As the Red-clothed Female Ghost let out one shrill scream after another, her body gradually shrank, her flesh and bones deteriorating.
In the end, only a tattered dark red dress remained, still giving off feeble whimpers.
The people who had fled in panic earlier had already stopped.
Those who were a little bolder even took out their phones to film what was happening.
There was no helping it. Forget ordinary people— even the Action Department personnel, who dealt with the supernatural on a regular basis, had never seen a scene like this.
Lu Bai watched the Red-clothed Female Ghost before him. Only when he sensed that most of her yin energy had been dispersed did he casually toss aside the willow branch in his hand and unleash another Palm Lightning strike at the red dress.
There was no doubt that, in this state, the Red-clothed Female Ghost couldn't withstand Lightning Law. She turned into a pile of charred fragments on the spot.
The remains looked familiar to Captain Mao. With mixed feelings, he looked at Lu Bai. "So that Old Man Tour Guide was your doing, too."
Lu Bai turned around and smiled. "Didn't I tell you from the start? You just didn't believe me."
Captain Mao did his best to suppress his shock, then asked with eager anticipation, "Would you be willing to join the Action Department?"
Sitting in Captain Mao's car, Lu Bai traveled from the quiet villa district halfway up the mountain toward the bustling city.
The tall buildings lining the road grew denser and more crowded.
Even in this world plagued by the supernatural, the streets were still filled with traffic during the day, giving the city a distinctly modern feel.
The trip wasn't very long, but it gave Lu Bai enough time to think.
