Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Lou Fan is still reminiscing about the change in Qin Tan’s eyes and Qin Tan had already led his other members to the 5th floor. Their team had already gone to the 5th floor before and that’s where Chen Shuyang has seen a shop with a yellow amulet on it, so their first target is that shop.

Reaching the 5th floor, they can see that the whole floor is dark and filled with yin aura, but this time Chen Shuyang is not afraid at all. He pasted Yang Gathering amulets on the wall as he walked. The thick black yin aura began to slowly recede.

Wen Lang patted Chen Shuyang’s shoulder with a smile, “That’s great, Shuyang. This time, you can finally hold your head high and maximize the use of your strength. It’s too bad that your talent got buried before this.”

Chen Shuyang grimaced and rubbed his shoulders in pain, “Speak properly and don’t use actions. I’m a technical team member so don’t use force on me.”

Jiang Dong also laughed, “Yes, you are a technical team member, and your identity as the top student is going strong.”

Qin Tan looked around and found nothing unusual. Hearing the conversation, he also turned around to encourage Chen Shuyang, “Shuyang, you should practice hard. Practice makes perfect and you will reap greater benefits in the future.”

Chen Shuyang’s situation is like he has unlocked his skills. Before this, he thought his spirit weapon is weak but who dares to say this to him now. Chen Shuyang felt that his future is limitless. His spirit weapon can be used to deal with supernatural beings. As for physical attacks, he can exchange any weapons from Lazuli as long as they have points.

“I will definitely work hard.” Chen Shuyang scratched his head and added, “I will definitely contribute more to our team in the future.”

Although Chen Shuyang only knows a few spells now, but in the future, in other spiritual mission worlds, he will try to collect more information regarding spells. He will definitely find more spells and learn them for his own use.

Walking along the shop in Chen Shuyang’s memory, they soon saw a yellow amulet on the side wall of a shop. This yellow amulet seems to have been pasted for a long time as the color has faded. The yellow paper has faded to white while the cinnabar on it has lost its dark red luster. Wen Lang stuck his head out and peered in from the side. He could see a person inside with his head down and motionless. After observing for a long time, Wen Lang finally found a cloth bag in the corner. Like the eminent monk said, it should be the glutinous rice.

“Hey, shopkeeper.” Wen Lang called out.

Jiang Dong casually threw a small crystal he had at hand, just hitting the man’s lowered head. The man slowly raised his head. On the face of the middle-aged man, his pair of eyes is almost white, leaving only a little bit of pupil inside, and his complexion is deadly pale.

“Frick, why does this look like the zombies on TV?” Wen Lang widened his eyes, watching the man stand up and walk staggeringly towards them.

Qin Tan with Tang sword in hand, warned his team members, “Finish him right away, he should have been corroded by the yin aura. Be careful.”

The other members responded with acknowledgment. Chen Shuyang stood on the outermost side, ready to sneak in to get the glutinous rice when his team members are dealing with the shopkeeper. Wen Lang held the poker in his hand and took the position as the long-range attacker. Jiang Dong reached out and released the bandage, wrapping it around the shopkeeper. Probably because the man has been swallowed up by yin aura, the owner is very strong. He struggled hard to shake off the bindings, and the bandages seemed to be loosening.

Qin Tan’s figure flashed, and he immediately appeared at the owner’s side. Without hesitation, he swung down with the Tang sword in his hand…

Wen Lang, Jiang Dong, Chen Shuyang: …

Chen Shuyang was going to sneakily get the glutinous rice, but Brother Qin launched an attack, and the zombie shopkeeper instantly got chopped into 2 halves. All right, without saying anything, he stepped directly over the shopkeeper, then bent down and picked up the glutinous rice bag in the corner.

Wen Lang lazily put away his poker and said, “Brother Qin, the rest is left to you. There is no room for us to take action anymore!”

Qin Tan put away his Tang sword and swept his cold eyes towards Wen Lang, “I won’t take any actions after this, I’ll leave it to you three.”

Chen Shuyang took out the spear on his back and held it in his hand, “Okay, leave it to us, Brother Qin.”

Wen Lang wanted to cover Chen Shuyang’s mouth when he opened his mouth, but unfortunately, it didn’t work, the words had already been said. So, Wen Lang can only glare at Chen Shuyang, ‘Why are you talking nonsense?’

Jiang Dong walked over to Wen Lang and kicked him lightly, motioning him to shut up. Then he lifted his chin towards Qin Tan. Wen Lang didn’t dare to lift his head, pretended not to care. He put his hand on Chen Shuyang’s shoulder, acting like they are good brothers.

“Shuyang, you’re right. This kind of trivial matter should be left to us, there’s no need for Brother Qin to take action.”

Jiang Dong almost wanted to kneel by this man’s shameless character. He turned his head and saw Qin Tan half-smiling. So, Jiang Dong lets Wen Lang do whatever he wanted to do. The temperament of the 2 fools in their team is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is not easy to find 8 shops with yellow amulets in such a large shopping mall, but they only spent some time looking for the shops. Fortunately, there is a lot of time, so they don’t need to be in a hurry. As for the zombie-like shopkeepers, Chen Shuyang found that even if he only used a long spear, he could attack as well. So he let go of his inhibitions and attacked. With Qin Tan watching from behind, he is not afraid at all.

…

Lou Fan is feeling bored with his duty and looked at his bow. He can’t understand, why didn’t his spirit weapon upgrade? In that kind of life-and-death situation, Qin Tan instead upgraded the spirit weapon to save him. As the main person in that situation, he almost died under the claws of a ghost but his spirit weapon didn’t even give a fart.

This is unscientific!

Is it because his physique is not as good as Qin Tan’s? Qin Tan did eat the one and only snake essence pill. It is possible that Qin Tan’s physique has improved higher than his. Lou Fan sighed, being behind Qin Tan makes him unhappy. Even though the other party had the closest relationship with him, he still felt unhappy because he is a level lower.

Suddenly, the sound of the master chanting scriptures sounded in the room. Lou Fan turned his head to look over and saw the master kneeling on the praying mat. One of his hands is positioned in front of his chest while the other hand is turning the beads, his eyes closed and his face serene. Obscure Sanskrit scriptures are being chanted, calming Lou Fan’s heart that was still a little anxious just now. He yawned and closed his eyes slowly.

It is dark all around and Lou Fan looked around, a piece of dead silence. Vaguely, there is a light spot in the distance so Lou Fan walked toward that light spot. However, after walking for a long time, the light spot is still so small and he is not getting nearer at all. Feeling a little anxious, Lou Fan accelerated his steps. There seemed to be something binding him in the darkness. He only felt that his hands and feet are bound. Gradually, something wrapped around his body, binding him tightly. Soon, he couldn’t breathe.

“Huff huff huff…”

Lou Fan is breathing heavily, like a fish thrown ashore, about to suffocate. Then, he heard someone reciting something. The whispers went into his ears, and his thoughts that were almost cut off just now gradually became clearer.

When the heart and mind are clear, there is no need to seek for enlightenment.

When the heart and mind are clear, there is no need to seek for enlightenment.

When the heart and mind are clear, there is no need to seek for enlightenment.

In a trance, a sentence got into Lou Fan’s mind, and a sudden burst of light appeared in his mind. It slowly expanded, and the light instantly dispelled the darkness. It is as if he is thrown back into the water again, and his breathing became smoother…

Lou Fan opened his eyes and found out that he is still inside the staff lounge. He turned his head and looked at the master who smiled kindly at him. Then, he felt some heat on the palm of his hand. Looking down, he realized that the bow he held in his hand is emitting an orange-red light.

…

When Chen Changdong and his team members returned with their tired bodies, they saw the bow in Lou Fan’s hand, and the whole team felt terrible. They only went out for a moment so how could this person’s spirit weapon get upgraded suddenly? There’s only Lou Fan and the master in the lounge, and the rest of the junior team are still outside looking for glutinous rice, so how did the spirit weapon gets upgraded?

No matter how one looks at it, it feels unbelievable.

Just as Chen Changdong is about to speak, Qin Tan and the others returned to the staff lounge. When they pushed the door open, Lou Fan turned to look at them with joy.

“What’s wrong with you, Brother Lou? Why is your smile so wretched?” Wen Lang saw Lou Fan’s smile and felt a chill. Chen Shuyang is too tired to speak, so he sat down and gasped for air as he looked at them.

Qin Tan noticed the difference immediately, and asked in surprise, “Your spirit weapon has been upgraded?”

Lou Fan nodded and waved the bow in his hand. It is exuding a warm orange glow, a nice sight to see. “Master was chanting scripture and I had a dream. After that, my bow got upgraded.” He pointed to his bow.

Chen Changdong didn’t know what to say anymore. Such a big thing but it sounded simple like it’s just a dream when Lou Fan said it.

So infuriating!

The other members other than Qin Tan finally reacted at this time. They don’t care about rest anymore and surrounded Lou Fan to look at the bow.

“My God, I worked so hard to kill zombies, but I don’t see mine getting a level up?”

Chen Shuyang also felt wronged as he said, “My arm hurts from attacking with my spear the whole day.”

On the other side, Jiang Dong is a little speechless as well. He probably used his bandage for dozens of meters already. But did he say anything? He didn’t!

Chen Changdong’s team members are feeling even more aggrieved. It wasn’t easy for them to make a living under the evil spirits but they saw nobody getting an upgrade! Only Chen Changdong looked at Lou Fan while thinking in his heart, he didn’t expect that in this junior team, there are someone besides Qin Tan who also improved their physique. He remembered that Lou Fan should be a level lower than Qin Tan. This junior team, what actually happened to them? What mission worlds do they go to and what kind of fateful encounters have they got?

Lou Fan had to appease his teammates and then announced that he will try out his upgraded spirit weapon tomorrow to see what difference it has from the previous bow. Hence, it would be more appropriate to let Chen Shuyang guard the master instead. Qin Tan agreed and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Lou Fan’s spirit weapon being upgraded can be considered a lot of relief. As for the others, It really depends on their fate. A life-or-death moment or an epiphany, not everyone can get it.

These words came from Chen Changdong’s mouth. Of course, Chen Changdong himself knew best that this kind of thing could not be forced. Telling his teammates to sit down and get some rest, he went over to congratulate Lou Fan, and Lou Fan also politely said a few words.

“It’s all thanks to Team leader Chen for imparting the knowledge to us. Otherwise, we may not encounter such an opportunity. Maybe the master’s chanting scriptures will only make me drowsy.”

This is just Lou Fan being polite and Chen Changdong repeatedly said that Lou Fan has this ability himself to start with; quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Since their team has used the Yang Gathering Amulet for today, Chen Changdong planned to ask the master to give them some more. However, this time he didn’t know what is going on. The master turned a deaf ear to his words, just like the first time.

Chen Shuyang is listening on the side. The master is now his master, which he thought so in his heart. He said to Chen Changdong, “Team leader Chen, maybe the master has limited energy. You must know that drawing amulets is also very labor-intensive. How about this? If you don’t mind, I will give you some that I have drawn?”

Since the master didn’t respond to him, Chen Changdong was thinking about the possibility of relying on only the white crystal to the B2 floor to seal the evil spirits when Chen Shuyang gave him a solution. He has forgotten that there is a BUG[1] here called Chen Shuyang.

“It would be great if this little brother could help.”

Chen Changdong’s team also saw how Lou Fan used Chen Shuyang’s Yang Gathering Amulet before. Although the effect is not as good as the master’s amulets, it still had half of the master’s power. It’ll be fine with extra few more amulets.

With a smile, Chen Shuyang tore off several Yang Gathering Amulets he had drawn from his spirit book and handed them to Chen Changdong, “I will charge you only 1,000 points per piece. This is a friendship price. Welcome to visit me again.”

[1] Banana: It means Chen Shuyang has OP powers that is not supposed to happen in normal setting, not that Chen Changdong is scolding him or saying that he is an insect (if it is not obvious enough). I’m not sure if there is an english-equivalent for this word so do tell me if you know.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Liu Xing lost an arm. Bright red blood flowed out from the decapitated part and the arm is on the ground not far away. Liu Xing covered her arm, her face is pale without a tint of blood.

Liu Yue’s expression is full of anxiety. She hurriedly took out the medicinal powder from her bag and sprinkled it on the wound. Then, she took out a bandage and wrapped it around the wound. As for Liu Xing, she is in too much pain to say anything.

Liu Yue: “Team leader, Liu Xing is hurt too badly, I…” She pursed her lips and looked at Chen Changdong with an embarrassed expression.

Chen Changdong looked at Liu Xing and asked, “Liu Xing, can you hold on? If not, let’s go back first.” That’s what he said, but they would lose this opportunity to seal the ghost, as well as the white crystal they specially collected, so it’s not worth it to leave now.

Liu Xing seemed to be sensible all of a sudden. She bit her lip and took a deep breath, her voice weak but firm, “No need, team leader. I can still hold on. You guys go to seal the ghost first, don’t waste time.” After speaking, she looked firmly at Liu Yue.

Liu Yue understood the meaning in Liu Xing’s eyes. Enduring her emotions, she said to Chen Changdong, “Team leader, Liu Xing is right. Let’s seal the evil spirit first.”

It is rare for Liu Xing to be sensible. No matter what, she is a member of his team. Chen Changdong also felt very relieved. He comforted her with a few words and asked her to follow the team closely. They have to be careful, it would be even more dangerous if she is left alone here to rest.

Liu Yue supported Liu Xing and followed behind the team. She asked in a low voice, “Xiao Xing, how are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot?” Her voice is choked, she looked more uncomfortable than Liu Xing who lost an arm. It is her failure to protect Xiao Xing that caused Xiao Xing to suffer.

“Sister, I’m fine.” Liu Xing calmed down and smiled bitterly, “Sister, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your responsibility to protect me. I can’t hide behind you all the time and let you protect me from danger.”

Before, Liu Xing had been reluctant to face the reality and wanted to hide behind her sister, but the world is so dangerous. She could see that Lou Fan is also very powerful, but once caught by the evil spirit, even he lost a chunk of his flesh. If she also met with danger in the future and ended up dragging her sister behind, neither of them would survive in the end.

The team of 5 people moved a lot faster this time. When they found the coffin, they quickly shoved the evil spirit inside. No matter how hard it struggled, Chen Changdong swiftly slapped the sealing amulet and immediately waved everyone to evacuate.

