C18 To the Soul-burn Furnace

Early the next morning, Manager Qian and I began to prepare the required "tools".

Monica wouldn't stay home alone, so she drove us out to buy the materials we needed.

The first thing we have to prepare is firecrackers. It's just that normal firecrackers won't have any effect. After buying the firecrackers, take apart one by one and pour out the medicine mixed with glaze, sulfur and charcoal. Mix it with a certain proportion of cinnabar and then fill it back with glue to seal it. Ordinary firecrackers did not have much use for ghosts, but those who had mixed with cinnabar would harm them. According to Ghost Scripture, cinnabar was similar to iron cinnabar in hunting rifles to humans.

The second item was not easy to obtain. Manager Qian had to run outside for an entire day before he could prepare the necessary items. This thing called "Ghost Fixing Needle" in "Ghost Scripture" was used to show the location of the surrounding ghosts.

The preparation method was also very complicated. It was to cut off some hair from the tail of an old cat, then find a locust tree that grew on the dark side, and cut off a piece of branch to cut it into the shape of a toothpick. Put the old cat's tail hair and the locust tree into a small box like a compass, spread the cat hair underneath, and place the locust stick and the turning device on top of it.

Seeing the disbelief on Manager Qian and Monica's face, I could only explain that there was a connection between all of this.

At this age, cats often roam the places where yin energy is gathered, and cats are as sensitive to ghosts as dogs. The cat, on the other hand, had discovered these things with its radar tail, so the short hairs on the old cat's tail could be used to gather some sort of bioelectricity. As for the locust tree, it was famous for recruiting ghosts. The dark side of the locust tree had a type of "towards negative". In a horizontal state, the locust tree would point to places that were filled with ghostly aura.

The third thing was garlic juice. Monica wisely thought of her juicer and bought a lot of garlic, which she broke into a paste, and mixed it with water and filled it with ten bottles.

We spent most of the day preparing two backpacks of "Scarlet Sand Firecrackers" to consider the monster that could run out and kill us at any time. We decided to spend the night in Hangzhou to find clues. Monica temporarily took Mao Mao to Annie's house, and the three of us drove out of Shanghai and headed straight for Hangzhou.

As the car sped along the highway, the road ahead of us was as dark and unfathomable as the result of our trip.

The three people in the car were silent, each lost in their own thoughts. Only the radio was strenuously singing an ancient and sorrowful song.

I stared out the window into the darkness, recalling the countless times I had come back from missions in the dark, bathed in blood, and the number of comrades who, after experiencing the darkness, never saw the morning sun again. This time, what I'm going to deal with is not the drug dealers with AKs and grenades, nor the mercenaries equipped with sniper rifles and rocket launchers, but something that even modern science cannot fully comprehend.

The only thing that I can rely on is the unimaginable methods recorded in the Elder Bai's《 Ghost Scripture s》, as well as my loyalty towards my brothers and friends and my own little instinct to survive.
