The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 946 - Chapter 946 Chapter 946 The Whereabouts of Kayako

Chapter 946: Chapter 946: The Whereabouts of Kayako Chapter 946: Chapter 946: The Whereabouts of Kayako In the revolving restaurant of the Emperor Building, 100 candles were lit.

This filled the originally pitch-dark restaurant with light, but the light was eerily sad; the faces of people sitting behind the candles took on a bizarre, twisted appearance.

The first person began to tell a ghost story.

His storytelling skills were not very impressive, yet the story was quite terrifying, chilling the listeners to the bone.

Of course, for Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and Huo Bingyan, such ghost stories were utterly boring, nearly putting them to sleep.

It was a story about a hanged ghost, finished in three minutes.

Pfft~~!

The storyteller blew out the candle.

Suddenly, above his head, a layer of mist materialized, heavy with yin energy. Amidst the dense yin energy appeared a hanged ghost in red, its face deathly pale and its eyeballs bulging as if about to burst.

The ghost’s crimson tongue, stretched out a whole meter long, wrapped directly around the storyteller’s neck!

The face of the hanged ghost in red was incredibly ferocious, staring intently at the storyteller, as if harboring a deadly grudge against him!

Poor storyteller, he was completely unaware that his tale had summoned an actual hanged ghost, and his life was hanging by a thread!

The storytelling went on.

The second person told a story about a drowned ghost, and afterward, blew out the candle.

Just like the first storyteller, as soon as the candle was extinguished and the cold wind blew, another ghastly specter appeared, looking like it had been soaked in formalin.

Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and Huo Bingyan exchanged glances.

It seemed that the routine of the Qing Lantern Murderer involved conjuring various ghosts from the stories while the narrators spoke, and once the hundredth candle was snuffed out, these menacing spirits would begin their deadly hunt! They would kill the storytellers as a form of seeking substitutes.

Ghost stories continued one after another, and candles were extinguished one by one. The number of ghosts in the revolving restaurant grew, a bizarre assortment of specters assembled, a veritable night parade of a hundred demons!

Following the seating order for storytelling, Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and Huo Bingyan were seated in positions 97, 98, and 99, respectively.

Finally, it was Huang Xiaolong’s turn to tell a story!

Huang Xiaolong told a cheeky story about a burnt ghost. Just as he blew out the candle, a fierce ghost with a charred body appeared out of nowhere, floating above Huang Xiaolong’s head.

However–

Huang Xiaolong slightly raised his head and glanced at the burnt ghost.

In an instant, the burnt ghost trembled with fear, its soul nearly scattering.

The next second, as the burnt ghost was about to make a run for it, Huang Xiaolong transmitted a message with his thoughts. “Hehe~~ don’t be scared, no need to run, I won’t kill you. Just stay here~~ don’t run~~ if you dare to flee, I’ll make sure your soul vanishes.”

As soon as Huang Xiaolong spoke, the burnt ghost indeed did not dare to move an inch more, staying frozen above his head like it was walking on thin ice, almost ready to burst into tears.

Next up were Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingyan’s turns to tell ghost stories. Ma Chuxia told a story about a starved ghost, while Huo Bingyan recounted one about a flayed ghost. Unsurprisingly, they too summoned actual starved and flayed ghosts, but like Huang Xiaolong, they quickly gained control over the two ferocious spirits.

Thus, only one candle remained in the revolving restaurant!

99 malicious ghosts floated eerily above people’s heads, laughing senselessly.

Behind that still-burning candle, the seat remained empty.

“Ladies and gentlemen, after the last candle goes out, you will receive… heh heh heh… a generous reward… Now… please welcome our–host!” A staff member spoke slowly, his voice twisted and altered.

No sooner had he finished speaking–

Woooo~~~!

A chilly gust of wind blew in from the floor-length window outside!

Suddenly!

On that empty seat, without anyone noticing when, sat a… “woman.”

This “woman” was dressed in a pale teal outfit, with her hair done up in a bun, wearing an authentic Dongying woman’s attire.

This was the Sealed Lamp Procession!

Designed to lure people into playing the ‘Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai’ game and instantly rob 99 people of their lives, an extremely dangerous Dongying ghost!

“Hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong watched the Sealed Lamp Procession with interest.

At the same time, the 99 floating ghosts within the revolving restaurant all turned their ghostly gaze towards the Sealed Lamp Procession.

“Giggle giggle~~~” The Sealed Lamp Procession laughed charmingly, murmuring in the Dongying language, “Next, I will give you, a gift, and this will also be, the last gift in your life.”

“Hahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing aloud.

The storytellers all glared at Huang Xiaolong with dissatisfaction.

