Chapter 374: There's a Reason for Everything

rom your body can be smelled miles away.”Tong Hui's face twitched uncontrollably, which was also the reason she was so desperate to find a new body."Hmph! Since you won't drink, then don't blame me fo...Xiao Zhang brought Lian Yi back to the office, leading her to his desk and placing a manila folder in front of her.

"This is information about a haunted house. Master Wu, please take your time and read it." Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"Good job, you go busy!"

Ripples opened the file bag and at a glance, looked through the data.

Xiao Zhang did not disturb the other party, but quickly went to see the project team leader and relayed what Lian Yi had said at the hospital.

"It's rare that this mage didn't protect his own kind. Since others don't care, we shouldn't worry about them either. Besides, the medical expenses and lost wages for our injured colleagues should be settled now."

The slim project manager smiled and said.

"Captain, wouldn't this offend those mages"

Xiao Zhang still asked a question.

Because some cases encounter bottlenecks or require the intervention of wizards, they seek help from the Wizard Association. Of course, not all wizards are infallible. In such cases, to ensure future cooperation, they generally do not pursue legal action.

"Not this time."

The team leader confidently stated, then picked up the phone on the table and called the Mage Association. He briefly explained the failure of the Yubiyao mission, the fact that personnel were injured, and brought Wu Lianyi out to testify.

"The thing is, we originally thought that as long as Master Wu could handle things properly, we wouldn't pursue responsibility. "

But Master Wu was very principled. He said that Jade Bihua had taken on a task beyond her capabilities, breaking the rules of Xuan Kun Men, and demanded that we explain the situation to the Association, revoke Jade Bihua's sorcerer status, and she was willing to testify.

The group leader's last words were the most important.

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then said they would send someone to investigate and punish Yubi Yao according to the rules of the Sorcerer's Association.

The Association of Mages is very quick to act. After hanging up the phone, they contacted Ripple immediately.

"Wu Lianyi, we received a complaint from the Municipal Public Security Bureau about Yu Bixiao, and they mentioned that you are a witness in this case."

At this moment, the ripples had just finished reading the case file. After connecting the video call, she closed the files in front of her and said in a soft voice:

"Yes! This isn't the first time Yu Bi Yao has operated outside the rules. This time, the damage caused is the most severe. Even though I'm her senior sister, I can't keep cleaning up after her messes!"

"This isn't helping her, it's harming her. What she's doing goes against the teachings of our school. I'm afraid if she continues like this, she'll cause even bigger trouble and ultimately become a practitioner of dark arts."

"Wu Lianyi, you need to know that your accusations are very serious, especially since you are both from the same sect."

The man in black, facing the camera, asked solemnly.

"Puchi," Ripple chuckled, then spoke.

"You think this is a fight between us sisters Well, even in a fight, you need to be evenly matched! Her Xuan force level is only barely at level four, while mine is practically maxed out. Do you really think I'd waste my time targeting her"

The man across from her didn't say a word, clearly he had heard of Wu Lianyi's name.

"Figure out the truth yourselves! I'm only stating facts."

After Lian Yi finished speaking, she hung up the video call directly. It was getting dark, and she needed to get ready to go to the haunted house.

Xiao Zhang appeared at the right moment, taking Lian'er for dinner. Afterward, he drove her around half the city before stopping in a villa district on its outskirts. He expertly parked his car outside the infamous house.

Staring at the two-story detached villa before her, Ripples quickly matched it with the photo in the file. She didn't rush into the house, but looked around and said to Xiaozhang:

"Wait for me in the car."

"OK."

Xia Zhang immediately replied and then handed a small walkie-talkie to Ripple.

"Master Wu, this is a signal-amplified walkie-talkie. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After taking the ripples, he walked straight through the warning line and pushed open the door to the room, entering the villa.

With a loud bang, the villa door automatically closed.

Xia Zhang saw the door close and immediately took three steps back, then two more, returning to his car. He parked a little farther away, then nervously stared at the haunted house, clutching an amulet in his hand and muttering words under his breath.

The closed door didn't affect the ripples. She raised her hand and pulled out the evil-infused dagger. As soon as she drew it out a little, a cloud of black mist emerged from the blade and, upon hitting the ground, transformed into a human form.

This is the evil spirit forced out from those five people. The other party originally wanted to possess Yu Biyao, but Yu Biyao pushed the five people around her out to take the blame, while she herself escaped successfully.

But this evil spirit's belief was very strong. He knew that possessing one person wouldn't last long before that person died, so he split himself into five parts and possessed five different people, successfully leaving the haunted house.

But when he wanted to merge, he encountered waves of exorcists, consuming him and the person he possessed at the same time. Just as the evil spirit was preparing for a final blow, ripples appeared.

She not only drove the evil spirit's avatars out of the five people's bodies, but also used her relic to eliminate the residual evil qi on them. Finally, she imprisoned the combined evil spirit, which was not her opponent, in her dagger.

"You went to so much trouble to leave here, what exactly do you want to do"

Ripples asked directly.

If this spirit was out to harm people, the five of them would be dead by now.

"I just want revenge. It was that sorcerer who trapped me in this mansion!"

The evil spirit only revealed a pale face, that of a woman.

"You're talking about Jade Beryl She really doesn't have that kind of skill."

The ripple raised an eyebrow and said.

"He's the wizard who is related to her by blood!"

The woman bared her cold teeth, her voice rising.

Ripple was stunned. She hadn't expected this matter to be related to the original owner's master.

She took out her phone, flipped through the photo album for a while, found the only photo of the three master and disciples together, and pointed at Liang Feng's face and asked:

"Is that him"

"It's him!!!"

The evil spirit seemed to be greatly stimulated, instantly transforming into a ball of black air, swirling throughout the entire villa, muttering to itself:

"It was he who helped that bastard, who caused us to die and be unable to leave here. We are repeatedly reliving the horrors of our deaths, we refuse to accept it! We refuse to accept it! We refuse to accept it!"

The last three words kept echoing within the villa, and ripples heard a response, not just from the evil spirit before her, but also from other souls.

As expected, the next moment, a white shadow emerged from the wall, encircling ripples in the middle.

You guys are in this together!

The evil spirit raged.

Ripple rubbed her ears, which were throbbing from the shock, and untied the red ribbon in her hair. With a flick of her wrist, she lashed out at the evil spirit, causing it to dissipate instantly. After a minute, it reformed, but the black aura surrounding it seemed slightly weaker.

And the white spirits that had been circling her before, sensing the threat, instantly retreated back into the wall.

"Can we talk properly now"

Before retracting, it turned into a red ribbon like a whip, and asked in a soft voice.

"Yes."

The evil spirit was very well-behaved and immediately learned its lesson after being beaten up.nd asking in a low voice:"Brother, are you alright"“I’m fine, let’s go back and talk. Brother had good luck today and caught a rabbit.”Wen Zhaoming's expression softened instantly, and he patted his s...
