Chapter 108: Fighting Magic

Zhang Wei strolled forward, took a look at the arrangement on the ground, and said, "Not a blade of grass grows in the courtyard; this is a lime-covered ground."

Miao Zhiwei, who had followed him in, immediately asked, "Shouldn't lime-covered ground be white?"

Uncle Feng squatted down, reached out to wipe the ground, and Miao Zhiwei indeed saw the white lime.

Uncle Feng grabbed a handful, blew on it, and discovered shards of glass.

He frowned and said, "They are raising a corpse here."

Zhang Wei immediately pulled out a Eight Trigrams mirror and shone it at the chrysanthemum pattern on the stone lamp at the entrance.

"Boom!"

A blue light emerged and collided with the golden light of the Eight Trigrams mirror; Zhang Wei was knocked back a step by the force.

Uncle Feng immediately warned, "The spirit realm has fallen into the demonic path, be careful."

Zhang Wei immediately held the Eight Trigrams mirror and was about to step forward, but Uncle Feng stopped him at once: "A-Wei, wait, don't go in yet. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light; if you go in like this, you will fall into an ambush."

Uncle Feng immediately took out a red string and looked at Miao Zhiwei; Miao Zhiwei hesitated slightly before extending his hand.

Uncle Feng immediately wrapped it around his index finger several times and said, "A-Wei, cover me!"

Zhang Wei immediately came to Uncle Feng's side, standing ready for battle.

Uncle Feng performed magic again to connect Miao Zhiwei with Eddie inside; he controlled Miao Zhiwei to walk outward, and the already-dead Eddie inside also rose and walked outward.

Konishi Michiko, who was sitting there, raised her head, then took out a cold chrysanthemum and pulled out the flower core; the flower core turned into a long rope, which she threw directly, snaring Eddie's neck and pulling him to the ground with force.

Then she performed magic to control the rope's movement, and the noose around his neck began to tighten.

Uncle Feng, squatting beside Miao Zhiwei, saw ligature marks appear on the left side of his neck; he immediately broke off the burning end of the incense stick in Miao Zhiwei's mouth and threw it out, directly igniting the rope in Konishi Michiko's hand.

Inside the room, Konishi Michiko immediately severed the rope, but a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Konishi Michiko performed magic again; a thin stick resembling yellow incense appeared in Eddie's mouth, and she controlled the thin stick to stab into Eddie's mouth.

Outside, the incense in Miao Zhiwei's mouth was also sinking; Uncle Feng sensed the opponent's intent, reached out to pinch the incense, scraped off a large amount of incense powder, and placed it near Miao Zhiwei's nose.

Then he reached out and pulled the skin on Miao Zhiwei's neck, and the incense powder was instantly inhaled into it.

Inside the room, a puff of gas sprayed out from Eddie's nose, directly forcing Konishi Michiko back.

Konishi Michiko's face showed resentment; she pulled out a yellow rope again to control Eddie's limbs for hand-to-hand combat, while Uncle Feng outside struggled to control Miao Zhiwei.

But after a few moves, Uncle Feng was forced back; Konishi Michiko controlled Eddie to walk forward, and Uncle Feng, watching the approaching Miao Zhiwei, immediately began to calculate Konishi Michiko's position.

Uncle Feng reached out to push the side and felt that rope.

Konishi Michiko also turned her head to look at the rope that had developed a curve.

The next second, Uncle Feng took out a Eight Trigrams jade pendant and turned to probe; Konishi Michiko was attacked and immediately released her control over Eddie.

She reached out, took off the black veil she was wearing, looked at the doorway to the side, and ran straight toward it.

Uncle Feng also rushed to the doorway, and Zhang Wei, whose speed was not slow, stood on the left.

The two exchanged a glance; Uncle Feng grabbed the jade pendant and struck through the doorway, while a woman's palm reached out from the other side of the doorway and struck Zhang Wei's Eight Trigrams mirror.

"Ah!"

Konishi Michiko let out a cry of pain and hurriedly retreated.

"Tornado!"

