Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 192 Jiang Shaoxu: There is something dirty

"Hmm? You said there is a ghost in Yanming Temple?"

After listening to the information Li Yu obtained from the local police in Xixiong City, everyone present showed a puzzled expression.

"Ghost? It should be a legend of the locals, right? I heard that many tourist cities will make up a lot of legends for their own attractions to attract tourists and increase popularity."

Jiang Shaoxu, who was planning to go out tonight, naturally interrupted the conversation when he heard Li Yu say there was a ghost.

The others didn't say anything, but they all looked unconvinced. Well, let's not talk about how credible this statement is. Even if it is true, ghosts are just a kind of undead spirits. If they meet a group of people like them, it's not certain who will be afraid of whom.

Regarding Jiang Shaoxu and the others' indifference, Li Yu explained:
"The legend of ghosts must be true."

"I heard from the Xixiong City police that Yanming Temple used to be a well-known local attraction. The marriage fortune-telling here is particularly effective, so many couples come here."

"But when we checked in, there were very few people at the temple entrance. Is this the kind of scene you would expect at a famous tourist attraction?"

“Moreover, there have been more than one case of pilgrims being possessed by spirits, and they all had the same symptoms. Their vital signs were still there, but they just couldn’t wake up, like a vegetative state.

Even the local Hunter Alliance sent people to investigate, but found nothing. "

"No ghosts, is that possible?"

"When we checked in, the monks didn't reveal any information at all."

"We are indeed quite strong, but in the face of such bizarre demonic incidents, we should always remain vigilant. I think that since we are about to challenge the Japanese Pavilion, as the first stop of our overseas training, none of you would want to encounter any accidents, right?"

At this point, the others also showed cautious looks. For them, the performance of the various nations was particularly important. If they fell behind for such a stomach-breaking reason, not to mention themselves, even the forces behind them would never forgive them.

Finally, Ai Jiangtu, who had gradually become a parent, announced his decision again.
"In that case, it's better to be cautious and try not to go out tonight."

“Even if you go out, you must go in groups of at least two. If you encounter anything strange, ignore it and report it to me and Nanjue when you come back.”

"Stay until tonight and leave for Osaka early tomorrow morning."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ai Jiangtu felt a sense of melancholy in his heart. He felt so tired!
It was understandable that Asuka City was deliberately abandoned by the instructor, but Xixiong City was a stopover they chose themselves, and haunted things still occurred. They were exhausted both physically and mentally after a few days.

This experience in various countries was indeed necessary. When he was in the army, there were not so many strange and weird things to worry about. In just a few days, Ai Jiangtu clearly felt that he had grown.

Everything was fine until the evening. Suddenly, Jiang Shaoxu, with a panicked look on his face, dragged Nan Jue into the room where Li Yu and Ai Jiangtu lived together.

"No...it's not good!"

Jiang Shaoxu bent down and shouted to the captain Ai Jiangtu breathlessly:
"Dirty things! There are dirty things!"

"Dirty things? What dirty things?"

Ai Jiangtu frowned, feeling uneasy.

“Mo Fan… Mo Fan, that guy saw a ghost!”

Afterwards, with Jiang Shaoxu's explanation, Ai Jiangtu and Li Yu, who was listening, learned the whole story.

After nightfall, Jiang Shaoxu took Nanjue out to purchase some goods. During the trip, they ran into Mo Fan, who was doing nothing at the temple gate. Thinking of Ai Jiangtu's order, he took the opportunity to recruit this capable man into the team.

As a result, before they walked far, they saw Mo Fan talking to the air with a shocked expression. Jiang Shaoxu and Nanjue initially thought that Mo Fan was a playful bastard and was trying to intimidate them.

But I didn’t expect that Mo Fan didn’t know what Ai Jiangtu said this afternoon, and no one reminded him!

"Mo Fan doesn't know what happened this afternoon? Didn't Zhao Manyan tell him?"

Ai Jiangtu's brows were furrowed, and his complexion, illuminated by the sunlight in the wild for many years, became more and more in line with his nickname "Black Devil".

But this was not the point. What was bothering Ai Jiangtu was that not all the people were present when Li Yu was talking about the matter this afternoon. However, he had also asked people to notify the people in their respective circles. Zhao Manyan was also in the room at the time. Given his relationship with Mo Fan, it was impossible for the latter not to know about it.

At this time, Nan Jue explained:

"This afternoon, Mo Fan was wandering around the temple. Zhao Manyan was busy practicing and didn't go out either. I sent him an email."

“That’s no problem.” Nanjue covered her head and said helplessly:
"But Mo Fan's phone ran out of battery and stopped working. I just saw Zhao Manyan's email when I was recharging it."

Li Yu, Ai Jiangtu: "..."

Don't mention it, this is something that a careless person like Mo Fan would do.

"So, Mo Fan has been possessed?"

Ai Jiangtu asked seriously. Jiang Shaoxu, Nanjue and Mo Fan met together. Now the first two were in front of them, so Mo Fan should be the one who had problems.

"No, it's Zhao Manyan."

Jiang Shaoxu and Nanjue said in a way that was hard to describe.

"Zhao Manyan?"

……

"The captain said that you should try not to go out today. Can you please not act on your own if you have nothing to do?"

Guan Yu never missed any opportunity to attack Mo Fan, especially when the opponent made a mistake.

"..."

After hearing the whole story, Ai Jiangtu and Li Yu, led by Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue, rushed to Zhao Manyan's room. The remaining people who had gathered were surrounding Mo Fan and denouncing him. Zhao Manyan, the unlucky guy who had met the wrong person, was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Nan Rongni was examining him.

"Just like what Li Yu said this afternoon, the person is still alive, but he just can't wake up. He is in a deep sleep. If he is forcibly awakened, it will easily cause mental trauma."

Nan Rongni and Ai Jiangtu explained the inspection results.

Ai Jiangtu frowned and asked:

"Can it be treated?"

Nan Rongni shook his head.
"Zhao Manyan's condition is not that of an injury, so healing magic won't work. Since it's a ghost that's taking his soul away, we should prescribe the right medicine for the condition."

"The monks in Yanming Temple should have corresponding clues."

ten minutes later.

The members of the National Government team watched the old monk run away screaming, with sharp gleams in their eyes.

"It seems that these old monks do know something!"

Li Yu stroked his chin and spoke in a bad tone.

"Or we can just turn this Yanming Temple upside down. It's such a small place, it won't take much effort."

"But it's very strange."

Li Yu said with some doubt:

"If it's a ghost, why is Mo Fan the only one who can see it?"

“If we only talk about perception ability, Nan Jue who practices the sound system and Jiang Shaoxu who practices the mind system should have a better chance, right?”

Everyone asked Mo Fan about this, and the latter was also confused.

Although Zhao Manyan's life was not in danger for the time being, it was clear that he could not delay any longer. Ai Jiangtu immediately asked everyone to disperse and search for any abnormalities or clues about Yan Mingsi.

Among them, Mo Fan, the only one who can see ghosts, is responsible for finding the girl Miyata who is suspected to be the culprit.

after an hour.

Mo Fan, Ai Jiangtu and Li Yu gathered in a small shabby house on the back hill of Yanming Temple, looking at the wooden fish in the center.
