Sixth Brother's face twitched, and his sunken eyes were a tad intimidating. Ever since he became the ruler of Yun City, no one ever dared to threaten him like that!
With Helian Wei Wei's gun pointed at the wealthy merchant, he did not dare to move an inch. Instead, he roared gravelly, "Sixth Master, ask her what she wants and do as she says!"
As for the others who did not want more trouble, "Sixth Master, everyone is here to talk business. Don't let this get out of hand, we should find a way to resolve this disagreement. After all, we are on a train."
"Gentlemen, don't you have confidence in how I handle things?" Sixth Brother glanced in their direction, as he stretched out his hand and raised a remote control. He said, "Little missy, do you know what this is? A bomb detonator. The child who came along with you should be in another train carriage, right? Apart from this restaurant carriage, the remaining others would blow up. I can choose who to kill and which carriage to blow up first, their fate is in my control. Of course, the life and death of those filthy farmers and workers have nothing to do with you, but what about those two children of yours? Hehe, I've always been a liberal person in handling matters. Put your gun down first and I'd probably consider letting the children live. Little missy, now it's two of us against an entire carriage of pa.s.sengers. Go ahead and pull the trigger, let's see who ends up with the greater loss."
Helian Wei Wei did not respond.
Sixth Brother's face revealed a sinister smile as he continued, "You guys think that you can challenge me? Can't you see who's in charge in Yun City? People, seize their guns!"
"I will shoot anyone that dares to come at me!" Compared to Sixth Brother's boastful authority, Helian Wei Wei's tone was extremely convincing and instantly intimidated others from taking a step forward.
Sixth Brother snickered, "Very well then, looks like you want to see those two little devils blown to pieces!"
"Who's going to be blown to pieces?" A gentle chill voice beckoned from behind the group of adults. Little Qingchen's pet.i.te face remained indifferent as he stumbled forward in his little footsteps.
Baili Shang Xie looked like a little mafia leader from Italy, his blood-red pupils enhanced the dangerous aura across his face.
Helian Qingchen raised a ball of wires in his hand and said, "If you are talking about these toys, I've already dismantled all of them." After he was done talking, he lowered his head and muttered, "Come up with an intricate bomb next time. A bomb like that would be child's play to a three-year-old."
At the snap of a finger, Sixth Brother's entire face turned murky green.
He curled his left hand into a tight fist, as he was greatly irked by the child's manner of speaking.
Such a casual remark made it seem like he was no match for a three-year-old.
What he found most unacceptable and unbelievable, was that his planted bombs were scavenged and disarmed by the little devil within a short period.
Even the police could not do it so quickly, unless they were from the Special Forces.
Sixth Brother did not believe a word, as he pressed the detonator in his hand!
Yet!
There was no sign of any explosion!
Not even an echo!
Then, he pressed the second, the third, the fourth detonator…
None of them responded!
Sixth Brother's lips turned ashen pale. After all these years, his contingency plan was ruined by these two little devils.
The wealthy merchant could sense that something was amiss, as they looked at each other in dismay and tried to retreat.
Sixth Brother chuckled out of the blue, announcing, "This is even better. Since all of you are here, there is no need to depend on bombs to resolve this matter. Devils or exorcists, hehehe, even if you guys were malicious spirits creeping from the pits of h.e.l.l, I have my ways of summoning others to annihilate you till your souls sputter into dust!"
Countless pieces of Chinese talismans surged from the deepest corners of the restaurant carriage at the fall of his voice. Those Chinese talismans seemed to be attached accordingly at north, south, east and west, trapping Helian Wei Wei and the boys right in the center!
Then, a thumb-sized puppet arose from the thick black fog. The puppet rested on the floor, with its head twisting back and forth, as if a form of spirit was manifesting from within.
A slender silhouette draped in kasaya emerged from the depths of the carriage. She had an apathetic complexion, and her eyes were set on Helian Wei Wei. Then, she glanced at Baili Shang Xie, and finally at Helian Qingchen. All of a sudden, both eyes glistened, as she extended her arm as if seeking to touch Little Qingchen's cheeks. "Too long, it's been too long since I've met a talented child. Little one, follow me, why don't you be my son? Whatever you wish for, I can grant them for you."
Bang!
Helian Wei Wei was never up for any negotiation, whenever someone tried to steal her son away from her. The ends of her lips curled into a smirk, as she fired a shot at the woman!
Ninth Ghost Mother froze. After dodging the bullet, she looked straight at Helian Wei Wei, her eyes overwhelmed with annoyance and evil darkness that would send chills down anyone's back.
Yet, all of these meant nothing to Helian Wei Wei. Her smirk was not affected by the undulating environment as she remarked, "Ninth Ghost Mother, stealing people's children is your thing. Looks like the rumors are true. So many years have pa.s.sed and you haven't changed at all."
"Since you know who I am, shouldn't you run away?" Ninth Ghost Mother snickered. "I don't feel like killing anyone from the Pei family. However, if you stand in my way, I will let the pa.s.sengers regret landing their foot on this train immediately."
Helian Wei Wei's smirk grew wider as she said, "Who told you that I'm a member of the Pei family?"
"Since you aren't part of the Pei family, that makes the job easier." For Ninth Ghost Mother, only the exorcists from the Pei family were worthy to be mentioned. Others were merely a bunch of imbecilic commoners. How could one commoner battle against a G.o.d? Without wasting any time, Ninth Ghost Mother jeered and p.r.i.c.ked the tip of her index finger, as her blood trickled onto the puppet's head.
A gloomy wind arose from the puppet's core at once, whirling away in the front as if an essence was a.s.sembling into some sort of tactical formation.
Helian Wei Wei frowned. She had heard about black magic involving some crafty practices and spells.
They would carve a puppet and use will-o'-the-wisp to draw out the child's soul, binding the soul to the puppet and keeping it for later use.
A live spirit could only make use of a feeble and sick child's soul. It would be ideal for the child to be tormented when he was alive, so he would die in pain. This was the only way to create a powerful tactical formation to influence the children that were still living on earth.
Very faintly, a baby's giggle echoed from all directions.
The laughter seemed to be coming from the corners, but it also seemed to be from the puppet itself. It was inexplicably eerie!
