Before the sun had set, Lu Ping took the address Lu Ning gave him and rushed to the store where the Nine-faced Baby happened. Before leaving, he told Qi Mei to be careful about this place and make sure nothing went wrong. Although Qi Mei promised, with his ability, there was not much he could do even if something went wrong.
The person who felt the most relaxed at the scene was Lu Ning. She turned on the computer she brought and connected the receivers corresponding to the cameras - she was able to carry out such modifications by herself, but it was a pity that the stick-on cameras had average pixels and could not conduct transmission. Sound, and soon a split screen appeared on the computer.
"Oh! Is this... the means of modern science and technology?" Qi Mei came over with interest, "I can't see clearly."
"Whenever something happens, just magnify it."
To hurt people, a ghost must allow itself to affect the real world, or pull people into its own world. If the first method is adopted, the camera will faithfully record the occurrence of various abnormalities, which is actually an effective method in many cases.
There is no need to visit the scene in person. The only thing you need to worry about is that some ghosts can come to your door according to certain laws of cause and effect.
The abandoned shop was still peaceful until a shadow moved at the door, and then Lu Ping could be seen walking in. After entering the door, he first lit a piece of talisman paper and threw it on the ground. The yellow fire illuminated some of the surroundings and made the camera's view better. Then Lu Ping started to explore the house with a pace that was obviously different from normal walking.
"This is Gangbu! It's true that my senior brother is so cautious when dealing with such a brat!" Qi Mei immediately started bragging again.
"I said, you don't know how to do this yourself, right?" Teng Xuan had already recognized Qi Mei's true nature, and now she heard him start again, so she teased.
"I'm not good at learning and I'm ashamed of my master." Qi Mei admitted very bachelorly.
While the two people were talking, Lu Ping had already passed the front part of the shop. Lu Ning could see that he was holding a secret in his left hand. His movements were not very fast, but he was indeed very cautious. At this moment, something moved slightly in the lower right corner of the screen, and she immediately zoomed in on the screen.
Coming from behind Lu Ping, the old-fashioned cash register on the counter popped open at some point. Of course there was no property in it. Then two small handprints appeared on the dusty table.
This camera was placed in the cabinet facing the counter by a child, so the angle was very good. Lu Ning could clearly see the handprints spreading one after another towards Lu Ping's direction, but there were no footprints behind, but instead It left a line like a snake crawling.
Qi Mei turned his gaze back to the screen at this moment, and when he saw those footprints, he immediately screamed: "There's a ghost!"
Lu Ning glanced at him, as if she didn't know there was a ghost here before. Qi Mei immediately realized that she was overreacting, and immediately said, "Don't panic, senior brother, this kind of brat can definitely be caught."
At least Lu Ping wasn't someone like Qi Mei who liked to brag.
The moment the handprint reached the edge of the counter, the flame of the burning talisman paper that had been thrown to the ground suddenly shrank and turned into a faint blue color in an instant. Lu Ping, who noticed the change in the surrounding light, turned around instantly and punched out the hand gestures that he had already made. Of course, Lu Ning couldn't see anything in the camera, only the firelight flickered twice.
"Have you won this...did you win?" Teng Xuan asked, stroking her eyebrows.
"How do I know? I wasn't there... the talisman is still blue fire, so it shouldn't be finished yet."
Lu Ping on the screen looked around with great vigilance, took another step, made several complicated changes with his fingers, and then pulled out a small stick about the same length as his forearm from his sleeve.
"What is this?" Teng Xuan asked.
"Senior brother's wooden sword." Qi Mei chuckled, "This is a real magic weapon, you should take a closer look."
But there's really not much to see. Lu Ping didn't make any special movements while holding the wooden stick. He still stepped back step by step inward. He threw a burning paper talisman to guard against attacks by ghosts at any time.
Lu Ning also followed the instructions and enlarged the picture further inside.
The living area on the inside can be said to be messy, connected to a small yard of less than ten square meters in front, and then inward is a narrow corridor, with kitchens, toilets, etc. on both sides, and bedrooms at the end. At that time, Lao Zhang lived here alone, and all kinds of debris were piled up from the small yard to the corridor. It was convenient for the children to hide the cameras, but it was very troublesome to move around.
