Chapter 287 Glow Sticks
All three of them had applied cow tears to their faces, and Li Jian could clearly see black smoke billowing out of the security room door.
Leon said, "A vengeful ghost is causing trouble inside. Someone has probably already been killed. Break it open!"
"let me."
Li Jian walked to the security door, his gaze cold and stern. He lowered his body slightly and slowly raised his left leg, as if gathering strength.
His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. The next second, his left leg shot out like a spring, kicking the security door with a fierce momentum.
"Bam—!"
With a loud bang, the security door swung open, the screws on the door frame loosening slightly. The door slammed heavily against the wall, producing a dull thud that seemed to shake the entire hallway.
Ah Qun was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Li Jian, your legwork is incredible! Have you trained in it?"
Li Jian pulled his leg back, dusted off his trousers, and said casually, "It's nothing, just exercising more often."
Leon pushed up his sunglasses, a smile playing on his lips: "Not bad, Li Jian, your legwork is more effective than my ghost-repelling tools."
Next time I catch a ghost, I'll just let you use your feet directly.
Li Jian glanced at him, his tone slightly teasing: "Then you'll have to pay me more; kicking down doors is hard work."
Li Jian reached out and pressed the switch on the wall twice, but the light did not respond.
The room was pitch black, with black mist swirling in the air as if it were alive, making one feel suffocated.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "The light in the room is broken!"
Leon pushed up his sunglasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light in the darkness.
His tone was calm, yet tinged with a hint of gravity: "This place has been controlled by the energy field of a vengeful ghost. All electrical components are malfunctioning. Ordinary switches are useless now; we need to go inside to discuss this further."
Ah Qun gripped Li Jian's arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "Then what do we do? We can't just go in in the dark, can we?"
Lyon smiled mysteriously, took a glow stick out of his pocket, and gently bent it, causing it to emit a faint green light.
He waved his glow stick, a hint of smugness in his voice: "If high technology doesn't work, then let's use some 'low technology.' This thing is an essential artifact for exorcising ghosts, and it's not afraid of energy field interference!"
Li Jian couldn't help but complain, "Where did you buy those glow sticks from, kids' toy store?"
Leon pushed up his sunglasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light: "Li Jian, don't underestimate this glow stick. It can not only provide light, but also interfere with the energy field of vengeful spirits to some extent. Of course—" he suddenly lowered his voice, "most importantly, it's cheap and easy to use."
Ah Qun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Leon, your exorcism equipment is really... unique."
Leon shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Practicality is the key! Let's go, don't waste any more time."
Li Jianyi, a man of great courage, said: "I'll go first, and you'll bring up the rear."
Li Jian's idea was that Leon had many tricks up his sleeve, and if he got into trouble, Leon would still have a way to get him out.
Li Jian and the other two went inside.
Li Jian led the way, with A-Qun close behind.
Just as Lyon was about to go inside, the security door, which had been open, suddenly closed.
Bang!
The security door opened automatically without any wind, causing the entire room to tremble twice.
"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap!"
Li Jian quickly turned on his high-powered flashlight. The flashlight's beam could illuminate more than ten meters in the dark, but in this room, it seemed to be swallowed by darkness, and he couldn't even reach an area within a meter's radius.
"Ah Qun? Ah Qun?"
Li Jian didn't hear A-Qun's response, so he couldn't help but call out twice.
Strangely, there was no sound behind him.
But Li Jian clearly remembered that when he first came in, A-Qun was following behind him.
He also specifically instructed Ah-Qun not to leave his vicinity by more than one meter.
"what!"
A woman's scream rang in my ears; judging from the tone of her voice, it was Ah-Qun!
Without thinking twice, Li Jian took out the "Starry Night Exorcising Water" from his spatial ring.
This is Lyon's exclusive secret recipe.
It contains cow tears, black dog blood, cinnabar powder, and a little bit of pure boy's urine, so it can be said that good is evil!
"Heaven and Earth are the origin of all things; through countless eons of cultivation, I have attained divine power; within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme; my body is bathed in golden light, which illuminates me; Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Origin of Thunder, may this decree be issued hastily!"
Li Jian chanted the Taoist Golden Light Mantra and held the "Starry Sky Exorcising Water," then sprayed it forcefully.
puff- puff-
A cloud of colorless water mist was sprayed out.
Sizzle—Sizzle—Sizzle—
The water mist collided with the black mist, like a red-hot iron meeting pork, making a sizzling sound.
Somewhere.
Li Jian seemed to hear a vengeful ghost wailing in his ear.
"Sure enough!"
Seeing that it was effective, Li Jian sprayed it a few more times.
Although the black energy was fierce, it still retreated when it encountered the Star Exorcising Water.
Li Jian's gaze sharpened as he noticed Ah Qun lying unconscious on the ground.
Li Jian rushed over, picked up A-Qun's soft body, and shook her vigorously: "Wake up!"
At this moment, the black mist inside the room contracted, and the red light shone brightly.
Li Jian felt as if he had fallen into a lava cave from Antarctica.
A wave of scorching heat hit him in the face, and the air was filled with the burning smell of sulfur mixed with volcanic ash, which made him cough.
"Where the hell is the fire?"
Li Jian glanced around and noticed a microwave oven on the dining table in the living room. Something inside was baking and it looked like it was about to explode.
"Damn it, who the hell is so inconsiderate as to leave the microwave on!"
Li Jian wanted to turn off the microwave, but as soon as he reached out, he felt a burning pain.
"Damn it, I don't know if it's a hallucination. If it's not, then my hand is ruined."
They knew perfectly well that ghosts could only use psychological tactics.
However, many people are still scared to death by ghosts.
This involves many scientific factors, because the human body is controlled by nerves and hormones.
Even without external stimulation, as long as the brain perceives that the person is being attacked, such as by burns or frostbite, the body will react.
Li Jian saw an interesting experiment, but let's not get sidetracked.
Li Jian's gaze sharpened, and he rushed to the socket, taking out a plastic clothes drying rack from his spatial ring.
Swish!
Li Jian swung his club sharply, knocking the loose wire off the socket.
As the plug fell out, the black mist in the room dissipated, as if nothing had ever happened.
"It's all an illusion!"
Li Jian wiped his forehead and found only a handful of cold sweat.
That was really close.
If I hadn't prepared everything myself, if I hadn't had Leon's "Star Exorcising Water," and if I hadn't happened to have an insulated plastic clothesline in my spatial ring...
There's a high chance I'll be fine.
