Chapter 11: The Sudden Confrontation of the Loser and the Beauty

  Only when I took off the T-shirt did I realize how dark Xiao Luqi's hands were. This girl's face can't be looked at directly anymore. As for eating utensils, at least three fell out of her mouth.

  "I sneered: 'Is there anything else you want to say?'"

  He weakly shook his head.

  Another punch.

  He spoke with a sobbing voice, his mouth bleeding, and his words were indistinct: "I've had enough... why are you still hitting me?"

  I thought about it too, and yeah, I didn't make her stop... The thing is, I don't even know how to make her stop. I damn well don't even know how to get her started, okay?

  "How can we get her to stop?"

  Wang Yongshun glared at me and said, "You can break my Soul Controlling Headband, but do you know how to make her stop? Alright, big brother, spare my life, I'll get up first!"

  I took a look at his cowardly appearance and got up to let him go.

  He had just gotten up when Xiao Luqi threw another punch, pounding the ground with a loud thud.

  I clenched my fists tightly, and I'm sure Wang Yongshun did too. If we got up two seconds later, we would have to endure another round of punishment.

  "I say, I'm really convinced, this magic spell, hurry up and put it away, ah?" Wang Yongshun said in a pleading tone, he saw Xiao Lüqi mechanically lift her head, her face was pale as iron, staring at him with two black holes for eyes that could scare out his gallbladder.

  "I really don't know how to take it back! You're the one who summoned her, you damn well better take back your spell!"

  "I've already taken it in, I took it in several times after closing the door, if it worked, would I have suffered so much?"

  I stirred in my heart and said: "Alright, you'd better behave yourself here. If you act recklessly, we'll both beat you out of the house together, do you understand?"

  Wang Yongshun nodded desperately.

  I grasped Xiao Luqi's icy arm and walked out the door.

  She mechanically followed me step by step like this.

  Suddenly a pain in my back, she actually punched me in the back with one fist, making me grit my teeth.

  Is this indiscriminate attack? Or... being pulled by me, can't beat the enemy hard, so hitting me a punch is like throwing a tantrum? Thinking of this, I feel relieved...

  Why am I so easily satisfied with her?

  Lock her outside the house, lock the door, and she really didn't make a sound. I turned around to look at Wang Yongshun.

  "What else do you want?" Wang Yongshun looked at me with an unfriendly gaze and hastily said.

  "I'll ask you two questions, and after you answer them, agree to two conditions of mine, then you can leave."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Firstly, how did you control her? How did you release her?"

  Wang Yongshun rolled his eyes and said, "I just thought she was pretty, so I wanted to use the family heirloom to get myself an inflatable doll..."

  I felt a wave of nausea upon hearing this, and my mind was filled with countless chaotic thoughts. I hastily interrupted him: "Exactly how did you control her? How do you lift the control?"

  "It's all about controlling the spirit... After putting it on, recite the incantation and you can control it. But you need to have a spirit-controlling talisman in your hand, and the hand holding the talisman must have been soaked in corpse oil for 18 days to be effective. To release the control, recite a spell to release the spirit, then take off the belly wrap."

  "Hmm, second question, how to revive her?"

  Wang Yongshun smiled bitterly and said, "She is indeed dead. If there really was a way to revive her, would there still be any dead people in this world?"

  My heart skipped a beat, it seems that Xiao Luqi really disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only an empty shell.

  "Alright, I'll set the conditions," I said. "First, you have to recite a spell of exorcism, take off your belly band, and then I'll escort you out the door and watch you hail a cab back home."

  As long as I have money, I'm not afraid of not having beautiful women, this account can be calculated. So he nodded hastily.

  "Wait, there's a second condition. Before you take off the belly band, I want to leave video evidence. You must admit that this belly band was put on by you, with the intention of controlling her."

  Wang Yongshun's eyes widened even more after hearing this: "You're ruthless. Damn, you're really ruthless. I guess I've lost."

  "After all, you said it yourself, we're birds of a feather. I have to keep some means of self-protection. Otherwise, if you go out and report me, who will take the fall for me? Besides, I'll give you 500 yuan later as medical expenses. This matter is settled, don't mention it again, got it?"

  This deal is fair, and for Wang Yongshun, if he doesn't agree now, this matter will not end well. He can only nod in agreement too. Of course, I don't want to cause more trouble either, as long as the evidence is in my hands, I'm not afraid of him.

  "Hey, she's hitting me now! I haven't even finished reciting the Spirit-Relieving Spell and she's already interrupting me!"

  Actually I am also considering this issue, but I already have a countermeasure in mind.

