The cup hit the thing coming out of the bedroom, momentarily blocking its momentum, but that brief moment was enough. Luo Yingbai had already pushed Xu Zhe aside and swung out a red thread:
“Supreme decree, command the thunder, slay ghosts when encountered, clarify grievances. Go!”
Looking at the already shriveled and blackened male corpse sealed by talismans, although temporarily motionless, it was trembling slightly on the ground, as if it might get up at any moment. Xu Zhe was scared to death, hissing: “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! I-I-I thought you were a fraud, and I was originally going to expose you… This house is the one I rented! I know nothing!
Luo Yingbai had no time to argue about who was the real fraud: “Who is the landlord?”
Xu Zhe: “The resident of Unit 405 in this building!”
Luo Yingbai turned and walked away without another word. Xu Zhe was terrified: “Don’t leave me with the corpse, wait! Help me——”
Luo Yingbai completely ignored him, running downstairs while preparing to call Xia Xianning. Just then, the phone was already dialing in, and when Luo Yingbai answered, they simultaneously said: “Building 14, Unit 7, Room 405!”
Xia Xianning’s breathing was somewhat rapid, but his voice remained steady: “There are 30 seconds left before the Weibo fire time, I’m almost there, you…”
Luo Yingbai said: “Great, I’ve already arrived. Xianning, keep it up, don’t lose to senior brother.”
He had previously been severely injured, and his current physical condition wasn’t very good. Running back and forth had left him somewhat breathless. Seeing he was just one flight of stairs away, he simply slid down the railing and landed silently.
In the hallway, he sensitively smelled something burning. The fire should have just started, and most households were preparing to rest, with doors and windows tightly closed, showing no reaction.
Luo Yingbai drew his fingers across his brow bone, suddenly seeing a door shrouded in murderous aura, with blood spreading.
He rushed to the door, pounding on it several times, shouting: “Is anyone there?”
After knocking, he immediately pasted a talisman on the door, saying almost inaudibly: “Turn spirits, enlighten ears and eyes, talisman rise.”
All the sounds inside suddenly amplified in Luo Yingbai’s ears. A man’s rough voice said: “What are you doing at this late hour, trying to get yourself killed!”