The ignored Lin Jiajun rushed in and shouted loudly.

Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng hurriedly looked back.

Konishi Michiko inside the door immediately took out the cold chrysanthemum to perform magic, marked Lin Jiajun's soul, and then turned and fled.

Zhang Wei was the first to react and crashed through the wooden door to break in.

The magic array inside the room was immediately activated, and suddenly a sinister wind howled; even in the courtyard, the wind and clouds began to shift.

Zhang Wei was greatly alarmed and hurriedly retreated from the room.

Lin Jiajun looked up and said in surprise, "Why has the weather changed so suddenly?"

Zhang Wei said angrily, "You street rat, shut up!"

The next second, the weather instantly grew much darker, and dark clouds gathered.

Uncle Feng hurriedly retreated to Lin Jiajun and Miao Zhiwei's side and said, "We have fallen into the magic array of the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect, be careful."

The next second, several black shadows appeared in that room.

Zhang Wei immediately said, "Uncle, five evil ghosts!"

Lin Jiajun said dismissively, "What the hell are you guys doing!"

"Whoosh!"

A cold wind blew past, and a woman's head flew out.

Lin Jiajun and Miao Zhiwei could not see it, but both Uncle Feng and Zhang Wei could.

Uncle Feng shouted, "It's a Japanese Hitouban, A-Wei, be careful!"

Zhang Wei grabbed the Eight Trigrams mirror and recited a Golden Light Divine Incantation; the Eight Trigrams mirror immediately glowed with golden light and shot a golden sword at the Hitouban.

The Hitouban sensed a great threat and immediately dodged.

"Boom!"

The golden sword struck the house, instantly punching a large hole in it.

Immediately, four other evil ghosts rushed out: the Futako Onna, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Kayako, and the Pen Spirit.

Lin Jiajun and Miao Zhiwei only felt the surroundings grow a few degrees colder and could not help but shiver.

Zhang Wei was greatly alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Patriarch, protect me!"

On Lamma Island, inside the Ghost Gate at the basement of the Pagoda Building, the person sitting cross-legged and emitting golden light moved their eyes.

They saw an image of Zhang Wei appear before them.

And Zhang Wei pinched a sword seal and shouted, "I ask the Patriarch to assist me!"

The next second, he felt a force enter his body, and the power of the Eight Trigrams Mirror in his hand surged.

Zhang Wei's own body also expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a muscular man.

Miao Zhiwei said in surprise, "Partner, look, how amazing!"

Lin Jiajun was also surprised and said, "What kind of trick is this?"

Zhang Wei, whose strength had skyrocketed, immediately struck; the golden sword within the Eight Trigrams Mirror erupted instantly, and those five evil ghosts also sensed the threat, immediately unleashing powerful Yin energy to block the golden light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror.

Because of the reinforcement of the magic array, the Yin energy of the five evil ghosts seemed endless.

Uncle Feng, standing to the side, saw the trick of it; he carefully examined the surrounding environment and discovered the eye of the magic array.

Uncle Feng immediately cast a spell, taking out a Eight Trigrams jade pendant and striking it against the array eye.

"Boom!"

The magic array was broken, and the sky, which had just been dark, turned into daytime in the blink of an eye.

The five evil ghosts had their strength greatly affected and immediately retreated back into the room.

Zhang Wei's muscles quickly receded, and the golden light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror returned to normal.

Zhang Wei said with some regret, "Aiya, this time it was too fast. Uncle, shall we chase?"

Uncle Feng nodded and said, "Wait for me to set up an array."

He immediately stepped forward and drew Ghost-Suppressing Talismans around the house.

Zhang Wei also followed by sticking on divine talismans.

Next, he took out a few Ghost-Repelling Talismans and handed them to Miao Zhiwei, saying, "We are going in, you two be careful yourselves."

Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng walked into the room.

The space inside was low and cramped, the passageway was narrow, and there were large shadows.

Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng could only walk one after the other, paying attention to the situation around them.

The five evil ghosts hiding in the shadows were staring at Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng who had walked in.

