Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 214 Resentment Enters the Body
"...In the past, I really thought that a magician was a magician."

"But, Hu Ming, ever since I met you, I've felt that all the really great magicians are actually sorcerers in disguise, aren't they?"

Silently watching the snakes retreat, Yang Xueli, who never smoked and stood next to Hu Bayi, suddenly had an urge to smoke.

Damn it, who said science can explain everything in this world?
Come on, come on, a scientist, can you explain this scene to me scientifically?
The previous Ghost Eye Curse and sacrificial rituals could be explained by science fiction concepts such as a special virus and imaginary space.

So, how should this scene be explained?
For the first time, Yang Xueli had a feeling that such a magical thing could happen right before her eyes.

So maybe God really exists?
"Hey, Brother Hu Ming, those strange black snakes just now seemed to be looking for me..."

When Jingjian Ahan arrived, Axiang had already slowly woken up and suddenly said weakly.

Although there was no evidence, her instincts told her that the Pure Vision Agama had come to find her.

Moreover, they harbor 120% ill will.

"Of course. Ghost Eye is an incomplete version of Boundless Demon Eye, and you, in the Demon Kingdom, are an incomplete version of Ghost Mother that must be destroyed."

"So, now you know why the Pure Vision Agama came to find you, right?"

Hu Ming said softly.

The Demon Kingdom is just that cruel.

It's fortunate that Ah Xiang was born in the right era; if she had been born in the Demon Kingdom back then, things would have been a hundred times worse than they are now.

……

……

Ah Xiang remained silent.

Previously, she genuinely believed that her eyes were created by her biological parents using scientific methods.

After being adopted by Lei Xianming, Ah Xiang felt more like a tool that Lei Xianming could use than a goddaughter.

Therefore, Ah Xiang always harbored resentment towards both her biological parents and Lei Xianming.

But now that Hu Ming has revealed everything about her eyes...

Ah Xiang suddenly felt that Lei Xianming seemed to treat her quite well?
After all, you can tell just by looking at the stone wall next to this open space.

The mottled black bloodstains, the hideous shackles, and the incomplete white bones scattered on the floor already indicated the tragic end of the mutilated demon mother.

Feeling a sense of shared misery, Ah Xiang slowly walked towards the wall.

Those who died there were all seniors like Ah Xiang. Compared to them, Ah Xiang felt that she was incredibly fortunate to live in the new century.

"Wait, Ah Xiang, step back!"

Just then, Hu Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly pulled Ah Xiang away.

But... it was too late!
As Ah Xiang approached, faint black mist suddenly began to emanate from the wall, the black mottled bloodstains on the ground, and the scattered, withered bones in Hu Ming and the others' field of vision.

Like a magnet, the wispy black mist, like rivers flowing into the sea and pigeons returning to their nests, quickly gathered in Ah Xiang's body.

"You son of a bitch!"

Upon seeing this, Hu Ming's eye twitched violently.

Just when I thought this trip was about to end, I never expected that something like this would happen.

He should have realized this sooner. This place was meant to mend the resentment of the broken ghost mother. Now that Ah Xiang, who was just like them, had come here, it would be a miracle if those resentments didn't react.

Despite the suppression of the feng shui dragon vein, these resentments couldn't cause much trouble. However, with Ah Xiang as an excellent vessel, things might change.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Ah Xiang's figure froze, suddenly becoming stiff.

Turning around, I saw that Ah Xiang's eyes were already shrouded in a thick black mist.

The pupils, irises, and whites of the eyes all turned an ominous black, even deeper than the darkness of night.

Just a glance was enough to make one feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their heart.

Those eyes were fixed intently on Hu Ming!

"Damn it!!! How could I possibly be possessed by an evil spirit?!"

Hu Ming took a deep breath, feeling as if he was having a run of bad luck lately.

Why don't you find some time to go to a Taoist temple or Buddhist temple to burn incense and pray to the gods?
Hu Ming thought uncertainly.

However, there was no time left for Hu Ming to expand his thinking.

Because Ah Xiang had already pounced on her.

They pounced on us in every sense of the word.

"...Intruder...die!!!"

A strange sound, as if countless voices were overlapping, roared out from Ah Xiang's mouth.

"Damn it, when I get back I'm going to find a Taoist temple to worship the Three Pure Ones and get rid of this bad luck!"

"Old Hu, get me a rope! And bring out those exorcism talismans I drew!"

Hu Ming gave Hu Bayi orders, feeling utterly exasperated.

If they were enemies, Hu Ming would have a thousand ways to kill Ah Xiang.

But here's the problem... Hu Ming can't bring himself to harm innocent people yet.

Fortunately, although Ah Xiang was "possessed" by evil spirits, her physical condition remained unchanged. Despite being weak and powerless, she still possessed considerable fighting ability despite being corrupted by resentment.
Aside from being a bit weird, he's actually a complete weakling.

Snapped!
Hu Ming reacted quickly, having already anticipated Ah Xiang's attack trajectory. With a single swift movement, he cleanly and decisively gripped both of Ah Xiang's wrists tightly.

At the same time, he leaped up and flipped over Ah Xiang's head in mid-air, pulling her hands behind her back.

He supported Ah Xiang's back with one hand, while bending one knee and pressing it firmly against Ah Xiang's waist.

As long as Ah Xiang remains in a human body, unable to twist her head 180 degrees or her cervical vertebrae abnormally, there will be no problem.
Holy crap!!!

Before Hu Ming could finish setting his goal, he was horrified to discover that Ah Xiang's neck had already been twisted to its limit, and her cervical spine was cracking loudly.

Even the muscles seemed to be making a cracking sound.

This terrified Hu Ming. If things continued like this, even if they managed to dispel the resentment of the broken ghost mother, Ah Xiang would be finished.

boom!
Desperate measures, Hu Ming quickly withdrew one hand and struck Ah Xiang's carotid artery with the knife...

This is the second time Ah Xiang has been treated like this by Hu Ming!

just
This time, unlike last time, it was completely useless.
