneered and waved the hand that had been raised for a long time in the direction of twelve o'clock at noon.

"Try this!"
