After surviving, Xiao Mo did not get carried away by joy. He calmed down and immediately found Li Shuai to tell him the way to dispel the ghost.

  Li Shuai, still half asleep, didn't even ask any questions and obediently deleted the photos from his phone. Afterwards, he yawned again and went back to sleep. Li Shuai once again showed Xiao Mo his extremely careless nature, but for Xiao Mo, it was no longer a big deal because he had already repaid the favor he owed Li Shuai earlier.

  The old man obviously knew what had happened at night, so on the second day at noon, Lao Gao announced his return and returned directly to "Qingming Road 2" without stopping halfway.

  On the way back, everyone chatted in a scattered manner. Except for Zhang Tianyi and Xin Yan, who still had an icy expression, the rest of the people's attitude towards Xiao Mo had changed.

  "Unbelievable! You little brat is actually this fierce, you even killed a ghost!"

  Xiao Mo could feel it, since last night Li Shuai's attitude towards him had changed a lot, and he would occasionally tease him with a few words.

  "You're quite impressive, you managed to kill a ghost just by sleeping."

  Xiao Mo's retort was equally sharp, leaving Li Shuai unable to gain any advantage, and in the end he had no choice but to shut up. The rotten monk's mood wasn't bad today either, and after seeing Li Shuai shut up, he asked Xiao Mo:

  "How did you think of the problem being in the photo?"

  "It's considered reasoning if you think of it disappearing through the victim's mobile phone."

  Xiao Mo didn't want to recall what had happened last night, so he only gave a vague answer. The rotten Taoist also saw that Xiao Mo was unwilling to say more, so he smiled and changed the subject:

  "In any case, in short, we survived this time without any danger, and that's worth celebrating."

  "What's there to celebrate!"

  Zhang Tianyi's words were like a basin of cold water, poured heavily on the rotten monk's head, and the rotten monk suddenly became embarrassed. Xiao Mo also showed anger on his face after hearing it, to be honest, he was very disgusted with Zhang Tianyi, not only because of his arrogant attitude, but also his indifferent expression.

  However, Xiao Mo is not a person who likes to interfere in other people's business, and it's hard to say how long he will still be with Zhang Tianyi, so this kind of offense that can be settled with just one or two sentences is not worth it.

  Xiao Mo didn't care, but Li Shuai did. He gave Zhang Tianyi a sideways glance with ill intentions and said in a cold voice:

  "You little brat, your mouth is really stinky! Are only dead people worth celebrating?"

  "Whatever you think, anyway, I hope you don't get too excited too early, because it's just the beginning. Don't forget why we're participating in stopping supernatural events."

  "Isn't it just that you didn't get the key? Look at you..."

  "Alright, let's just say less."

  When Li Shuai and Zhang Tianyi were about to quarrel, Lao Gao immediately stopped them:

  "Whether or not we got the key, this trip was worth celebrating. At least we got rid of two ghosts and vented some anger. But let's not underestimate these things, lest we invite disaster."

  The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned cold, and no one had the interest to chat or talk nonsense anymore. Everyone looked out of the window that was rapidly receding into the distance, each lost in their own thoughts.

  As they were about to arrive at Liao Yuan City, Xiao Mo couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and started chatting with the rotten Taoist beside him:

  "When I was at the hotel, I saw you stuck a lot of yellow paper on the door. Were those all drawn by you?"

  "En, that belongs to a kind of spell, which can play a certain role in driving out evil spirits and avoiding ghosts."

  "Can reciting scriptures really drive away ghosts?"

  Xiao Mo had always been skeptical about this, and some books mentioned that Buddhist teachings could be used to ward off evil, but he wasn't clear what "evil" referred to. In his opinion, it should refer to demons, not ghosts or spirits.

  Upon hearing this question, Monk Mianran's expression suddenly turned strange. After a brief silence, he asked Xiao Mo:

  "You don't think I'm a monk, do you?"

  For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the rotten monk, and even Old Gao, who was driving, was no exception. It was clear that the rotten monk's answer had left them all extremely surprised.

  The situation was so chaotic that the law master couldn't help but smile wryly. He scratched his head and explained:

  "I'm actually a Taoist, and have nothing to do with monks."

  "You said you're a Taoist, not a monk?" Li Shuai opened his big mouth, his face full of disbelief, and he pointed at the rotten Buddhist beads on the master's hand and asked:

  "What's in your hand?"

  "This was something I got from a temple visit years ago, people said it's quite effective so I've been carrying it with me ever since."

  "What's with your bald head?"

  "It's cool! I don't think there's a rule that only monks can shave their heads?"

  Xiao Mo felt like he had been poked in the funny bone and suddenly burst out laughing, Lao Gao was also laughing uncontrollably, even the speeding car was forced to stop. Xin Yan and Zhang Tianyi also rarely showed a hint of a smile, the cold warmth in the car instantly warmed up.

  The rest of the journey was relatively smooth in the car, and there was no disturbance from Zhang Tianyi. They finally returned to "Qingming Road 2" around midnight.

  After sitting in the car for a whole day and it was already late at night, so when we got back, no one spoke to each other, not even a greeting, and everyone went back to their rooms.

  He went back to his room, took a hot bath, and then ate a bowl of noodles. After doing all this, he finally threw himself onto the bed. Lying on the warm and comfortable bed, the fatigue that had been accumulating over the past few days suddenly surged up like a tide, and in less than a minute, he fell fast asleep.

  He didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he was awakened by a series of rapid footsteps. The sound seemed to be coming from someone running up the stairs. Who could it be?

  Xiao Mo was too lazy to open his eyes, he turned over and fell back asleep, but after a while, the door outside came with a few more whispers:

  "The passage will be opened soon, and it seems that tonight is not going well."

  "Alas, another cycle is about to begin... can we still survive?"

  "There's nothing we can't do, maybe in this cycle, we'll be able to gather enough keys, and then..."

  "Do you think it's a bit dangerous? What if that place is also a trap?"

  "Who knows, but we have no choice, do we? What else can we do but believe?"

  These two voices were very familiar, like Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao, but it was unknown what they were doing outside his door so late at night. As the soft conversation between the two people entered, Xiao Mo also gradually became clear-headed, and finally he got out of bed and carefully stuck to the edge of the door.

  But he heard... two miserable cries outside the door!

  Xiao Xiao was startled and the last bit of sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

  "What's going on? Is there a ghost?"

  Xiao Mo didn't dare to make a sound, he still stuck to the door and listened carefully, but there was no more noise coming from outside. Xiao Mo was curious about the situation outside, but his heart was filled with unknown fear, just now those two miserable cries he was very sure, were Lao Gao and Zhang Tianyi's, didn't know what these two people had experienced.

  Moreover, they seemed to have anticipated this, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed to his door so late at night. Xiao Mo had all sorts of guesses, but none of them were confirmed.

  "Hiss..."

  Just as Xiao Mo was hesitating, he suddenly saw a shadow slipping through the door gap, and this shadow was actually... it was actually opening the door!!!!!

  Xiao Mu's expression suddenly became terrified, he desperately retreated backwards, but the shadow opened the lock on the door and came in!!!
