At the same time, about 15 kilometres away from Huaxing Road where the Xu family was located, Wei Fuyuan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed in room 1612 of a high-end apartment hotel.

After meeting with Xu Lei during the day, Wei Fuyuan had been feeling a little restless.

He was predicted to die by suicide by a girl who claimed to have the “precognitive dreaming” ability.

Of course, Wei Fuyuan thought it was impossible.

He was living a good life and had his own concerns to focus on. This was the first time he had fallen in love with someone and they had not gotten together yet, he had never considered ending his life in such a useless way as “suicide”.

But if Xu Lei didn’t lie, and she really was the soft-spoken prophet who called the [Thriller Night Talk], then her prophecy had indeed been fulfilled at least once before.

If this was not a coincidence, then, could it be said that Xu Lei’s precognitive dream would come true once again?

Holding such a nagging doubt, Wei Fuyuan was very restless all day.

However, although Xu Lei dreamt that he jumped off the building at night, there was no evidence to prove which night it would be. Wei Fuyuan was troubled and stirred as he lay awake until midnight. He became so tired that he eventually stopped thinking about it.

Before going to sleep, he also secured the door with a security chain, and placed a chair in front of the door before finally putting a mouthwash cup filled with water on top.

After making these preparations, Wei Fuyuan climbed onto the bed, turned the air conditioning to twenty-three degrees, and then wrapped himself from head to toe with a quilt, before finally having some sense of security.

Originally Wei Fuyuan thought that after these months, he must have practised everything needed, by Bei Quan’s side.

Whether it was ghosts or monsters, there should no longer be any supernatural stuff that could make him feel scared or confused.

However, this was not the case.

The reason why people feared the mystery of heaven and earth was because it was unfamiliar and unknown to most people.

Wei Fuyuan has now opened his eyes to the heavens and learned how to wield the power of merit and virtue. He is now naturally less afraid of demons, ghosts, mountain spirits, and monsters.

But, regarding Xu Lei’s precognitive dream, his celestial eye and the power of merit could be useful.

Young Master Wei finally realised the mood of the several anchors after they learnt the news from Xu Lei that they were about to die.

The “unknown” is always more terrifying than when the enemy clearly appears in plain sight.

Because he did not know if and when he would commit suicide, Wei Fuyuan was half-curled up in the bed. Even if he closed his eyes, he could not sleep peacefully.

He did not dare to turn off all the lights, and left a light on in the entrance and a light at the head of the bed.

Wei Fuyuan, still half curled up in his nest, was staring at the line of deep orange light shining outside from his quilt for a full half-hour, the restlessness in his heart only slightly calmed down from his previous preparations.

He gradually closed his eyes and laid listening to the “whirring” sound of the air conditioning into the early morning, when he finally became vaguely sleepy.

The time slowly trickled away, minute by minute.

Just when Wei Fuyuan was half asleep, he suddenly jolted in his sleep.

——Fuck!!

Wei Fuyuan was now completely awake.

He lifted the blanket up and bounced out of the bed while turning the brightness of the bedside lamp to the strongest setting.

The room was quiet, except for the regular noise of the central air conditioner’s air vents. The sound in the room could almost be described as so quiet that you could hear “a pin drop”.

Wei Fuyuan was by himself, no one else was in the room with him.

Even so, Wei Fuyuan was still scared, and breaking into a cold sweat.

Just a second ago, he clearly felt a cold wind ruffle his hair.

——That was definitely not the wind from the air conditioner!

Wei Fuyuan was very, very sure of this.

He had many experiences of facing the Hui Guis directly— every time, when the Hui Gui had touched him, the cold air that penetrated the bones of people was exactly the same as the little breeze that appeared just now.

At times like this, after facing danger directly from time to time it became an instinct, and could almost expect things.

Wei Fuyuan’s body now reacts faster than his brain.

Just when he realized what the wind meant, he opened his “eyes of heaven”—which usually took a lot of effort to open— actually opened directly and easily due to his extreme nervousness.

Immediately after this, Wei Fuyuan saw a black shadow in the corner of the room.

——This thing was too damn familiar!

Wei Fuyuan instantly realised that he had encountered a Hui Gui in a situation where he was alone and without Bei Quan by his side!

The thought of “why did the Hui Gui come to me?” flashed through his mind quickly, but then he pushed this feeling aside, knowing that it is more important to find a way to save his own life than to ponder how and where it came from!

【Use your body to remember how the power of merit should be used.】

In the moment of life and death, what Wei Fuyuan thought of was surprisingly these words from Bei Quan.

Almost at this second, countless fine golden light particles overflowed from Wei Fuyuan’s palm, but instead of flowing everywhere, it formed a thin layer of mist lingering around him. The particles then wrapped around his hand like a floating thin mist and extended all the way to his entire arm.

At the same time, the Hui Gui that suddenly appeared in the room also lunged forward at Wei Fuyuan.

Wei Fuyuan did not learn how to collect ghosts, nor did he have Bei Quan’s “Lost God Banner”, so all he could do was to jump up from the bed with one arm and dodge the Hui Gui’s blow. He then swung his arm, which was wrapped in the golden light of merit, and threw a right uppercut to the humanoid black shadow.

