Duan Chen seemed very happy to see me welcoming him.
"Okay! Then Xiao Wu, just wait. I will buy a plane ticket and fly to Shanghai to find you tomorrow."
I smiled and nodded.
"Okay, let's wait until you come. Contact me when you arrive. I'll introduce you to a new friend."
The "new friend" I'm talking about is, of course, Bai Renxin.
After a few more casual chats, Duan Chen and I ended the call.
"Let's go, Lao Bai! Let's go to Ganghui Plaza."
"Okay, little brother Wu."
The two of us came out of the specimen room, notified Madoka again, and headed towards Ganghui Plaza in the night.
…
Not long after, we were standing in the lobby of Ganghui Plaza again.
Bai Renxin frowned immediately.
"The feeling here... is very strange."
"What's this weird method, Lao Bai?" I asked.
"There is no Yin Qi! It is too clean. In this shopping mall, if someone jumps off the building and commits suicide from time to time, then even if the soul disappears directly like you said, Brother Wu, the Yin Qi here will be made even heavier."
"Or to take a step back, even if there is no jumping off the building caused by the [Jie Ming Tang] Feng Shui Bureau, it is normal for a large building that is too empty to gather Yin energy at night."
"But now, I can't sense any Yin Qi at all!"
Bai Renxin's expression was serious and confused.
And I slapped my forehead slightly.
"That's it! I was looking for clues last night, but I didn't find even this most basic weirdness. From this perspective, there should be something in this mall that is absorbing souls and yin energy."
However, Madoka and I searched for a long time last night and found nothing unusual, so we can only rely on Bai Renxin!
He knew it too.
So I didn’t hide it, and directly used the method...
Whoosh whoosh!
Groups of green light emerged from his body, and then condensed into dozens of tiny green long needles.
"Disperse!"
Bai Renxin gave a soft drink and waved his hand.
Dozens of small green needles flew out in all directions, like some kind of weird green flying insects, all over the mall.
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Lao Bai's cultivation talent is indeed very high!"
This long green needle condensed with "ghost energy" is used to detect various supernatural objects.
It turns out that during the decades when Bai Renxin lived alone, he figured out some ways to use ghost magic by combining "science" and "metaphysics" research methods - after all, he even tinkered with [ghost weapons] by himself. Coming out, some strange spells are normal.
For example, this flying needle technique is based on the "acupuncture" technique in traditional Chinese medicine, and he thought of changing his ghost energy into long needles, which can be used to sense the surrounding environment.
And not long ago, after he obtained part of the "ghost cultivation method" I gave him, he immediately applied it to some of the magic methods he had worked out alone before, becoming more practical and tyrannical.
Faced with my compliment, Bai Renxin just smiled and said.
"Brother Wu is ridiculous. My talent is not as good as that of the girl you brought back a few days ago. She doesn't even have the concept of [cultivation], and her soul body is naturally as strong as I have been practicing for decades." Degree."
What Bai Renxin was talking about was Zhao Xin, the daughter of the criminal police captain Zhao Weimin, who had returned from the underworld!
But in fact, although Zhao Xin is born with a tough soul, she seems to be relatively average in other ghost spells. Perhaps because she was just an ordinary high school girl when she was alive, she didn't really like these fighting and killing things.
But it doesn’t matter, her starting point is already frighteningly high!
Even if she is not interested in offensive spells in the future, if she learns defensive spells well and has a naturally tough soul... she may be able to stand still and let the other party attack her when fighting with ghosts, bad demons, and evil cultivators of the same level. They can't even break her defense.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Back to business.
But Bai Renxin released a large number of green flying needles, circling back and forth in the mall.
After flying for several minutes, his ghost energy was greatly consumed.
I waved my hand.
"Forget it, Lao Bai, if it doesn't work, just take back your flying needle. When Duan Chen comes tomorrow, take him to check again. If it doesn't work, just give up."
Anyway, since Huadong Xiuxing has set this place as [Top Secret Information], even the supervisor level cannot check it, it means that they know the situation here...at least it will not cause huge harm to society, right?
The reason why I want to detect it clearly is mainly because I want to satisfy my curiosity, but at the same time, I am also slightly worried - it is not that I don't trust Huadong Xiuxing, but that any organization that is big may have problems in some aspects. A vulnerability occurs.
"good."
Bai Renxin nodded and planned to take back the green ghostly flying needle that was traveling around the mall.
Sudden!
His expression changed.
"Brother Wu, there's something going on! There's a flying needle, and it seems to have sensed something unusual."
oh? !
I also looked happy.
"In which direction? Go and have a look!"
Bai Renxin pointed to the wide, dark corridor in the distance.
"It's at the corner in front, it seems to be in the safe passage on the second floor."
We walked over there and saw a green flying needle hovering about three inches above the ground, near the base of a wall, constantly making a trembling and buzzing sound.
"There's something going on inside this wall."
Madoka immediately volunteered.
"Get out of the way! It depends on your ability."
As he spoke, it hovered in front of the wall. Opening its wings, the feathers popped out with a clang like a metal sword, and then quickly turned its chubby body a few times.
The two wings rotated like two sharp steel knives, cutting a big hole in the wall like a knife cutting tofu.
This is not the demonic wind blade used, but the hardness and sharpness of its feathers themselves!
"Wu boy, look, has my dick exploded?"
I nodded.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Madoka: "...Fuck!"
Bai Renxin couldn't help laughing. He seemed to like watching Xiao Yuan and I bicker.
I looked at the darkness inside the wall and the stale smell that hit my face.
"The inside of this wall is actually empty. There is a mezzanine. Sure enough, there is something going on! Let's go in and take a look."
As I said that, I casually pinched two talisman papers and punched them out, turning them into two orange fireballs the size of basketballs, lighting up the mezzanine inside the wall...
I was surprised to find that it turned out to be a spiral staircase leading underground!
Very well hidden.
Bai Renxin stared at the stairs with a solemn expression.
"Brother Wu, we have to be careful. Although I don't know what's inside, it gives me a very uneasy feeling. I can't explain it, it's just my intuition."
I nodded.
"Okay! Be careful later. But the whole thing makes people feel quite uneasy. There are such big secrets and possible dangers hidden under the large shopping mall where people come and go."
Madoka flew in first, I walked in the middle, and Bai Renxin was at the end.
The two groups of talisman fire revolve around each other, both lighting and opening the way in front.
We followed the spiral staircase and walked underground...
Along the stairs, you can see many talismans firmly attached at a distance - all of them are sealing talismans that I am very familiar with.
This means that there may be some "big guy" sealed beneath the Ganghui Plaza!
After walking down about five or six floors, we reached the end of the stairs and stepped on hard ground.
I looked around.
Discovered that this is a huge underground space!
"I didn't expect that there would be such a place underground in the most prosperous business district in Shanghai."
I was a little surprised.
Because this place is obviously a man-made space. I even saw the reinforced concrete poured above my head for reinforcement.
It is very likely that when the construction of Ganghui Plaza was started, this place had already been planned!
In this case, it shouldn't be a big problem - because Xiuxing Company has indeed planned it very seriously.
I was a little reassured about the safety of this place, but I was just curious.
"Brother Wu, look over there."
Bai Renxin's voice was a little solemn, and she pointed forward.
I looked in the direction he pointed and actually saw...
