Chapter 82 Quirky Head Statue
"Shixi Mountain?" Zhouzhou turned her head and furrowed her brows slightly. "Uncle, is there anything special about this place?"
"Not really. Shixi Mountain is on the outskirts of Jing City and has a nice scenery. It has just recently been developed into a tourist attraction. The trajectory interMystery Section of the injured people was at this Shixi Mountain," Second Elder Uncle explained.
Zhouzhou wanted to find something that they all had in common or a place they had all visited.
In that case, Shixi Mountain seemed to fit the criteria.
Seeing her lost in thought, Qin Xu lowered his voice and asked, "Zhouzhou, is there something wrong with that place?"
There were things he couldn't say openly, but Zhouzhou understood instantly.
She nodded and glanced around before pulling him to the rooftop. "Uncle, these people have curses and negative energy on them."
"Curses and negative energy?" Qin Xu was confused. "What does that mean?"
"It means they have curses along with negative energy, which can affect a person's health. Curses can bring about misfortune, so it is not good. Uncle, I need to go to Shixi Mountain and have a look," Zhouzhou said.@@@@
She felt that the problem was probably related to that place.
Even if she didn't say anything, Qin Xu still planned on going there. He nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's go. The car is outside."
"Wait a minute," Zhouzhou suddenly held onto him and looked up at him with a smile. "Uncle, can you help me make a call to my dad? He doesn't let me wander around without his permission."
Otherwise, she would be the one paying for the damages!
For someone like her, who was short on life but long on money, thirty thousand was worse than death!
Seeing the pitiful look on her, Qin Xu couldn't help but laugh. He had thought that Zhouzhou was some kind of renowned expert earlier with the way she was talking so confidently, but now he could see she was still just a child.
He nodded with a smile. "Alright, don't worry. I'll talk to your father."
"Thank you, Second Elder Uncle!" Zhouzhou's eyes lit up, and she shouted into her phone.
Incidentally, Qin Xu had not yet hung up the phone, and Qin Lie heard everything clearly. He could imagine what she looked like right now. She was too mischievous. She wanted to be at the forefront of everything.
However, he knew that Zhouzhou wanted to earn merit and was busy carrying on the great cause of reviving Mystery Sect. She was probably more occupied than usual.
Thinking about this, he sighed lightly and raised his voice a little louder. "Be careful and stay safe."
Qin Xu lowered his phone and listened to what Qin Lie said. Zhouzhou nodded repeatedly, not caring if he could see her or not. She replied cutely, "Okay, Dad, I know."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Lie's fingers lightly tapped on the desk. This would not do. He needed to get the foundation's information immediately...
It seemed like his fears had materialized.
"Let's go," Qin Xu urged, nodding his head to indicate they should leave.
The person in charge had no choice but to lead the way for them. They led the way to the storeroom where Zhouzhou had pointed at. The person in charge opened the lock, but didn't go in. He just stood at the entrance and said, "I won't go inside."
Sweat dripping down his forehead and legs trembling, he refused to budge even when Zhouzhou didn't force him. She strode inside the storeroom with great strides.
Qin Xu turned on the light beside him, making the place immediately bright. His eyes landed on a pair of bright red eyes.
He suddenly understood why the person in charge didn't dare to enter.
The library was huge, and the most eye-catching thing was the three-meter-high statue, as the person in charge had described. The statue was covered with blood that was crimson red, and even its eyes were red, giving off an eerie and scary vibe.
The statue was supposed to be in the likeness of a Buddha, but he couldn't help but feel something was wrong. Rather than the solemn and sacred vibe of the photos he had seen in a temple, it felt ominous and menacing.
It was just not right.
He looked towards Zhouzhou, who reached out to touch the statue. His heart clenched as he said, "Zhouzhou!"
He felt that it was better to believe that something existed than to believe it didn't, especially since Zhouzhou's existence proved that these things were indeed real.
When she heard him, Zhouzhou turned around and saw his worried expression, smiling back at him, "It's okay, Second Elder Uncle, they're just small fry."
As she said that, she turned her head, and with a flick of her wrist, her paper talisman turned into a peach wood sword, pointing directly towards a certain spot, "Get out!"
"What kind of thing are you, and how dare you pretend to be a Buddha?"
After those words, the peach wood sword was jammed directly into the statue's eye.
Immediately, a sharp scream came from the storage room. Soon after, something rushed out of the room.
Zhouzhou was well-prepared and immediately cast her incantation, deflecting the thing back towards where it came from, causing it to collapse onto the ground.
Qin Xu couldn't see what it was with his ordinary eyesight, but Zhouzhou could see clearly that it was a cluster of ominous energy, far more powerful than she had imagined. It had already taken shape, which explained how it could implement curses.
Zhouzhou sneered, "Asking for death!"
With that, she raised her hand, pointing directly at the cluster of energy, preparing to pierce it.
Seemingly sensing the danger, the demonic energy shuddered and cried out, "Big sister, have mercy!"
That voice was clearly that of a child!
