Chapter 224 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 6 (2/2)
Feng Jin, “…” ‘That Emperor she was talking about never existed in history! Same for that Demon-Slayer! She’s just spouting bull again…’
“Don’t believe it?” Shi Sheng looked at Feng Jin and smiled wickedly. “I don’t believe it either. Those infants were sacrificed, how could they have the power to exorcise demons? They were wreaking vengeance! So, you can call this sword Demon-Eater.”
Feng Jin, “…”
#My ghost seems to have a mental problem. #Waiting online for help, please hurry
[……] ‘HOST’S SWORD KEEPS CHANGING NAMES. MADNESS.’
……
Feng Jin’s car stopped outside a mansion in the middle of nowhere.
The mansion was stark white, so it stood out in the dark night. Adding to the eeriness of the situation, it was surrounded by a forest, so every direction you looked towards led into the woods. With the trees rustling in the night breeze and the dark clouds hanging in the sky, the mansion looked exceptionally creepy.
Shi Sheng leaned against the window to look around. “Is there a ghost here?”
“Don’t know,” Feng Jin pushed the door open and gave Shi Sheng a look. She immediately floated out of the car through the open door on his side.
‘Why come here if you don’t even know?’
Just standing from outside, one could sense the sinister atmosphere that cloaked the entire mansion. Probably due to having felt a threat coming from something similar to herself, Shi Sheng could feel the sinister aura even clearer and her body couldn’t help but tremble a bit.
“Are we here to catch ghosts?”
Feng Jin didn’t seem like he had any compassion in him. After all, these past few days, she’d observed from up close just how dark his heart was. He could calmly look on as someone was being killed by ghosts right in front of him.
Though, she didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with this.
‘After all, they didn’t ask him to save them, nor did they give any money for him to do so.
But as an exorcist, isn’t catching ghosts their thing?’
“See how it goes.”
‘See how what goes?’
Feng Jin walked up to the mansion. Tonight, he was still wearing a long robe. With the colour of this one also being extremely dark, he almost blended into the night.
Shi Sheng looked up to the sky with melancholy in her eyes. ‘Just what’s up with him?’
At the gateway in frontthe mansion, an old man was waiting for their arrival. Half of his body was hidden in the shadows, rendering only his wrinkled face and the other half of his body visible, causing him to look quite sinister to onlookers.
“Mr. Feng?” The old man’s voice was hoarse and a bit grating on the ears. His tone carried a tinge of doubt, as if he could not believe that such a young man could possibly be an exorcist.
Feng Jin only gave him a slight nod, but no verbal response.
The old man didn’t say anything else. However, upon seeing a sword floating behind him all on its own, those muddled eyes of his lit up, and his attitude became much more respectful. “Mr Feng, please, come in.”
‘He can actually make a sword float up in the air? This young exorcist must have some ability, right? Perhaps the Sir can still be saved!’
Feng Jin probably knew what the old man was thinking, but he didn’t bother to correct him.
After all, he couldn’t very well say that it was actually a ghost holding thesword up, could he?
Having accidentally helped Feng Jin act cool, Shi Sheng was speechless. ‘These people can’t see me! Bad reviews!’
Shi Sheng flew around haphazardly with her sword, making it look like the sword had suddenly lost control.
The old man who was behind them was startled by the sword’s sudden outburst.
‘Why do I feel he suddenly became much less reliable?’
