Chapter 721: Watch This Old Man Slay Demons and Eliminate Evil

~8 min read 1,407 words

The next second!

Ji Xiang swept his gaze over, and he too was stunned.

The "Master" walked over slowly.

Ji Xiang's impression of her was a fox face—not the kind of cone-shaped face seen on internet celebrities, but a face shape that carried a hint of the demonic.

But now, the "Master" had already begun to transform.

Her left face was square, and the eye was also a bit larger; although the eyebrow hadn't changed, it gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Moreover, the face shape was a standard, masculine "square" face.

Yet the "Master's" right face remained a fox face, a charming woman's face, without the slightest change.

It seemed as if, with the nose as the center line, she had been pieced together from two halves of different people.

Even when entering the world of patients with Mental Illness through Empathy, Ji Xiang had never seen such a bizarre person.

No wonder the Dean had an expression of having a Myocardial Infarction; with this thing, whoever saw it would be unable to remain calm.

Bai Chuzhang also looked surprised; he had no contact with the "Master," only having heard some gossip from others.

However!

Seeing it with his own eyes today!

In just an instant, even Bai Chuzhang wavered slightly and nearly fell.

"This way, please." Someone bowed and guided the "Master" toward the Operating Room from earlier.

Ji Xiang watched, dumbfounded.

He didn't go to the System Operating Room; this wasn't a medical issue, after all.

Ji Xiang just hadn't expected that such bizarre things actually existed in the world.

The moment the woman walked past him, Ji Xiang seemed to hear a cold wind howling in his ears, and an invisible hand gripped his heart tightly, causing his entire body's blood flow to be greatly affected.

But after all, Ji Xiang had experienced the strange and fantastical world of Empathy and was well-informed.

When he felt something was wrong, he desperately forced his gaze away from the "Master" and shifted his focus.

Subconsciously shivering, Ji Xiang looked down at the floor; he saw the woman walking past him in an uncoordinated manner.

The "Master's" gait was not coordinated, as if the two sides of the body were two different people, and they were controlling one body; these two people were constantly fighting, struggling to seize control of the body.

It was just that they were suppressed, or covered by clothing, so all the manifestations were on the face.

Countless legends flashed through Ji Xiang's mind.

Once, Ji Xiang thought these were all Urban Legends, nonsense, after-dinner entertainment, or tricks to scare children.

But after witnessing it with his own eyes today, Ji Xiang believed it; seeing is believing.

But!

The next second, this belief triggered a "past event" deep in Ji Xiang's heart.

When he saw Lao Wangtou sitting in a wheelchair being pushed out for a stroll by Wang Quan during Empathy, he seemed to have also believed the "fact" that Lao Wangtou was still alive.

But at that time, Shen Lang switched directly from a gossiping state to a clear-headed state; Lang Ge, that is, Shen Lang, understood the cause and effect perfectly well.

Although Shen Lang was talking about gossip, he was crystal clear in his heart.

Then what about himself?

Ji Xiang let out a breath, as if Shen Lang were right beside him.

Compared to Zhou Jiaoshou, Shen Lang was more long-winded, more gossipy, and also more approachable.

Ji Xiang raised his head and looked straight at the "Master's" back.

Unknowingly, Ji Xiang had already cast off his fear.

He felt that everything had a cause and an effect; on a macro level, the law of causality was still a law, and there was no existence that could escape the law of causality.

The "Master" took stiff steps and arrived at the entrance of 3 Shou.

"Evil creature!"

The "Master" said in a deep voice.

The woman's voice from before had vanished completely, and a thick, masculine voice echoed in the corridor of the operating room.

"Watch this old man slay demons and eliminate evil!"

This sentence was quite strange.

The strangeness wasn't in slaying demons and eliminating evil, but in the fact that the first half of the sentence was the man's thick voice, while the second half changed into the fox-faced woman's voice.

Ji Xiang vaguely saw two little people fighting.

He could only think this way; only by thinking of something childlike could Ji Xiang detach himself from the bizarre emotions.

Ji Xiang carefully observed that "Master," but found no flaws.

She was wearing a long gown, somewhat worn, with faint patterns on it, but Ji Xiang couldn't understand what the patterns meant.

But Ji Xiang could be certain that this long gown could only hold one person; it was absolutely impossible for two people to be hidden inside.

Even two dwarves would find it difficult. Yet, dwarves couldn't explain the two different facial expressions and emotions on the "Master's" face.

Ji Xiang sighed in his heart; he wanted to learn from Shen Lang, but he didn't know where to start.

Shen Lang pretended to be ignorant while knowing everything, leaning everything toward gossip.

But once the root of the matter was found, Shen Lang lacked neither courage nor wisdom.

Otherwise, Zhou Jiaoshou wouldn't have asked him to keep an eye on him; Ji Xiang could be certain that if he hadn't followed, Shen Lang would definitely have crowded up close and exposed Wang Quan's tricks right then and there.

Zhou Jiaoshou was worried that Wang Quan would be driven to desperate measures, so he had asked him to watch Shen Lang in advance.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiang remembered that brick, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Bai Chuzhang was startled; he caught the change in Ji Xiang's expression out of the corner of his eye and turned his head to look intently.

Ji Xiang was smiling!

He was actually smiling!!

The "Master" drew a circle in front of her with both hands, as if it were the opening move of Taiji, then let out a shout, "Tai!"

Male and female voices were mixed into this sound, exceptionally strange, eerie, and terrifying.

Bai Chuzhang stood a little closer to Ji Xiang, feeling slightly more at ease in her heart.

Following the "Master's" angry shout, she began to dance.

Bai Chuzhang felt a bit dizzy watching and retreated bit by bit, wanting to head back to the changing room.

There were faint gusts of cold wind in the operating room, which Bai Chuzhang was not used to.

A few minutes later, the "Master" seemed to have all her energy drained, and she leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

"Congratulations to the Master for slaying demons and eliminating evil!"

The man who had been following her the whole time said loudly, then knelt deeply before the woman, prostrating himself on the ground.

In the corridor, people knelt down one after another.

The "Master" raised her head and looked at them one by one, coldly.

Faced with the unknown eeriness and the sinister nature of one person with two faces, everyone's knees went weak like obedient sheep, and they knelt on the ground.

Meeting her gaze, only Ji Xiang did not move, and Bai Chuzhang, who was looking at the Dean beside Ji Xiang, did not see her gaze at all.

"Kid, why do you not bow!" the woman asked using a man's voice.

Ji Xiang took a deep breath; he was somewhat bewildered.

Ji Yongchang had once told him that a man's knees hold gold, and furthermore, Ji Xiang did not believe the other party truly possessed any supernatural powers.

Being questioned by the woman in a condescending tone, with a hint of reprimand in her words, Ji Xiang felt confused.

He did not know how to answer.

Hearing the woman ask in a man's voice, Bai Chuzhang wanted to pull Ji Xiang and block him behind her.

But after seeing the situation before her, Bai Chuzhang also froze.

Ji Xiang focused his mind and arrived at the System Operating Room.

Although it was always said that one shouldn't go looking for parents, when encountering a problem that couldn't be solved like this, Ji Xiang had no choice but to seek help from the system NPC again.

Hoping,

he would have a way to solve it.
