Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 449 Ghost Catcher 10

In the next two days, Yun Chu moved even faster.

The staff housing of Red Star Textile Factory.

In front of the noisy west unit of the old building, people from the factory security department and several disturbed residents were talking to Lin Chao who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Lin Chao was wearing a specially bought Taoist robe, holding a compass, calculating with his fingers, looking like a master.

He was saying with certainty:

"The earth veins here are slightly shaking, colliding with the evil spirits. We need to choose an auspicious day and bury a pair of Bagua mirrors on each of the east and west walls of the courtyard, and then use..."

Before he finished speaking, a clear voice rang out: "Don't bother, Sha Yuan is here."

Everyone followed the sound.

Yun Chu hadn't known when she was standing next to the leaking water pipe outside the apartment building. She was dressed in plain clothes, and her aura was restrained but undeniable.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, she pinched a silver talisman with mysterious runes drawn on it (not the rough yellow talisman from before) with her fingertips and flicked her finger!

call out!

The silver talisman was like a precise dart, instantly nailing into the gap between a damp and slightly collapsed floor tile under the water pipe!

hum...

A dull hum seemed to come from underground, and with the naked eye, the lights of several houses in the entire west unit, which had been flickering inexplicably, suddenly stabilized!

The compass needle in Lin Chao's hand spun wildly, losing its direction. His face changed slightly: "You..."

Yun Chu didn't look at him. He calmly addressed the security chief and the residents, "This isn't a collision with the earth veins. It's a water demon using abandoned underground ditches to cause trouble. It likes to drill into old pipes and gnaw at the insulation of wires, causing pipe bursts and tripping of circuit breakers."

"The talisman just now has blocked this passageway node. It won't be able to enter from here anytime soon. Please send someone to dig deep around this section of the water pipe, find the entrance to the ditch where it collapsed, and completely seal it with concrete. This thing isn't very smart, so just find another place to drill."

Her explanation pointed directly to the physical cause. Although it involved ghosts, it focused more on providing a practical solution rather than vague incantations. The solution was low-cost (it only required the factory to dig a ditch and plug the hole) and the effect was immediate (the lighting stabilized immediately).

The security chief looked at the light source that had suddenly returned to normal and the water pipe interface that no longer sprayed water, and then looked at Lin Chao who was still calculating the "collision with the earth veins" just now, and his eyes immediately shifted.

"Ah... OK, OK! Thank you, Comrade Yun!" The section chief nodded repeatedly and immediately asked people to prepare tools to start digging.

The surrounding residents looked at Yun Chu with eyes full of gratitude and awe, whispering, "It's clearer than what Master Lin said," "It works so quickly"...

Lin Chao's face turned pale, and the knuckles of his hand holding the compass turned white. He felt like a clown! He looked at Yun Chu's young and calm face, and his heart was filled with doubt: "What sect are you from? How dare you..."

Yun Chu glanced at him indifferently, his eyes like a dagger tempered with ice. It was the indifference of looking at a "descendant of an enemy master" rather than a fellow practitioner, with a subtle scrutiny: "It's just catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, what's the point of different sects? Being able to eliminate disasters and bring peace to the people is the real skill."

She turned and left, leaving behind a neat and tidy back.

"You..." Lin Chao wanted to stop her and argue with her, but Yun Chu's figure had quickly disappeared in the crowd.

In this battle, Yun Chu not only solved the problem, but also completely overturned Lin Chao's position as the "only authority" among Lin Chao's most important customer groups - workers with jobs and ordinary citizens.

She slapped him in the face with speed and effectiveness, and squeezed his quotation space with low cost. Her goal was clear - to cut off his foundation!

Yun Chu was also the first to receive the news about the abandoned workshop at the Western Suburbs Chemical Plant.

This time, things are obviously much more serious - "strange figures", "frightened medical treatment", combined with the complex magnetic field of the abandoned factory itself and possible old blood grudges, it is very likely that there is a ghost-level existence!

It just so happens that one of her tasks is to kill ten evil spirits!

Yun Chu had naturally arrived first. Standing outside the massive, rusty iron gate, her consciousness extended inside, immediately capturing a chaotic, resentful, and cold, ghostly aura mingled with the heavy, residual scent of chemical reagents.

It is weaker than the evil ghost in Qixiaju, but more evil and bloodthirsty.

Lin Chao soon arrived breathlessly with an assistant. He had obviously received the news and had also judged that there was a "big guy" here, and was eager to save his reputation.

The two groups of people were separated by the rusty iron gate of the factory.

Lin Chao stared at Yun Chu, his eyes filled with anger and provocation. "Hmph, little girl, this is not a place for you to show off! If you know what's good for you, leave now, or you'll be torn to pieces by the evil spirits!"

Yun Chu didn't even raise her eyelids, her voice calm and composed, "This evil spirit has harmed several people and must be eliminated. Whoever has the ability to eliminate it will be the real winner." She pointed to the dark, ominous workshop door and said, "Go ahead."

Lin Chao was so enraged by her nonchalant attitude that he snorted coldly, "Alright! Today I'll open your eyes to what orthodox Taoism is!"

After that, he no longer hesitated, signaling his assistant to take out the prepared talismans and instruments, muttering something, and with a kind of emboldened "courage" he pushed open the heavy, rotten iron door...

Yun Chu stood motionless at the door, her consciousness tightly locked onto the movements inside. She was not in a hurry to rush in and take the credit, but instead acted like a calm bystander.

From within the iron gate came the sounds of fighting, explosions (Lin Chao had used the fire talisman), and Lin Chao's panicked shouts! This was followed by even more powerful explosions of ghostly energy and waves of terrifying screams!

His assistant screamed and crawled out, his face as pale as paper. "Master Lin... there are so many inside... I can't hold it!"

Yun Chu's lips curled up in a cold, slightly sarcastic arc, as if she had expected it. She no longer waited, her figure flashing like a ghost in the night, instantly blending into the darkness of the workshop, which was swirling with chaotic ghostly energy!

There was a movement coming from inside that was different from Lin Chao's previous methods.

There were no loud curses, only a few extremely short, sharp murmurs like swords breaking through the air!

Dingling... buzz...

A few dull tremolo sounds like copper bells frozen in frost!

Then came a short but clear ghost howl that pierced the eardrums, filled with extreme pain and... a complete sense of extinction!

In less than three minutes, the surging ghost energy receded like a tide, and the workshop returned to a dead silence, even more complete than before entering.

Lin Chao was dragged out by his assistant with great difficulty. His Taoist robe was torn and his face was covered with scratches and traces of fear. It was obvious that he had suffered a great loss. He could only watch Yun Chu walk out safely from behind the iron door that absorbed the light.

Yun Chu's face was slightly pale (fake, Yun Chu pretended), as if exhausted, but his eyes were still clear and sharp, and the copper bell hanging around his waist seemed to be covered with a thicker layer of frost.

Yun Chu didn't even look at Lin Chao. He said to the factory leader on duty and several workers who were watching from a distance: "The resentment has been resolved, and this thing has disappeared. It is best to seal this place off completely." Then he turned and left.
