Standing beside Jiang Ba was a long-haired, skinny, middle-aged man, wearing a Fusang samurai suit and carrying a samurai sword.

His long, yellow hair covered the right side of his face; the whites of his eyes were abnormally bloodshot and the left side of his face was covered with weird tattoos. It made him look very strange.

He was fiddling with a gold necklace on which hung a black crystal pendant. Strangely enough, even though his hand did not seem to be moving, the black crystal pendant kept spinning clockwise without any signs of stopping.

Teacher Xu hesitated for a while and finally decided not to open the door.

Nothing good would come out of it!

Jiang Ba looked at Huang Quanlu. Huang Quanlu took a step forward, pounded loudly on the door and said rudely, "Old fool, open the door! We are here to carry out some investigations."

Teacher Xu answered in a trembling voice "The truth is that evil will be rewarded with evil, and blood will have blood! What else do you need to investigate?"

Jiang Ba said, "Old fool, I suspect you are the murderer. What kind of ghosts gives dreams? What you read about is what you dream of! Are you paranoid? Just because you have a dream, you think we're your daughter's murderers. Just because of a dream, you kidnapped Brother Chen, tortured him and then killed him."

Teacher Xu smiled ruefully, grabbed his hair with his hands and chokingly said, "To be honest, I wish I have the ability to avenge my daughter with my own hands. But I'm just a powerless, useless scholar."

Long Xi sympathized with teacher Xu, so naturally, she spoke up for him. "The deceased was so fat, much bigger than teacher Xu and younger and stronger than him. I heard that he even has bodyguards provided by his family. How was teacher Xu able to kidnap him? Jiang Ba, please don't label teacher Xu as a murderer just because of your own incompetent reasoning!"

Jiang Ba was embarra.s.sed and became angry. He pointed to the middle-aged man with long hair and said, "I don't want to cooperate with you! This is my able a.s.sistant. He is the consultant my father invited from Fusang, the world's most famous Yin and Yang master, the renowned Mr. Yamamoto. And I have so many followers! What about you guys? Hum, just waiting to die!"

After that, he motioned to Huang Quanlu. Huang Quanlu stepped back, ran up and kicked open the wooden door with double swift kicks.

Jiang Ba stormed in with a group of people.

Long Xi bravely stepped forward and stopped them.

Teacher Xu took the opportunity to run to the room and locked it from the inside.

Yamamoto entered the house and walked around the room with the necklace, staring at the pendant which looked like a black crystal.

Yamamoto walked around the room and saw that the pendant was always turning clockwise. He then told Jiang Ba in old style Chinese, "There are no ghosts!"

Long Xi noticed that since Yamamoto came in, Mo Kun's eyes had been staring at the pendant which looked like a piece of black crystal. She thought, "Is that black crystal so alluring? It is taking up Lord Mo Kun's total attention, oh dear, is it as captivating as I am?"

She did not know that Lord Mo Kun was really happy.

What was in Lord Mo Kun's mind was, "Great! There's a saying from Earth that goes like this 'Wearing out iron shoes and doing nothing is a waste of effort'. I drove the invisible mech around looking for this Black Magic Stone everywhere, but I couldn't find it. Now, this Fusang man has just brought it to me!"

The shape of the Black Magic Stone was similar to that of the black crystal from Earth. One of its features was that it was extremely sensitive to magnetic fields, which was why it was always rotating in a clockwise direction. Once it sensed a great change in the magnetic field in its environment, it would rotate in an anti- clockwise direction.

Jiang Ba listened to Yamamoto's words and shouted, "Nothing, that's good! Xu Yuanshan you old fool, you really are a liar. Mr. Yamamoto says there are no ghosts at all. We have just been to Xu Xian'er's dormitory and cla.s.sroom. There are no ghosts there either. What kind of ghosts go about killing people? Old fool, if the murderer isn't you, you're out of your mind! Come on, just do it!"

At his command, the followers splashed the liquid from the buckets on the sofa and the wall.

Long Xi could smell strong gasoline fumes.

She let out a roar of anger, "Jiang Ba? You want to murder him and set the place on fire? Where is your conscience?"

Jiang Ba raised the cigar in his hand, blew a mouthful of smoke and said with a smile, "Conscience? Sorry, the dog ate it!"

He was going to throw the lighted cigar onto the wall soaked with gasoline.

"Stop! Kneel down!" Mo Kun sat comfortably on the sofa and spoke slowly.

He was very confident because yesterday he already made Jiang Ba hallucinate seven times in a day. Now it was time to verify the results of the experiment!

To Long Xi's great confusion, Jiang Ba obediently stopped, but he had a painful expression on his face, as if there was an intense soul struggle taking place in his heart.

Finally, he knelt involuntarily.

"Kowtow to Long Xi three times." Mo Kun said.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Jiang Ba really kowtowed three times to Long Xi.

Long Xi couldn't help laughing out loud. "Was this also Mo Kun's superpowers?" She remembered that the two snow leopards which were very obedient and listened to Mo Kun. She thought that Mo Kun could tame not only four-legged beasts but also higher animals such as human beings. So cool!

Mo Kun then told him, "Tell your people to clean up the gasoline and not to leave any drop of it anywhere."

Jiang Ba hesitated for a while and said to the hatchet men, "Do as Lord Mo Kun says."

They had to obey his orders; so they went to the bathroom to fetch buckets and mops and began to clean off the gasoline.

Gasoline was relatively viscous and difficult to clean up.

Long Xi said with a smile, "This is called, reap what one has sown!"

Mo Kun pointed to the Black Magic Stone still rotating in Yamamoto's hand and said, "Ask Yamamoto to give me that black stone."

Jiang Ba looked up at Yamamoto and said politely, "Mr. Yamamoto, please give that to Lord Mo Kun."

Yamamoto gave Mo Kun a cold look, touched the Black Magic Stone necklace on his neck and said in old style Chinese, "Excuse me, Master Jiang. This is my important magic weapon and it is also the holy stone of my Dujiaohui. I can't give it to anyone."

Jiang Ba roared in anger and shouted, "Give it to him now! My father can pay you no matter how much you want!"

Yamamoto bowed politely, his tone was rather mild, but his words came out like needles, "It's not about the money! Without it, I'm nothing! Don't forget, Master Jiang, I'm from Fusang Dujiaohui, and my brother is its leader. Even your father has to obey him. I may be a consultant to your company, but I'm not your servant. I'm afraid that even your father can't let you do this to me."