Konishi Michiko, who had already escaped, sensed that her magic array had been broken and knew well that these five evil ghosts were no match.

She immediately had the Pen Spirit, Slit-Mouthed Woman, and Futako Onna flee, leaving behind the Flying Head and Kayako to block them.

The Flying Head took the initiative to appear and attack Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng; Zhang Wei held the Eight Trigrams Mirror to attack, while Uncle Feng, with divine talismans in one hand and the jade pendant in the other, was not afraid in the slightest.

Kayako was crawling above their heads, her long black hair spreading out like a waterfall, slowly reaching toward Uncle Feng from behind.

Uncle Feng stomped his foot as a signal; Zhang Wei held the Eight Trigrams Mirror and charged at the Flying Head, while Uncle Feng feigned moving forward a few steps, then immediately turned around, raised the jade pendant to strike Kayako in the face, and slapped a divine talisman onto Kayako's chest, pinning Kayako so she could not move.

The Eight Trigrams Mirror in Zhang Wei's hand shot out a golden sword, directly blasting the Flying Head until its soul scattered.

Uncle Feng took out a yellow cloth and wrapped Kayako up.

Zhang Wei asked in confusion, "Uncle, are we taking this Japanese female ghost back to be transcended too?"

Uncle Feng nodded and said, "Let's try."

Having said that, he walked toward the outside.

Zhang Wei looked around and discovered that the aura of the other three evil ghosts had already vanished, so he had no choice but to follow Uncle Feng and leave.

Seeing the two come out, Lin Jiajun immediately said, "What on earth are you two doing?"

Zhang Wei said disdainfully, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

Lin Jiajun said angrily, "You two, don't act on your own!"

Immediately, the four returned to the police station.

After returning to the police station, Zhang Wei had Miao Zhiwei go check the owner's information, while Uncle Feng dealt with the matter of Kayako.

Seeing Uncle Feng's superstitious appearance, Lin Jiajun felt a bit angry and mocked, "If worshipping gods could solve cases, then we would just invite Taoist priests directly."

Uncle Feng ignored Lin Jiajun, and Zhang Wei retorted directly, "If it weren't for Uncle, would you have been able to find the current clues?"

Lin Jiajun was left speechless, snorted coldly, and walked out the door; just then, Miao Zhiwei found the data, and Lin Jiajun directly stopped Miao Zhiwei and asked, "What did you find?"

Miao Zhiwei immediately said, "I found that the owner is named Konishi Michiko, and she opened a Japanese-style restaurant."

Lin Jiajun said excitedly, "Well done, let's go, we'll go investigate."

Miao Zhiwei asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we tell Brother Wei and Uncle?"

Lin Jiajun gritted his teeth and glared, saying, "Let's go."

Miao Zhiwei had no choice but to follow Lin Jiajun and leave.

It just so happened that Zhong Lian had bought some things; she walked over, saw Lin Jiajun and the others, and immediately said, "Officer Lin, come eat something?"

Lin Jiajun was embarrassed to refuse and had no choice but to follow her back to the office.

Zhang Wei blocked Lin Jiajun's path and handed the hamburger in Zhong Lian's hand to Lin Jiajun.

This made Zhong Lian feel a bit aggrieved; Uncle Feng, who was to the side, said, "Go pour me a glass of water."

Seeing Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng teaming up, Zhong Lian had no choice but to say in a low voice, "I understand."

Zhong Lian, holding a popsicle, poured a glass of water for Uncle Feng, but a piece of the popsicle accidentally fell into the water.

Zhang Wei and Uncle Feng both saw this scene, and Zhang Wei immediately said, "Uncle, that person from the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect must have used an Ice Talisman!"

Uncle Feng immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, to the morgue."

Zhang Wei immediately followed; Lin Jiajun had originally gone to check the restaurant, but now he had no choice but to follow Uncle Feng to the morgue.

However, Konishi Michiko, who had already escaped, had cast an Ice Talisman on the deceased Eddie; she wanted to control Eddie to kill Lin Jiajun and stop them from continuing their investigation.

