The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 275 - : Summoning Spirits at Midnight!
Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Summoning Spirits at Midnight!
“Bullshit, purely bullshit!” Yang Kai was riled up. “Where in the world are there such things as the three souls and seven spirits, let alone ghosts? Speak of anything else, and I may not be able to refute you! But with your talk of elusive and abstract spirits and ghosts, this whole set of deceiving tricks, I have to tear you down!”
In the bedroom, other students ventured skeptical and mocking looks at Huang Xiaolong.
That’s right, the vast majority of ordinary people hardly believe in the existence of spirits and ghosts.
“Listen here, I’m not afraid to tell the truth, I’ve freaking affirmed ages ago that there are no ghosts in this world!” Yang Kai sneered. “I’ve freaking conducted an experiment!”
“Ah? An experiment?” Huang Xiaolong was surprised.
“Pfft Stunned, aren’t you?” Yang Kai finally found an opportunity to directly confront Huang Xiaolong. “Yes, I’ve conducted two experiments. The first one was with some buddies at a deserted crossroads at midnight, we prepared three dishes and a soup, along with a few empty bowls and pairs of chopsticks. You see, the crossroads are believed to be where many wandering souls roam, so by preparing the food and knocking on the bowl, you’re supposed to summon these souls to eat ‘corpse food’. As long as you keep knocking, ghosts can’t see people. On the contrary, once you stop knocking, the wandering souls who came to eat would reveal their ghost form… That night, I knocked for a while, stopped for a while, and freaking saw no ghosts at all! This fact proves that there are no ghosts in this world!”
Huang Xiaolong was a little dumbfounded, staring at the hungry ghost inside Yang Kai’s belly, and said woodenly, “My God… You… you’re really a player, aren’t you? You… you played this ‘feast with a ghost’ game few days ago, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, it was just a few days ago I played it with some buddies.” Yang Kai said triumphantly. “What about it? Scared, huh? I’ve got the evidence! Do you feel ashamed of being exposed?”

He overdid it!
Yang Kai definitely overdid it!
No wonder, damn it, a ghost of starvation possessed him.
Turns out, this dude actually played the ‘feast with a ghost’ game!
I guess, just then, by some blunder he summoned a starving ghost…
Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s silence, Yang Kai thought he’d struck him speechless and continued his endless tirade. “The second experiment was about a year ago when I was still in the US. We played ‘Hide and Seek Ghost Edition’. How to play? All you need is a pure black cat, not a single hair of any other color on its body. Some of us would hide in the forest with the cat while others would come looking. It’s believed that during the game, ghosts will join… But well, we played the entire night and saw no ghosts. It again proved that there are no ghosts in this world!”
Some of the students in the bedroom felt slightly uneasy hearing Yang Kai’s words, but others were filled with curiosity, asking Yang Kai to carry out the experiment with them again.
“Little Long, is what you’re saying really true?” Chu Tingting seemed to believe Huang Xiaolong’s words.
There was a clear reason why, she had encountered a ghost herself, with Huang Xiaolong personally exorcising the spirit and sending ‘Lingling’ away. As for Huang Xiaolong’s abilities in the field of mystics, Chu Tingting was wholly in awe.
As Huang Xiaolong diagnosed that Zhong Hui had lost a soul and spirit, Chu Tingting was ninety-nine percent sure it was true.
“Tingting, when have I ever lied?” Huang Xiaolong said with a serious face. “Spirits and ghosts aren’t the same, ghosts like to go hither and thither, but spirits, they generally won’t move much, as they easily get lost. Since Zhong Hui lost her soul only a few days ago, we can summon her lost soul and spirit from the first crossroads outside her community.”
“Then let’s hurry!” Without saying another word, Chu Tingting began dragging Huang Xiaolong downstairs.
“Tingting, hold on. Summoning spirits needs to be done at midnight, that’s 0 o’clock.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Don’t worry too much, tonight at 0 o’clock, I will definitely help your best friend find her lost soul and spirit.”
