Chapter 23: The Poison of the Soul- Binding Needle

  When they saw the thick yellow liquid flowing out of Dà Yá's mouth, Qin Zhong and Han Jun were stunned. The last warning in the Ghost Doctor's Handbook was that if the patient had a situation where yellow liquid came out of their mouth after using this method to treat their illness, they should immediately stop taking the medicine, proving that the patient's main lesion was not here.

  "What?" Han Jun's eyes widened in surprise.

  Qin Zhong said in a low voice, "It's gone wrong. It seems that the cause of Da Ya's illness is not here after all. Where could it be?" He made a comprehensive judgment based on everything that had happened since he came out of cave 137, and suddenly felt that the problem should be with that needle tube. He immediately asked, "Where did the needle tube on his body go just now?"

  "Needle? Does he have a needle on his shoulder?" Han Jun's firm and astonished gaze stared at Qin Zhong.

  Qin Zhong suddenly froze: "Didn't you see the needle on his shoulder?"

  "No, from the time you went to the hospital, there was no needle on his shoulder. Are your eyes also blocked by illusions?" Han Jun seemed to understand these things.

  Qin Zhong suddenly felt that something was off, from the change in the content of the photo to the sudden loss of the needle tube. All this added to the mystery of the virus on Da Ya's body, because he had never seen any similar introduction in any book. Was it necessary for him to solve the problem on Da Ya's body himself? He fell silent, supporting his chin with one hand and muttering: "Damn, I've gone to so much trouble, but it still doesn't work."

  "Did you bring something out of the cave?" Han Jun asked, turning his head and muttering to himself in a contradictory tone: "It's impossible, even if they did bring something back, that unclean thing wouldn't be able to enter my house!"

  "What if he didn't go in and just left Da Ya's soul outside?" Qin Zhong thought.

  The Korean soldier scratched his head: "Ah, you're right, I'm really old and muddled. It seems that this ghost who followed me is not simple!"

  "It's not simple." Qin Zhong said, seeming to hold back his words. He suddenly thought of the various situations he had encountered in the cave, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that someone must have been manipulating things inside the cave, especially the part where they came out, the entrance was clearly tampered with by someone moving the iron door. Fortunately, the iron door was old and rusty, which allowed a few people to escape danger. But now, this big tooth's matter cannot be delayed, it must be solved immediately.

  "Come on, let's go out right away. That guy who followed us won't be far behind and should be at your courtyard gate."

  "Wait, if we want to see them, we'll have to wait until after midnight. At this time, it's impossible to spot them." Han Jun said.

  Qin Zhong sneered, "My ghost eyes are open, I'm afraid he's hiding somewhere?" As he said this, he grabbed a handful of powder from the small wooden box and wiped it on his two kitchen knives. He then charged out with the knives in hand.

  The Korean army immediately took their own things and turned back to inform Mona and Mark to take care of Da Ya, then rushed out of the yard.

  Qin Zhong walked out of the courtyard, and the two kitchen knives sparkled in the sunlight at dusk, making them particularly dazzling. With the various colored powders he had applied to the blades earlier, the reflected light was simply multicolored. He widened his eyes and looked around, after all, Qin Zhong's ghostly eyes could still see many things that ordinary people couldn't discover. However, after a circle of searching, he didn't find anything.

  "Qin Zhong, what did you find?" Han Jun panted and ran out.

  Qin Zhong shook his head, his eyes never stopping as he swept another glance around the area where he hadn't seen anything earlier, but still didn't see anything: "Strange, these ghosts really have some skills, I actually can't see them?"

  "Don't be in a hurry, it seems that this time the ghost is a cunning one. Since he can come to me, I, Han Jun, won't let him leave easily." Han Jun seemed to have a special hatred for ghosts, but Qin Zhong didn't know the reason and didn't ask further, only taking a step back.

  "I have a bad feeling about this, Uncle Han. Are you really that confident in your courtyard's ability to ward off ghosts?" Qin Zhong didn't know why he had suddenly begun to doubt the effectiveness of Han Jun's ghost-repelling courtyard.

