Chapter 87: This world is unscientific (18)

Having forcefully been stuffed with dog food, Zhang Lian Fei wasn’t in such a good mood. Hence, when he was talking about Zheng Tan’s encounter with a ghost, his voice was dark and gloomy so as to give Pang Fei a fright.

However, he was telling a ghost story to someone who was a ghost himself. No matter how scary the story was, it still wouldn’t be able to scare a ghost. Hence, after Zhang Lian Fei finished telling the story with a colourful expression, he was only met with Pang Fei’s indifferent face.

Zhang Lian Fei was very dissatisfied: “Why do you look like that?! Isn’t this very frightening?”

Pang Fei dully said: “I think this is a very normal matter. After you saw me, don’t tell me your three views still haven’t changed? There are ghosts everywhere in this world. I used to be an evil spirit. There’s nothing strange about there being another evil spirit on that road taking away life. This is such a common situation. It’s just that we don’t know whether that ghost’s ability is great or not. If it is very powerful, then I might not be able to deal with it. I can only call master or teacher to come.”

Zhang Lian Fei thought for a moment and felt that what Pang Fei said was very reasonable. Indeed, he has already seen the ghost Pang Fei with his own eyes. Why should he still be afraid of an evil spirit blocking the road? “Then, come with us tomorrow night to take a look at that road. Afterwards, we’ll invite you to eat Haagen-Dazs and a family bucket!”

Pang Fei deviously chuckled: “At least 5 meals.”

“You are simply robbing me!” At this moment, the unconscious Zheng Tan had already woken up. After being resurrected by his comrade, he was very resentful to find that his comrade had taken advantage of his misfortune.

Pang Fei simply shrugged: “Alright, then I won’t eat. Anyway, I still have a lot of things I need to do tomorrow.”

Zheng Tan’s mouth twitched. This was too much! He dared to be so arrogant!

“You, you scammer! Five meals it is! If you don’t have any way to solve this problem for me, I will definitely stick talismans all over your body!”

.

Pang Fei smiled. Go ahead and stick them. In any case, practically all the talismans sold in the market were fake.

The three of them agreed to meet up tomorrow night at 9:30 to take a look at that road. Pang Fei then ate a roast duck that Zhang Lian Fei had hidden in his fridge before leaving in satisfaction. Zhang Lian Fei was in a very bad mood and pinched Zheng Tan’s neck: “It’s clearly you who invited me for a meal, but in the end, I actually lost a roast duck! This month, I’ll follow you around and leech off your snacks! Just wait until I eat you poor!”

Zheng Tan deviously thought: Laozi won’t eat snacks for the month. Just see what you can do!

The next day, Pang Fei reported this matter to Yi Xiao and Ren Zhu. Although he had decided to go at night and face the supposed evil spirit alone, he was still just a ghost who had cultivated for less than a month. In case he ran into one of those old resentful spirits, he might not be able to defeat it and would probably also implicate his two friends. Hence, he wanted to see what his master thought about it.

Perhaps it was because his nosy, worrisome and chatty characteristics were all used up in his previous life, Yi Xiao was completely indifferent in this lifetime. He didn’t care the least bit about this matter, so he didn’t even bother to make a sound. However, Teacher Ren was still someone who loved to worry about others. His requirement for this lifetime was to save the evil spirits. He has already saved Pang Fei and Dou Dou. Who knows how far the mission has progressed? If this evil spirit was also one of the targets, then he really should go take a look.

[Ding. The system’s friendly notice: You have already saved two evil spirits. The mission progress is 2%.]

“Pfft!”

Teacher Ren was drinking water when he heard the system’s notice. After the system mentioned the progress number, he nearly sprayed the water all over Pang Fei’s face.

“What’s wrong?” Yi Xiao immediately looked over. Ren Zhu waved his hand and felt that his heart was very weary. “It’s nothing. Anyway, I have nothing on tomorrow so I’ll also go over and take a look.”

Pang Fei instantly beamed with happiness. With Teacher Ren watching over them, regardless of whether it was an evil monster or a resentful spirit, he wouldn’t be afraid! Master Yi however wasn’t so happy: “Stay at home and watch me refine this bead.”

Ren Zhu inwardly chuckled. He also wanted to do this ah, but who made his mission progress only advance by 2%?! If it’s according to the system’s algorithm, he would need to save at least a hundred evil spirits in this lifetime before he could complete the mission! Although it would be very simple to exterminate evil spirits with Master Yi, the system required him to save them. That’s not something that could be completed by violently annihilating them. Hence, Teacher Ren could only sigh and rely on his own strength: “It’s not good to always laze around. I should find something to do. In any case, if I can’t solve the problem, I can just come and find you. I’ll come back right after I’m done with this matter. You don’t need to worry.”

After a fierce psychological struggle, Yi Xiao ultimately felt that a good old gong shouldn’t restrict his partner’s interests, hobbies and freedom. Although he really wanted to object, for the sake of their long term happiness, he should let him go and play for now. “Come back early. If you can’t defeat it, then run. I’ll be here.”

Ren zhu faintly smiled. “En.”

Pang Fei: “……” I’ve already gotten used to being stuffed with dog food. Now, I just want to find a beautiful female ghost to occasionally go on a date. It’s a pity that beautiful female ghosts are very hard to find.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Pang Fei and Ren Zhu set off from home. They arrived at Datian Road close to Zheng Tan’s house at 9:30. Zheng Tan and Zhang Lian Fei were already waiting there. When the two of them saw that Pang Fei had actually brought along someone who looked very reliable and very much like the director of their grade, a hint of relief appeared on their anxious faces. They felt that it really was good to have a teacher with them to deal with this matter.

