Shu Cheng and Chen Anbang, along with five others, quickly caught up with Ji Nanshu and Pei Qi.
Pei Qi drove for about forty minutes to reach the entrance of Ange Village.
After getting off the bus, Ji Nanshu went straight to the address of the little fan newspaper.
thump thump thump--
thump thump thump--
He pounded on the door frantically.
A few minutes later, there was some rustling noise coming from inside the door. The door opened a crack, and a head peeked out—it was a middle-aged man.
"You... are looking for someone?"
His voice was hoarse, with a hint of barely perceptible stiffness.
Ji Nanshu crossed his arms, adopting a haughty and menacing demeanor, and said, "Is Tao Ai here?! Tell her to come out!!"
Under the dim streetlights, one could vaguely see that the middle-aged man's eyes had a bluish-gray tint, and he reacted slowly.
" Tao Ai isn't here, so get out of here!"
He was about to close the door when he said that.
Pei Qi wouldn't stand for it. He stopped the middle-aged man and threatened him fiercely, "Who gave you permission to talk to my brother like that?! We must have known Tao Ai was here to have found us!"
"Make her come out! She owes my brother hundreds of thousands and hasn't paid it back. Did she think we wouldn't find her in this remote corner?!"
On the way to Ange Village, Ji Nanshu assigned roles to the group.
They are a debt collection company! Their main tactic is to be unreasonable and domineering!
As she said this, Pei Qi squeezed through the Tao family's gate, knocked the middle-aged man to the ground, and the others followed her into the Tao family's house.
The middle-aged man quickly got to his feet, his face expressionless, his tone strange. "You—since you're courting death, then stay here—"
boom--
The Tao family's gate was suddenly slammed shut.
Officials from relevant departments were on high alert, their expressions tense.
Ji Nanshu stepped forward and slapped the middle-aged man across the face. "I bet you just don't want to pay back the money! What are you pretending for? Pei Qi, you two, go inside and find Tao Ai for me!"
Pei Qi and Chunlu exchanged a glance, then quickly rushed into the house and began searching room by room.
The middle-aged man was stunned by Ji Nanshu's slap. He shook his head, his gaze falling on Ji Nanshu with a sinister look. "You're asking for it!!"
Completely ignoring Pei Qi and Chunlu, he lunged at Ji Nanshu with bared teeth and claws.
Just as Shu Cheng and the others behind Ji Nanshu were about to make a move, they heard another crisp slap.
Snap--
The middle-aged man was slapped to the ground by Ji Nanshu again.
Ouch—that hurts!
Shu Cheng and the others couldn't help but cover their faces; those two slaps from Ji Nanshu looked painful.
"Are you looking for death? Do you even want to reach me first?"
I have no respect for it.
The Brain-Devouring Gu inside this middle-aged man doesn't seem very intelligent.
The middle-aged man got up again, screaming as he rushed forward.
Ji Nanshu sighed, "Why can't I learn to be smart?"
This time, he kicked the person opposite him, sending them crashing into the door behind the middle-aged man.
Clang--
The door is broken.
One step, two steps...
Ji Nanshu slowly walked up to the middle-aged man, her steps light and silent, yet they exerted immense psychological pressure on him.
He sensed a dangerous aura.
Ji Nanshu crouched down, a hint of pleasure in his eyes, but his words were chilling. "I know even if you don't say it, so please pass on a message to the person behind you..."
Tell him that the people of Ange Village belong to me.
Just then, Pei Qi and Chunlu each supported a young girl, while the other held onto a middle-aged woman.
Pei Qi shouted, " Mr. Ji! We've rescued your little fan!!"
The middle-aged man glanced at his arrested companion and seemed even angrier.
His neck twitched a few times, his pupils shrank to the size of rice grains, and he stared intently at Ji Nanshu. His mouth stretched from ear to ear, and in the silvery moonlight, one could clearly see something wriggling under the middle-aged man's skin, densely packed.
Disgusting.
"You're all dead!"
The middle-aged man opened and closed his mouth, uttering a few words haltingly. Then, still lying on the ground, he quickly retreated and climbed onto the wall, using both his hands and feet.
Ji Nanshu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to stop Shu Cheng and the others from their actions, and signaled them to retreat quickly.
