Chapter 853: Chapter 853 Exorcising Evil

You didn’t say a word, just stared straight at Xu Hai.

Xu Hai got a little flustered by your gaze and put on the demeanor of a victimized young girl, stammering, "Wh-what are you staring at me with those eyes for?"

"You don’t stand a chance."

"What? Why not!?" Xu Hai jumped up.

"Intuition."

With that, you grabbed Xu Hai by the neck, pushed his body, and walked towards his Mercedes-Benz van.

Inside the car, Xu Hai relayed all the information he had to you, "The possessed person is called Xu Hailan, a second-tier celebrity and also the mistress of a rich businessman from Eastern Sea City."

"What are the specific symptoms?"

Xu Hai thought for a moment and said, "When she’s calm, she just sits in a corner singing strange nursery rhymes, but when she goes crazy, two or three big guys can’t hold her down. And the first person she attacks when she’s crazy is that rich businessman, making him too scared to even show up in front of her now."

"Looks like that businessman is quite smitten with this Xu Hailan."

"Bullshit!" Xu Hai scoffed, "The reason that fatso cares so much about her is because she knows all his secrets. Xu Hailan has crawled and stumbled in the entertainment industry, and her skills in manipulation are quite superior. She usually coaxes information out of Fatty by talking in bed, and she knows everything about him. Once the news of her going crazy gets out, the media will start paying attention, and they might even commit her to an asylum. Just think, if she spills all of Fatty’s secrets in the asylum, he will definitely end up in prison offering up daisies, totally screwed!"

After a moment of silence, you asked, "How much did they offer?"

Xu Hai gestured with two of his fingers.

Your eyebrows raised, "Two million?"

"You wish! It’s just two hundred thousand!"

"Damn, only two hundred thousand!" You looked distinctly displeased.

"Dude, two hundred thousand. For you, that should be a piece of cake, right?"

You silently stared at Xu Hai again and sighed, "Haizi, you’re still too naïve."

"Huh?" Xu Hai raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Forget it, let’s go meet this big star first."

The car quickly entered a villa area, and eventually stopped in an open space outside a villa’s garage.

As soon as you got out of the car, you saw a short fat man with his hands full of gold jewelry walking out.

"Ahahaha, Young Master Xu, long time no see!"

"Boss Jin, it’s only been a few days, and your waistline has already gone up, huh? Have you been sneaking around with some freelancer?"

"Ah, how can I compare with Young Master Xu? The last time you had a romp on the yacht with those models and freelancers, I’ve been green with envy till now."

"Don’t worry, in a few days I’ll have my secretary pass on their contact information to Boss Jin. As long as you can pay, you can play with those women any way you like."

Watching these two exchanging pleasantries made you feel like picking up a brick from the side and smacking each of them on the head!

"Eh, who is this?"

Fatty Jin seemed to have just noticed you. Even though you were clad in marketplace bargains, he didn’t show the slightest hint of contempt, knowing full well who Xu Hai was. Anyone who could mix it up with Eastern Sea’s top playboy was no ordinary person.

"Oh, I almost forgot. This is my sworn brother, Mu Yun, and also the deputy head of the Flash Detective Agency. He’s the one we’re relying on to exorcise the evil spirit."

As Fatty Jin extended his hand, you didn’t reciprocate, instead heading straight for the villa’s main door as though he didn’t even exist.

"Young Master Xu, this..."

Fatty Jin looked at your retreating back with some surprise.

Xu Hai, with a grin, said, "High-level people, you know...they’re all like that."

Fatty Jin nodded, thinking to himself that it was indeed so; people with a bit of ability are often eccentric, unlike them businessmen who flourish on all sides.

After entering the villa, you weren’t drawn in by the complex and exaggerated décor, but rather asked Fatty Jin, who had followed you in, "Where’s the patient?"

Fatty Jin was startled for a moment before hurriedly saying, "She, she’s in the basement."

Frowning, you immediately glared, "Evil beings thrive in the shade, keeping her in the basement is just fueling the vile spirit’s miasma! Bring her out quickly!"

Fatty Jin nodded in agreement and gestured to two black-clothed bodyguards, who strode towards the basement.

Before long, a disheveled woman was brought out. As soon as he saw the woman, Fatty Jin hurriedly hid behind a folding screen.

Initially, the woman was quiet, just curling herself up in the corner, bowing her head and humming a nursery rhyme to herself:

"Little mouse, carrying an egg,

How to handle an egg so big?

A mouse lies on the ground,

Hugging the egg round and round.

Another mouse pulls the tail,

Pulling and pulling all the way home."

Without speaking, you slowly walked towards the woman, squatting down about two meters away from her.

At that moment, the woman slowly lifted her head to look at you a few times, then bowed her head again to sing the nursery rhyme.

"Mantis brother, mantis brother,

With a belly so big from the food you holler.

Fly and catch the butterfly against the blue,

Jump and catch the locust, as you always do.

Two blades waving high,

Not letting a single pest pass by."

Xu Hai walked up to you and whispered, "Why do I feel that her nursery rhymes are especially creepy? They’re just two simple little rhymes."

"It’s like when you watch a horror movie and turn off the sound; instantly, the movie goes from horror to comedy." You replied.

As you spoke, you slowly stood up and asked Fatty Jin, who was behind the screen, "Under what circumstances does she fall ill?"

Fatty Jin peeked out timidly with half his face, glancing at Xu Hailan with some fear, "She goes crazy as soon as I appear."

"Oh?" You raised an eyebrow and smiled, "In that case, come on out."

"Stop joking, the moment I come out, she’ll skin me alive!" He protested.

You turned to look at Xu Hai, leaving the persuasion to him, as you bit open your own index finger and took out two Yellow Vermilion Charms, each inscribed with a Seal of Truesky.

If Yun Chu saw this, he would definitely slap you away; using the Seal of Truesky, feared by countless gods and demons, to resolve a small haunting ghost, there was no one else but you in the Three Realms.

While Xu Hai was persuading, you casually tossed the talismans in your hand, and the two Yellow Vermilion Charms began to float in front of everyone’s eyes, dispersing left and right.

Fatty Jin also saw the floating talismans and, half-believing, stood up from behind the screen.

As soon as he appeared, the woman, who had been very quiet, suddenly stood up and lunged viciously at Fatty Jin!

"Snap."

You snapped your fingers stylishly towards the air, and instantly the two talismans transformed into blinding lights. These lights swiftly converged, forming a barrier in front of the woman that she couldn’t break through no matter how much she pounded and rammed it.

"Fatty, come here."

"Fatty, Fatty?"

"Yes, I’m talking to you."

Fatty Jin helplessly accepted the nickname, the first time someone had called him that since he became successful.

Though frightened, he still stood by your side with the escort of the two bodyguards, now only a half meter away from Xu Hailan.

"Come closer." You squatted in front of Fatty Jin, looking up at Xu Hailan, who kept beating and gnawing at the barrier.

Fatty Jin moved two small steps closer.
