Zhong Kui's Diary
This Bip is simply a beast; he actually treats me as a weapon and even attempts to use my body to wield a sword!
It's so humiliating, damn it! This matter is far from over!
Nevertheless, I don't have time to complain. Watching the ignited talismans in front of Xiao Qingcheng getting closer and larger, I couldn't help but shout, "Focus, it's me!"
Xiao Qingcheng moved her fingers, and the talismans leaped like sprites, darting past me and charging towards Bip.
Bip let out a light sound of surprise, and with a flick of his hand, I suddenly lunged towards Xiao Qingcheng. In mid-air, my limbs flailed, and I ended up hugging Xiao Qingcheng tightly. The immense force caused us to tumble together.
"Let go of me!" Xiao Qingcheng exclaimed, flustered and embarrassed as I pinned her down.
I quickly got up and pulled Xiao Qingcheng to her feet. Turning around, I saw that a large number of talismans had already been extinguished by Bip, like squashed bugs; it was only a matter of moments before the remaining seven or eight would be snuffed out as well.
At that moment, Cui Gu Yi and others arrived at the door. Seeing the situation inside, Cui Gu Yi decisively ordered them to open fire. Four Black-clad Men drew their pistols and began firing wildly at Bip.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Bip let out a strange cry, raising both hands as if he were a balloon being rapidly inflated; even his hair stood up like a porcupine.
"Break!" Bip shouted fiercely.
The talismans from Xiao Qingcheng and the bullets from the Black-clad Men collided with something as resilient as SpongeBob. The bullets slowed down visibly before making a series of clinking sounds as they fell to the ground, while the burning talismans extinguished simultaneously.
Seeing this scene, an image of the Ghostly Zombie Old Man catching bullets with one hand flashed in my mind. One was casual about it while the other exerted all his strength to resist. It seemed that the Ghostly Zombie Old Man was much stronger than this Bip. From this perspective, even gods have their levels; humans can indeed harm demons. At least these bullets still held some deterrent power against them; otherwise, he wouldn't bother to resist. If only we had the white light from the Golden Blade Company's secret chamber; that thing could slice through ghosts like cutting vegetables.
Thinking of this, I shouted loudly, "Keep shooting; let's see if we can force him out!" Turning my head, I saw Fatty wandering around the room anxiously. "Have you found anything, Fatty?"
Fatty ignored me but moved even faster on his feet; it seemed he hadn't found anything yet.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang.
The Black-clad Men, without waiting for Cui Gu Yi to speak, continued firing their guns. Without exception, the bullets fell to the ground about a foot away from Bip.
"Get out now!" Xiao Qingcheng threw several talismans and, seeing me still staring at Fatty, couldn't help but shout at me, "What are you still doing in there? Hurry up, the bullets will run out."
I was taken aback and thought it made sense. Just as I was about to call Fatty out, I noticed Fatty had stopped, staring blankly at a spot. I shouted again, but seeing Fatty unresponsive, I rushed over and dragged him away. As we ran outside, Fatty kept looking back and finally said, "That Octagram definitely has something unusual!"
We quickly retreated outside, where we saw Bip standing at the end of the corridor with his arms crossed, his long hair eerily floating in the air, grinning wickedly at us. We stood outside the door, about ten meters away from Bip.
Once Xiao Qingcheng came out, her powers returned to normal. She pulled out a Peach Wood Sword and coldly assessed Bip from the doorway. Neither Xiao Qingcheng dared to go in nor Bip dared to come out; it had turned into a stalemate.
After a while, Bip smirked sinisterly, "If we just stay like this, it seems very unfavorable for you."
Everyone knew that once the situation was revealed, the Golden Blade Company would definitely know the key was stolen, and Li Feidao would come rushing in. Even if Li Feidao didn't come, we couldn't hold our ground against Bip; he was a ghost and didn't need to eat. There was no way we could withstand him.
I checked my phone; it was already five o'clock. If we didn't deal with Bip soon, we would really have to leave empty-handed.
"Where did you see that Octagram?" I asked Fatty.
"It was right above that cabinet, a white Octagram about the size of a fist hidden inside a silver metal Flower Board. If you don't look closely, you really can't see it," Fatty explained in detail. Cui Gu Yi seemed confused by the situation.
Xiao Qingcheng summarized what was happening inside and said, "To deal with this Bip, we must break that Restriction."
Cui Gu Yi whispered a few words to the four big men; one Black-clad Man nodded and stepped forward.
"We don't have many magazines left; each person has at most twenty bullets left, so we need to conserve ammunition. A Long has the best shooting skills. The other three will push this guy back with Qingcheng while A Long takes the opportunity to shoot that... switch. Estimating the distance, the cabinet is about ten meters from the Passage and the hall is about five meters high; A Long should be fine at this distance."
Everyone nodded; it seemed this was the most straightforward plan. Although Cui Gu Yi was young, her on-site command and judgment were impressive. Most importantly, she was decisive; this girl would surely achieve great things in the future.
