Before I 

fell

asleep

, the temperature suddenly dropped. I vigilantly opened my eyes

, but t

here was nothing at the entrance. 

However, I was sure that the cold

 wind came from the door. 

Was it just a hallucination? 

Li Mazi was playing 

on

 his phone

and 

Marco

 was sitting with his head held low.

“Hey guys, did you see anything enter the hall?”

They shook their heads. 

Li Mazi didn’t take it seriously. “This is the biggest church in Mila

n. It is

 the place where God is enshrin

ed

. How could anything foul come in?” 

Then, he 

went

 back to playing

 on

 his phone. I thought he was right

 and

decided

 to resume my nap. 

However, a stronger

 gust of

 wind suddenly swept into the hall. This time, both Li Mazi and 

Marco

 felt it. They turned to look at the entrance. 

The Yin energy at the entrance had grown thicker

, and t

he candles inside the church began to flicker. It wasn’t a

good sign! Moreover, we 

had joined

the

 wake tonight

, and

 I didn’t bring anything with me

!

Another gust of wind blew toward us, 

blowing

 out all the wax candles in the hall. I saw Yin Xinyue 

wave

 at me at the door. When I saw her, I was so happy that I 

subconsciously

walked toward

 her. 

After a few steps, I 

realized something was wrong

. Yin Xinyue had departed to China

, so this had to

 be an illusion! 

I bit the tip of my tongue

 to try 

to wake myself up. I heaved a sigh of relief when 

the image of 

Yin Xinyue disappeared. I turned to my side

 and was about 

to ask the other two to be more cautious. However, there was no one around me. They were gone

.

“Holy 

moly

!” I cursed

 and was about 

to go out to find them. 

But w

hen I turned around, I saw the Lance of God. I went 

over and brought 

my palms together

. Then, I bowed 

deeply to the statue

, drawing

 the lance

 and dashing 

toward the door. 

It’s a foreign ghost, so I should use th

is

 foreign Sacred Weapon to deal with it! It 

should be more effective

! 

Unexpectedly, when I 

went

 out, I didn’t see the two of them. A thick Yin energy lingered in the place. I knew they were bewitched and captured by the foul thing. I started to run faster. However, after a 

long

 distance, I still hadn’t seen them. I smelled the Yin 

energy of the 

female ghost

in the air. Moreover, the further I went, the thicker the Yin energy 

became

. 

I was bewildered

, and a

 horrible possibility popped up in my head

.

Maybe t

he female ghost had already 

transformed

 into a devil…

We had wounded her seriously before

, so she must have considered us her worst enemies.

 That

 was

 why she wanted to trick us

 into leaving 

the church. It also 

showed me 

she was afraid of God! 

I looked at the Holy Lance in my hand

 and gritted 

my teeth

. Then, I ran 

toward the Ghost Castle where the female ghost took shelter. 

Along the way, I kept thinking whether the ghost had become a devil or not. If not, it would be all right. But 

i

f 

she did

, would the Lance of God work? Could Li Mazi and 

Marco

 endure it until I 

arrived

? 

I called a taxi to

 arrive at the Ghost Castle before the female ghost

. 

However, when I passed by the hotel, I still hadn’t 

caught up to

 them. It was beyond my estimation

 because w

hen someone was bewitched, 

they

would

 move very 

slowly

. 

This made me 

even more worried. 

I didn’t even know if the Lance of God would 

work, so

 I decided to 

head

 back to the hotel to fetch the peach wood sword. 

I

 was

 ready for 

a

 match of life and 

death

 with the ghost! 

F

ortunately, as soon as I entered the meandering path behind the hotel, I saw Li Mazi and 

Marco

walking slowly

over

 there. Perhaps the ghost had let them slow down as she thought they couldn’t escape. 

I 

felt some

 hope again! I rushed forward to catch up with them. Then, I forcefully slapped them. 

They 

did not snap out of it 

but 

looked

 at me fiercely. Their eyes 

sparkled 

like those of a wild beast. In unison, they kicked me.

I didn’t expect that the ghost could control them to attack me

.

 Li Mazi’s kick sent me to the ground

, but it

 didn’t stop there

. They rolled 

their eyes and 

bared

 their teeth as they pressed on me. 

The

ir bodies felt

incredibly heavy

. I tried my best to wiggle free, but it didn’t work. In the end, I had to bite the tip of my tongue and spit blood onto their glabellas. 

The two stiffened 

right after

. 

Then

, they slumped aside. The weight on my body disappeared. I knew they would 

soon wake up, so

 I got up from the ground

 and

 angrily 

looked

 at the Ghost Castle. 

“Little 

B

rother Zhang, what should we do now?” Li Mazi

’s sanity was returned. 

It seemed he knew what he had 

just done

 but 

wasn’t

 able to control his body. I clenched my

 teeth

. “Since, 

it has

 come to this

, w

hat else 

can we

 do? We can only risk our lives and fight with her!” 

Then, I grabbed the Lance of God

 and dashed 

away. 

T

he moment I entered the hall, the Yin energy inside felt much heavier. Sparkling, 

p

urple wisps 

hovered

 in the air. In the 

past, m

y grandfather had told me that 

this phenomenon

 was called 

‘

vicious currents

,’

and all things

 that 

could create

 vicious currents were very intimidating. 

I wanted to leave but 

thought

 about 

Marco,

 whose father had just passed away

, so

 I quickly pulled myself together. 

As I approached

 the lectern, I didn’t see the ghost’s dried body. My heart sank. 

Did the ghost 

merge with

 her body?

Anxiously, I looked around to see if I could spot the ghost. But 

t

he Yin energy in this church was like a thick curtain of fog

;

 I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, someone screamed behind me. I turned and found Li Mazi and 

Marco

 fighting 

one

 other. Their faces looked ferocious, just as though they deeply 

hated

 the other. 

While I was hesitating,

 Li Mazi had already grabbed 

Marco

’s throat. 

Marco

did not seem

 to 

feel any

 pain

, and h

e simply pounded his fist on Li Mazi’s head. 

In a short 

time

, they both had blood on their bodies. I knew the ghost wanted us to kill each other. I 

hurried

 to wake them up.

When 

Li Mazi got 

a hold of himself, the first thing he did was swear. 

“Damn it! A moment 

of carelessness 

and we 

were

 bewitched again!”

“Hold this!” I handed Li Mazi the Lance of God. 

The female ghost had bewitched us twice, and I wasn’t affected even once. Except for my strong mentality, the Holy Lance must have also played a 

role

. 

In the meantime, 

I asked 

Marco

 to read the Bible aloud! 

If the 

s

acred 

t

ext of Daoism could stabilize the mind and expel evil

 spirits

, I guessed reading the verses from the Bible would have the same effect! 

Indeed, as soon as 

Marco

 started to read something in Italian with

 his

 solemn voice, the Yin energy around us began to thin out. It felt warm, just as though the sunlight was shining 

in

 this place.
