"Boss, are you tricking me again?" Hu Zi widened his eyes.
"Am I that kind of person? I saw you struggling with the knife while unclogging the drain, so I helped by holding it for a bit!" Lu Fei smiled as he returned the ghost-head saber to his back and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Now, tell me, what did you see just now?"
"Should I thank you then, boss!"
Hu Zi's face was full of grievance.
"I saw a female ghost, with very long hair, coming down from above..." He raised his head and looked at the bathroom ceiling, "Boss, I think I know where the ghost is hiding."
"Above the ceiling?" Lu Fei guessed from his gaze and turned to look at Xiao Guan, "Mr. Xiao Guan, would it be alright to take down the ceiling?"
"It's fine, we were going to dismantle and reinstall it anyway. Go ahead and take it down!" Xiao Guan nodded eagerly.
Without Lu Fei's instructions, Hu Zi took the initiative to act. He held the guillotine knife in his hand and used the tip of the blade to pry open one by one the ceiling panels.
Plop.
A clump of wet, stinking hair fell down, and countless cockroaches emerged from it, flying and crawling all over the room.
"F*ck! F*ck!"
Hu Zi shouted loudly, jumping around and slapping at himself.
Xiao Guan was so scared that he hid behind Lu Fei.
Even Lu Fei felt a chill run down his spine at this scene.
But in the blink of an eye, all the cockroaches were gone, leaving only that messy clump of hair.
"What's going on?"
Hu Zi and Xiao Guan were completely perplexed.
With so many cockroaches just now, could they all have been hallucinations? But it's impossible for three people to have the same hallucination at the same time, right?
The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment, Lu Fei couldn't explain what was happening either.
"The cockroaches in your house are too numerous and too bizarre!"
"Yes, my wife always says she sees cockroaches, and when she sleeps, cockroaches crawl on her face, but when she opens her eyes, there's nothing." Xiao Guan scratched his head in distress, "Boss Lu, what's going on here..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw that clump of hair moving along the base of the wall, stealthily trying to slip into the drain.
"It moved! The hair moved..." He shouted in panic.
Lu Fei only slightly turned his head.
"Hu Zǐ."
"You think you can escape under my watch? No way!"
Hu Zǐ moved quickly, slashing the wet clump of hair with a swift strike.
The hair shook violently, and a pool of black liquid seeped out from underneath, completely still.
"Mr. Guan, don't be afraid. For this kind of female ghost, my boss doesn't even need to lift a finger. One slash from me is enough!" Hu Zi coolly slung his large knife over his shoulder.
"A female ghost?" Mr. Guan looked startled. "But the hand that delivered the soap was a man's arm. My wife also said that sometimes when she's sleeping, she feels a man's hand touching her. She thought it was me, but when she turned around, I wasn't in bed at all."
"This means there's another ghost in your house, and it's a lecherous one, able to move freely around the house. The one in the hair is just a female ghost. Such evil spirits, besides attaching to hair, also stay in dark and damp places."
Lu Fei said, using a piece of yellow paper to ignite the hair, burning it all up cleanly.
"But how could the hair get up into the ceiling?" Mr. Guan still didn't understand.
"Maybe it has something to do with the cockroaches in your house."
Lu Fei suddenly realized that where there are evil spirits in a house, there are cockroaches.
What exactly is the relationship between the two?
He narrowed his eyes and left the bathroom.
The living room still had a strange odor lingering, the destructive power of Huzi's stinky feet was indeed too great, and Xiaohei refused to come over, staying by the window to catch a breeze.
Lu Fei looked around; the bedroom and study hadn't been searched yet, so he strode over there.
Xiaoguan followed closely behind him and Huzi.
With the successful elimination of two ghosts, Xiaoguan felt more at ease, not as tense and panicked as in the beginning.
However, after thoroughly searching all three rooms, apart from some dead cockroaches, they found nothing out of the ordinary.
That lecherous ghost seemed to be hiding.
"Manager Lu, did the last one run away out of fear?" Xiaoguan asked hopefully, after all, Lu Fei was so powerful that a random talisman could exterminate a ghost.
"The yin energy is still here, it hasn't run away."
Lu Fei slightly sensed the presence and his gaze swept across the bedroom. Suddenly, he smiled faintly and closed the door.
Then, he placed ghost-repelling characters on the doors and windows.
"Hu Zi, go check under the bed."
"Okay!"
Hu Zi had been holding the ghost-head knife all along, afraid that the boss might trick him again. He crouched down and peered into the dark space under the bed.
At this sight.
His mind went numb instantly.
Under the bed, there were densely packed dead cockroaches, covering a thick layer!
"Oh my god! Did they bust a cockroach nest or something?"
Hu Zi, suppressing the goosebumps all over his body, inched his head further under the bed, ending up lying flat on the ground.
In the cramped space, he carefully turned his head to search around.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his ear. Without looking, he hastily swung the ghost-head knife horizontally.
Only when the chill dissipated did he turn to look.
A hairy man's arm quickly retracted into the mattress.
Ghost catching ear, the ear falls off.
If truly ambushed by that ghostly creature, he would have been deafened for life.
"Get out!" He wildly swung his ghost-head blade under the bed, stirring up a mess of dead cockroaches everywhere.
The licentious ghost could no longer stay hidden and quietly emerged from the other side of the bed, hiding behind the curtains like a shadow, then moved around Lu Fei to come behind Xiao Guan.
Xiao Guan, who was nervously watching the bottom of the bed where Hu Zi was, was completely unaware.
The licentious ghost extended its arm toward his back, as if trying to possess him.
But before it could touch him, an ordinary-looking, rolling pin-like wooden stick reached out.
"Got you!"
Turning around, he found Lu Fei looking at it with a smile on his face.
The small stick carried a power that made the ghost genuinely fearful; the lecherous ghost turned pale with fright and tried to run away, but was violently bounced back by the ghost-repelling character on the door.
"When did you come out?"
Hearing the commotion, Hu Zi climbed out from under the bed and brandished his knife menacingly at the lecherous ghost.
Unable to run or fight, the terrified lecherous ghost lunged at Xiao Guan, the weakest of the three.
"Oh my mom!"
Xiao Guan was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body, and he stumbled backward.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, there was a clap of thunder, and before he could see what was happening, the hideous lecherous ghost vanished into thin air in front of him.
"It's, it's gone?"
Xiao Guan stood rooted to the spot, dazed and dripping with cold sweat.
What was that just now? A spell?
Lu Fei then checked the entire house again with Hu Zi and clapped his hands.
"Alright, Mr. Xiao, all the evil spirits in your home have been cleared out."
These little ghosts in his house were terrifying enough for an ordinary person, but they were nothing to Lu Fei at this point in time.
"R-Really?"
Xiao Guan still could not quite believe it.
It was hard to imagine that the evil spirits, which nearly cost his wife and child their lives, were so easily defeated before Lu Fei.
"Then, if we renovate the house, will everything be fine from now on?"
"No!" Lu Fei shook his finger, "There is one more critical issue. If this problem is not solved, there will be a constant influx of foul things coming in."
This key point is the most dangerous place in his house!
