Chapter 19 Live Streaming Haunted House Adventure, Brothers!
Zhou Zheng quickly drew an exorcism talisman for everyone present to ensure their minimum safety, and also briefly consecrated their weapons with golden light talismans. This way, even if they encountered evil spirits that ignored ordinary bullet attacks, they could still injure the enemy for a short time.
As for grenades and cannons... there's no need to enhance those two with talismans. Zhou Zheng doesn't believe these things will be completely harmless to evil spirits—the main issue is the tight schedule. Otherwise, the preparations could have been more thorough. Next time, everyone should have their items fully stocked before going into the dungeon.
There were seven people present: Zhou Zheng, Xiao Xue, Tang Ying, and four fully armed security personnel.
Zhou Zheng led the way, and everyone followed eagerly.
After seeing the high-pressure sword emitting blue light and the talisman glowing with golden light, everyone's trust in Zhou Zheng increased dramatically.
Zhou Zheng took a few steps and stopped, looking ahead with a puzzled expression.
Tang Ying stood beside Zhou Zheng, holding a pistol, and followed his gaze: "What's wrong? Master Zhou, is there a problem ahead?"
Zhou Zheng scratched his head: "It's strange, really. These evil spirits only stay within a certain area and don't move around randomly. Perhaps there's some mystery to it that I don't know about. Please understand, I only started learning this skill three days ago. Of course, don't worry too much. Although I haven't been learning for long, my combat and support abilities are quite good."
"No, Master Zhou, you're overthinking it. We don't have those thoughts," Tang Ying said immediately.
The others nodded in agreement, indicating that they had absolutely no other thoughts.
No one who saw Master Zhou wielding a high-voltage electric sword emitting blue light would dare to question his strength. Even a slight glancing blow from that high-voltage electric sword would leave him bruised and battered, and he'd be left with scrapes and cuts seven days later.
Zhou Zheng carefully observed the health bars of the nearby evil spirits and found it very strange. Although these evil spirits were inherently malicious, they did not run around randomly. Could it be that the evil spirits had their own sense of territory? But that didn't seem to be the case. Even though he had brought people close, these evil spirits did not rush up to attack.
"Um?"
Zhou Zheng's gaze was fixed on a human's health bar several hundred meters away. Although there were layers of obstacles in between, in this environment, the human's green health bar stood out conspicuously among the evil spirits' scarlet health bars.
Tang Ying: "What's wrong, Master Zhou?"
Zhou Zheng raised his chin: "Go forward two or three hundred meters, there's a living person over there. Everyone keep quiet and proceed carefully."
Xiaoxue was shocked: "Besides us, what other fool would come here in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Zheng casually replied, "I don't know, they might be bad guys. Anyway, let's sneak over there first. You follow me and avoid those evil spirits so as not to alert them."
Xiaoxue swallowed hard: "Okay, as you wish."
Zhou Zheng led everyone forward quietly, even turning off the lights and relying solely on the moonlight. In the silent environment, the sound of their footsteps on the dilapidated asphalt road was terrifying.
After walking past the street corner, they arrived near a villa estate area. Zhou Zheng gestured for everyone to be quiet, carefully observing the living person a hundred meters away and listening intently.
"...Brothers, the place we're exploring tonight is a huge haunted house! Rumor has it it belonged to a once-powerful family, who went all-in on a gambling game and lost, resulting in the entire family ascending to heaven!..."
A loud female voice carried on the wind.
Zhou Zheng was stunned and looked at Xiaoxue: "We have paranormal adventure streamers in our area?"
Xiaoxue looked completely bewildered: "How would I know? I'm just a soft and cuddly little cake that plays video games."
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and then ordered: "The four of you wait and prepare. If there is any danger inside, I will give a signal. Your first shot should be fired at an open area as a warning, then send two people over to provide support, and leave two people to continue firing."
"Uh, Master Zhou, do you have a signal flare?"
Zhou Zheng gestured with his lip and raised the Demon-Slaying Dragon Sword in his hand: "I'll unleash thunder upon the sky, and you'll understand when you see it."
Tang Ying silently pulled out a walkie-talkie and handed it over: "Use this."
Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up: "Good stuff, this will work too. We'll keep the Sky-Facing Thunder as a backup plan."
