Chapter 539: Chapter 539: The Baby Shadow that Bites Off Heads_1

Wei Shuxian mused, "No matter what, as things stand, every move we make is under others’ watchful eyes. For now, it’s best to keep still and leave this place, lying in wait on the side."

"I agree with Glasses’ idea."

You nodded, "That’s right, it’s much safer this way. However, before we do that, I need to clarify something. It’s the source of the evil energy on Ruan Yuling, which is by no means ordinary. There must be a big secret hidden in it."

"So what do we do now?" Xian Qianling looked at you.

Glancing up at the staircase, you smiled and said, "Head to the conference room where Ruan Yuling got infected."

Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help saying, "Now that Old Shu mentions it, I realize we seem to have missed that conference room."

As he spoke, Yang Kai turned to Wei Shuxian, "Hey, Glasses, where’s the conference room?"

Wei Shuxian stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, "Top floor."

"You gotta be kidding me, nine floors to climb?"

While Yang Kai complained, four Thousand Paper Cranes had already self-ignited.

By now, you had already started up the stairs.

The group of six vigorously climbed to the top floor; except for the panting Yang Kai, everyone else breathed evenly.

Wei Shuxian looked at Yang Kai and couldn’t help sighing lightly, "Little Kai, you really need to start exercising. If you keep this up, you’ll only ever be in the company of Zongzi."

Liao Yong also sighed softly, "If he would take advice, he wouldn’t be in this state now, doing nothing but sleeping and eating, eating and sleeping."

Turning to look at Yang Kai, you teased, "Kai Zi, listen to that, even Black Bull is giving you a hard time now. Let me tell you, don’t think Nie Ying can’t do without you just because you have her wrapped around your finger; we’re no longer in the era where touching hands means she has to marry you. If she runs off with someone else, don’t hope to find another like her in your lifetime."

"Crow’s mouth, pah, pah, pah!" Yang Kai jumped as if someone stepped on his tail, "You don’t know jack, Brother here is practicing the Taoist bedroom arts. I need my wife to gather yin first before she can supply me with even more yang!"

While speaking, Yang Kai wrapped his arms around Nie Ying’s waist, nuzzling his face against hers and said with a chuckle, "Isn’t that right, my lady? Hiss—"

A cry of pain escaped Yang Kai as Nie Ying extended her index finger and thumb, pinching hard on Yang Kai’s arm!

Seeing this, Xian Qianling shook his head with a smile, admiring your deep relationship, but also feeling a touch of sadness, "Alright, stop messing around. Let’s focus on investigating the matter at hand."

The design of the top floor of this building was quite interesting; the space wasn’t large and was circular, with four rooms, each a conference room spanning over two hundred square meters.

You sequentially pushed open the doors of three conference rooms, finding nothing amiss.

Standing in front of the last conference room, Yang Kai reached out to push the door open, but you suddenly grabbed his hand.

"What’s up, Old Shu?"

"Don’t push, it should be this one." You said as you stepped forward, "Everyone, step back."

After everyone retreated about two meters,

Soon, eight yellow cinnabar charms flew swiftly out of your pocket. The charms began to spin in front of you, forming a vertical angle with the floor.

"All Forms of Sen Luo, Reflect Mirror!"

The eight yellow cinnabar charms shone simultaneously; the light interwove, and in the circular area at the center of the charms, a plane formed. Gradually, an image appeared on that plane.

In the video feed, Ruan Yuling sat in the chairman’s position of the conference room, her slender fingers lightly touching the desktop as her brow furrowed slightly.

You didn’t have Wei Shuxian read lips to decipher the conversation between Ruan Yuling and the property executives, but instead, you stared closely at the area surrounding her body.

"What’s that?"

At this moment, Yang Kai suddenly pointed towards a small, dusky orb of gas behind Ruan Yuling.

The gas orb was only the size of a small palm and seemed alive, inching closer toward Ruan Yuling’s waist.

Meanwhile, you noticed that several executives in the conference room were also attacked by gas orbs.

Soon, Wei Shuxian posed a question that you were contemplating, "It’s strange; why do these orbs only target people’s waists—is this all just a coincidence?"

After careful observation, you shook your head slightly and said, "That’s not it; the gas orbs target the waist because that’s where the kidneys are."

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help but chuckle and said, "What, do the ghosts hiding in the Zero Boundary also want to buy an iPhone?"

"The kidneys are where a person’s essence and energy reside; under normal circumstances, no blind ghosts would dare touch them. And since these things specifically target that region, there’s only one possibility."

Seeing you pause, everyone pricked up their ears.

You suddenly grinned and said, "This thing is Sculpted Silk, planning to buy several iPhones."

Fighting the urge to smack you, everyone cried out in unison, "Can you be serious for a moment!"

"Heh heh, just joking," you said. Then, turning to the others, you added, "Let’s go."

"Go?" Xian Qianling was slightly taken aback.

Nie Ying grabbed Xian Qianling’s arm and smiled, "Let’s head back first; we can’t rush this matter."

Xian Qianling seemed to understand and nodded slightly.

This time, you chose to take the elevator.

As the six of you entered the elevator and waited for the doors to close, you all saw a translucent black shadow suddenly rushing towards you!

Wei Shuxian and Liao Yong reacted instinctively, pulling out an orange talisman paper from their pockets, while Nie Ying pulled Yang Kai aside, and you instinctively stepped in front of Xian Qianling.

Just then, a tiny infant-like shadow appeared from a corridor on the side and pounced on the adult shadow, pinning it to the ground. Then it lifted its head, its mouth suddenly gaping wide, and it bit down on half of the adult shadow’s head. With a fierce chomp, it shockingly bit off half of the adult shadow’s head!

As the infant shadow chewed on the adult shadow’s half head, seemingly savoring the taste, it slowly turned its gaze toward your elevator.

Just then, the elevator doors began to close slowly.

After a few seconds of silence, Xian Qianling was the first to speak, "What, what was that thing just now?"

Obviously, you all were shaken by the sight you had just witnessed.

You closed your eyes slightly, "Definitely not something good."

Seeing you silent, Xian Qianling didn’t press further; she followed you out of the building and into the car, and you all left.

Just as you left the building, got into your cars, and departed, a young Taoist priest dressed in a robe emerged from a nearby alley. He was holding a phone that was already dialing, displaying the recipient’s name as—Saintess.
