Lin Xi Wen beside said: “Alright, Jian Xi, let Xiao You take you around first to have a look, if you have any thoughts, just say it directly.”
Jian Xi glanced around and said lightly: “It’s an evil ghost, there is still its residual aura here, the soul of the victim has also been devoured by it.”
Nie Xiujin squatted down and pointed at the human-shaped line on the ground with his finger, the position of the head, closed his eyes and carefully sensed it for a while, then spoke out: “Hmm, the cultivation of this evil ghost should have reached over four hundred years already.”
As it is known to all, the cultivation of evil ghosts relies on eating the blood or heart of living people raw, an evil ghost that has cultivated for over four hundred years, how many people must it have killed!
Tang Xingyou cried out in alarm, “Over four hundred years! Then even if we add up, we probably can’t beat it!” She looked at Nie Xiujin and Lin Xi Wen.
Lin Xi Wen sighed, it was the first time they encountered a case of this level, even Wang Ju who has been at the Special Security Bureau for almost half of his life probably seldom met it a few times!
At this time, Jian Xi made a correction in a flat tone, “It’s not four hundred years, it has been over five hundred years.”
Nie Xiujin frowned and looked at her, “Are you sure?” If it’s four hundred years they could still let Wang Ju try his best, but if it’s really as Jian Xi said, then it looks like they can only invite the Underworld ghosts and gods or Ye Ze!
Jian Xi nodded, indicating certainty. She pursed her lips and asked him, “Umm, I should be able to find it and lure it over, but there are still many police officers here, you need to let them leave first.”
“What? You can find it?” Lin Xi Wen’s voice rose a bit.
The criminal investigation team members who were collecting evidence nearby looked over here. He reacted and smiled at them waving his hand to indicate it was nothing and let them continue their work.
Tang Xingyou pulled Jian Xi’s clothes and said in a low voice, “Xiao Qi, how are you going to lure it over, that’s an evil ghost with over five hundred years of cultivation, even if you have a way to lure it over, we are not its opponent, we should report this matter back to the bureau first.”
Jian Xi raised the corners of her lips and patted Tang Xingyou’s hand to indicate not to worry.
She looked up at Nie Xiujin and Lin Xi Wen, “Captain, Deputy Captain, leave this matter to me, I can resolve it. Please help me get them away first.”
Jian Xi pointed at those criminal investigation people.
Nie Xiujin and Lin Xi Wen looked at each other. Lin Xi Wen still patiently persuaded Jian Xi, “Jian Xi, this matter is no small matter, let’s report to Bureau Chief Wang first, okay?” She could always subdue a hundred-year-old fierce ghost with one move, but that’s not the same concept as a five-hundred-year evil ghost!
Jian Xi was helpless, but she also knew they meant well because they still didn’t know about her own strength so they wouldn’t let her take risks easily.
She patiently explained, which was rare to see, “I’m confident, don’t worry, later I will use a defensive formation to surround this place, nothing will happen!”
Defensive formation, she was also a formation master!
The three were instantly speechless. It was already known that Jian Xi was a metaphysics master and knew metaphysical medicine. According to Bureau Chief Wang, she also knew fortune-telling. She actually knew four out of the five metaphysics skills!
Tang Xingyou asked reflexively, “Xiao Qi, can you also do ancient martial arts and stuff like that!”
Jian Xi was startled for a moment, “I know a little bit, just didn’t learn well.” There were several people in the Taoist temple that she couldn’t beat, ancient martial arts was her weakest field!
Lin Xi Wen adjusted his glasses that had slid down due to his facial expression going out of control. Although Nie Xiujin looked calm on the surface, there were also turbulent waves rising in his heart. Jian Xi had no reason to boast and lie to them, because everyone would definitely know in the days to come, there was no need for that. So this little girl was really a metaphysics genius!
For some reason, looking at Jian Xi’s determined gaze, Nie Xiujin chose to believe her. But still, he confirmed with her again, “How confident?”
Jian Xi didn't speak, but the confidence in her eyes gave him the answer!
“Xi Wen, Xiao You, you two notify the criminal investigation team to withdraw. I’ll stay here with Jian Xi,” Nie Xiujin issued the order.
Jian Xi: "......" Actually I wanted to say, I could handle such a small matter myself!
But she didn't say it out. After all, they also meant well!
......
More than ten minutes later.
Lin Xi Wen and Tang Xingyou made sure the criminal investigation team had completely withdrawn and there was no more personnel access around before returning to Jian Xi’s side.
“We are back, Xiao Qi, wait a little longer, Shi Fan and the others said just now they could arrive in another five minutes. More people means more power. Wait another five minutes, no hurry!” Tang Xingyou said as she ran over. Behind her followed Lin Xi Wen holding magic weapons.
Jian Xi glanced at the still dumbfounded Nie Xiujin, then turned her head and said to the two of them, “No need.”
Tang Xingyou didn't understand and asked puzzled, “What no need?”
“You can tell them they don't need to come, just go back to the bureau directly. It's been handled here.” She said lightly.
Lin Xi Wen opened his mouth wide, “Han... Handled?” He looked at Nie Xiujin for confirmation.
Nie Xiujin nodded stiffly.
......
On the way back, Lin Xi Wen was driving, Nie Xiujin sat in the passenger seat, while Jian Xi and Tang Xingyou sat in the back.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet to weirdness.
Nie Xiujin stared out the window without saying a word. He still hadn’t recovered from the shock just now.
His memory flashed back to half an hour ago.
After Lin Xi Wen and Tang Xingyou started taking action, Nie Xiujin took out his magic weapon, the Soul Calming Bell, and got ready to fight.
He was just about to say that he was ready and they could start.
But before he could speak, he saw a jade flute appearing out of thin air in Jian Xi’s hand. She put the jade flute to her lips and blew it.
The melody was melodious, the sound ethereal, listening to it made one feel carefree and happy. Not only did he have this feeling, all ghosts within ten li who heard it were also attracted over as if fascinated.
Jian Xi gestured him to collect all these ghosts first, because most of them should be on the register of the Underworld, just check one by one when going back!
After Nie Xiujin collected them all, Jian Xi’s tune changed from the original soothing to passionate!
In less than a minute, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Nie Xiujin’s forehead, because it seemed something was resisting Jian Xi’s melody!
He knew, it must be that evil ghost. Jian Xi was forcibly pulling it over with her melody!
Realizing this, Nie Xiujin looked sharply at Jian Xi, only to see Jian Xi looking as usual without any strenuous expression at all.
Now he knew what her gaze meant when he asked her just now how confident she was!
It looked like he had to report to Bureau Chief Wang when he went back and voluntarily give up the captain position!
