Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Secret Technique_1

You looked at him somewhat perplexedly, "Why are you giving me the gun?"

"You should have seen the thing on it, right?" Du Qingming stated bluntly.

To be honest, you didn’t want to join the so-called special department because doing so would completely bind your life. You were well aware that once you became part of the system, you would never be able to leave it.

However, Du Qingming seemed to see through you completely, as if he had mastery of your abilities. You had nowhere to hide in front of him.

Grasping the Type 95 automatic rifle in your hands, you nodded, "I can indeed see it clearly."

"Do you know how to solve it?"

"I do."

"In that case, could you please remove the filthy qi on it?"

You were about to refuse when Du Qingming added, "If you do a good job, I’ll tell you the only way to meet that person."

Your right hand fingers moved slightly. Although you were somewhat numb from excessive blood loss in both arms, your right hand was in much better condition compared to your left.

You glanced around and noticed a notepad on the desk. You immediately smiled and said to Fan Yi, "Could you help me tear off five sheets of white paper from the desk?"

After a slight start, Fan Yi hurried over and carefully tore off five sheets of paper from the notepad.

After receiving the notes, you neatly tore the printed part from the top of the papers and arranged the five sheets in the five directions of southeast, northwest, and center in front of you.

"Hmm? Could this be..."

Upon seeing this, Du Qingming naturally revealed a look of surprise on his face.

You ignored Du Qingming and bit your finger, drawing different magic seals on each of the five sheets of paper. When you completed the last circle on the fifth seal, the five mundane sheets of paper unexpectedly began to float on their own!

"Captain, this is a talisman formation, right? That kid Zhang Xiao knows how to do this too; it’s nothing special," the man beside Du Qingming said disdainfully.

In his eyes, you were a newcomer, and as a veteran, he must dominate the newcomers in spirit, otherwise their prestige as veterans would no longer exist.

"It is a talisman formation, but it is also the Innate Bagua Formation!" Du Qingming’s face was now covered in surprise; he had never imagined that you would have learned the Xiao Family’s treasure of Yenjing.

"The Innate Bagua Formation, isn’t that the Xiao Family of Yenjing’s secret art? He..."

When Du Qingming gave the man a glance, he immediately fell silent, his gaze towards you changing subtly.

"Nevertheless, Little Lee, this gun has only absorbed some resentful qi, using the Innate Bagua Formation to cleanse it seems like a waste of energy," Du Qingming said, puzzled.

Confronting Du Qingming’s confusion, you smiled slightly, "Since I was young, my mother told me something. Everything in the world follows karma, the cycle of cause and effect, the law of heaven goes round and round, the way of the law never perishes. This gun has absorbed resentful qi, indeed, which can usually be easily handled with a simple exorcism charm. However, if we don’t find the source of the resentful qi, other guns might also get contaminated after we leave, and by then, tragedy is certain to occur."

Enlightened, Du Qingming looked at you with renewed brightness in his eyes, the joy obvious without words.

You placed the Type 95 automatic rifle flat in the center of the talisman formation, pressing the central sheet of paper, while the other four sheets rapidly spun around it.

With a few faint incantations, a wisp of pale green mist rose from the rifle, slowly gathering until it formed a palm-sized butterfly.

"Little Kai, Glasses, Black Bull!"

You called out three times towards the door, and soon Yang Kai and his two companions hurried in.

Upon seeing the fluttering pale green butterfly in the air, the three expressed dramatically different expressions.

Without waiting for them to speak, the pale green butterfly flew toward the doorway.

You turned to Wei Shuxian and said, "Glasses, you three follow the butterfly and see where it eventually settles."

Wei Shuxian nodded, and as the three turned to leave, you added one more thing, "Be careful."

"Don’t worry, after all, we are official members of the supernatural detective society, we won’t go down that easily," Yang Kai chuckled, and the three of them quickened their pace to follow the butterfly.

As soon as the trio left, the man in the Zhongshan suit turned to instruct the man beside him, "Yan Fu, follow them, and if necessary, protect those three students."

"Yes," Yan Fu nodded, also chasing out.

About ten minutes or so later, Yang Kai’s group of four, including Li Yang, entered the infirmary.

"How did it go?" you asked.

"Old Shu, you absolutely won’t guess where that little butterfly led us," Yang Kai said with an air of mystery.

"Where?"

"The armory," Yang Kai stated as if revealing a secret.

You rolled your eyes in response, "And then?"

"And then? What and then?"

"I mean, did you find anything in the armory?"

Just as Yang Kai was about to speak, Wei Shuxian pushed him aside and said to you, "After the butterfly flew into the armory, it disappeared, and that place felt somewhat eerie. We didn’t stay long, so we came to find you and Mr. Du first."