The wound on Liu Xing’s arm is too large and still bleeding. The yang aura in the white crystal has almost dissipated. Even the Yang Gathering Amulet not far away, is looking dim with only a little light left. It is about to be swallowed up by the yin aura. The team didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately ran towards the stairs. Because Liu Xing is injured, Dong Xu carried her on his back and ran to the exit without saying a word.

When they reached the wall where the Yang Gathering Amulet is stuck, the white crystal in their hands stopped glowing like a light bulb that suddenly went out. The Yang Gathering Amulet also went out immediately. The entire B2 floor fell into darkness again, and gusts of chilly wind is roaring from behind.

Back on the 1st floor, the team of 5 people breathed a sigh of relief. The eerie wind just now seemed to want to swallow them all. Their current appearance is a bit sad as they returned to the lounge while supporting Liu Xing.

In the lounge, except for Qin Tan, who is on vigil duty, everyone else is asleep. Hearing the sound, he immediately opened his eyes vigilantly and looked towards the door, only to find that the Level 10 team has returned. Hearing the sound, Wen Lang and Chen Shuyang only changed their sleeping pose and continued to sleep. Jiang Dong, on the other hand, moved his stiff neck and got up to check Lou Fan’s wound. Checking that there is nothing wrong, he went back to the wall which he was leaning on earlier and continued to sleep.

Lou Fan also woke up. He looked at Liu Xing who is being helped in with a deadly pale face. Seeing that she lost an arm, Lou Fan immediately called Jiang Dong. Jiang Dong is a doctor after all. As their teams are getting along pretty well, they couldn’t just watch by the side when someone is suffering from such a terrible wound.

Jiang Dong got up again. He walked to Liu Xing and squatted down. Taking off the bandage that Liu Yue had wrapped up before, he checked the wound and frowned. Suddenly, someone handed a set of simple tools to him. He looked up and saw Liu Yue’s nervous look. Jiang Dong accepted the tools and took out the surgical blade and disinfectant from it. First, he removed the rotten flesh around the wound. The area that got scratched by ghosts is already turning faintly black. Next, he sprayed the area with disinfectant. The disinfectant irritated the wound, causing Liu Xing to exhale in a low voice. But she gritted tightly on her lips, causing bloody teeth marks on her lips.

Liu Yue watched Jiang Dong’s neat and meticulous movements. Her mouth moved, but she didn’t say anything. After Jiang Dong finished cleaning the wound, she handed the medicine in her hand to him and explained the effect of the medicine. She saw Jiang Dong look at the medicine bottle silently for a few seconds and then looked at Lou Fan. However, he didn’t say anything and sprinkled it on Liu Xing’s wound before wrapping it with a bandage.

On the side, Qin Tan heard what Liu Yue said about the effect of the medicine – stopping bleeding and promoting muscle growth. Right now, Lou Fan’s leg has only stopped bleeding. They didn’t bring high-level medicine this time, so it is just a basic medicine and doesn’t have extra functions like muscle growth. At this moment, Qin Tan feels a little regretful that they didn’t exchange for better medicine.

“Team leader Chen, can we discuss something?” Qin Tan asked Chen Changdong.

Chen Changdong looked up at Qin Tan and immediately said, “You can say it.”

“Can you give me a bit of your medicine?” Qin Tan then added, “I will give you points for it and you can double the price.”

A small bottle of this medicine needs 10,000 points to redeem at Lazuli, which is considered expensive in the eyes of ordinary people. But Qin Tan doesn’t care even if the price is tripled or quadrupled.

Chen Changdong is stunned for a moment by the question. Then, he suddenly remembered that Lou Fan is currently injured and he forgot to offer the medicine to them. Though Qin Tan caught an evil ghost for Lou Fan’s sake, but Qin Tan only went there at his request, which is a big help to them. Chen Changdong smiled stiffly and immediately took out the wound medicine. Handed it to Qin Tan, he said, “Don’t say that, Team leader Qin. Please take it to heal Lou Fan’s injury. I was busy dealing with evil spirits earlier and forgot to take it out.”

Qin Tan nodded and took it, thanked him very politely. He didn’t think it is wrong for Chen Changdong to not take out the medicine. After all, medicines are scarce items. For example, this time they prepared too little and were not detailed enough. He handed the medicine to Jiang Dong and said, “Change the medicine for Lou Fan.”

Jiang Dong took the medicine and immediately went to attend to Lou Fan’s wound. The effect of this medicine is indeed much better than what they brought. Jiang Dong regretted that he didn’t study the medicine category well. You get what you pay for.

When the bandage on Lou Fan’s calf is taken off by Jiang Dong, he can see that the blood had stopped long ago, but the wound is still a hole with a large piece of flesh missing, which looked horrible. Jiang Dong cleaned the wound again before applying the medicine. The wound started to recover slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the newly grown flesh inside could be seen clearly. Lou Fan thought in his heart that this medicine is incredible, and Lazuli’s power is sure going against the sky (overpowered). If this medicine is brought back to his world, it is conceivable how much sensation it will cause.

Qin Tan walked over and looked at Lou Fan’s wound. After that, he let Jiang Dong bandage it, and looked directly at Lou Fan, “Have a good rest and don’t think about running around.”

Lou Fan, who is thinking about being able to move freely tomorrow: …

Hey, don’t discriminate against the wounded like that. He will be fine tomorrow morning.

Lou Fan raised his head and looked at Qin Tan, deliberately showing a pitiful look, “Team leader Qin, if I can walk with no problem tomorrow, I can run around everywhere, right? Isn’t the flesh already fully grown now?”

Qin Tan didn’t look at Lou Fan’s expression, and insisted coldly, “No, you have to take another day off, there is no more discussion for this.”

Tsk, acting pitiful doesn’t work. You can’t ask him to perform a live show of acting coquettishly here, right?

After the 2 wounded people are treated, the Level 10 team members went to the side to rest. Everyone is tired from running around all day and exhausted that they fell asleep within 2 minutes. For a while, the staff lounge became quiet at night except for the sound of breathing and occasional snoring.

…

Lou Fan stepped on the ground and jumped on the spot a few times. His calf is back to normal as before, and there is no difference at all. It is impossible to know that his calf has almost turned into a skeleton state yesterday.

Early in the morning, the eminent monk assigned them tasks. They are to go to the shop with the yellow amulet stuck to its wall and pick up a bag of glutinous rice that he had placed in it in advance. This is the prop he will use to deal with the last ghost, the evil ghost king.

“Wait, why is there a ghost king?” Wen Lang said. “The evil ghosts are hard enough to deal with.”

Their task is to protect the monk and prevent the 8th person from falling from the building. But because the eminent monk is going to deal with the evil ghosts, it means that they have to deal with evil ghosts as well. A battle is inevitable. Suddenly, they are told that a ghost king will appear, which is not a good thing to hear.

The eminent monk chanted the Buddha’s name and said, “The last evil ghost, the ghost king is the embodiment of the yin aura of the 7 evil ghosts gathered together. If the 8th person’s sacrifice is obtained, it will eventually become a serious problem. Therefore, we must prevent the 8th person from falling from the building and dying. I figured out that the evil ghost king will definitely act on the night of the lunar eclipse so everyone must be vigilant.”

After the monk said this, everyone understood that if all 7 evil ghosts are sealed, the evil ghost king would appear. And if they don’t manage to seal the 7 ghosts, they will face the 8th evil ghost together. The level 10 team will have to try to seal all 8 ghosts at the same time too[1]. This sounds like an impossible task. It is better to seal all 7 ghosts and then 2 teams work together to deal with the evil ghost king, then there is a chance for them to win.

The next day, Qin Tan did not allow Lou Fan to participate in the operation and asked him to guard the eminent monk, intending to take Chen Shuyang out instead.

“Isn’t Shuyang going to learn spells from the master? I’m still waiting for the time when we return to Lazuli to sell them for points.” Lou Fan asked.

Hearing that, Chen Shuyang looked frustrated and aggrieved, “The master said that he has already taught me everything he can teach, and asked me to practice drawing these 5 types of spells. No matter what I say, he will not teach me any more.”

Qin Tan: “This should be Lazuli’s rule. It won’t make Shuyang’s spirit weapon too powerful so there is a restriction.”

Lou Fan is helpless. This simply cut off his back path and prevented him from following the team’s task today. Looking at the 4 pairs of eyes giving him a look of disapproval, Lou Fan could only compromise. He waved his hand, “Don’t look at me like that. You guys go ahead and I’ll be the master’s bodyguard today.” After a pause, he instructed, “Be careful and take care of Shuyang. He is my treasure.”

Chen-Treasure-Shuyang turned to look at Qin Tan nervously, giving him a look that says, ‘Team leader, he is talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously!’

Qin Tan glared at Lou Fan and went out with the other team members. When he walked to the door, he turned back and said, “Watch the master properly, and you should rest well. It’s best not to go out of this door.”

Those eyes looked a little cold, and Lou Fan could probably see what it meant – If you dared to go out and run around, I’ll deal with you after I come back.

Lou Fan squinted at Qin Tan’s back as he walked out. He had a feeling that Qin Tan has become a little different after he got injured yesterday. Lou Fan felt a little weak at the knee from Qin Tan’s gaze

[1] Banana: Re-read it a few times because the author sounded like he/she is rambling. Banana figured that the entire paragraph is written to get more money from the word count. ==

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

What shocked the Level 10 team is that Qin Tan’s spirit weapon got upgraded. Chen Changdong thought about it for a while and figured it out. No wonder when he said that one’s physique had to improve first, he felt that their expressions looked a bit wrong. So it is because of this. To have improved his physique just at Level 5, and now his spirit weapon has also been upgraded. This person’s potential is too high.

The other members of the Level 10 team are also surprised at one thing. Before this when they dealt with the evil spirits, their team leader’s fishing line is broken, and Ma Ming died. But Qin Tan wasn’t injured at all, and he also dealt with the evil spirit. Lou Fan’s injury looked serious, but to them, as long as it isn’t fatal, it is considered a minor injury. Therefore, there is also a distinction between spirit weapons.

On the other side, this ‘lightly injured patient’ in their eyes now seems to have suffered a fatal injury. Surrounded by the rest of his team members, they keep asking if he is alright and medicines are sprinkled on his leg like it’s free.

This is the first time Wen Lang saw Lou Fan getting such a serious injury. His hands and feet turned stiff, and he didn’t know where to start to help. Jiang Dong pushed him aside so Wen Lang only squatted down pitifully at the side, frowning.

After applying the medicine to his leg, Lou Fan felt much better. Looking at Wen Lang’s acting like a ‘pitiful young daughter-in-law’, he teased him, “Wen Lang, don’t cry. Otherwise, people will think that I wronged you. Then, I won’t be able to explain myself.”

Wen Lang stared at Lou Fan more resentfully, “Brother Lou, who am I worried for? You still tease me?”

The hand bandaging Lou Fan’s wound suddenly exerted force and Lou Fan hissed. Jiang Dong expressionlessly said, “Your leg is still injured, how do you plan to wrong anyone? Already got caught by the evil spirit but still, you are not being careful. If Qin Tan hadn’t come in to find you, can you make it out alive? Fortunately, I am a surgeon. In case you are not careful next time, like breaking a leg or something, I can help you too.”

Lou Fan bared his teeth. Those who didn’t know will think that Jiang Dong is helping Wen Lang to take revenge. Can you hear that scolding? Lou Fan sighed, “It’s not my fault. No matter how light my body feels or how fast I run, my spirit arrow is not powerful enough. It can’t hurt the evil spirit, what can I do?”

Lou Fan felt wronged too! He almost thought he couldn’t come out alive. Also, he didn’t dare to say that the reason why he almost got caught in the trap is because he saw Qin Tan.

Jiang Dong pursed his lips and didn’t speak anymore. It’s really hard to say about spirit weapons. He can’t simply say that it’ll be fine when his spirit weapon got upgraded. Who knows when they will be upgraded?

Qin Tan, who is squatting beside Lou Fan, squeezed his hand and said, “Don’t worry, there will always be a way to upgrade. We can try other methods.”

This time, Qin Tan got lucky and managed to arrive in time. Next time they are forced to separate, what would they do if the other person is in danger? Hence, the first important thing is to find a way to upgrade their spirit weapon.

Wen Lang nodded and agreed. Even Lou Fan met with such a dangerous opponent, Wen Lang himself is not as powerful as Lou Fan. So he has to hurry up and find a way to upgrade. There will always be times when he is alone and can only rely on himself.

The time is late so the team wanted to downstairs first. When Chen Changdong walked up to Qin Tan, he saw Qin Tan carrying Lou Fan on his back. Then he said in a negotiating tone, “Team leader Qin, I wonder if you can go to the B2 floor with us? You don’t need to do anything. We just hope that you can help out in case something happens. If nothing happens, you can consider it as accompanying us for a walk. Don’t worry, we can pay in points.” Chen Changdong doesn’t sound confident when he said that.

But Qin Tan answered coldly, “We have a wounded member in our team, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany Team leader Chen on this trip. You have the master’s amulet and the white crystal in your hands, so you should be fine.”

Their team is a Level 10 team, so it’s impossible that they don’t have any life-saving items in their hands.

Since Qin Tan refused firmly, Chen Changdong couldn’t say anything else. They are already a Level 10 team. If they insisted on a Level 5 passenger[1] to help, then it would be a shame on their team.

When the group is back on the 1st floor, the evil spirit entangled in the fishing line began to struggle violently. Fortunately, the fishing line is strong enough. Without further delay, Chen Changdong took out a stick of incense from his bag and it looked very ordinary. After lighting it, he swished by in front of the evil spirits. The evil spirits who were struggling just now suddenly stopped moving. Chen Changdong handed the incense to Liu Yue and instructed her to take it. The smoke wafting from the incense formed a thin line in the air, and evil ghosts lined up. They walked a few steps in front of Liu Yue along the thin line and stopped.

Lou Fan stared at the other team’s equipment, which looked much better than the ghost whip in his hand. Other people’s items can do group attacks, while his item can only do a single attack. The difference is just that big. Lou Fan glanced at his injured leg. If he is not injured, he could help out with the Level 10 team. Maybe, he could trick 2 sticks of this incense from them, then that would be great. Unfortunately, he is now an injured person!

How irritating!