Lu Ping's skills were pretty good. The debris in the yard didn't cause him much difficulty, and he quickly reached the corridor. At this moment, he suddenly raised his head, pointed the wooden stick upward, and a snowflake flashed on the screen, and it returned to normal after about two or three seconds. Lu Ning quickly took a few screenshots during this period, capturing the changes before and after.
After the snowflakes, Lu Ping had already walked into the aisle. Lu Ning adjusted the camera tracking while opening the pictures to watch.
Before the search for differences even started, a new situation appeared on the screen. Lu Ping stopped again, and this time he made a gesture of listening. Because the light was too dark, Lu Ping's expression could not be seen clearly, and Lu Ning could do nothing no matter how high the contrast was. Then in less than five seconds, the screen suddenly flashed four times, and each time the flashing snowflakes looked more and more like a vaguely human face.
Qi Meiyan quickly took out his own mirror, looked into the screen, and then let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, they're not targeting us."
At this moment, the screen that returned to normal suddenly exploded with fire. It came from Lu Ping's hand, a different red flame from before. He picked a talisman on the tip of the wooden sword and flexibly moved around. He stabbed quickly, and every time he retracted it, some green sparks exploded from the tip of the sword. Lu Ning couldn't hear the sound at the scene, but this section alone was a mime with enough visual effects. Lu Ping's expression was not panicked in the firelight, and it was clear that everything was still within the range of handling. Before the flames gradually burned out, Lu Ping grabbed a handful of white rice-like things from his pocket and threw them out. Several streaks of green smoke were left in the air where the splashes had been made, and the ground began to soften visibly to the naked eye. .
"Coming!" Qi Mei suddenly shouted.
"What's coming?" Teng Xuan was startled.
"Nine-faced baby! It's soul form's offensive methods have been suppressed by senior brother, and now it's starting to get anxious! When a ghost goes crazy, it's the most dangerous but also the easiest time to deal with it! As long as it can be suppressed -"
The screen suddenly tilted. It seemed that the place where the camera was placed was shaken. The two cameras could no longer capture the scene in the house. Lu Ning hurriedly searched through the remaining images, and finally found one that he could barely capture - it was under the bed in the bedroom. He could only see a corner of the door, and could barely capture Lu Ping's figure. .
There was residual firelight in the dark corridor, and some small hands in shadow began to poke out from the softened ground, like babies. But those white rice grains were still functioning, and green smoke began to emit as soon as the hand came in contact with them, and soon they twitched and turned into pieces.
Everything seemed to be changing towards success, but at this moment, a grimace suddenly appeared in front of the camera that Lu Ning zoomed in on.
It was a baby face that was not yet fully developed, with both eyes barely able to open. It stared at the camera, stretched out its hands that were still curled up like paws, tapped the camera twice, then grinned and exposed It has sharp teeth like sharks in its mouth.
"Turn it off, turn it off! It found us! Quick--"
Amidst the shouts, Lu Ning saw cracks beginning to appear on the face of the baby on the screen. A ray of white light slowly expanded between the eyebrows, like a pure flame burning and spreading from the body. The baby-like devil slowly The slowness began to dissipate.
"Huh...fortunately, senior brother is smart." Qi Mei wiped the cold sweat from his head and grinned.
"Master Qimei, please give your senior brother a call." Lu Ning stared at the ghost slowly disappearing on the screen and said to Qimei. Qi Mei responded, took out her cell phone and called Lu Ping.
"Senior brother? Yes, it's me... We've already watched you deal with that ghost. As expected of you, senior brother... eh? Do you still need to investigate?"
"I want to say a few words to the Taoist Priest." Lu Ning said again.
"Uh, okay. Senior brother, Miss Li Wenyue wants to talk to you, so I gave her the phone."
Qi Mei handed the phone to Lu Ning. Lu Ning picked it up and said, "Taoist Master Lu Ping, has the Nine-faced Baby been solved?"
"The most obvious part of the condensed body of yin energy has been burned out. Theoretically, the evil spirit should be cut off. But this ghost does not come from one, but from the gathering of resentment. I still need to confirm whether there are one or two rays of resentment. Take it off." Lu Ping responded.
