Chapter 171: Master Zhou! (Second update)
“Little Long, can you tell me exactly what is so strange about Zhou’s?” Cui Feiyan is sharp and has already started to formulate some theories.
In response, Huang Xiaolong reveals the gruesome truth of Zhou’s owner, who has been murdering children and using their skin to make dolls, to Cui Feiyan.
Cui Feiyan feels chills down her spine upon hearing these words, but like Chu Tingting, her overwhelming emotion is anger! She is filled with righteous indignation!
“This perverted lunatic! He violates all laws of nature! This is unspeakable! Little Long! Call the police! We must report this immediately!” Cui Feiyan declares through gritted teeth.
“Um… Feiyan, why do you and the beauty teacher both insist on calling the police?” Huang Xiaolong is speechless. “There’s no need to call the police at all.”
“Who is the beauty teacher?” Cui Feiyan asks, puzzled.
“Come on, Feiyan, let’s go upstairs.” Huang Xiaolong doesn’t answer her question but instead grins and leads the way up the stairs.
They ascend the stairs to the second floor.
And what they see is a second floor entirely bathed in a sticky, vicious red!
This kind of red is extremely dense, exuding a strong stench of blood!
“Uh… It’s resentment…such strong resentment, it must be a wicked ghost…” Huang Xiaolong nods and immediately smiles, “Okay, stop hiding in your ghost form, everyone come out…”
As soon as his voice falls!
“Hee-hee-hee ?You bastard, how dare you trespass here… Master Zhou will not let you off!”
A chilling voice rings out, sounding as fierce and violent as if it came straight from the underworld.
In the next moment…
One by one, red-clothed ghosts appear!
They are all Red Ghosts!
They are both male and female, from teenagers to young adults in their early twenties.
Their eyes all have a bloodthirsty and vicious look, like that of savage beasts.
“You damned creature! You dared to take our food! You’re dead! Master Zhou won’t spare you! We won’t spare you!” A Red Ghost shrieks, its ghastly eyes as terrifying as poisonous snakes.
A layer of eerie aura swirls around these Red Ghosts.
Huang Xiaolong observes that on the bodies of these Red Ghosts, each is pasted with a yellow charm seal.
Faint traces of mana fluctuate atop these seals.
“Oh? A puppet talisman? A talisman that can control ghosts?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrow, “Hehehehe, I never expected that the owner of Zhou’s would actually know real Daoist techniques… this is fun… really fun…”
Huang Xiaolong never thought that in this world, apart from himself, there were others who knew real Daoist techniques. This was the first time he had encountered this, and it was quite intriguing and interesting.
“Little Long, do you mean to say that like you, Zhou’s owner is also…a Taoist?”Cui Feiyan is astounded.
If the owner of Zhou’s is also a Taoist like Huang Xiaolong, then he will be very difficult to deal with!
In Cui Feiyan’s mind, Taoists are all incredibly powerful beings!
“Pfft Feiyan… I’m not a Taoist!” Huang Xiaolong barely suppresses a laugh. “And besides, why are you comparing me to that piece of trash? Yes, those Red Ghosts are affixed with real puppet talismans, but the talismans that pervert drew are too weak in mana. They can only control Red Ghosts…but he can’t even control an Orange Ghost.”
“Furthermore, that pervert also raises ghosts. These Red Ghosts are all cultivated by him, and then, he lets the Red Ghosts devour other weaker spirits to increase their own powers.”
Huang Xiaolong explains in detail.
Damn it, puppet talismans, raising ghosts… they’re all low-level, despicable means!
“Stop talking! Kill them!” The Red Ghosts let out a ferocious roar, and then, they all pounce towards Huang Xiaolong and Cui Feiyan!
“Little Long! They’re coming!” Cui Feiyan is scared and quickly buries her head in Huang Xiaolong’s chest, not daring to look at the onslaught of the menacing Red Ghosts.
“A bunch of fools!” Huang Xiaolong chuckled lightly, his hands lightly forming a seal.
Suddenly, a large patch of flame, born out of nothing, turned the second floor completely into a sea of fire.
In the blink of an eye, the red-clothed ghosts were bathing in a raging fire, and the frigid aura on their bodies crackling from the heat.
“Ahh ?Don’t! Master! Spare us! Don’t let our souls perish!”
“Master! We only did it because we had no choice Ah!!!!!! It hurts! I’m in agony!”
“If you destroy us! Master Zhou won’t let you go!”
“Boy! Master Zhou will reduce you to ashes, never to recover!”
The red-clothed ghosts issued heart-wrenching screams, pleading for mercy or threatening Huang Xiaolong, struggling as if they were being fried alive.
At this moment, in the midst of the raging flames, a fierce fire Kylin with furious red eyes ascended steadily!
It had a lion’s head, deer’s horns, tiger’s eyes, body of a deer, dragon’s scales, and a cow’s tail, all wrapped in flames… radiating an ancient aura and suppressing all evil spirits!
The Kylin’s eyes wide open, its roar devoured all the red-clothed ghosts in the sea of fire.
The Kylin and the raging fire erupted in a burst, turning into tiny sparks then disappeared into thin air.
The second floor became squeaky clean, within the intense heat was a mixture of an energizing aura of life.
“It’s fine now, Feiyan, don’t be afraid, all the terrifying ghosts and resentment here have been dispersed by me.” Huang Xiaolong comforted Cui Feiyan huddled up in his arms.
Only then did Cui Feiyan look around, “I… I see the sunlight… Little Long, you’re so strong, all those terrifying ghosts were all… all eliminated by you…”
“Hahahaha ?Feiyan, those were just red-clothed ghosts! They were so weak, no matter how many come, I will eliminate them! Hahaha! As for that so-called Master Zhou, I will reduce him to ashes. Oh, no, I will send him to a muscle-cramping hell.” Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily, “Come on, Feiyan, let’s go check out the third floor.”
The two climbed the stairs to the third floor of the shop.
It was cold here, but there was no aura of ghosts.
In other words, there were no apparitions here.
Lined up on the third floor were several freezers.
“Eh? Little Long, there are so many freezers.” Cui Feiyan curiously walked toward one of them.
“Wait, Feiyan, don’t go there.” Huang Xiaolong stopped Cui Feiyan.
He walked over to a freezer and found it filled with frozen decapitated heads of children!
Yes, heads!
And there were also some dismembered body parts, intestines, organs…
‘Disgusting… My god… this is just horrific…’ Huang Xiaolong lamented as he shook his head, ‘Thank god I stopped Feiyan from coming over, she would’ve been sick to her stomach if she had seen this.’
From the ceiling hung numerous hooks, just like the hooks used to hang meat in the market. Stripped human skin pieces were hanging on these hooks, and some of them were covered in blood.
Furthermore, Huang Xiaolong found scissors, sewing machines, silk threads… and other tools for making dolls.
“Hmm! This must be the scene where that perverted maniac handmade the human skin dolls.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Just at that moment!
“Hehehe ?Young man, sometimes, curiosity can really kill you.”
A cold masculine voice rang out.
Accompanied by footsteps echoing up the staircase.
