Chapter 371

Coo...

Wu Xian calmed down a little and smelled the aroma of the meat buns.

He decided to ignore this mess for now and eat his fill before considering how to solve this trouble.

Heigu had been very worried when she saw Wu Xian's state, but seeing him sit back at the dining table, she happily wagged her tail.

With the hot meat buns in his stomach, Wu Xian's mushy brain became a little clearer.

Heigu was waiting obediently opposite him.

After Wu Xian finished eating, she would pour the leftovers into her dog bowl and eat everything without leaving a scrap.

Wu Xian stared at Heigu for a while, and a brilliant idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Heigu, have you gained some weight recently?"

Heigu was stunned.

"How about I draw some blood from you? That way you can lose weight..."

Before he could finish speaking, Heigu transformed from human form to dog form, pounced on him, and put Wu Xian in a chokehold.

"Ha..."

Wu Xian emerged from the bathtub, gasping for air.

His lips were pale, his curly hair was plastered to his scalp, and pale red water flowed down from his face.

After some commotion.

Wu Xian drew a tube of black dog blood from Heigu, added it to cold water, took a cold-blood bath, and submerged his brain in the cold water for half a minute.

After coming out of the water, Wu Xian thought quickly and soon discovered many blind spots he hadn't thought of before.

It wasn't that he suddenly had an epiphany, but that the inexplicable addiction, like dirt, had covered Wu Xian's eyes and blocked his thinking.

Now that this dirt had been washed away by the black dog blood, his clever intelligence had occupied the high ground again.

"This black dog blood is indeed useful. Fortunately, Heigu is here; otherwise, if I wanted to get rid of the influence, I would have to beg Shi Ji... then I wouldn't be clean anymore."

Wu Xian's biggest discovery was a cognitive blind spot he had never thought of before.

The influence of the malevolent entity was universal. I'm afraid everyone in that building would be affected, so many people, unable to bear the harassment of noise and the feeling of being watched, chose to simply move away.

But here comes the problem.

Even Wu Xian, a Lotus Juanren who had experienced many Fudi, had been seduced by the addiction and almost couldn't extricate himself.

Why would those ordinary people be willing to move so easily?

Therefore, Wu Xian concluded.

The influence mechanism of this addiction had different effects on different people.

Wu Xian himself was a guy who walked in the gray area; he would even rob car thieves.

To investigate this matter, the method Wu Xian chose was trespassing, which was why the malevolent entity's power caught a handle and magnified the effect on Wu Xian.

I'm afraid the mechanism of this anomalous event was that the more things one did that couldn't be exposed in others' sight, the deeper one would be affected by the addiction.

Thinking of this.

The method to avoid anomalous influence became obvious.

Like a gentleman with Dao, one does not deceive even in a dark room.

As long as one acts openly and is not afraid of anything being exposed, one can minimize the influence of the addiction, and even ordinary people can barely keep their heads clear and break away from the anomaly.

This also made Wu Xian feel a bit embarrassed.

He had misunderstood that old man. That old man could move away just by his children's persuasion, so he should be a good person in life.

Wu Xian walked out of the bathroom.

He stroked Heigu's dog head.

"I'll trouble you for the next few days."

Heigu tucked her tail; surely he wasn't going to draw blood again.

"If you find me acting abnormally, bite me to wake me up."

Heigu's tail immediately spun like a fan; she loved doing this kind of thing the most. Then Wu Xian picked up the phone.

He had to report to the Chenghuangsuo!

For a Juanren, encountering a malevolent entity in the real world and reporting it to the Chenghuangsuo immediately was a very basic piece of common sense.

But before taking a bath, Wu Xian had been very resistant to contacting the Chenghuangsuo.

Just like those ordinary people, even if they were deeply troubled, they didn't resist calling the police, but they didn't even want to let private detectives get involved.

If it weren't for this.

Such a large-scale malevolent entity event would have been exposed long ago and easily handled by the Chenghuangsuo.

But now that Wu Xian had sobered up, he naturally had to report it immediately. After dialing the phone, a lazy voice came from the other side. It seemed that Han Xiaoying hadn't woken up yet.

"Hello, is that Xiaoying? Let me tell you something, there's a malevolent entity near my house."

"No, no, no, don't issue the entity-clearing mission yet. Let me play with it first. This malevolent entity event is a bit different. The commotion is too big, and it might escape. I need you to help me..."

Not letting Han Xiaoying issue the entity-clearing mission.

Was because up until now, the malevolent entity hadn't truly appeared.

The things Wu Xian had encountered were all 'influences' caused by inexplicable forces. There might not be a malevolent entity in the whole building; it was very likely that everyone was a victim.

If the Chenghuangsuo sent people over, it would only take a few hours to solve the matter and get the lives of the residents in this building back on track.

But that would hide the root of the problem, and sooner or later, it would erupt elsewhere.

After listening to Wu Xian's analysis, Han Xiaoying shouted: "What, I have never seen such a shameless..."

Wu Xian moved the phone away from his ear.

He touched the dog bite mark on his shoulder.

This damn malevolent entity caused him to be bitten by a dog; how could he let it escape?...

Under the tree in the complex.

The familiar cool shade.

Han Xiaoying carried a briefcase, her face livid, looking at Wu Xian fiercely. Her palms kept opening and closing, wishing she could grab Wu Xian's head directly and pull all of Wu Xian's curly hair straight.

The old man from yesterday, however, enthusiastically grabbed Wu Xian's hand and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Wu Xian's hand.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, old man, I'm the one who should thank you."

Wu Xian saw the old man off. The old man laughed heartily and left the complex accompanied by his children, his steps becoming much lighter.

Before, he was biased, always thinking that the residual filth was the former male master of the house who had become a vengeful ghost, but in fact, the residual filth was just the nanny hired by the former master of the house, with a thread of obsession not scattered, so she became the residual filth occupying the villa.

"It's good to go, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth."

Being disturbed by the residual filth, Wu Xian couldn't sleep, so he came to the courtyard and sat on the rocking chair looking at the moonlight.

"Played, moved, celebrated, it's time to prepare to go to the new Fudi to see..."

Wu Xian, once he figured out the direction of action, had terrifyingly high efficiency.

So when he was on the phone.

Wu Xian gave Han Xiaoying a round of... serious analysis.

The anomaly in that building was so large in scope, yet he hadn't seen the shadow of a malevolent entity. Wu Xian speculated that there might not be a malevolent entity there at all.

That place was just a hotbed for Nieren to cultivate malevolent entities, and the real malevolent entity hadn't been born yet.

And the anomaly mechanism in that building required the investigator, under the surveillance of others, not to do unspeakable things, and not to disturb the things hidden.

This was really forcing someone to do something difficult.

So for the sake of safety, the best method was...

To turn the house into the investigator's, and get a renovation permit. This way, no matter what the investigator did in their own home, they wouldn't have to worry about deepening the influence of the addiction!

Han Xiaoying was stunned by Wu Xian's words.

Information about Nieren was of great importance; she could only apply to the higher-ups and help Wu Xian buy this house! But Han Xiaoying always felt that Wu Xian was using this matter to secretly fish for benefits for himself.
