This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Chapter 266: How can we let a duck in our mouth fly away?

There aren’t many people who dare to venture out at night in Taiyuan City.

Even the night markets are somewhat deserted.

However, despite the desolation, there were certainly dozens of people around when they heard that someone was planning to venture into the haunted building on the South Street of Wang Village. They hurriedly gathered around.

“Young man, don’t act impulsively.”

“The haunted building has been sealed off for over 20 years. Throughout the years, there weren’t many people who dared to venture in for either exploration or a bet, and came back alive, especially those who entered at night. Nearly none of them survived!”

A crowd tried to dissuade him.

Realising the gravity of the situation, the bespectacled girl quickly attempted to dispel the tension, “Forget it then, Xiao Hei, I was just joking. You don’t have to take it seriously.”

Seeing that Ma Long was about to back down, Xu Yang hurriedly added, “Yeah, yeah, let’s not go. It’s okay to lose face, but losing your life would be bad!”

Ma Long: “……”

His temper…

He immediately rolled up his sleeves and glared at the bespectacled girl, “Enough of your chatter. Let’s go. It’s acceptable for me to lose face, but I can absolutely not disgrace my master or forefathers!”

The crowd tried to dissuade him again.

Once Ma Long’s stubbornness kicked in, not even three bulls could pull him back.

Seeing the girl wouldn’t lead the way, he picked up his phone and began to navigate himself.

The walk from the night market stalls to the “South Street Haunted Building” was only about 20 minutes.

Moving forward with great strides led by his navigation.

Others had no choice but to follow him.

Xu Yang hurried to catch up, and whispered, “Ma Long, you bravely go in, don’t be afraid. I’ll be following invisibly behind you.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Long stood tall and proud, “Young lady, I haven’t asked your name yet?”

“I’m Yang Xue.”

The bespectacled girl was nearly in tears, “Brother, let’s not go, okay? I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”

Ma Long grinned, “Don’t worry, girl. I’m indestructible, death can’t take me…Besides, even if I die, as a ghost, I’ll come and find you.”

The bespectacled girl: “……”

As they approached the haunted building, the number of vehicles on the street dwindled significantly.

The dim street lights cast long shadows of their silhouettes.

The cool night breeze swept over them, crisp and chilling, sending shivers down their spines, making goosebumps appear on their skin.

Some people who had come along for the thrill started getting cold feet and decided to leave the crowd.

Soon…

“We’ve arrived at the haunted building!”

Someone broke the silence.

The crowd halted their pace, looking ahead in unison.

What came into view was a five-story deserted building. Even the adjacent residential areas seemed desolate, barely any lights visible.

It was not that the residents living near the haunted building were early sleepers. Over the years, all who had the means had moved away. No one wanted to live next to a dangerous haunted building.

Inside the haunted building, there was only darkness, with occasional clattering noises breaking the stillness.

Approaching the front.

Police tapes were tied around the haunted building. The doors and windows on the first floor were all sealed with cement. There were seals placed on the walls, each with talisman scripts written on them, clearly Daoist talismans.

Even without using his Dharma Eye, Xu Yang could see the heavy Yin energy wafting above the haunted building. In the dim light, it seemed like there were shadowy figures floating around.

As no one was paying attention, he discreetly became invisible and sent a message to Ma Long, “Ma Long, you can go in.”

The doors and windows of the first floor were sealed.

So Ma Long could only enter from the second floor.

There were some pieces of sheet metal and bricks piled up in the corner, which could help him reach the window of the second floor.

Turning around, Ma Long told the crowd, “Wait here for a moment, I’ll be back soon.”

He then went over to the bespectacled girl, lifted her chin with his finger, and laughed, “Don’t be scared, Yang Xue… merely a haunted building can’t bother me.”

Stepping on the sheet metal and bricks, he climbed up to the second floor and slipped in through the window.

“What do we do now, what do we do?”

The bespectacled girl was in panic, turning to her companions, “Li Gang went into the haunted building during the day and was scared half to death. He’s still in the hospital now, they say he’s kind of lost his mind. This guy went in at night, I’m afraid he must be dead by now.”

Her few girl companions began strategizing.

Someone suggested, “What about that handsome guy? Isn’t he Xiao Hei’s friend? Let him persuade… Eh? Where is he? He was just here!”

“Should we call the police then?”

“Calling the police won’t do any good, we need to contact the Supernatural Affairs Bureau… They announced at the last press conference that you can dial the emergency hotline which will then connect you to the Supernatural Affairs Bureau…”

…

Taiyuan City is the capital of Jin Province.

The Provincial Branch of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau of Jin Province is established in Taiyuan City.

Due to the extreme danger posed by “South Street Haunted Building of Wang Village” and “Yingze Lake Garden”, and the imminent trend of forming a “Ghost Realm”, the provincial branch of Jin Province is actually located near the Wen Temple, situated in the middle of the two locations.

At this moment.

At the Jin Province Branch of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.

“What?”

“Someone went to the haunted building again?”

“For a bet?”

A bearded giant man complained, “Damn it, these youngsters are really ignorant. They keep creating nuisances… Does the haunted building seem a place anyone can stroll in?”

While grumbling like this.

The bearded man had already gathered personnel and was hurrying towards the haunted building.

Soon.

An off-road vehicle stopped outside the haunted building.

Four people, led by the bearded man, disembarked from the vehicle.

“Who reported this case?”

After inquiring, the bearded man scolded with a stern face, “What nonsense…As locals, shouldn’t you know better about the danger of the haunted building? When did that young man enter?”