  The Korean military was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Zhong's words, but they didn't show it. Instead, they smiled faintly and said: "To be honest, this courtyard of mine really doesn't have any ghosts that can enter, unless it's on a night when the yin energy is extremely strong, like the Seven Stars Aligning."

  Qin Zhong suddenly lifted his head, looked at the sky, and seemed to be in a state of despair, as if the injury on his big tooth had reached an impasse.

  The Korean army also looked up at the sky, counted on their fingers: "It's not right either. According to reason, this year's heavenly dog eating moon should wait another month later, and it's not today. Where did that ghost go?"

  "Are there really ghosts?" Qin Zhong asked loudly.

  "There must be a big tooth soul nearby, otherwise if his soul goes far away, then the big tooth is dead." Han Jun said.

  At the moment when Qin Zhong was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found that there was another red shoe outside the wooden wall of the courtyard. He stood still in amazement, rubbed his eyes, and saw a foot slowly coming out of the red shoe.

  As soon as he saw this, he raised his hand and made a knife cut. The blade of the knife was just on the ankle of that red shoe. The sparks from the knife blade flew out in all directions. When Qin Zhong looked again, he suddenly found that the foot was gone, and a medical needle appeared in the corner. He immediately picked up the needle.

  "Hmph, it's you, this time you're in my hands, let's see how you can escape." Qin Zhong said.

  The Korean military saw Qin Zhong's movement and immediately pulled out a candle, lit it with fire, and extended the flame of the candle to the needle head. The flame of the candle made a hissing sound similar to gunpowder.

  The Korean military smiled with satisfaction and said: "Xiao Zhong, this is it, that's right."

  "How did you know? Can a single candle really achieve that?" Qin Zhong was puzzled.

  Han Jun Dao said: "A normal candle won't make the hissing sound we just heard. Only something that can't withstand the flame would think of a way to put out the fire."

  "All right, no time to lose, take him in quickly."

  "What? Go in? Don't you want Big Tooth's life?"

  "How can you just take his life away? Are you afraid that this courtyard is haunted by the souls of the living?"

  "It's not necessarily so, but we'd better be careful." Han Jun was extremely cautious.

  Qin Zhong bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Take him in, Daxia will have a chance to survive. If we don't take him in, he won't even make it out alive. What do you think I should choose?"

  "That's good, you put the needle in my box, so he can't run away, and even if he wants to make trouble, it's not necessarily possible." Han Jun was very confident.

  Qin Zhong held two kitchen knives in his hands and swaggered into the courtyard with Han Jun, as soon as they entered the house, he found Meng Na and Mark seemed to be eating something.

  "What are you eating?"

  Two people did not respond, Qin Zhong saw that Miao's head was not right, Mark's eyes had lost their color, and Meng Na's face under the explosive hair turned pale: "You spit it out for me." As soon as he said this, he rushed in, with his palm full of cinnabar powder slapping the back of the two people's heads: "Wake up for me."

  "Cough! Cough!" As it turned out, two black shadows vanished from the top of Mark and Mona's heads, while beads of sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads.

  "Spit it out, spit it out! Look at what you've been eating!" Han Jun immediately pinched the cheeks of the two people, and Dreamna and Mark continuously spat out some black things from their mouths.

  Qin Zhong looked at Da Ya who was still unconscious, still the same as before, without any change. He turned around and asked Meng Na: "Who gave you things to eat?"

  "It was the big mom here, who broke off a large plate of fruit from upstairs for us to eat, and we ate it. After eating, it became like this!" Meng Na said, pointing to the table: "Look at you!" As soon as he said that, he suddenly froze: "How could it be like this?"

  The Korean military looked at the things on the tea table, and on the iron plate on the tea table, a pile of black coal balls were placed, and there seemed to be some long-haired toad corpses on the edge of the coal balls, some flying insects, and animal entrails full of maggots. Everyone present was stunned.
