Chapter 131: Guarding Against Evil - Reeds
After watching it once, Zong Peng stopped the video on He Qiang's face.

“Has this person been checked?”

Bai Hongtao nodded.

"I checked and found out that he was the poster of the post [Don't Fish at Night], one of the ten posts selected by Yun Longtian."

"This post has been re-edited over 10 times by the same account, with the last one being last night."

"I asked the technicians to locate it, but they couldn't find the other party's position. Now it seems that they must have been affected by the other party. Those who can affect the signal... can't do it below the fierce evil."

Zong Peng nodded, pointed at the video and asked, "Have you figured out the location of the contents in this dashcam?"

"According to the information provided by the driver, we have determined the location and have let Jin pass. We should have the result tomorrow morning."

After Bai Hongtao finished speaking, he saw Zong Peng enlarge the video and point at the rope on He Qiang and asked.

"That thing tied to his body... is it reed?"

"According to Yun Longtian's description in the post, this should be it."

Bai Hongtao finished speaking, his face full of surprise.

"How on earth did he do it?"

Zong Peng was silent.

Bai Hongtao wanted to know the answer to this question, he also wanted to know.

Why can something become true just by leaving a comment in the comment section?
Zong Peng had come across many bizarre things in the General Administration, but this was the first time he had seen it.

The most important thing is that after Yun Longtian posted the message, Zong Peng asked people to make all the folk items described by Yun Longtian.

But none of the ten things are effective against ghosts.

But why does it work now?

Did they make it wrong, or are there some special conditions involved?

Zong Peng didn't know, so he needed the reed in the video to determine whether it was special.

However, the matter will not be concluded until tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Zong Peng clicked on the surveillance footage of Chen Xin and began to check it bit by bit.

Bai Hongtao left after watching for a while, but Zong Peng stayed there until dawn.

All of Chen Xin’s movements and internet records were under his surveillance.

In addition, Chen Xin’s account has been blocked from replying to "天残地缺", so Chen Xin has no idea about the existence of Weijiao.

For an incident in which Chen Xin was not involved, Zong Peng could no longer list Chen Xin as a suspect.

"Is all this really a coincidence?"

Even though Zong Peng didn't believe in "coincidence", he couldn't help but believe it now.

Even because of this action, even if he found some evidence about Chen Xin later, he could not act rashly unless the evidence was clear and conclusive.

This action is equivalent to providing Chen Xin with a layer of insurance.

Shaking his head, Zong Peng turned off the surveillance video of Chen Xin.

At the same time, he also ordered those who were monitoring Chen Xin to retreat. As for the cameras in Chen Xin's room, they would be removed at the appropriate time to prevent any further complications.

And he also has to focus his attention on Yun Longtian.

……

Chen Xin didn't know that the surveillance on him had been cancelled.

After getting up in the morning, he continued to do the second version of the physical exercise as usual, and his progress was about 75% of the second version.

However, secretly, he would spend 1 point of Yin De every day these days to upgrade the fourth version of the physical exercise.

The progress has now reached 42%, and it is only a matter of time before the fifth edition is released.

But this is just one of the changes that Chen Xin has undergone in recent days.

In the past few days, his Yin De points dropped rapidly, directly from 466 to 354 points.

There were even 10 points from the polling bureau, but it was still not enough to cover the expenses.

The biggest one among them is the unlocking of the eighth page, which directly deducts 70 points of Yin De.

But this is necessary. If it is not unlocked, Chen Xin cannot implement his plan.

Another consumption besides this is also related to the talisman on page 8.

Chen Xin knew that his room was most likely under surveillance, so he didn't do anything in his room.

He put the yellow baby into the room that belonged to him in his uncle's house.

That was the safest place he could think of.

Because my uncle doesn’t come home often, and even if he does, he won’t enter his room.

In addition, Zong Peng had only tested him before and had not taken any open action. Chen Xin felt that even if the Public Opinion Bureau had some suspicions about him, they would not target Wang Xingping.

Even if there were cameras installed in Wang Xingping's room and he saw Huang Ying, so what?
Who can prove that Huang Ying and Chen Xin or Wang Xingping and Huang Ying have any relationship?

Except for Chen Xin, no one else has ever seen the yellow baby wrapped in the placenta.

However, to be on the safe side, Chen Xin did not let Huang Ying do anything out of line after releasing him. He just stayed there quietly... pretending to be a ghost.

Because the placenta is a Yin Shuai-level talisman, the amount of Yin De added is no longer 1 point per hour, but 1 points per hour!
Fortunately, the Yin De points required for manipulation are still 1 point, otherwise Chen Xin would have consumed more Yin De points.

During the first launch, Chen Xin did nothing.

If there were cameras in the room, someone from the polling bureau would surely come knocking on the door soon.

So the next day, Chen Xin sent Huang Ying over again, and this time Chen Xin was secretly on guard.

But nothing happened.

After that, Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to search the room for half an hour, checking every inch of the room. After confirming that there were no cameras, he began his own operations.

