I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 107, Section 106: Using a knife to lure out a car with hazard lights (Bonus chapter 2 for Alliance Leader Liang Xiaojun)

Within the evil realm shrouded in deep fog, eerie red, yellow, and green lights flickered in three different directions.

Beyond the three-colored radiance, in the mist, there were two faint yellow lights that kept flashing.

It was an old black Santana, its hazard lights flashing, parked on the side of the ruined street.

Fifty meters ahead, there was a flashing traffic light.

The distance between the two is shrinking in an incomprehensible way.

The traffic lights and the cars with hazard lights were both stationary, yet they were eerily approaching each other.

It was as if it wasn't the two evil creatures that were moving, but rather the ground beneath their feet.

The truth is that the evil realms of the two are converging.

This creates the bizarre situation where the distance appears to be stationary but is actually constantly closing.

Even as this strange situation occurred, the temperature of the surrounding environment began to drop rapidly.

The traffic lights across the street were flashing rapidly, as if they were having an epileptic seizure.

Red and green lights alternated wildly.

Then a line of scarlet numbers appeared, a countdown timer that seemed like a death warrant, and began its relentless countdown.

At the same time, a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the car's windows as the hazard lights flashed.

The frost flowers, like ghostly claws, covered every inch of transparency.

Inside the car, the old-fashioned radio, which had long been out of power, suddenly turned on automatically with a "zzzz" sound.

Surprisingly, it started playing mournful funeral music intermittently, the tune hoarse and distorted, like a funeral procession wailing in your ear.

Even more chilling was the fact that a viscous black liquid was silently seeping from under the four tires, emitting a pungent, strange smell similar to a mixture of rotting corpses and gasoline, slowly spreading across the cold ground.

These ominous signs piled up, almost suffocating everyone in the car.

"Absolutely terrible!!"

"The evil domains of two malevolent entities are approaching, and their malevolent power is rapidly increasing!"

Cai Chen's face was extremely ugly, and Tan Pei, the short-haired woman beside him, trembled and was almost crying.

The gatekeeper, Old Liu, suddenly seemed to regain some of his senses and reminded Long Ling, who had just stepped out of the car, "Long Si, this car's power has increased significantly. You'd better not get in..."

'

"Stop talking nonsense!"

With a "click".

Long Ling, her face cold, ignored the terrifying and horrifying reactions and opened the car door with her fair hand.

"I've already gotten close to this place, between two evil realms, and now it's impossible for me to leave."

"Smack!"

Her boots trod on the putrid black oil on the ground, and the cold, ghostly aura of the grim magpie condensed into the oil and seeped into the carriage.

The carriage was cramped, the air was cold and sticky, and every breath felt like swallowing ice crystals. The aura of death was pressing in from all directions.

She could hardly find a place to sit down with her beautifully curved hips.

But at this moment, she didn't need to sit down. Instead, she was ready to join forces with others to use their supernatural powers to suppress the car with its hazard lights flashing and then try to escape.

"Ryuji, what do we do now?"

Lu Qian, sitting in the passenger seat, suppressed her unease and asked.

Right now, the only people who can move freely in the car are her and Long Ling, who just came in.

"I immediately activated the power of the supernatural entity, and everyone else unleashed their full supernatural power to see if we could suppress the car and rush out together!"

As Long Ling spoke, she raised the whip in her hand, which resembled a bloody intestine.

The whip immediately began to wriggle, and a fishy, ​​stench quickly filled the carriage.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

Countless blood-red, fleshy filaments split off the surface of the whip, shooting out and embedding themselves in every corner of the car.

Like living thorns embedded in it.

A sickeningly loud tearing sound echoed all around.

Those fine, thread-like buds were actually tiny, grotesque mouths, like the mouths of worms.

Instantly, a powerful, supernatural force began to fight against the car with its hazard lights flashing.

All the warning lights on the front of the car instantly lit up, and a piercing alarm blared through the darkened street.

"Let's do it!"

Long Ling gave a low shout.

Immediately, Cai Chen and the others also began to fully mobilize their extraordinary powers.

The five people and a Sequence 7 supernatural object unleashed extraordinary power, impacting the Sequence 6 car with its flashing lights.

Logically speaking, three Sequence 7s plus three Sequence 9s, even if they cannot suppress the car with flashing lights, should be enough to form a strong balance and ultimately save themselves from trouble.

Inside the Tower of Babel, Xu Lindong's consciousness was also constantly monitoring the mental threads connecting Long Ling and Lu Qian.

He heard all their conversations through the threads of their minds, thus being able to closely monitor the changing situation.

At this moment, a stalemate seemed to have occurred inside the car with its hazard lights flashing, as the extraordinary powers of both sides clashed.

