Chapter 1097: Tacit Understanding Between the Two of Them
“Oh, I got it on my face when I changed.” Helian Weiwei touched her own face and felt an urge to take a photo of him right now. But then again, it was better that he looked like this only in front of him, so she put the phone back into her pocket.
Baili Jiajue had long noticed her movements, and his eyes deepened. There were some things that he seemed to have forgotten to do to her last night.
But that was okay, he could completely make up for it the next night… When he thought about this, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.
Helian Weiwei always felt that this smile was a bit evil. Just as she was about to ask what he was laughing about, the rest of them came out too.
Jing Zifeng was undoubtedly the most outstanding person besides His Highness in terms of looks. The military uniform seemed to have been tailored for him, and every inch was very fitting.
As for the other people…Wu Fan was a monk, so when he was wearing a monk’s robe, it couldn’t be seen, but when he wore the military uniform, his pot belly became very obvious. Master Zhang’s figure was still fine, it was just that this person’s temperament was somewhat pretentious, so even when he wore a military uniform, he looked a bit like a traitor.
After they were all done changing, they got into the cars.
Their eyes had to be blindfolded, and that person once again apologized to them.
Helian Weiwei did not object. Wearing the blindfold meant she could just sleep in the car.
Baili Jiajue could also see that she was still sleepy. The two of them sat in the back and he got Helian Weiwei to just lie down on his lap.
He also wore an blindfold on his eyes. However, this did not affect his ability to identify the surrounding dangers. His fingers stroked Helian Weiwei’s hair from time to time, and the side of his face was so handsome that even the driver couldn’t help but take a look through the rear mirror.
Helian Weiwei only felt very comfortable. She nestled into Baili Jiajue’s embrace like a cat.
After he noticed the movements of the person in his embrace, the lines of his thin lips became much gentler. He bent down and kissed the top of her head.
Thankfully the soldiers were well disciplined and could keep calm no matter what. Otherwise, this amount of affection in front of them would have driven them mad by now.
The one who was driving coughed lightly.
Baili Jiajue raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. He was going to dote on the person he wanted to dote on.
That soldier immediately felt the aggressive look from Baili Jiajue from behind. He bit his lip aggrievedly and whispered to the person next to him, “Captain, when do you think I’ll be able to find a girlfriend?”
The captain thought to himself, “How am I supposed to know? I haven’t found one myself yet!”
However, he could not show it on the surface. He only replied in a dignified manner, “Keep your eyes on the road.”
The scenery outside gradually darkened. The weather in June changed as it pleased. At first, there was only a little wind, but when the car came to a stop, it was already raining heavily.
The sky was constantly rumbling with thunder. That sound always made people’s hair stand on end.
Master Zhang was the first to walk out of the car.
As soon as he hopped out, he was splashed by the puddles on the ground.
Someone was holding an umbrella for him, but the rain was simply too heavy. It hit the umbrella noisily and made one feel even more uncomfortable.
Why did it start to rain?
Besides, wasn’t that a terribly long drive? They had driven for more than two hours already. They had probably left the capital and reached the Hebei region.
Master Zhang was a pretty shrewd person after all. He seemed to be full of nothing but hot air, but he was calculating all these things along the way.
“Alright, everyone, you can take off your blindfolds.” The captain’s voice rang out again. It sounded really stuffy because it was covered by the sound of the rain.
Helian Weiwei’s blindfold was taken off by Baili Jiajue. As soon as her eyes opened, she saw a flash in the horizon and directly landed in the forest not far away.
In an instant, countless black crows flew over her head and screeched, as if they were a sign of something.
In this industry, there was a rule that it was not appropriate to catch ghosts during a thunderstorm.
This saying was not without reason.
Anything that was not clean would become extra ferocious on a rainy day.
In addition to the black crows flying over the sky, there was also this military villa built in the suburbs in front of them. It was not a good sign.
Master Zhang’s expression changed a little. “Why does it look like the scene before something suddenly comes back to life?”
As if in response to Master Zhang’s words, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Then, there was a heart-wrenching scream!
The scream was still panting too. Everyone could tell immediately that it was coming from the villa!
“What was that?” Li Ya immediately turned around and asked the captain who had brought them here.
The captain’s voice was very calm. “When you guys go in, you’ll know when you see the Old Master Song.”
Heaven Master Zhang didn’t dare to go in. However, with so many people around, he couldn’t just run away.
Moreover, no one could offend General Song either. No matter how afraid he was, he could only force himself to go in.
The rest were also a little hesitant.
After all, that cry was too terrifying. On a rainy day, it sounded especially terrifying.
Fortunately, the villa was brightly lit. These lights seemed to have dispelled a lot of yin energy.
The interior decoration was very gentle and grand. In the center of the hall, a large knife was hanging horizontally.
As for the other places, yellow talismans were pasted everywhere. There were even wind chimes hanging at the door.
The first thing Helian Weiwei saw was that wind chime.
Whose idea was it to hang wind chimes here?
Didn’t they know that wind chimes gathered Yin energy that attracted ghosts?
“Sir, I’ve brought him here.”
Upon hearing these words, the old man who had been sitting on the sofa all this time finally turned his head around. He was indeed old. Even his eyebrows were white and his hands were covered with age spots, but these didn’t affect the military temperament that he had accumulated over the years, especially when he looked at people. His eyes were filled with a sense of oppression.
“Please take a seat. It must have been hard for the masters to come here in the rain.” The old man smiled with a walking stick that had a dragon head on the top in his hand. He had the demeanor of a general.
However, he had been in a high position for a long time. So even though he had been taught well, his words always sounded like he was giving orders.
Master Zhang knew how to act appropriately, so he immediately said, “It’s not hard on us, it’s not hard at all. If you need something done, just tell me directly. When I received the registered letter, I was a little puzzled and I thought it was a prank.”
“The registered letter was written by my granddaughter. I didn’t know about it at first.” The old man’s voice deepened. “Many days ago, she started to say that there was a ghost at home but I didn’t believe it. In order to ask for help, she could only letters to exorcists via registered mail.”
“However, the people who came before had all come one by one, and there were accidents during the ghost-hunting process. It’s not good for such things to spread, so I brought her here. But even so, she would become very afraid at night. She said that there were some more exorcists who would be able to deal with this, but in order to prevent the accidents from happening again, she wrote a letter to all the exorcists she knew at the same time.”
