Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Heavenly Master 23

No one knew or cared what Duan Chengming was thinking, but over there, Wang Wei and Wang Jianyong were scared to the point of turning pale and trembling in their hearts by Situ Shuangshuang’s words! Just thinking of a ghost waiting for them for so many years, who wouldn’t be afraid!

Wang Wei cautiously walked around the white bones to Situ Shuangshuang and asked, ”Master, you said the ghost we’ve provoked recently isn’t the old lady ghost I encountered before, but... but the owner of these bones?”

As he spoke, Wang Wei swallowed his saliva in fear, the hair at the back of his neck standing up! If this were true, it would be too terrifying!

Situ Shuangshuang nodded, ”I’m just guessing right now, whether it’s true or not, let’s ask the ghost involved!”

After speaking, Situ Shuangshuang threw a Yin Talisman into the air, which instantly burned, and then a black barrier appeared out of nowhere above everyone’s heads! The sunlight was instantly blocked out!

It was clearly broad daylight, yet everyone felt as if they were in the dark of night, but strangely, their vision was completely unaffected, and they could see clearly as if it were daytime.

This talisman is specifically used to block yang energy, essentially to make the ghost more comfortable after appearing. While yang energy can’t kill ghosts, it can indeed make them uncomfortable, similar to the human feeling of not sleeping for a long time.

After setting the barrier, Situ Shuangshuang summoned the owner of the bones using a Yin Talisman! The talisman burned, and soon after, the owner of the bones responded to the call.

In Situ Shuangshuang’s eyes, she saw a small black vortex appear above the bones with the Yin Talisman, and then a dark ghost climbed out from the vortex and stood above the bones out of nowhere!

Wang Wei, Wang Jianyong, and Duan Chengming couldn’t see the ghost, but they could feel the surrounding air suddenly drop by seven or eight degrees! The previously hot air turned cold, making them shiver involuntarily!

Duan Chengming could feel that this sudden chill wasn’t the kind of comfortable coolness from an air-conditioned room but a penetrating cold that drilled into his bones!

This chill inexplicably made his heart feel cold, and he shivered continuously. Duan Chengming felt that this kind of cold was really too strange! He couldn’t help but rub his arms hard, hoping to warm up a bit.

Wang Wei and Wang Jianyong were okay. Although they felt cold, it wasn’t too unbearable. However, Duan Chengming felt particularly cold, and no matter how he rubbed his hands and arms, it didn’t help. This chill seemed to be growing in his body, in his bones, and no amount of rubbing seemed to warm him up!

Even jumping up and down on the spot for warmth didn’t help Duan Chengming. Instead, he felt even colder, as if the chill was activated and spread into his bloodstream, making even his blood feel cold. The most scientific method of warming up through exercise was useless!

Duan Chengming’s nose and ears quickly turned red from the cold, and even his little finger seemed to lose its flexibility. He couldn’t help but look around for something that was cooling the air. Outside, nothing could drop the temperature that much except a large-scale air-conditioning unit!

But after scanning the area, Duan Chengming found that this backyard was indeed very simple, and there was no cooling equipment in sight!

Duan Chengming felt a surge of anger, thinking that the little trickster was going too far, doing something this excessive just to deceive people! What if someone got frozen into illness by the cold?! He had to find the cooling unit and immediately expose this scam and report her to the police!

Since there was nothing inside the courtyard, it had to be outside. Duan Chengming often exercised, so he was in good shape, and the wall of Wang Wei’s courtyard wasn’t high. With a couple of jumps, he easily leaped onto the wall and flipped to the outside.

Once outside the courtyard wall, the world was full of bright sunshine, completely different from the darkness within the backyard barrier. Duan Chengming ignored investigating this and anxiously searched for something cooling.

But strangely, as soon as Duan Chengming flipped out of the yard, he immediately felt a heatwave hit him, and the chill in his bones melted away like snow meeting the sun. Duan Chengming hadn’t stayed outside very long before starting to break out in a sweat!

After going around, there were hardly any people, let alone large cooling units. Moreover, if there truly was a large cooling unit outside, it wouldn’t make sense for only the small courtyard inside the wall to be freezing, while it was sweltering just outside the courtyard! That’s not logical!

Enduring the strange fear in his heart, Duan Chengming muttered to himself that there are no ghosts and gods in this world; everything adheres to science as the highest standard. Then he made his way back through the front gate of the courtyard.

The front yard was still very hot, making people sweat. The house was even hotter, as Wang Wei hadn’t had time to turn on the air conditioning before going with Situ Shuangshuang to the backyard, making the house stiflingly hot.

Duan Chengming gripped the doorknob, took a couple of deep breaths, and then pushed open the door to the backyard. The backyard was just as before, entirely shrouded in a black barrier, distinctly separate from the bright world outside.

That’s not logical! Duan Chengming thought, swallowing nervously, then cautiously stepped into the small courtyard covered by the black barrier. The feeling was the same as before, dark but with vision as clear as daylight!

What troubled Duan Chengming the most was that bone-chilling cold returned in full force, making him shiver violently! He didn’t dare to jump up and down for warmth this time, fearing that, like last time, it would chill his blood!

Wang Wei and Wang Jianyong were both looking at Duan Chengming with bewilderment. They had just seen him jumping around and climbing the wall, and now having come in from the front yard, he looked like he had stepped into a world of ice and snow, shivering as if he might freeze to death.

While it was indeed a bit cool here, it wasn’t cold enough to be like that. Shivering like he was about to freeze to death seemed too exaggerated! Wang Wei and Wang Jianyong took note of the cooling feeling on their own bodies; it was a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearably cold!

Situ Shuangshuang looked at Duan Chengming, who was so cold he could barely stand, and felt smug satisfaction, inwardly laughing with hands on hips, thinking he deserved it! Serves him right for always looking at me with those annoying eyes!

Though Duan Chengming hadn’t spoken, his subtle disdain and the look of viewing her as a fraud hadn’t escaped Situ Shuangshuang’s notice. As someone who is petty and ill-tempered, she wouldn’t let it slide without some kind of payback!

It was just an Illusion Talisman, so the sensation of cold that Duan Chengming felt, the colder he got with more movement as if even his blood was freezing, was all an illusion. This talisman wouldn’t cause any harm to the body, but the feeling of freezing could be utterly real, perfect for giving Duan Chengming a hard time without causing real trouble, serving as an ideal outlet for her frustration!