According to Xu Lindong's assessment, this confrontation will not last long, at most ten seconds.

Because even if a sequence transcendent being unleashes their extraordinary power, it cannot sustain that power for very long.

His judgment was correct; almost at the seventh second, Lu Qian and Long Ling simultaneously exchanged thoughts through their telepathic threads.

"Oh no!"

"This is bad! The evil domain of this car has overlapped with the evil domain of the traffic light, and its power far surpasses ours!"

.

"Ryuji, get out of here right now! You haven't been entangled by the evil figure yet. With your strength and the help of the supernatural, you should have a chance to escape! We're all stuck here."

The situation had become extremely urgent, and Lu Qian decisively gave up and began to persuade Li Long to leave.

"So it's come to this."

Xu Lindong's gaze sharpened, and without further hesitation, his consciousness instantly detached from the Tower of Babel. At the same time, he consumed 150 merit points to summon the Scraping Blade.

Now that he has accumulated more than 8,300 merits, this little bit of consumption is nothing.

"Whoosh!"

A cold, sharp razor appeared in his hand.

The moment the blade appeared, the surrounding air seemed to suddenly cool down, and a chilling aura quickly spread.

Xu Lindong gripped his straight sword tightly, pointing it into the depths of the evil realm shrouded in mist.

His expression was solemn, and he wasn't entirely sure if doing so would allow the scraper, which was of the same origin, to attract the car's hazard lights.

However, when this knife was first used near the ancestral hall sinkhole, it caused unusual activity within the ancestral hall, and the knife itself became restless.

"I hope I guessed right."

Xu Lindong thought to himself, while also feeling the urgency of time.

Through the telepathic connection, he knew that the situation inside the car with the hazard lights flashing was critical.

Long Ling will likely be forced to abandon the vehicle after being persuaded by her companions.

Just as his thoughts were turning, the shaving knife in his hand suddenly trembled violently.

The blade gleamed coldly, then suddenly unleashed a powerful pulling force, almost dragging his body towards the evil realm deep within the mist.

"It worked!?"

Xu Lindong was overjoyed and immediately steadied himself. At the same time, the Tower of Babel around his neck lit up slightly.

A vast and powerful suppressive force descended, enveloping the razor blade in his hand.

The scraper was still vibrating incessantly.

But the immense force that had been dragging people forward quickly subsided, and even the tremors gradually calmed down.

Ta Ye is still Ta Ye.

This evil artifact, which had already been suppressed by the Tower Master, couldn't cause any trouble at all.

Just then, Xu Lindong suddenly sensed something unusual inside the Tower of Babel, as if the Goddess Houtu was speaking to him.

He immediately immersed his consciousness into the tower and heard the voice of the Goddess Houtu.

"You took that knife out?"

"If you don't follow my method and please that sorcerer, even if you use this knife, you won't be able to solve the car problem."

Xu Lindong sighed, "Your Majesty, things have come to this point, stop playing games with me. How exactly should we please that Ghost General?"

"Lady Houtu, although there are not many ghost generals in the underworld, there are several. I cannot determine which ghost general's power these evil creatures originate from."

However, you could try them one by one, perhaps by bowing to the knife a few times first?

Xu Lindong was taken aback.

in!

What kind of hellish way of trying to please people is this?

Kneel before a knife?

That's really embarrassing.

"Don't want to? Then you can try tickling this knife... eliminate them one by one."

Xu Lindong was speechless. What kind of strange and bizarre methods were these?

Is there such a way to break through evil spirits? Are you sure it's not just some strange hobby of this Houtu Goddess?

But considering the urgency of the situation, and that no one but Houtu Niangniang could witness the embarrassing incident inside the Tower of Babel, it seemed that giving it a try wouldn't hurt.

Meanwhile, deep within the evil realm shrouded in mist, changes began to occur as Xu Lindong took out his razor blade.

The car, with its various alarms and warning lights flashing wildly, suddenly roared to life, its engine making an eerie starting sound, and began to reverse on its own, gradually moving away from the block where the strange traffic lights were located.

This sudden change startled the five people struggling to stay upright inside the car.

Immediately afterwards, they felt the oppressive feeling gradually diminish as they moved further away from the traffic light area.

But soon, the car stopped reversing and came to a complete stop in place.

The headlights and sirens continued to flash, and the windshield wipers even started moving automatically.

The air conditioning vents inside the car began to spew out a chilling, bone-chilling cold, as if fighting against the supernatural object that had caused the malfunction.

The clash of supernatural powers erupted once again, and became even more intense.

Long Ling tried to push open the car door, but heard all the locks click shut at the same time.

All four doors were completely locked.

