Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 69: How Many Cards Are Hidden in the Pants

Two human faces that grew on Eryang’s arm screamed together in agony, causing him to sweat profusely, yet he gritted his teeth tightly, refusing to make any sound. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Wang Yunxiao grabbed his arm and pulled him into the sunlight. The faces vanished into ash instantly upon exposure to the sunlight, but they left two fresh, bloody wounds on his arm.

Eryang finally could not hold back a low groan and fell backwards with his head thrown back.

After dealing with the danger on his brother’s body, Wang Yunxiao then turned his attention toward the direction where the old man had just fled.

The old man lay on the ground, unconscious as well.

He had leaped like a grasshopper, jumping from the shadow of one street corner to another, his bizarre movements drawing the eyes of bystanders.

—This was the normal reaction of the Old Tianmen people.

The people of Old Tianmen had seen it all, who would scream and scatter like women? It must have been mostly the demon’s deception.

If possible, it would certainly have liked to target Wang Yunxiao and his group as well.

But when his group stood together in formation, it rendered his sorcery completely ineffective, forcing him to turn to deceiving others instead.

As soon as the sunlight hit the old man, he emitted billowing black smoke, slapping onto the ground with a thud, silent thereafter.

Wang Yunxiao watched intently as at the moment the old man fell to the ground, a wisp of black smoke escaped from his bleeding mouth and nose, and in a flash, it attacked the face of a middle-aged woman who was standing nearby to watch the excitement.

The expression on the middle-aged woman’s face blurred momentarily, as if she instinctively wanted to vomit but suppressed it forcefully, turning pale before walking away.

Does this thing not have any cooldown time for its possession skills?

Wang Yunxiao did not immediately pursue, confident that Eryang’s stab had effectively injured the demon. In the intense noon sunlight, the demon’s powers were greatly suppressed, making it the best opportunity to kill it.

Unfortunately, it was unclear just how long this creature’s energy bar was.

If it could possess people indefinitely... no, even if it just possessed ten people along the way, the impact would be severe enough.

They couldn’t just kill every one they saw, could they?

Wang Yunxiao was not sure if his brothers could bear such responsibility.

However, there was not only bad news; at least now, they had figured out three of its tricks.

Possession of bodies, deceiving hearts, and what seemed to be particularly vicious facial poison sores.

One more thing, it could hide in broad daylight among people without being detected.

It seemed that the anomaly he sensed last time was not an illusion.

A person... no, even a demon, how many tricks could it hide?

The experience of exploring this new ground could certainly be applied next time.

Third Master Ding came downstairs, first placating the shopkeeper and the shop assistant with good words, then leisurely walked to Wang Yunxiao’s side, glanced at the corpse across the street that had decomposed into a pool of blood and bones, and nodded, "Young hero, excellent skill. No wonder this old demon is so wary of you that it doesn’t even dare to show its face."

Although it was Eryang who had delivered the last slash, if Wang Yunxiao hadn’t forced it to flee in panic, it would not have met such an end.

Yet Wang Yunxiao was not pleased, he said coldly, "Now this murder in broad daylight, if it were the demon itself, it would be somewhat manageable, but like this, innocent bystanders possessed and dying in the streets, I fear the police station will be hard to appease. Third Master, do you perhaps have any solution?"

Third Master Ding looked at Wang Yunxiao helplessly.

He thought to himself it was only because these uncivilized ruffians were neither light nor heavy-handed.

But he dared not voice this thought.

The facts had demonstrated that Wang Yunxiao and his followers were ruthless, and even the demon head could not withstand them.

With his slight build, what could he use to resist?

"Young Hero need not worry, the moment the demonic spirit entered the body, this man was beyond saving. The guilt of murder naturally falls on that friend. The constables at the Yamen also know the severity, and they won’t trouble your brothers."

Third Master Ding said with a smile, "In the past, indeed, there were instances of handling things perfunctorily, just finding someone to take the blame to close the case. But even if you close this case, with the demon head still causing chaos outside, the problems will only get more severe. When the higher-ups eventually inquire, you might even have to personally capture the culprit, wouldn’t that be more dangerous? So, facing this situation, it’s best to honestly admit that a demon is at fault and then invite an expert to deal with it."

"Like the Special Service Bureau?"

Upon mentioning the Special Service Bureau, Third Master Ding’s eye corner twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Young Hero jests, the Special Service Bureau doesn’t have time to deal with such trivial matters. It’s nothing more than seeing if the deceased’s family has the means to invite an expert from outside this world to perform rituals, to subdue demons and eliminate evil."

If even possession by demons in broad daylight is considered a trivial matter, then what major issues does the Special Service Bureau really need to handle?

At this moment, the sound of patrol police whistles could already be heard in the distance, as the figures of two policemen were seen rushing towards this side.

Wang Yunxiao gave Youtiao a look, signalling him to lead Eryang and the other brothers to retreat, then turned to Third Master Ding and said, "Third Master, the police station just changed its leadership, and as they say, ’a new broom sweeps clean’; they might use this incident as a pretext to come after us. If it’s convenient for you, why not walk to the entrance of the Yamen with me to act as a witness and explain things thoroughly to them, to avoid future troubles?"

"That’s actually quite inconvenient."

Third Master Ding didn’t expect Wang Yunxiao to be so stubborn. Damn, you’re not running away, but you want to argue with them?

Did you study till you became foolish!

"How inconvenient?"

Wang Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and pressed, "You were also present today, if you don’t go, won’t they come looking for you later?"

Third Master Ding hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Young Hero doesn’t know, but people in our profession have taboos against entering the Yamen. Even if it’s unavoidable, we choose a time when it’s empty to go. Otherwise, it’s neither good for us nor the Governmental Office."

This sounded reasonable. Fengshui masters, among other things, are known for their many customs and taboos.

Places that others find tolerable, he would find this or that not to his liking.

But facing such a situation, can you really just say you won’t go, and not go?

Well... it’s hard to say; after all, even the Special Service Bureau couldn’t do much to him last time.

Wang Yunxiao simply nodded noncommittally.

"In that case, Third Master, let’s part ways for today. As for the matter we discussed earlier..."

Third Master Ding gritted his teeth and said, "Your stab was decisive, but you’ve offended that friend to death. If it holds a grudge, this deal might not be so easy to handle..."

Wang Yunxiao smiled and said, "I reckon even if it was alive, it’s not the material for making deals. Might as well let it die a more thorough death, don’t you think?"

Third Master Ding did not speak.

But acquiescence was also an attitude.
