Upon arriving at the police station, I found Chen Shan and Qin Hai.
Chen Shan wore a serious expression as he looked at me and asked, "Song Fei, is this monster really as powerful as you say?"
I nodded. "Brother Chen, the situation is very serious. If we don't kill it now, I estimate that once it has consumed a large amount of human Essence, no one will be able to control it anymore. By the way, can you check on Lin Xia? See if she has any travel records or if she went on a trip."
Chen Shan nodded without questioning my reasoning and quickly found the results. "It appears she hasn't traveled; at least she didn't buy train or bus tickets using her ID."
I took a deep breath. "It seems my deduction was correct. This monster must have killed Lin Xia out of fear that she would discover its true nature. Alright, let's head over there and set up our plan!"
Yang Gou Dan stood confidently with his bald head gleaming, which reassured both Chen Shan and Qin Hai.
We arrived at the location and reviewed our strategy while Chen Shan cleared out the nearby personnel.
Yang Gou Dan set up the thirty-six Bronze Man Formation. I looked at him and said, "Dog Egg, this time we’re counting on you."
Yang Gou Dan replied impatiently, "Hurry up! Get the monster over here so we can kill it; I want to get back to my game."
I felt a bit speechless as I checked my various talisman equipment before heading toward Lin Xia's area.
When I reached Lin Xia's front door, I took a deep breath and knocked firmly.
The sky had already darkened.
After a moment, the door opened, revealing Zheng Lianshan looking at me with impatience. "What do you want this time?"
"I’m not here to buy makeup this time; I genuinely want to ask you something," I said with a smile plastered on my face.
"What do you want to ask? I don't have time," Zheng Lianshan said, about to close the door.
I quickly grabbed the door, mustering my courage, and caught hold of Zheng Lianshan's arm. "Zheng Lianshan, I really admire you. That plan of yours to make a billion in three years sounded particularly reliable. I'm here specifically to consult you about it. You can't refuse me; don't forget, I was the one who saved you last time."
Zheng Lianshan glared at me. "Get away!"
I slung my bag over my shoulder and grinned. "Don't be so heartless. After all, I'm your savior. How about this? Let me come in and sit for a bit, and we can have a good chat."
"Do you really want to come in?" Zheng Lianshan looked at me with a hint of cold amusement.
I nodded. "Of course! Just share your money-making theories with me." With that, I stepped toward Zheng Lianshan's room. Inside, I felt quite anxious; I suspected that once I entered, I might never come out again. But I was gambling on the idea that Zheng Lianshan wouldn’t dare let me in because once inside, I would undoubtedly discover something unusual about the place. At that point, he would have no choice but to kill me. If he did that, the police would inevitably investigate, and he would need to change his identity to hide.
For Turtle Spirit, its greatest desire was to live comfortably under Zheng Lianshan's identity while secretly feeding on human Essence on Main Street until it regained enough strength to reveal its true self.
But right now, Turtle Spirit was still too afraid.
I was betting that Zheng Lianshan wouldn’t let me into the house.
Sure enough, Zheng Lianshan blocked my path and smiled. "You saved my life, and now you want a reward? How opportunistic! Fine, I'll share some insights with you; it’s actually quite easy. Just listen."
I seized the opportunity. "How about this? Since Lin Xia isn’t home, let’s head outside to a street stall and chat over drinks. Standing here is just boring."
Zheng Lianshan nodded. "Alright!"
With that, Zheng Lianshan turned back and closed the door behind us as we headed downstairs together.
To be honest, Zheng Lianshan had been acting completely normal, almost too normal. If I hadn't suspected him from the beginning and occasionally caught a whiff of the fishy smell on him, I would never have guessed that he was actually Turtle Spirit.
I was afraid that Zheng Lianshan might make a move against me, so I deliberately lagged two steps behind as we walked.
As the light began to fade, Zheng Lianshan's vigilance noticeably decreased. He didn't even realize that there were unusually few customers around, while in the distance, Qin Hai and Chen Shan were busy stopping patrons.
We entered a roadside food stall.
Zheng Lianshan took a seat.
I called out loudly, “Boss, bring us two dishes and two bottles of wine, make sure it's warm.”
No one inside responded.
I stood up and called out again, “Boss, Boss!” I shouted as I walked into the stall. Then I came out carrying a basin and asked, “Where did this stall's Boss go?”
Zheng Lianshan sensed something was off. He stared at me and then looked around.
I placed the basin on the table and said, “No worries, if the Boss isn't here, we can eat by ourselves. There's a freshly prepared Bastard here; let's just make do with it.”
With that, I lifted the lid of the basin.
Inside lay a freshly slaughtered Bastard, still bleeding, its head severed!
