Chapter 653: Chapter 0653 Night Puppet

By this time, it was already past midnight, and even if he reached the highway, it would be difficult to find a vehicle to take him back.

If they had to wait a long time, it might delay the treatment for Wu Yinghong.

So Luo Yang said while walking, "Old Du, call Lang Yifeng immediately and have him drive to pick us up."

The Left Protector promptly contacted Lang Yifeng and relayed Luo Yang’s request to him.

Lang Yifeng usually didn’t sleep until after dawn, a habit he had developed from his days of running a casino.

Just as they descended the mountain, Luo Yang suddenly felt Wu Yinghong’s hands seemed to be strangling his neck.

Out of instinct for self-protection, Luo Yang abruptly let go and grabbed Wu Yinghong’s hands, prying them off.

"Little brother, what’s wrong?"

The Left and Right Protectors asked.

"I need to dislocate his arms first!"

As Luo Yang spoke, he moved swiftly.

Using the Tendon Separating and Bone Misplacing Technique, he deftly dislocated Wu Yinghong’s arms.

At this point, Wu Yinghong’s speech was very unclear, as if he were muttering in a dream.

Luo Yang was not sure whether Wu Yinghong’s hands and feet were becoming stiff and seeming to strangle his neck, or if it was a deliberate attack on him.

For safety reasons, protective measures needed to be taken.

Arriving at the side of the highway and after about a 5-minute wait, Lang Yifeng arrived.

The vehicle he drove was a minivan.

Everyone got into the car, and they headed straight for the Hongyun Brigade.

On the road, Wu Yinghong’s entire body seemed dehydrated, his skin becoming darker and darker, like charcoal.

Lang Yifeng was still unclear about what was happening, thinking someone was ill.

"Master, should we go to the hospital?" Lang Yifeng asked.

"No. Just concentrate on driving," Luo Yang instructed.

When they returned to the Hongyun Brigade, they went straight to Lang Yifeng’s home, where Grandma Liu and Little Huizi were staying.

"Please ask Grandma Liu to come down and tell her there is an emergency," Luo Yang said.

Lang Yifeng immediately went to do so.

By then, Wu Yinghong was like a man close to death, motionless, his eyes like those of a dead fish, with only a faint breath coming and going.

Luo Yang, worried that Wu Yinghong might suddenly become violent and harm someone, kept a close watch over him.

After a while, Grandma Liu and Little Huizi both arrived at the shed in the backyard.

Grandma Liu’s complexion changed dramatically upon seeing Wu Yinghong.

Without asking, it was clear that the situation was not optimistic.

"Is there a chance to save him?" Luo Yang asked.

Grandma Liu did not answer right away; instead, she looked towards Little Huizi, obviously seeking her advice.

From this, it was apparent that Grandma Liu’s status was indeed lower than that of Little Huizi.

But what exactly their relationship was, Luo Yang could not quite figure out.

Little Huizi’s eyes moved slightly, signaling Grandma Liu.

"He has been possessed by a Night Puppet," Grandma Liu said with a grave tone.

"Night Puppet?"

Luo Yang was curious, as were the others.

Puppet.

Just hearing these two words was enough to raise suspicion and unease.

Grandma Liu explained, "If the Night Puppet possesses a living person, it will drain their essence, making itself stronger; if it merges with a Wild Spirit, it can cause the Wild Spirit to exist in the world in corporeal form."

After hearing this, Luo Yang and the others were even more astonished.

"Raising the dead?" Luo Yang asked.

"Not exactly. It should be a thinking zombie. A zombie that can think. The appearance is that of the Wild Spirit from before its death, but the inside is completely changed. It’s only the skin that remains the same as it was in life," Grandma Liu said, fixating on Wu Yinghong, who lay on the ground.

Watching Wu Yinghong’s body become increasingly emaciated, Luo Yang felt quite guilty.

If they hadn’t needed Wu Yinghong to lead the way, perhaps he could have survived.

"Is there a way to save him?" Luo Yang asked again.

Before answering important questions like this, Grandma Liu always looked to Little Huizi for approval.