When Chen Changdong is ready, he took his team members and said goodbye to the junior team. After that, the group of 5 people went to the B2 floor.

When Lou Fan is carried into the lounge by Qin Tan, Chen Shuyang got stunned for a moment. Next, he immediately jumped up and asked, “Brother Lou, what’s the matter with you?” He looked down and saw a layer of gauze wrapped around Lou Fan’s feet. Quickly, he helped Lou Fan down from Qin Tan and supported him to sit down.

Seeing the anxious look on Chen Shuyang’s face, Lou Fan is about to speak when Wen Lang opened his mouth and started talking about what he knew. Of course, he could only briefly tell the others about what happened to Lou Fan, but he could also feel the danger from that.

Lou Fan accepted the glass of water from Qin Tan and listened to Wen Lang’s story as if it is someone else’s story. He heard it with gusto and wished he had a plate of melon seeds so he could eat while listening.

After listening to Wen Lang’s words, Chen Shuyang blamed himself, “If only I could draw more spells with other effects, then maybe Brother Lou won’t be hurt. That’s the least I can do to help a little bit.”

Lou Fan stopped Chen Shuyang immediately, “Don’t blame yourself. How can you put everything on yourself? Your Yang Gathering Amulet has helped a lot, but you’re right about continuing the lesson. Learn a little bit more, we give our full support for that. You are a man who is going to be our money tree. Go and learn a few more amulets, it is best if you could learn all of them. In this way, we will not be so worried about you when we go to other spiritual mission worlds in the future.”

Chen Shuyang pondered for a while, then clenched his fists. He assured, “Don’t worry, Brother Lou. I will definitely learn more, and try to learn everything that the masters know. Even if I can’t learn it, I will bring some materials back to study for myself.”

Lou Fan nodded quickly and agreed.

…

With the Yang Gathering Amulet and the white crystal given by the master, the Level 10 team felt a lot more confident. Walking down the stairs to the B2 floor, Chen Changdong put the Yang Gathering Amulet in his hand and prepared to stick it at the entrance later, so as not to get lost on the B2 floor. The white crystal is held in his hand to block the yin aura. He also had a Bagua mirror in his hand, and he gave it to Liu Yue to hold. She is carrying the incense so if the evil spirits break away, she would be the first to be injured.

Liu Yue took the Bagua mirror and held it in her hand, pursing her lips.

Chen Changdong whispered a few words of reminder before taking a deep breath. Then, he led the team into the B2 floor again. He turned around and stuck the Yang Gathering Amulet on the wall, and the white crystal in his hand gradually shone with a little white light. The overhead light slowly changed from a dim light spot to a normal lighting brightness. Then, the entire B2 floor appeared dimly in front of them.

Walking at the back, Liu Yue gently pulled Liu Xing’s hand and stuck the Bagua mirror into her palm. Seeing that Liu Xing turned her head to see her and is about to speak, Liu Yue pushed her lightly and raised a finger to her lips to signal Liu Xing to keep quiet.

Liu Xing fixed a glance at her older sister and squeezed the mirror in her hand tightly. Then she paused at her steps and waited for her sister to catch up before walking again.

Though the yin aura of the B2 floor has been dissipated, the light is still not very good. Not sure if it is the standard configuration of the haunted atmosphere or something else, the lights are too dim. They flicker from time to time, fitting the horror atmosphere just right.

Liu Xing held her breath. Even her feet are soft, but she doesn’t dare to make a sound. This time, she didn’t dare to reach out and grab anyone’s hands for fear that if she caught something strange again. Then she would frighten herself to death first. Though she had experienced several supernatural worlds, this kind of shock still challenges her psychological endurance.

The space on the B2 floor is very large. Chen Changdong could only choose one direction to go. Thinking that there are 8 coffins placed on this floor, they are bound to meet one no matter which direction.

The yin aura is too heavy, and the strands of yang aura stored in the white crystal are dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chen Changdong got a little anxious for a while. They must settle this as soon as possible, and he cannot lose any more team members.

Not far away, they saw a rectangular-shaped thing. Chen Changdong is overjoyed because they found a coffin. He raised his hand to signal the others then immediately accelerated his pace and walked over there. Afraid of unexpected situations happening, Chen Changdong slowed down as he approached the coffin, his actions cautious. The coffin is closed so Chen Changdong beckoned Yuan Jin and Dong Xu to come and help. The two stood on the edge of the coffin and nodded to Chen Changdong to indicate that they are ready. Chen Changdong silently counted and raised his fingers.

1, 2, 3!

The lid of the coffin fell to the ground with a bang but Chen Changdong didn’t even look at it. He is staring at the inside of the coffin. It is empty and there is nothing inside. Chen Changdong breathed a sigh of relief and took the incense from Liu Yue. With the item, he directed one of the evil spirits into the coffin. Just as he is about to ask Yuan Jin and Dong Xu to close the lid, the evil ghost that has returned to the coffin suddenly opened its eyes. Its scarlet eyes seemed to be dripping with blood in the darkness.

Yuan Jin and Dong Xu’s hands trembled and almost couldn’t hold the lid properly. After they realized that the ghost is breaking away, they immediately wanted to put the lid on the coffin but the evil spirit struggled fiercely. Seeing that it is about to break free from the fishing line in the next second, Chen Changdong pounced on the coffin lid and held it down. After that, he took out the sealing amulet from his pocket and slapped it down.

The coffin is sealed tight as if it is nailed down with a nail. The evil spirit struggled inside, but couldn’t shake it open at all. After a while, there is no movement inside. The 5 people nervously breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Xu tapped the coffin lid with a smile, “It’s useless to struggle, don’t waste your energy.”

Yuan Jin wiped away the sweat on his forehead and spat at Dong Xu, “Whose face turned white from fright just now?”

Dong Xu snorted and turned his head to look at Liu Xing, who is laughing softly. He suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, “Liu Xing, get out of the way!”

Hearing that, Liu Yue responded quickly. She grabbed Liu Xing and they squatted down. Next, she slashed out with a wave of her folding fan. Liu Xing also reacted. She happened to see the evil ghost behind her half-breaking away from the fishing line. Its claws wrapped in yin aura are about to catch Liu Yue. She bit her lip, took out the Bagua mirror, and blocked it in front of Liu Yue.

The ghostly claw slashed at her arm, and a scream burst out from her mouth.

“AHH!”

Chen Changdong immediately threw out his fishing line. While the evil spirit is stunned by the Bagua mirror, he quickly tied the evil spirit around. This is the evil ghost he caught before. The evil ghost that Qin Tan knocked down has been sealed in the coffin earlier.

[1] This is the first time I see the author addressed the people in Lazuli. So they are ‘passengers’ lol.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Since their target has appeared, everyone puts away their laughter and immediately picks up their spirit weapon. As an archer, Lou Fan is a good player in long-range attacks. He picked up his bow without blinking and shot the spiritual arrows one after another. The arrows flew into the dark and got engulfed, one doesn’t know if it hits anything or not.

The Level 10 team watched from the side, thinking that Lou Fan would stop shooting soon. After all, there are restrictions on spirit weapons’ usage. No matter how many spiritual arrows he has, he can’t keep shooting out like this. His actions just now were as fierce as a tiger, and he already shot dozens of the spiritual arrows. However, Lou Fan didn’t mean to stop at all. He simply changed direction and continued to shoot, shifting to left and right.

Liu Yue is a little worried. As Wen Lang is just half a step ahead of her, thinking that the junior team seemed nice to talk with, Liu Yue asked, “Will it be too wasteful for Mr. Lou to use his spiritual arrow like this?”

No matter how many spiritual arrows there are, it can’t stand letting Lou Fan shoot unlimited like this. Long-range attack weapons are very useful weapons, but unlike their melee weapons, which can be used casually, arrows are consumable items.

Hearing the question, Wen Lang answered in a nonchalant tone, “Brother Lou’s spiritual arrows are unlimited, he can shoot at will.”

Wen Lang only said it lightly, but he didn’t know that everyone in the Level 10 team heard it. Next, everyone’s gaze at Lou Fan changed.

What is the concept of unlimited spiritual arrows? It is equivalent to people taking a red potion to recover blood while he is shooting arrows. Then, people are taking a blue potion to recover mana but he is still shooting arrows. When people are meditating to recover blood, he hasn’t stopped shooting arrows…[1]

This ability is a bit overpowered, how can a spirit weapon be like this? They are all at level 10 and yet, they have never heard of such ability before. Moreover, this junior team doesn’t only have this abnormal person, there is also another one who can use a ballpoint pen[2] to draw amulets on his spirit weapon book which actually works. Where can they seniors put their faces?!

Probably from being shot too many times by Lou Fan’s spiritual arrows, the black mass got separated from the darkness again. This time, the Level 10 team immediately picked up their weapons and swarmed the black mass, not letting it run away again.

But can the evil spirit be so easy to catch?

Yuan Jin and Dong Xu rushed to the front but they got injured by the evil spirit not long after, and their bodies are covered in wounds. Wen Lang and Jiang Dong immediately caught up, but they are both long-range players so they couldn’t get too close. Liu Yue and Liu Xing are girls after all, and their weapons are not that powerful. Still, they persisted in attacking in front, with little success, however. After that, with Qin Tan joined in, it immediately relieved their pressure. Qin Tan’s strength is strong, and he can injure the black mass with every slash. It can be seen that the recovery of the slash is getting slower and slower.

At the back, Lou Fan shoots arrows at every turn. He has his back to the corridor, which is as black as thick ink behind him. All of a sudden, Lou Fan felt a breath of coolness behind him. He is about to turn around immediately, but the black mist instantly wrapped him and pulled him inward. Lou Fan immediately took out the radish flower from his trouser pocket and shredded it, but it is useless! A grip at his shoulder gave him so much pain but he endured it and he shot backward with a backhand motion. Spiritual arrows didn’t need much force to be shot so Lou Fan gritted his teeth and shot an arrow. His shoulders loosened, and when he turned around, Lou Fan couldn’t see anyone around anymore. It is pitch black all around.

Without a wall to stick on, Lou Fan took out Chen Shuyang’s amulet from his pocket and patted it on his backpack instead. A faint light lit up but the diameter of the lighted area is only about 2 meters. Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he felt a little headache about how to return to the other members.

…

Seeing that Lou Fan got dragged away, Qin Tan turned around and chased after him. The black mist instantly surrounded Lou Fan. When Qin Tan reached out, he caught nothing. So, he lifted his footsteps and immediately caught up, walking into the darkness.

“Team leader Qin!” Chen Changdong shouted, but he is unable to stop Qin Tan’s footsteps. He knew how powerful the black fog is. Before that, Ma Ming didn’t even have the time to struggle and already died tragically.

“Brother Lou, Brother Qin!” Wen Lang shouted but neither of them can be seen anymore. He turned his head to look at Jiang Dong instead. Jiang Dong frowned as he said, “Take care of the evil spirits first, it’s useless for us to go in.”

Wen Lang is a little indecisive now, so he nodded at Jiang Dong’s words, a poker flew out of his hand. Jiang Dong’s hand didn’t stop either, the bandages wrapped around the evil ghost almost making it into a mummy.

Trapping the evil spirit, Chen Changdong immediately rolled back the fishing line. To be safe, he used the fishing line to circle the evil spirit a few times. An intermediate spirit weapon is different from a primary spirit weapon. The moment his fishing line entangled around the evil spirit, it is immediately tied up and unable to move.

The remaining 7 people turned to look into the depths of the darkness.

…

Qin Tan walked into the darkness but he could not see anything around him, only his Tang sword is emitting a white layer of light. However, he is very calm, and shouted as he walked, “Lou Fan, Lou Fan! Where are you?”

Qin Tan’s voice is loud, but he didn’t hear the slightest response, as if he is the only one left in this space. Slashing in the air with his Tang sword, he could even feel the sensation of the black mist being split open. Slashing out tirelessly, Qin Tan chopped as he walked forward persistently.

…

Lou Fan moved forward, and suddenly he heard someone calling him. He turned his head but saw nothing. When he turned back again, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared just before the tip of his nose, startling him. Lou Fan is about to shoot an arrow when the pair of eyes retracted into the darkness.

Frick, what the hell was that?! A ghost that is out to scare people?

After taking a few steps forward again, Lou Fan suddenly saw a figure in the distance facing away from him. That familiar figure, who else if not Qin Tan? Lou Fan immediately became happy and ran forward, shouting, “Qin Tan, I’m here!”

But when Lou Fan is reaching the figure, he suddenly slowed down and shot an arrow tentatively. Anyway, if it is really Qin Tan, the spiritual arrow would not be able to hit anything. That moment when the spiritual arrow shot into the back of that figure, there seemed to be a low growl in Lou Fan’s ear. The figure turned around, and Lou Fan suddenly shouted curses in his heart!

That’s not Qin Tan, it is clearly the man who fell and died messily previously!

Lou Fan immediately stepped back, but the coldness behind him made him feel that things are turning bad. There’s something behind while a ghastly deceased is approaching him at the front. Without hesitation, Lou Fan immediately tore up the immobilizing amulet he had prepared in his hand.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze. Lou Fan immediately stepped forward and glanced at the immobilized evil spirit behind him. He picked up his bow and kept shooting spiritual arrows at it. Feeling that he almost shot enough, Lou Fan immediately fled the scene.

A minute passed quickly, and Lou Fan didn’t know where he ran to again. The light from the Yang Gathering Amulet on his backpack is already very weak, and it seemed that it would go out in the next second. With no more immobilizing amulet in his hand, Lou Fan had to keep on high alert. At this moment, he is praying that Chen Shuyang would learn more spells, the more ghost-repelling ones the better. In this kind of close encounter with ghosts, having those weapons is convenient to kill any ghosts encountered.

On the other hand, it seems that the evil ghost has stopped going around in circles with Lou Fan anymore. A chilly breeze blew over and Lou Fan turned sideways, shooting the arrows. The lethality of his spirit arrows is not high, the advantage is that they are large in number. However, restricted by manpower, Lou Fan can’t shoot multiple spirit arrows at one time. Hence, their lethality to evil spirits is too small.

Seeing the evil ghost with a bloody mouth coming towards him with murderous scarlet eyes, Lou Fan immediately rolled down. But the evil ghost moved quickly and managed to grab his ankle,  causing his entire calf to be a bloody mess. A chunk of flesh and blood is separated from his leg bone, where the white bones under the flesh could be seen clearly.

