Chapter 010: Deaths in Peach Village

However, this is not the time to think about such things. Han Sifan took out a wooden dagger, likely made of peach wood, which was engraved with some small runes. Then, she was about to stab it into Brother Xiang's right chest. I quickly exclaimed, "Sister, you can't do that! Someone could get killed!"

Can I go slowly? This is a matter of life and death. I am running with all my might, and behind me, Xiang Ge is also running extremely fast. Just halfway through, I suddenly collided at the intersection with Han Sifan, who was distributing drinks while holding a cola. Truly, heaven is helping me; the heavens do not want me to die

Oh. I came to my senses and hurried over to lift Xiang Ge onto my shoulder. He was as stiff as a board, completely rigid. I ran towards the alley, and although it was only about ten meters, carrying a person while sprinting is easier said than done. By the time I had run two meters into the alley, I could no longer bear it and dropped Xiang Ge onto the ground. Han Sifan's fingers also detached from the center of Xiang Ge's forehead.

It was only later that I realized that the person who said ghosts cannot come out during the day was simply misleading. As long as there is no sunlight, they can come out at any time; it's just that many ghosts prefer not to go out during the day, much like how people dislike going out at night. However, noon is an exception, as it is when the yang energy is at its peak during the day. But now it is afternoon, and looking at the sky today, it seems like it is about to rain, so the likelihood of the sun coming out is quite low. I could only hurry towards the old superstitious person's place. Perhaps due to the impending rain, there were not many people on the street, just a few elderly ladies collecting clothes.

"If I don't hurry, I might really end up reincarnating. My dear aunt, my brother Xiang is possessed by a ghost, quickly help me get rid of him!" I ran behind Han Sifan, lacking any semblance of masculinity, and hid. However, it wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that; one could only say that Han Sifan's combat power is far beyond that of an ordinary girl, reaching the level of a Saiyan. Indeed, when Han Sifan saw Xiang's condition, she sensed something was off. She charged forward and delivered a series of kicks to Xiang's abdomen, it was incredibly cool, just like a scene from a movie. However, Xiang did not fly backward; instead, he stood his ground, as steady as a mountain.

Han Sifan charged forward and kicked Xiang Ge in the chest, but it was not an attack; rather, he used the momentum to propel himself in front of Xiang Ge. Then, he bit down on his right middle finger and vigorously rubbed it against Xiang Ge's forehead, before Han Sifan shouted in a particularly cool manner: "Pardon!"

What are you afraid of? It's just a picture book on the right side of the chest, and it doesn't have a heart! It won't die; it's not a big deal. Han Sifan glanced at me and said, "Or do you want to perform a ritual to help this water ghost? Such a ghost should be dealt with directly to make it lose its soul and spirit.

Just as I was sighing, I heard Han Sifan's scolding voice beside me: "What are you doing? Hurry up and come help!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Ge surprisingly became completely still

Han Sifan snorted and frowned, saying: "That's not right. The ghost just now didn't seem like a Water Mang Ghost. If a Water Mang Ghost possesses you, it would definitely take you to a deserted place to make you its scapegoat. Why pursue Chen Hui?"

"Can't you see the ghosts? Isn't it said that you can see them with cow tears?" I asked in confusion. Brother Xiang stood up, rubbed his neck, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "The craft of making cow tears has long been lost. A few years ago, it could be squandered freely, but now there are hardly any bottles left, and it's simply unattainable. Cough, cough, my dear lady, you really are quite ruthless."

The miraculous nature of Chinese Taoist arts is evident here; just now, Han Sifan's fierce attack could not move him in the slightest, yet now, with this method, he can be rendered immobile. It is truly astonishing

Brother Xiang broke into a brilliant smile and said: "Just now, at the critical moment between life and death, I unleashed the power I have cultivated for many years to suppress that ghost within my body. I am fine now"

After finishing the call, Brother Xiang looked at the two of us with a gloomy expression and said: "Someone in Peach Village has died! It seems to be the work of the Water Monster!"

How did you manage that? I asked

Han Sifan looked at Xiang Ge and seemed to realize that he was truly fine. Only then did he stand up, glance around, and frown as he said, "That ghost is too difficult to deal with, sigh!"

Seeing both Xiang and me running wildly, one in front and the other behind, I didn't take it to heart. After all, they had watched us grow up. However, as we ran past, they still reminded us: "Hui and Xiang, slow down."

Suddenly, Xiang Ge shouted, "No, no, Miss, don't stab! It's me, Xiang Ge, your little Xiang Ge! Calm down, girl!" His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the dagger, still swallowing saliva.

This girl probably doesn't have much affection for Xiang Ge, but I do, after all, I grew up with him. In such a critical moment, I still have to save him. I said: "Auntie, how about this? You first knock him out, and we can go find the old superstitious person to take a look?"

After taking those two kicks and still standing firm like a mountain, I couldn't help but admire it, of course, I admired that ghost, not Brother Xiang. If it were me, I would have already collapsed on the library floor. As for Brother Xiang, he would probably have just passed out. After Han Sifan kicked, he shouted at me: "I'll hold him down for a bit, you carry him to that alley over there and take care of him!"

Suddenly, Xiang Ge's phone rang. While rubbing his neck, he answered the call and asked, "Who is it? What? Alright, I'll be there right away!" Upon receiving the information, his expression changed dramatically.

"Are you saying that the ghost is still inside your body?" Han Sifan raised his hand again to poke.

What a joke, this is so frustrating! I was originally very confident in my Fire Charm. I thought it would at least injure the demon in my house, if not defeat it outright. But to my surprise, it only sparked a little on its forehead. Where is the promised fire that burns cities?

At that time, Han Sifan greeted the two of us first. Seeing us running frantically, she asked, "Why are you two running so urgently? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Brother Xiang shouted loudly: "No, no, it was that ghost who saw your might, terrified and ran away. It has nothing to do with me, truly, by the heavens and the earth, I swear."

In any case, I dared not stay in the house any longer, nor did I expect that splashing it would do any harm. I turned and ran outside. It was only three in the afternoon, but the sky was overcast, with thick clouds blocking the sun. As soon as I stepped out of my building, I let out a sigh of relief, thinking that surely the ghost wouldn't follow me out here. However, when I looked back, it was Xiang Ge—no, I should say that wretched ghost had actually chased after me. The sight made my hair stand on end. Wasn't it said that ghosts couldn't come out during the day?

I also did not dare to tell Han Sifan, fearing that she would be angry, and could only cough lightly and say: "Perhaps it is because I am relatively handsome."

What are you looking for? Don't you believe me? Today, I am determined! When this lady heard me mention old superstitions, it seemed to provoke her, and she grabbed a dagger to stab me. I saw her with the dagger, and I couldn't stop her.

The alley that Han Sifan mentioned is the same one where they encountered the Water Mang Ghost a couple of days ago. Although there are few people on this street, there are still some individuals present. They currently do not seem to notice anything unusual, thinking it is just a few young people playing around. However, who knows what might happen if a fight breaks out later

I see, no wonder this girl is so ruthless; it turns out she took him for a water ghost. Although I also want to deal with this vengeful spirit directly, I must consider Brother Xiang's safety. According to Han Sifan, if the dagger is plunged into his right chest, everything will be fine. Why complicate matters so much

However, before Xiang Ge could sit up, Han Sifan directly kicked him hard in the neck with his knee, applying great force. I felt a jolt in my heart, wondering if Xiang Ge's neck would be broken by the kick
