44 sharply pointed criminal
You hurry into the mountain gate!" The little demon attendant said, "These heads are quite devoid of spirits. We can't bind them, only manage to restrain them!""Well, okay." I nodded and turned to Aun...This was my first time riding in a police car, and the driver was a former special forces soldier. His reckless driving scared me so much that I couldn't even open my eyes. My brother acted as my seatbelt, securing me to the backseat.
When the speed exceeded one hundred and sixty miles per hour, I felt the front of the car lift up. When we drove over a speed bump, it launched us several meters into the air before crashing back down heavily.
My brother couldn't help but say, "Lao Lu, can you drive more steadily My sister—"
"Just bear with it, when chasing someone, you wouldn't have time for this. If you get carsick, there are garbage bags at the back," Officer Lu's cold voice came from the front.
The female officer in the passenger seat turned her head and smiled, saying, "Captain Lu has been very kind to you all. If you weren't here, he could drive at 180."
I dared not speak—scared to spit it out! People were on a mission, and even if I got motion sick, I couldn't delay them. Besides, we were the ones who insisted on coming along.
The suspect was the middle-aged woman's husband. According to the surveillance footage, he boarded a large bus and then crossed the barrier at the highway rest stop, walking alone into the dark woods. By the time I arrived, a large police force had already surrounded the area and began searching the mountains.
It's very difficult to hunt in the desolate mountains and ravines of darkness. My brother used the Mu family's method of seeking out evil spirits to track, hiding aside to secretly insert incense. That special red incense was inserted into the ground, and the direction of the smoke was used to judge. If there were gusts of ghostly wind or wandering souls, the smoke would sway abnormally.
Three wisps of smoke all drifted in one direction, indicating that direction was heavy with negative energy. My brother gave me a look, and we both knew we had to get rid of the ghost before the suspect was killed.
There were policemen all around, looking very official. We had to be low-key with this "feudal superstition" business. After walking for a while, we heard the sound of grinding teeth coming from behind some old trees. As soon as we got closer, a dark figure jumped out.
I chased after the ghost, clutching a talisman. Suddenly, Officer Lu sprang out from the side, kicking the shadow several meters away with a flying kick before rushing over to subdue it.
The shadow struggled violently, Officer Lu acted swiftly and decisively, snapping the shadow's arm with a twist and then pummeling it with several punches. The shadow twitched heavily a few times, letting out a painful roar.
My brother and I shrank back in fear. Officer Lu's stance was intimidatingly aggressive, and we were afraid he might accidentally hurt us.
The roar of that shadow was clearly not that of a normal person, but one filled with terror.
As expected, even ghosts are afraid of evil people... Officer Lu's methods are too ruthless.
I was closest, and before Officer Lu's colleagues arrived, I sneaked up and stuck a talisman on the shadow's forehead. Officer Lu glared at me, about to reprimand me, when he saw wisps of black smoke coming from the talisman.
That shadowy figure's forehead had a few small spikes. What the heck is this How can there be horns
"Brother, brother, this guy is hiding inside and won't come out!" I saw the black shadow even revealing a sinister smile, and I was so scared that I quickly cried for help.
My brother, without hesitation, took out several exorcism talismans and slapped them all over that person's face. He muttered under his breath: "You think you can bully us because our Taoist practice is shallow I have plenty of talismans! I'll stick you to death! See if you can get out!"
"That's enough!" Officer Lu couldn't see the sharp point on the man's forehead, but he could see the place where the talisman was stuck smoking.
"Old Lu, everyone said this person has problems!" My brother raged, "Don't you see he's smoking"
“I’m saying you guys better not hurt the suspect!” Officer Lu shouted. “If you burn him, I’ll have to write a report!”
I watched as the suspect's arm was twisted and his face covered in blood. I silently scorned Officer Lu in my heart—you were so brutal and you still have the audacity to talk to us like that
I summoned out the ghost attendants in white robes. The moment they appeared, they emitted blue smoke and ran far away: "My Lady, this policeman has too much killing energy on him. We dare not get too close!"
"Then quickly take this ghost away!" I said anxiously. The ghost wouldn't leave me alone, what could we do If we were taken back to the police station, there was no way we could handle it.
The little ghost clerk shook his head vigorously: "This isn't a malevolent spirit! It's a ghost clerk who escaped punishment for wrongdoing, or one of our old seniors. We don't have the ability to detain him!"
I thought of the images of black and white impermanence carved inside the coffin lid, and hurriedly asked, "Where are your Seven Lords and Eight Lords!"
"Seven and Eight Grandpa are so busy, we don't know where they are..."
Well, I don't think I have the ability to summon the Black and White Impermanence either. My brother and I are both worried. The suspect's mouth twitched into a sinister grin, as if mocking our helplessness.
At this time, a large number of police officers arrived. Officer Lu picked up the suspect and threw him to his colleagues who handcuffed him.
I'm so anxious I can barely stand it. I watched helplessly as the ghost hid inside a person, but I couldn't exorcise it. This would be a disaster for my reputation. If word got out, how many of my colleagues would laugh us out of town
I took out my phone to call home, praying that Jiang Qiyun would answer the phone and have a big heart to pick up.
Just as I kept thinking about Jiang Qiyun, Jiang Qiyun, I saw a familiar figure appear in the distance—the very man I had silently been thinking about.
He walked toward me against the tide of police officers, unseen by everyone around.
His eyes were calm yet focused on me, as if everything around us was irrelevant.
As he passed the suspect, he made a hand gesture. A white claw shot out from the suspect's body, and a small green horned demon was pushed out. The white claw held the demon firmly in its palm.
The little goblin had a pointed head and a big belly, with thin limbs. It trembled as it hugged its head. As soon as it appeared, the suspect suddenly collapsed to his knees and fainted.
Jiang Qiyun walked in front of me, frowning and said: “Don’t you know your own level You dare to confront evil spirits and ghosts”
I didn't dare say that I was trying to be brave and wanted to slap Shen Qingrui in the face. Thinking about how close Shen Qingrui and he were, my heart felt a little sour, which is what they call jealousy.
"...How did you get here I didn't mean to trouble you."
You call me in your heart, and I can hear it... When you're busy, I can't come right away, but when you're free, I'll be there as soon as possible.
His voice was flat, as if he wasn't angry at all. His current tolerance towards me felt strangely unsettling.
My brother said to him that day: "I know about... You treat my sister well."
I didn't catch the main point, what did my brother find out What does this have to do with me, why should he be nicer to me
"If you ever encounter a ghost that the Ghost Official can't restrain, summon the Black and White Impermanence. Just add their names after the Bao Gao." Jiang Qiyun reminded me.
"How about that I'm just an ordinary person, they are deities of the underworld," I said, feeling a little uneasy.
Jiang Qiyun gave a faint smile: "You are my wife in a marriage arranged by fate, yet you still dream of being an ordinary person"
