He had always felt there was something amiss with the two boys.
As he watched them, he was more confident in his theory!
First of all, which three-year-old knows how to take the train all by himself?
One after another, all the black crows flew toward them and landed behind the tiny boy, as though they were answering his call.
As the human trafficker looked at Baili Shangxie's back from afar, a sneer crept over the corner of his lips.
He's just a kid who knows some superficial Taoist art. Yet, he thinks that he is invincible and can play me for a fool? He is certainly digging an early grave for himself!
Without any hesitation, the human trafficker took a step forward, bit his own finger and drew a cross on the floor with his blood. Then, he slapped the Chinese talisman onto the ground.
With a crack, a faint light escaped the Chinese talisman before it levitated into the air. It seemed as though it was absorbing an invisible aura. Before long, the entire train station was overclouded.
After he completed that, the human trafficker smiled. He would like to see how these two little nuisances and the d.a.m.ned black crows escape!
“Master, I've done everything. Is there anything else?” The human trafficker was excited.
The voice on the other end of the line was rather emotionless. “Find a further place and draw another cross. Be sure to draw this cross at the most secluded spot and use it to control your formation. Then, you shall just wait. Soon, you will see the result.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on the human trafficker's face turned even more sinister. He seemed to have pictured the deaths of the two little ones in his mind.
He had seen the master when she casted this formation previously. According to her, it could take anyone's life. Now that he was able to do it himself, the pride that came with it went without saying.
All he needed to do was to wait for three minutes to break the balance of the earth via the formation. Then, the black crows would all lose their souls!
Meanwhile, the two nuisances would also be burned to ashes along with the crows!
The black crows were the first to react. After all, compared to Baili Shangxie, these black crows were just birds. They were not capable of defending themselves against the man-made formations.
Just as Baili Shangxie was leading little Qingchen up the stairs, the black crows seemed to be affected by something. Their eyes were immediately shrouded by black fog. They were about to turn into ghoulish auras.
At the centre of the square, Helian Wei Wei was initially supporting her BMW Tomahawk with one leg and was about to remove her key. All of a sudden, she paused her action and turned to look behind her back.
The Qi of Yang ought to be very strong here. However, at this instant, a strong air current swept past before it collided into the opposing currents to form a vortex of Qi of Yin. The mixture of the Qi of Yin and Qi of Yang near the train station formed a powerful yet chaotic energy, somehow upsetting everyone and causing wicked thoughts to brew within them.
Who is playing tricks here? Does he want to confound all the black crows and turn them into hasty attackers?
Helian Wei Wei's eyes turned cold at the thought of this.
The human trafficker watched as the black crows began to scramble. He snickered quietly as he thought that no one would notice him from where he stood.
Even if the two nuisances had a few skills of their own, they would still be trapped alive by him, whereas he was free to do whatever he wanted!
The human trafficker was gleefully planning to place another Chinese talisman into the tactical formation. Little did he expect that, as he bent down to fish out a Chinese talisman, a beautifully curved BMW Tomahawk sprang out from behind and trampled over his tactical formation. The engine rumbled, creating a sound that resembled a growling tiger. The person on the bike looked at him before she curled her thin lips. “So you're the one who abducted my Little Qingchen?”
The human trafficker stared at her with a pair of remorseless eyes. With his current ability, he was not even afraid of the police, let alone a lady. With the lift of a hand, he planned to draw out Helian Wei Wei's soul with the power of the tactical formation!
Following the human trafficker's gestures, black smoke in serpentine shape gathered from all directions. All the small serpents spat their tongues at Helian Wei Wei, who was still on her Tomahawk.
“Go to h.e.l.l, ignorant woman!” The human trafficker was already engrossed in the thrill of killing. His eyes flared as he laughed menacingly. He really thought it would be a piece of cake to crush Helian Wei Wei to death.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not budge in the face of the raging black serpents that were charging toward her. She remained handsome as her one foot remained firm on the ground.
The black serpents immediately fell from mid-air and dispersed into thin fog. A gust of wind swept past and left nothing behind.
