Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 795 The Coward in the Closet

Wu Xian mechanically reached his left hand into the cabinet, ready to search as usual.

puff!
Suddenly, Wu Xian felt a sharp pain.

He hurriedly pulled his hand out. His little finger was already covered in blood and the wound was almost to the bone.

If it weren't for his naturally thick skin and the Fire Cloud Cloth, this knife would have almost cut off one of Wu Xian's fingers!
Despite the severe pain, Wu Xian perked up.

Judging from the touch just now, the thing that cut his finger was definitely not a pre-arranged prank, but there was really something wielding a knife!

The evil is in this closet!

So Wu Xian stretched out his right hand towards the cabinet without hesitation.

Spell: Palm Thunder!

Wow!

Wu Xian's palm suddenly emitted brilliant blue-purple lightning!

The inside of the cabinet was instantly charred black by the electric shock, but with the help of the flash of lightning, Wu Xian saw that there was nothing in the cabinet!
"Nothing? Impossible!"

"Could it be that the evil spirit has the ability to move between different cabinets?"

"Why bother looking for that? It's better to find a way to break out of the door faster."

Wu Xian was anxious for a moment before calming down.

If the evil spirit really had such ability, it would not have waited for Wu Xian for so long before attacking him. There must be some details that he did not notice.

So Wu Xian reached the Tiansha Axe into the cabinet, carefully tested it, and soon discovered the trick.

This eight-door cabinet is more than 60 centimeters deep, but the partition is only 30 centimeters wide, and the back 30 centimeters are covered by a dark area.

The thirty centimeters at the back are empty, so the evil spirit can move freely in the cabinet and appear in any space at will.

Wu Xian’s first reaction was to dismantle the cabinet.

But although this cabinet was not made of metal, it was incredibly strong, as if it was protected by some force, and chopping it with the Killing Axe only caused superficial injuries.

So Wu Xian changed his approach.

He took out eight playing cards and placed one in each space of the cabinet. Then pale ghost hands emerged from the eight playing cards.

White Ghost Poker has the ability of Hand of the Wraith, and the way the ability is triggered is the same as [Stars Surrounding the Moon], so Wu Xian can release the Hand of the Wraith as many times as he has the Crescent Moon Marks.

These pale ghost hands were in the cabinet, groping around randomly in the same way as Wu Xian. Wu Xian stood in front of the cabinet. No matter which ghost hand was hurt, he would hit it with a palm thunder.

But these ghost hands neither touched the key nor the evil spirit, and Wu Xian did not gain anything until his power disappeared.

Wu Xian was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

This evil spirit is not very powerful, has a low desire to attack, and its ability mechanism is not comparable to the 'Peeping Tom Evil' encountered before.

But it was this simple ability mechanism that almost broke Wu Xian's defense.

This thing didn't react to the hands of evil spirits, nor did it react when an axe was inserted into it. It would only attack if a living hand was inserted into it. The key was probably on the evil spirit as well.

In other words, if Wu Xian wanted to get rid of this evil spirit, he could only exchange injury for injury. He would put his hand in and let the evil spirit cut him again, and at the same time release the palm thunder while being cut.

Apart from this, there is nothing else...

"Wait!"

"The evil spirit will only attack living creatures that reach in, but it doesn't say that this living creature must be me. I have the 'Partner's Blessing', so I can summon a dream lover and let the dream lover reach out for me, right?"

"Hiss...wait a moment!"

"Who says living things have to be human?"

Wu Xian turned his head and looked at the strange thing he had taken out of the cabinet at first, the huge fat toad...

The toad tilted its head.

呱？
……

Crack!

A flash of blue-purple lightning flashed by.

A tiny, deformed evil spirit, with smoke coming out of its body, screaming, crawled out of the cupboard.

Wu Xian, who was waiting outside, beheaded him with an axe without mercy.

The evil spirit that had irritated Wu Xian was killed instantly, and black and red flames began to burn on its body. There was another burnt object on Wu Xian's axe.

It's that toad!

Wu Xian tied the poor toad to the axe and reached into the cabinets one by one to test it. When he reached the third cabinet, the evil spirit in the cabinet took action.

At the moment when the toad was pierced, Wu Xian once again launched the "Palm Thunder Curse". The lightning was guided along the Sky Killing Axe and dealt with the evil spirit in one blow.

When Wu Xian figured out the ability mechanism of this evil spirit, his life was already counting down. After all, this evil spirit was too weak and could only survive by relying on its ability mechanism.

The smoke from the flames transformed into pictures, presenting this short, deformed, evil nightmare to Wu Xian.

……

This evil spirit is called Shan Yong.

When he was young, his family opened a furniture store with many cabinets.

Shan Yong’s biggest hobby is to hide in the closet after the furniture store closes and wait for his parents who are anxious to get off work to come find him.

He is short and it is difficult for his parents to find him as long as he hides in the closet.

This kind of game always ends with the parents admitting defeat or agreeing to one of his conditions.

one day.

His parents played with him as usual.

But this time, his mother found him at an unreasonable speed.

Her face looked very ugly, but she still managed a smile.

"Let's continue. I've found you, but Dad hasn't. You should hide here. No matter what happens outside, don't come out."

After saying that, she stuffed a knife into Shan Yong's pocket and placed a cabinet partition in front of him.

Then the mother closed the cabinet door and left.

Not long after, Shan Yong heard his mother's screams and the sound of a knife cutting into flesh and blood from outside.

Shan Yong is very smart.

He knew that this was not a game of hide-and-seek, but a murderer had broken into the store.

Shan Yong wanted to save his mother, but he was so scared that he dared not make any sound. He just held the knife tightly and prayed that those people would not find him.

Sound becomes clearer when it travels from solid objects, so Shan Yong put his ear against the cabinet door, and the footsteps of those people seemed to be amplified several times!
From the conversations of these people, Shan Yong learned that his father had committed a crime with the three of them, but his father ran away with the money, got married, started a family, and opened this furniture store.

Today the three of them found this place to get the money back and kill the three members of the Shan family.

The murderers opened the cabinets one by one, and Shan Yong was extremely nervous.

His heart beat faster with every step closer the footsteps came.

Finally, Shan Yong's cabinet was also opened.

But because of the baffle, the murderer couldn't see clearly what was going on inside from the outside. He just felt around in the cabinet a few times just to be on the safe side.

Shan Yong felt the position of the murderer's palm through the thin baffle. He slowly raised the knife and wanted to stab it into the partition to avenge his mother.

But in the end he didn't dare to do it.

The murderer left, and because there were no clues, the case became a cold case.

Shan Yong also became an orphan.

In the days that followed, he thought about it more than once.

If he had stabbed that day, the murderer would have left traces at the scene, they would have been caught and sentenced, and he would have avenged his parents personally.

But he missed this opportunity forever.

From then on, Shan Yong would dream about the scene of that day every night.

He huddled in the closet, shivering, waiting for the murderer of his parents to come.

The murderer opened the door again and again, but Shan Yong didn't dare to stab with the knife every time.

His cowardice that day saved his life, but left him with an unforgettable nightmare...
