Strange Occurrences at the Construction Site

"Something strange really had been happening at the construction site we'd been working on lately. One workmate said that when he got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, he saw several paper figures flying around. It nearly scared the soul out of him."

"Later, that workmate fell seriously ill. He'd only just recovered these past few days, but no matter what anyone said, he refused to go back to work at that construction site."

"The rest of us didn't think much of it. We just assumed that workmate had been sick and experienced some kind of hallucination."

"But strangely enough, many of the workers at our construction site have said that when they wake up after sleeping these past few days, they feel exhausted, as though they haven't slept enough."

"Some even said they suddenly felt very weak and got out of breath after doing just a little work."

"Even I've clearly felt weak all over these past few days. If I do even a bit more, I can't stop panting. None of us know what's causing it."

"So I came to the hospital to get checked out and pick up some medicine..."

After hearing He Mingyuan's words, Ning Wangshu immediately understood.

It seemed that, as expected, something demonic was indeed causing trouble at the construction site where He Mingyuan worked.

Ning Wangshu promptly said, "Uncle He, let's find a place first. An evil spirit has absorbed your essence and energy, and evil energy has entered your body."

"I need to first disperse the evil energy inside you. Then, after resting for a few days and replenishing your depleted essence and energy, you should be fine."

"But if the problem at your construction site isn't resolved, you'd better not go back there to work..."

"Otherwise, it'll happen again. If this goes on for too long, your essence and energy will keep draining away, and with the evil energy invading and eroding your body, your life could be in danger!"

He Mingyuan was shocked. "Wangshu, is that true? There really is an evil spirit at our construction site?"

Ning Wangshu nodded. "Although I haven't gone to your construction site to take a close look, based on what Uncle He just told me, it's probably nine times out of ten."

After a pause, Ning Wangshu added, "Once we find a place, I'll remove the evil energy that entered your body. Then you'll know whether I'm telling the truth."

Although He Mingyuan was still doubtful, this concerned his own life, so he hurriedly said, "Alright, alright! Wangshu, let's find somewhere right away. Help me get rid of that evil energy first..."

"Alright!"

Ning Wangshu nodded and pointed into the distance. "When I came over earlier, I saw a Golden Arch over there. At this hour, there shouldn't be many people inside. Let's use the restroom at Golden Arch."

"Alright! Let's hurry over..."

He Mingyuan could hardly wait.

A short while later, the two arrived at the Golden Arch and went straight into the restroom. It happened to be empty, so Ning Wangshu led He Mingyuan into one of the stalls.

"Wangshu, what do I need to do now?"

He Mingyuan looked at him eagerly and asked.

Ning Wangshu smiled. "Uncle He, you don't need to do anything. Leave it to me."

With that, Ning Wangshu immediately raised his hand and pressed his index and middle fingers together in a sword finger gesture. A flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared at his fingertips, and he brushed it across He Mingyuan's brow...

The next moment.

With a flicker of spiritual light, wisps of black mist quietly seeped out from He Mingyuan's body.

Seeing this, He Mingyuan's eyes widened in shock. He stared in disbelief at the black mist drifting from his body, then abruptly looked up at Ning Wangshu.

"Wangshu, this, this..."

His mouth hung open, utterly speechless.

Whether it was the black mist drifting from his body or the spiritual light that had appeared at Ning Wangshu's fingertips, both were simply unbelievable!

Ning Wangshu merely smiled and said, "This black mist is the evil energy that invaded your body, Uncle He."

As he spoke, he spread his five fingers. The drifting black mist immediately gathered in his palm. Then Ning Wangshu clenched his hand. A flash of spiritual light passed by, and the black mist instantly vanished without a trace...

"Uncle He, feel yourself out. Is your body any better than before?"

Ning Wangshu asked.

He Mingyuan came back to his senses and hurriedly focused on how he felt. He only felt refreshed and clear-headed. Then he moved his body around.

His face immediately lit up with delight. "Wangshu, I really do feel much better! That intense feeling of weakness from before is basically gone."

Ning Wangshu smiled. "That's good. Uncle He, just make sure to nourish your body properly over the next few days."

"Hmm!"

He Mingyuan nodded vigorously, then quickly said, "Wangshu, thank you..."

Ning Wangshu waved a hand. "Uncle He, why are you being so polite with me?"

He Mingyuan grinned, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Wangshu, just now... how did light come out of your fingertips?"

"And since when did you know how to 'exorcise evil'?"

Seeing the confused and curious look in He Mingyuan's eyes, Ning Wangshu smiled. "It's nothing much. I just happened to learn a few methods in this area."

He immediately changed the subject. "Alright, Uncle He, let's get out first. This restroom reeks..."

"Alright! We'll talk once we're outside!"

He Mingyuan replied.

They had just walked out of the Golden Arch when He Mingyuan was about to ask Ning Wangshu something else. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. He Mingyuan took it out, glanced at it, and hurriedly answered the call...

"Hello, Old Li, what is it? Wh-what!? All right, all right, I'll head over right away!"

After hanging up, He Mingyuan's expression turned extremely grim.

He looked at Ning Wangshu and said, "Wangshu, something happened to my nephew!"

"What happened, Uncle He?"

Ning Wangshu asked.

He Mingyuan took a deep breath. "A workmate just told me that after work started this morning, nobody saw my nephew anywhere. At first, they didn't think much of it. They just assumed he'd gone to the restroom or something..."

At this point, he paused before adding, "Oh, right—my nephew works with me at that Construction Site too."

"Then, just now, that workmate noticed that my nephew still hadn't shown up for work after so long, so he went looking for him. Who would've thought he'd actually find him in the restroom?"

"On top of that, my nephew had collapsed on the floor, and his face had turned black. He hurriedly called me and told me to call 120, while he got the other Workmates to carry my nephew back to the dormitory first..."

After saying that, He Mingyuan looked at Ning Wangshu again and could not help asking, "Wangshu, do you think... could my nephew have passed out because that Evil energy invaded him too?"

"Most likely."

Ning Wangshu nodded slightly.

"Then... then should I still call 120?"

He Mingyuan asked.

Ning Wangshu shook his head. "There's no need. The hospital would be helpless in this kind of situation. They probably wouldn't even be able to figure out what was wrong."

"How about this, Uncle He? Take me to your Construction Site directly. I'll help your nephew remove the Evil energy from his body. While we're there, I can also see exactly what's going on at your site."

"Okay, okay! Wangshu, then I'll have to trouble you..."

He Mingyuan hurriedly agreed.