“ARRGH!” Lou Fan exclaimed in pain, unable to hold the bow in his hand.

Without stopping for a moment, the evil ghost’s claws swiftly stretched out and are about to pierce into Lou Fan’s chest.

At that moment, Lou Fan thought to himself, even if he is dead, at the very least, Qin Tan must get out of this world.

All of a sudden, the thick blackness in front of Lou Fan is cut by a stream of air. He turned his head and saw Qin Tan’s galloping figure in his blurred vision.

“Lou Fan!” Qin Tan roared and rushed over, glaring angrily. He wished he could run faster. Seeing that he is getting closer but the evil ghost’s claws are about to pierce Lou Fan, Qin Tan also tore his immobilizing amulet.

The ghost claw is only 1 centimeter away from Lou Fan’s chest. Lou Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he fainted from the pain in his leg.

Qin Tan pulled the man out of the demon’s claws and helped him aside. Lou Fan is horribly wounded, this is the worst injury he’s ever had. At this moment, Qin Tan only regretted that he let Lou Fan follow him tonight. He took out the wound medicine prepared by Jiang Dong and poured it on Lou Fan. But Lou Fan’s calf is quite badly injured so Qin Tan didn’t dare to touch it at all. Fortunately, Lou Fan only passed out and nothing else.

When the effect of the immobilizing amulet has passed, the evil ghost resumed its movements. It is very annoyed by the repeated misses and the surrounding wind gusted wildly towards the 2 men.

Qin Tan almost lost Lou Fan so he is feeling extremely displeased at the moment. His movements are hard and fast as he fought with the evil spirit. The evil spirit is ferocious and yet, Qin Tan’s fight became smoother and smoother. There is an indescribable feeling in him, Qin Tan felt that he could even see the movements of the evil spirit clearly. The ruthlessness increased in Qin Tan’s heart. He just wanted to get rid of the evil spirit as soon as possible and help Lou Fan to apply medicine. His movement became faster and faster, almost only his afterimage can be seen. The next moment, a snapping noise sounded in the air, as if a bubble had burst. The Tang sword in Qin Tan’s hand is like red-hot iron, emitting an orange-red light.

…

Qin Tan walked out of the corridor with Lou Fan in his arms, the blackness around him gradually faded away, revealing 2 figures.

Jiang Dong’s eyes widened and he immediately went to Qin Tan. Lou Fan’s condition is very bad. He wanted to carry Lou Fan from Qin Tan’s arms, but Qin Tan didn’t let go. He carried Lou Fan to the circular corridor and put him down on a clean place.

Taking a glance at Lou Fan, Wen Lang squatted down and asked Jiang Dong, “How is it, is brother Lou alright?” A large piece of flesh is torn off from his calf, and his whole calf is in terrible condition.

Chen Changdong glanced at Qin Tan who is showing a sullen face but unconsciously looked at the Tang sword behind him. The Tang sword, which looked ordinary just now, now exudes an orange light that can’t be ignored, just like his fishing rod.

The other members of the Level 10 team looked shocked with widened eyes. Dong Xu leaned into Chen Changdong’s ear and exclaimed in surprise, “Team leader, his spirit weapon has been upgraded!”

Anyone can see that if they are not blind. But they really did not expect that Qin Tan who is only level 5, has already improved his physique. Even Chen Changdong, he only got the opportunity to improve his physique when he was at level 8. It can only be said that Qin Tan is truly lucky.

Watching as Jiang Dong treat Lou Fan’s wound, Qin Tan saw Lou Fan frown. When Jiang Dong sprinkled the medicinal powder, Lou Fan’s brows moved again. Qin Tan’s lips moved. He wanted to tell Jiang Dong to move lighter, but he pursed his lips and said nothing in the end. However, his expression turned uglier as time passes, and his eyes are full of distress.

Knowing that Lou Fan’s life is not in danger anymore, Qin Tan forced himself to turn his head away. Then he said to Chen Changdong, “The evil spirit is inside but there is no more danger. You can go in and clean it up.”

Chen Changdong stared at Qin Tan in astonishment, as if he didn’t understand what he means. After a long while, he came back to his senses. Calling his team members who have yet to come to their senses, they rushed into the hallway.

in the hallway, the evil spirit shrouded in darkness lay on the ground and Ma Ming’s corpse is there next to it. Chen Changdong released a section of fishing line to entangle the evil spirit, but facing the dead body of his teammate, he didn’t know what to do with it.

2 evil ghosts are caught in 1 night. Chen Changdong’s team planned to seal them soon to prevent any possible mishaps.

The author has something to say:

Lou Fan: Biology mom (authors that are supposed to be nice to their main characters), you make me lose a big chunk of flesh, won’t your conscience hurt?
Author: Of course it won’t hurt, because I have no conscience.
Qin Tan: Oh, you have no conscience? (sharpening knife)
Author: … If you threaten me again, you won’t have a wife anymore.

[1] Banana: I don’t understand what kind of example the author is trying to convey lol. But it should just an exaggeration that Lou Fan can shoot until the end of time and there will still arrows available to shoot.

[2] Apparently, the keyword 中性笔 is actually ballpoint pen, according to google translate. Previously, Banana wrote it as neutral stroke because I thought it’s how the amulets were drawn lol. Anyway, it will be changed to ballpoint pen in the future chapters.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Seeing that the sun is about to go down, Chen Changdong didn’t bother to look around anymore and went back with a few crystals that looked like white crystals. Lou Fan and the others are already waiting there. When Lou Fan saw the crystals in Chen Changdong’s hand, he shook his head.

“Team leader Chen, you got the wrong crystals.”

Chen Changdong also knew that it is wrong but he already tried his best. “I only found these.”

Chen Changdong had given up hope and planned to continue looking for it tomorrow. Then, Lou Fan flipped his palm and took out a transparent crystal the size of an egg, with only a white mist-like color in it.

“I found one, take it.”

Chen Changdong took the crystal and looked at it for a long time. He found that this crystal is fundamentally different from the crystals found by his team. He put it away silently and said to Lou Fan, “Thanks.”

He owed Lou Fan another favor again; getting used to owing him favors.

Lou Fan waved his hand, “Quickly take it to the sun, the sun will go down soon.”

Chen Changdong nodded, left the twins behind, and took the other two team members out to bask in the sun. Liu Xing is very tired so she pulled her sister to the staff lounge. After entering, she found a stool and sat down.

On the other side, after listening to what Chen Shuyang said, Jiang Dong didn’t know what kind of expression he should show. Wen Lang simply exclaimed out loud, “My god! Shuyang, your spirit weapon is too awesome! Have you finally found the correct way to use it?”

Lou Fan and Qin Tan walked in at this moment and heard Wen Lang making loud noises. Qin Tan frowned, “Speak properly, why are you shouting?”

Wen Lang couldn’t calm down at all. Another lucky guy has appeared on the team, how could he calm down?!

“Brother Qin! You don’t know how awesome Shuyang is. Copying scriptures into his book is nothing. He can draw amulets in his book! The type that can be used and doesn’t need to use cinnabar and yellow papers!!”

People who have been in contact with superstition to some extent will know a little bit of this knowledge. But even if they don’t, information like this can be found in the movies. The yellow amulet is a piece of yellow paper on which one uses red cinnabar to draw random patterns on it. Then, it becomes an amulet. In ancient times, talismans were sold at high prices.

“Shuyang can draw amulets in his book?” Lou Fan didn’t understand and repeated the sentence.

Before Chen Shuyang could explain, Wen Lang immediately poured everything he heard out. Even the twins next to him heard it clearly, with surprise in their eyes. They haven’t heard of this kind of spirit weapon before.

After listening to Wen Lang’s words, Lou Fan showed a happy elderly expression and patted Chen Shuyang on the shoulder, “Shuyang, keep working hard and draw more. You will have to take on the important responsibilities of the team in the future!”

Chen Shuyang nodded immediately.

Qin Tan silently restrained his smile at the side.

Jiang Dong rolled his eyes helplessly. Everyone in this team is not normal, it is really hard for him (as the only normal person).

Lou Fan then asked again, “How many spells have you learned?”

As soon as Lou Fan said these words, he felt like he is asking Chen Shuyang how many words did he learn today (like how a father asked his child about his studies)?

Chen Shuyang looked guilty, “Only one, the others are a bit complicated and haven’t learned yet.”

Lou Fan simply oh-ed and said, “Then, keep learning.”

Liu Xing and Liu Yue: …

…

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the white crystal. As if white gas is poured into it, the white smoke slowly filled the crystal and gradually turned it into a milky white crystal, which the tone is slightly thinner than pure white. It is not until the sun sank into the ground and the sky began to darken that Chen Changdong brought Yuan Jin and Dong Xu back to the staff lounge.

After reuniting with the twins, Chen Changdong felt that their expressions are a bit strange, and the gaze they looked at Lou Fan’s team is even stranger. But they are in front of other people so Chen Changdong didn’t ask. He just sat down in the empty seat and started eating to replenish his strength.

It is almost 7.00 pm and Chen Changdong planned to take a rest before going upstairs to try his luck. If he could find an evil spirit, he would capture it first. Otherwise, once it is nighttime, he is afraid that their team would be trapped again. As for going down to the B2 floor, it’s the same darkness whether day or night anyway, there’s no difference.

Glancing at the white crystal in his hand, Chen Changdong paused. Then he raised his head and called Qin Tan. “Team leader Qin, you want to know how to upgrade the spirit weapon, right? Let me tell you roughly about it first.” He doesn’t like to owe favors, and he owes more and more this time.

Lou Fan immediately moved the small bench and sat in front of Chen Changdong with a look of listening intently. Behind him stood Qin Tan and the other three. Everyone is curious and looking forward to knowing how to upgrade the spirit weapon.

Facing 5 pairs of curious eyes, Chen Changdong coughed uncomfortably. It is because their gazes are too intense that he couldn’t stand them, causing goosebumps all over his body.

“Actually, the upgrade of a spirit weapon is related to physical fitness. The second condition is an opportunity (fortunate encounter). When your body improves and can withstand the power of an intermediate spirit weapon, that means you are ready to upgrade your spirit weapon, which is a necessary condition. As for the opportunity, this is hard to say. Everyone’s opportunity is different. As far as I know, some upgraded their weapon during an emergency because they wanted to help their companion, while some upgraded when they themselves are in danger. Some simply have an epiphany… In short, an opportunity is a rare occurrence.”

All Chen Changdong can say is just 2 or 3 sentences, but he knew that it is not so easy to upgrade the spirit weapon. Like him, he already upgraded but his team has yet to produce a second intermediate spirit weapon. This is an example of the rareness. He paused for a while and then said, “The improvement of physique actually depends on luck, because it is not always possible to find something to improve our physique in the mission world. So far, only three of us have improved our physique.”

If one doesn’t improve their physique, they can’t upgrade their spirit weapon. The threshold is high enough.

Lou Fan exchanged glances with his teammates, tacitly knowing that everyone on the team have improved their physique. They have nothing to be afraid of.

After Chen Changdong finished speaking, he stood up and took his fishing rod. Then he called his teammates, preparing to go upstairs to hunt ghosts. He checked his fishing rod to make sure it is intact. After reminding a few more words, he is ready to leave.

“Team leader Chen, do you mind if I go with you?” Qin Tan asked before they went out.

Everyone looked at Qin Tan, even Lou Fan didn’t know what he is planning to do.

Chen Changdong also looked at Qin Tan, “Team leader Qin, are you sure you want to go with us?”

Qin Tan actually didn’t plan to do anything at first. But he thought Chen Changdong is a good person, and he told them about the upgrade of the spirit weapon. Secondly, he wanted to know how powerful the evil spirit is. It is his habit to always plan ahead and get a good understanding of the enemy.

Qin Tan’s eyes are firm, showing his intention so Chen Changdong could not refuse.

“I’ll go too.” Lou Fan walked over to Qin Tan, “I don’t feel at ease about you going alone, I’ll go with you.”

Wen Lang, Jiang Dong, and Chen Shuyang immediately echoed, “I’ll go too.”

Qin Tan looked at his team helplessly. They are like a dog skin plaster (super sticky), and he couldn’t shake them off.

The ghost-hunting team suddenly grew bigger. Although Chen Changdong didn’t understand why the junior team wanted to follow them to do the task, he is very welcoming of this change inside. No one will think that there are too many people. With more people, they will be more confident.

The team left, leaving Chen Shuyang to look after the eminent monk and protect their mission target. Before leaving, Chen Shuyang gave Lou Fan and his team members all the Yang Gathering Amulet that he drew.

“Although it may not be super useful, take them just in case. The master also said that it is effective so you can try to use it. If they don’t work, you can return them to me. Otherwise, just treat it as bringing me along with you.”

Hearing that, Wen Lang rolled his eyes. He bared his teeth and tried to pinch Chen Shuyang, but Chen Shuyang avoided him.

…

Lou Fan and his team have been on the 4th and 5th floors before. Although they got attacked by some ghosts before, the condition of the floors was not the same as they are now. The entire 4th floor looked dead and dark. It is pitch black without lights and they can only see the people around them with a little light from themselves.

Qin Tan reminded everyone to be careful and try to take care of the people around them. It would be better if they hold hands so as not to get separated. Immediately after saying that, he grabbed Lou Fan’s hand.

Wen Lang didn’t listen to the advice as he doesn’t plan to hold hands with Jiang Dong. Just the thought of it gave him goosebumps. However, his hand is grabbed and Jiang Dong’s hand held his tightly.

“Hey, aren’t you disgusted by this? We are 2 adult men holding hands…” Wen Lang couldn’t go on.

However, Jiang Dong simply grabbed Wen Lang’s hand and tugged, “Don’t talk, don’t you know there are ghosts here?”

Wen Lang: … Can’t talk if there are ghosts around? Fine, I’ll let you have the final say.

Wen Lang shifted his hand awkwardly but didn’t pull it out.

Chen Changdong had the master’s Yang Gathering Amulet and a white crystal in his hand, but these items are reserved for the B2 floor, where the yin aura is heavier. Without these 2 things, it would be impossible for them to move even an inch forward. Relatively speaking, they can still see things on the 4th floor so they’ll make do with it.

