Chapter 0004: The Death of Lin Tao (Part One)
"One is monolid, and the other is double eyelid. Don't you know yourself?" Lin Yihan winked at Zhang Zekai
The ghost, seeing Zhang Zekai evade its grasp, seemed somewhat enraged. It let out a furious shout into the void and lunged at him again
This jade pendant was given to Zhang Zekai by my grandfather back in the day. It is said to be a legacy of Longshi Mountain, known as the Dragon Heart Jade
The sudden attack by the ghost startled Zhang Zekai. In a panic, he retreated and fell to the ground, narrowly avoiding the opponent's grasp.
Zhang Zekai stood in the corridor, watching Bai Xiaoman's figure disappear from his sight. For some reason, he always felt as if a pair of blood-red eyes were watching him in the darkness, sending a shiver down his spine. That intense feeling of being watched filled his heart. Zhang Zekai raised his eyebrows and pondered: Could there be something unclean?
It has been a month since Zhang Zekai entered the Medical University. He has gained a preliminary understanding of the university, which has a history of nearly one hundred years. Moreover, it is rumored that the predecessor of this Medical University was a mass grave. No wonder the university has such a heavy atmosphere of negativity. The university itself has a high female population. Females are associated with the yin energy, and combined with the feng shui of the mass grave, it is not surprising that some malevolent entities may arise.
During the month since entering the medical university, Zhang Zekai has been searching for news about Jiang Xiaoyue through various means. However, what perplexes him is that he cannot find any information about Jiang Xiaoyue at all. Jiang Xiaoyue is merely one year his senior; even if she had only attended for a few months before disappearing, it shouldn't be that there is absolutely no news about her. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Zekai is a fellow villager of Jiang Xiaoyue, he might even think that she never came to this school at all.
Binding Spell
Zhang Zekai felt delighted to sense that the true essence within him, which had not progressed for a long time, had increased somewhat. It seems that what grandfather said was correct; indeed, engaging in the extermination of demons and capturing ghosts can truly enhance one's true essence
Zhang Zekai looked at Lin Yihan with some confusion
Zhang Zekai's expression was solemn. He muttered incantations under his breath. The yellow paper in his hand flew away.
Zhang Zekai looked at Lin Yihan, who left like the wind, and let out a bitter smile. He took out a mirror to check. Indeed, one eye was double-lidded while the other was single-lidded. He clearly remembered that he had always been single-lidded!
"Your eyes are so special!" Lin Yihan said with a smile as she looked at Zhang Zekai
Guo Jie chuckled, "Hehe, perhaps he should go back first! I heard he recently started dating a girlfriend! The two of them are quite affectionate with each other!"
The binding spell broke... and that ghost evaded once again
Zhang Zekai sat alone in the corner, nibbling on sunflower seeds
Zhang Zekai let out a quiet sigh. Suddenly, he remembered Bai Xiaoman, who had not returned after such a long time, and felt a bit worried. Just as he was about to go look for Bai Xiaoman, a piercing scream suddenly rang out
Is it because I have opened the Yin-Yang Eye? Zhang Zekai murmured
Zhang Zekai looked up and discovered that the speaker was Lin Yihan. She had large eyes, an oval face, and fair, delicate skin, sporting a trendy pear blossom hairstyle. She was pure and adorable. Indeed, she lived up to the title of the department's flower.
He seems to have just gone out to the restroom..." Chen Yanfang said
Zhang Zekai was drenched in sweat, and the feeling of being stared at by a female ghost who was far stronger than him was certainly unpleasant. Just as he was contemplating whether to take the initiative, the female ghost vanished.
Zhang Zekai felt a bit awkward, scratching his head and saying somewhat shyly: "I wasn't trying to deceive you just now, I simply forgot the formula... it was an accident... an accident..."
After the dinner gathering, President Guo Jie expressed his confusion, saying: "Where is Lin Tao? Wasn't he supposed to come?"
The president of the art club, Guo Jie, is a senior in his fourth year. He is very generous in nature. Although he is in his fourth year, it is said that he still plans to take the graduate entrance examination, so he does not feel the pressure of finding a job. He remains very concerned about the activities of the club. Today's gathering is personally hosted by him
... ...
The Supreme Old Lord commands urgently, driving away demons and manifesting divine powers ... ... Binding talisman
"You wretched being, I originally intended to help you find peace. However, your resentment runs too deep. Do not blame me for what follows."