Such a tactical formation was nothing but a child's play to Phoenix of Buddhism.
After all, Phoenix was an invincible Elder Buddha.
The smile on the human trafficker's face stiffened as he witnessed what just happened!
How can this happen?
Why is the tactical formation taught by the master not working?
Impossible. This can't be happening!
The human trafficker refused to believe it and attempted to cast another tactical formation!
However, the Chinese talisman seemed to be deterred by someone's aura and it did not move even an inch!
Looking at the situation, the human trafficker understood that he was doomed. His opponent must be someone who knew magic too!
But, that doesn't make sense either! He was using a blood stained Nine Turn Chinese talisman. Even though it was used under broad daylight, it should not fail so easily. How skillful is this woman?
Unless she is someone from… the Pei family.
At the thought of it, beads of cold sweat dripped from the human trafficker's forehead. Previously, when the master was casting spells, she once mentioned that if they met with anyone from the Pei family, they should never confront the members of the family. It would be best to conceal any evil intention. Otherwise, they would be defeated almost instantly.
They were the real descendants of the Exorcising Tribe. From ancient times to the present day, it had been so many years, yet they were still clearing the iniquities unseen by the commoners.
If she was really a member of the Pei Family, then he would be in great trouble!
Unless his master was present, or he would have absolutely no chance of winning!
Realising this, the human trafficker did not bother to pick up his Chinese talisman on the ground at all. His ruthless gaze fell onto an old lady who was pa.s.sing by. He pushed the old lady forward and sprinted toward the opposite direction, trying to escape!
Helian Wei Wei squinted as she took a step forward with her long legs to help the old lady. Just as she was about to give chase, her sleeves were gripped by the old lady who glared right at Helian Wei Wei, as if they were sworn enemies. “Don't think of leaving! Running away after knocking me down? How can I let you go so easily?”
A few heads in the square turned to look at them after they were alerted by the cry of the old lady.
She did not blame the old lady for the misunderstanding. She must have felt a gust of wind when she was knocked down and thought that it was Wei Wei's bike that had brushed against her.
Elders tended to have such illusions.
Generally it would be hard to clarify these situations, especially when there were no surveillance cameras around.
Pa.s.sersby did not know what exactly had happened either. But, they had begun to gather around, thinking that it would be hard for this Tomahawk rider to explain herself. A visit to the police station seemed inevitable.
If the old lady was a local and well-connected woman, then this situation would definitely be more complicated.
What happened next seemed rather predictable.
A police patrol officer at the square approached them to ask about the commotion.
Facing the old lady's accusation, Helian Wei Wei, who had been silent, made an abrupt request to the patrol officer. “I want my statement to be recorded by a voice recorder.”
The patrol officer was stunned and was not able to react in time for her eloquent speech. It was as if she understood the standard operating procedures better than the officers.
“If you don't have a voice recorder, I have one here.” Helian Wei Wei put on a faint smile as she grabbed the spectacles that were hanging on her windbreaker and bent them in half. A black recording microphone popped up. She looked at the old lady and spoke at a steady pace, “Is it true that you think I came rushingly from behind, brushed against you and caused you to fall?”
“Yes!” Hearing that the old lady was still feeling angry! In actual fact, she did not know what caused her fall. However, there was only one vehicle before her and everything happened so fast. She was sure that it was Helian Wei Wei who knocked her down!
Hearing such an unreasonable answer, even though Helian Wei Wei found it extremely absurd, her tone remained light. “Allow me to confirm with you once again. You think I came rushingly from behind, then accidentally knocked you, causing you to fall. Are you positive with your statement?”
Somehow, the patrol officer noticed that she was emphasizing the word “behind” purposefully. There was only one other place where he had heard words being enunciated in this way, and that was in the civil court.
That's right. In the civil court, lawyers will usually question the witnesses in such a manner…
“Yes! How many times do you want me to say it! I was walking on the road. If you did not push me from behind, I would not have fallen down. Don't think that I am scatterbrained just because I'm old! I know what's going on!” The old lady was still dizzy from the fall. Even now her arms were still aching a little. She only wanted Helian Wei Wei to bear the responsibility!