Their flashlights are really not very useful here. Lou Fan took out the simple version of the Yang Gathering Amulet given by Chen Shuyang and stuck it on the wall. He thought that it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work but he found that the black smoke within a 5-meter radius had dissipated, and the plaza’s light above his head lighted up.

“Shuyang, you are awesome. This amulet really works.” Lou Fan muttered, feeling very relieved.

Wen Lang snapped his fingers, “Shuyang has finally found his path. He should follow the master and convert to Buddhism, it suits him.”

Lou Fan: “Don’t, Shuyang’s parents are still waiting for him to give them a grandson. Don’t come up with bad ideas.”

The Level 10 team didn’t expect the junior team’s amulet to work which was drawn with neutral strokes, and they are all a little surprised.

Liu Xing clicked her tongue twice, “You guys are so lucky. Imagine how many points can you sell it in Lazuli.” These words simply pointed out a way for Lou Fan to make a fortune.

Lou Fan: !!!!

That’s right! This is simply a shortcut to getting rich. This amulet is a paranormal item, which is scarce equipment. There will be people fighting to buy it in Lazuli!

Lou Fan, Wen Lang, and Jiang Dong looked at each other. They can see the shine of RMB in each other’s eyes. Points ah!!!

Our treasured Shuyang!

Liu Xing got frightened by the ferocious light in their eyes and shrank to her sister’s side. The expressions of these people are a little scary. She’s afraid that they might be a little abnormal.

Chen Changdong, who is completely focused on the darkness, is looking at the black mist not far away. His eyes narrowed and he swung his arm, casting the fishing rod without hesitation. The fishing line with the hook flew as the reel rolls out, falling into darkness in an instant. Immediately, Chen Changdong’s arm tightened. The hook caught something again.

This time, they can see with the light, and Chen Changdong learned from the experience of the last time. He didn’t panic at all and steadily pulled the fishing rod, swaying it left and right just like fishing. Then he slowly shook the handle to recover the fishing line.

A mass of black mist separated from the darkness, and then it struggled to retreat back into the darkness.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Qin Tan stepped forward to meet the team. Chen Changdong pursed his lips before saying, “We want to ask for your help.”

Help? Lou Fan is puzzled. Chen Changdong got tricked by him in the morning and looked angry at that time. Now, he wants to ask them for help? This sounds a bit suspicious.

Chen Changdong saw Lou Fan’s expression and his eyelids twitched involuntarily. Then he continued to say to Qin Tan, “We went to the parking lot but it was so dark that we couldn’t see anything. The person who died on the first day is also inside. Afraid of being overwhelmed, we didn’t go deep inside and thought to ask the master for help. So, I would like to ask you to help us communicate with the master.”

Chen Changdong glanced at Lou Fan again, his lips pursed into a line, “How much do you want?”

Lou Fan: … Why does Chen Changdong look at him like he is a greedy person?!

That’s right! That is correct!

But at moments like these, in the presence of big bosses, Lou Fan felt that he should be tactful.

“No problem, Team leader Chen, we’ll help with this.” Lou Fan stepped forward and said with a smile, “However, wouldn’t it be too distancing if we talk about points? Asking for rewards for small matters like this, we’re not that kind of people.”

Wen Lang: “…” Holy crap, why is Brother Lou becoming more and more shameless!

Jiang Dong gave a thumbs up to Lou Fan’s flexibility in his heart!

Chen Changdong: “…” Can this person change face (expression/attitude) even faster than now?

Although Lou Fan sounded like he is being flattering, he is not annoying at all. His appearance is like a well-behaved and charming person. When he smiles, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrow, so it won’t make people angry at all.

Chen Changdong: “Then, I’ll thank you first. If there is anything we can help with, we will do our best.”

He was waiting for this sentence. Lou Fan happily led Chen Changdong’s team to the staff lounge. Fortunately, the staff lounge is the standard size of a rest area but there is no vacant seat after everyone enters so they just stand together.

The eminent monk is reciting Buddhism while turning the Buddha beads. When he saw so many people coming in, he did not bat an eye and remained motionless like a bell, which reflected the quality of a monk.

Everyone is waiting and Chen Changdong looked at Qin Tan. Qin Tan gave him a helpless look and Lou Fan walked up to the eminent monk after winking at Chen Shuyang. Chen Shuyang immediately understood and is ready to cooperate. Lou Fan approached the monk, sat on the round cushion, and said to the monk, “Master, our other team got sent by the boss to settle the coffins on the B2 floor.”

Upon saying this, Lou Fan saw the monk’s eyelids move. Seems like it is working! So, Lou Fan continued.

“You should also know about the coffins on the B2 floor. For this, we lost a team member. That’s why we want to ask for your help. You won’t want to see innocent people die tragically, right?” After all, the purpose of eminent monks is to subdue demons and exorcise evil.

The eminent monk opened his eyes. Rolling the beads one by one in his hand, he scolded, “You people who cause trouble, you already know that evil spirits hurt people, and yet, you still go forward to be killed. Isn’t this adding trouble? The more people die, the heavier the yin aura, and the greater the power of the evil spirits.”

When the monk finally spoke, Chen Changdong is overjoyed and immediately said, “Master, on the B2 floor, it is so dark that we can’t even see our fingers. Also, we encountered the first dead person there. Other than that, there are evil ghosts on the 4th floor. They are hiding in the dark fog, and possessed strong power.”

The eminent monk looked at Chen Changdong, his eyes seemed to see through everything. Then, he said slowly, “B2 floor is the root of the 8 evil spirits here. Since the coffins are there, the yin aura will be thick. Of course you can’t see anything.”

“Then how can we drive away the yin aura?”

The eminent monk sighed and said, “Fine, since you are going to settle the matter, it can be considered that you are helping me. The yin aura on the B2 floor is too thick so there is no light in the dark. As long as you gather yang aura, you can turn on the lights and see things. I will draw a Yang Gathering Amulet for you. Next, look for the white crystals, the bigger the better. After that, put the crystal to soak in the sunlight, the longer it stays there, the more yang aura will be. After that, you can bring the crystal to the B2 floor and see with the light.”

After receiving the instructions from the eminent monk, the Level 10 team breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shuyang leaned over to see the master’s amulets. With a look of admiration on his face, he asked, “Master, can you teach me how to draw amulets?”

The master kept moving his hands, and a yellow amulet painted in cinnabar is completed in one go. After finishing the amulet, he turned his head to look at Chen Shuyang, “I can teach you. You can learn if you have the ability.”

Chen Shuyang agreed with a wide-eyed smile.

After drawing the Yang Gathering Amulet, the master took out another amulet. This amulet looked more complicated. He handed it to Chen Changdong and said, “This is a seal amulet. If you catch the evil spirit, put him in a coffin, and then stick this on it.”

Chen Changdong said yes and carefully put away the 2 yellow amulets. Immediately, he turned around to go out, wanting to find white crystals but got stopped by Lou Fan.

“Team leader Chen, why don’t we help you find crystals together so it can be done faster?”

Lou Fan is a bit overwhelming when he is being attentive but Qin Tan only crossed his hands and let him play freely.

Chen Changdong opened his mouth but did not speak. It’s good to have someone help, but he always feels that the smiling person in front of him has bad intentions and is holding back some bad ideas.

Lou Fan added, “We have helped the master to find crystals before so we are familiar with the process. This crystal is not easy to find. Many people mean great power/help.”

Chen Changdong had no reason to refuse those who rushed forward to help, so he said, “Okay, then I’ll thank you in advance.”

Lou Fan waved his hand, “It’s okay, we should help each other. But when Team leader Chen is free, we will have to bother Team leader Chen to tell us about the upgrade of the spirit weapon.”

Chen Changdong understood that their intention in on that matter, but spirit weapon’s upgrade is not something that can’t be said anyway. It is mainly dependent on the strength of the owner of the spirit weapon. Since people helped him, he can’t not say anything. Compared to exchanging equipment for help, Chen Changdong felt that he had gotten better of the deal.

“No problem, I’ll tell you about it when I have time, it’s nothing.”

Lou Fan curved his eyebrows in smiles and said, “Team leader Chen is sure straightforward. Then, let’s go find the crystal and meet here later.”

Chen Changdong nodded and left with his team members. As for Qin Tan and the others, they ate something to replenish their stamina before continuing their search. Originally, they were also looking for crystals, so helping Chen Changdong to find the white ones is just a matter of the way. By helping out, they managed to get Chen Changdong to promise to tell them about the upgrade of the spirit weapon. Such a good bargain, Lou Fan had no reason not to pick it up.

Wen Lang walked over to Lou Fan and bumped Lou Fan with his elbow. He gave a thumbs up and said, “Brother Lou, I found that you have changed. You are no longer the simple brother Lou when you first came to Lazuli.”

Lou Fan narrowed his eyes at Wen Lang dangerously, “En? Are you trying to say I’m black-bellied?”

“No, I’m not. Don’t think badly about it!” Wen Lang said immediately, “You are the beacon of our team, we are where you point.”

Lou Fan looked at Wen Lang with a highly suspicious look. Wen Lang hehe-ed silly-ly, not embarrassed at all! He is telling the truth, what’s there to be embarrassing of?

Jiang Dong covered his face. He couldn’t look at that flattering expression, Wen the but*-kisser!

…

Chen Shuyang is left behind as usual while the other four went to find crystals. Lou Fan’s goal is to find crystals with 5 attributes as much as he could.

After the people left, Chen Shuyang walked up to the master and watched him draw a few more Yang Gathering Amulets, feeling full of praise.

“Master, teach me to draw too, I’m very smart.” Chen Shuyang is afraid that the master would think he is stupid and dislike him. But he felt that he himself is quite smart, really.

The master touched his chin and looked at Chen Shuyang, nodded, “Okay, I’ll teach you first. It’s up to you if you can learn it or not.”

The master casually took a piece of yellow paper and dipped the brush in cinnabar. The tip of the pen landed on the yellow paper, and the master finished drawing after a few strokes. Chen Shuyang stared intently at the trajectory of the tip of the brush, and his fingers followed the drawing unconsciously. After the master draw the amulets 3 times, he stopped drawing and let Chen Shuyang stare at the yellow amulet by himself.

After a while, Chen Shuyang picked up a pen. He searched around but found no paper. So, he simply opened his book and drew on it. A feature of Chen Shuyang’s book is that he can put things in it, but can’t write on it with a pen. Hence, when he first copied the Buddhist scriptures in his book and the writing appeared, he was surprised. Now, he tried drawing the amulet on it, but none of the patterns stayed on the page. Even so, he kept drawing unconsciously, mainly to find the feeling of drawing the pattern.

After drawing the pattern a dozen times, Chen Shuyang suddenly took a look at the master’s amulet again. Next, he took a deep breath and swiftly draw the amulet in one go. The pattern of the ‘scribbles’ which is exactly the same as the master’s amulet appeared on the page. At the moment when Chen Shuyang finished drawing, there seemed to be a flash of light. This time, the amulet did not disappear and remained on the page.

Chen Shuyang is surprised for a moment. He flipped through it for a long time, but couldn’t figure out how to use the amulet drawn on it. At least for scriptures, he could read them out. The amulets he has seen are generally used to stick on something. On the other hand, the immobilization amulet exchanged by Lou Fan before, the usage is by tearing it.

So how does he use this one?

Thinking that the spirit weapon would be repaired by itself, Chen Shuyang tried to tear off the page with the spell on it. Holding it in his hand, he could see that the amulet is intact, that it didn’t fade or anything. He held it up and handed it to the master.

“Master, look, can this amulet be used?” Chen Shuyang asked cautiously, for fear that the master would scold him when he turned around. He didn’t use either the yellow paper or cinnabar. Plus, the amulet is drawn with neutral brushstrokes. Although Chen Shuyang felt that the amulet he had drawn seemed a little different, but in front of the master, he is not very confident.

The master held the torn page of paper and turned it over and over. It is a seemingly ordinary piece of paper, but the qi of the spell drawn on it made him feel that this is an amulet with the effect of the Yang Gathering Amulet.

The master stroked his non-existent beard, nodded, and said, “Not bad, not bad, the future generations are terrifying. Come, I will teach you a few more spells.”

Chen Shuyang is startled by the praise. He is very surprised, but his face is expressionless. His spirit weapon is too weak, and he doesn’t even have the ability to protect himself. Going out can only be a hindrance to the team. Now that he can learn a protection skill, whoever doesn’t cherish the chance is a fool.

…

Liu Yue stared from one end of the window to the other. They are filled with beautiful crystals, but which one is the white crystal?

Liu Xing sighed on the other side, “Sister, what kind of white crystal is it? There are other colors, but there is no white.” After searching for a long time, her eyes are spinning with dizziness. There is no white crystal at all.

“That monk wouldn’t be playing tricks on us, won’t he?”

Liu Yue glared at her sister and couldn’t help scolding, “Since when have you seen an NPC playing tricks on the teams? Can you have some common sense?”

Liu Xing stuck out her tongue reluctantly and looked at Chen Changdong in the opposite shop. She sighed when she saw that he is also frowning at the display cabinet. Glancing at the time, Liu Xing saw that it is already late afternoon. The sun outside would be going down soon, can they find the white crystal before sunset?

[Banana: Thanks to those who commented previously :3 At least I know someone is still reading lol XD]

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy) -dead
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Chen Changdong said that to despise them junior team for having lesser points, right?! Of course, they don’t have many points indeed.

It seems that Chen Changdong didn’t want to continue talking anymore as he said, “Alright, you can say it now.”

Lou Fan didn’t delay. After receiving the payment, he told everything he knew. “Before the mall was built, 8 coffins were dug up from the ground. When we went back to rest last night, we noticed that there are movements in the underground parking lot. Therefore, the 8 coffins should be there, but the exact location is unclear.”

Combining the context, the 8 coffins should be in the underground parking lot. Listening to the meaning of the second sentence, there is quite a lot of movement there at night. Hearing that, Chen Changdong’s expression became even more unsightly. He pondered for a while and discussed with his 4 team members. Then, they decided to take a look at it during the day and think about countermeasures after.

Lou Fan kindly reminded, “Team leader Chen, our temporary shelter is in the staff lounge at the safety exit. If you need anything, you can come to us again.”

Chen Changdong glared at Lou Fan and took out his spirit weapon to check its condition. The hook has returned, and it is a good fishing rod again.

However, when Lou Fan and Qin Tan saw that spirit weapon, their eyes widened. At the same time, Lou Fan became more depressed, and his heart is a little broken.

