"Ahem, when this old man is performing the ritual, no one is allowed to disturb me."
After the police finished preparing everything, the old Daoist priest slowly said while stroking his beard.
The police couldn't help but look at each other.
"What are you guys still doing here, get out!"
The fat superintendent immediately said to the other police officers.
"Superintendent, isn't this a bit too much?"
Some police officers expressed that they were in a difficult position.
Performing the ritual in the police station was already a bit unpleasant to the public, if it also interfered with normal work, it was a bit too much.
What's more, there were a lot of files in the police station that needed to be kept confidential and couldn't be casually opened to outsiders. They were still a bit worried about letting an old man of unknown origin stay here.
"What do you guys know! I'm doing this for the good of our police station! "The fat superintendent roared while waving his fist.
However, it seemed that the relationship between the superiors and subordinates in this police station wasn't that strict, so the police officers were still making scattered protests.
"But the work isn't done yet, there are already a lot of cases that are delayed due to the lack of manpower …"
"Yeah, what if someone calls the police? Also, I have to go out later. "
"Boss, you're preaching feudal superstition!"
"I'm an atheist who upholds the core values of socialism."
"Superintendent, if you're doing a live broadcast of a woman dancing to Elysium Jodo, I'm going out."
"Hey, isn't that too eye-catching?"
"The scene is too beautiful, I don't dare to look."
"Ahem, only at this moment do I hate my powerful imagination …"
"Then I'll pay for the processing!"
"Yeah, yeah, raise your salary!"
The group of police officers inexplicably changed the topic and made a ruckus.
"The superintendent orders all the bastards who just spoke to take turns cleaning the toilets for a week!"
The fat superintendent was so angry that he trembled and finally said with a twisted smile.
In the midst of the police's complaints, the white-bearded old man smiled faintly: "This old man naturally knows that you young people don't believe in a cultivator like me, but it's okay, I just need a while, and you guys just need to stand outside the door, you don't need to close the door, you can even watch this old man perform the ritual from the door, this way you don't have to worry about this old man messing with your things, right?"
"Sorry to trouble you, master."
The fat police chief was overjoyed and said to the other policemen, "Why don't you thank the master for his magnanimity? He didn't argue with you bastards!"
Naturally, the response he got was booing.
However, the fat director seemed to be used to being booed by his subordinates and was not angry. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zhengyi and Xu Shenxing.
"Well, Little Xiao …"
He seemed to be thinking about how to persuade Xiao Zhengyi to go out with him.
The old man glanced at Xu Shenxing's faint smile, and for some reason, he felt guilty, so he coughed dryly.
"I've met these two young friends before. I believe that they won't disturb the ritual. If you're worried, Superintendent Chu, you can stay."
Because he saw Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi standing together and they seemed to be in cahoots, the old man decided to protect Xu Shenxing and ask him not to talk nonsense.
"Is that so? That's fine, that's fine … "
The fat director rubbed his hands and stood to the side obediently.
The policemen also walked out one after another, but they didn't go far. They gathered at the door or window, watching the old Daoist, as if they wanted to see what tricks he was going to play.
The old Daoist first took out an apricot-colored array diagram and spread it on the incense table. It was embroidered with the Eight Trigrams of Tai Chi and some other symbols from the Book of Changes.
Then, he untied a palm-sized purple gourd from his waist and put it in the center of the incense table, where the array diagram was, and pulled out the cork of the gourd.
Although other people might not see it, Xu Shenxing saw a gust of clear air floating out of the gourd. After a while, it became translucent. The lower half of the gourd was like a wisp of green smoke, but the upper half was the spiritual body of a stooped man.
Xu Shenxing heard Xiao Zhengyi next to him suck in a breath of cold air.
"You can see it too? Oh, right, after such a long time of Spiritual Energy Empowerment, it's not strange that you can see it … "
Xiao Zhengyi was too lazy to complain, so he whispered to Xu Shenxing, "What is that thing?"
After studying the supernatural knowledge of Earth with Qin Xingyan for a while (mainly about East Asian Taoism and Shinto Taoism), Xu Shenxing roughly guessed the truth of that thing.
"That's a Possession Ghost."
Possession Ghosts were formed in all kinds of strange ways, but generally speaking, they were a kind of vengeful spirit.
The depth of the vengeful spirit's resentment often determined the strength of the spirit.
Most vengeful spirits remained in this world because they still had some kind of nostalgia for the real world. Therefore, they were much weaker than Xu Shenxing's spirit ghosts, which were refined by cruel means and had only unforgettable hatred in their hearts.
If a ghost spirit could kill a person like it was a game, then most of the vengeful spirits could only cause people to feel 'ah, I suddenly feel a little cold', similar to an air conditioner. Those that could affect the real world physically, such as lifting a piece of chalk, could already be considered as relatively powerful vengeful spirits.
After releasing the Possession Ghost, the old man began to chant something at the incense burner table.
However, after listening carefully for a while, Xu Shenxing found that he couldn't understand what the old man was chanting at all. In other words, the old man was either blindly chanting, or he was saying the secret code he had set with the Possession Ghost. Since the secret code itself wasn't counted as a language, Xu Shenxing's "Protection of All Races" couldn't do anything to it.
Obviously, the Possession Ghost raised by the old man was a "relatively powerful" type.
After the old man finished chanting, the Possession Ghost seemed to have received an order and began to cause trouble everywhere.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the police station office now looked like it was haunted. Well, that wasn't right, because it was indeed haunted.
The Possession Ghost threw documents everywhere and tried to make it look like a fairy scattering flowers. Strange characters were typed on the computer that was still on, and some white printing paper had bloody handprints inexplicably on it.
As for the fact that it didn't leave bloody handprints on the documents, it seemed that the Possession Ghost still had some conscience.
The policemen who were watching from the outside all exclaimed in surprise. The fat police chief who was in the middle of it all felt cold all over his body and his face turned pale. He didn't dare to move.
Only Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi showed a helpless expression.
After all this time, it turned out that the old man was a liar.
