“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Hearing Yu Ning say that Han Yu abused cats, Lin Jun instinctively retorted.

“He’s such a bright and cheerful guy. How could he possibly have a tendency to abuse animals?”

“It’s not just a tendency; he has already killed many. The eight characters can only show the general trend, but his face reveals it more clearly. Look at his Servant Palace.”

Yu Ning pointed at the photo to explain to Lin Jun.

“His forehead is full, and his jawline is square. This jawline corresponds to the Servant Palace among the twelve palaces. Although he has had some cosmetic surgery, his aura remains unchanged.”

The Servant Palace was surrounded by a gloomy aura, indicating that many small animals had died by his hand. Of course, the Servant Palace could also reveal information about subordinates, juniors, servants, career prospects, and old age.

Lin Jun was utterly confused, though he could see his sister-in-law genuinely wanted to teach him—but he simply didn’t understand!

“It’s a pity he was born with such a star-like face. If he could overcome his inner demons and stop doing these harmful deeds, his future would be much brighter.”

Hurting small animals might not show immediate effects, but looking at his overall face, his later years would be very bleak.

Yu Ning sighed.

“In any case, after this matter is resolved, you should stay away from him.”

“Meow!”

The black cat couldn’t agree more. No way should their sweet and naive brother be mixed up with such a bad influence.

“I still find it hard to believe.”

“Meow meow!” You sweet simpleton, can’t you see the bad guy?

“In the rain, he gave me his umbrella while he got soaked. Despite his high status, he never looked down on me.”

“Meow meow meow!” If you weren’t a Lin, and not the fifth young master of the Lin family, do you think he’d even notice you?

“Sister-in-law, could you be wrong—ow!”

Lin Jun clutched his hand. That little fierce cat had hit him!

“I’m going to be a big star! Can you afford to leave scars on me? Damn, besides my big brother, no one has ever hit me!”

Yu Ning watched with interest as the person and cat bickered. It felt like watching a kitten trying to discipline a naive sweetheart.

For the future of their simple-minded Lin, the little cat was exasperated. Meowing couldn’t wake him up, so it resorted to using its claws.

“Sister-in-law, can my big brother wake up?” After quarreling with the cat, Lin Jun felt an emptiness in his heart.

He suddenly missed the days when his brother dragged him to the gym for a beating.

The black cat sat upright, and both it and Lin Jun looked expectantly at Yu Ning.

“He can.”

Both breathed a sigh of relief.

Initially, Yu Ning had no confidence in awakening President Lin.

But yesterday, she almost woke him up with a spoon, boosting her confidence. His true form must be nearby, reducing the risk significantly.

“I’m confident I can wake him up within a month.”

Both person and cat trembled simultaneously.

“Sister-in-law, I—” Lin Jun was so moved his eyes felt sore.

“So, you’d better behave and stay away from bad friends. Otherwise, when your brother wakes up, he might hammer you into seclusion.”

“.” Lin Jun swallowed his tears back.

“Let’s go. While it’s still early, we’ll go down the mountain and resolve your death crisis. If we wait until tomorrow when she becomes a malevolent spirit, I won’t be able to save you.”

Yu Ning went upstairs to pack the talismans and tools she needed. She planned to leave the little black cat at home, but the little one threw a tantrum and climbed up her leg, so she took it along in her pocket.

The fifth young master Lin’s helicopter didn’t have an approved flight path today, and it was too late to apply. They had to drive to the hotel where the incident occurred.

The trip took three hours. During this time, Yu Ning took a nap and woke up when they arrived.

Lin Jun led her to the floor where the incident happened. The police tape was still up, and several officers were going in and out, carrying evidence bags.

Lin Jun was puzzled.

“Didn’t they finish investigating this morning? Why are the police here again—Sister-in-law, we can’t go further, what should we do?”

“Go to your room.”

Lin Jun led her back to his room. Yu Ning drew the curtains and opened her bag, taking out the talisman drawn by the deceased and placing it on the table.

She had Lin Jun stand behind her and stuck a talisman on his forehead.

Lin Jun looked up, making a comical cross-eyed expression.

“Sister-in-law, take a picture of me. I feel like I look just like a zombie.”

“Don’t mess around. This is for your protection.”

“Do you always make people look like zombies when you protect them?”

“You think I want to? If I had any spiritual power, I wouldn’t need such expensive materials.”

If her senior brothers were here, they would only need to pull the person behind them and use their spiritual power to suppress the evil spirit.

Only she, a failure, needed to use her master’s talismans to protect people.

Talismans were single-use consumables, with each use depleting the stock.

“Sister-in-law, you… have no spiritual power?!” Lin Jun shivered, suddenly feeling very unsafe.

“I’m not even considered an entry-level Taoist now, so naturally, I have no spiritual power. But don’t worry, I can rely on my master’s resources.”

Yu Ning took out two more talismans just in case, then took out a third, chanting softly.

“I hope one talisman is enough. It’d be best if she’s persuaded so I don’t have to use the other two.”

The three talismans she took out included the protective talisman on Lin Jun’s forehead, which cost only a few thousand yuan on the market.

The second was a soldier talisman drawn by her master, worth tens of thousands.

The third was invaluable, reserved for dealing with vengeful spirits.

That’s why her disciples were shocked when they heard she only charged Lin Jun fifty thousand.

Disrupting the market with low prices.

“Stand behind me and don’t be afraid of anything you see. I’m calling her over now!”

Yu Ning filled a wooden bowl with water, placed it in front of the talisman, and began to cast a spell to summon the deceased.

“Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Jie Zhen Lie Qian Xing!”

“Is this the legendary incantation?” Lin Jun watched intently.

The black cat, nestled in Yu Ning’s pocket, widened its eyes too. It remembered she used the same chant when summoning its soul.

“This is the Nine-Word Mantra. In practical use, it has no offensive effect. Translated roughly, it means ‘Be careful, I have backing, don’t mess with me!’ It scares away timid spirits.”

“. Did your master teach you that?”

“That’s my own understanding. That’s roughly what it means.”

Lin Jun: Can I still get out of here in time?

Black cat: I’m afraid I won’t wake up within a month, right?

“She’s here,” Yu Ning said. The room’s lights began to flicker, turning on and off.

“Stop the theatrics, come out!”

At Yu Ning’s command, a faint shadow slowly emerged in the water bowl, a naked woman grinning at her.

It was Lin Jun and the black cat’s first time seeing such a thing. The black cat remained calm, but Lin Jun’s legs went weak, and he leaned helplessly against the wall.

He wanted to believe it was all a dream, but the smell of rotting flesh that accompanied the woman’s grin permeated the room.

Yu Ning felt the cold air emanating from the water bowl and was taken aback.

She thought the woman died of illness and was lingering due to her obsession. A few words of persuasion would make her leave.

But the cold air, mixed with resentment and anger, indicated this woman didn’t die naturally.

She was murdered.

Only those who died unjustly would have such strong resentment.

Rolling around asking for votes, too fat to get up, only votes can help me up.
