Mr. Evil Ghost.

Bai Yefeng's eyes changed slightly, his smile still flawless but less angry and more deadly, "Who are you talking about, Jiang?"

Jiang Luo's foot slowly pushed, his Martin boots crushing over the evil spirit's shoulder, leaving a trail of dirt behind. The malice in Jiang Luo's smile was straight in the face of the evil ghost as he looked down at Bai Yefeng, curving the corners of his mouth, "Bai, there are only two people here, you and I - who do you think I'm talking about?"

At the end of his sentence, he bent up close to Bai Yefeng's ear, the dagger in his hand sliding down from Bai Yefeng's brow to Bai Yefeng's heart, and said slowly, "Have you been pretending to be human for so long that you've forgotten whether you're a human or a ghost, Chi You?"

Chi You paused, and slowly smiled.

It was as if he had shed his disguised human skin to reveal his dark and ghastly nature. A slightly neurotic element of pleasure leapt from the corners of his mouth, the same face that now sent shivers down one's spine.

The smile on his lips widened as he took off his wet glasses and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Jiang Luo laughed silently.

On the seventh day of Chi You's death, he had tormented Chi You to death with a special charm for dealing with evil spirits.

As well as being slightly relieved, Jiang Luo had a better understanding of Chi You's talent.

Chi You grew at a frightening rate. At first, Jiang Luo was able to do some damage to Chi You with just one talisman, but as time passed, Jiang Luo had to use two or three talismans to achieve the effect of the first one.

Death seemed to have really freed Chi You from some kind of bondage.

Jiang Luo spent the next month studying hard and fast, not least because he was spurred on by Chi You's extraordinary growth rate.

Jiang Luo's Fu Lu is very strong, and top quality charms have always been a rarity in the market. The only person who could turn his Fu Lu to dust without any reaction from himself was Chi You.

Jiang Luo did not tell how he had recognised him, but laughed in a low provocative voice, "Let me guess, what you are trying to do."

"You've been manipulating Bai Yefeng since five years ago, haven't you?" Jiang Luo's voice was even lower, as if he was telling a big secret, "Chi You is you, so is the infamous Bai Yefeng, how many other infamous geniuses have you manipulated while you were still alive? What do you want to do? To become a tyrant who secretly controls the metaphysical world, a great demon king who makes everyone afraid to resist?"

Jiang Luo smiled, "You've got big plans, Chi You."

Chi You smiled implicitly.

Jiang Luo rose slightly and looked at each other through Bai Yefeng's skin, the wet stain of the evil ghost almost staining the tip of his upturned nose, and he said softly, "It's a pity I can't kill you in the flesh."

"But it's enough to make me happy for a long time to have your puppet that you've been running for five years destroyed."

Jiang Luo sat up, looked down at Chi You and whistled a short whistle without hesitation.

The doors of the swimming pool were kicked open and almost all the participants came in from outside. They were led by Lu Youyi, the three men Jiang Luo had sent to contact the participants.

The drones followed the participants' trail and hovered outside the door by the window, and the entire pool was surrounded by several pairs of eyes in a matter of moments.

The bewildered contestants were taken aback by the look of Jiang Luo and his two men.

"What are they ...... doing?"

"Why are they still holding knives in their hands?"

"Is this to kill someone? Crap!"

Jiang Luo turned his back on the countless people and countless drones and gave a smirk to the evil spirits, the dagger in his hand exerted a slight force and the Fu Lu nailed to the tip of the dagger burst into flames in full view of everyone.

"Look everyone, the ghost hunting charm is burning," Jiang Luo raised his voice, "Bai Yefeng is possessed by the evil spirit!"

The drone transmitted the scene clearly into the live feed.

The total number of young people in the twelve high schools in the country was only a hundred, but the number of people in the country who knew about the existence of the occult community and the disciples of the six great schools was still quite large, and the vast majority of them knew about Bai Yefeng. At this moment, the pop-up screen was suddenly triggered by this scene.

[Crouch, crouch, crouch?

I'm blind, why did the ghost hunting talisman ignite on Bai Yefeng's body?

Bai Yefeng was possessed by an evil spirit? When did that happen? A talented person like Bai Yefeng can be possessed by a ghost? I'm so confused.

[I'm confused, Bai Yefeng is a ghost! When did he become a ghost?

Jiang Luo continued, "In the past three days, I found something wrong with Bai Yefeng, so I tried many times and found that Bai Yefeng's body was hiding an evil ghost."

"This evil spirit disguised himself as Bai Yefeng, he pretended to be so much that he didn't even arouse anyone's suspicion," Jiang Luo locked eyes with the evil spirit and hooked his lips, "This gave me the chills ...... how long the evil spirit had been possessing Bai Yefeng for how long? Is it these three days, or is it a month, is it a year, two years ...... or, perhaps, five years ago?"

Jiang Luo's modest voice was like a deep-water torpedo, instantly causing an uproar among the student body.

"How is this possible ......"

But even the one-in-a-thousand chance was enough to make people tremble with fear.

Xu Yan suddenly remembered what Jiang Luo had asked him earlier, what was the Bai Yefeng of old like?

His mind was blank at that moment, and he could not recall what Bai Yefeng used to look like.

The ordinary, ordinary Bai Yefeng, who had gradually come into his own five years earlier, had completely replaced the unknown Bai Yefeng in his memory.

