Chapter 18: Luring the Enemy in Deep
"When your realm is high enough, you will naturally understand." Hu Xian said lightly, "If the realm is not reached, it's meaningless to say anything."
"That's also true."
Finally, I took a deep breath of cold air and then let it out heavily: "It's just like that. Whether or not I'm a Manchu person, what fox spirit, what level of magic, now none of these things are useful to me. Fox spirit, thank you very much for giving me such a useful spell and telling me so much. But now, I have some unfinished business to attend to first."
"What do you want to do?" The fox spirit looked at me in surprise.
I smiled and looked at Hu Xian and said:
"Didn't you say that with my level of Soul Hook Technique, I can control at most three living people? So apart from canceling the technique voluntarily, is there another way? That is to kill the person who was affected by the technique. As long as the person affected by the technique dies, the Soul Hook Technique on them will naturally be canceled, right?"
As I spoke, I took out the mobile phone borrowed from Zhou Qin and pressed the following typing keys against the screen:
"I'm Qiang Ge, I found something incredible at the bottom of the well. Zhou Qin, Old Liu, come quickly, don't tell anyone."
As I was saying, I found a person named Lao Liu in my recent contacts list and sent it directly to him.
The fox spirit looked at me with some shock, her voice trembling: "You... want to lure all those who have been hooked by the soul-snatching technique here?"
I looked at Hu Xian and nodded, saying:
"You're absolutely right."
The fox spirit stared at me in shock and exclaimed:
"But do you have a way to kill them? Wang Yisheng, even if you undo the Soul Hook Technique on them, you're still no match for them."
I let out a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and put my phone back into my pocket, looking at Hu Xian with a smile:
"I've already thought of a way. And wasn't it you who told me, Fox Spirit?"
"I told you? When?" Hearing my words, Hu Xian slightly furrowed her brow, looking at me with a bewildered expression.
"If you can't guess, then just wait and see." I said with a smile to the Fox Spirit, "This time, I won't let it slip away again."
"You're just pretending to be mysterious and profound." The fox spirit said indifferently, looking at me.
"Even if I were to re-put it on, it wouldn't be as good as this genuine and authentic fox spirit of yours." I replied casually.
"He's always been a selfish and arrogant little brat who likes to take advantage of others." The fox spirit said indifferently, seemingly making a comment to herself, then turned her face away, neither looking at me nor saying anything else.
Listening to Hu Xian's words, I moved in my heart. Actually, apart from having a few more tails and some longer magic, this woman was really not much different from normal women.
My plan is actually very simple, but the most important step is to first lure Old Liu and Zhou Qin down to the bottom of this well. This is the most crucial step.
During this time waiting at the bottom of the well, I wasn't idle either. First, I dragged the corpses of the rough-browed man and Old Zhuang who had died at the bottom of the well to a corner of the cave. The cave was so dark that even if Old Liu and Zhou Qin came in later, they wouldn't be able to see anything.
After that, I have been quietly waiting at the bottom of the well. According to my calculation, it takes more than half an hour from the outskirts where the old well is located to the hospital. Although I couldn't guarantee that Old Liu and others were near the hospital, they should not be far away either.
Sure, here is the translation:
"Sure enough, less than half an hour later, I heard the sound of a car stopping above the well, followed by the sounds of people talking and footsteps, and then...I heard shouting:"
"Qiang Ge, are you downstairs?"
It's indeed Liu Lao and Zhou Qin's voices.
I broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, these two men were indeed deceived.
Lao Liu, I
"Come down quickly, both of you!" I shouted in a feigned urgent and weak voice towards the direction of the well. Old Liu and Zhou Qin had fallen for my soul hook technique, if my calculations were correct, now they would take me as the thick-eyebrowed man as long as they heard my voice or saw my face.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after I shouted out a not-so-clear cry for help, it wasn't long before I heard the sound of someone falling into the water outside the passageway. It seemed like someone had jumped down the well. Then, with the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, I knew that Old Liu and Zhou Qin had arrived.
As expected, with the bright light of two mobile phones, two tall and majestic figures walked in from outside the corridor.
"Qiang Ge, are you there?" The flashlight shone on my face, I squinted and looked at the two people in front of me.
"Yes, I'm here." I tried to speak in a calm tone, "You two, come and take a look, I've found something incredible."
"What's wrong?" The two of them walked towards me with a mixture of puzzlement and vigilance in their voices. However, judging from their expressions, they had yet to shake off my Soul Hook Technique.
I gave a faint smile, casting the flashlight's beam onto the fox spirit behind me. The fox spirit's slender and delicate female figure was rendered crystal clear in the interplay of light and shadow.
"Women?" Old Liu and Zhou Qin were both shocked when they suddenly saw the woman behind me, "Qiang Ge, what is this place? Who is this woman?"
"Shh, be quiet." I said with my finger pressed against my lips. "I've asked around, this woman is a tomb raider, she's been trapped by the mechanisms here, and she says that the treasure of Yuanmingyuan is hidden in this chamber. Come closer, I'll tell you the answer."
"Grave robbers? Where did these grave robbers come from?"
When they heard my mysterious words, Old Liu and Zhou Qin hesitantly walked towards me, but the two of them still couldn't help but glance at the Fox Spirit hanging on the side with a mixture of fear and unease.
I retreated step by step, drawing Old Liu and Zhou Qin to the vicinity of the six fan-shaped tails that unfolded behind Hu Xian.
"Come over and take a look, there seem to be a few talismans here."
"What...what is all this? It looks like tails? Brother Qiang, what's going on?" Under the light of the flashlight, Old Liu and Zhou Qin discovered those six tails, and also saw the steel nails at the end of the tails and the Taoist symbols on the nails.
"Don't look at that tail, take a look at what's written on these talismans. That woman said it's a cryptogram, and if we decipher the cryptogram, we can find the treasure in another hidden chamber." I said somewhat impatiently.
"Is this for real? Is this a treasure trove? Are we filming a Hollywood movie?" Old Liu and Zhou Qin looked at me with half-belief and half-doubt, then took out their flashlights and slowly approached the talisman under the fox spirit's tail.
Of course, in order to see the words on the talisman clearly, both of their heads were grasped with their hands holding the talisman, as if they wanted to tear it off and take a closer look. And I've been waiting for this moment.
Just as Zhou Qin and Old Liu touched the talisman paper, it was as if they had been electrocuted. The two people's bodies suddenly stiffened, then they convulsed violently like a sudden epileptic seizure. They clutched their necks in agony, then suddenly knelt on the ground, pale-faced, lips trembling, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.
Seeing the two men's painful symptoms, I knew they were doomed for sure, and I also slowly let out a sigh.
As expected, the Fox Fairy didn't deceive me; whoever touches this talisman will die.
After much effort and going around in circles, a ridiculous rumor was fabricated, which can be said to have defeated these two men.
Zhou Qin and Old Liu were writhing in agony on the ground, their mouths constantly foaming with white froth, even their eyeballs rolled back and turned white, as if they had seen something terrifying.