Damn it, he messed up! My God! It’s actually an intermediate spirit weapon! Lou Fan just tricked a bunch of points from the owner of the intermediate spirit weapon! If the man took it out earlier, he can even provide the news for free! Lou Fan is roaring inwardly but his expression is calm.

Qin Tan asked aloud, “Team leader Chen, your spirit weapon is an intermediate spirit weapon?”

Dong Xu snorted aside, “You know your goods.”

On the contrary, Chen Changdong has an indescribably complicated expression on his face. Finally, he sighed, “So what if it’s an intermediate spirit weapon? The evil ghost still escaped last night, and we even lost Ma Ming.” He said and looked deeply at the junior team. Then he reminded them, “This time, the task is not easy to do, you all be careful.”

Lou Fan felt a little embarrassed to be reminded so kindly after he scammed others of their points.

However, Chen Changdong didn’t seem to care at all. He called his teammates, and they walked to the safety exit to the underground parking lot to check the situation.

After the higher-level team left, Qin Tan frowned and said, “Just now he said that he was using an intermediate spirit weapon but the evil spirit still ran away.”

Lou Fan nodded, also with a solemn expression, “We have to be more careful and try our best not to conflict with the evil ghost, and just complete our mission.”

Their team squatted in the master’s room the whole night last night. Today, their main task is to find crystals. If they have nothing to do at night, they should continue staying in the room and don’t run around. They believe that they can still avoid direct contact with evil spirits to the greatest extent possible. Lou Fan thought it is a good arrangement.

The monk had collected the things he wanted and is about to go back. Qin Tan asked Chen Shuyang to follow him; there would be no danger in the daytime. The rest of them took the money from Chen Shuyang and went straight to the place where they saw the crystals with attributes.

Chen Shuyang’s money is only effective for 10 minutes. They need to make a quick decision and can’t take more money, just take enough money to pay the bill. Hence, they need to wait until the next time they see something suitable, then they go back and get the money.

Going to the store yesterday, Lou Fan bought both the golden crystal and the green crystal the size of a pinky finger. 10 minutes later, the balance of money left in his hand disappeared. However, the lady shopkeeper did not say that there is something wrong with the money. It should be a setting in this world.

Qin Tan’s team still split into 2 to look for the crystals. As long as Wen Lang’s side saw a suspected crystal of the 5 attributes, they will call Lou Fan over to look at it. After running around for a long time, they finally gathered enough of the crystals with 5 attributes. However, except for the golden one, the rest are very small. They are only about the size of a pinky finger.

The four of them hurriedly took the crystals and hurried back to give them to the eminent monk. The eminent monk accepted the crystal and nodded at Lou Fan with a smile, “Not bad, young man. It’s what I wanted. Although they are a little small, it’s enough.”

Lou Fan asked, “Master, how does this work? The bigger the better?”

The eminent monk had an unfathomable expression on his face, “The so-called yin and yang of heaven and earth are all within the 5 attributes. Using the power of the attributes, they can remove all dark spirits and ghosts. But the power of the 5 attributes must be brought together to be effective. As for usage, just place the crystals in different specific positions and then, recite the incantation.”

Lou Fan touched his chin in contemplation, it doesn’t sound too difficult. Also, he thought that since this eminent monk can eliminate the evil spirits in this world, he must have real ability. His method may be useful for dealing with all kinds of supernatural beings.

Lou Fan asked with a smile: “Master, do you have other orders for us?”

The eminent monk paused and waved his hand, “Today is done. I’ll call you people to run errands tomorrow.”

Lou Fan waved at his team members with a mysterious look on his face. Seeing him like this, Qin Tan knew that Lou Fan must be planning something again.

Sure enough, the smile on Lou Fan’s face almost overflowed as he said, “Hurry up, let’s continue to find more crystals. This thing will definitely be useful in other worlds, we need to find more!” Next, he turned around and asked Chen Shuyang, “Shuyang, do you still have RMB in your book?”

Chen Shuyang nodded and flipped through a few pages. There is another stack on it, “There’s more here, I think it should be enough!”

Lou Fan gestured at Chen Shuyang cunningly, “Not bad, Shuyang, you little clever thing.”

Chen Shuyang suddenly couldn’t help laughing and crying, “Then, you guys go ahead to find more, and I will continue to study with the master. He is quite optimistic about me, and said he wants to teach me to draw amulets.”

Qin Tan: “You will stay to protect the master. Call out if something happens. We are just around and will be back before 10.00 pm.”

Wen Lang patted Chen Shuyang and said, “Study hard, Shuyang. It’s good to absorb more of this knowledge. Help me read my fortune when we return to Lazuli.”

Jiang Dong scolded Wen Lang, “He is studying Buddhism skills, and it has nothing to do with fortune-telling.”

The daily quarrel started again so Chen Shuyang rolled his eyes and ignored these two directly.

Hearing that, Wen Lang is not happy, “Hey, why do you always have to seek attention for yourself?”

Jiang Dong: “Then, why do you keep spouting nonsense from your head?”

Wen Lang: “You!”

Lou Fan: “Stop flirting and go!”

“Who is flirting?!” The two said in unison, then glared at each other.

…

Chen Changdong took his team members down the stairs to the basement floor. At moments like this, he didn’t know what they would encounter in the elevator, so taking the stairs should be more secure. The B1 floor looked normal but the lights are a little dim. There are a few cars parked sparsely around and they can’t see anything wrong. They didn’t make a sound and stayed cautious.

Yuan Jin pulled at Chen Changdong’s sleeve and pointed to a sign, which a downward arrow is drawn, the B2 floor. Chen Changdong nodded and pointed down at his team members before turning towards the stairs.

As soon as they entered the vicinity B2 floor, gusts of chilly wind rushed in from all directions. The team shrank their necks and trembled all over, their limbs cold. Needless to say, the possibility of the 8 coffins on this floor is very high so they became more and more vigilant. Chen Changdong only intends to find out whether the coffins are here. Then, he’ll just grab the evil ghost and drags it over directly.

However, the idea is good but realizing it is not easy. When they walked out of the corridor, they found that the surroundings are completely dark, and they could not see their fingers. The team quickly took out the bright headlights they brought with them. Under the illumination of the strong light, the visible range is only about 1 meter, and they can’t see what is in front of them.

Liu Xing is very scared so she reached out to grab her sister’s hand, only to find that Liu Yue’s hand is cold as well. But as she is walking, she suddenly realized that something is wrong. Their team leader is walking in front and she and her sister are following behind him. Then, behind them are Yuan Jin and Dong Xu. She remembered that her sister was on her left before, so who is the person holding her right hand?

Liu Xing turned her head tremblingly, and the bright headlight moved along with her. On the person’s pale face, a pair of blood-red, unfocused eyes stared at her. When she looked over, the person revealed a strange smile.

At that moment, Liu Xing felt that her hand got licked by fire, and she threw it away instantly. The next moment, she screamed. At the same time, Liu Yue reacted right away and grabbed Liu Xing, pulling her backward. After that, she opened her folding fan and swiped at the dead man. The dead man fell to the ground. Yuan Jin and Dong Xu rushed over and immediately threw out a special whip at the body, swiftly tying it up.

Liu Yue comforted Liu Xing, but Liu Xing only got frightened at that moment earlier. Now, she has come back to her senses.

Chen Changdong took out his flashlight to check, and asked casually, “Is Liu Xing all right?”

“She’s alright, just got a sudden scare.” Liu Yue shook her head. Holding Liu Xing’s hand, they stepped forward and saw the person on the ground. She said, “This is the person who fell from the building on the 1st day.”

Chen Changdong nodded and looked around again, but found no shadow of the coffin.

“Where did this man come from?”

Liu Xing said with an aggrieved tone, “I don’t know either. I just wanted to hold my sister’s hand, but…” Now that she thinks about it, Liu Xing felt like her hand is going to rot, and she can’t wait to rub it with soap at least 10 times.

Liu Yue: “Could it be that he just came out of the coffin?”

After Liu Yue said this, everyone thought it is not impossible. On the 1st day, the NPCs said that the 8 people who died every month are the evil spirit’s replacements.

Liu Yue added, “Team leader, it’s too dark here. Even if we found the coffin now, we won’t be able to drag the evil spirit here to find it again. We must brighten the place up first. Also, I don’t think this matter about the coffin is simple. We have to ask again about the placement of the coffin. I still remember a previous mission, because of the placement of key items, another intermediate team almost died.”

Of course, Chen Changdong still remembered that they were just a junior team at that time. Thinking of this, he immediately agreed with Liu Yue’s point of view.

“Go up first. We’ll confirm the details before coming down again.” Although Chen Changdong is a little unwilling to leave empty-handed, he couldn’t force the way through or his team will suffer in the end.

This time, their return went very smoothly. Liu Yue thought about something and finally said hesitantly, “Team leader, I think we should find the junior team to communicate with the eminent monk. I have a feeling that the eminent monk will not answer our words.”

Although Chen Changdong is reluctant to believe it, he had also thought about what Liu Yue said. But he couldn’t figure out what made the key NPC only communicate with the junior team and ignore the senior team. It stands to reason that the NPC will talk as long as there are key items, but now they don’t even know what the key items are.

When Chen Changdong and his team are going to look for the junior team, they happened to see Lou Fan holding some shiny things in his hand, chatting and laughing with Wen Lang beside him. Qin Tan is walking beside Lou Fan, and he looked a bit like a bodyguard.

Lou Fan is very happy because they had a good harvest this time. They found 2 crystals with water attributes. Then, he looked up and saw Chen Changdong coming over with a long face. Lou Fan stopped walking and thought to himself, ‘Why do I feel like they are here to find fault with that expression? Could it be there are no coffins in the underground parking lot?’

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy)
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

The transparent fishing line tensed into a straight line in the air. Chen Changdong held the fishing rod tightly, leaning back, unable to move even half an inch. They only managed to run a few steps. The huge resistance behind them made it difficult for Chen Changdong to move forward. Hence, the other 3 men on the team could only help him hold the fishing rod. Their arms are bulging with blue veins as they pulled with a grim faces.

Liu Yue and Liu Xing can only look at them nervously at the side. The black aura in front of them is becoming thicker and thicker. They don’t dare to go forward.

At this moment, Chen Changdong’s situation is like riding a tiger, unable to stop halfway. He couldn’t let go of his spirit weapon but he couldn’t pull the evil spirit out so he is in a stalemate. Just when he is thinking about what to do, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand loosen. The rebound force caused them four to be thrown to the ground.

The fishing line broke?!

Chen Changdong suddenly widened his eyes and his expression changed dramatically.

Liu Yue reacted right away and shouted: “Liu Xing, run! Team leader, you guys quickly get up!” After speaking, she stepped in front of Chen Changdong and pulled him up.

The fishing line is broken, which is equivalent to Qin Tan’s Tang sword being broken in two. One can imagine the ferocity of the evil spirit from this.

A dense black mass approached quickly so the team turned around and ran. The one running the last is Ma Ming. Because he got up to his feet too fast, the soles of his feet slipped and he fell back again. It is at this moment that the black mass wrapped him in.

“AHH… urgh urgh.” After the scream, there is a scalp numbing sound.

Liu Xing couldn’t help but glance back. Ma Ming is not far away but only his head can be seen. He has a horrified expression on his face, and bright red blood tears flowed from his eyes. Not daring to look again, Liu Xing turned her head with a pale face. She could feel a chill running all over her body.

Returning to the circular corridor, the dim yellow lights above gave them a sense of warmth. The remaining members of the Level 10 team gasped in silence.

Chen Changdong’s expression is ugly. It’s just the 1st night, he didn’t expect that Ma Ming would die. Originally, it was said that Level 10’s mission world is a hurdle but Chen Changdong relied on his spirit weapon and felt that there is nothing to be afraid of. Now, it seems that he has underestimated the viciousness of the Level 10 mission world.

Liu Xing held her sister’s hand tightly. Ma Ming’s dying appearance is still echoing in her mind just now. She is very afraid that she would become like that too.

Yuan Jin and Dong Xu are covered in sweat. Ma Ming was behind them just now. When he got dragged away, they even felt that Ma Ming wanted to grab their hand. Dong Xu did try to pull him, but their hands slipped away.

At this moment, Liu Yue is very calm. She said: “Team leader, we forgot about one thing. The coffin that is used to seal the evil spirits has not been found. Also, to deal with the evil spirits, it seems that we must turn to that eminent monk for help.”

Chen Changdong also recalled it at this moment, they have indeed ignored the other points in the mission. In the mission world, there are always things to restrain the opponent. This is something that anyone with experience in doing several missions can understand. Even if they don’t, they can always hear it from the seniors’ mouths. But they made mistakes from the beginning. One is ignoring the eminent monk, and the other is not finding the key coffin. Even if they caught the evil spirit just now, there is no way to seal it.

The most urgent task is to find the coffin first.

“Let’s return to the 1st floor and we’ll make plans. Tomorrow, we will go to see Qin Tan and his team.” Chen Changdong gritted his teeth and checked his fishing rod. He found that the fishing line is indeed broken, and the hook at the front is missing. Fortunately, spirit weapon can be repaired automatically so the hook will be back to normal in the morning.

Everyone on the team has a solemn expression, and Dong Xu led the way while gripping his spirit weapon. 20 minutes later, they found that they are still in the circular corridor on the 4th floor. They couldn’t find the way to the elevator.

They are trapped.

Dong Xu is covered in a cold sweat. He turned his head and asked, “What should we do, team leader? If we can’t find an exit, will the evil ghost come out to attack us?”

Liu Yue squeezed her sister’s hand fiercely, trying to make her less afraid.

Chen Changdong couldn’t help but scold with a swear word. Then he said, “We’ll fight it when it comes out. You have passed 9 mission worlds already, and you still want me to teach you? What are you afraid of? You haven’t seen a ghost before or what?”

Of course, Dong Xu is not a newbie. But it is the first time he saw a ghost who could destroy his team leader’s spirit weapon. That’s why he panicked for a while.

Chen Changdong took something out of his bag and stuffed it into Dong Xu’s hand, “Take it. Use this if you can’t beat it.”

Dong Xu looked down and saw that it is something his team leader bought from a Level 12 team at a high price. It was originally intended to be used to save his own life (CCD), so Dong Xu didn’t expect it to be given to him now. He held it in his hand and looked at Chen Changdong again. There is only determination and no fear in his eyes.

