Chapter 11: A clean place

We only stared at each other for a second, and the little demon didn’t hesitate to pounce on my head. At this point, what other choice did I have? I had to throw out the willow whip…

When the willow whip fell, something incredible happened. The spirit was dispersed by the whip. What was going on? This reminded me of the spirit at the gate that was dispersed by my shout.

I suddenly felt like I had caught something again, but I wasn’t sure.

But now I’m in this hallway, and I don’t know how much danger there is. These things don’t kill people, but if they land on your head or shoulders, it’s not something that can be resolved in a day or two. After all, the forehead and shoulders are where people’s luck resides.

Don’t underestimate these bad luck. If you are having a bad luck, it might be fatal if it is accumulated. Just like those people who died in accidents for no reason.

Thinking about this, I took out the three-pronged bell and started to shake it according to one of the fixed methods. This method is the most commonly used by Taoist priests and is also the most widely spread. It only has one function 鈥� to drive away.

It can drive away ghosts and demons, and it can also drive them to a fixed place.

As the bells swayed, the entire corridor became much clearer, but this gentle method was definitely not omnipotent. At least when I passed by the toilet, I still felt a kind of uncertain, unexplained danger.

But I ignored it and walked straight into An Yu’s company. I was going to rest here until after 11 o’clock and then look for a way to break the spell.

Maybe An Yu’s company is the most dangerous place in the whole plot, but there’s no way around it. My master and I have one thing in common: we’re definitely people who like to be comfortable. Except for An Yu’s company, all the other places are empty. I can’t possibly sit around in an empty place, can I?

I took the key An Yu gave me and entered An Yu’s company. It was dark inside. Standing at the door, I could hear some indistinct sounds, like someone talking or walking around, but when I listened carefully, I couldn’t tell where they were coming from, as if they were coming from a distance.

This kind of noise is just child’s play to me. I don’t feel anything. The only thing that surprises me is that it’s a little cleaner than the hallway outside. What’s the reason for this? Isn’t it directed at An Yu? It’s impossible to think so. Who is it directed at? You can tell by looking at who the biggest victim is.

It seems that the female worker is the biggest victim, but she was really pregnant, so it was an unjustified disaster. And the office building did not stop being clean because of her victimization.

Therefore, all of this can only be directed at An Yu. If things continue like this, An Yu’s situation will definitely be worse than that of the female worker.

But why is it that An Yu’s company is so quiet? I thought I had learned a lot and could judge everything, but now it seems that I’m still a little off.

Thinking this way, I turned on the lights in the office. Sure enough, the lights flickered a bit, and it took a while for them to stabilize and emit a foggy light.

To be honest, it wasn’t the ghosts in the office that were causing the problem. Their own energy fields can indeed affect the electromagnetic field and cause the lights to react in this way, but a single ghost is not enough, unless it is a group of ghosts.

In other words, although the office is relatively clean, it is also very lively. If I were interested in opening my third eye, I would probably see a group of ghosts working overtime in the office late at night.

It’s quite humorous. People work during the day, and ghosts work at night.

I put away the three-ring bell and walked in. It was dark, but not sinister. I didn’t need to use the three-ring bell to drive them away. Although ordinary people who stay with them for a long time will affect their own luck and health, my years of practice have not been in vain. At least, it has little effect on me.

I didn’t bother to think about what attitude these ghosts would have towards my sudden intrusion. I just walked along, saying, “Everyone, I’m here to do business, but I’m not targeting you. It’s best for everyone not to affect each other. I don’t collect from you, and you don’t bother me. I’m tired, buddy.”

I greeted everyone along the way, found a desk that looked a little bigger and cleaner, turned on my computer, dialed up the Internet, and found that there was even a game called “World of Warcraft” on the computer. So I went in and started playing Tetris.

While playing, I thought to myself, this Anyu is not bad to its employees, with computers and internet access, and there are even games to play on the computers in the office.