Fatty carefully described the location of the Octagram to A Long. Aijia Yu had been silent until she saw Cui Gu Yi finish assigning roles and couldn't help but interject, "What can Brother Five and I do?"
Cui Gu Yi thought for a moment: "We can't be of much help; just stand by and act when necessary. A Long and your group need to conserve bullets; success hinges on this one move."
Fatty and I naturally fell into the category of those who couldn't help much but were eager to try our hand at it. It's strange how once there is a common enemy, all previous grievances can be set aside in solidarity against a foe.
Xiao Qingcheng raised her Peach Wood Sword; her lips trembled slightly as the sword's tip emitted a golden light over a foot long. After waving it a couple of times, she pulled out all her talismans—there were nearly dozens—and shook them in her hand as she walked forward. A Long and his three companions tightly gripped their guns and followed closely behind us—me, Fatty, Aijia Yu, and others trailing behind.
Bip stood at the end of the corridor, watching us approach without retreating, only sneering coldly.
I looked with some concern at the golden sword light at the front of Peach Wood Sword, as I noticed that with each step Xiao Qingcheng took, the sword light weakened. When we were less than two meters away from Bip, the sword light, which was over a foot long, had surprisingly diminished to just about an inch.
"Fire!" Xiao Qingcheng commanded. The talismans in his left hand were all ignited and placed on the wooden sword, causing the golden sword light at the tip to suddenly flare up again, growing back to half a foot.
At the same time, A Long and the others began to fire at Bip. The gunfire was not as dense as before, but it was steady and rhythmic.
Bang! Bang bang! Bang! Bang bang!
A trace of mockery flashed across Bip's lips as his entire figure flickered for a moment, bursting into a series of white Starburst in mid-air, then with a 'pop', he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.
Was that it? We could hardly believe it.
Seeing this, A Long and the others immediately stopped shooting and rushed to the Passage. The scene before us left us dumbfounded; there were actually about twenty Bip in the hall, with ten or so standing on the ground and another ten or so rising and falling in mid-air.
Damn, he can clone himself?
Just as we were stunned and unsure of what to do, Cui Gu Yi shouted from behind, "Shoot the Octagram above!" A Long and the others snapped back to reality and raised their guns to look for targets above the cabinets.
Then all four of them gasped loudly. I looked up and couldn't help but curse; there were suddenly thirty or so white Octagram shimmering with silver light above the cabinets, seemingly mocking us.
"Fire!" Cui Gu Yi shouted again. "Take down one if you can!"
Once again, Cui Gu Yi had control of the situation, knowing that it was now a matter of luck. The four of them shot together; if they were lucky, they might hit the real body right away.
But how could Bip allow A Long and his team to shoot so calmly? A series of eerie wails echoed through the hall as all twenty or so figures of Bip shrieked and lunged toward the Passage.
Xiao Qingcheng swung Peach Wood Sword, striking one of the clones. Just like before, it exploded into a series of white Starburst in mid-air before 'popping' into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing.
Clearly, A Long and his team could not handle this so easily; they hurriedly fired at the clones rushing toward them. They finally remembered Cui Gu Yi's arrangement, with three people tightly surrounding A Long, providing cover as he aimed at the Octagram above. Bang! Bang! With each shot fired, one by one, the Octagram turned into black smoke and vanished.
With every swing of his sword, Xiao Qingcheng caused one clone to dissipate into black smoke. The other three Black-clad Man also managed to take down a clone with several shots. It seemed that if this pace continued, soon all of Bip's clones would be wiped out, and the Octagram above would be cleared by A Long.
It seemed that some were too happy too soon, as a sudden sharp roar echoed in the arena, followed by the sound of "Bip" in a sinister tone:
"Secret—Transmission—Clone—"
With a series of pops, several more "Bip" clones appeared in the air, and the previously vanished "Octagrams" reemerged one by one. In the blink of an eye, there were still about twenty "Bip" clones, and the "Octagrams" continued to flicker with silver light above.
At that moment, each of us felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion, a deep-rooted feeling of helplessness. How much longer would this "Motherfucker" continue?
"Continue!" Cui Gu Yi issued another command. At this point, there was no choice; everyone could only grit their teeth and keep attacking.
With the final gunshot, A Long and the other three finally dropped their weapons in despair, as they had run out of bullets. The red blade aura at the tip of Xiao Qingcheng's Peach Wood Sword had completely vanished, requiring three or four strikes to turn one clone into black smoke.
"Exit to the outside passage!" Cui Gu Yi suddenly shouted sharply. We turned around to see that we had unknowingly stepped more than two meters into the room.
"It's too late; die!"
The remaining ten or so "Bip" clones suddenly surged toward one of the clones, ultimately merging into a single "Bip." This "Bip" stood at the Passage, sneering at us. The phantom "Octagrams" above the cabinet all disappeared, leaving only one "Octagram" hanging above the cabinet, shimmering with silver light.
