the courage to go up and check. I usually avoid these lunatics.But that man just mentioned a ghost face tattoo, and it was uneven… could it be the bloody ghost faceI hastily pulled out my phone, my mi...Lin Yanhuan frowned and pinched my wrist, saying, "Taking you, a pregnant woman, to such a dangerous place What are you joking about!"

"As long as I'm here, nothing bad will happen! How far do you want to take this! Things could get messy for you if you push it too far!" I glared at him.

A gust of cold wind blew, and a black-robed, green-faced Yin official appeared before me, leading a squad of Yin soldiers.

"Little Empress, the Celestial Emperor sent us to protect you and to obey your commands." The Yin official bowed to me.

I nodded and turned to Lin Yanhuan, saying, "Let's go. You should have known at Haiyan Tower that some things might only need a gesture or a talisman."

Lin Yanhuan sighed: "Alright, alright... just put this on first."

He handed me a vest and put a particularly heavy helmet on my head.

These two things are so heavy! They're much heavier than my stomach!

We arrived at a two-story rental house. The surrounding people had been driven away, and even the few onlookers were chased off. Those who disobeyed were directly knocked to the ground and tied up.

The imposing presence sent everyone who wanted to see the commotion running for cover, and the surroundings became eerily quiet.

The rental house was a two-story detached building with a brick walled courtyard. Team A was stationed outside the door. The squad leader immediately approached Lin Yanhuan and reported, "There are several thugs inside! Two comrades were just slashed, we killed two of them."

"What about the wounded soldiers Why did you kill them directly Couldn't you have controlled their actions!" Lin Yanhua immediately asked.

He's not truly indifferent to human life... My anger towards him lessened slightly.

The team leader shook his head. "The situation is terrifying. There seems to be some abnormal gas inside that makes us dizzy and lightheaded. The rioters charged in like they were possessed, and when we hit their thighs, they acted as if they didn't feel a thing and kept coming. We could only finish them off completely."

I looked at the overwhelming evil emanating from the courtyard and thought of the ghost swarm in Huilong Village. One swarm had taken a lot out of Jiang Qiyun, so this place must be even more terrifying

I turned my head and asked the Yin official, "Where is the Emperor"

"Your Majesty and your elder brother went to find the guide, he is key... Your Majesty said that our young mistress would definitely not obediently stay in the carriage, so let us come and listen to our young mistress's orders." The Yin official bowed in response.

How should I dispose of this The evil qi here is so strong that even the little ancestor in my stomach can't bear it.

This evil thrilled them, causing them to act with wild abandon and toss me around like a ragdoll.

I patted my stomach soothingly and said to Lin Yanhuan, “Don’t rush it, the food here…”

Lin Yanhuan frowned at me, and I immediately shut my mouth.

He pulled me to a safe corner: “Xiao Qiao, there are some things you can’t say in front of others.”

“Alright, but you need to understand, I suspect they're all possessed by soul devourers. Beating their bodies is useless; as long as the soul devourer doesn't get banished, it'll just possess someone else.”

"How do we take it in" Lin Yanhuan frowned and asked.

"I'm going in to collect."

"No!" he growled, without hesitation.

"...Are there any others here who will be collected The evil spirit of the soul-refining technique doesn't harm me, I just need to seize the opportunity and collect them! I'll bring my Yin soldiers in—"

"Xiao Qiao! You are a woman! And you're pregnant! How could I let you in These men would never agree!" Lin Yanhuan's face flushed with anger.

With his personality, he probably feels it's a huge disgrace to be held back by a woman, right

"...then come in with me. No one else is allowed, because I can't keep an eye on everyone, okay" I compromised.

Lin Yanhuan's brows relaxed slightly: "Okay, wait two minutes for me."

He quickly took off his suit jacket, then ripped off his tie, cufflinks, and collar clip, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and put on his full gear.

His bodyguard beside him was nervously staring at me, his eyes seemed to be blaming Lin Yanhuan.

Lin Yanhuan was ready and told the team leader to have everyone retreat. He said he and I would go in and take a look.

The squad leader asked in horror, "Mr. Lin, are you crazy! How can you go to the front line! And this...this little girl is pregnant—"

"It's fine, she's an expert in this area. Get the people out of there immediately." Lin Yanhuan said forcefully.

I took out a small bottle of medicine from my own small handbag and handed it to Lin Yanhuan.

"What is it" he asked, frowning.

"...Poison," I rolled my eyes, and his bodyguard immediately reached out to take it.

This is a talisman my brother bought at the ghost market. It can briefly open your third eye (the shopkeeper boasted that it lasts for fifteen minutes). If Lin Yanhuan goes in with us, he won't be able to see certain things and he'll be in danger.

This eye drops bottle is worth NT$100,000!! I'm heartbroken to see it just given to young master Lin.

Lin Yanhuan pulled away the bodyguard's hand and took it herself, asking, "How do you use this"

"Dab it on the forehead and around the eyes, focus more on Baihui point and Yintang."

He did as he was told, then asked, "I know the In Danding point, but where is Baihui"

I pointed to the center of my head: "Here...the convergence of the three yangs and five energies, where a hundred meridians intersect."

He wiped his face while shaking his head, a wry smile on his lips: "…You're really... quite knowledgeable."

The phantom soldiers cleared a path for me, pushing open the closed courtyard gate. Strange "thunk, thunk, thunk" sounds came from inside.

The air was thick with a pungent, fishy stench that made my stomach churn.

In the messy yard, there were two pools of blood. There was no light in the house, only a heavy sense of evil.

I tugged on Lin Yanhuan's sleeve, afraid he would act recklessly. Who knew he would misunderstand and grab my hand back, saying, "If you're afraid, just go out first."

I hesitantly raised my hand and said, "Young Master Lin, how can I cast a spell with you like this"

He was a little awkward, and let go of me.

I burst through the slightly ajar door, my hands trembling as I gripped the doorknob.

Opposite the wall, there was a bottomless black hole. Inside it, wisps of faint black smoke periodically billowed out, as if something inside were breathing!

A blood-soaked man held a butcher knife with a blade that had been hacked and curled. On the table before him lay two mutilated corpses, chopped into pieces, their organs scattered messily, intestines trailing in the blood across the floor.

Bathed in the light of the flashlight, he slowly turned to face us....ure flame quietly consumed the talisman. Halfway through, he flung the paper outward, and several wisps of eerie fire immediately ignited at the four corners of my courtyard.The deathly silence that p...
