g his true form and spoke to me rudely.Restart your body!"...Make it out of lotus root, like Meng Shu did before""Otherwise A celestial's power could create a lotus blossom incarnation, wouldn't that...A middle-aged man walked behind me. I was just about to turn around and scold him when I saw the clump of white fluff behind him, like seaweed swaying in the water, suddenly expand. In the mist, sharp spikes emerged and were raised towards his temples.

The moment I called out for Mu Wanchen's name, he pulled me away with one hand and raised the other to form a seal. With his other hand, he drew a weapon from behind his waist.

A cool breeze blew across my face, and I couldn't help but raise my hand to touch it. A few strands of hair drifted down lightly.

I was wounded by his sharpness before I could even see clearly, and his sword was already sheathed.

And that middle-aged man stared blankly at him, as if he had no idea what he had done.

Two soft clicks echoed, and two limbs of the arthropod fell to the ground.

I have never seen with my own eyes what a natal gu looks like. Legends say that powerful gu are invisible or hidden within poisonous mist, making it impossible to discern their size and shape.

Because animals always have natural enemies, easily exposing their form would increase the risk of being discovered.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but touch my belly button—I had no idea what the female gu was like.

Will it be a common insect or beast, or will it have a special form

The middle-aged man looked bewildered and asked, "What are you doing Why aren't you going upstairs Mind your own business, I'll climb the stairs at my own pace."

Whatever, you might as well be dead.

I muttered to myself, crouching down to examine the scattered limbs on the ground.

That was two toes that long, the tips were sharp. Mu Wanchen gave me two talismans and told me to wrap these two things up with them.

After I did so, I saw the talisman paper gradually turn dark, as if it were being stained with ink.

"What's going on" I looked up at him.

"This is someone's natal Gu, the person should be in this building. You call Mu Yunfan and seal off this building. We search room by room." Mu Wanchen ordered.

One room at a time

Here it's two units per flight, and over ten floors! Waiting for the elevator is just as long as taking the stairs, but climbing the stairs...

He really led me up a level, pinched his fingers to summon the Gu spirit, and was about to let the Gu spirit sneak into the room through the window or somewhere else.

"I quickly grabbed him: “Wait for Master Yunfan to provide us with some convenience, there's no need for this much trouble.”

"What convenience" he raised an eyebrow slightly.

As he was speaking, all the lights in the building suddenly went out, except for the faint glow of the emergency exit signs.

I was startled and ran to Mu Wanchen's side, clutching him tightly.

The phone rang at the right moment. Master Yunfan lowered his voice and said, “Be quick! I’ve bribed the property management people. The surveillance and power supply are temporarily shut off, and I’ll be watching the stairwell.”

"Good." I looked at Mu Wanchen, he nodded.

This sudden power outage has left many people impatient. Some opened their doors to ask their neighbors, some took out flashlights to check, and some said they would call the property management.

"Everything across the street is lit up! How come our building is the only one without power"

"Have property management take a look."

Two households near us had their anti-theft doors open. The Guiling zipped in with a whoosh, quickly checked things out, and ran back to report.

We climbed several floors, that middle-aged man panting heavily behind me, relentlessly pursuing.

I said impatiently, "Big brother, why don't you just go back What are you doing with us"

"Damn it... Damn it... I'm going to find out who the hell is playing pranks! I can't sleep until this is figured out!" He still doesn't know the danger, and insists on coming along.

I have some disdain for him being a drag on the team, and he's also got this cloud of mystery hanging over him. Who knows when he might be ambushed

Mu Wanchen didn't refuse, saying lightly, "Come with me...otherwise you won't even know how you die."

I whispered, "Why are you so kind He's a time bomb! Who knows when another monster might pop out of him!"

Mu Wanchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's precisely because he has already been entangled that I let him follow... to make the other party think they can ambush us, isn't that good He hears those nonsensical words all day and calls them curses. Just now the thing on his back wanted to control him, but I interrupted it, and it should act again... The natal Gu becomes stronger the closer it is to its master."

Isn't this treating this middle-aged man like a mine detector

By the time we reached the twelfth floor, my legs were already starting to shake. Standing at the entrance of the safety passage, I scanned the entire floor.

The apartment on the furthest end of the twelfth floor, with its door wide open, was pitch black.

At just a glance, goosebumps erupted all over my body. A chilling and oppressive aura emanated from the doorway.

"Mu... Mu..." I reached out and tugged on Mu Wanchen's sleeve.

He walked past me, his voice low. "Stay where I can see you," he whispered.

"OK."

I stood at the elevator entrance, only ten steps away from Mu Wanchen. I watched as he walked toward the opening of the cave with the Gu spirit in tow.

The entire building was plunged into darkness, the elevator's emergency power kicked in, and the wall-mounted elevator buttons emitted an eerie blue glow.

That middle-aged man thought he'd found the suspect and angrily followed Mu Wanchen toward that house. I stood alone outside the door, a little nervous.

Xiao Diao'er Xuan Yue jumped onto my shoulder, her big tail swishing around to wrap around my neck... Although the touch was cool, the action was very heartwarming. It wasn't for nothing that I fed it so much.

I reached out and touched Xuan Yue's head, and my blurry image was reflected in the glass of the window beside me.

Whenever I see glass or mirrors, I tend to be a bit sensitive. I took two steps back to avoid the glass window when suddenly someone came out of the safety passage behind me.

I suddenly turned around and saw a woman in red, with a voluptuous figure and heavy makeup.

She gave me a smirk and said, “……Little sister, what are you doing standing here”

I was startled by her and nervously replied, "Ah... a power outage. I was just asking the neighbors what happened."

She half-hid her face in the darkness, her scarlet lips curving into a strange smile: "This is my friend's place. I came to find him. Why is the door open and no one here"

I shook my head. "I don't know, I didn't go in…"

She walked past me, then suddenly turned back. For a moment, her neck seemed to stretch out! Her head suddenly leaned towards me, opening her red lips—

"Clatter clatter clatter... Are you here again to destroy our natal gu! I saw Mu Yunfan down there!"

I screamed in fright. Xuan Yue on my shoulder suddenly manifested and pounced forward, grabbing the woman's face ferociously!

I took the opportunity to slip past her and rush towards Mu Wanchen's room. At the corner of the stairwell, another figure in a hooded cloak emerged.

He mumbled unintelligible words, raised his hand towards me, and a surge of energy slammed into my chest!

>l into the water"Hey, where's your Great Shaman! Where did he go!" I frantically turned my head and shouted to the crowd.They were stunned, one by one they ran to the edge of the woods to look out.Gon...