Chen Changdong looked around for a while before pointing in a direction. He said, “Let’s go there and stay there first. Since there is no exit, don’t waste your energy. We will wait until dawn.”

…

And so, Chen Changdong’s team is trapped on the 4th floor, while Lou Fan’s team is safe and sound in the staff lounge with the master. Although they could feel the vibration of the ground floor under their feet, what did this have to do with them? The subject of their task is staying put in the room and sleeping soundly. The five of them are very happy. After they determined the duties for the night vigil, they took turns to rest.

Before going to bed, Lou Fan took a glance at Furball. It is still curled up into a ball and slept soundly. Lou Fan poked it before putting it back into his pocket again.

Lou Fan slept without a dream until the next day. Suddenly, a loud BANG sounded and Lou Fan had to open his eyes. A shadow (QT) flashed in front of him and Lou Fan immediately followed without hesitation. In front of Qin Tan is the figure of the eminent monk, running fast. Lou Fan followed behind Qin Tan, and behind him are Jiang Dong and Wen Lang. Chen Shuyang is catching up at the end.

When their group ran to the circular atrium, they saw a man lying on the ground with his limbs twisted. The corpse is surrounded by a few NPC passers-by, chatting and pointing at him.

Jiang Dong stepped forward and took a look. Although the deceased is beyond recognition, he still recognized it. He turned his head and said solemnly, “This is a member of the Level 10 team. He should be called Ma Ming.”

The Level 10 team?

Lou Fan paused and wondered, “Last night was the 1st night, and the Level 10 team already lost a member? What did they encounter?” He turned his head and looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone from the Level 10 team.

Wen Lang turned his head to look and happened to see Chen Changdong and his team members getting off the elevator. He said, “Brother Qin, Brother Lou, at the lift is over there.”

Qin Tan looked over, and the Level 10 team seemed to be alright. But there are dark circles under their eyes, it seems that they didn’t sleep at all that night. He looked at the corpse and then walked towards Chen Changdong.

“Team leader Chen, what happened to you last night? Your team member fell from the building just now.” After Qin Tan said that, he saw the five people looking shocked. It is obvious that they don’t know that the deceased was their team member.

The eminent monk is squatting on the ground to cut the corpse’s nails and hair, still carefully tucking them away.

Before Chen Changdong could talk to Qin Tan, he went to stop the eminent monk first. Hence, Liu Yue briefly explained their experience to Qin Tan, and Lou Fan listened at the side. It is probably that Ma Ming died last night, and he should have been pushed down by the evil ghost this morning.

The deceased is a member of their team, and Liu Xing thought of Ma Ming’s eyes again. No one knows where but she managed to find a piece of cloth to cover up Ma Ming’s body.

Chen Changdong stopped the eminent monk, and the high monk looked at him expressionlessly. “Master, we have to deal with evil spirits so please give us a little help. Or, please tell us where the coffin is. We can exchange it for something, or buy it.”

The master remained expressionless as if he hadn’t heard the words.

Chen Changdong stared at the eminent monk. Could it be the master want some kind of key items? But the eminent monk didn’t mention anything, who knows what the key items are? He turned to look at Qin Tan. The junior team followed the eminent monk yesterday. He wondered if they knew anything.

“Team leader Chen, are you looking for a coffin?” Lou Fan leaned over as he walked out from behind Qin Tan.

Chen Changdong nodded, wondering if he knew something.

Lou Fan pretended to think for a moment before saying, “I seem to know a little about this and our team has analyzed it in advance. Also, the master revealed something to us last night. If you really want to know, I can tell you.”

Chen Changdong immediately said, “Where?”

Lou Fan laughed, “Team leader Chen wants to exchange information with us? We will accept everything. Points will be fine but of course, equipment is better.”

Wen Lang gaped widely. Then, he leaned to Jiang Dong’s ear and said, “Damn, Brother Lou is getting more and more cunning!”

Jiang Dong refrained from laughing, “We can’t help being cunning. Don’t you realize that the mid-level teams we work with are not exactly reliable? If we are not cunning, then we are the ones who suffer.”

Wen Lang agrees very much, “Indeed, only Brother Lou can pretend ‘to be a pig to eat a tiger’ without changing his expression. If it’s Brother Qin, emmm…” After that, he turned his head to Jiang Dong again. With a tone of disgust, he added, “You can’t do it either. You looked crafty with just a glance at you.”

Jiang Dong chuckled, “You’re just a little bastard.”

Standing behind the chatting duo, Chen Shuyang deeply felt the strangeness of his team members. Pushing his glasses, he silently lowered his head to continue copying scriptures.

On the other side, Chen Changdong choked after hearing Lou Fan’s words. Are all Level 4 teams this witty now?

“5,000 points in exchange.” Chen Changdong said.

Hey, what the hell with that look like you’ve made a big deal for us? Lou Fan couldn’t help rolling his eyes inwardly.

“Team leader Chen, you really think such important information is only worth 5,000 points?” Lou Fan is still smiling and no one could see that under that gentle appearance, he is a witty person who has leveled his cunningness to the max. “But sure, if you only pay 5,000 points, I can only provide you with information worth 5,000 points.”

Chen Changdong gritted his teeth, he had to buy it no matter how reluctant he is. The initiative is not in their own hands but this news is too important to them. If it is something with a clearly marked price, Chen Changdong felt that he could even pay 100,000 points. But when the position is changed and he is being manipulated by someone with lower levels than him, Chen Changdong suddenly felt a toothache coming.

“50,000 points.” Chen Changdong seemed to grind this sentence out of his teeth. Then he said to Qin Tan, “Team leader Qin, your team member is good.”

Qin Tan agrees, “Yeah, I think he is pretty good too.”

Pff! Wen Lang almost burst out laughing.

Lou Fan raised an eyebrow smugly.

Fine! You guys are sure ruthless! Chen Changdong felt that he would vomit blood if he continued the conversation.

“Since team leader Chen is so sincere, it’s a deal.” Anyway, they are in the same mission world so it’s not good to force people into a corner. They still have to cooperate well.

Originally, Lou Fan thought to get paid after they returned to Lazuli. Unexpectedly, Chen Changdong tapped a few times on his watch, and then Qin Tan’s watch beeped twice, indicating that he had received points.

Lou Fan: !!! What is going on? It can work like this? How come no one told him?

Chen Changdong can tell with a glance that Qin Tan’s team didn’t know about this. He humphed, “After completing the Level 9 task, you can apply for the access in the exchange hall in the South Plaza. Right now, you can only accept points but not give it out.”

Banana: I’m wondering here, if anyone still reads this translation _(;3/

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy)
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

It was 1.00 pm when they arrived, and now it is close to 10.00 pm. The shops in the plaza are already preparing to close.

Qin Tan thought for a while and said to Chen Shuyang, “Shuyang, you stay here. It’s not safe outside at night. You stay and take care of the master, it looked safe here.”

Chen Shuyang also knew that he could not be of much help. Also, he might drag everyone back, so he nodded, “Okay. Brother Qin, Brother Lou, you guys please pay attention to safety. Master has me guarding here.”

Lou Fan smiled, “Didn’t you say you want to learn a few tricks from the master? Here’s your chance.”

Wen Lang is already gearing up to go out and patted Chen Shuyang’s shoulder, “Work hard, I’m optimistic about you.”

The rest of the team prepared to go out. At this moment, Lou Fan is walking towards the door, and suddenly, a snow-white ‘dumpling’ rolled out from his pocket. Fortunately, Lou Fan responded quickly so the thing didn’t fall to the ground.

Furball landed in Lou Fan’s palm and Lou Fan poked it. But there’s no response?! Only then, Lou Fan realizes that since he came to this world, he didn’t seem to see Furball coming out so he forget about Furball for some time.

Furball is breathing lightly. Its little body bobbed up and down, apparently sleeping soundly. Lou Fan doesn’t understand. He remembered that when they are on Mount Gui, Furball was very alert and never slept.

Qin Tan glanced at Furball and said, “Furball probably couldn’t adapt well to this world. There are still differences between the mythical world and the modern world.”

Lou Fan nodded, “Let it sleep then. I don’t think it’s needed in a paranormal setting.” After that, he put Furball back into his pocket carefully. This time, he made sure not to let it fall out. In case he encountered an evil spirit and Furball falls out during his escape, then he probably can’t find Furball anymore.

Not sure if because it’s night time now, there are obviously fewer people in the mall. Only a few young people are walking around. There isn’t anyone talking at all which makes people feel chilly. Qin Tan’s team went straight to the shops in the south. They looked vigilant, each holding their own spirit weapon. As for the weapons they exchanged in Lazuli, they are put away. In the spiritual world, the power of normal weapons is negligible and can be ignored.

Sure enough, the 2 rows of shops in the south are all selling crystals. The crystals displayed in front of the glass windows look very beautiful. Not sure if it is an illusion, Lou Fan thinks that this row of shops is glowing with a faint halo.

As usual, they are divided into 2 teams, each team in charge of one side.

As soon as Wen Lang entered the store, he greeted the owner, “Hi, shopkeeper. Are there any crystals of the 5 attributes?”

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with drooping eyelids. The smell of smoke in the shop is strong and extremely pungent. Hearing a sound, he raised his head. His eyes are bloodshot, and his face is unshaven.

“Oh, you can look around.” The shopkeeper said slowly and feebly.

Jiang Dong frowned and pulled Wen Lang back a few steps.

“Are there any crystals of the 5 attributes?” Wen Lang asked again.

“The 5 attributes?” The middle-aged man thought for a while before saying, “It’s all there, just see for yourself.” After he finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

Wen Lang: …

No other way, the two could only check the glass counter and look at the crystals, but they didn’t gain much after looking for a long time. The crystals are beautiful, but there aren’t any with pure color like Chen Shuyang said. The same goes for Qin Tan’s side. Qin Tan saw the shopkeeper’s appearance and kept Lou Fan behind him. The look in the shopkeeper’s eyes makes people feel unnerved. Lou Fan glanced at the counter and didn’t see any crystals with the 5 attributes, so he pulled Qin Tan out.

They went to several shops in a row, and the result is all the same. The crystals on the counter looked good, but there are always impurities in them. When they walked into the 8th shop, Lou Fan suddenly felt that the inside is very bright. If the light bulbs in the previous store were 2-watt energy-saving lamps, then this shop here is using 20-watt LED lamps. Even the shopkeeper sitting at the counter has a noticeable difference in terms of complexion.

With just one glance, Lou Fan saw in the inner counter near the shopkeeper, a golden crystal the size of a quail egg, radiating a golden halo. And in the counter next to it on the other side, there is also a green crystal the size of a pinky’s joint. Lou Fan’s eyes lit up and walked quickly to the counter.

Qin Tan didn’t see any light as Lou Fan did. He only saw Lou Fan hurried forward, and immediately followed, pulling at his arm.

Lou Fan looked at the crystal inside the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “Boss, can you show me that crystal?” The NPC in this world seemed a bit wrong so Lou Fan didn’t beat about the bush and asked straight away.

The female shopkeeper yawned and covered her red lips with her hand. She stretched out her hand to take out the golden crystal, “This crystal is the most treasured piece in the store, you have to look carefully.”

Hearing that, Lou Fan stiffened and raised his head. He asked, word by word, “How much is this?”

The shopkeeper said a number and Lou Fan turned his head stiffly to look at Qin Tan. Qin Tan also spread his hands helplessly – they forgot about the money to buy the crystal. Their current state is penniless. Even though they are in the mission world, Lou Fan still felt his cheeks burning with shame. Qin Tan also had never encountered such an embarrassing moment before. Both men walked out of the shop in despair and met Wen Lang’s team.

Wen Lang looked at Qin Tan and Lou Fan in confusion, “What’s wrong with you two? Your expression looks so bad.”

Lou Fan sighed, “I found the crystals.”

Wen Lang immediately became happy, “Did you get it?”

Jiang Dong: “What’s the problem?”

Lou Fan wiped his face, only to feel like his teeth are aching, “No money. I don’t have a single penny on me. Do you guys have any?”

Wen Lang and Jiang Dong looked at each other. Money? What’s that?

At this moment, a bell-like sound suddenly sounded in the plaza, as if an order is given. Qin Tan’s team stood in the middle, and all the shops around them closed their doors with clacking sounds. After a minute, the surroundings became silent except for the breathing of the four.

Qin Tan immediately leaned close to a shop’s display window and looked inside. The faint light from the hallway filtered in, and Qin Tan only saw an empty shop, nobody is inside! His scalp turned numb, and he turned to the other team members. Then Qin Tan said in a deep voice, “Go back first!”

Lou Fan is still thinking about the possibility of breaking the window to get the crystal when Qin Tan pulled him away. Wen Lang and Jiang Dong ran up behind, and the sound of their footsteps became clearer in the quiet shopping mall.

Dong Dong Dong!

A dull sound could be heard from a distance as if something is beating at the ground. Qin Tan’s team didn’t dare to stop and ran a few steps faster. When he is about to enter the staff lounge, Qin Tan paused and listened carefully. Seeing Wen Lang stop to mimic him, Qin Tan pushed Wen Lang to the room and they entered through the door together.

“Hey, Brother Qin, what were you listening for?” Wen Lang said while looking back at Qin Tan.

Qin Tan looked at Wen Lang and said, “You’re getting more and more courageous eh? Just listening to ghosts hitting the wall. How about you go out and listen again?”

Wen Lang waved his hands with a smile, “No no no, I’m too timid.”

Lou Fan ignored them and walked over to Chen Shuyang. Pulling out a stool, he sat down with a contemplative look on his face.

Chen Shuyang was writing something and turned to look at Lou Fan, “Brother Lou, you guys are back. What’s wrong? You can’t find the crystals?”

Lou Fan looked up at Chen Shuyang, “I found some but I have no money to buy them.”

“En?” Chen Shuyang paused for a long time before asking, “We need money to buy the crystals?”

Lou Fan sighed melancholically, “I haven’t used any money for so long and have completely forgotten about this issue. Now that we need to buy the crystals, where can we get the money in such a short period of time? Or we should just steal it.”

After knowing that they need money, Chen Shuyang immersed himself in his book, flipping through the pages for a long time. Finally, he stopped, and suddenly laughed, “Brother Lou, do you want RMB or USD? I have them here.”