With Little Huizi’s consent, Grandma Liu said, "It should be possible. However, the Night Puppet is very strong. At most, we can injure it within him and drive it away. Once it heals, it will come back to harm people."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang was torn.

Not being able to kill the Night Puppet on the spot and letting it escape was unfair to the people nearby.

But he also couldn’t just stand by and watch Wu Yinghong die.

"Let’s save him first," Luo Yang requested.

At this point, Grandma Liu looked to Little Huizi for guidance.

Little Huizi did not express much, so Grandma Liu said, "I’m going upstairs to get something."

Saying that, she took Little Huizi with her up the stairs.

Luo Yang knew that the two must have had something important to discuss and let them leave.

Once upstairs, they did not enter the room but started whispering to each other.

"Releasing the Night Puppet might disrupt the balance," Grandma Liu said.

Little Huizi gazed absent-mindedly in the direction of the soil mounds.

"One Night Puppet is not enough to break the balance. Save him," Little Huizi said flatly.

"We can only injure it, it won’t be long before it comes out to harm the people again," Grandma Liu worriedly said.

"It doesn’t matter, we’ll be able to handle it when the time comes."

With that, Little Huizi went downstairs.

Grandma Liu returned to her room to pick up some items, then headed back to the shed.

"Hold down his limbs!" instructed Grandma Liu.

Immediately, Luo Yang, the Left and Right Protectors, and Lang Yifeng each held down one of Wu Yinghong’s limbs.

Grandma Liu placed a talisman on Wu Yinghong’s forehead, and somehow, like snapping her fingers, a small flame ignited the talisman.

The next second, Wu Yinghong’s body convulsed fiercely as his limbs thrashed about.

If the four men restraining Wu Yinghong weren’t so strong, they might have been thrown to the ground.

The night wind blew through the mountains, bringing with it a wailing sound.

But inside the shed, it was very quiet.

Every little noise seemed piercing.

When the talisman caught fire, it was as if a wild beast was roaring inside Wu Yinghong.

The roar emanated from Wu Yinghong’s mouth and nose, terrifying to hear.

Thankfully, it was in the dead of night, otherwise it would’ve attracted a lot of onlookers.

However, being in the dead of night, if someone heard it, they would probably be scared half to death.

That ghostly distant howl was very uncomfortable to listen to.

At this moment, Grandma Liu lit another talisman and cupped it between her palms.

She squatted down and suddenly slapped her palms on the area of Wu Yinghong’s belly button.

There was a loud bang, followed by an even more frightening scene.

Wu Yinghong’s mouth opened wide suddenly, exhaling black mist.

The mist shot upward like a jet of water, complete with roaring.

As the black mist continued to escape, the darkness on Wu Yinghong’s body faded quickly, and he no longer looked as shriveled as before.

Not long ago, during a fight with Qi Dongqiu, a Soul Beast attacked Luo Yang, but in fact, it was the "Shennong Scripture" that had consumed the Soul Beast.

Luo Yang knew the power of the "Shennong Scripture" was immense, he just didn’t understand how to use it.

Now, seeing the Night Puppet trying to escape, Luo Yang really wanted to catch it.

But the "Shennong Scripture" was in his mind, not something tangible like a knife or club that could be held in the hand.

In the blink of an eye, he saw that the Night Puppet had completely emerged from Wu Yinghong’s body.

Grandma Liu, with practiced skill, flung out a Flying Talisman with a flick of her wrist.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

...

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Each time the Flying Talisman hit the Night Puppet, it was as if a torch was suddenly plunged into water.

Roar, roar, roar...

The Night Puppet roared as it darted chaotically around the shed.

Everyone crouched down to avoid being possessed by the Night Puppet.

Thinking of the harm the Night Puppet would continue to cause, Luo Yang felt a surge of anger and advanced with a swing of his palm.

Although his palm struck the Night Puppet, he also punched a hole through the roof of the shed.

With a piercing scream, the Night Puppet flew through the opening, screeching a few times before disappearing into the distance.