“Damn it, what are you laughing at? There’s only one story left. Let the host finish, and then we can collect our prizes and go home to sleep! Shut up!” A fat-headed, large-eared man scolded Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Sealed Lamp Procession, sneering in the language of the Dongying islands. “Is the ritual about to end?”

“Oh?” The Sealed Lamp Procession then noticed Huang Xiaolong, “You know about it? Are you… a Huaxia Taoist? Oh… giggle giggle~~~ Quite impressive, aren’t we~~ to have a Huaxia Taoist sneak in… But it’s useless… It’s too late… Even a Taoist like you will die~~”

“Is that so?” asked Huang Xiaolong with a smile that grew even colder, filled with an indescribable scorn.

At that moment, all 99 spectral ghosts floating inside the revolving restaurant had been subdued by the unintentional oppressive aura emanating from Huang Xiaolong.

These spectral ghosts were actually Huaxia ghosts, and not Dongying ghosts, hence, the aura from Huang Xiaolong’s body was more than enough to subjugate and intimidate them.

The ghosts looked at Huang Xiaolong with begging, pitifully dim eyes.

“When I blow out this candle… you are all going to die!” In an instant, a fierce ghostly aura surfaced on the pale face of the Sealed Lamp Procession!

“You Dongying ghosts, full of yourselves, dare to stir up trouble on our Huaxia turf…” Huang Xiaolong sneered sarcastically, shaking his head faintly. “In the end, you’ll be buried in this land… Go on, blow out the last candle…”

“Hmph!” The Sealed Lamp Procession made a sharp, snorting call, sensing a deep and alarming threat from Huang Xiaolong.

Phoo~~~!

Quicker than words could tell, the Sealed Lamp Procession blew out a gust of ghostly breath!

The last candle suddenly went out!

In that moment, a breathtaking scene unfolded!

The 99 malevolent spirits in the revolving restaurant all revealed their spectral forms!

Hanged ghosts, strangled ghosts, drowned ghosts, burned ghosts…

“Ah~~~! Ghosts! Ghosts!”

The storytellers, one by one, were horrified and trembled as if their bodies were in spasms, some even fainted on the spot.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Cackle cackle cackle~~cackle cackle cackle~~~

In the revolving restaurant, the greedy and hoarse cries of the malevolent spirits echoed.

“Enjoy your prey!” The man with the blue lantern stood up, spread his arms, and said with great satisfaction.

“Pfft~~~!” Huang Xiaolong could not help but let out a wry laugh, then lazily commanded, “Bite to death this bastard from Dongying…”

“Yes! My lord!”

And then, all of a sudden, the 99 malevolent spirits bowed neatly to Huang Xiaolong.

In an instant!

Splat~~splat~splat~~~!

The 99 malevolent spirits turned into a volley of arrows, piercing through the heart, and flew towards the man with the blue lantern.

The man with the blue lantern never expected that the ritual would fail, that these Huaxia ghosts would turn against him!

In a flash, chunks of flesh were viciously torn from the ghostly body of the man with the blue lantern by the 99 greedy and bloodthirsty spirits.

The next second, the man with the blue lantern was left riddled with holes, and from those honeycomb-like wounds on his ghostly body, disgusting and filthy Yin blood spurted out.

He wailed in unbearable pain, “Ah! Dammit!”

Tremendous ghostly power burst from the man with the blue lantern, sending all 99 malevolent spirits flying away, and then, with eyes filled with intense hatred and bloodlust, he tried to pounce on Huang Xiaolong and tear him apart.

Huang Xiaolong smiled mockingly and casually threw out a talisman.

The talisman exploded into a burst of golden light, quickly transforming into a giant golden hand that firmly grasped the man with the blue lantern.

Sizzle~~sizzle~~sizzle~~!

Just like snow melting under sunlight, the ghostly body of the man with the blue lantern continuously dissolved in the dazzling golden light, emitting green smoke.

“Spare me~~my lord… Spare me…” the man with the blue lantern let out a desperate scream.

“Tell me, which of you bastards from Dongying came to Zhengjiang City to cause trouble this time? Is it a reaper from Dongying’s underworld?” Huang Xiaolong asked indifferently.

“No… No… It was Lord Kayako… Lord Kayako ordered us to do this…” the man with the blue lantern wailed miserably, his voice was utterly heart-wrenching.

“Kayako? Him again?” Huang Xiaolong slightly furrowed his brows.

It turned out that it was not a reaper from Dongying’s underworld leading the Dongying malevolent spirits to wreak havoc in Zhengjiang City, but Kayako!

The culprit behind the starving ghost that devoured over a hundred people in Haili Supermarket was also Kayako!