...... But was that gentle, kind Bai Yefeng really the old Bai Yefeng?

He shuddered violently.

Jiang Luo pressed the evil ghost in the water, "Who are you, why are you possessing Bai Yefeng and how long have you been possessing him."

One question after another, the harsh voice containing a sense of oppression.

The evil ghost's face sank for the first time.

An eerie ghostly aura lurks over this face, a black mist poking out from him like ghostly claws, and even through the screen, a trembling chill runs through one's body.

Anyone who has had an important part of their plan spoiled by someone else would be furious.

This puppet, in particular, is an important pawn that Chi You has been burying for five years.

Chi You had no idea that Jiang Luo would discover his identity as a puppet and be so quick to reveal the secret to the public.

This move directly destroyed the value of "Bai Yefeng" as a puppet and ruined the entire course of his plan.

Sen Sen's black mist tumbled with rage.

Jiang Luo's eyes turned abruptly red as he looked viciously at the evil spirit, his voice dry and hoarse, "What is the purpose of your possession of Bai Yefeng? Chi You ...... Chi You's death, did you have anything to do with it."

He gritted his teeth and said, " Bai Yefeng is a genius, Chi You is also a genius, Bai Yefeng was possessed by you, Chi You suddenly died ...... Chi You was not also killed by this?!"

Wen Renlian's group was triggered to think.

Yes, did Chi You's death have anything to do with Bai Yefeng being possessed this time?

There were so many similarities between Chi You and Bai Yefeng that it was impossible not to draw a connection between them.

Jiang Luo's dagger is about to sink into the evil spirit's skin.

Chi You recoiled in anger as he braced his hands against the wall of the pool and jerked his arms up. The dagger in front of his chest was swallowed voluntarily, and large swathes of scarlet blood slid down the dagger into Jiang Luo's hand, dripping into the pool.

The crimson turned from thick to light, staining the pool with blood.

"You're good," Chi You laughed insanely, moving forward even harder as he leaned in close to Jiang Luo's ear, whispering ambiguously and lingeringly as if he were a dying lover, "Jiang Luo, I can't even bear to kill you."

Contrary to his words, a strong killing intent suddenly rises in his eyes.

The evil spirit realised just how tricky Jiang Luo was.

The dagger pierced through flesh and blood, and Jiang Luo pushed it deeper without changing his expression, avoiding the drone's lens and smiling slightly, "I'd love to kill you."

He pulled out a number of Fu Lu and hit Bai Yefeng with a single blow, even Chi You's puppet could not move for a moment under the many Fu Lu attacks.

Chi You watched as the rippling water distorted Jiang Luo's figure, but the smile that flickered across Jiang Luo's lips was still beautiful and piercing.

Jiang Luo does all the bad guys and all the good guys, and if it weren't for this moment, for this situation, Chi You would almost admire it with admiration.

A few moments later, the evil golem, able to move, resurfaced. Behind him, his companions rushed up and pulled Jiang Luo away from him, standing in front of him and looking warily at the evil spirits in the water.

Ye Xun bit his finger and woke Xiao Fen up, saying with a gloomy expression, "Xiao Fen, go."

The hulking doll stood up, walked to the edge of the pool and jumped in, floating on the water and swimming towards Chi You.

Chi You's serpentine gaze was precisely directed at Jiang Luo from the layers of the crowd, and he raised his hand without expression, and the doll was instantly torn in half by the black mist.

Ye Xun's eyes widened and he froze, " Xiao Fen ......"

The evil spirit had a hole in his chest, but he seemed to feel nothing as he came up out of the water, blood snaking out and flowing horribly, and just as he was about to do something about it, the evil spirit suddenly looked up at the door.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled quizzically towards Jiang Luo. A black mist drifted out of Bai Yefeng's body, and Bai Yefeng instantly fainted to the ground, only to be helped by someone from Shanhai University in time.

"Quick! Call an ambulance!"

Jiang Luo turned to see several teachers standing outside the door, and in the middle of them was Feng Li, the Heavenly Master.

Feng Li looked quietly into the middle of the crowd, seemingly seeing something and seemingly not seeing anything, his expression light, even if there was such trepidation among the students, it did not affect his emotions in the slightest.

Zhuo Zhengyu gathered up his shock and went forward to organise order.

Feng Li turned his head and said to the disciples around him, "It's time for them to submit their answers."

Zhuo Zhengyu wrote a timely talisman to stop the bleeding and burned it on Bai Yefeng's chest. After taking Bai Yefeng to the ambulance, he patted Jiang Luo's shoulder soothingly, admiration in his gesture, "It's not your fault, if Bai Yefeng was really possessed by an evil spirit long ago and the evil spirit was still hiding around us around ...... you've done a great service instead."

His expression gradually gripped, "If there is one possessed person, there may be a second possessed person ...... In today's occult world, there is no telling how many loopholes will be exploited."

If even a talent as gifted as Bai Yefeng can be trapped, can others escape possession by evil spirits?

How many other people like Bai Yefeng are there in the world?

Who can be sure whether they are evil spirits or human beings among the people they spend time with every day?

Zhuo Zhengyu's heart was heavy as he collected these emotions and said to Jiang Luo's group, "Go ahead and submit your answers."
