Chapter 7 The Secret of "Encountering Evil"
Was Dong Guanfei lying to me from beginning to end?
Men are all the same, none of them are any good!
But... is this reasonable?
impossible......
At this moment, Xie Miaoning's confidence in her ability to control men suddenly wavered.
On the other side, Dong Guanfei looked somewhat dazed.
Xie Miaoning's final leap left an afterimage, covering more than ten meters in an instant.
Compared to that, Olympic sprint champions like Usain Bolt are simply pathetic.
Damn it!
The original owner of this body was simply courting death; this woman could easily crush him if she ever turned against him.
If this woman had retaliated just now, Dong Guanfei would have had no choice but to activate the "Ruyi" energy shield or the disintegration divine light.
Xie Miaoning was still wearing a cheongsam that didn't allow for much movement, although the slit in that cheongsam was a bit too high, turning what should have been a whirlwind-like silhouette into a tumbling, fleshy wave.
She is most likely a master of "True Strength" or "Transcendental" level, and probably not a beginner.
Because the "foundation building" in physical secret arts and the "sensing" in mental secret arts are similar, both are about nourishing the body, one is for the physical body and the other is for the mind.
In a bare-handed situation, the combat power of "Foundation Building" is much stronger than that of "Sensing", but it is not a qualitative change.
However, when a cultivator with "Sensing" has a spear in hand, their combat power is much stronger than that of a cultivator with "Foundation Establishment".
Because the former has a much better feel for guns than the latter.
Dong Guanfei shook his head, quickly regained his composure, and began to tidy up the scene.
He picked up the six throwing knives and any bullet fragments he could find, then went into the yard and locked the door.
The houses here are at least twenty meters apart, so three short gunshots wouldn't cause much of a commotion.
Many villas have guards or bodyguards, but few people are meddlesome.
What Dong Guanfei didn't know was that, in the garden of a Western-style villa more than 30 meters away, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a hooked nose frowned and muttered to himself.
"How did the Dong family's child suddenly see through this elaborate scheme?"
"Could it be... that another force has its eye on Dong Guotao...?"
At this moment, Dong Guanfei sat down on the stone chair in the pavilion of the small garden.
The five-cubic-meter space backpack has arrived, a space he can sense at any time.
This space can change shape at will, but its total volume remains constant at five cubic meters.
Any non-fixed, independent item that comes into contact with any part of his body can be put into his backpack.
The items placed inside will retain the state they were in when they were placed inside.
In addition, living creatures cannot be placed in the space backpack.
Then, he began to reflect on the battle that had just taken place.
The outburst of "Super Hero's" demonic nature left him with no choice but to instantly act against his own will.
Fortunately, the "super hero's" demonic nature subsides quickly after it erupts, unlike the "honey badger" which is relentless and even fights to the death.
Otherwise, he might have desperately chased after it, or even recklessly used the "Ruyi" to dispel the divine light.
However, in a battle between masters, even the slightest mistake can lead to a world of difference.
Even if things occasionally get out of control, the problems are likely to be significant.
At least during major operations, he should try his best to prevent the "superheroic" demonic outburst.
During this time, he noticed that simply looking at the data on the data panel would not trigger the "Super Hero" demonic countdown refresh, but it would when adding points and judging the target's realm.
Ultimately, it all comes down to him being too weak right now.
Xie Miaoning's behavior just now made him feel extremely insecure.
The sixteen universal points can only activate the lowest level of energy shield and one disintegration beam once.
If the enemy sends two people like Xie Miaoning, he will have no choice but to surrender.
Both Yanmen and Quemen belong to the "Dark Eight Gates" of the martial arts world, specializing in deception.
Yanmen uses beauty as bait to commit fraud, but does not intend to steal money or kill.
Those lacking proper qualifications engage in heinous crimes such as trafficking women and children, and murder for financial gain, employing ruthless methods.
The two departments often cooperate; if soft methods don't work, they resort to hard methods.
After indulging in his rant, Dong Guanfei now has to prepare for attacks from Yanmen and Quemen within the next three days.
Before that, we still need to deal with that evil spirit.
The problem is that there is a mastermind behind the evil spirit, who is very likely the "evil-eyed witch" revealed in Xie Miaoning's inner thoughts.
The key point is that the system description states that the evil spirit can sneak up on the door in the dark at any time.
So, that thing could actually locate him!
Why?
Without understanding this reason, dealing with an evil spirit is of no use at all.
If the enemy is called "Cross-eyed Witch," then it's unlikely that they only keep one evil spirit.
So, sixteen universal points are simply not enough.
Unfortunately, although Dong Guanfei now has a deep understanding of cultivation and the secrets of the spirit world, he knows almost nothing about the current situation of cultivators and the martial arts world.
This is very troublesome, because he doesn't know how strong is considered strong, and he knows nothing about cultivation and taboos in the martial arts world, so he is prone to making mistakes and being ambushed by the tricks of the martial arts world.
Dong Guanfei felt that this was intentionally done by the original owner's uncle, Dong Guotao.
Before the original owner turned eighteen, he lived almost like a blank sheet of paper, spending his days practicing boxing, throwing knives, calligraphy, geography, history, mathematics, and Bibli.
According to Dong Guotao, the more focused the original person was, the easier it was for them to sense "Qi".
As long as one can sense the "Qi", everything else is a minor matter; with him watching over them, everything can be quickly made up for.
Therefore, Dong Guotao didn't even tell him about his background.
The original owner had never met any other relatives, nor had he ever met Dong Guotao's women. It was as if the family consisted of only the two of them, both bachelors.
The change began when the original owner turned eighteen. Dong Guotao arranged for him to work at the police station and allowed him to practice firearms shooting.
The police station exposes the original owner to all sorts of people, allowing him to quickly hone his emotional intelligence.
The plan was well-conceived, but Dong Guotao disappeared six months later.
A few days before he went missing, he dismissed all four of his household servants.
Looking back now, Dong Guanfei realizes that Dong Guotao most likely anticipated his disappearance.
Moreover, the original owner's background must be extraordinary, and if he knew too early, he might become unsettled.
In addition, Dong Guotao told him that there were unusual things and forces in this world, but did not explain them in detail.
Because once people are aware of these unusual things, they are more likely to encounter them.
In fact, people in this world vaguely know about those things, but they try to avoid talking about them.
Therefore, there are many taboos in this world.
This is somewhat similar to the world Dong Guanfei traveled to before, where adults would often ask children to pay attention without explaining why.
Of course, the adults didn't know the reason either, it was just because they had gone through the same thing when they were children.
On the contrary, Dong Guanfei roughly understood the reason after reading "The Secret of the Spirit World".
Compared to the physical world, the spirit world is like an invisible spiritual world.
The soul is formless yet has substance, so it can connect to and exist simultaneously in the spirit world and the real world.
This shows that the spirit world and the human soul have a very close relationship.
According to the book "The Secrets of the Spirit World," the souls of most humans return to the spirit world after death, which is why the spirit world is called heaven and hell.
In the spiritual world, knowing is contacting, and cognition is power.
Therefore, the more clearly an ordinary person knows and is convinced of the existence of the spirit world, the greater the possibility that he or she will come into contact with leaked spiritual energy.
If an ordinary person cannot withstand the strain, various abnormalities will occur, such as mental breakdown, mutation, madness, death, and so on.
These symptoms resemble the folk tale of "being possessed by an evil spirit."
In addition, there are indeed many strange and unusual spiritual entities in the spirit world that can take advantage of leaked spiritual energy to invade human souls, causing people to be "possessed by evil spirits".
