Zhong Kui's Diary
Love has unexpectedly become a bargaining chip.
Whether this is the sorrow of Shattering Stone or the sorrow of Li Xinyan, it is definitely not the sorrow of Lingfeng. Lingfeng looked at Shattering Stone with amusement, his lips curling into a strong disdain. It was clear to everyone that he thought, with you, how could you possibly stop me from being with Xinyan?
Suddenly, four or five people rushed in from outside, including Brother Lin, pushing and shoving each other. It seemed that Shattering Stone had brought two friends along as well, and the scene was chaotic with Brother Lin's three people desperately blocking Shattering Stone's three companions.
Brother Lin rushed forward and tightly hugged Shattering Stone, who immediately struggled fiercely, shouting, "Li Xinyan is mine! No one can take her away!"
As they struggled, something fell out from Shattering Stone and landed on the Bluestone Slab with a clatter. I couldn't help but look over and found that what had fallen was actually a bronze mirror.
The back of the mirror was facing up, its design ancient and simple, with a fish-shaped handle on both ends. Moreover, the pattern on the back clearly depicted a smiling face.
Yeling Mirror!
I quickly stood up, the heavy chair behind me scraping loudly against the ground before crashing to the floor. With a run-up, I leaped over the more than one-meter-high carved railing and charged directly in front of Shattering Stone, grabbing him by the throat and sternly demanding, "What is this mirror about?"
More people jumped over from behind—Kong Xuan and Fatty. Fatty rushed over to subdue Shattering Stone's two friends and tossed them aside, while Kong Xuan picked up the Yeling Mirror and nodded at me. "That's right; it carries the aura of 'This is a Shadow Spirit; how could it appear here?'"
With my grip on Shattering Stone's throat, his face turned red as he gasped for air while glaring at me with anger.
"Zheng Nan!" I heard Li Xinyan calling from behind. Turning to look, I saw Xinyan gazing at me pitifully. "Actually, he's not a bad person."
Glancing at Lingfeng, who looked at Xinyan affectionately before helplessly saying to me, "How about we find a place to ask him?"
At that moment, the restaurant owner came running over—a burly man in his forties named Cao Da Ma Zi—standing beside me and shouting loudly, "Hey! Don't cause trouble in my establishment! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face. In terms of Underworld matters, Captain Zhang from the Public Security Team is under my command... in terms of black market dealings, Liu Mazi from East City is my brother-in-law..."
I ignored the boss and didn't let go of Shattering Stone's throat, dragging him directly outside. Damn, when this guy was controlling the Shadow Spirit, he didn't hold back. If it weren't for Kong Xuan, the City-Slayer being by my side, both Lingfeng and I would probably be dead by now. Xinyan didn't know the situation and thought he wasn't a bad person. Because of that, I wanted to give Li Xinyan some face and not confront Shattering Stone directly in front of her.
After taking just a couple of steps, another box fell from Shattering Stone, landing on the Bluestone Slab. The box opened, and a copper coin rolled out. When I saw the coin on the ground, I couldn't help but softly exclaim. At the same time, Kong Xuan also gasped in surprise.
The copper coin on the ground was actually a Yin-Yang Ancient Coin.
Kong Xuan had one of these before; it was taken by Qing Qiu's grandfather, Ghost Zombie, when we were dealing with the female ghost Qing Qiu. I never expected to find another one here.
How did Shattering Stone have so many treasures? The Yin-Yang Ancient Coin and Yeling Mirror were both here. My mind was filled with doubts; it seemed I really needed to ask this guy properly.
I handed Shattering Stone over to Fatty for supervision, bent down to pick up the coin, placed it back in the box, casually tucked it into my pocket, and turned to call Lingfeng and the others to head out.
Just before leaving, the Cao Da Ma Zi boss awkwardly stopped me: "Brother, what should I call you? Well, since you've already opened the dishes, you should at least give something back, right?"
I couldn't help but smile wryly as I took out a hundred yuan and handed it to him: "My name is Zhong Zhengnan; is this hundred enough?"
The Cao Da Ma Zi boss was overjoyed as he took the money and said with a smile: "That's enough! That's enough! Goodbye, Boss Zhong!"
We stepped outside. I asked Aijia Yu and the other girls to escort Xinyan home first while the four of us men found a secluded corner nearby.
Fatty threw Shattering Stone onto the ground and kicked him a couple of times before standing beside me. I coldly asked, "Where did you get this Yeling Mirror and Yin-Yang Ancient Coin?"
Shattering Stone spat twice. Although the light was dim, it illuminated his face filled with resentment clearly. He glared at me fiercely before shifting his gaze to Lingfeng: "You're the one who's going to marry Xinyan, right?"
Lingfeng smiled slightly: "It's obvious that Xinyan made the right choice. In terms of height, looks, family background, and career, I'm ahead of you by more than just a little."
Fatty Kong Xuan, the three of us looked at each other in shock. We all knew Lingfeng; he was the perfect representative of a noble family. Although he had his wild and unruly moments, I had never seen him speak so sharply and without leaving any face for the other party. Moreover, what he said was no longer about saving face; it was like slapping the other person in the face, a direct and overwhelming blow.
