Although Sun Pengs pistol was equipped with a silencer, due to the limitations of the palm-sized thunder gun and the special environment of the prison, the gunshot still traveled very far. Almost at the same time as the figure disappeared, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the cell: "Who fired the shot! Where did the shot come from..."

  As soon as the voice fell, the iron gate of the cell had been opened, and more than a dozen prison guards rushed in. The first one to enter shouted loudly with his handgun: "Everyone put your hands on your head and squat on the ground! Whoever dares to move will be shot dead!"

  Sun Baozi slowly got up from the bed, and together with Ximen Chaining, he squatted on the floor, holding his head. The equipment of the three Ximen Chaining was all in the hidden compartment, and there were no extra things on their bodies, but Sun Baozi was different. Although most of the equipment had also been handed over to Ximen Chaining for safekeeping in the hidden compartment, a few close-range gadgets he carried with him, at least Sun Baozis body hid a handgun and a short sword.

  After Sun Baozi and a few others had finished squatting, the prison guard began to conduct a thorough search of the entire cell. However, they only searched around the beds, no one thought that there would be a hidden compartment on the wall of the cell. After the search yielded no results, they started searching Sun Baozi and his companions bodies.

  At this time, the three of them, Xi Men, Lian and Ge, couldnt help but glance at Sun Baozi, their hearts racing with anxiety. Even if they were found out to be carrying guns, it wouldnt be a big deal, just a matter of revealing their identities. But this time, if the undercover operation was completely blown, things would get complicated, especially if the Civil Affairs Bureau got involved.

  However, Sun Baozi still seemed to be nobody, standing up with his hands raised and searched from head to toe. What made Ximen Qing and the other two peoples eyes widen in surprise was that after searching him thoroughly from inside out, nothing could be found except for the prisoners uniform on Sun Baozis body. Immediately afterwards, Ximen Qing and his brothers were also searched, and just like Sun Baozi, nothing was discovered.

  Having seen nothing gained, the leading prison guard was somewhat unwilling to give up. He personally searched Sun Baozi and several others again, and then rummaged through the cell for half a day. Just when he was about to give up, the prison guard found something unusual at the door.

  "Whats going on here!" The prison guard pointed to a scorch mark on the ground and said, "How can there be scorch marks on the ground? What have you all done?" He was pointing at the exact spot where the figure had been standing earlier. The scorch mark was left behind when the figure triggered the formation.

  But now, this cant be said. Sun Baozi glanced at the ground and said: "Report to the government, isnt it inappropriate for us to ask this question? Just look, theres something burning on top, Im not saying, the government itself sees if theres anything burned in this cell? Even if everything is burned to ashes, shouldnt there be some ash left?"

  Sun Baozi was shut down by the prison guard with just a few words. The guard glared at Sun Baozi for a while, then suddenly snorted and pointed to the top of his head, saying: "Dont be smug yet, every cell has surveillance cameras. Ill call up the footage later. If that gunshot earlier really had something to do with you guys, we wont let you off easy. The sentence will start at two years, no upper limit..."

  The prison guard hadnt finished speaking when another guard came over and whispered a few sentences in his ear. The guards expression changed immediately, and Ximen Chain, who was standing next to Sun Baozi and could read lips, pretended to scratch his head and said in an extremely low voice: "There are no surveillance cameras installed in this cell..."

  "What are you muttering about!" The prison guard shouted at Ximen Lian after seeing him, but Sun Baozi blocked his way, chuckled and said: "Report to the government! We also want to know what just happened. Just as we fell asleep, someone outside fired a shot. If its an execution, shouldnt you give us a decent meal first? To shoot while people are still sleeping is too inhumane!"

  Looking at Sun Baozis smirking face, the prison guards temper flared up. He took a step forward, grabbed Sun Baozis collar and said viciously: "You think youre so talkative, huh? Starting today, youll be living in solitary confinement! Lets see if you still have anything to say after half a month!" As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted at his colleagues: "Take this fatty to solitary confinement!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, someone at the entrance of the cellblock said, "What a big crime, and you still want to send him to solitary confinement?" At that moment, the warden walked in from outside, took a glance at Sun Baozi and his group, and then turned to the prison guard who had just spoken, saying: "The loud noise just now was someone setting off firecrackers outside the prison, it has nothing to do with inside. Ive already figured out what happened, the alarm has been lifted, you all go back to your normal duties."