The chilling air emanating from the air conditioning vents felt like the mouths of evil spirits, blowing coldly onto the faces and necks of everyone inside the car.

Not to mention Cai Chen and his two companions who were still being entangled by the evil figure, even Lu Qian and Long Ling felt their bodies stiffen and turn cold.

The chill enveloped my body, as if even my blood was about to freeze.

"We're both from the same source, why would I be afraid of your iron shell and its yin energy?"

'

Long Ling suddenly snorted coldly.

His eyes and fair skin quickly turned bluish-gray, and the life force emanating from him rapidly faded.

The bright red robe quickly faded and turned white, like an old white garment draped over her body, which exuded a cold, corpse-like aura.

The extraordinary power of the Impermanent Ghost Official has been fully unleashed!

Her once thick black hair suddenly grew wildly, like countless black threads piercing through the car's interior decorations, instantly penetrating the evil phantoms, intending to transform those phantoms into her puppets, turning them into her ghostly soldiers.

"Old Cai, how much longer are we going to have to wait?!"

Long Ling let out a sharp shout.

Cai Chen's aura suddenly became deep and heavy, his face turned yellowish-brown, and sand began to seep from his skin.

The sand around him quickly seeped out from his clothes, spreading and expanding rapidly. Large amounts of sand and stones swept around the car, as if trying to fill the entire vehicle with its hazard lights flashing.

The cramped carriage was instantly filled with a suffocating, oppressive feeling.

"Gah!!"

The car's hazard lights flashed, and it made a groan of being overwhelmed. The tires were visibly flat and deformed, as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on the car.

"Bang! Bang!"

Countless grains of sand and gravel coalesced into heavy, sharp cones of earth, which violently rammed into the sides of the vehicle.

The car door began to twist upon impact, and the car window glass cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, but it still did not completely shatter.

This is precisely the power of the Mountain Spirit Sequence: Earth Mountain Lord.

Unlike Rock Mountain Lord's fierce, violent, and expansive style, Earth Mountain Lord is more solid and sturdy, excelling in defense and suppression.

However, just as everyone inside the car unleashed their extraordinary power to fight back...

Thick smoke suddenly billowed from the hood of the car with its hazard lights flashing.

Sparks flew out from the car, making it seem as if it was about to explode.

In that instant, the extraordinary power of the hazard-flashing car reached its peak.

The people inside the car were completely suppressed, and even the twisted car door began to slowly return to its original state.

Cai Chen's power seemed to have been forcibly suppressed.

"How could this be? This vehicle isn't just a simple Sequence Six Evil Object?"

Inside the car, Long Ling's face was ashen. She coughed repeatedly, choked by the thick smoke that filled the car, and her long hair, which had gotten stuck inside the car, began to curl and shrink.

Lu Qian, who was in the passenger seat, was trembling and spasming all over.

There was an electrical leak somewhere inside the car.

Moreover, this electric current was extremely unusual; it was an eerie, supernatural force, as if it foreshadowed that the car was about to spontaneously combust.

"It's over, this car is going to spontaneously combust and explode! This is the most dangerous situation recorded in the data!"

A short-haired woman sitting next to Cai Chen exclaimed in horror.

Even if an evil object self-destructs and is destroyed, it can be restored as the evil power reassembles.

What's truly terrifying is the malevolent power it carries, not its outward form.

But for those inside the car, their fate was uncertain.

Sitting to the side, Grandpa Liu's eyes were cloudy and his voice was hoarse as he said, "The car's evil power has exceeded the limits of all of us. It's estimated that it killed some more people along the way, and its evil power has increased! It deviates from what's recorded in the data."

The power of evil entities is not fixed, but rather increases with each act of killing.

This is why official sources repeatedly warn against relying solely on information from the public.

Sometimes, the authorities simply don't provide any information at all.

Because even a slight misjudgment could be fatal, and that's exactly the situation now.

boom!!

Just then, a superb motorcycle suddenly broke through the thick fog and sped over.

The golden-red headlights, like the eyes of a beast, locked onto the eerie car.

On the motorcycle, Xu Lindong's face was ruddy and his expression was solemn. He was communicating with Houtu Niangniang inside the Tower of Babel and found it somewhat unbelievable that he could hear about the possibility of pleasing the Ghost General.

"Your Majesty, are you really not joking with me? This can really please the Ghost Commander and break the killing pattern of this car with hazard lights?"

3

Inside the Tower of Babel, Houtu Niangniang said calmly, "I wasn't sure to begin with."

But didn't you just try that knife?

Since it has calmed down, it means my judgment was correct.

Xu Lindong's face twitched upon hearing this. Remembering the result of his earlier probing, he could only grit his teeth, tighten the accelerator, and speed off...
