Chapter 45: There’s Only One Truth
The ball at the top of the stick fiercely collided with Wang Ying’s head, sending her whole body flying backward.
She curled into a ball, sliding along the ground until she barely stopped after hitting the table.
The stick under the immense force even bent slightly, but Wang Ying’s head was fine, without the imagined scene of brains splattering like tofu.
After taking one stick blow, Wang Ying made no more sounds, quietly shrinking on the ground as if dead.
Yu Xin watched with stars in her eyes from the side, covering her mouth and cheering, “So awesome!”
“Dead?” Zhang Qian shook the blood off the stick strangely.
It shouldn’t be. He didn’t infuse True Qi, so this one stick shouldn’t kill a ghost or Ghost Slave.
Unless this Wang Ying is a Ghost Controller, taken out by a surprise stick blow, unable to use Fierce Ghost ability?
But this stick succeeding undoubtedly acted like a shot in the arm for the classmates.
Even though two classmates were already down, some still felt they could do it.
A few bold male classmates even eyed their surroundings, picked up some handy weapons, eager to try. “Zhang Qian, is she dead? Do you need us to finish her off?”
As everyone knew, when ghosts in a game could be killed, the horror game turned into a shooting game.
But Zhang Qian doused them with cold water. “Call the police first. Ghosts aren’t that easy to deal with. This ghost is definitely off.”
“Why should we listen to you? Acting like you know all about it.” A classmate huddled in the corner incited, “Finishing off monsters is common sense, right? Ignore him. We can all stomp Wang Ying to death one by one.”
“Who are you?” Zhang Qian was a bit baffled. Does this guy have a problem?
“Finish your mom.” Liu Chuang, saved by Zhang Qian, supported himself against the walls to stand, cursing by name, “Tian Hao, get out here. Don’t think I didn’t see you just now.”
The person in the corner wanted to hide, but the classmate-formed human wall dispersed, revealing a sullen glasses guy.
Because no one played with him, he had been sitting in the corner, occupying the wall corner position from the start.
Seeing Zhang Qian’s unkind gaze, Tian Hao’s face showed some panic, but he forced calm. “I just made a suggestion. If everyone doesn’t want to, forget it…”
“Suggest your sister!” Liu Chuang rushed up with a punch.
Under the double boost of inertia and strength, Tian Hao instantly bent at the waist, painfully crouching down.
Liu Chuang was still unsatisfied, kicking him. “Fuck, what time is it and you’re still scheming against people!”
“Just now, it was you, you four-eyes, kicking my brother.”
After his anger, Liu Chuang felt pain assault again, so he quietly parted his legs to feel a bit better.
While sucking in cool air, he pointed out Tian Hao’s malicious intent. “Now still urging others to join in. Aren’t you just hoping we die?”
“I… I’m not afraid others get hurt? Anyway, you guys are strong and capable.” Tian Hao said, looking toward Zhang Qian. “You solved it so easily. I thought it was just a small problem.”
“Very good.” Zhang Qian nodded. “I think what you said makes a lot of sense.”
“Huh?” Tian Hao was a bit stunned.
He didn’t expect Zhang Qian to admit it so readily. Is this Zhang Qian really a fool?
But Zhang Qian immediately strode toward Tian Hao, lifting him up like a chick. “Since you think it’s a small problem, leave it to you to solve.”
With that, Zhang Qian threw Tian Hao out. “Go on, satisfy your wish.”
“Ahhhh—”
Tian Hao screamed miserably, landing beside Wang Ying, covered in fresh blood.
The slippery touch and pungent bloody smell stimulated Tian Hao’s nerves. Only then did he react fiercely, scrambling on all fours toward the door.
He cried and wailed while fleeing, “I was wrong! I won’t dare again!”
“Didn’t you think finishing off was needed? Here’s a weapon to sponsor you. Do your best.”
Zhang Qian remained unmoved, casually tossing the deformed extendable baton.
Hope he can verify some guesses…
The extendable baton smashed onto Tian Hao’s head with a bang, dazing his brain and blurring his vision.
Faint classmate exclamations came to his ears. Zhang Qian also reminded, “Suggest you hurry. Wang Ying seems about to sit up. Pick up the weapon and you have a slim chance.”
“This stick is like gold, definitely not ordinary. Zhang Qian handling this ghostly thing must be because of the stick. No reason I can’t…” Tian Hao psyched himself up inwardly, groping to pick up the stick, but touched an icy hand.
“Hehehe, so impatient?” A coy laugh came, startling Tian Hao into a scream.
Wang Ying had quietly awakened, leaning over Tian Hao and blowing a breath of cold air.
“Zhang Qian, hurry and save him…” Some female classmate couldn’t bear watching Tian Hao’s death, tugging Zhang Qian’s clothes. “Solving Wang Ying should be easy for you, right? We’re all classmates. No need to watch Tian Hao die in front of you?”
“If you can, you go.” Zhang Qian’s one sentence choked the female classmate back.
He wasn’t planning to watch an ordinary person’s death, just felt something strange.
Clearly the attack wasn’t complete. Prior attack target Liu Chuang hadn’t withstood even one attack. Why did Wang Ying switch attack targets?
From Wang Ying’s performance, she didn’t seem intelligent. Otherwise, upon waking, first thing would be either escape or revenge on Zhang Qian.
But she didn’t do that, instead choosing to continue attacking Tian Hao.
This proved Wang Ying might be a ghost or Ghost Slave, but definitely not an intelligent existence.
Moreover, Tian Hao, Liu Chuang, Fang Jun, Zhuang Min—these attack targets all happened to be related to Zhang Qian.
Just like someone manipulating everything from behind…
Zhang Qian snapped back, walking forward and casually kicking Wang Ying flying.
But this kick didn’t cause much damage. Wang Ying hit the walls, then twitched on the ground crawling toward other classmates, scaring them to scatter and escape.
“Zhang Qian, save us~”
“Don’t fear. I’m getting serious.”
Let’s test if this thing is really controlled by someone.
Zhang Qian’s hands quickly formed seals, chanting, “Lin Bing Dou Zhe all arrayed in front… Hasten as per the command—”
“Break!”
The final hand seal struck out, imprinting on Wang Ying from afar.
Done, Zhang Qian clapped his hands, exhaling. “Should be fine now. This is the exorcism command my master taught me. Struck evil demons all burst and die. This move never fails. No problem for this zombie.”
“Whoa, seems really effective!” A classmate pointed at Wang Ying excitedly.
The previously terrifying Wang Ying suddenly stalled, shriveled on the ground emitting shrill screams.
Moments later, her skin surged irregularly, then fiercely contracted, forcibly squeezing the inner flesh to burst open.