Du Qingming looked at Yan Fu and asked, "Little Yan, what’s going on? Didn’t you find the source?"

Yan Fu shook his head, "Once the butterfly entered the armory, it vanished. We looked around but didn’t find anything unusual, just a weird atmosphere."

After pondering for a moment, you looked up and asked Li Yang, "Instructor Li, am I right in remembering that this training camp has been abandoned for a long time?"

Li Yang nodded, "Yes, but before you all arrived, we deliberately refurbished it. We plan to use it for training freshmen like you from now on. Therefore, this incident is also very important to us. The chief just called, telling us to investigate this thoroughly."

"How long has the training camp been established?"

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "About a decade or so."

"What was this place used for before? Was it just a wasteland?"

"I’m not sure. I’ve only been enlisted for five years and transferred here less than two."

Du Qingming smiled at you and said, "Little Li, it seems this matter still needs you to resolve."

"Alright then."

You nodded helplessly. In fact, the pain in your body had mostly subsided now, and the wound on your back had nearly scabbed over. As long as you didn’t make any sudden movements, it wouldn’t be much of an issue.

"Who can help me up?"

"I will." Fan Yi quickly reached out to support your right hand.

Seeing this, Yang Kai on the side clicked his tongue continuously, "Tsk tsk tsk, why does this kid have such good luck, huh? No matter where he goes, he has beauties for company. Ah, I’m envious, I’m jealous."

Du Qingming glanced at Yang Kai and patted his shoulder, "Young man, I believe it won’t be long before you meet the most important person in your life. Keep it up, and don’t give up hope on life."

At first, Yang Kai was pleased to hear this. But the more he listened, the more it seemed off. Why was he being told not to give up hope on life?

"Uncle? What do you mean by that?" Yang Kai looked at Du Qingming with a displeased expression.

Yan Fu added, "Our captain has the ability to predict the future. What he says usually comes true."

"Ah? Really?" Yang Kai immediately jumped up, clinging to Du Qingming’s hand, "Uncle, oh no, big brother! This handsome, stylish, and dashing guy who is more handsome than Pan An, please clarify your words. What exactly is going to happen to me?"

Du Qingming looked down at Yang Kai and asked with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"

"I really, really want to know!"

Facing the nervous Yang Kai, Du Qingming arrogantly lifted his head and said, "The heavenly secret must not be revealed."

"I..."

"Alright, let’s talk about future events in the future. When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with soil!" You patted Yang Kai’s shoulder and said to everyone, "Let’s go take a look at the armory."

Speaking of the armory, there were only about a dozen guns, all on brand-new racks, and several boxes of bullets on the floor.

As soon as you entered the armory, you immediately furrowed your brows.

Leaving everything else aside, there was a thick stench of decay pervading this seemingly well-ventilated armory, mingled with a heavy presence of Yin Qi.

Du Qingming walked over to you and asked, "You should be able to see the things in the air, right?"

"Yes, I can see them, and very clearly at that."

With that, you walked up to a weapon rack, looked at the ground below the rack for a few moments, and then said to Li Yang, "Instructor Li, I suggest you move these weapons and Dan Medicine elsewhere for now. This place is not safe."

Li Yang was a smart man, or he wouldn’t have risen from an ordinary soldier to a lieutenant in just five years without any background.

After Li Yang cleared out the armory, Yang Kai also brought your bag over from the dormitory.

Seeing Yang Kai taking out a stack of Talisman Paper from your bag, Yan Fu couldn’t help but tease, "Tell me, are you a student, or are you a Taoist? Who brings these things to military training?"

As the old saying goes, ’better safe than sorry.’ Nobody knows what might happen tomorrow. These talismans are like my amulets; I can’t go without them."

The talismans were all drawn with cinnabar Magic Seals. You distributed them to Wei Shuxian, Yang Kai, and Liao Yong. Under your direction, they quickly set up a large Talisman Formation in the room, but this time it wasn’t circular—it was triangular.

The three points of the triangle each touched the corner of a wall, presenting themselves in a very peculiar way to everyone.

Ever since you unlocked memories of your childhood, you realized that between the ages of three and five, your mother had forced you to memorize dozens of Talisman Formations by rote, which could be broken down and recombined. If you truly matched them up, there could potentially be hundreds of variations.

Later, you summarized about a dozen common ones. Whenever there was nothing to do, you taught these Talisman Formations to Yang Kai and the other two.

You also personally taught them how to draw the cinnabar talismans. Yang Kai had even tried using his own blood to draw talismans, but it was utterly useless.

Then you bit your fingertip, squeezed out a drop of Blood Bead, and flung it into the air.