Uncle Feng, Zhang Wei, and the other two arrived at the morgue, and Uncle Feng made a fire cup and placed it on the hole in Chen Zhuzhu's head.

Soon, the milky white liquid from the melted Ice Talisman was sucked out.

Lin Jiajun did not believe in any Ice Talisman that Uncle Feng spoke of; he dragged Miao Zhiwei and walked out, locking Uncle Feng and Zhang Wei inside the morgue.

But as soon as they went out, they encountered Eddie, who had come to hunt them down.

Uncle Feng and Zhang Wei heard the noise outside and immediately ran to the door; Zhang Wei stepped forward to open it and saw that the door had been locked with handcuffs.

He cursed loudly, "Lin Jiajun, you bastard, throw the key over here quickly!"

Lin Jiajun held his revolver, aiming at the approaching Eddie, while Miao Zhiwei immediately came over to open the door.

In the panic, Miao Zhiwei took out the car keys, gave them to Zhang Wei, and then ran over to help.

Lin Jiajun retreated and ran to the doorway, saying, "Uncle, it's a walking corpse."

"Ouch."

Miao Zhiwei was knocked to the ground by Eddie, but Eddie's target was Lin Jiajun; he let Miao Zhiwei go and walked straight toward Lin Jiajun.

Zhang Wei saw the reflection of Lin Jiajun appear in Eddie's eyes and laughed, "You're done for, his target is you."

Uncle Feng shook his head and said, "Climb up, don't come down."

Lin Jiajun was in a great hurry and immediately climbed into the ventilation duct.

Eddie immediately raised his head and followed Lin Jiajun's movement; Miao Zhiwei thought to help, so he smashed a stool at Eddie, but Eddie pushed Miao Zhiwei aside and continued to follow Lin Jiajun.

Seeing that Eddie was ignoring him, Miao Zhiwei immediately grabbed a fire extinguisher and smashed it onto Eddie's head; the dry ice formed by the carbon dioxide instantly destroyed the effect of the ice talisman, causing the reflection of Lin Jiajun in Eddie's eyes to disappear.

Now Eddie attacked Miao Zhiwei directly.

Zhang Wei immediately shouted, "Uncle, the reflection in Eddie's eyes has disappeared."

Uncle Feng shouted, "Kick the door open!"

Zhang Wei gathered his strength and kicked through the door; Uncle Feng immediately rushed out, picked up a rubber hose, looped it around Eddie's neck, and pulled hard, forcing the ice talisman out of Eddie's brain.

"Catch it quickly!"

Miao Zhiwei and Lin Jiajun above immediately reached out to grab it, but the ice talisman was too slippery and returned into Eddie's brain, and Miao Zhiwei and Lin Jiajun also fell down.

Uncle Feng immediately pushed the two of them and shouted, "Go quickly."

Zhang Wei finally pulled his foot out of the door, took out a Eight Trigrams mirror, and shone it at Eddie, who was chasing Uncle Feng; Eddie immediately froze in place.

"Uncle, hurry and use fire to burn him!"

Uncle Feng immediately jumped down from the ventilation duct, rushed into the morgue to get gasoline, poured it on Eddie, and then lit it with a fire.

"Boom!"

The water basin in front of Konishi Michiko, who was casting a spell, exploded directly.

Konishi Michiko looked at the water basin in front of her, snorted coldly, cast a spell to ignite the water basin, and turned to leave.

Although Uncle Feng and Zhang Wei dealt with the walking corpse Eddie, they were reported by the medical examiner.

Inspector Ma looked at the four people in front of him and said angrily, "What are you doing, burning a corpse in the morgue! How do you expect me to report this to my superiors?"

Uncle Feng said with a calm face, "Tell the truth; I already made it clear to you."

Inspector Ma said with a headache, "That's true, but there was no need to cause such trouble. Forget it, just solve the case as soon as possible."

Walking out of the office, Zhang Wei looked at Lin Jiajun and said, "You little bastard, stop causing trouble."

Lin Jiajun was somewhat unconvinced, but then he deflated.
