Chapter 73: Preparation

Yang Haoran listened attentively throughout, but he didn\'t speak. Instead, he kept his head down, devouring the food.

The Wu Family chef\'s skills were exceptional, and Yang Haoran had never eaten such delicious dishes in his life, so he couldn\'t stop eating.

At the dining table, Yang Haoran indulged the most, followed by Ma Ling, who didn\'t eat much but drank a lot.

The others were preoccupied, especially the members of the Wu Family, each wearing a haunted expression.

Even Guanhai\'s complexion was pale at this moment, with no appetite. Originally, the affairs of the Wu Family had nothing to do with him, but listening to the Wu Family talk about the recent events in the villa, even an outsider like him couldn\'t help but feel jumpy, imagining what kind of torment the Wu Family members were undergoing internally.

"It\'s certain that this villa is haunted. From the moment I entered the villa, I sensed the presence of Yin Qi here. However, based on your descriptions, I believe this ghost is still in the undead stage, just much stronger than the ordinary undead," spoke Wang Yiming. He barely touched his chopsticks throughout the meal and didn\'t drink, merely listening to the Wu Family\'s account. It was only after they finished that he made this assessment.

"Undead?" The Wu Family members didn\'t quite understand Wang Yiming\'s explanation, showing expressions of confusion.

"The so-called undead are what ordinary people usually refer to as ghosts, formed seven days after a person\'s death. Ordinary undead don\'t have much attacking power; their only means is to scare people in their dreams, being the lowest level of ghost. Of course, if you encounter an undead skilled in frightening people, coupled with someone particularly timid, it\'s quite normal to be scared to death by them," explained Ma Ling, hiccuping from the alcohol she drank, addressing the Wu Family.

"She\'s right. Undead can only scare people in dreams. Wu Xiaojie\'s terrifying experience on the first night didn\'t actually happen in reality; you were all in a dream. Even if you felt like you were scared unconscious, it was still in a dream," Wang Yiming elaborated.

"What about the crying and laughter we heard at night, the lights turning on by themselves, books flipping open on their own, and the dead animals both inside and outside the villa?" Master Wu asked puzzledly.

"As I just said, this undead is much stronger than ordinary ones, and because of that, it can do things that ordinary undead can\'t. The laughter, the crying, even seeing books flip open, those are probably hallucinations. As for the dead animals inside and outside the villa, they might have lost their lives due to the strong influence of Yin Qi. However..." Wang Yiming paused, frowning, his expression turning grim.

Seeing Wang Yiming\'s expression, the Wu Family members grew tense. Master Wu quickly asked, "However what?"

"However, dealing with this kind of undead is quite tricky," Ma Ling replied to Master Wu, still hiccuping from the alcohol.

"Ordinary undead can only scare people in dreams. However, above undead, there are evil spirits. Evil spirits not only can haunt people in dreams but can also create illusions to haunt people. The ghost in your villa has only caused you to have hallucinations so far, without reaching the level of creating illusions. In this case, it hasn\'t surpassed the realm of an evil spirit. But even so, being able to induce hallucinations in living people, this undead, even without reaching the level of an evil spirit, is quite close. Dealing with it will be quite difficult."

While Ma Ling explained, Wang Yiming nodded continuously, and his gaze towards Ma Ling changed slightly.

Previously, he didn\'t think much of Ma Ling. One reason was that, in his eyes, exorcists were just a disorganized group of amateurs, learning a variety of things but not mastering any, incomparable to trained talisman masters like himself.

Furthermore, Ma Ling was too young, and at her age, he didn\'t believe she could possess much skill.

However, now, listening to Ma Ling\'s analysis, his perception of her had changed somewhat. Regardless of her skills, her analysis now coincided with his own, indicating she was an experienced hand in this field.

"She\'s right. Being able to induce hallucinations in you and harvest the lives of small animals with Yin Qi is indeed beyond what ordinary undead can do. Dealing with this kind of undead could be troublesome," Wang Yiming said with a serious expression.

The faces of the Wu Family members changed. Master Wu quickly asked, "Can we handle it? Do we need to find more help?"

Wang Yiming shook his head, his expression unchanged. He replied, "Not for now. Let\'s give it a try first. If it doesn\'t work out, then you can seek further assistance, Master Wu."

Though Wang Yiming appeared young, perhaps in his early twenties, he was stern and spoke with an air of authority, unlike someone of his age.

Yang Haoran listened to their conversation while eating, gaining some insight into Wang Yiming and Ma Ling. It couldn\'t be denied that both of them indeed had some abilities, and their analysis was logical and well-founded.

As a member of the Night Watch, Yang Haoran viewed the haunting of the Wu Family villa with a deeper understanding. However, he didn\'t speak randomly; he continued eating and listening quietly.

At this moment, the attention of the Wu Family was entirely focused on Wang Yiming and Ma Ling, without noticing Yang Haoran. It wasn\'t until Wang Yiming looked at him that they remembered his presence.

"Yang Haoran, what do you think about this matter?" Wang Yiming asked.

Yang Haoran put down his chopsticks gently, then smiled and replied, "Your analysis is spot-on."

With that simple statement, there was nothing more. Apart from Master Wu and Eldest son Wu, disappointment crept onto the faces of the other Wu Family members.

Regardless of their abilities, Wang Yiming and Ma Ling had managed to impress them with their words. They had hoped to hear some insightful remarks from Yang Haoran, but his response was unexpectedly casual.

Master Wu and Eldest son Wu were much more composed. Although they felt somewhat disappointed with Yang Haoran\'s response, they didn\'t show it. With their experience, they still believed that Yang Haoran was no ordinary individual. His lack of extensive comments didn\'t mean he lacked ability.

Wang Yiming frowned, dissatisfied with Yang Haoran\'s response. He suddenly stood up and said, "I need to prepare. It\'s best to handle this matter this afternoon. As the Yin Qi intensifies in the evening, the strength of the ghost will increase, making it even more troublesome to deal with."

"What do you need to prepare? I\'ll arrange for people to help," Master Wu quickly stood up and offered.

Wang Yiming waved his hand, saying, "I need to draw talismans. Outsiders won\'t be able to assist me. Just find me a quiet room."

Using talismans was the main method of Fu Sect to deal with enemies and also their strongest method. Since Wang Yiming had decided to take action against the ghost in the villa in the afternoon, it was necessary for him to draw some targeted talismans. If he encountered trouble without the appropriate talismans or had insufficient preparations, he would be at a disadvantage, a mistake he couldn\'t afford to make.

The villa was spacious, and there would surely be quiet rooms available. However, since he had to accompany Ma Ling and Yang Haoran, Master Wu didn\'t personally take Wang Yiming to find a room. Instead, he instructed Eldest son Wu to handle it.

"Master Ma, what do you need to prepare?" Master Wu asked Ma Ling, taking the initiative.

Ma Ling emptied her cup of wine in one gulp, belched, then said, "I\'m not as troublesome as that guy surnamed Wang. Just prepare a black dog, a black cat, and a rooster for me, all adults. Don\'t bring me ones that have just been weaned."

Master Wu quickly agreed and immediately arranged for the steward to prepare them as quickly as possible, without any delay.

Ma Ling needed the black cat, black dog, and rooster to deal with the ghost. As for how she would use them, neither the Wu Family nor Yang Haoran knew.

Though they were all not ordinary people, they belonged to different systems, each with its own methods, especially exorcists like Ma Ling, whose practices were varied and unpredictable.

"Young Yang, do you need to prepare anything?" Master Wu looked at Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran smiled and shook his head.

His response not only puzzled Master Wu but also earned him strange looks from Ma Ling.
