Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 487: The Bible

Before Ifellasleep, the temperature suddenly dropped. I vigilantly opened my eyes, but there was nothing at the entrance.

However, I was sure that the coldwind came from the door.Was it just a hallucination?

Li Mazi was playingonhis phoneandMarcowas sitting with his head held low.“Hey guys, did you see anything enter the hall?”

They shook their heads.

Li Mazi didn’t take it seriously. “This is the biggest church in Milan. It isthe place where God is enshrined. How could anything foul come in?”

Then, hewentback to playingonhis phone. I thought he was rightanddecidedto resume my nap.

However, a strongergust ofwind suddenly swept into the hall. This time, both Li Mazi andMarcofelt it. They turned to look at the entrance.

The Yin energy at the entrance had grown thicker, and the candles inside the church began to flicker. It wasn’t agood sign! Moreover, wehad joinedthewake tonight, andI didn’t bring anything with me!

Another gust of wind blew toward us,blowingout all the wax candles in the hall. I saw Yin Xinyuewaveat me at the door. When I saw her, I was so happy that Isubconsciouslywalked towardher.

After a few steps, Irealized something was wrong. Yin Xinyue had departed to China, so this had tobe an illusion!

I bit the tip of my tongueto tryto wake myself up. I heaved a sigh of relief whenthe image ofYin Xinyue disappeared. I turned to my sideand was aboutto ask the other two to be more cautious. However, there was no one around me. They were gone.

“Holymoly!” I cursedand was aboutto go out to find them.

But when I turned around, I saw the Lance of God. I wentover and broughtmy palms together. Then, I boweddeeply to the statue, drawingthe lanceand dashingtoward the door.

It’s a foreign ghost, so I should use thisforeign Sacred Weapon to deal with it! Itshould be more effective!

Unexpectedly, when Iwentout, I didn’t see the two of them. A thick Yin energy lingered in the place. I knew they were bewitched and captured by the foul thing. I started to run faster. However, after alongdistance, I still hadn’t seen them. I smelled the Yinenergy of thefemale ghostin the air. Moreover, the further I went, the thicker the Yin energybecame.

I was bewildered, and ahorrible possibility popped up in my head.Maybe the female ghost had alreadytransformedinto a devil…

We had wounded her seriously before, so she must have considered us her worst enemies.Thatwaswhy she wanted to trick usinto leavingthe church. It alsoshowed meshe was afraid of God!

I looked at the Holy Lance in my handand grittedmy teeth. Then, I rantoward the Ghost Castle where the female ghost took shelter.

Along the way, I kept thinking whether the ghost had become a devil or not. If not, it would be all right. Butifshe did, would the Lance of God work? Could Li Mazi andMarcoendure it until Iarrived?

I called a taxi toarrive at the Ghost Castle before the female ghost.However, when I passed by the hotel, I still hadn’tcaught up tothem. It was beyond my estimationbecause when someone was bewitched,theywouldmove veryslowly.This made meeven more worried.

I didn’t even know if the Lance of God wouldwork, soI decided toheadback to the hotel to fetch the peach wood sword.Iwasready foramatch of life anddeathwith the ghost!

Fortunately, as soon as I entered the meandering path behind the hotel, I saw Li Mazi andMarcowalking slowlyoverthere. Perhaps the ghost had let them slow down as she thought they couldn’t escape.

Ifelt somehope again! I rushed forward to catch up with them. Then, I forcefully slapped them.

Theydid not snap out of itbutlookedat me fiercely. Their eyessparkledlike those of a wild beast. In unison, they kicked me.

I didn’t expect that the ghost could control them to attack me.Li Mazi’s kick sent me to the ground, but itdidn’t stop there. They rolledtheir eyes andbaredtheir teeth as they pressed on me.

Their bodies feltincredibly heavy. I tried my best to wiggle free, but it didn’t work. In the end, I had to bite the tip of my tongue and spit blood onto their glabellas.

The two stiffenedright after.Then, they slumped aside. The weight on my body disappeared. I knew they wouldsoon wake up, soI got up from the groundandangrilylookedat the Ghost Castle.

“LittleBrother Zhang, what should we do now?” Li Mazi’s sanity was returned.

It seemed he knew what he hadjust donebutwasn’table to control his body. I clenched myteeth. “Since,it hascome to this, what elsecan wedo? We can only risk our lives and fight with her!”

Then, I grabbed the Lance of Godand dashedaway.

The moment I entered the hall, the Yin energy inside felt much heavier. Sparkling,purple wispshoveredin the air. In thepast, my grandfather had told me thatthis phenomenonwas called‘vicious currents,’and all thingsthatcould createvicious currents were very intimidating.

I wanted to leave butthoughtaboutMarco,whose father had just passed away, soI quickly pulled myself together.

As I approachedthe lectern, I didn’t see the ghost’s dried body. My heart sank.Did the ghostmerge withher body?

Anxiously, I looked around to see if I could spot the ghost. Butthe Yin energy in this church was like a thick curtain of fog;I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, someone screamed behind me. I turned and found Li Mazi andMarcofightingoneother. Their faces looked ferocious, just as though they deeplyhatedthe other.

While I was hesitating,Li Mazi had already grabbedMarco’s throat.Marcodid not seemtofeel anypain, and he simply pounded his fist on Li Mazi’s head.

In a shorttime, they both had blood on their bodies. I knew the ghost wanted us to kill each other. Ihurriedto wake them up.

WhenLi Mazi gota hold of himself, the first thing he did was swear.“Damn it! A momentof carelessnessand wewerebewitched again!”

“Hold this!” I handed Li Mazi the Lance of God.

The female ghost had bewitched us twice, and I wasn’t affected even once. Except for my strong mentality, the Holy Lance must have also played arole.

In the meantime,I askedMarcoto read the Bible aloud!

If thesacredtext of Daoism could stabilize the mind and expel evilspirits, I guessed reading the verses from the Bible would have the same effect!

Indeed, as soon asMarcostarted to read something in Italian withhissolemn voice, the Yin energy around us began to thin out. It felt warm, just as though the sunlight was shininginthis place.
