YM778.TV Chapter 252: Final Destination, Hujia Village Station! (Sixth Update)
“Little Long… Why… why are all of them staring at me?” Song Yuru had a subconscious feeling that something was amiss. She raised her eyes and swept her gaze around the carriage. “Little Long, what’s… what’s happening?”
“Err… What is it?” Huang Xiaolong cracked a smile. “Wifey, the ‘spirit-warding charm’ I stuck on your back was blown away by a gust of ghostly wind. This means that all the ghosts in this subway have discovered that you are a living being.”
At the next moment!
“Hahahaha! We have a living one onboard! And even a woman, young and tender! Hahaha! Drain her!”
“A living person dared to board this subway—does she want to end her life or what?”
“A living person has boarded—you’re going to nowhere. She’s doomed, yeah, she’s doomed…”
“Nonsense! How come a living being dares to occupy the subway meant for us ghosts! She’s courting death! Swallow her! Drain her! Get inside her!”
A burst of crazy howling from the ghosts in this carriage, and even the other carriages, suddenly broke out.
“No one moves! This living being belongs to us!” The three Yellow-clothed ghosts stood up at the same time, ready to pounce on Song Yuru! Like a pack of hungry wolves catching sight of a plump little lamb!
“Little Long!” Song Yuru was so frightened that her face paled, she hugged Huang Xiaolong tightly. Burying her head deep into Huang Xiaolong’s chest, she was trembling without daring to look.
“Looking at you ghosts, the malicious feelings around each of you is quite heavy, and I guess you’ve all harmed humans already. Actually, I was too lazy to clean up you, intending to fly under your radar… I did not expect you not to appreciate my kindness… Fine then… I’m going to get you all!” Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a wry smile.
Just as the three Yellow-clothed ghosts and other ghosts tried to pounce, Huang Xiaolong, with quick hand movements faster than words could describe, pulled out a Spirit Container from his carry-on canvas bag.
He lifted the lid.
Boom
The tiny Spirit Container exploded into an irresistible suction force that was even fiercer than a black hole. It drew in all the ghosts in this carriage and even those in other carriages!
The agonizing howl of thousands of ghosts resounded as they transformed into streams of black smoke and entered the Spirit Container.
Finally, after a good half minute…
All the ghosts aboard this subway were sucked into Huang Xiaolong’s Spirit Container. The number was incalculable!
Sucking in so many ghosts at once was also quite beneficial for Huang Xiaolong. For instance, they could be used to refine some magic artifacts, or directly used to cultivate stronger ghosts for his own use!
The subway that had been filled with lingering ghostly, vengeful and deathly aura evaporated as if boiled away.
A warm and heated airflow began to circulate in the clean carriage.
“It’s alright now, my dear. It’s all over.” Huang Xiaolong put away the Spirit Container, and also removed the “spirit-warding charm” from his body.
Song Yuru cautiously lifted her eyes. Looking nervously all around, she then let out a sigh of relief. “Little Long… They’re gone… All those ghosts… Those ghosts have disappeared… I must say… You… You really are a grandmaster in handling ghosts…”
“Yes, as I said, what I am best at is catching ghosts, writing charm scripts, and chanting spells.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Wifey, there are seats available now, let’s sit for a while. We’re about to reach the terminal station.”
Huang Xiaolong led Song Yuru to sit down in the empty seats.
However, noticing these seats had been occupied by ghosts, Song Yuru did not dare to sit directly. Instead, she sat on Huang Xiaolong’s lap.
Immediately, Huang Xiaolong was filled with an exquisite thrill.
The subway entered the urban village station.
No ghosts got on board at this station.
In a short while, the door closed and the subway continued to move towards the next station.
The so-called next station was the actual terminal of Subway Line 14!
It was a station that the Hu Family had built extra when constructing this subway line!
A station not open to the public!
It was designated as the final destination for Subway Line 14, an extra stop after it ceased operation!
It was even a station that made the Red-clothed ghost turn pale with fear!
“Little Long, we’re… we’re reaching the terminal station soon…” Song Yuru started to get nervous, “Little Long, do you think the Hu Family’s ancestral grave… could be at this station…”
“Hmm, it’s highly possible.” Huang Xiaolong nodded seriously. “I don’t want to waste time anymore, nor do I want to see the Hu Family people remain unpunished. It would be best to get off the subway, locate the Hu Family’s ancestral grave directly, and then start digging it up. However, the ancestral grave, the source of luck for the descendants of the Hu Family, could be likened to a dragon vein of a country, is likely to be heavily defended… but none of these can stop me! Today, I am destined to dig up the Hu Family’s ancestral grave! The entire household of the Hu Family, prepare for your demise!”
While he was speaking…
The subway slowed down!
It was preparing to stop!
A station announcement came over the loudspeaker
“The terminal station, Hujia Village Station, lies ahead for this train. Passengers getting off at Hujia Village Station, please prepare in advance.”
Clang clang clang
The subway kept slowing down, slower and slower, until finally…
It stopped!
It arrived at the station!
The door opened!
“Wifey, it’s time for us to get off!” Like a shot of adrenaline, Huang Xiaolong pulled Song Yuru down from the subway.
The subway quickly turned around and left.
After getting off the subway, the two were in total darkness, where they could hardly see their fingers in front of them.
It seemed that this place was located in the deepest part of the underground, with a strange stench spreading through the air.
“Little Long… I can’t see anything… Nothing at all…” Song Yuru was frightened.
Originally, this station was extra and mostly unvisited by living humans, filled with unknown fears. Now, it was plunged into pitch darkness, so it was not surprising that Song Yuru was terrified.
“Er… This place is quite peculiar.” In the dark, the tone of Huang Xiaolong’s voice did not fluctuate at all, remaining nonchalant and cheerful. “Wifey, basically there is no light here, and there’s lingering resentment. The sunlight can’t penetrate during the day, nor can the moonlight at night. This place is a paradise for ghosts, and forbidden territory for the living…”
After speaking, Huang Xiaolong muttered, “Gold creates a thriving fire, linking the original spirit. Inside it preserves the body, outside it suppresses the demonic spirits. Be quick, be quick like the laws!”
What Huang Xiaolong was reciting was a “Fire Bell Charm”.
The next moment, a very pure fire radiated from Huang Xiaolong’s body, dispelling the darkness, illuminating all around him and dispersing the intense feeling of resentment in all directions.
With the aid of the firelight, Song Yuru could clearly see that the place where she and Huang Xiaolong were now was a three-sided enclosed space, roughly 300 to 400 square meters, with uneven walls that seemed to be unpolished.
A stone stairway snaked downwards, the destination unknown.
“Little Long… That… that staircase… is going down… It’s strange, usually to exit a subway station, the escalator or elevator should be going up, not down.” Song Yuru, both scared and curious, pointed at the gloomy stone staircase.
“Wifey, let’s follow this staircase down. There might be a major discovery.” Huang Xiaolong laughed excitedly, and then took out a total of 5 protective amulets from his canvas bag, stuck them in various places on Song Yuru’s body, and then led her by the hand towards the descending stone staircase.