Click--
Click--
The middle-aged man, clinging to the wall, turned his head 360 degrees in a series of rapid movements. With a loud crack, his head crashed to the ground and exploded!
In an instant, insects rained down, their foul-smelling, dark green slime mingling with the Brain-Devouring Gu as they swarmed through the air.
At the point where the neck was broken, countless worms were still wriggling.
"Ah--" Tao Ai, who was being supported by Chunlu, also woke up at this moment. When she saw her father's appearance, she let out a terrified scream and fainted again.
Just as his head was about to leave his neck, Ji Nanshu pulled an umbrella from his backpack and held it in front of him, thus escaping unharmed.
Shu Cheng and You Shiyan stood next to Ji Nanshu. Even though they moved quickly, they couldn't help but get some disgusting slime and worms on themselves. Fortunately, it wasn't much, and they could just burn it.
Chen Anbang, Cheng Yuan, Pei Qi, Chunlu, and Ji Xingyu, standing outside the door, silently gave themselves a thumbs up: Thank goodness for their quick thinking! Otherwise, they would have ended up in the same predicament as the captain and Senior Brother You.
Ji Nanshu folded his umbrella, his gaze turning cold and sharp. He grabbed the umbrella handle and, like throwing a flying knife, hurled it at the headless man still clinging to the wall.
The headless man dodged with a swift movement, and some Brain-Devouring Gu were shaken off.
"Hehehehe..." The Brain-Devouring Gu let out a strange laugh in unison, "Here they come..."
Ji Nanshu sneered and cursed, "Idiot!"
Then he raised his hand, mobilized the spiritual energy within his body, and made a few strokes in the air. As Ji Nanshu moved, a faint silvery-white light shimmered in the air.
Fu Cheng.
With a gentle push, it was injected into the headless man's body.
With no way to avoid it, a loud bang was heard, and the headless man, along with all the Gu worms in the room, burst into flames, emitting a series of shrill screams.
Within seconds, the Brain-Devouring Gu fell silent, their corpses crashing to the ground.
Drawing talismans with Spiritual Power?!
Shu Cheng and You Shiyan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised shock. No wonder Si Dai insisted on inviting this person over; he was actually at the Innate Realm!
Shu Cheng stepped forward to examine it and was even more shocked. This... this talisman only burned the Brain-Devouring Gu to death; there wasn't a single scratch on the human body's surface!!!
Whose monster is this?!
Ji Nanshu stood in front of Tao Ai, who was still unconscious, and said to Pei Qi, " Peiqi, remove the curse from her."
After saying that, he looked at the middle-aged woman beside him.
She should be Tao Ai's mother.
Her infection was less severe than her husband's, but much more severe than her daughter's.
It can be cured, but it will severely deplete one's vital energy, and even after the curse is cured, one will only have a maximum of ten years to live.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Tao Ai's face again and decided to remove the curse from Tao Ai's mother first. There was a big difference between dying today and dying a few years later.
Shu Cheng stepped forward. " Mr. Ji, do you need my help?"
Ji Nanshu, holding a silver needle in his hand, heard Shu Cheng's words and said, "Hold her down, don't let him move. Hmm... bring two more people, you can't hold her down by yourself."
Shu Cheng paused in his grip on the woman. How could a grown man like him be unable to restrain a woman?!
Seeing Shu Cheng's disbelieving expression, Ji Nanshu didn't offer any further advice. Pei Qi, who was able to offer any advice, was currently treating Tao Ai's poison.
Ji Nanshu smiled enigmatically, then pierced the woman's brow with a needle—quick, ruthless, and precise.
The next second--
The woman let out a sharp scream, her body began to convulse, and she struggled to escape from Shu Cheng's grasp.
During the struggle, the woman unintentionally hit Shu Cheng with a large punch, leaving him stunned on the spot.
"Hold it down." Ji Nanshu emphasized again, then bent down, pinched the woman's mouth shut, stuffed a talisman inside, and lit it.
Then, using Spiritual Power, he drew a gathering talisman and injected it into the woman's body.
A few minutes later, the woman stopped struggling and vomited a lot of filth on the ground.
Inside, there were countless wriggling worms.
Shu Cheng's face darkened, and he used a fire talisman to end the lives of those Gu worms.
I've never been this embarrassed before!!
Ji Nanshu: Blame him for not reminding me ╭(╯^╰)╮?