Of course, this was all part of our plan.
After placing the basin down, I kept my gaze fixed on Zheng Lianshan.
Zheng Lianshan looked at the basin containing the Bastard, momentarily stunned. Then, the muscles on his face began to twist, and he suddenly lifted his head to stare at me, a greenish glow flickering in his eyes.
"It seems you know everything!" Zheng Lianshan's voice became unusually ethereal and distant. He sneered at me, "I never would have guessed that a mere child like you would dare to challenge me in wits and magic. How laughable! Hahaha! But I still want to know how you spotted the flaw."
Hearing Zheng Lianshan's admission, I didn't waste any more words. I abruptly splashed the Bastard from the basin toward him. At that moment, I dared not say anything further, for speaking could very well cost me my life!
"Seeking death!"
Zheng Lianshan lunged at me with incredible speed; in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of me. Suddenly, his head transformed into that of an old turtle, covered in disgusting bumps. It opened its mouth and lunged at my face.
Of course, I was prepared. My arm swung fiercely as I activated the Witch Dance Technique, forming a shield of light that blocked the Turtle Spirit's head.
Zheng Lianshan was momentarily stunned. Seizing this opportunity, I kicked out with all my strength, sending him flying several meters away.
At that moment, a golden light shot toward us from a distance, followed closely by Yang Gou Dan's agile figure racing after it.
"Namo Amitabha! Seal!"
Although Yang Gou Dan was small in stature, his presence was overwhelming. In an instant, the Buddhist beads in the air flew toward Zheng Lianshan, glowing with golden light as they smashed down upon him.
Zheng Lianshan extended his hand, which transformed into a fleshy claw—like that of a turtle—and surprisingly caught Yang Gou Dan's Buddhist beads!
"Monk! This body is human! Are you not afraid of killing this flesh-and-blood human with your attack?" the Turtle Spirit shouted loudly, a cold smile on its face.
Yang Gou Dan may have been small, but his aura was anything but weak. He pointed forward and declared loudly, "The life of a human is of no concern to me. Today, I will kill you; even if it costs a thousand lives, I will slay you!"
As he spoke, Yang Gou Dan slightly shook his fingers before bringing his hands together in prayer. He continuously chanted a series of Buddhist scriptures. With a resonant "Om," the beads burst forth with brilliant light and swiftly bound Zheng Lianshan.
With a sudden gesture from Yang Gou Dan, thirty-six beams of golden light illuminated the surroundings, forming the Thirty-Six Copper Man Formation. Under Yang Gou Dan's guidance, the golden light struck Zheng Lianshan with a tremendous force!
Zheng Lianshan coughed up a mouthful of old blood, and then, with a swift motion, a dark mist erupted from its body, transforming that blood into a Tortoise Shell in mid-air!
The golden light collided with the Tortoise Shell and was immediately blocked.
However, it was clear that Yang Gou Dan was incredibly powerful. Despite his age and short stature, he stood amidst the thirty-six Bronze Men as if he could withstand anything. The endless golden light repeatedly crashed against the Tortoise Shell.
The Turtle Spirit spat out three more mouthfuls of old blood, but it was bound by Yang Gou Dan's beads and couldn't move at all.
"Roar!"
The Turtle Spirit let out an enraged cry as a massive package of Spicy Strips suddenly appeared on its forehead!
I was watching with bated breath when this unexpected turn of events made me realize that things were about to go south.
Sure enough, upon seeing the Spicy Strips, Yang Gou Dan's attack power diminished significantly.
I never expected the Turtle Spirit to be so cunning; it had quickly identified Yang Gou Dan's weakness. It noticed the remnants of Spicy Strips at the corner of Yang Gou Dan's mouth and the packaging nearby, instantly realizing his fondness for them.
In an instant, it conjured up a fragrant package of Spicy Strips!
What the hell! This Old Tortoise Spirit is too formidable.
Seizing the opportunity while Yang Gou Dan's attack weakened, the Old Tortoise Spirit transformed into a dark mist, breaking free from the beads. Then it lunged toward me; clearly, despite being battered by Yang Gou Dan, its greatest hatred was still directed at me!
Seeing this, I turned and ran for my life.
The Old Tortoise Spirit transformed into a black mist, moving so swiftly that it quickly caught up with me.
In a moment of urgency, I abruptly pulled the Azure Thunderwood Staff from my bag and swung it down towards the Old Tortoise Spirit.
The Old Tortoise Spirit paused for a moment, then became even angrier, its massive head lunging towards me.
I was terrified and was about to summon all my strength to cast a spell.
At that moment, there was a loud "boom."
The Zen Staff in my hand suddenly flew up, and to my astonishment, an old monk appeared above the Zen Staff.