On the pages of Chen Shuyang’s book, there are piles of money, including RMB and USD, which are neatly arranged, and it looks like a lot of money.

Lou Fan: !!!

Looking at Lou Fan’s expression, Chen Shuyang patted his own head embarrassedly and said with a silly smirk, “Ey, I saw this selection on the exchange machine and it was super cheap so I exchanged a little bit. Ain’t it because I’ve never seen so much money before.”

Lou Fan simply felt that Chen Shuyang is their savior, and looked relieved, “Shuyang, you should keep more of these things in the future. Our wealthy life depends on you.”

Qin Tan was sitting down to rest at the side. When he heard this, he praised Chen Shuyang as well, “Fortunately Shuyang thought it thoroughly. Not bad, keep working hard.”

Although this compliment is not sincere, Chen Shuyang still blushed embarrassedly in the face of the unanimous compliment from the four. Actually, he just wanted to feel the feeling of being rich.

Only then did Lou Fan realize that Chen Shuyang’s book seemed a little different.

“What did you do earlier, Shuyang?” Lou Fan asked, “Why do I feel like your book has changed a bit?”

Chen Shuyang immediately turned his book forward. Then he said excitedly as he turned, “This is what I wanted to say just now. My book has changed. Earlier, the master was reciting scriptures. I wanted to put one of the scriptures in it, but it wouldn’t get in. So I thought of copying it down. The result was after I copied the scriptures, my book glowed brighter. It’s not the same as the previous bleak halo.”

That’s right. The glow on Chen Shuyang’s book can be seen visibly now.

“I feel that holding my book, I don’t feel as cold as when we went to the 4th and 5th floors before.”

It’s not like Chen Shuyang’s book has upgraded, but more like finding the right way to use it. Chen Shuyang immediately received encouragement from everyone.

“Shuyang, copy more if it’s useful. If you have nothing to do, just sit here and copy with the master!” Wen Lang said immediately.

Jiang Dong also said, “Since it is useful, copy more.”

…

Chen Changdong is followed by his 5 team members, walking forward in a circle. The circular corridor is surrounded by square-shaped corridors. Chen Changdong did not rush forward to pick a direction but walked along the circular corridor. Then, he walked toward one of the darkest-looking corridors. As a rule of thumb, this kind of corridor usually has something waiting in it. Since their purpose is to deal with evil spirits, the team didn’t delay and headed straight to the point.

The corridor is deep and dark. Looking in from far away, there is no light, not even a dim yellow light, just complete darkness. The team switched formation into 2 rows with their backs against each other to prevent their backs from being attacked.

rustling sound

A rustling noise sounded and Liu Xing immediately became nervous. She held her breath secretly and turned to look at her elder sister. Liu Yue gave her a soothing look and quietly protected Liu Xing from her back.

Chen Changdong’s eyes narrowed and his wrists suddenly exerted force. The pole in his hand is tossed forward, and a long thread with a silver hook is thrown forward…

Chen Changdong’s spirit weapon turned out to be a fishing rod. His hand felt a pull as if a fish is hooked, and the fishing line tightened.

“It’s hooked, go back!” Chen Changdong suddenly shouted. The fishing rod in his hand tightened, and the team quickly ran out.

Here’s a list of names, in case someone couldn’t remember them:

Level 10 team
Chen Changdong (leader)
Liu Yue (older sister of the twins)
Liu Xing (younger sister of the twins)
Yuan Jin (man with slightly long hair)
Ma Ming (a short guy)
Dong Xu (a tall guy)

Wen Lang turned around and walked into the crowd. He is good-looking and has a sweet mouth, and soon began to communicate happily with the NPC. In fact, these NPCs are also ordinary people, to put it bluntly. It’s just that they all subconsciously disregard them as real people. Once they see the NPC as real people, they will inevitably feel mentally uncomfortable.

Approaching an aunt who was wearing heavy makeup, Wen Lang acted obedient and scared, “Sister, do you know what’s going on? I was standing at the side and then this person fell down with a BANG. It really startled me.”

When the aunt heard how Wen Lang addressed her, she turned her head to look at his sunny and youthful face. A good feeling rose and the aunt pulled Wen Lang closer. She clapped his hands and said, “Aiya, you must be not from here. I tell you, this mall is very evil. 8 people will die here every month. I heard that it’s because 8 coffins were dug up before. The evil spirit inside came out to find a substitute. Young man, let this sister reminds you. Leave before night. It’s spooky here, not sure what kind of accident happen later.”

Lou Fan looked at Wen Lang with shock.

Holy crap, are you for real, Wen Lang? That person is old enough to be your grandmother and you called her Sister? Where is your face (dignity)?! This aunt is also another one. She addressed herself as this sister, she is also amazing!

Wen Lang pulled his hands, but he couldn’t pull them out. The expression on his face became stiff as he continued to ask, “Then… who is the eminent monk you just said?”

“Oh, that eminent monk. It is said that he was invited by the big boss of the shopping mall, but there has been no movement from the monk in the past few days. It’s a problem for this mall to have people jumping off the building every day, although things have been going on like this since it was built. The shops in the south also got instructed to sell only crystals. From what I heard from the boss, it is to suppress demons and ghosts but I don’t see any effect either.”

On the other side, seeing Wen Lang enter the crowd, naturally the people in the Level 10 team also sent people to get information from the NPC. But probably Yuan Jin is not as handsome and well-behaved as Wen Lang, he went to an old man to chat. After saying a few words with a straight face, the old man never spoke again.

Wen Lang glanced at the aunt’s wrinkly dry hand which is currently caressing his hand and swiftly decided to end the conversation as soon as possible. So he asked again, “Where is the eminent monk? Why hasn’t he been seen doing anything since someone has died?”

The aunt’s expression suddenly became mysterious. She looked left and right and hooked her fingers at Wen Lang. Wen Lang paused and glanced to his back, showing a martyred expression before approaching the aunt.

The aunt smiled and whispered to Wen Lang, “I heard that the eminent monk said to wait until the 7th person dies before setting an altar for exorcism.”

Since all the information is almost collected, Wen Lang withdrew his hand forcefully. He thanked the aunt again and turned back to the team. As soon as he returned, he shivered all over and rubbed his hands vigorously, feeling a chill running down his body.

Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang laughed unkindly and laughed so much that they couldn’t straighten their waists. Jiang Dong only smiled sympathetically at Wen Lang. The corners of Qin Tan’s mouth also curved up. He comforted Wen Lang without sincerity, “For the sake of the team, this sacrifice is worth it.”

Lou Fan: “Hahahaha…”

Wen Lang: … He is not comforted at all.

At this moment, a strangely dressed person suddenly appeared in the crowd, calling out ‘Amitabha Buddha’ at the deceased a few times. Then he took out a few tools from the cloth bag he was carrying, walked to the corpse, and squatted down. The person cut a few nails (from hand and feet), and cut a small section of hair. After carefully putting these things into a transparent ziplock bag, the person stood up, followed by another chanting.

Lou Fan’s eyes lit up. This is the eminent monk, the person they should protect for their mission. Looking left and right, Lou Fan decided to go to the monk. One step forward, he walked in front of the eminent monk and greeted him.

“Amitabha, Master, we are sent by the big boss to protect you. My name is Lou Fan.” Lou Fan stepped forward and said. The lie came casually and he said it without even blinking.

Lou Fan deliberately puffed out his chest and made a reliable appearance. Unfortunately, he looks too good-looking. Even if his hair is a little long and blocking his eyes, it will not damage his quiet and calm temperament.

The eminent monk touched his chin as he checked out Lou Fan from head to toe. He is about to speak when Lou Fan grabbed Qin Tan, pointed at him, and said, “Master, this is the leader of our team. All the work is assigned by him. Don’t worry, he is quite fierce.”

The master looked at Qin Tan, his eyes suddenly showed an unspeakable expression. Randomly waving his hands impatiently, he shoo-ed, “Go go go, who wants your protection? When the evil spirits came, can you protect me from them? Aren’t you just adding to the trouble? I’m busy, no time to bother with you.”

Indeed, the master is specialized in dealing with demons and ghosts. He won’t need their protection.

Lou Fan stepped aside to stop the monk and said with a smile, “Master, you see, we have received money from the big boss. If we don’t do anything, we will lose our job soon. We are just trying to earn a living. How about this? You see how strong we are, we can be your assistant. You have no one to help you, doing everything alone is both time and power-consuming. There are 5 of us, more people means more help. If you have anything that you looking for, just say it and we can do it.”

The eminent monk stopped and thought for 2 seconds. He felt that what Lou Fan said made sense and agreed, “Well okay, I won’t make it hard for you. Anyway, I need one or two helpers, you guys are barely acceptable. However, you have to obey my instructions and don’t run around. If you met the evil ghost and got into trouble, I can’t save you. “

“Okay, we promise to be obedient. If you say east, we will never go west.” Lou Fan immediately gave his promise, as if he didn’t hear the disdain in the monk’s words at all.

Chen Changdong came over and said something to Qin Tan. The eminent monk who had already stepped out 2 steps turned around and said, “Come on, what are you doing still standing there?”

This eminent monk looked a little bad-tempered, and he is not as kind-hearted as those eminent monks stated in the legends at all. He just looked like an impatient person. Qin Tan’s team did not delay any longer, they greeted Chen Changdong and followed behind the eminent monk.

Chen Changdong watched as Qin Tan’s team walked out of the crowd and turn around a corner until no one is in sight. He did not delay, and immediately called his other team members, getting ready to find the evil ghosts. The lower-level team has started their mission so they can’t be slow. There are still 8 evil spirits waiting for them.

Liu Yue, the most thoughtful person on the team, stood up. She looked at Chen Changdong and said, “Leader, we are going to seal the evil spirit into the coffin. Do we need to get a yellow talisman or something from that eminent monk? After all, the junior team just mentioned that there is a yellow talisman in the shops on the 5th floor. It should be done by this eminent monk.”

Chen Changdong pondered for a while, and said, “We’ll go upstairs to have a look first. If we need talismans, then we go to the junior team.”

Liu Xing interjected, “Should ask the old monk where the evil ghosts are instead.”

Chen Changdong didn’t speak, turned around, and walked toward the elevator. The other 3 men snickered and followed.

Liu Yue poked Liu Xing in the head, “Will the NPC tells us this kind of key information directly? Can you be more thoughtful?”

Looking at her pouting little sister, Liu Yue sighed, “What if I’m gone one day and you’re still so naive?”

Liu Xing immediately took her sister’s arm and said coquettishly, “Pei, pei, pei (spit) you are not allowed to say such ominous things. We will definitely go back together and our parents are still waiting for us.” Liu Xing said with red eyes, trying hard to endure it so she didn’t cry.

Liu Yue touched Liu Xing’s head and patted the back of her hand, “Follow up, be careful yourself.”

Quickly keeping up with the 4 people in front, Liu Yue asked her sister to walk in the front while she walked the last. She tensed, watching her surroundings vigilantly.

The already gloomy sky is now gloomier as if the torrent rain is about to come. The light inside the mall is generally supposed to be very bright, but it looked very dim at the moment, like a building in disrepair. As soon as they went up to the 4th floor, all members took out their spirit weapons. The cold wind blew from all directions, making people unconsciously feel cold.

“Be alert.” Chen Changdong reminded in a deep voice.

Liu Yue pulled out 2 large thick fans from behind, with sharp blades on the edges; Liu Xing held a ribbon wand in her hand. The tip is an iron cone that stood up sharply.

The spirit weapons of the others are also different. When Chen Changdong’s spirit weapon is taken out, the other members are full of confidence.

…

Lou Fan followed the eminent monk, walking around in the crowd. Finally, they stopped near an exit, then the monk went to a hallway. He stopped outside a small door. Looking at the sign at the door, it reads Staff Lounge.

Pushing the door and going in, the eminent monk said as he walked, “Come in quickly and close the door.”

After entering the door, Lou Fan immediately felt the difference in the air. This staff lounge is not big, and some objects are hanging around, most of which he doesn’t recognize, but he feels warm all over, and the chill from the mall disappears.

The eminent monk walked to the corner and took out a jar. Next, he took out the bag where the nails and hair of the deceased had been placed and took out a yellow talisman. He poured out the contents into the talisman and wrapped it. After putting the talisman into the jar, he sealed the opening.

Jiang Dong whispered from behind, “These should be the things to be used in the exorcism later. This master should be really an expert.”

Chen Shuyang’s eyes suddenly lit up, “How about I go to ask the eminent monk for some teachings?”

“You want to convert to Buddhism?” Lou Fan asked back.

“Uh…” Chen Shuyang stayed silent for a moment before saying, “No, my mother is still waiting for me to marry a wife and have children. But if I can learn something from him, I won’t be afraid of ghosts in the future.”

It makes sense. Lou Fan felt that he should support the decision. “Okay, when the master is free, ask him to teach you a thing or two.”

After the monks over there finished doing this, he began to fiddle with his belongings.

At the back, Wen Lang said, “Brother Qin, you should go and ask him what are we going to do. We can’t just do nothing and watch him like this?”

Qin Tan walked up to the eminent monk with a respectful attitude, “Master, if there is anything we need to do, you can tell me.”

Silence. Even after a long while, the monk didn’t even raise his eyes.

Qin Tan turned his head and spread his hands helplessly at his team.

That’s not right! Lou Fan felt that the script should not be like this! He walked up to the monk and said with a smile, “Master, if you have anything to do, just ask away. Like, what else do you need that we can help you to get?”

After Lou Fan finished speaking, the master raised his head and thought for 2 seconds.

Qin Tan: Is this because his hands are black (unlucky)? NPCs are so realistic!

The monk glanced at Lou Fan and started to calculate something with his fingers. After 2 minutes, he shook his head.

“If you are not afraid, go and get a few crystals from the shops in the south. They must have the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.”

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes? Lou Fan looked blank and is about to ask for an explanation when Chen Shuyang pulled him back.

“Brother Lou, it’s the color of the crystals which gold is golden, wood is green, water is blue, fire is red, and earth is yellow.”

Lou Fan muttered an ‘oh’. As expected from a know-it-all, Chen Shuyang even knows this. On the other hand, he has no knowledge of metaphysics at all, a typical materialist. But now, if he can go back to his original world, he can probably boast a bit about this.