“Where is Kayako?” Huang Xiaolong inquired.

“It… it… Lord Kayako it…” Qing Deng Xing stammered.

“Spit it out!” Huang Xiaolong snapped angrily.

The golden hand clenched tightly.

Crack~~ Crack~~!

The ghost body of Qing Deng Xing directly shattered into a dense web of cracks, looking like it was about to burst apart.

“Lord Kayako… it… its villa, seems… seems to be at the old campus of Zhengjiang University…” Finally, unable to withstand the torture, Qing Deng Xing confessed.

“Zhengjiang University’s old campus?” Huang Xiaolong paused slightly.

“Little Long! Do you remember? That detestable Min Yifei, he is the president of Zhengjiang University. He told you before that there was a haunted building in the old campus of Zhengjiang University, which was sealed off and has been troubled by ghosts lately… He asked for your help…” Chuxia’s eyes sparkled continuously. “Could it be that haunted building… is the Dongying ghost, Kayako, causing trouble?”

“Why don’t we go take a look?” Huang Xiaolong said with a cold smile.

Immediately, he threw the Kayako that was about to fall apart.

“This is your feast. Enjoy,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile to the ghosts in the revolving restaurant.

The next moment, 99 wretched ghosts, like flies drawn to blood, pounced upon Qing Deng Xing and tore it apart to feast on it.

Huang Xiaolong burned several talisman spells to drive away the ghostly energy that clung to the people in the revolving restaurant who had been telling stories.

The staff members who had been confused by the ghostly energy bent over and began to vomit, expelling a large pool of disgusting black pus.

“Little wife, let’s go,” Huang Xiaolong beckoned, taking Ma Chuxia and Yue Bingyan with him.

Standing in the plaza beneath the Emperor Building.

“Little Long, it’s 2 a.m. now, should we go and check out Zhengjiang University’s haunted old campus?” Chuxia hurriedly said. “If Qing Deng Xing didn’t lie, then Kayako is probably there!”

“Heh~~ Little wife, you can’t wait to rush over and see for yourself, right?” Huang Xiaolong said with a wry smile.

Yue Bingyan also said, “Husband, let’s go! I also want to see, how sacred this Kayako really is.”

“Didn’t Min Yifei agree to pay a high price for me to exorcise ghosts at his school? Fine, call him to get up and take us to the haunted old campus,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

Soon, Ma Chuxia got in touch with Min Yifei through Taoist Master Hong, the head of Zhengjiang City branch of the Metaphysical Society.

Min Yifei, woken from his sleep, was initially annoyed, but when he heard Huang Xiaolong was willing to deal with the ghost building at the old campus, he got out of bed without a word, drove straight to the old campus.

Before long, Taoist Master Hong personally drove over to pick up Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and Yue Bingyan.

“Taoist Master Hong, you’re a local of Zhengjiang City, do you know about the ghost building at Zhengjiang University’s old campus?” Huang Xiaolong asked while they were in the car, out of boredom.

“About that…” Taoist Master Hong sighed while driving, “Actually, nearly every local here knows. It was about ten years ago, in room 204 of the dormitory building at the old campus of Zhengjiang University, a female student mysteriously disappeared… Around ten days later, a cleaning lady found a handbag on Huaqiao Road near the school, containing over 500 cooked slices of flesh. It was only when she washed the meat slices that she found 3 fingers mixed in and immediately reported it to the police. Other parts of the corpse were subsequently found nearby the school, scattered around, wrapped in handbags and a bed sheet. After being cooked, the body was estimated to have been cut into more than 2000 pieces, with the cutting being very precise and orderly, indicating the murderer’s brutality and strong psychological makeup…”

“That case was a huge sensation in our Zhengjiang City at the time. Despite several months of investigation and interviewing tens of thousands of people, it remained unsolved, becoming an unresolved case nationwide. Later, the dormitory building where the victim lived began to experience hauntings… With no other recourse, the school invited Taoists and monks to perform rituals, chant scriptures, and attempt to elevate the spirit. They sealed off the haunted dormitory building. For years, it was quiet, but recently it seems as if the seal is weakening, and the building has begun to stir again… I guess it’s that dismembered girl, her spirit lingering and turning into a fierce ghost…”

“Oh?” Huang Xiaolong caught his breath. He had assumed that the haunted building at Zhengjiang University’s old campus was the work of the Dongying ghost, Kayako, but it seemed that there were also the remnants of an unsolved case, a female student who was dismembered into thousands of pieces.

However, it didn’t matter. Huang Xiaolong believed that once they got to the old campus, all the puzzles would unravel.