Shattering Stone's face grew increasingly ferocious. "Is that so? Do you think you can have Xinyan?"
"Yes, I will have Xinyan, and I will accompany her until old age!" Lingfeng stepped forward, a mocking smile on his lips. "Honestly, you are not even qualified to be my opponent. However, since you have used This is a Shadow Spirit, how could it appear here? to threaten my life, I will no longer show you mercy. I can tell you right now that there will be a news report in Ming Sha City stating that you will be run over by a dump truck!"
"Who will die remains to be seen!" Strangely enough, Shattering Stone's face also showed a hint of mockery.
"Kong Xuan, did that mirror react?" I felt something was off and shouted at Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan took out the mirror and looked around: "Nothing's wrong!"
Shattering Stone's mockery deepened. "Earlier in the shop, I was cautious because there were too many people and I didn't want to hurt innocents. Now you have chosen such a secluded place to seek death; I can't be blamed for that! Don't you know that Yeling Mirror is just a teleportation array?"
At that moment, Shattering Stone's lips moved slightly as if chanting a spell.
"Not good!" I kicked Shattering Stone in the chin.
Damn, if what Shattering Stone said was true and Yeling Mirror was just a teleportation array, then what he was muttering must be the incantation to release This is a Shadow Spirit, how could it appear here?
With a thud, my kick struck Shattering Stone's chin, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying two meters away.
At that moment, a pale smiling face began to drift out from Yeling Mirror.
Shattering Stone struggled to get up, snorted coldly, pointed at me, and shouted fiercely: "First kill this one!"
"Bang bang bang!" A few gunshots rang out as Fatty pulled out his gun and fired several shots at Shattering Stone.
Shattering Stone staggered back a few steps, blood oozing from several wounds on his chest and face. His eyes widened in disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend that Fatty would so boldly open fire.
"Get lost!" Fatty cursed as he kicked Shattering Stone to the ground.
I felt both angry and amused, too lazy to care about Shattering Stone's fate, because more Shadow Spirits had already begun to emerge from the Yeling Mirror. Pale, twisted faces floated in the air, all grinning ominously at me.
Kong Xuan raised the copper mirror and slammed it down onto the ground with all his might. The mirror hit the floor with a loud clang and rolled a few times, seemingly having no effect, as more and more Shadow Spirits continued to pour out of it.
"Is there any way to stop them from coming out?" I shouted at Kong Xuan.
"What kind of way is there! The only way was to prevent that guy from chanting the spell earlier. Damn it, we should have killed that beast long ago!" Kong Xuan yelled back at me.
Seeing this, Fatty fired several more shots at the copper mirror until he emptied the magazine. The sound of the gun's hammer clicking echoed as he finally stopped and looked at the mirror.
The copper mirror was dented and deformed from Fatty's shots, but it had no effect on the emergence of the Shadow Spirits; in fact, they were appearing faster and in greater numbers.
At first, Kong Xuan held the copper box in one hand while trying to absorb the Shadow Spirits with the other. Eventually, he gave up entirely after absorbing three or four of them, realizing that there were already thousands of Shadow Spirits floating above us, densely packed and undulating... Even if he absorbed them one by one, it would take until next year to finish.
Soon after, no more Shadow Spirits emerged from the copper mirror. Above us were countless white Shadow Spirits, all facing me with their eerie smiles rising and falling as they floated.
Fatty had reloaded his gun and fired three shots at the Shadow Spirits. After realizing that bullets had no effect on them, he turned to Kong Xuan and shouted, "What are they trying to do? Why are they all targeting Ghost Brother?"
"That beast wants to kill Zheng Nan before it dies!" Kong Xuan replied hoarsely.
Damn, Kong Xuan was not feeling well, and it seemed to remind these Shadow Spirits of their presence. In an instant, the fluctuations of the Shadow Spirits became much more pronounced.
“Zheng Nan, Transforming Illusions into Reality!” Kong Xuan shouted, then kicked Fatty aside and urgently said, “You and Lingfeng go call Qingcheng. Uh... Guo'er is on duty tonight... Damn, you two stand back a bit!”
Fatty quickly pulled Lingfeng to the side. They both knew that in a struggle against Demons like this, they couldn't help at all; standing aside to avoid distracting us was the right thing to do.
I silently recited Transforming Illusions into Reality, my eyes fixed on the Shadow Spirits before me.
The fluctuations of the Shadow Spirits grew faster and faster, their pale white smiling faces rising and falling rapidly, dazzling me. Just when I didn't know what to do, all the Shadow Spirits suddenly stopped moving. Kong Xuan shouted, “Heart!”
With a 'whoosh,' a Shadow Spirit darted toward my face like lightning.
I slightly tilted my head and punched the Shadow Spirit. With a 'poof,' the Shadow Spirit was actually knocked into smoke by my punch.
“Damn, what a joke! Come on!” Seeing this, my courage surged, and I shouted at the Shadow Spirits. But I quickly fell silent because I saw that the smoke twisted in mid-air and surprisingly reverted back to a smiling face.
This smiling face grinned at me and charged at me again. At that moment, the second, third, and fourth Shadow Spirits also began to pounce toward me, followed by a swarm of Shadow Spirits rushing towards me.