But this is a helpless situation. After all, it is not easy to work in this haunted office building. If you don’t treat your employees well, I’m afraid they will all leave. Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but think wickedly that if I looked carefully, I might find Red Alert on the computer. I wouldn’t be lonely tonight.

The computer lights flickered on and off. I lit a cigarette and played Tetris with someone else. I didn’t care at all that there were sometimes a few faint shadows reflected on the screen.

I guess it’s because they’re new to watching me play games that they’ve all gathered around. I can tell by my butt that there’s a lot of activity going on around me right now, and a group of people are gathered around me watching me play games.

But if you have a positive aura, you are naturally invulnerable to all evil. The confrontation between people and ghosts is like the confrontation between the yin and yang auras. How can people be afraid of them? If you are afraid of your own aura, you will be weak, and if you are weak, you will give them the opportunity to take advantage of you.

I guess these friends couldn’t find any opportunity to “tease” me, so they would appear on the screen from time to time, trying to scare me.

Unfortunately, I don’t give them any face, and I don’t care at all.

After playing a while of Tetris, I realized that I was a little hungry. I completely forgot about dinner when I picked up An Yu and Su Rou this afternoon, and only then did I feel very hungry.

When you are in a standoff with ghosts, you must eat when you are hungry. Not eating is not nutritious, and not being nutritious will lead to a lack of blood, which will make you panic. Of course, this is not a good consequence. Although I am a Taoist priest, I still cannot ignore these details.

Let’s work after we eat!

Thinking of this, I stood up. An Yu had told me to go to his office and stay there. There was good wine and good cigarettes on the desk and in the cabinet, and there was always some miscellaneous food in the desk for me to eat and drink as I pleased. There was also a lounge for me to rest in when I was tired.

I originally planned to go there at first, but this big office is a little too “clean,” so I naturally think that An Yu’s office must be hiding something evil. After all, this plan is aimed at An Yu, and ghosts also have territories, don’t they?

It’s like in the forest, a lion’s territory won’t allow the presence of another lion’s territory, not to mention a lion’s territory, a single lion won’t do either.

So I didn’t want to go to An Yu’s office. I came here to rest and recharge my batteries. I didn’t want to be in a battle with ghosts before the show even started.

But no matter how big the problem is, it can’t be bigger than hunger. After thinking about it, I realized that there might be something big inside, so I took out something from my cloth bag鈥攖he Emperor’s ruler.

This is a magic weapon that my master likes to use. Because it is relatively merciful, this magic weapon is not only very powerful in driving away evil spirits, but also has a certain degree of conversion. The most important thing is that it has the effect of suppressing the three altars. Just put it on the table and it can suppress the whole audience, which is very impressive.

However, in order to be effective, the magic weapon must be nurtured for many years, and it must be used in conjunction with a certain mantra to activate its power.

Ordinary people holding it can only use it as a peach wood board.

I put away the willow whip and took the emperor’s ruler. I turned off the computer and waved my hand behind me, saying, “It’s over. It’s over. Don’t look anymore. Go play.”

Then I walked straight to An Yu’s office. As I walked, I already began to recite the mantra in my mind, holding the emperor ruler in my hand. My entire body’s power also rushed to the emperor ruler with my thoughts. After all, this was just a show, not a fight against ghosts. My power was more than enough. If I were fighting ghosts, I wouldn’t be able to hold the emperor ruler for long.

With a cautious heart, I took the key and opened the door to An Yu’s office. I had to be careful. If that big guy was lying on the door, I would open the door and it would pounce on me. It would be very troublesome to expel it. If it was more powerful, it might even fight me for control of the body. If I, a Taoist, were possessed by a ghost, that would be too humorous.

But in fact, nothing strange happened until I pressed the light switch and sat down in An Yu’s office. His office was in stark contrast to the large office outside.

How to say it, it’s like the contrast between the world of the living and the world of the dead!

An Yu’s office is naturally the world of the living, clean as can be. What is going on? I am getting more and more confused.
