Chapter 89 The Ghost Infant: Now Behaved
"what!"
"careful!"
Qinghuai was caught off guard and was so frightened by the ghost baby that he didn't know how to react.
He fell to the ground and scrambled to his feet, trying to escape.
At this moment, he didn't care about losing face. He crawled frantically on all fours, his mind focused solely on surviving.
Xiao Jiu Jiu knew he was too late, so he quickly took out another talisman.
Seeing that it was too late to escape, Qinghuai could only take out a bunch of random things from his pocket.
His Taoist robe had already blocked one attack, but there wouldn't be a second.
"Step aside!"
At the critical moment, a small figure blocked the oncoming claws.
"Oh!"
The ghost baby was thrown back, its expression becoming even more ferocious and terrifying.
"Xiao Jiu!" Qin Yuyang exclaimed, his heart leaping into his throat.
That's a demon!
This looks much scarier!
"Beast!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu stared angrily at the ghost baby with a stern face.
The ghost infant roared, its resentment even stronger than before.
His eye sockets, devoid of pupils, met Xiao Jiujiu's gaze.
The target has clearly been identified and is clearly up to something.
"Roar!"
With a scream, the ghost baby rushed towards Xiao Jiu Jiu.
"Xiao Jiu, be careful!" Yu Zhinian shouted, then pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the ghost baby.
That was a net specially made by the bureau to catch ghosts.
The net had been soaked in talismanic water.
Not only that, but they also set up a formation around it, making the ghost-catching process much more efficient.
But the evil spirits of today are extraordinary.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the ghost baby trapped in the net broke free and continued rushing towards Xiao Jiujiu's location.
Over there, Xiao Jiu Jiu had already taken a new talisman out of her pocket.
Although the talisman was still yellow, the red cinnabar on it had turned dark red, even a bit purplish.
"Get out of the way, Xiao Jiu."
Qin Yuyang was both afraid and worried.
He was afraid that he would ruin Xiao Jiu Jiu's plan, and he was also worried that Xiao Jiu Jiu would get hurt.
Xiao Jiujiu coldly replied, "It's alright, I have my own way."
"Hehe..." The ghost baby's low, hoarse voice rang out as it arrived in front of Xiao Jiu Jiu, extending its sharp claws.
"Snapped!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu squatted down without changing her expression and slapped the talisman in her hand hard on the ghost baby's forehead.
She muttered to herself, "Heaven and earth, nature, foul air..."
As he recited it, Xiao Jiu's voice grew louder and louder, the volume increased, and his pronunciation became clear and accurate.
As the incantation grew clearer, the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted on the ghost infant's forehead.
After reciting the last word, Xiao Jiu Jiu opened her eyes and coldly said, "Break!"
"what!"
A scream rang out, and the talisman exploded on the ghost baby's forehead.
Moreover, the room emitted a dazzling, pale golden light.
These are all natural reactions of the talisman paper, making the whole room very bright.
"what!"
The ghost baby lying on the ground started rolling around on the ground, as if it were being burned by raging fire.
"My peach wood sword has arrived!"
Qinghuai held a peach wood sword and chanted the incantation his master had taught him.
Just then, the peach wood sword suddenly burst into flames.
Little Nine-Nine quickly flew a talisman over.
The sword instantly burst into flames!
"Amazing!"
Qinghuai gripped the sword with both hands and thrust it towards the ghost infant on the ground without hesitation.
"Ah!" The ghost baby's shrill scream rang out.
First came anger, then misery, and finally, she burst into tears.
"Meow~"
It seems to be returning to normal a bit.
Seeing that it was working, Qinghuai excitedly raised the peach wood sword on his phone: "Let's see if you dare to cause trouble again!"
He pulled out the sword, and Qinghuai was about to stab a second time.
"Wait, stop!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly called out to Qing Huai, "It's not as frantic as it was before, so there's no need for another sword strike."
Walking up to the ghost baby, Xiao Jiu Jiu tore off the talisman from its forehead.
"Woooooooo..."
A low sob began.
The ghost baby huddled together, too afraid to move.
His body shrank even smaller, like a deflated balloon.
Ghost baby: I've behaved, please let me go!
Qinghuai looked completely bewildered as he held the peach wood sword.
The flames flickered, reflecting his ugly expression.
He almost killed a ghost baby just now.
This is the time to prove your strength.
"It's an evil spirit, it's bad, why are you stopping me?" Qinghuai thought Xiaojiujiu was just being ridiculous.
Yu Zhinian reached out and stopped Qinghuai: "Listen to what Xiao Jiu has to say first. Don't get so emotional."
Qinghuai: ...
Ignoring them, Xiao Jiu Jiu felt that the ghost infant could still be saved, so she squatted down beside it and looked at it gently:
"Why are you crying? Do you remember who turned you into this? You can tell me anything."
The crying ghost baby suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
It gave up struggling, its empty eyes falling on Xiao Jiu Jiu, looking at her with a sense of disbelief.
This...this human can understand me?
"Meow~"
The coal ball cried out, its green eyes fixed on it.
Little Nine-Nine poked the ghost baby's body and frowned: "What are you standing there for? Speak up!"
"Hey~"
The ghost baby's originally ferocious expression gradually softened.
It made whimpering sounds, as if it were crying out for something.
"do not Cry!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out and, enduring the stench, touched the ghost baby.
The ghost baby rubbed against her palm like a kitten, leaving behind a reddish-yellow sticky substance.
It was a mixture of blood and corpse oil.
"How...how did it become like this?" Qinghuai stared in disbelief.
This ghost baby was so fierce just now, how come it has become so docile in the blink of an eye?
Xiao Jiujiu said helplessly, "It shouldn't be bad, we need to find out more."
Yu Zhinian was staring at this place from over there.
Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out and touched the ghost baby's eye sockets.
It was indeed empty.
She listened to the ghost baby's intermittent, whimpering sounds and felt something was strange.
It seems to only be able to make monosyllable sounds and can't communicate with her.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out and pried open the ghost baby's mouth.
The mouth, emitting a foul stench, was missing its tongue.
"When it was alive, its eyes were gouged out and its tongue was pulled out, so it can't see or speak, it can only hear."
Patting the ghost baby, Xiao Jiujiu confirmed, "Is that right?"
"Ahhh!" The ghost baby nodded.
Yu Zhinian was somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong, Brother Yu?"
Xiao Jiujiu looked up at Yu Zhinian.
Qinghuai, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned and dared not interrupt.
Yu Zhinian thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed a question, but I don't know if it's convenient for me to ask you."
"Ask away, I'll tell you what I know." Xiao Jiujiu blinked, her beautiful eyes looking at Yu Zhinian.
Yu Zhinian stared at the ghost baby for a moment before asking, "I want to know, how can we determine if its tongue was pulled out before it was born?"
"It's very simple."
Xiao Jiujiu thought he was going to ask something, but that was it.
She explained, "If it was tortured after death, it will remain in the state it was in before it died, and it will not be affected."
If the torture occurred before death, these wounds will remain even after death.
Yu Zhinian nodded: "I understand!"