  I left Wang Yongshun waiting here. I walked out the door, closed it, and without saying a word, gave Xiao Luqi a passionate French kiss. She seemed to have become conditioned reflexively, starting to take deep breaths, followed by another surge of heat passing through her body. After we finished, she closed her eyes, went limp, and I carried her into the icebox. Next, I picked up the phone and a roll of transparent tape from the nearby table, tore off a piece of tape, opened the video recording mode on the phone, held it in one hand, and with the other hand, undid Xiao Luqi's hospital gown, revealing her belly, stuck the tape to it, then placed it on the kitchen counter. I picked up the bag of milk powder, poured some onto the tape, blew hard, and the milk powder flew up, sticking to the tape.

  I quickly finished up and stuffed the tape into my pocket, shouting out towards the bedroom "Come on out!"

  Wang Yongshun walked out and saw that she had returned to the ice cabinet. He whispered to me, "It seems you're really stronger than me, and you don't want to show your true skills in front of me. Alright, I've met a superior person this time, I admit defeat." I neither acknowledged nor denied it, but first let him go to the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

  He also kept his promise, found a mirror in the bedroom, looked at Xiao Luqi's bellyband, muttered some unclear spells, and the golden characters on the bellyband flashed and dimmed. Wang Yongshun nodded and said it was okay, so I took off the bellyband from Xiao Luqi's body and handed it to Wang Yongshun.

  Wang Yongshun hastily took the bellyband, folded it up and put it in his pocket, with great respect, indeed a treasured family heirloom, relying on it for a happy sex life in the second half of his life... However, his desires were destined to be poured out on a cold corpse. Looking at this pure loser quality, I couldn't help but sigh.

  People are divided into groups. Losers can easily understand each other. Primitive needs, everyone has them, and they all need to be released. This is a huge energy. Freud said that sexual desire is the driving force behind human progress. Whether it's from the perspective of reproducing offspring or from the perspective of young people spending their parents' savings to buy a house for marriage, directly supporting GDP growth, there's some truth to this statement.

  But I am absolutely not the same kind of person as Wang Yongshun. He is purely driven by desire, whereas I... can I say that this is true love?

  I made Wang Yongshun hold up the belly band, facing the mobile phone camera to record a video, and briefly explained the situation. Then I took out the tape that had just been tampered with from my pocket and waved it in front of him, saying that I had already left evidence of his fingerprints on the belly band, and if he wanted to report me, I would have to pull him down for me.

  The milk powder stuck on the tape outlined Wang Yongshun's fingerprint pattern.

  Wang Yongshun gathered up his belly wrap and raised his head, saying: "Fortunately you didn't forcibly tear off this belly wrap, otherwise I would have been done for."

  I said if I tore it off, you wouldn't be able to find me. Didn't tear it off, left myself a trouble.

  Wang Yongshun shook his head and said, "If you force it, not only will the belly band be destroyed, but she will also lose her life and soul, thoroughly dying."

  As soon as I heard this, I sensed that there was more to it and quickly asked what was going on. Wang Yongshun told me that Xiao Luqi had a special physical constitution, although at the time of her death, both her heavenly soul and earthly soul had left her body, but her mortal soul had not dispersed. That's why she could be controlled by the belly bag so easily. If her mortal soul were also gone, to make her move would require at least placing her in an extremely yin burial ground for 49 days of refinement.

  ...If her soul hasn't dispersed, can she be saved?

  Wang Yongshun said he didn't know either, but as far as he knew, there was a spell that might work, which was the soul-calling spell. However, this had already exceeded his knowledge category as a corpse-refiner.

  He and I exchanged phone numbers, saying we're both practitioners of necromancy, no fight no acquaintance, can contact each other later. I smiled and said maybe next time I'll still have to trouble you.

  When he heard this, Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled with a sly expression. This smile made my hair stand on end.

  He probably thought that my words meant I would ask him for a corpse again in the future. Originally, in his eyes, I was mostly a super-perverted corpse-refiner who was more skilled than him and manipulated corpses to achieve ultimate pleasure stimulation. I saw his sly and cunning eyes blink, well, if I really wanted to ask him for a corpse again, I would definitely have to pay a fee, and the price would probably not be cheap.

  After sending Wang Yongshun downstairs, I took out 500 yuan from my wallet and gave it to him. It's actually very painful, this is half a month's worth of food money for me. But looking at his current state, being able to give him some money to get rid of him is also okay.

  Watching him get on the car and walk away, I turned around and went to a nearby pet store to buy some Whiskas cat food, canned tuna, and cat litter. Of course, although cats love to eat this kind of canned food, it's best not to give them too much because it contains attractants that can cause kidney stones if eaten excessively. However, for a little cat who is still very scared in a new environment, letting it eat quickly is undoubtedly the best way to break the ice with it.

  Back home, I first fed the little black cat. Found a shoe box, cut off the lid, poured in some cat litter and placed it in the bathroom. Then walked over to look at Xiao Luqi in the ice cabinet, thinking about what Wang Yongshun had just said.

  Perhaps there is a way to revive her soul and bring her back to life?
