In order to help people solve their problems, some evil things among the people would transfer the original luck of the person to other things in various forms, in order to find a substitute. The most popular carrier of this method was actually jewelry and money. After processing the jewelry and money, they would throw them on the roadside for people to pick up, and the bad luck of the thrower could then be transferred to the picker.
Therefore, some people, after picking up unexpected windfall, would lose even more money soon after. However, there was a way to crack this problem. If you returned the picked up property, generally nothing would happen.
However, this indiscriminate attack method had limited effect. At most, it would make people unlucky for a while, and it could not really solve any major problems for the caster.
In comparison, the other kind of request for a substitute was much more terrifying. The most powerful one could even transfer one’s own fatal disaster. However, this ability was not without cost. This way of requesting a substitute was much more troublesome, and the conditions for finding a substitute were relatively strict. Generally, the person who transferred the person’s body needed to hand it over to his or her substitute in person. And the request for a substitute also had different requirements for the substitute, whether it was the correct answer to a question, or the first stranger you met when you walked out of the range of the spell. There was only one thing in common: the handover must be completed in person.
It was definitely useless to throw things on the roadside for people to pick up indiscriminately. Therefore, many people who knew a little bit, if they met someone on the road who wanted to give them something for no reason, usually would not accept it.
Kuang Zhiming was an expert in this field. When he heard this, his face changed drastically: “Please help me? Who did you get this from?”
Tan Fu’s expression suddenly became awkward, and he looked like he really didn’t want to talk. After a while, he replied listlessly, “When I…I, I was on a business trip in Xinnan, I met a female online friend through WeChat Shake…”
Everyone: “…”
So in the information age, the conditions for asking for a replacement have been upgraded to just shaking WeChat…
The property manager also secretly thought that working here really allowed him to hear a lot of gossip about successful entrepreneurs.
“That girl asked me out for coffee right after she shook my hand. She gave me this while we were having coffee. I… I… I really didn’t think too much about it at the time… I just thought she was gentle and pretty…” Tan Fu started to cry as he spoke. “We just had a meal together. We didn’t do anything. I agreed to go out because I was so bored that day. I really haven’t done anything to let my wife down. Please don’t tell my wife!”
“…” Kuang Zhiming didn’t know what to say. He glanced at his wife’s face and silently moved away from him to show her that he had drawn a line. “You may have encountered these things because you accepted this substitute. That’s why the surrounding earthbound spirits chose to entangle you. You suddenly fell down and almost ran a red light. I’m afraid it wasn’t accidental. Other evil spirits saw an opportunity and wanted to choose you as a substitute. As long as you die, the disaster of the substitute will be eliminated.”
Tan Fu almost cried his eyes out after knowing the truth. Damn it, how could this happen! He was just distracted at the time, thinking of secretly flirting with someone while on a business trip. It showed that no matter how serious or minor it was, he should not do anything that would let his family down! This was God’s punishment!
Kuang Zhiming and his wife were speechless listening to his cries of regret. Fortunately, at this moment, the elevator shaft that had not been discovered finally showed signs of abnormality.
Wei Xi suddenly turned his head and looked at a wall not far away. A faint collision sound was heard from there. At the same time, the light tube above his head began to flicker.
The intermittent lighting and the sudden noises were truly eerie. Tan Fu immediately stopped crying, raised his head in horror, and then felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
He screamed, “Ahhhhh! I saw it!! So many! So many!!!”
Lu Wenqing was almost frightened to death by him, and then because of his strong Yin energy, he also saw clearly what he saw: “Woo!”
Amid their shouting, Kuang Zhiming put his fingers to his temples, chanted the eye-opening spell, and looked closely. He also saw a scene that shocked him –
At a concrete wall arch not far away, there were countless ghosts standing there. These ghosts were of different heights, weights and appearances. Some had clean features, while others had bloodstained faces. They were crowded together. The only thing they had in common was that they were all staring at Tan Fu with longing on their faces!
This number was far more than what the property manager mentioned. Obviously, a large part of them were attracted by Tan Fu’s request! Especially the leading male ghost in white, with a clear face, he should not be underestimated at first glance!
Without the protection of his membership card, Tan Fu saw everything clearly and almost fainted with fear. It was also the first time that Kuang Zhiming saw so many ghosts at the same time since he started his career, and he was also very scared. But when he thought of the bunch of ordinary people and half-wits following behind him, he immediately clenched the magic weapon in his hand with sweat dripping down his back and shouted to his wife: “Take them away first!”
His wife Xu Xiaofeng raised her peach wood sword as if facing a formidable enemy: “You take them away first!”
How could Kuang Zhiming dare to leave his wife in such a dangerous place? It was obviously going to be a tough battle! He decided to stay, so while thinking about countermeasures, he nervously turned to the group of half-baked people from the unknown Taoist temple around him and said, “It’s dangerous here! Leave quickly!”
The lights flickered at this moment, and he could vaguely see the face of Wei Xi who was standing closest to him. He couldn’t help but pause with his tense emotions. Why did this man look a little happy?
As a result, the light flickered several times, and when he looked again, he found that the few people from Taicang Sect who were originally standing beside him had disappeared.
Kuang Zhiming was frightened for a moment, thinking that they might have been captured by those substitute ghosts. But the next second, a shrill scream came from a distance.
Kuang Zhiming and his wife were startled and looked over in horror, but at the same time: “…”
Not far ahead, the three people from Taicang Sect… one was fiercely holding the leading male ghost’s ankle as a whip to beat the ghosts, one followed him with a cold face to catch those who tried to sneak attack, and one was running around the field with a face full of fear but punching and kicking everywhere to make trouble. The leading ghost who was used as a whip was howling miserably, and the rest of the aggressive ghost group had been defeated by them. But the little ghosts fled in all directions, howling loudly. It was unclear whether the ghosts were catching people, or people were catching ghosts.
Kuang Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down the magic weapon in his hand and pressed down the peach wood sword held high by his wife.
Why fight such a tough battle? You might even become mentally retarded.
