The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 108

“I hope my cousin’s mouth is still this tough later.” With that, Qin Xiu turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Ji Mingxiao looked at the rope in her hand, muttering incantations, and the rope automatically untied itself.

A smile spread across her face.

Suddenly, she felt invincible.

Xi Ruan was also a little surprised, then heaved a sigh of relief.

“What now? Can you make your sword or something fly back on its own?”

“Wouldn’t that expose me?” Ji Mingxiao lay on the ground, peeking through the crack in the door. There was no one outside.

Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao’s actions with a hint of speechlessness.

“A bit creepy.”

“There’s no other way,” Ji Mingxiao got up, patting the dust off her clothes.

She walked to the door, gave it a pull, and with a strong tug, pulled the door wide open.

Xi Ruan: “…”

“What kind of super-strength girl are you?”

“What do you mean, super-strength girl? I just used a little bit of technique,” Ji Mingxiao replied.

She cautiously stepped out, looking back and forth. This must be the village. Honestly, she could have left directly, but since she was already here, she needed to check things out. However, she still managed to send a message to Officer Wang and Xianyu.

As for the Qin family, she wasn’t sure who she could trust.

Officer Wang had already contacted the people in K City. Suddenly, a few lines of text appeared on the notebook in front of him.

He almost jumped again, but the words appeared quickly, calming him down.

“I’m Qin Wan. Since all my things were confiscated, I can only contact you this way.”

“The supernatural organization in K City is related to the Lingshan incident. Qin Xiu is also one of them. Be careful when contacting anyone from K City or the Qin family.”

“I’m still in Lingshan and won’t be back for a while. I’ll probably be using this method to contact you from now on.”

Officer Wang rubbed his temples. He was about to tear the paper off, but the words all disappeared again.

He sighed. Although he was supposed to believe in science, how could he possibly believe in it now?

This was a magical world.

Officer Wang didn’t have time to think about all that. What Ji Mingxiao had just said was already terrifying enough.

If even Qin Xiu wasn’t a good person, it meant Ji Mingxiao was fighting alone over there.

This girl was incredibly brave. Ai, she should come back as soon as possible.

He looked at the notebook again, and another line of text had appeared without him noticing.

“If you must contact someone, please help me contact my senior sister, Zhou Wei.”

Ji Mingxiao hadn’t wanted to say this, but she felt Xianyu might not come looking for her.

She was feeling a little down.

She had already met up with her little paper figures. The Yin energy on the paper figures could help her cover up her own aura.

As long as no one saw her, everything would be fine.

There weren’t many people in the village. The roads were basically empty.

Ji Mingxiao didn’t dare let Xi Ruan come out, as she wasn’t sure if those people could see him.

She needed to find a piece of paper. As long as she had one, even if it wasn’t special talisman paper, she could completely hide herself.

Ji Mingxiao was using techniques she had learned in the Interstellar Age.

All the houses in the village were old mud houses, looking a dreary gray.

She looked around and walked in one direction.

“How are you planning to deal with Qin Wan?”

It was Qin Xiu’s voice.

Ji Mingxiao’s eyes lit up. Her luck was really good; she had found the place directly.

“What does Young Master Qin want to do? Let’s turn her into a vessel. Qin Wan’s soul power is so strong, she’d make an excellent vessel.”

Qin Xiu’s face darkened. “No, I’d rather kill her directly. She’s a member of the Qin family, after all.”

“What, you’re reluctant now?”

Qin Xiu clenched his fists. “I won’t agree, no matter what.”

“Whether you agree or not isn’t up to you. Let’s decide with a show of hands.”

Qin Xiu slammed the table. “Don’t go too far!”

“Too far? What’s too far? Young Master Qin, since you’ve gotten on our boat, you need to follow our command. This isn’t the Qin family, and no one will listen to your pretense. Besides, are you sure that’s a member of the Qin family?”

From the back window, Ji Mingxiao curled her lips. She had thought Qin Xiu would get some benefit from betraying the Qin family, but this was all it was?

She was a little speechless.

Ji Mingxiao left the house and went to look elsewhere. She ran into a few more people on the way, but she managed to control them all.

The little paper figures were quite useful.

“What else are you looking for?” Xi Ruan asked.

“I’m just curious about what they want to do.”

Ji Mingxiao frowned. If it was for eternal life, the price of letting evil spirits possess one’s body was simply too high.

Of course, if Ji Mingxiao had stayed and listened for a little longer, she would have heard what she wanted to know.

She was about to turn back when she heard a commotion not far away.

Because the village was small, any sound would be very clear.

Ji Mingxiao narrowed her eyes, knowing that her escape had likely been discovered.

Sure enough, in the next second, many people scattered and began searching the village.

“What do we do now?” Xi Ruan asked. “We might not be able to run away.”