This time, Wei Fuyuan could not hear Bei Quan’s assurance of “hold on for 30 seconds”.

He knew that he was no longer behind the powerful and mysterious man who was like a protector.

——He could only rely on himself.

Wei Fuyuan’s fist struck the body of the Hui Gui, and according to the outline of the shadow, it seemed to have struck the side cheek of the raging ghost.

With the blessing of the power of merit and virtue, the ghost was forced back two steps by his fist. With a “whoosh”, the ghost drifted laterally from the front of Wei Fuyuan and moved to his side in an instant.

Wei Fuyuan did not even turn around.

In the blink of an eye, he caught the position of the dark shadow with his peripheral vision, before flying up directly, and kicking the ghost.

When he kicked, Wei Fuyuan didn’t even notice that the power of merit had naturally wrapped around his leg, so that he could inflict substantial damage to his opponent— a non-substantial ghost immortal, whilst not being attacked by the Yin Qi.

The cultivation level of this Hui Gui is obviously not that high.

It didn’t dare to take Wei Fuyuan’s kick directly, but repeated the same old trick, twisting its figure, forcing itself into a “C” shape, and barely escaped Wei Fuyuan’s blow.

——There’s a way!!

Wei Fuyuan had practised some kung fu in the past, so naturally, he could see that the Hui Gui are very afraid of him— or rather— of the power of merit in his body.

He made an immediate decision and turned his passive defence into active attack— punching, and kicking directly at the oncoming Hui Gui with a set of combination moves.

“Thud, Swosh, Thud!”

“Bang, Ping, Ping!”

The small suite was difficult to fight in, and the house’s furniture, furnishings, and other belongings were swiftly broken.

But, Wei Fuyuan had no time to worry about paying the compensation right now.

He could only think about how to deal with the Hui Gui that was in front of him.

Of course, the Hui Gui could not just accept a one-sided fight.

.

The Yin Qi of its body turned into countless “tentacles” of different thicknesses while circling around, attacking its prey from various tricky angles. Once it wraps around an area without the protection of merit and virtue, the bone-eroding Yin Qi and coldness would pierce the target’s body like an invisible poisonous needle, making people feel the extreme coldness that seemed to freeze the bone marrow.

Wei Fuyuan endured the icy coldness of the Yin Qi entering his body while gritting his teeth and struggling with the ghost.

With the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, glass breaking, and hard objects toppling over one after another, the room was getting more messy by the second.

However, even so, in the quiet late-night the hotel apartment was densely populated, yet no one was disturbed.

The room where Wei Fuyuan lived was like a space sealed by a barrier— no matter how much noise they made, the neighbors would not notice anything unusual or suspect anything at all.

——What the hell is going on with this thing!?

His body was getting colder and colder, and inevitably, his movements were getting slower and slower.

Other than using the power of merit and virtue to engage in physical combat with it, Wei Fuyuan did not know what other methods were there to deal with the Hui Gui.

But, it was obvious that the Hui Gui could dodge his punches and kicks, these little attacks were not enough to completely subdue it.

——Bei Quan, you bastard!!

Wei Fuyuan gritted his teeth as he fought.

——Why the hell are you not here when I need you the most?!

In the next second when Wei Fuyuan was gnashing his teeth, the two “tentacles” formed by the Yin Qi of the ghost suddenly soared and attacked from the oblique rear. While he turned around, it stabbed him straight in the eyes.

If the Yin Qi was genuinely pierced into the eyes, Wei Fuyuan would definitely have ended up blind.

At the critical moment, he didn’t even think about it. He reached out and picked up a rectangular plastic tea tray that was on the tea table, and held it in front of him as a shield.

The Yin Qi of the ghost was invisible yet very powerful. A thin plastic tray would not stop this, not even the three-centimetre thick lead plate that was sitting on top.

But, the moment when Wei Fuyuan touched the plate, his body seemed to instinctively “remember” everything Bei Quan did when he possessed Wei Fuyuan’s body when they were in the United States.

The power of merit and virtue flowed in his hand as if it was a part of his natural breathing cycle, and in a moment, it spread out from his palm like a golden film of light, whilst wrapping the tea plate completely in the mist.

The two Yang and Yin Qi “hit” the plate, immediately twitching like an electric shock, and the dark ghost instinctively shrank back.

——Yes!!

Wei Fuyuan suddenly remembered.

——I can still do this trick!

He kicked the Hui Gui away, threw away the tea tray, and pulled out a long-handled umbrella from the fallen umbrella stand, whilst desperately trying to recall the memories that Bei Quan had asked him to “remember” with his body.

A golden light flowed from within him.

The power of merit and virtue swirled up the umbrella handle until it climbed to the tip of the metal pagoda.

——That’s right, that’s it!

At this moment, Wei Fuyuan felt that he was not holding an ordinary long-handled umbrella, but Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Ming Hong sword, which was like an unstoppable divine weapon!

––”Ahhh!!

He shouted whilst sweeping the umbrella handle, first forcing the ghost back, and then made a straight thrust towards the “head” of the shadow.

Wei Erha: I’ve become a good fighter! But why didn’t Bei Quan see it!? (gasp)