Xiaoxue then took out four Five Thunder Talismans from her notebook and handed them over: "These are Five Thunder Talismans, which are extremely effective against evil spirits. Brother Zhou, how do you use these Five Thunder Talismans?"
Zhou Zheng: "Tie a rock to the evil spirit and throw it at it, or face the evil spirit within a certain range and it will trigger. Don't ask me what the certain range is, I don't know either. I always stuff it into my exercise book, roll it up, and smash it against the evil spirit's head."
The correct way is to activate the talisman to unleash the Five Thunders to attack the evil spirits, but smashing them with a notebook is just too satisfying, like hitting a phone number with a heavy hammer.
The four armed security guards were ashamed upon hearing this, and could even imagine Master Zhou's fighting style.
Finally, at Zhou Zheng's request, he took Xiaoxue and Tang Ying first, leaving four people outside to provide backup, ready to bombard the area on a small scale at any time, or call Xiao Zhengjun to call people over to level the place. It has to be said that the local weapons and cannons are still too authoritative.
Zhou Zheng had no doubt about Xiao Zhengjun's ability to call in people. The trunk of the armored vehicle was packed full of people who had driven over, not to mention the four people who came. They were the four most elite members of the team who had been called over to carry out the mission.
Xiaoxue grabbed Zhou Zheng: "Wait a minute, are we just going to walk straight through like this?"
Zhou Zheng stopped in his tracks, looked at Xiaoxue's pretty face so close to his, and raised an eyebrow: "What do you want to do?"
Xiaoxue pulled out her phone, her face beaming with excitement: "She's livestreaming, so I'm livestreaming too! Brother Zhou, is it convenient for your content to be broadcast?"
Zhou Zheng: "It's very convenient. Just say that we used the latest AI video. On the contrary, it's Captain Tang's stuff that's inconvenient to show."
Tang Ying laughed and said, "I'm pretty good at physical combat. If all else fails, I'll learn from Master Zhou and use talismans to fight evil spirits. In an emergency, I'll shoot while avoiding the cameras."
Zhou Zheng handed over the Demon-Slaying Sword: "Alright, Captain Tang, you take this Demon-Slaying Dragon Sword. Just slash at any evil spirits you encounter. If it runs out of power, grab a Five Thunder Talisman and press it on to recharge. Although its power isn't as great as when I use it myself, it's enough to protect you."
Tang Ying caught it in shock: "Use this? Then what about you, Taoist priest? What will you use?"
Zhou Zheng stretched out his fist, crackling with blue lightning: "My fist is much more effective than the Demon-Slaying Sword."
Because my swordsmanship proficiency is only 7 points, there's a combat penalty when using a sword. But it's different if I just throw my fists; bro, I'm all about raw power.
Moreover, the real killer move is the Five Thunder Talisman hidden in the homework book, which is even more effective than the Evil-Slaying Dragon Sword in small-scale battles. The Evil-Slaying Sword's maximum power is 560 points, but the Five Thunder Talisman hidden in the homework book has a maximum power of more than that.
Zhou Zheng added, "If you encounter someone you can't defeat, I'll ask you for the sword again. You can take this one to protect Xiaoxue for now."
Tang Ying was stunned. Suddenly, she had a completely new understanding of the Taoist priest Zhou in front of her. This was a real tough guy. In order to protect the "weak", he directly gave away his magic weapon and raised his fist to fight the evil spirit.
Those clear eyes, that high-voltage electric sword at full power—I love it. He's a good person.
Xiaoxue pouted and objected, "Why don't you just kill them all with your sword? Lowering your own strength will only harm us in the end. Besides, I still have talismans. You just need to kill the enemy before we run out of talismans!"
Xiaoxue triggered the Star Sea Empress's combat instincts and offered a more efficient solution: as long as the kill is fast enough, the defeated will not be able to catch up.
Zhou Zheng stared in disbelief: "Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
Xiaoxue: "You can't kill the opponent instantly?"
Zhou Zheng leaned back tactically, suddenly gaining a completely new understanding of this fragile, homebody girl. He simply reached out and took back the Demon-Slaying Sword: "Alright, I didn't bring you along for nothing. You've gained a higher status in my eyes now."
Tang Ying opened her mouth, watching helplessly as the "divine artifact" was taken back. She could only tighten the Five Thunder Talisman tucked into her sleeve.
Miss, if you don't want it, I do! This thing emits blue light and is much more effective than a handgun indoors!
