Weird Safe House: I became stronger after taking in my roommate!

Chapter 30 The Boss's Widow

Shen Xu frowned slightly, feeling a warm and fragrant breath tickling his ear.

Hong Jie's words infuriated Zhao Bin, but he was ultimately unable to break free of the Burning Heart and Soul Refining Array, and his soul was forcibly turned into ashes.

All that remained was a corpse with its eyes wide open, its death unresolved.

The Burning Heart and Refining Soul Array is designed to counter attacks against strange and unseen forces.

It won't harm the human body, otherwise Sister Hong would have been burned to death just now.

As a safety officer, Zhao Bin's soul had already merged with the strange power, so he would naturally perish along with it.

"He's dead?"

Sister Hong breathed a sigh of relief, her frightened expression easing slightly.

"Yes, but the matter is not over yet."

Shen Xu said calmly, "Zhao Bin is dead. His spiritual artifact has gone out of control and will turn into a strange creature."

The Nine Netherworld Fire was burning, and the Soul-Refining Array was not deactivated, but Shen Xu could not see the shadow of the ghost within the array.

Even his spiritual eyes couldn't detect the demon's hair.

The Spirit Eye is only a B-level strange power, and its abilities are still limited.

Your phone is ringing.

Sister Hong reminded me.

Shen Xu kept his eyes fixed on the Burning Heart Soul Refining Array and answered the phone.

"Shen Xu, is Zhao Bin dead? You must subdue his spiritual weapon!"

Murphy nervously emphasized, "Ghost Hair is very important, extremely important!"

"He is dead, but I didn't see any trace of the ghost."

"Something's not right. Logically, Ghost Hair should have lost control immediately—"

The fact that the artifact immediately goes out of control as soon as the safety officer dies is itself a bizarre rule.

"wrong."

Shen Xu said with certainty, "I can confirm that the ghost hair is not in Zhao Bin's body."

His gaze shifted to the other corpses in the room—the five security guards killed by the ghost.

These security guards were covered in blood, the marks of being entangled by ghost hair, and their seven orifices were empty!

Mouth agape, nostrils torn, ears deep-set, eye sockets connecting to an empty brain —

"boom!"

Shen Xu's eyes turned cold, and he directly activated the Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower, unleashing a bolt of lightning that struck one of the corpses!

The corpse twitched, emitting black smoke and a burnt smell.

He used the same trick again, striking the other corpses with several bolts of lightning in succession to investigate.

But when they came to the last corpse, a horrifying and terrifying scene unfolded.

The security guard, who was already dead, actually rolled away from the lightning and then stood up!

Bloody strands of hair began to emerge from his seven orifices, starting with just a few strands and then spreading to countless others!

Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life!

"Destroy".

Shen Xu activated the Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower, unleashing the power of thunder in an instant, pulverizing the corpse into dust.

But the next moment, thousands of strands of hair scattered and fled, disappearing under the sofa, into the bathroom, into window cracks—and even into cracks in the floor.

Shen Xuling's eyes flashed as he saw countless strange forces spreading outwards.

"Shen Xu, I've detected a lot of strange forces!"

"Disperse the crowd and move back a bit."

"I've already led my men back 500 meters away, be careful!"

Five hundred meters away?

This is already a street away.

You retreated way too far.

However, well done. As long as there are no living people around, it is difficult for the supernatural to grow.

"Look!"

Beside her, Sister Hong suddenly screamed, her eyes wide with terror as she looked at the ceiling.

Shen Xu looked up and was also somewhat horrified, because the entire ceiling was covered with fine hairs!

"That's interesting—"

"Zhao Bin has some experience in dealing with the supernatural."

He had read Zhao Bin's entire file; this guy became a security officer during a Class D incident.

At that time, he had not yet condensed a spiritual weapon; he had only survived by sheer luck and subsequently joined the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation.

With the help of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation, a suitable growth plan was developed for him, and he subsequently passed two trials.

And thus, this spiritual artifact, Ghost Hair, was formed.

Guifa started as a D-level supernatural being, but was upgraded to C-level by Zhao Bin.

He received a reward from headquarters last month, which allowed him to promote Guifa to B-rank.

"What a cunning thing."

Shen Xu's eyes flickered; this ghost was quite intelligent.

It should have known from the beginning that it couldn't defeat the A-grade spiritual artifact, the Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower.

They were unable to break through the Soul-Refining Array formed by the Nine Netherworld Karmic Fire, so they made preparations in advance.

When Zhao Bin hid in the private room, Gui Fa had already sent a portion of his strange power to attach to the corpses of the security guards.

It's like creating a clone —

"Shen Xu, watch out! The ghost hair seems to be forming a ghost realm!"

Murphy's voice came through the phone, trembling with fear, and somewhat halting and hoarse.

This is because the Ghost Realm has begun to distort reality, causing spatial overlap and resulting in communication devices becoming ineffective.

Shen Xu felt his arm tighten, and he sank into a soft, gentle embrace.

The club owner, Sister Hong, clung tightly to his arm, looking pitiful.

"Don't abandon me—my dear little brother, as long as you protect your sister, I'll do anything you ask."

Hongjie is petite and slender, which evokes a strong protective instinct in people. Combined with her current expression, she looks as delicate as a little kitten.

But Shen Xu knew that this woman was at most a little wildcat.

And it's the kind that scratches.

"Come on."

Shen Xu said calmly, "Your acting is quite good, but I'm not buying it."

"If you want to live, listen to me, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to whatever you say, sister."

Hongjie looked completely submissive, like an obedient little wife.

"Buzz!"

Shen Xu summoned the Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower to protect him and Sister Hong.

There were no other living people in this ghost realm, so the ghosts' only target was them.

Therefore, he was in no hurry. He went to the safe house to adjust his state first, and then slowly dealt with the ghost hair.

The safe house has been refreshed, and there is only one.

Shen Xu led Sister Hong through the club, which was filled with red light. Thousands of bloody hairs grew everywhere, from the ceiling to the cracks in the bricks of the walls.

It has the feel of a century-old house covered in cobwebs.

In this situation, Shen Xuguang was unable to find the true form of the ghost hair using only his spiritual eyes.
