Book 2: Chapter 24: Preparations

The Nocturnal Revenant bar closed once again.

Ever since it first opened two years ago, this had never happened. Now, it happened twice in short succession. This made those regular customers with special desires a little annoyed. They all assumed some vixen seduced the handsome and elegant boss into having a private tryst.

Actually, around midnight, the vixen in question was sitting rather nervously in Ruan Zhans jeep, which was parked near the school. She forced herself to toughen up and go potentially throw her life away. The most frightening thing was that the cause of death may be from being overly frightened.

The sky was extremely dark. The rare humidity in September signaled that a storm was coming.

Have you memorized the plan? In the darkness, seeing Xiao Xias nervous and weak appearance, Ruan Zhan had the urge to have her leave immediately. Unfortunately, she wasnt able to do so.

Xiao Xia nodded.

Go inside with you without speaking to you. Act as if Im alone. After youve hidden yourself, open the first locker in the first row and look into the mirror. She let out a sigh and relaxed her slightly trembling voice. The moment it appears or if I get especially scared, I should take a step back. That way Ill be able to see you. ThenI run without turning back, and find Wan Li outside the door.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

You forgot the part where you splash this bottle of enchanted water onto it, or whatever comes out of the mirror. Ruan Zhan gently reminded her, afraid to scare the already tensed Xiao Xia.

This made Wan Li, who was also in the backseat, extremely surprised. He had never seen Ruan Zhan act this way.

You dont have to open the lid. Itll burst by itself when encountering foul things. Ruan Zhan continued speaking. Also, keep hold of the mahogany sword. Dont hold back if you encounter anything. Just directly give it a slash.

Xiao Xia nodded wildly.

Ruan Zhan looked at the jade amulet and Wan Lis borrowed silver cross on Xiao Xias neck and felt a little better.

The enchanted water he created was the key to trapping Bloody Mary. The mahogany sword was something he hurriedly constructed with a lot of effort. He and Xiao Xia each had one. Although they werent much to look at, looking like shoddy wooden strips covered in symbols, he had poured all his spirit power into their refinement and enchantment. He hoped they could exhibit even more power.

Especially the one Xiao Xia held.

Using such an insult against an intellectual, arent you going about it the wrong way? Wan Li let Ruan Zhans finger, which was stained with talisman ink, draw between his brows. Anyhow, are you sure lightly drawing this on will be effective?

I can also use a knife to carve it.

No, that would ruin my face. Wan Li pushed Ruan Zhans hand away. Is this ink made with the tears of a bull? Ive heard that putting the tears of a bull on your eyelids lets you see things you shouldnt be able to see.

Where did you hear such rumors this time? Ruan Zhan asked as he hung his own equipment around his waist. Even if there is such a saying, its not something that works with ordinary bulls.

Arent you going to give me heavenly vision? Xiao Xia asked.

Its not a good thing. It would let you see horrifying things. Wan Li patted her head.

But invisible things are more frightening. I want to see. Ruan Zhan?

Ill do it for you after we get inside. This was the schools side doors. The vital energy was lacking here and they might encounter some unrelated spirits. Doing it inside so she would only see the necessary things for tonights exorcism was better.

Now, drink this. He pulled out a water bottle filled with turbid liquid.

What is that? Looks very unsanitary. Wan Li was picky. You arent using this enchanted water in place of a concealment spell, right?

Either you drink it or explain to the police why youre here in the middle of the night after you get discovered. He didnt have the strength to spare for a concealment spell. This was the most efficient and energy-saving method.

Fine, fine. Wan Li unwillingly took a sip and handed it to Xiao Xia. Will you drink? It actually doesnt taste like anything.

Xiao Xia also took a sip and then it was Ruan Zhans turn.

He checked his watch one last time. Lets go. Do your best to avoid the streetlamps. Although others can no longer see us, we will still have shadows.