“This is Teacher Ren. A very, very powerful teacher!” Pang Fei introduced.

Zheng Tan and Zhang Lian Fei quickly stood up straight: “Hello teacher.”

Ren Zhu smiled: “En. Let’s go and have a look at exactly what kind of mysterious thing is on that road. We can’t let it affect the lives of the people around here.”

Zheng Tan immediately felt that this teacher was very reliable. He stepped forward and shared his findings today: “Teacher Ren, it seems that another person has disappeared around here today. This time it’s a male student. Everyone suspects that he slipped and drowned in the lake nearby, but I think that he definitely disappeared on this road. Teacher, I have brought a lot of talismans. What kind of evil spirit do you think it is?”

Ren Zhu shook his head: “Before seeing the facts with my own eyes, any kind of guess is useless. Let’s go over and have a look. That way we’ll know.”

After saying this, Ren Zhu raised his foot and stepped forward. At the same time, he also activated the class teacher’s detailed perception and the class teacher’s camouflage. As soon as he opened these skills, he discovered that the small road in front of him was wrapped in a faint dark aura. This aura wasn’t as dense as that in Rainbow Kindergarten, but there seemed to be a strange fragrance coming from within, the kind that would cause a dizzying feeling the more you smelt it.

Just when Ren Zhu was thinking about what this fragrance was, he suddenly saw a small child rush up in front of him and frantically wave his hands: “Get out of here! The monster inside is about to take shape! It will come out and eat me! After it eats me, it will eat you! I can’t let it eat Zheng Tan gege! Hurry up and leave!”

Clearly, regardless of whether the thing inside was a monster or a ghost, the one in front of them was definitely an elementary school ghost baby. Perhaps it was because they had more people this time, the ghost actually said more words. When Zheng Tan heard his own name ring beside his ear, he look around in bewilderment. Ren Zhu kindly pointed in front of him before Zheng Tan walked up with uncertainty: “Who are you? Are you a ghost?”

The child was obviously very happy to see Zheng Tan. He spun around on the spot: “I am Gua Gua ah! Zheng Tan ge! You used to always take me here to play with slingshots! Don’t you remember me?”

When Zheng Tan heard this, he thought for a moment and then exclaimed: “Ah! Ding Gua Gua!!”

The instant Zheng Tan called Ding Gua Gua’s name, the child appeared in front of him and Zhang Lian Fei. Of course, this was thanks to Master Yi’s form revealing talisman.

“Zheng Tan ge!”

Zheng Tan took a good look at Ding Gua Gua and felt quite distressed. This child fell into the water and drowned when he was playing by the lake last year. Because of this, the Ding family mourned and directly moved away from this place. Zheng Tan was quite puzzled: “Gua Gua ah, why are you staying here? You didn’t follow your parents?”

Hearing this, Ding Gua Gua’s face fell and he looked like he was about to cry: “I, I can’t go.”

Zhang Lian Fei interjected next to him: “Could he be a location-bound spirit?”

Zheng Tan gave his best friend a kick. “Gua Gua, don’t worry. After tonight, I will find a master who is proficient in Dharma to help you ascend. I’ll ask him to make you a rich second generation in your next life. Tell me, what exactly is inside? What is about to take shape? In the past two days, two people have disappeared around here. Do you know where they are? Have they been eaten by the thing inside?”

Ding Gua Gua was clearly very friendly with Zheng Tan. He thought about the questions that Zheng Tan asked and then started to answer them one by one: “I also don’t know how to explain what that thing is. In the beginning, it was even weaker than me, but it can eat small animals to replenish its energy. After eating for half a year, it grew to be about the same as me. Then, it started to eat larger things, until it slowly occupied this entire grove. It had also wanted to eat me before, but it seems that it couldn’t digest me, so it didn’t bother with me. Since a month ago, it started to eat people. After it ate them, its strength grew very fast. I can feel that if it eats 3 more people, it would also be able to eat me.”

Hearing this, Zheng Tan and Zhang Lian Fei were terrified. The two of them couldn’t help but look towards the pitch black road in front as well as the small forest. At this moment, Ding Gua Gua said: “Zheng Tan ge, you should hurry up and leave! It seems to have already discovered your existence! It’s going to come and eat you guys!”

Zheng Tan and Zhang Lian Fei both looked at Ren Zhu. Teacher Ren thought for a moment and then picked up a brick from the ground.

When the thing that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws came charging from the darkness, Ren Zhu said to the brick: “Suppose, you are now a brick that weighs a tonne. Nothing can escape your suppression.”

Zheng Tan and Zhang Lian Fei: “???”

Then, Teacher Ren elegantly raised his hand and threw it out. The regular-sized brick flew in a parabola and directly smashed into the supposed face of that big black ball. Then… bang!

A big hole was smashed into the ground. In the middle of that hole, the demonic ghost spider that had just taken shape had its legs sprawled out under the pressure.

Ding Gua Gua: “Oh my God!”

Zheng Tan and Zhang Lian Fei: “!!!”

We must have seen a fake brick! How can that be a brick?! That is clearly a heavy steel plate!!

[Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully developing a new weapon: Class Teacher’s hypothetical brick (and others).]

Sorry for the long absence. Lol the brick is like Thor’s hammer.
