Chapter 1009: The Mysterious Elder You
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
That’s right! It was this feeling. Yang Ming’s heart suddenly put it together. When he was with Xia Xue that day, it was this feeling. First, there was an illusion, and then it became clear.
It really was this kid, Chen Afu, who played tricks! He did not expect that today’s freak combination of factors actually caught this kid!
The voodoo powder in Chen Afu’s hand was taken away, and he suddenly became dejected. This was the only weapon he relied on to win. When he lost the weapon, it meant that he lost the ability to continue to fight with Yang Ming.
When it comes to fighting, he was not Yang Ming’s opponent. If he fought with Yang Ming, Yang Ming would beat him up with three attacks. Of course, this was what Chen Afu idealized. According to the strength of Yang Ming, one attack would let him see the King of h.e.l.l.
Chen Afu had already expected the worse before coming out of the house today. At worst, he could be caught by the police! But even if he were captured by the police, it would be better than being killed by Elder You. Chen Afu witnessed Elder You’s method; it was inhumane. Chen Afu would rather be shot than being sucked into a wry corpse by Elder You.
“Don’t hit me. I won’t resist.” Chen Afu said directly.
Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile. Isn’t this guy too timid? He can go scare others with this kind of guts? Yang Ming shook his head.
He efficiently got Chen Afu in the car and threw him in the back seat.
Yang Ming and Zhang Zhishen sat in the front seat while staring at Chen Afu.
Zhang Zhishen wanted to speak, but Yang Ming waved his hand and motioned for him not to talk.
“Chen Afu, I didn’t expect it. You graduated for half a year, and we meet again?” Yang Ming looked at Chen Afu, sneered, and said, “But I have to admire you. Your means of pretending to be a ghost is more and more sophisticated. Now, you also know how to use voodoo?”
“You… how did you know?” Chen Afu was shocked. He thought that Yang Ming caught him because he had disturbed Yang Ming’s good deeds at the foot of West Star Mountain in the suburbs, but he did not expect Yang Ming to know so much.
“Of course I know, and I also know that the recent series of haunting cases were all done by you, weren’t they?” Yang Ming didn’t think that Chen Afu was so timid that he just admitted it when Yang Ming asked.
What Chen Afu said was not “What are you saying,” but “How did you know”? This was tantamount to admitting to Yang Ming’s question.
” Ah …” When Chen Afu heard it, he suddenly paled and lowered his head. He didn’t expect Yang Ming even to know this. “You… what are you going to do?”
“Who taught you this voodoo method?” Yang Ming did not answer Chen Afu’s question but continued to ask.
“I…” Chen Afu was shocked. This can’t be said. Thinking of Elder You’s horrifying look, Chen Afu’s body felt a chill. He couldn’t betray Elder You. Otherwise, he would die in a ghastly way. Thinking of this, Chen Afu couldn’t help but tremble.
“You don’t want to say?” Yang Ming smiled and stared at Chen Afu.
Chen Afu didn’t know why, but he had a deep fear of Yang Ming, just like Elder You! He was definitely afraid of Elder You, but he was also scared of Yang Ming!
Moreover, at this moment, he was facing Yang Ming, not Elder You. So, Chen Afu was a bit troubled. He didn’t know if he should tell the truth.
“Fine. Even if you don’t say it, I know it roughly.” Yang Ming said faintly, “Was this voodoo taught by someone named Elder You?”
Just now, when Chen Afu was struggling with his nervousness. Yang Ming snooped on Chen Afu’s thoughts with his special ability and found some clues.
But it was just a clue. Yang Ming didn’t know who Elder You was. He only saw such a name flash in Chen Afu’s mind.
“You… you know?” Chen Afu exclaimed, “You already know?”
“I roughly know, but I still want to hear it from you.” Yang Ming swindled. He let Chen Afu mistakenly think that he knew everything so that Chen Afu’s psychological defense would collapse instantly.
In fact, it was true that Yang Ming overestimated Chen Afu. What kind of psychological defense does this guy have? As long as Yang Ming scared him with a few more words, he would say everything.
Now, Chen Afu thought that since Yang Ming already knew a lot, he didn’t need to hide. He came clean with his experience of pretending to be a ghost to scare others, meeting Elder You in the hospital, seeking an apprentices.h.i.+p from Elder You, and helping Elder You to scare others to death.
Yang Ming was stunned when he heard it. He didn’t expect Chen Afu to have such a legendary experience!
“Who is Elder You? What is his full name?” Yang Ming asked.
“I… I don’t know.” Chen Afu replied stutteringly.
“You really don’t know?” Yang Ming scolded and sinisterly looked at Chen Afu.
“Really… I really don’t know… I don’t dare to hide it.” replied Chen Afu quickly.