  "Was that a gunshot? Who said such nonsense?" The prison guard was somewhat at a loss for words in front of the prisoner, trying to find an excuse for himself.

  "Did I say anything wrong?" the warden said with a glare.

  The prison guards face turned red, and he walked out the door with a sullen expression. The warden looked at Sun Baozi and was about to follow the guards out when Sun Baozi suddenly took a step forward and said loudly, "Reporting to the government, I have something to report!" Seeing that Sun Baozi had something to say, the guards stopped in their tracks again. Sun Baozi saw this and said once more, "Reporting to the government, there are too many people here, I wont be able to speak."

  The warden finally dispersed the guards, leaving only one person in the cell. As the guards left, they were all puzzled: "When did the old mans courage become so big that he dared to stay alone in the cell? Isnt he afraid of these prisoners rebelling..."

  After the prison guards left, the wardens expression changed instantly. He frowned at Sun Baozi and said, "Sun Baozi, did you just have a misfire? I told you not to put it in your hands..."

  His words had not been finished yet when Sunzi interrupted: "In this life Ive never fired a gun without hitting the mark"

  When the prison chief heard Sun Wus words, he seemed to understand something. His face began to turn from red to white, and after glancing around a few times, he said to Sun Wu: "Youre saying that there really is what youre looking for in this prison? How about it? Did that gunshot just now hit the mark? Why cant I see anything?"

  Sun Pangzi looked at the prison warden with a hint of a smile and said, "Dont ask about specific matters, knowing too much is a disease. However, there are a few things I need you to take care of. First, I want the latest floor plan of this prison, remember, it must be the latest one, even if a door has been opened somewhere, everything must be clearly marked. Also, in the next few days, I will arrange for more people to come in, and this time, my people will also be arranged among the prison guards..."

  The more Sun Pangzi spoke, the less confident the warden became. Taking advantage of Suns pause to catch his breath, he hastily interjected: "Sun, what exactly happened? Youre not making it clear and Im getting anxious. Otherwise, Ill immediately file a report and temporarily transfer the prisoners to another prison, leaving North Prison for you to do as you please. As long as I bring the prisoners back when things are settled, thats all that matters."

  "Dont worry, its nothing big." Sun Baozi patted the warden on the shoulder and continued, "In another three to five days, itll be settled. Not that Im saying this, but remember these two things: I want to see the blueprint tomorrow morning, and after my people arrive, Ill tell you what to do next."

  After the warden left, Sun Baozi turned his head to look at Ximen Qing and the others, saying: "Alright, now lets talk. What was that thing that just got shot by me? It didnt die even after being hit by a bullet from the Civil Affairs Bureau, it doesnt seem like an ordinary ghost."

  Normally, Xiong Wanyi would have started teasing Sun Baozi by now. But at this time, Xiong also didnt have the mood for it. After exchanging a glance with Xi Menlian and Lao Mo, it was still Lao Mo who spoke up first: "Gui Ya, earlier when Da Sheng fired his gun, he hit Gui Ya."

  Seeing Sun Peng still with a confused expression, Ximen Lian explained: "Gui Sha is one of the night-walking ghosts. Gui Sha is also called Kai Lu Gui. In the past, there was a saying among the ghost-catching Taoist circles: Night-walking thousand ghosts, Gui Sha walks first. When a night-walking ghost appears, it has a characteristic: it will appear in the same place for 100 consecutive days, and each day one more will appear, following the order. Today is Gui Sha, so tomorrow another one called Luo Tuo will appear. You may not know about night-walking ghosts, but when this name was transmitted to Japan, the Japanese gave it a new name: Hyakki Yakou ( Hundred Ghosts Night Parade). Have you heard of it?"

  "This game Ive played before" Sun Wuzi blinked his eyes, looking at Ximen Lian and said: "No matter how powerful it is, there are only about a hundred ghosts, right? Not to mention that in the past, Yang Xiao was in Qilin, an entire building of ghosts were scared away by me. As long as the bullets keep up, its just a matter of one or two hours"

  Ximen shook his head and said, "Ghosts are not the same, what you saw last time was a new ghost who had just died. The smallest of the Night Walkers is over a hundred years old, and the yin energy on their bodies is far beyond that of a new ghost. However, its been more than 50 years since the Night Walkers appeared, so this time they will appear in this prison."