"Please go into the bedroom, Taoist Priest. There should be something left at the southwest foot of the bed." Lu Ning said.
"oh?"
Lu Ping walked in on the screen and quickly reached the camera. He squatted down and picked up an object from there, dusted it off, and then said to the phone: "Miss Li, there is indeed something here."
When he picked it up, Lu Ning saw something like a string of iron chains at a glance, and immediately said: "Please bring it back, Taoist Master Lu. This thing may be of important use to us."
"good."

As night fell, Lu Ning bought a few box lunches from the restaurant downstairs and came back to solve the dinner problem, while Lu Ping also took care of the situation in the shop and returned to the guest house.
The thing he brought back was what Lu Ning saw falling out of the kid's body when it disappeared. Only when he got it back did he realize that it was a longevity lock. Different from the ordinary longevity lock, eight baby faces with different expressions are painted on the lock, and the lock is made of chains as white as jade but extremely hard. No matter you touch the lock body or the chain, you will feel a biting coldness. Lu Ping also put it in his bag before bringing it back.
There wasn't much Yin Qi on this thing, at least Lu Ping didn't see much Yin Qi emanating from the surroundings. At the same time, he was also trying to figure out what it was. Lu Ning was a little simpler. She opened her APP task list and took the longevity lock in her hand. The task of collecting props was immediately displayed as 13. In other words, this was one of the props that fit the description.
"So after the Nine-faced Baby was shattered, this thing fell out of the body... there were only eight faces on it?" Teng Xuan looked at this thing with curiosity, "But after all, it is a ghost thing, and it may be dangerous?"
"Generally speaking, anything that falls on the bodies of ghosts and monsters is contaminated with ghost energy, including some things excavated from tombs. They also need to go through certain procedures to remove evil spirits before they can be touched by humans. However, there is no Yin energy on this object. It's really rare... I really have little talent and little knowledge." Lu Ping said with a frown.
Lu Ning picked up both ends of the chain with her hands. A cold feeling spread into her hands, but she did not feel any discomfort. The APP can only tell whether this thing is needed for the task, but regardless of the identification type of work, she has no idea how to use this thing.
But just when she was about to put down the chain, she heard a "click" in her hand. She quickly shook off the chain, turned over her hands, and saw that except for the thumbs of both hands, the other eight fingers were vaguely covered with a white ring. The shape and color were exactly the same as the chains of the longevity lock.
"how……"
"Let me take a look!" Lu Ping grabbed Lu Ning's wrist, pinched her fingers on a white ring, and then asked Lu Ning: "Do you feel any discomfort?"
"No, it just feels... very cool?" Lu Ning felt it carefully.
"Well, the patterns on it are all gone!" Qi Mei grabbed the longevity lock and shouted, "It's not so cold anymore! Senior brother, be careful that this is a possession!"
"No, there is nothing abnormal about Miss Li's soul." Lu Ping was relatively stable, "There is no response, even if I press it with the talisman, there will be no response. This is not a spiritual thing of its own."
"How could it be automatically locked on Wen Yue if it wasn't there?" Teng Xuan said loudly.
"Although the object may not have spirit, it can recognize its owner." Lu Ping let go of Lu Ning's wrist, "It's just that since this object has no intelligence, why did it turn a blind eye to the poor man who subdued the nine-faced baby, and instead locked it in On Miss Li? It’s really puzzling... Oh, please don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of fighting for it, I’m just confused.”
"I know." Lu Ning clenched her fist. It was as if the white ring did not exist. It did not affect the movement of her fingers at all, but there was only a vague outline. She knew in her heart that this was probably a matter of chance, but she also wondered why she could get such an opportunity? Just based on your status as a tourist? This is a bit too easy.
"I don't know what the use of this thing is. Miss Li must not ignore the upcoming danger because of this." Lu Ping said.
Lu Ning nodded and stood up: "Then it's a bit late today. Tomorrow, Taoist Master Lu can contact his friends as mentioned before. The two of us are in the opposite room. If anything happens, we will come for help."
"Okay, the girl's body is full of yin energy. I will make a talisman tonight to drive away evil spirits."