The vengeful gaze of the specter fixed upon Zhang Zekai, and the terrifying appearance sent a chill through his heart
After the club meeting concluded, it was Zhang Zekai and a girl named Bai Xiaoman's turn to be responsible for the club's cleanliness today
Yet it remains calm and tranquil, with nothing appearing
After the people at the gathering left, the entire club building appeared desolate. The silence was terrifying. Bai Xiaoman went to fetch a broom and dustpan, asking Zhang Zekai to wait there.
"Hehe, no one is paying attention to me, so I guess I'm all alone!" Zhang Zekai chuckled
Zhang Zekai touched his nose and smiled wryly: Does it look a bit strange like this
Ah ... ... '' Ah ... ... ''
As Zhang Zekai shouted, he threw the Heavenly Fire Talisman in his hand. The talisman transformed into a fireball the size of a bowl, landing on the body of the ghost.
"Are you trying to deceive me?" The ghost looked at Zhang Zekai with great reluctance.
Seeing the talisman in Zhang Zekai's hand, the ghost swayed and avoided it. Realizing that nothing had happened, it was instantly filled with shame and anger, and pounced towards Zhang Zekai with claws bared.
Zhang Zekai felt a jolt in his heart; this seemed to be Bai Xiaoman's voice
Even Zhang Zekai came to the class where Jiang Xiaoyue was to inquire. However, those senior students all appeared confused, as if they did not recognize this person at all. Moreover, the expressions of those senior students did not seem to be feigned. This deepened Zhang Zekai's doubts, but he did not give up. He was determined to find out the truth, whether alive or dead, and resolved to investigate until he uncovered the facts.
After entering the medical university, Zhang Zekai joined the art club to better integrate into university life and to make new friends. In the dormitory of six people, apart from Zhang Zekai, who has some background in painting, the others are completely ignorant of art. They joined the art club purely to pursue girls. Among the hundreds of clubs at the medical university, the art club is known for having a relatively high number of beautiful women. For instance, Lin Yihan, the belle of the clinical department, is also in the art club.
However, he has been gone for about half an hour, right? Why hasn't he returned yet? Lu Dekai was also somewhat puzzled
Zhang Zekai opened his eyes again, this time activating his Yin-Yang eyes. Indeed, in the void ten meters away from him, a white shadow was floating. Long hair covered her face, and her blood-red gaze was fixed directly on him, sending a chill down Zhang Zekai's spine. This was a female ghost. The resentment emanating from her was extremely strong. Zhang Zekai was certain that he was absolutely no match for her.
Upon hearing Guo Jie say this, the crowd did not speak further.
Zhang Zekai does not keep his yin-yang eyes open at all times, but only activates them when necessary. Otherwise, seeing unclean things from time to time is not beneficial for him. Fortunately, his grandfather once taught him how to close his yin-yang eyes
After looking around and seeing no one, Zhang Zekai quietly returned to his dormitory and lay down to sleep
With the wailing of that ghost, it quickly turned to ashes. A surge of energy flew into the jade pendant on Zhang Zekai's chest
After Zhang Zekai dealt with the ghost, he let out a sigh of relief. This ghost-catching was more challenging than he had anticipated. This ghost was not even considered the lowest level of spirit, yet he still found himself in a somewhat perilous situation. He realized that he needed to be more cautious in this regard in the future
On that evening, all the members of the art club bought a variety of snacks to hold their monthly gathering within the club. Zhang Zekai and others were participating in this event for the first time, and they were having a great time.
Although I just eliminated a ghost, I did not disturb anyone in the dormitory. After all, a ghost is not a physical entity; apart from myself, no one else can see it
The True Lord of Heavenly Fire manifests the heavenly fire, swift as the law commands! Heavenly Fire Technique..." Zhang Zekai exclaimed.
"Go to hell, I want to eat you..." The ghost roared, a wave of sinister energy rapidly expanding from its body, seemingly attempting to break through Zhang Zekai's immobilization technique
Zhang Zekai remembered hearing his grandfather say that single eyelids represent yin, while double eyelids represent yang. Having one single eyelid and one double eyelid perfectly aligns with the principles of yin and yang
During the gathering, the most popular person was clearly the campus belle, Lin Yihan. Many senior students sought to engage her in conversation, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Even several of Zhang Zekai's dormitory mates were the same. Only Zhang Zekai refrained from wading into this murky water
A beam of golden light suddenly burst forth. The ghost was instantly immobilized by Zhang Zekai
The ghost was instantly enraged. With a fierce howl, it lunged towards Zhang Zekai
"How is one person?" A silver bell-like laughter rang in his ears
