Chapter 104 The Lingering Butler
Wang Jiajia was so scared that she hugged Chen Yile's arm tightly, shaking all over.
Her breathing was rapid, her face was pale, and she almost lost the ability to speak.
Chen Yile sensed her fear and a surge of anger rose in his heart. He knew this situation had to end as soon as possible.
"Enough!" Chen Yile growled, his voice sounding particularly firm in the darkness.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a deep light suddenly flashed in his pupils.
That's his psychic eye!
The moment he opened his eyes, the eerie atmosphere that had filled the room instantly dissipated, and all the evil illusions seemed to have vanished as if they had been expelled.
The light in the room gradually returned to normal, and the oppressive atmosphere seemed to gradually weaken as the evil spirit disappeared.
Wang Jiajia looked around in surprise, unable to believe the changes before her eyes. "Brother Chen, is this the solution?"
Her voice still trembled slightly, but she had regained some composure.
"Yeah." Chen Yile responded lightly, but his brows were still furrowed.
"They're probably afraid of my ability."
Wang Jiajia looked at him curiously, eyes full of confusion: "What ability?"
Chen Yile smiled slightly, without further explanation, and said softly, "You'll know later. Let's go find Li Yizhi first."
The two quickly left the strange room, and the corridor was still filled with an eerie silence.
Chen Yile and Wang Jiajia searched everywhere in the villa for Li Yizhi.
But strangely, the entire villa seemed empty.
It was as if everyone except them had disappeared.
They stopped by a window on the third floor. Through the window, Chen Yile saw a figure digging a hole in the backyard.
The man's back looked particularly familiar; it was Li Yizhi they were looking for.
"It's Li Yizhi." Chen Yile said in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"What is he digging for?"
He shouted out the window, "Li Yizhi!"
When Li Yizhi heard the sound, he slowly looked back with an indifferent expression and did not respond. Then he continued to dig the hole with his head down.
"What's going on?" Wang Jiajia asked quietly, feeling increasingly uneasy. "He doesn't look right."
Chen Yile pondered for a moment, then pulled Wang Jiajia and ran downstairs. "Let's go down and check the situation first."
He said firmly, "No matter what, we have to find out the truth."
Wang Jiajia followed him, her heart full of doubts: "Brother Chen, I don't think Li Yizhi and the housekeeper are good people, not even human. Do we really need to look for them again?"
Chen Yile nodded, his eyes determined: "Since I have received the money, the matter must be resolved."
He knew that this was not just for money, but also to protect innocent people from being harmed by evil spirits.
The two men soon arrived at the backyard, and when they approached Li Yizhi, they found that the person he was digging a hole to bury was the housekeeper.
The butler's body was in a mess, covered in blood, and his eyes were staring at the sky, looking particularly terrifying.
Wang Jiajia exclaimed: "Why is the housekeeper here again?"
She was completely unable to comprehend the scene before her.
Li Yizhi raised his head and was about to explain when suddenly, the butler's body moved violently.
He raised his stiff arm suddenly, grabbed Li Yizhi's neck, and dragged him to the bottom of the pit.
"Ah!" Wang Jiajia covered her mouth in fear, her voice stuck in her throat.
Seeing this, Chen Yile jumped into the pit without hesitation, took out the demon-subduing pestle, and smashed it hard on the butler's arm.
The power of the butler's corpse was extremely strong, and when the demon-subduing pestle smashed down, it made a metallic collision sound.
The butler's arm did not break, but instead used the force to drag Li Yizhi deeper.
Chen Yile took a deep breath, quickly took out a few yellow talismans, muttered something, and slapped the talismans on the butler's forehead.
The talisman suddenly ignited with golden light, and the butler let out a shrill howl, and the strength in his hands seemed to relax slightly.
"Wang Jiajia, quickly pull him out!" Chen Yile shouted loudly.
At the same time, he once again mobilized all his spiritual power, increased the power of the demon-subduing pestle to the limit, and struck the butler's chest fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiajia immediately stepped forward, grabbed Li Yizhi's hand, and pulled him out with all her strength.
However, the butler was so strong that even with the suppression of the talisman, he still held Li Yizhi tightly.
It seemed that Li Yizhi was about to be completely dragged into the bottom of the pit!
Chen Yile became anxious and quickly bit his finger on his left hand, using his blood to draw a complicated spell on the demon-subduing pestle.
As the spell was completed, the golden light on the demon-subduing pestle suddenly exploded, turning into a dazzling beam of light that pierced straight through the butler's chest.
The butler's movements suddenly stopped, and he let out a low roar, as if he was experiencing great pain.
His body began to tremble violently, and his originally stiff face gradually twisted, revealing an extremely hideous look.
Chen Yile gritted his teeth, gripped the demon-subduing pestle tightly with both hands, and pressed it down with all his strength.
The power of the talisman surged in his body, and spiritual energy was continuously injected into the butler's body through the demon-subduing pestle.
The butler was finally unable to withstand this powerful force and let out a shrill scream.
The whole body actually began to melt slowly, as if it was burned by a scorching flame.
Then it turned into a pool of black liquid and disappeared at the bottom of the pit.
At this time, Li Yizhi finally broke free from the housekeeper's control and was pulled out of the pit by Wang Jiajia and Chen Yile.
He was pale, covered in blood, and looked extremely miserable.
Chen Yile retracted the demon-subduing pestle, took a deep breath, and felt that all the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.
Although he won the battle, he also paid a huge price.
"Are you okay?" Wang Jiajia asked worriedly, reaching out to wipe the sweat from Chen Yile's forehead.
Chen Yile forced a smile and shook his head: "It's okay, just a little tired."
Li Yizhi was also breathing heavily. He stood up with the help of Wang Jiajia's hand, looking at the bottom of the pit which had returned to calm with complicated eyes.
"Then...how did the housekeeper come back to life?" Wang Jiajia still couldn't understand what had just happened.
Li Yizhi pursed his lips, as if thinking about how to explain all this.
But in the end, he just sighed and said, "This place... has its own rules, which you can't understand."
"You have to explain clearly!" I told him. "Even though I'm being paid, how can I continue if you don't explain clearly?"
"This shabby place scared us right after we got here!"
Li Yizhi sighed, then led Chen Yile and the others into the house, but he got up and went to the room himself. A few minutes later, he came back with a box with a courier label on it.
He also had a bank card in his hand. He put the box on the table and pushed the bank card in front of Chen Yile.
"Here is one million as a thank you for helping me clear out the villa." Li Yizhi said.