Seeing Chen Afu’s s.h.i.+vering look, it didn’t seem like he was lying. Yang Ming nodded and continued to ask, “Then why does Elder You want so many dead people?”
“I am also not very clear about this. Supposedly, it is for some cultivation where he needs the blood of a person who just died… It is called some skills…” Chen Afu frowned, and he seemed to be unable to remember.
“Sinister Voodoo!?” Zhang Zhishen suddenly interrupted.
“Yes, it’s Sinister Voodoo; it’s Sinister Voodoo!” Chen Afu nodded and confirmed.
“It seems to be like this; then it wouldn’t be wrong…” Zhang Zhishen said thoughtfully to Yang Ming, “Brother Yang, I basically know the general idea.”
“We will talk later!” Yang Ming gave Zhang Zhishen a look to ask him not to be impatient. Wait until he interrogated Chen Afu before they looked into other things.
“Can you contact Elder You?” Yang Ming asked Chen Afu.
“I can…” Chen Afu nodded and said, “I will call him after scaring others to death. After a while he will come over to collect the corpse… but it may not be him that comes personally. This I don’t know.”
Yang Ming suddenly had an idea. He didn’t know if Chen Afu could call Elder You and lure him out. Zhang Zhishen saw Yang Ming’s expression and seemed to know Yang Ming’s thoughts. Immediately, he shook his head.
Yang Ming was a bit puzzled, but at this time, it was inappropriate to ask. Yang Ming glanced at Chen Afu and struck his neck directly, rendering him unconscious immediately.
Yang Ming then said, “Let him lure out Elder You. Is there anything wrong with it?”
“Of course, it’s not right…” Zhang Zhishen suddenly smiled bitterly. “Brother Yang, if my guess is right, Elder You from this Afu’s mouth is the barbaric High Priest You in our family clan. He was the one who persecuted the old clan elder, took away the sacred objects of the clan, and then did not hesitate to practice the Sinister Voodoo. He tried to unify our clan, but it was in vain… When it comes to this, Brother Yang, you should understand how powerful he is. Even the old clan elder is not his opponent, he was also… Miss Lan is now concentrating on her studies, just to deal with him…”
“That is, you are not an opponent of this Elder You?” Yang Ming nodded. He finally understood Zhang Zhishen’s meaning. Elder You was quite powerful, and he couldn’t be seized with just the power of two people.
“It’s not just me. Even if I teamed up with Master now, we are unlikely to be his opponent. Only the Grand Master can battle with him!” Zhang Zhishen smiled bitterly.
“Grand Master? Are you talking about Lan Ling’s grandmother?” Yang Ming’s heart was suddenly moved. If Chen Afu is handed over to Lan Ling’s grandmother, would she have a way to deal with that Elder You?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly felt that this was a good idea. Whether Lan Ling’s grandmother could overpower Elder You, it was her judgment. So it was much safer than to capture Elder You with Zhang Zhishen.
“Yes.” Zhang Zhishen nodded and said, “She’s the Grand Master.”
“Then let’s send this kid to Lan Ling’s grandmother to see if she has any ideas,” said Yang Ming.
Zhang Zhishen nodded and said, “This is a good idea. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to deal with it. After all, this involved too many things. It is not something I can handle…”
Yang Ming nodded and said, “Let’s go. We’ll go now. We can’t have any other issues arising!”
Initially, Yang Ming wanted to send Chen Afu to Ma Xiaoyao (Lan Ling’s grandfather, Lan Hai), but Ma Xiaoyao asked Yang Ming to help keep his ident.i.ty a secret. Even Lan Ling’s grandmother (Grandmother) couldn’t be told, not to mention Zhang Zhishen in front of him. So, Yang Ming thought of sending Chen Afu to Lan Ling’s grandmother.
Zhang Zhishen drove towards Marina Square following Yang Ming’s instructions and parked the car near the square. Yang Ming took Chen Afu, and along with Zhang Zhishen, walked to the stone stele in the square.
This was a secret pa.s.sage where Yang Ming was led by Lan Ling’s grandmother last time. The two stood by the stone stele. Yang Ming did not know how Lan Ling’s grandmother opened the secret pa.s.sage the last time. He just remembered that she fumbled on the stone stele a few times, then, the secret pa.s.sage was opened. So, Yang Ming imitated Lan Ling’s grandmother and fumbled with the stone stele. However, after fumbling for a while, the stone stele remained there.
However, it was no wonder that this waterfront plaza was a scenic tourist spot. In the summer, there were tourists everywhere during the day. If this secret pa.s.sage were so easily opened, then wouldn’t it been opened up thousands of times?
There must be rules and techniques that he didn’t know.
Just when Yang Ming was unable to do anything, he heard the sound of ” Zhi Ga Zhi Ga ” suddenly coming from the side. The stone stele slowly moved to the side, revealing a cave below, precisely the cave that Yang Ming saw last time!
