Horror Camgirl - Ch. 25: Duel with the Master
The door was secured with plastic ropes. As Tang Mingli raised the knife to cut, I was about to open the door when suddenly the ringing sound startled me.
I looked at my phone and saw it was True Lord Zhengyang requesting a call.
He’s back?
I happily answered the call, and a familiar, elderly voice came through: “Girl, you must not go in.”
I was taken aback. “Old Sir, is it that dangerous inside? Are we unable to handle it?”
True Lord Zhengyang replied, “Girl, this private room is located in what is known in Feng Shui as a 'ghost corner.' This place is absolutely forbidden for guests, and no one should enter. It is said that those who enter can become entangled with vengeful ghosts. Generally, anyone who goes in will either die from ghostly harm or fall gravely ill for no reason, severely draining their energy.”
I panicked: “What should we do then?”
“Don’t worry. I will teach you a method to enter and exit the ghost corner at will, without harm.”
Following his instructions, I drew a talisman with special cinnabar on my chest. To ensure the audience could see, I focused the camera on my chest.
Little did I know, this stirred up a hornet's nest.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and then focused on Tang Mingli’s chest muscles. This time, the female audience erupted in screams.
Donations flooded in like snowflakes, and I felt a surge of joy as I said, “Now, let’s go see if there really are ghosts.”
I pushed the door open, and a chill rushed towards me, making me shudder.
“The yin energy is so heavy.” I tightened my collar and scanned the surroundings. Before I could take a closer look, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside.
“Someone is coming.” I pulled Tang Mingli aside and hid in the shadows.
“Master Zhou, you’re willing to come and help us exorcise demons and eliminate vengeful ghosts? You’ve truly saved our lives. This is a entertainment venue, and the rumors of hauntings are scaring away customers. Who wants to come and spend money here? Previously, the top private rooms on this floor were always packed; now business is terrible. Alas.”
“Boss Qiu, please calm down. Let me take a look first.” A voice, sounding deep and mysterious, came through.
“Hey, what’s wrong with this lock? Is there someone inside?” he shouted loudly. “Whoever it is, get out here!”
Seeing there was no way to hide, I glanced at Tang Mingli. He took my hand and stepped forward boldly, saying, “It’s me.”
“You?” Boss Zhou frowned. “Who are you?”
I was a bit surprised and whispered, “Your reputation seems to have its limits.”
Tang Mingli replied, “My base isn’t in Shan City. Here, there are only a few who know me.”
I twitched my lips: “What should we do then?”
Tang Mingli strode forward and said, “We heard there are ghosts here and came to catch them.”
“You two? Catch ghosts?” Boss Zhou laughed heartily, “What a joke! You two kids haven’t even matured yet and think you can catch ghosts? Someone, throw these two out!”
The live stream room instantly erupted in chaos.
Tang Mingli waved his hand, and the two security guards, former special forces, were taken aback, stepping back involuntarily.
Their skills were top-notch in the military, having won awards in competitions, yet they were pushed back by a young man with a single move.
This young man was definitely not simple.
Tang Mingli said, “Boss Zhou, how can you run your business while driving customers away? Since we’re all here to catch ghosts, why not showcase our skills? After all, you won’t be at a loss.”
Boss Zhou wanted to protest, but Master Zhou sneered, “If they want to stay, let them. I’m just catching ghosts, nothing to hide. Just don’t pee your pants later.”
The audience’s tastes have changed; if it’s just ordinary ghost-catching, they’ll get bored. It’s best to have some dramatic moments to satisfy their desire to see the high and mighty taken down a peg.
The question is, can I really take him down?
“Hahaha, he’s just a rookie. Girl, don’t worry, with me here, you’re safe,” True Lord Zhengyang said.
I felt overjoyed; with this reclusive master by my side, what was there to fear?
I recalled how the novel depicted dramatic moments, took a step forward, and said, “Master, this room is quite sinister. I see you aren’t wearing any magical artifacts. Aren’t you afraid of trouble by entering so rashly?”
Master Zhou snorted, “A novice is still a novice; no insight whatsoever.” Saying this, he took out a compass, casting a dismissive glance at me, “This compass was passed down by my ancestor. It’s been around for one thousand eight hundred years and is the only magical artifact of its kind in all of China.”
“Hahaha, this guy really knows how to boast,” True Lord Zhengyang laughed, “This compass is at most a hundred years old, and it doesn’t even have a hint of spiritual energy. How can he dare to call it a magical artifact?”
I smiled without exposing him and said, “Master Zhou, you’d better be careful.”
Master Zhou scoffed, “What a joke! As a disciple of the Heavenly Way Sect, how could I be harmed by a few ghosts? Outsiders, get out of my way and don’t hinder my spellcasting.”
Boss Zhou also shouted, “Get lost, get lost! Don’t get in Master’s way, or I’ll break your bones!”
I exchanged glances with Tang Mingli and retreated to a corner. Master Zhou held up his compass and walked around the room, finally stopping in a corner. His expression changed, and he shouted, “Which ghost dares to cause trouble here? Come out quickly!”
With that, he suddenly threw a handful of cinnabar. This cinnabar was ordinary and could not compare to my special cinnabar.
Suddenly, a blood-like figure appeared in the corner of the room, looking like a beautiful woman with long hair and a graceful figure.
Boss Zhou’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, “Master, it’s a ghost! It’s really a ghost! Quickly eliminate her!”
I narrowed my eyes slightly. Could it be that Boss Zhou has some secrets he doesn’t want revealed?
Master Zhou drew out a peachwood sword from behind and loudly declared, “You wicked ghost, today I shall uphold justice and send you to the underworld!”
With that, he lunged with his sword, producing a gruesome sound as if piercing through flesh, and the blood figure let out a piercing scream.
He swiftly pulled back the peachwood sword, and the blood figure transformed into a wisp of red smoke, disappearing without a trace.
Having dispatched the female ghost, Master Zhou turned back, satisfied, and said to Boss Zhou, “Mission accomplished.”
