(These two Chapters are in the wrong order...)

It’s important to note that an eerie sequence doesn’t represent strength or weakness.

It purely depends on how much of a threat they pose to humans.

So don’t think that just because the Drowned Ghost is ranked eighty-first in the eerie sequence, it’s easy to deal with.

Soon, the foul stench filled the entire security room, barely allowing a vague outline of the Drowned Ghost to be seen in the dark.

Captain Mao and the observer surnamed Chen decisively moved closer to Lv Bai to guard against an attack from the Drowned Ghost.

The observer, surnamed Chen, was still loyally filming with his phone, not noticing that the phone had already gone black in the chaos.

If Lv Bai weren’t still by their side, they would have probably run away by now.

"Lv... Master Lv, what should we do now?"

Considering the stench was simply unbearable, Captain Mao had to cover his mouth and nose with his hand, making his voice sound somewhat muffled.

Lv Bai tossed aside the poker in his hand, stood up casually, and blocked the two: "Simple, I’ll take action."

It is worth mentioning that although the Drowned Ghost had entered the security room, it did not move to harm anyone but swayed its head side to side, as if searching for an appropriate prey.

It had no expression, yet from its vague shadow, it seemed quite displeased.

"Master Lv, according to the action department’s expert group, the sequence 81 Drowned Ghost doesn’t select its prey."

Under the influence of the stench, Captain Mao’s fear inexplicably diminished a lot, and he quickly recalled information about the Drowned Ghost.

His expression gradually turned serious: "Isn’t this a bit off?"

Lv Bai, unconcerned by the Drowned Ghost nearby, even glanced back unperturbed at Captain Mao: "Are you saying there’s other eeriness in the school? Or someone is up to no good?"

Don’t forget, this case was alarmed because six female college students went missing. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But this Ke Mountain Art University isn’t a girl’s school, so why were only female students harmed?

Lv Bai turned his head to look at the Drowned Ghost in front of him, taking a step forward: "Are you being sexist now?"

The Drowned Ghost made a gurgling sound, seemingly unable to speak like the Red-clothed Female Ghost.

Seeing this, Lv Bai didn’t hesitate, immediately retrieving an Eight Trigrams Mirror and a Copper Coin Sword from the tool bag on the table.

Given the Lv Bao Bureau’s importance placed on him, acquiring these items was just a matter of words.

The red string tying the Copper Coin Sword was soaked in black dog blood, and the Eight Trigrams Mirror was an old item.

Frankly speaking, the Thunder Technique in Maoshan Daoist Skill could harm the eerie, but whether glutinous rice, black dog blood, these things could affect the eerie, Lv Bai couldn’t guarantee.

However, given that the Maoshan Daoist Technique describes it this way, he naturally didn’t mind trying it out.

After all, he couldn’t just rely on Palm Thunder every time he encountered eerieness, could he?

Whether the Thunder Technique is effective aside, the commotion it causes is a bit too significant, so it’s best to master some other techniques.

Lv Bai picked up the Copper Coin Sword and entered the [Flash Time] state, then pointed the sword tip at the Drowned Ghost, putting it on the table.

Taking advantage of the remaining bit of [Flash Time], he held the Eight Trigrams Mirror and aimed it at the moon outside the window.

The surrounding images resumed flowing again.

Captain Mao and the observer surnamed Chen happened to see Lv Bai holding the Eight Trigrams Mirror, drawing a bright moonlight into the mirror.

This scene alone was enough to shock the two onlookers, not expecting even more magical events to follow.

Lv Bai then aligned the Eight Trigrams Mirror with the Copper Coin Sword, slowly moving from the sword tip to the hilt.

Instantly, the Copper Coin Sword radiated dazzling golden light, like an eye-catching glowstick, bright as gold, blindingly so.

The Drowned Ghost, which had been patiently observing, seemed to sense the threat from the Copper Coin Sword and started wavering.

The messy hair on its head rapidly extended, swaying like underwater plants in a river.

Lv Bai, just a step away from the Drowned Ghost earlier, felt as though he was close enough to sense the "water plants’" temperature amidst their disgusting dance.

This was almost unbearable.

He decisively stepped back half a pace and made a sign with his fingers.

Whoosh~

The golden-glowing Copper Coin Sword suddenly seemed to gain intelligence, shooting straight at the Drowned Ghost.

Unexpectedly, the Copper Coin Sword did not penetrate the water-logged, bloated body of the Drowned Ghost but instead emitted a sharp buzzing, as if hitting an iron plate.

"Master Lv, be careful."

Seeing the fight start, Captain Mao immediately dragged the observer surnamed Chen to the corner of the security room, giving Lv Bai ample space to perform.

You can’t blame them for being useless; after the Drowned Ghost appeared, all communication devices malfunctioned, leaving them unable to call for reinforcements.

Two small-caliber pistols wouldn’t make much difference, only add to the atmosphere at best.

"Gurgle... No wonder you’re brave and gurgle... meddlesome, showing some skill after all."

The Drowned Ghost suddenly spoke, its voice extremely eerie, as if liquid continually poured out of its throat.

Lv Bai controlled the glowing Copper Coin Sword to hover in front of him.

"Gurgle... You don’t even know you’ve been targeted, do you?"

The Drowned Ghost’s mocking words, mixed with gurgling sounds, sounded rather comical instead, completely devoid of any horror atmosphere.

"Targeted?"

Lv Bai repeated the word, squinting slightly: "Are you organized?"

The Drowned Ghost didn’t answer again, controlling its hair, similar to water plants, to stab straight at Lv Bai.

Utilizing the powerful effect of [Flash Time], Lv Bai easily tilted his head to dodge, and in a reverse motion, he drew out a Yellow Paper Talisman to stick onto the water plants.

After sticking the talisman paper, Lv Bai made a hand sign in front of him: "I don’t like enigmas."

The talisman paper attached to the Drowned Ghost’s hair flickered a few times, then released countless golden threads, quickly spreading across the entire body of the Drowned Ghost along its hair.

Black smoke billowed where the golden threads reached, and before the Drowned Ghost could react, Lv Bai swiftly swung his right hand, maintaining a sword-finger gesture.

The suspended Copper Coin Sword immediately shot into the Drowned Ghost, with a muffled "boom," pinning the Drowned Ghost firmly to the wall.

Thud~

The observer surnamed Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed once, and the phone he was using to film slipped from his hand without him realizing it.

Thanks to the golden light from the Copper Coin Sword, Captain Mao and the observer surnamed Chen could see the entire process clearly.

The scene of Lv Bai pinning the Drowned Ghost to the wall in just two or three moves left the two utterly stunned.

"Master Lv, this is..."

Captain Mao instinctively grabbed a cigarette, but his hands trembled so much he couldn’t light it: "We’re professionals, Xiaochen, don’t panic..."

Lv Bai ignored the shocked pair in the corner and stepped forward to face the Drowned Ghost.

He gently flicked the Copper Coin Sword’s blade twice, still displaying a kind smile on his face: "Can you talk now?"