No one expected Helian Wei Wei to turn off the voice recorder and handed it to the police. She then pointed at her BMW Tomahawk before she pointed at the old lady in front of her. She said calmly, “The old lady said that the person who knocked her down came from behind. The head of my bike is directly facing this old lady. It's not possible to explain this with either physics or the common sense of direction. I can never hit the old lady from behind. So, may I leave now?”
The old lady, who was still rubbing her bruised arm, was instantly rendered speechless by this statement!
“Hold on. It seems like I…” The old lady ma.s.saged her temple as if she was not done with the drama yet.
Helian Wei Wei immediately b.u.t.ted in and let out a scornful laugh. “Old lady, I've asked you twice with you and you repeated the same answer twice. All the evidence is in the voice recorder. Are you trying to say that you remembered it wrongly?”
The old lady's unspoken words died in her throat and her face was flushed red.
The onlookers began to grasp the situation. They did not foresee Helian Wei Wei applying this method to prove her innocence. She was such a genius!
Generally, such situations would turn complicated because there would be many ambiguous statements once they brought the investigation to the police station. Under usual circ.u.mstances, the truth would no longer matter. As long as she seemed a little guilty, she would be punished.
In this situation, feeling upset was not helpful at all. However, Helian Wei Wei promptly found the most crucial evidence before she questioned the old lady repeatedly, exposing the flaw in the old lady's logic and bringing out the truth efficiently.
Many people had faced such situations with resentment. Now that they had seen how Helian Wei Wei solved the trouble, they felt relieved. A certain man among the crowd even shouted, “Well done!”
The patrol officers had never met such a sensible person either. They stared at Helian Wei Wei, eyes full of astound.
Knowing that she had wronged Helian Wei Wei, the old lady remained silent. However, she was too proud to admit her mistake in public. Therefore, she tried to escape the scene by grabbing her arms and crying of pain.
Helian Wei Wei did not bother to spare another glance at her. She never wasted her time on petty people.
She knew that she could not catch up with that man and decided to approach the place where the tactical formation was placed. Then, she picked up the Chinese talisman from the ground.
The Chinese talisman did not look like those that were sold at the market. She vaguely remembered having seen this talisman somewhere. However, she could not recall any particular details.
The only thing she was certain of was that this was not an ordinary Chinese talisman.
Helian Wei Wei turned around before she turned on her Bluetooth earphone. “Monkey, I have a Chinese talisman with me here. Find out its origin please.” Then, she took a high-resolution photo with her iPhone and sent it to Monkey.
Monkey finally got a call from Helian Wei Wei. He did not check the photo immediately. Instead, he asked anxiously, “Boss, did you manage to find Little Boss? He must be hungry by now. If I ever lay my hands on the culprits, I will definitely skin them!”
Helian Wei Wei was stunned. Yea, Little Qingchen…
“Pretty Wei Wei is never late. She must have been caught up by something.” With his tiny hands, Little Qingchen held onto the bowl of noodles Baili Shangxie bought him. He did not seem to be perturbed at all. He blew at the hot soup a few times with his small mouth before he took a sip of it. “It is braised beef soup. Do you want to try it?”
As soon as Baili Shangxie nodded, Little Qingchen clumsily placed the bowl of noodles beside Baili Shangxie's lips, gesturing Baili Shangxie to drink the soup.
The two kids put their heads together as they sat on the staircase at the exit and savoured the hot soup noodles. It was an adorable scene.
In the meantime, Baili Shangxie had helped Little Qingchen with his sleeves twice. When he was about to fold Little Qingchen's sleeves for the third time, Helian Wei Wei hurried over. As Helian Qingchen and Baili Shangxie's clothes had been changed, Helian Wei Wei overlooked them. When she saw the little kid who was struggling with his bowl, yet straining to feed his friend, Helian Wei Wei smiled and strode toward them…
