With a loud bang.
The pharmacy door was kicked open.
Two door panels flew back into the hall, landing on shelves and walls.
Even the ground shook.
Things in the operating room trembled.
"Level four earthquake?!"
The man in black almost lost his footing.
After a brief pause, he realized something was wrong.
He opened the operating room door and looked.
He saw the pharmacy in disarray.
At the entrance, a young man in white walked in.
His demeanor, his gaze, he looked completely unfazed.
He didn't pay the man in black any mind.
"Who are you?!" the man in black said with an unfriendly expression.
Seeing the man in black, the young man in white did not answer, but walked straight forward.
He reached out to grab the man in black by the neck.
His speed was so great that the man in black had no time to react.
He could only stare blankly as the other's hand gripped his neck.
The next second,
The man in black, however, smiled.
Complex patterns suddenly appeared on his black clothing.
They moved rapidly.
Bullets made of black mist shot out from the patterns.
They struck the young man in white quickly and fiercely, piercing his body.
In an instant, the young man in white's body was riddled with holes like a sieve.
At the same time,
The hand the young man used to grip the man in black's neck began to flatten rapidly.
Finally, it completely let go.
Becoming a shredded paper figure, it drifted to the ground.
"Hmph!"
The man in black touched his neck and his gaze fell on the paper figure on the ground.
He narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, he recalled the messages and ghosts he had released in the past few days.
"Could I have been targeted?"
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Seeing another young man in white appear at the pharmacy entrance, the man in black, without thinking, turned and ran into the inner room.
The ghost accompanying him, holding an umbrella, also chased after him.
The young man in white—the paper effigy.
Seeing the man in black run, he also started to run.
And he was faster.
In the blink of an eye, he had caught up to the inner room.
However, as soon as the paper effigy entered, a bright light appeared before its eyes.
Something like a formation trapped it within.
Before it could do anything,
The intricate patterns pressed in.
Entwining the paper effigy's entire body, they actually absorbed the ghost energy within it!
In an instant,
The paper effigy flattened at a visible speed.
Finally becoming a paper figure, it lay on the ground.
"Hahahahaha... Did you really think I had nothing prepared!?"
The man in black couldn't help but laugh.
"However, this paper figure has quite a bit of ghost energy within it."
Should he stay and continue 'hunting' monsters, or play it safe and escape?
The man in black hesitated for a moment and chose the latter.
He had plenty of ways to collect ghost energy, no need to rush!
With that thought, the man in black looked at the ghost holding the umbrella beside him and commanded:
"Carry me and escape through the back door!"
The ghost nodded, crouched down in front of the man in black.
The man in black put away his black umbrella and climbed onto the ghost's back.
The man and ghost were ready. They approached the back door of the pharmacy, just as they were about to escape.
*Kaka—*
*Kaka—*
The entire house began to shake, emitting strange sounds.
With a muffled *boom—*
Daylight broke through, and the roof and walls of the entire pharmacy were dismantled.
They were actually lifted by paper effigies surrounding them from all directions!
Everything inside was exposed to the air.
The man and the ghost were stunned.
"?!?!?!"
What kind of operation was this?!
Lifting the roof was one thing, but what about the large iron cage and the big golden bell outside the pharmacy?!
Who was it?
Causing trouble so brazenly?
Did they really think the country was stupid?!
Regardless of their inner shock, they still had to run!
"Hurry up and get out of here!"
The man in black urged.
The ghost carrying him nodded and ran forward.
But after only a few steps, it hit the profound iron cage with a *duang*.
Seeing this, the man in black took out a spare glass bottle filled with ghosts from his pocket.
Finally, he muttered incantations, and a forbidden technique was about to form.
*Splat!*
A two-headed paper effigy rushed over with extreme speed.
Holding a door panel in its hand, it directly swung it.
The door panel was an ordinary pharmacy door panel, naturally it couldn't harm the ghost, it passed right through.
But the man in black was human, and this swing sent him flying.
The glass bottle in his hand also flew out.
It was caught by another two-headed paper effigy.
"Pfft—!"
The man in black's forbidden technique was interrupted, and he suffered a backlash.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
He trembled his hand, about to act again.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared before his eyes.
*Dong—!*
A miniaturized profound iron cage descended towards the man in black.
*Dong—!*
Another miniaturized golden bell enveloped him.
Then, a rope flew in, directly binding the man in black into a ball.
This was not the end.
In the air, a passage to the underworld had already opened.
The paper effigies stepped forward, jointly lifted the heavily restrained man in black, and walked into the underworld passage.
They brought him directly back to the underworld.
And delivered him to the mission center.
Upon hearing Jiang Lin's explanation, the mission center staff immediately became vigilant.
They took out two more ghost artifacts and placed them on the profound iron cage and the golden bell.
Then they locked them in a special room.
Anything involving forbidden techniques must be handled with extreme caution!
...
"Jiang Wuchang, you've worked hard!"
The staff said sincerely.
Capturing someone with so many forbidden techniques must have been incredibly difficult.
Someone who even had forbidden techniques carved onto their body could no longer be treated as a mere human.
"Leave the rest to us!"
"Okay."
Jiang Lin nodded and briefly explained what he knew.
"The area in the human world will require the logistics team to repair it."
"The room is equipped with many forbidden techniques, so be careful when you search."
"Oh, right,"
Jiang Lin suddenly thought of something and glanced at the room where the man in black was locked.
"In the basement of that pharmacy, there is also a child. The situation is somewhat strange, as if they are using ghosts to sustain their life."
That child...
It was likely the reason why the man in black used forbidden techniques to search for ghosts and collect money everywhere.
Upon hearing this, the staff member opposite looked solemn.
"...If that's the case, it's an incredibly powerful forbidden technique."
"We will immediately begin investigating and figure out the source of these forbidden techniques!"
...
