Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 736 - 158 An Unexpected Surprise

"What time is it now?"

"I don’t know, 3 o’clock? 3:30?"

Wang Yunxiao sat down on his butt by the wall and shoved a handful of snow into his mouth.

The dreamscape circuit hovering over Nantong District finally collapsed and disintegrated.

There was no skill to speak of, it was all about the yield.

A huge fireball exploded, shattering the core into pieces.

The intersection of dream and reality was forcibly torn apart, and the weirdness not of this world quietly receded like the tide.

What was revealed was a sight full of wounds and destruction.

Lianluo didn’t come back; considering the yield of that explosion, she must have detonated her entire body.

Is there... still a chance to save her?

Wang Yunxiao didn’t understand the secrets of the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate, so he dared not make a rash statement.

But from his impression of that girl, she really didn’t seem like someone who would choose to sacrifice her life for justice.

What kind of hero dresses up like a Panda?

There must be a way to save oneself... certainly, there must be. Perhaps in a little while, we will see her wearing an iron mask and a green cape, making a comeback as the noble deity Doom.

What now urgently needed addressing were real-world problems.

The good news was that the casualty figures among the locals weren’t as severe as imagined.

The vast majority of the populace stayed prudently inside their homes and weren’t beguiled by those strange rumors to cause trouble on the streets.

The notorious bandit Liu Er made a considerable contribution to this.

The government’s credibility was built up bit by bit by the President over the years in Tianmen. Apart from a few individuals who only had heads on their shoulders to stand tall, most people fully believed the message Wang Yunxiao released through official channels.

The Red Lantern Society also made significant contributions.

Rakshasas lighting up lanterns, cleaning the streets of demons.

This custom maintained in Tianmen streets for decades had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But the Red Lantern Society also paid a heavy price for this.

As Wang Yunxiao led his team into the Dreamland, only the Red Lantern Society was left to maintain order on the street.

By the time they fought through the dreamscape circuit and returned to reality, almost every member of the Red Lantern Society was injured.

It’s said that Yang Youxuan was struck by eight knives and one arm was nearly bitten off, yet she remained persistent in the front-line battle.

The girl’s own strength could only be said to be average, but her organizational and promotional skills were extremely strong. In such challenging circumstances, she was able to mobilize a volunteer militia from house to house, wielding household cleavers and shovels, following the elite core of the Red Lantern Society, sweeping the streets and leaving a trail of corpses.

If anyone still dares to criticize her for being one of the Yang Family at this time, Wang Yunxiao himself would slap them.

In contrast, the classmates Yang Tianyu brought from school didn’t achieve much. They never anticipated they would be thrown into such a massive situation from the beginning. Plus, without the comprehensive equipment that Wang Yunxiao had, they were confused and lost, completely clueless throughout the ordeal.

Even though there were no casualties, they didn’t even understand who they were fighting against.

However, it’s understandable, newcomers all start like this.

Wang Yunxiao was also very tired and really couldn’t bother to explain all the convolutions behind this.

The crisis in Nantong District was temporarily relieved, and as for other places, Wang Yunxiao truly didn’t have the energy to care about.

Dumpling had already started a fire and began to cook, while his brothers had been in combat all night and were now exhausted, unable to walk any further, and could only rest on the spot.

Fortunately, Dumpling had foreseen such a situation and had packed plenty of food. Adding two pounds of dried noodles with canned meat into the pot, an enticing aroma quickly wafted through the air.

Of course, this amount wasn’t enough for a feast, but as the pot was only so big, having a sip of hot noodle soup was good enough.

While boiling water, Zhou Qing tiptoed over, squatted beside Wang Yunxiao, hugged her legs, and started to space out.

"Is there something wrong?"

"..."

Zhou Qing was introverted and not good with words, and after death, she became even more sparing with them.

Her usual pastime was to hang out in the women’s restroom pretending to be a sunny doll, scaring the living Zhou Qing, or toying with her broken rope.

Without Wang Yunxiao calling her, she would hardly ever appear on her own initiative.

"Tired?"

"..."

Zhou Qing shook her head.

Guozi sat beside her, snapping off an icicle from under the eaves, cracking it in her mouth twice, and then spitting it on the ground with a grimace saying, "Big brother, you just played the hero saving the beauty, how could you forget so soon?"

Something like that happened?

Wang Yunxiao thought carefully for a moment, and indeed... it seemed to be the case; at the time, he subconsciously held Zhou Qing in his arms, not wanting her to be influenced by the Dreamland.

Turning his head again to look at Zhou Qing, he saw that she was also staring at him eagerly.

"She wants to get close to you."

Guozi continued to translate.

"Shut up!"

Seeing the brothers around them all surreptitiously pricking up their ears, Wang Yunxiao immediately felt a headache coming on.

Don’t you guys know she’s a ghost?

So you like to watch the excitement without worrying about the trouble, huh!

Matuan covered his chest, coughing while whispering weakly, "Big brother’s yang energy is strong..."

Why didn’t the bullet fly into your mouth?

Wang Yunxiao glared at him harshly before turning to look back at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was still staring at him intently.

"There are no outsiders here. Whatever you want to do, just say it!"

"Hold me."

Wang Yunxiao sucked on his teeth, opened his legs, and let Zhou Qing sit in his embrace.

Zhou Qing curled up into a ball, pressing the helmet tightly against her face, hiding in Wang Yunxiao’s arms, and then she fell completely silent.

She had indeed exhausted a lot this evening; one could say that all the control techniques along the way were executed by her. Without her ropes to stop them, if those evil spirits and demons had surged close, casualties in the team would have been inevitable.

Little Gourd took a few deep breaths beside them, turned his head and muttered softly, "I won’t stoop to the level of a dead person."

Chen Yan was also greatly exhausted, and at that moment, she had already hidden in Youtiao’s arms, wrapped in a blanket and fast asleep.

Youtiao didn’t dare make a single move, stiff as a statue.

"Is it almost dawn?"

"It’s still early..."

"Dumpling, when are you going to finish cooking that broken pot?"

The brothers chatted with each other, gradually relaxing their spirits.

It was snowing outside, a female ghost hiding in his arms, it was a bone-chilling cold both inside and out, and Wang Yunxiao did not feel sleepy at all.

After meditating with closed eyes for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside.

On the silent street, an abrupt set of footsteps appeared.

Even though it was still far away, it was enough to alert Wang Yunxiao.

He coughed softly, and the brothers beside him instantly perked up, gripping the cold firearms in their hands.

Just then, a long sigh came from the darkness in the distance.

"Zi bu yu, strange forces and chaos spirits—"

An invisible surge of qi swept over, raising drifts of flying snow.

Wang Yunxiao instinctively raised his hand to block it, only to feel Zhou Qing, whom he had held in his arms, stiffen up, her frail body instantly vanishing like smoke, leaving behind only her armor falling to the ground.

In that instant, the unguarded Chen Yan, Little Gourd, Liu Pangxie... all cultivators who were not of the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate were subjected to an indiscriminate attack!
