Chapter 586: Spirit Congregating Formation


    This time, the victim was the son of an important leader in this city. It was the sameasthe other previous two cases. His head exploded, which resulted inhis instant death.


    Although thisguywasnt a top leader, he held a lot ofpower. He immediately learned about my existence from Jiang Teng.


    After telling me about the new incident, the bodyguard smiled. Mr. Zhang, if you can take revenge for thevictims, you willforgeastrongrtionship withthe people in this city


    I was speechlessand toldmyself that I hatedhavingthis sort of connection to government officials. In somecases, even if I solved the situation,they would try to kill meto shut me up.And, if I couldnt solve the problem,it was likely Iwould never be able to run my shop again. It was adifficult situation.


    Do you want to go to the scene?


    I nodded. If the leader knew about me, I had to go and take a look.


    Alongthe way, the bodyguard carefully advised me, Mr. Zhang, when we arrive, please mind your behavior. Do notget into a fightwith the leader.


    Even if he didnt tell me, Iknew that much.Well, good citizens shouldnt fight against the officials.I understood this way of life.


    When we arrived at the ce, our car was stopped outside the iron gate.Apolicemanfinishedchecking us thoroughly. Heeven took things likesnacksaway.


    Another policeman guided us throughyers of securitytothe living room.In the middle of the living room was a crystal coffin. I could see the body inside through the transparent walls of the coffin.


    In front of the sofa was an outline of ahumanfiguremarked by white chalk.This ce seemed to bethe death scene.


    This body was simr to the previous two. Except for the exploded head, there was no other wound. I asked the bodyguard andlearnedabout adifferent detail about this case: The murder took ce in the morningwhenthe sun had already risen


    Although the morning sunlight wasnt very strong, this living room was naturally well-lit. Normally,aspiritwouldn''tdare to show up duringsuch a time. To me, it was very, very bad news.


    After I had carefully checked the scene, I was brought to the backyard. The bodyguard wanted to follow me, but the policeman stopped him.


    Jiang Teng was sitting with a ssy, bespectacled man. From Jiang Tengs proper posture, I knew he was tense. Meanwhile, the elegant man looked more rxed.


    When he saw me, the elegant man waved his hand. The policeman left.


    Then, the man assessed me fromheadto toe. I heard from Old Jiang that youhave a lot oftalents.Ill giveyou three days to capture that murderous, ghostly thing. Is it a problem? He drawled his words. His finger tappedthe table from time to time.


    As I hadnt answered him yet, the man added,Mr. Zhang, you have many good things in your shop, right? I guess some of them are national treasures.


    I was startled inwardly. This man had investigated me thoroughly within one day! I knew he had an important background.


    Its no problem!The corner of my mouth twitched when I agreed with him.But in my heart, I was cursing the eighteen generations of his family.


    On the way back, I didnt talk to Jiang Teng. This man wasnt reliable at all. I hadnt made any progressonhis case, and he had directly sold me out.


    Jiang Teng checked me. He didnt have the guts to talk. The bodyguard knew the situation wasnt good. He kept his mind on the roadand didnt sayanything.


    As soon as the car stopped, I was attracted by the noise outside the vi. The gray-haired man hade back!


    He was like an enraged lion, burning the paper money in front of the vi. The bodyguard had muffled him. He couldnt talk,apart from letting outsome low whimpers.


    I turned to take a look at Jiang Teng.Hewas looking at the old man with hostile eyes. I was shockedand felt amurderous intent from Jiang Teng.


    When Jiang Teng recognized that I was looking at him, he put awayhiscruel countenanceand saidreluctantly,Forgive me, weve bumped into a trouble-maker.


    Then, he asked the bodyguard to get out of the car and direct his staff to shoo the man away. When the old man was thrown out of the gate, he shot me a menacing nce.


    I was sure that my eyes werent blurred this time. However, I didnt think about it much.Since I hadsatwith Jiang Teng inhiscar, hemight have thoughtthat I was Jiang Tengs new hound.


    I didnt linger in that thought. Aftertaking a deep breath, I told the bodyguard,Get me a pot of cooked glutinous rice and a bowl of fresh rooster blood immediately. I will also need two wax candles and a sheet of white paper!


    The bodyguard didnt say anything and rushed to prepare the items.


    What are you going to do? asked Jiang Teng.


    I spat the words,Congregating the spirits!


    Congregating the spirits was simr to Ouija, the game young people liked to y, justmore dangerous. It was easy to invitespirits when ying Ouija, but it was tough to send them away. The spiritsonecould invitemight even bertively powerful and with deep hatred. However, as long asthe userfollowed the rules, they wouldntbe harmed.


    Congregating the spiritswasdifferent. Whenonecongregated spirits,theywould massively invite all kinds of ghosts and spirits. Iftheywere careless,theycould even invitesuper strong spirits.Iftheydid,those guys would not leave without a sacrifice!


    Ihad no other choice now. If I couldnt solve thespiritwithin three days, I would be finished. I should tryitonce.Ifmy luck was good, perhaps I could summon thespiritthatwas causingtrouble.


    The items I requested were normal and easy to find.Around anhourter, the bodyguard returned.


    I told him to turn off all the lights in the vi. In the end, weonlyhadapair of wax candles to light up the living room. They lit the room withtheir faint yellow mes.


    When Ifeltthe time was right, I told Jiang Teng and his people,All of youshould go and wait in your rooms.No matter what noise youhear, do noeout!


    As they were already scared, they left immediately. No one wanted to linger.


    I shook my head reluctantly and spread the white paper sheet on the table.I directly dipped my finger into rooster blood and drew some red lines on the paper. The cookedglutinousrice was divided into four parts and ced in the four different corners of the paper. Together, they formed a simple Spirit Congregating Formation.


    Then, I squatted in front of the tableandrespectfully read the spell. Sacrifice with blood, using food to raise


    AsI read the spell, the red lines I had drawn on the paper slowly glowed. As the formation started to work, the red linesshonebrighter. When I finished reading the spell, the light created by the red lines on the paper floated up and created a strange butplicated diagram in the air.


    The Spirit Congregating Formation started to spin faster and faster. As the formation was moving, more and morespirits started to follow the light ande in.


    At first, there were some small ghosts. I could use some joss sticks and yellow paper money to send them away. Then, rtively strong ghosts came. I could use a drop of blood tosendthem off. However, as thespirits with stronger power arrived afterward, I had to struggle hard to deal with them.


    I held the Yin and Yang Umbre andcautiouslylookedat the ghosts that were fixing their eyes at me like a pack of hungry wolves. I couldnt help but curse.Damn it! I dont want to be drained before that thinges!


    After cursing, I decided to wait for two more minutes. If it didnte, I woulddeactivatethe Spirit Congregating Formation immediately!


    As soon as Ihadthis thought, a cold wind blew into the room. The ghosts that were bargaining with me immediately fled when they felt the wind.


    Instantaneously, a murderous aura pped my face.My legs felt like jelly. However, it was the only chance I had. Holding onto the Sirius Whiptightly,I was ready tofacethe enemy.