“Until when are you planning on deceiving Tingting? I’ve already said it! There simply are no ghosts! Your so-called lost soul has absolutely no scientific basis!” Yang Kai roared with a strong undertone.
“Yang Kai! Shut up!” Chu Tingting couldn’t bear it anymore. “Regardless, I believe in Little Long. And as for the existence of spirits and ghosts, I am certain it’s real, this is not superstition! I once… never mind, never mind, the gist of it is, Little Long is not lying to me.”
Having said that, Chu Tingting took Mother Zhong’s hand and softly said, “Auntie, don’t doubt or worry, Little Long… what he said is true, and additionally, he is a very capable person. Auntie, let Little Long give it a try!”
“This… well…” Actually, Mother Zhong was mostly skeptical about the whole lost soul thing, as the doctors had clearly stated the condition as brain dead, merely vegetative.
But well, what can we do, let’s treat a dead horse as if it’s alive.
“Alright, let’s give it a try.” With a grit of her teeth, Mother Zhong nodded and agreed.
“Humph! Good! Since you all are stuck in your delusion, then tonight, I’ll also give it a try!” Yang Kai snarled with a wicked grin. “Tonight, I’ll prove once and for all that there are no ghosts in this world! Midnight, right? Who’s willing to join me at the crossroads to knock on bowls?”
“Damn it, you must be tired of living, wanting to play this game?” Huang Xiaolong was speechless.
“Yang Kai, count me in! I’m actually quite interested.”
“Anyway, I’m off tomorrow. Yang Kai, I’ll go with you.”
“I don’t believe in ghosts or deities, anyway. Yang Kai, I’ll go too.”
Three male classmates and two female classmates responded to Yang Kai’s call.
Yang Kai glanced at his wristwatch. “We have about two and a half hours left… Auntie, would you mind preparing something for me?”
Mother Zhong stared at Yang Kai, bewildered.
“Please make three dishes and a soup for me. Also, prepare six empty bowls and six pairs of chopsticks,” Yang Kai said breezily.
“Alright I’ll get on it.” Mother Zhong, being gentle-natured, did not argue with Yang Kai and headed to the kitchen to get things ready as per his instructions.
“Buddy, the moment to expose your lie is coming,” said Yang Kai with a smirk.
“Ah” Huang Xiaolong gave Yang Kai an exasperated look, “Fine, go ahead and have your fun. After playing this game, I reckon you’ll be begging me to smack you.”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong pulled Chu Tingting aside. “Tingting, that Yang Kai inherited a fortune worth 100 million US dollars. How much should he pay me for the exorcism later, you think?”
Normally, getting rid of a starving ghost is a piece of cake; a single charm would get the job done. However, Huang Xiaolong really disliked Yang Kai, so he planned to physically expel the ghost and make a significant charge for it!
“This… Little Long, I don’t know how much a ghostbuster should charge…” Chu Tingting said, looking puzzled. “However, you did mention that Yang Kai only had about three days left to live. By exorcising the ghost for him, you’re basically saving his life. A life should be worth several millions, or even tens of millions, especially to someone as rich as him.”
“Great! Tingting! I know what to do now, hehehe” Huang Xiaolong chuckled slyly.
With that, some classmates excused themselves and left. What was left was three guys and two girls, all ready to join Yang Kai in the ‘Dining with Ghost’ game.
Huang Xiaolong and Chu Tingting sat on the living room couch.
Finally!
The clock struck midnight!
“Alright! Tingting, let’s get to work!” Huang Xiaolong stood up from the couch.
Chu Tingting, devoid of any sleepiness, stood up and went out with Huang Xiaolong from Zhong Hui’s house.
Yang Kai and others, holding empty bowls and chopsticks, along with the three dishes and a soup, followed Huang Xiaolong and Zhong Hui enthusiastically.
Outside.
The streets were empty at midnight.
A gust of cold wind blew away the night fog…
