Chapter 176 The Out-of-Control "Container"
For the students' safety, Yun Jin told her to go to the art academy first, and they would arrive shortly.
Afterwards, Li Qian made a phone call to Nangong Jin, who then arranged for Leng Feng to take her to the Academy of Fine Arts.
Nangong Jin also wanted to go with her, but this afternoon, a patient had just undergone heart surgery, and he was the chief surgeon, so he had to be on duty tonight.
Previously, whenever Nangong Jin had something to do, he would ask Yun Zhen to cover for him. A few days ago, he went to a meeting in another city, and it is unknown when he will be able to return to K City.
Half an hour later, Leng Feng drove the car to the parking lot next to the Academy of Fine Arts.
After Li Qian got out of the car, she said to Leng Feng, "Soldier, it's very dangerous in the dormitory right now. You can stay here and wait for me."
Leng Feng was worried about her safety, so he wanted to go into the school with Li Qian.
“Girl, I’m carrying a protective amulet. I’m worried about you going in alone. What if you encounter danger? How am I supposed to explain it to the boss?”
"If I stay with you, I can protect your safety. If I stay outside waiting, I won't know your situation and will be even more worried about you."
Li Qian nodded, "Okay, let's go in together. Once we're in room 404, you can hide behind me and I'll protect you."
This little girl still wants to protect him. Although he doesn't need Li Qian's protection, her caring words make him feel very warm.
Leng Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he replied, "Okay."
They walked along a cobblestone path, and after five minutes, they arrived at the northwest direction of the art academy, where a four-story girls' dormitory building stood.
Since she had been here once before, Li Qian went up the stairs.
After climbing four flights of stairs, they arrived at the door of room 404. Li Qian took out a silver hairpin from her sleeve, fiddled with the lock a few times, and with a creak, the door slowly opened.
She glanced into the room and saw that the two girls had fainted from fright at the female ghost. As for the other two girls, they were huddled in the corner, hugging their knees, their bodies still trembling.
Li Qian walked to the bedside, and after she pinched the philtrum of the two girls who had fainted, they slowly woke up.
"The four of you, go to the dormitory next door and wait for a while. After I finish the ritual, your dormitory will be safe."
Li Qian was wearing a black and white Taoist robe. She held a peach wood sword in her right hand and a yellow talisman in her left. Her righteous and awe-inspiring appearance made them feel very safe.
After the four girls left dormitory 404, Li Qian walked to the window and turned Lin Ruowan around. Her body was unusually cold, like a 'corpse' that had just been pulled out of a morgue.
She was wearing a floral dress, which was wet, as if she had just crawled out of the water.
A wisp of black mist was emanating from above Lin Ruowan's head, a death omen resulting from the invasion of her body by a female ghost.
Her reactions were somewhat sluggish, her expression blank, and her movements slow, like a lifeless puppet.
Li Qian took out a compass, and the needle was spinning rapidly, indicating that the female ghost was still on Lin Ruowan's body.
Even if the female ghost concealed all her presence, Li Qian could still sense the presence of the yin energy.
If Lin Ruowan's body is corrupted by the female ghost for a long time, her body will gradually weaken, and eventually she may even become the female ghost's scapegoat.
Li Qian made a hand seal and recited a soul-summoning incantation.
"Heaven and earth, yin and yang, all living things, I, by the decree of the Maoshan Patriarch, respectfully invite the Three Mao True Lords to descend, with talismans as proof and incense as guide, to summon the soul here, to quickly reveal its form, so be it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the female ghost slowly floated up from Lin Ruowan's body. She stood in mid-air, wearing a red dress, with her hair loose, and looked at Li Qian with resentment in her eyes.
He shouted at her sternly, "Since you love meddling in other people's business so much, then you should die in Lin Ruowan's place!"
The female ghost stretched out her long black fingernails and reached for Li Qian's neck.
Just as her fingertips were about to touch Li Qian, the other party appeared as if by magic, holding up a red jade umbrella with golden runes engraved on its surface. At that moment, those runes transformed into rings of golden light.
The golden light scorched the female ghost's long black fingernails. She let out a shrill scream and took out a red ribbon from her bosom.
She tossed the red ribbon forward, intending to wrap it around Li Qian's neck.
Since she can't get close to Li Qian, she'll use this ghost-binding ribbon to strangle her.
Li Qian recited the invisibility spell once, "Water is the essence of concealment, and mist is the form of veil. Whatever I conceal will vanish."
In the blink of an eye, Li Qian disappeared from the female ghost's sight.
The female ghost searched everywhere for Li Qian's figure, but she could not sense her presence. Just as the female ghost was distracted, Li Qian also flashed behind the female ghost and stuck a talisman on her back.
Li Qian chanted an incantation, "Immobilization talisman, Heavenly Gang suppression, all evils are immovable, like mud and stone, I am here by the decree of Venus!"
After the female ghost was immobilized, she lost the ability to move. However, the immobilization spell was only effective for half an hour.
Li Qian took the red ribbon from the female ghost's hand and sat on the edge of the bed to examine it carefully.
This red ribbon is about two meters long.
The red silk has a warm luster and a smooth texture, with golden runes on it. It is a magical artifact, and its function is probably similar to that of the ghost-binding rope.
Li Qian threw the red ribbon into her spatial storage. Now, she could only wait for Yun Jin and the others to arrive before imprisoning the female ghost.
The woman in red is filled with yin energy and resentment; after tonight, she will become a vengeful ghost.
Although Li Qian could handle a female ghost of this level on her own, Leng Feng didn't know any magic, and she was afraid that the female ghost would take advantage of her and use him as a hostage.
Seeing her sitting on the edge of the bed, ignoring the female ghost, Leng Feng asked out of curiosity, "Girl, the female ghost has lost her ability to move. If you don't lock her up, I'm afraid things might change if you delay."
“Soldier, this female ghost is about to become a vengeful spirit. If I detain her now, I’m afraid she might attack you when I’m not paying attention and use you to threaten me. To be on the safe side, it’s better to wait for my senior brothers to arrive before we make a move.”
