Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, that was a story from two years ago.
Now, I am running a small real estate agency.
In my spare time, I still think of Xiaojing and Zhou Hao, the unfortunate couple, and of course, those six lively lives.
I once visited their hometown, trying to find out the source of the resurrection technique, but the villagers kept mum about it.
I feel powerless, knowing that this evil sorcery poses a threat to innocent lives every day.
"Ring, ring—" The phone interrupted my thoughts.
"Hello, Meijia Real Estate Agency, are you looking to rent a place? Let me check."
I flipped through the accounts for a while, "There is one more, yes, the one listed online. You can come to view it anytime."
Not long after, a young woman in her twenties knocked on my door.
The girl was dressed in a suit, looked like she worked in a bank or similar place.
She looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her.
The property was close to the company, just a five-minute walk.
I took the customer into the house, introducing the functions of each room one by one.
"This is the master bedroom, with ample storage space, suitable for one person."
The girl smiled shyly, looking very satisfied with the room, carefully examining every corner.
While she was distracted, I quickly drew a moxie line three times at the door.
"Come, let me show you the kitchen." I warmly waved to her.
The girl walked to the door but stopped, lingeringly touching the mattress.
"What brand is this mattress? It's so soft."
"Seems like Sealy, do you want to see the kitchen? Come over." I waved to her again, calling her out.
"Not in a rush, I still want to see the other rooms, I really like this suite." The girl seemed deeply attracted to this bedroom, very content, and slightly exaggeratedly ran to the inner room of the suite.
A mischievous smile crept onto my lips.
Of course, this suite on the first floor is the most heavily shrouded in Yin energy, otherwise Xiaojing wouldn't have lived here.
The moxie line contains positive energy, able to drive away evil spirits, so she couldn't get out.
I was too lazy to continue the charade with her.
I locked the door, took out my phone, and saw that the online audience had reached 200,000 people.
The barrage was flying.
Two years ago, I decided to eradicate all resurrection corpses from this world, and this house with heavy Yin energy could attract them the most, making it the perfect bait.
So I opened a real estate agency as a cover, secretly testing people who came to view the house.
If they were ordinary people, I would refuse tenants by raising the rent, but if they were resurrection corpses, this would be their burial ground.
I started a video call, and the video connected quickly.
Master Huang's mouth was foaming white, it looked like he had not stopped talking during the live broadcast, today he would probably sell dozens of Shanhaizhen.
"Master, another fish took the bait."
"Alright, folks, who wants to watch the live ghost capture, send small gifts! If you need to buy small exorcism accessories, click the link at number 8."
"Hurry up and come over."
Master Huang was good in every aspect, except that he was too narrow-minded, selling five-dollar postage small accessories.
I urged him for another reason; I always felt that this resurrection corpse was different from the previous ones, and I had an uneasy feeling.
I pulled up my phone gallery and started looking for information.
There were sounds coming from the room.
Probably the resurrection corpse was trying to break the window.
But it was all in vain, every window had iron grilles outside painted with pig blood, she couldn't escape.
We had killed four resurrection corpses here before, and today she wouldn't be able to escape either.
I continued searching for information quickly.
There were eerie howls coming from the room, probably she had realized she was trapped.
The online viewers surpassed 300,000.
I chatted with the audience while searching for information.
"If you want to see Master Huang using the Palm Thunder, press 1; if you want to see the Flame Sun Technique, press 2.
"If you want to see this girl exorcise demons? Then you need to send twenty big rockets."
I wanted them to retreat, but to my surprise, the barrage was filled with rockets, instantly reaching twenty.
I shook my head with a bitter smile, realizing I had only just started learning Daoist arts from Master Huang for two years, and I was still a beginner. It seemed like my reputation would be ruined by these twenty rockets.
I opened my coat and threw it out, revealing a pink Daoist robe.
I opened the tissue box on the coffee table with my left hand and took out dozens of talismans.
I kicked the armrest of the sofa firmly, and the armrest "pop" lifted, ejecting a peach wood sword.
This house had been transformed over two years and was now filled with weapons and mechanisms. Today, it would be me who would end you!
Suddenly, a photo appeared on my phone, and I was stunned.
The nurse from Zhou Hao's hospital?
Wasn't she locked in a secret room here by Xiaojing two years ago?
I quickly realized, no, two years ago, there was a death, but her skin had been peeled off, and her identity couldn't be confirmed, it could also be another victim.
But indeed, the nurse did disappear two years ago, could she have been skinned by other resurrection corpses?
Usually, the skin could only last for a year, and she had maintained it for two years, which meant only one thing.
She was the seventh girl killed by the resurrection corpse, and the resurrection corpse completed the final ceremony, permanently occupying her skin.
She was a complete resurrection corpse.
Thinking of this made me break out in a cold sweat.
Master Huang, how much longer until you arrive?
I was anxious.
The pounding on the door intensified; I had never dealt with a complete resurrection corpse before, would I be able to survive this?
"Boom," the door collapsed, but there was no one behind it.
No, I immediately chanted the incantation: "Tianfa qingqing, difa lingling, yinyang jiejing, shuiling xiansheng, yinyang fajing, zhenxing suxian, suxian zhenxing, wu feng san mao zhengjun rulu ling!"
I opened my celestial eyes, searching for the image of the resurrection corpse.
It was said that a complete resurrection corpse could hide its form, and it seemed to be true.
A white shadow flashed by, above!
The resurrection corpse charged straight at me.
I held the peach wood sword in front of my chest and threw out more talismans with my other hand.
But it was all in vain; the resurrection corpse broke through the talisman formation. I swung my sword, but she caught it with both hands.
I was forced to step back continuously, eventually pushed into the bathroom, where the peach wood sword became the barrier between us.
I rotated my wrist. "Eastern Mount Tai Thunder, Southern Hengshan Thunder, Western Huashan Thunder, Northern Hengshan Thunder, Central Songshan Thunder, unleash the five thunders."
My wrist made a light cracking sound a few times, barely emitting a faint blue light, like a gas stove failing to ignite.
The resurrection corpse roared, breaking the peach wood sword in half.
This is it, I thought.
A bolt of lightning struck the resurrection corpse's back, causing it to stagger back a few steps.
"Whoever hasn't followed yet, please follow!" Master Huang shouted at the screen.
"It's already this late, hurry and save me. It's a complete one this time!" I shouted desperately at him.
Master Huang pulled out a Seven Star Sword from behind and threw it to me. I poked the wall's light switch with the sword tip.
The light turned on, and the shadow of Shanhaizhen was reflected all over the room.
The resurrection corpse was trapped under the shadow of Shanhaizhen, retreated two steps, and then let out a wild roar.
Master Huang and I stood side by side.
We both raised the Seven Star Sword and nodded at each other, shouting the iconic slogan before killing the resurrection corpse.
"Folks, send small gifts-"