“Who says we can’t?” Ji Mingxiao bit her finger and quickly wrote on a wall.

She didn’t really want to leave these things on the wall, in case someone studied them.

After all, who knew if this bug could be used by everyone?

Ji Mingxiao paused on the last stroke.

“Over here!”

Someone shouted, but the talisman on the wall had already begun to glow.

Ji Mingxiao was still writing a new talisman.

By the time people had arrived one after another, Ji Mingxiao’s body had just become completely transparent, and the wall was covered in blood-red marks, making it impossible to see what was originally written there.

“How did she do that?”

“Qin Xiu?”

“I don’t know, it must be her self-created talisman,” Qin Xiu said, clenching his fists. “She came out of the illusion in the same way.”

“She can come out of an illusion directly?”

Qin Xiu nodded.

Ji Mingxiao sent herself directly to the edge of Lingshan. Now, she had seen everything she needed to see.

She looked at her finger and shook her hand.

“Does it hurt much?”

“Yeah,” Ji Mingxiao nodded. The wall was not smooth and was a bit rough to the touch. Writing on it with her cut finger was quite painful.

Xi Ruan blew on Ji Mingxiao’s finger. Ji Mingxiao was momentarily stunned as she watched her wound slowly heal.

“You have that use.”

Xi Ruan rolled his eyes in annoyance. “Of course, a Guardian Spirit is a little bit useful. Otherwise, would I just float around behind you?”

“Impressive.”

The area near Lingshan was desolate, and there was no way to get a ride.

Ji Mingxiao walked for two or three kilometers before getting into a car and asking the driver to take her to the police station.

As for why she didn’t just teleport away, it was because K City was a busy place, and if she appeared somewhere, people nearby might get into trouble.

“Little girl, why are you out here by yourself?”

“I was doing something,” Ji Mingxiao said with a smile. “My things were stolen. Thank you for giving me a ride.”

“No problem, it’s on my way. Little girl, you shouldn’t wander around this area by yourself.”

“I know. I won’t come again.” Ji Mingxiao reached into her pocket, instinctively wanting to give him a safety talisman, but then remembered her things had been confiscated.

The kind driver dropped her off and left. The nearby police station was a bit small.

After getting out of the car, Ji Mingxiao borrowed the police station’s phone to call Officer Wang. Soon, someone from the K City headquarters came to pick up Ji Mingxiao.

“Miss Qin.”

“Officer Zhao.” Ji Mingxiao subtly sized up the other person. Fortunately, judging from his aura, he was a good person and had done a lot of good deeds.

The two got into the car.

“Miss Qin, have you found anything about the Lingshan incident?”

“It’s very troublesome. The leaders are from the supernatural organization in K City,” Ji Mingxiao said.

Officer Zhao was stunned. “How is that possible?”

“I saw it myself. The person who came with me was also among them,” Ji Mingxiao curled her lips. “My good cousin. Now it’s not clear how many people can be trusted. It’s going to be very difficult. If possible, can you help me get a new phone?”

“Yes.”

The headquarters truly lived up to its name. After entering, Ji Mingxiao felt a sense of peace.

This place was clean, and ghosts and spirits dared not approach. The little things in Ji Mingxiao’s pocket were also very quiet.

Although Xi Ruan felt a little uncomfortable, he wasn’t scared.

This place always made people feel at ease.

Ji Mingxiao found a place to sit and contacted a local member of the Qin family. The person quickly sent her some clean clothes and materials for drawing talismans. It was a junior from a side branch.

After changing her clothes, she began to create talismans.

“You’re just drawing them like that?”

“Yes,” Ji Mingxiao’s speed was very fast.

“This… this actually works?” Qin Xu was shocked. She had always been a little unconvinced by the Qin family’s so-called pillar. The rumors were exaggerated.

But now that she saw this, the rumors were not exaggerated at all; they were even understated.

She thought about how it took her three hours to make one talisman, while this person made one in three seconds.

“Are you a deity?”

“How did you know?” Ji Mingxiao said casually. She had a thick stack of paper by her side. Qin Xu’s aura was pure, so she could be trusted. Thinking back, the first time she met Qin Xiu, she felt uncomfortable, which was already a hint to herself. “How much contact does the Qin family have with the supernatural organization here in K City?”

“Actually, not much. Our Qin family usually works alone and only participates in large events.”

“Okay. Please tell the clan about Qin Xiu’s betrayal first.”

“Qin Xiu?” Qin Xu exclaimed.

“If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been caught,” Ji Mingxiao curled her lips. “Do you have any group photos or anything? I asked the supernatural society here for help, and everyone who came had a problem. Heh, they probably thought I would die there, but who knew I would get out.”

“I do!”

Qin Xu immediately took out her phone, her eyes shining.

Ji Mingxiao glanced at it and circled a few people. “These people.”
