Chapter 85: Conservation of Energy
They arrived at the place.
Two police officers, one roommate, one counselor, plus Bai Cha, a total of five people.
Even if you added Father Gu beside her, that would be six people.
This situation was indeed beyond Bai Cha’s expectations.
The elevator went up smoothly, and they arrived outside Qi Wenquan’s door.
The police knocked on the door.
“Hello, is anyone home?”
The vermilion security door, after this sentence fell, clicked and slowly opened.
Clearly, there was no one inside.
However, this door was pushed open from the inside with a heavy creaking sound.
The inside of the house was pitch black.
The smell of incense and candles wafted out.
Wang Siyao got goosebumps all over. “What kind of blackout conditions can make the inside this dark? The corridor isn’t dark at all!”
Bai Cha, on the other hand, felt a dampness gathering around her, and Father Gu also seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.
“Is anyone home?” The police officer in front knocked on the door again.
There was no movement inside the house.
Everyone looked at each other.
One of the police officers stepped forward, fumbled around in the entryway, and found the light switch. He pressed it.
With a snap, the light in the entryway did turn on, a white light, but it flickered uncertainly, as if it would burn out at any moment, and it also made a faint crackling sound.
Moreover, it couldn’t directly reveal the scene inside the house; the living room still looked pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Wang Siyao grabbed Bai Cha’s arm. “How about we just forget about it? Let’s think of another way. As long as we don’t let that thing pester us again, that’s enough, right?”
As she said this, her voice grew softer and softer, but the strength in her hand increased.
Bai Cha looked at her calmly.
In Wang Siyao’s eyes, the black pupils were rapidly dilating, quickly occupying the entire eyeball.
Her tone also became strange. “Look… come with me, come with me, your soul won’t be taken away by Him.”
While Bai Cha was still thinking about what had possessed Wang Siyao, Father Gu beside her swung a knife.
That knife was incredibly fast. Bai Cha didn’t even have time to stop him, and she saw Wang Siyao’s head fly off.
Warm blood splattered all over her.
However, after Wang Siyao’s head flew out and rolled on the ground, it wobbled and adjusted its position again. Although it no longer had a body, the head was placed squarely on the ground, looking at Bai Cha.
Even the corners of her mouth gradually split open, tearing the flesh, and an even more eerie sound came from her mouth.
“Come with me!”
“Come with me!!”
And her hand was still tightly gripping Bai Cha’s arm, almost breaking it.
Father Gu swung another knife and chopped off her hand as well.
Bai Cha still looked like she hadn’t recovered from the shock. But out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that normally, with such a terrifying scene unfolding, the three ordinary NPCs beside them should have screamed.
But they didn’t. They still stood there, also staring at her.
Good heavens, she understood. What sudden group of people following her to explore? They were clearly vessels for the evil spirit in the house to possess.
She knew it! How could she have such good luck? Clues being handed to her for free? That was bound to come with a catch!
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Anything gained without effort comes at a price.
But after realizing what the catch was, Bai Cha actually felt relieved.
She wasn’t afraid of falling hard into a big pit, only afraid of not seeing where the pit was.
Father Gu reached out and pulled her behind him.
“Stay behind me and hide well.”
As soon as his words fell, the figures standing motionless there instantly began to twist and lurch towards them.
Bai Cha hid behind Father Gu, but she wasn’t idle. She observed her surroundings, found an opportunity to pretend to fall, and while Father Gu wasn’t paying attention, she released the Frosty Mountain sword from her backpack.
Then she pretended not to know why there would be a sword here. But the situation was critical because “Wang Siyao’s” head had flown over to bite her, so she immediately picked it up.
Although it would be difficult to explain clearly, well, whatever. She couldn’t rely entirely on Father Gu.
With a weapon in hand, Bai Cha felt a bit more confident.
It was just a pity that she was truly a combat noob, barely enough for self-defense.
However, the doors of several households in the unit building suddenly opened at the same time.
Twisted figures crawled out one by one.
Although Father Gu was strong, he couldn’t fight so many enemies at once and almost had no time to care for Bai Cha.
Bai Cha could only use herself as bait, pretending to be caught by a shadow, and then taking the opportunity to stab the other party with her sword.
There was no other way; otherwise, she couldn’t guarantee she could kill them.
These figures were forcing her into the room, but Bai Cha intended to go in anyway.
However, just as she stepped into the living room, the door suddenly closed, and those figures disappeared.
Even Father Gu was blocked outside.
Bai Cha wasn’t flustered. This actually meant that Father Gu probably wouldn’t know about her using skills or anything for the time being.
She looked at the offering table.
The incense on the table, just like in her dream, had only burned down by a third.
But the difference was that a figure was kneeling there.
The room was very dark, and she couldn’t see clearly, only that the other person was kowtowing towards the offering table.
Bai Cha thought for a moment, then suddenly quickened her pace and stabbed down with her sword while the other person’s head hit the ground.
What martial ethics? As long as she could win, she didn’t care if it was a sneak attack.
With the sword stabbed in, the other person was also stunned for a moment, and then let out an angry scream.
Bai Cha calmly and quickly absorbed the power, even though this power made her body feel an indescribable pain.
It was as if every blood vessel and every pore was clogged with impurities.
This was the side effect of the Frosty Mountain sword.
She had no choice but to accept it.
But it wasn’t entirely bad; she at least gained some power.
“Gu Baixue! Bitch!”
Okay, it was the ex-boyfriend.
The other person’s hand had already reached out.
Bai Cha couldn’t react in time and was directly pulled to the ground. But at the same time, she grabbed the other person’s hand.
The other person exerted force, and she also exerted force. She had absorbed too much ghost energy now, and her nails had become long and sharp.
And the Frosty Mountain sword was still continuously absorbing the other person’s power.
“Qi Lianyue,” Bai Cha suddenly said, her tone inexplicably becoming a bit strange.
Ignoring these changes, Bai Cha stared intently at the other person’s face.
From just now, even though the sword had pierced him, the other person’s face hadn’t shown any fear or dread. But at this moment, it finally wavered.
She guessed right.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Bai Cha’s lips.
“Qi Lianyue, you used Qi Wenquan as a substitute and killed your own relatives. You think you can escape?”
“You’re the one who should die!”
The Frosty Mountain sword exerted force again. This time, the ex-boyfriend finally screamed and wailed miserably.
“Gu Baixue! How dare you!”
“Gu Baixue, do you think you can end all this by killing me? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! You will only be able to suffer endlessly in this cycle of reincarnation forever!”
Bai Cha stared at him expressionlessly, exerted force again, and completely turned him to ashes.
Then she slowly turned her head and looked at the offering table.
The curtains were suddenly lifted by the wind.
Outside, the sky had turned dark at some point.
The red moonlight, just like in her dream, shone in, illuminating Bai Cha, who already looked somewhat ghostly.