The biggest difference between Huang Ying and Ji Ge is not their strength, but that Huang Ying has hands while Ji Ge only has claws.

Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to open the window and climb down the wall. After searching five households, Chen Xin finally got the phone from one household and successfully unlocked it with the other party's face. Huang Ying then climbed directly to the roof with the phone and used it to open the "Night Talk Folk Customs Forum" to view posts as a non-logged-in visitor.

In this way, even if the polling bureau locates the phone, it will not notice anything unusual.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Chen Xin asked Huang Ying to block the camera of his mobile phone while using it.

Originally, Chen Xin did this just to avoid being suspected after the post corresponding to the talisman took effect.

But what he didn't expect was that his action directly led him to discover something that shocked him.

The comment "天残地缺" was not even visible on his own account!

To verify this, Chen Xin opened the forum at school and checked the same post.

The comment "天残地缺" from Huang Ying's perspective on the 58th floor does not exist on his computer at all!
The only one who can do this, and needs to do so, is the Poll Bureau!

Chen Xin thought about it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion that was close to the truth.

The polling bureau is using this method of elimination!
If he hadn't discovered this, he might have been in real trouble.

However, after discovering this, the incident itself turned from a bad thing into a good thing.

If the polls have ruled him out, but the stunt continues to appear, what does that mean?
In this case, how could Zong Peng cause trouble for him again?

After figuring it out, Chen Xin began to check and memorize Yun Longtian's replies to the posts one by one.

After memorizing it, Chen Xin did not compile it immediately, but waited until the next morning.

Chen Xin got up early in the morning and pretended to review his homework. He selected three of the ten posts and wrote the talismans described in them on the eighth page one by one.

These three posts were selected by Chen Xin, and the items described in them are all close to auxiliary types.

Only if it is unsuccessful will Chen Xin consider other posts.

Fortunately, the second post was compiled successfully, allowing Chen Xin to obtain the eighth talisman.

"Defending against evil: Reed and water chestnut"

Purpose: Bind spirits, suppress evil

Current power: Yincha level
Current number of existing ones: 0
Town Description:

There is a rumor in ancient times that there was a god who fed a tiger on the Yin-Yang passage.

If there is an evil ghost causing trouble, the gods will either use a rope to whip the ghost, or use a rope to tie the ghost up and feed it to a tiger, thus frightening all directions.

The ancients revered it, so they imitated the rope in the hands of the gods and made reeds to ward off evil spirits.

Its preparation method is:

Take reed stems and cross them to weave them into thin ropes. Then take the blood of a live raccoon and infect the ropes for one hour.

When the thin rope turns dark red and tough, and makes a crisp sound when thrown in the air after being wetted with water, it is ready.

……

After the reed was made, Chen Xin wanted to give it a try, but unfortunately the conditions did not support it.

After that, the reed was triggered, and Chen Xin saw the situation of the reed through retrospection.

Then he saw a scene that surprised him, because the reed actually tied up the person who made it!
At first, Chen Xin couldn't figure out what was going on, but out of trust in the talisman, Chen Xin became suspicious of the man.

Sure enough, the situation changed afterwards.

That person turned into a hairy ghost.

Not only that, Chen Xin also saw the evil mist emanating from the long-haired ghost.

If Wei Jiao hadn't been there, the evil fog might have spread away.

Just when Chen Xin thought that the Yincha-level reeds could bind the evil spirit, after a while, the reeds were torn apart.

Chen Xin then realized that it was not because Weijiao was strong enough, but because the ghost's home turf was in the water.

Chen Xin did not feel sorry when the reed was torn into pieces.

Because its first priority is not to kill ghosts, but to let the people in the Public Opinion Bureau discover its existence.

Chen Xin has done everything he should do. Next, it is the Poll Bureau’s own business.

As for what the Poll Bureau’s reaction would be, Chen Xin didn’t know.

Of course, Chen Xin did not relax because of this.

Zong Peng's appearance left a deep impression on Chen Xin.

The Poll Bureau is indeed doing good things for the entire country, but it would be wrong to assume that all the commissioners in the Poll Bureau are good people.

There is no absolute goodness in this world, only relative selfishness.

All the front-line specialists of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau are good husbands, good fathers, good sons, and good relatives in front of their families.

But if their family members encounter supernatural events, the first thing they worry about is definitely not how harmful the supernatural event is, nor whether they should solve the supernatural event first.

Their first concern is always whether the other specialists are protecting their families.

Are they selfish or kind?
Different positions will lead to different evaluations.

Therefore, Chen Xin will not have a good impression of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau just because Wang Xingping works there.

Likewise, he would not hate the entire polling bureau because of Zongpeng.

There is only one thing he needs to do, which is to take his own destiny into his own hands, instead of proactively reporting his abilities to the "Town Object Encyclopedia" and expecting the Public Opinion Bureau to treat him well.

"My fate is in my own hands."

Although this sentence is a bit childish, it is the one that best reflects Chen Xin's current mood.

Before gaining the power to control his own destiny, Chen Xin must first ensure that his existence is not known to anyone who can threaten him.

So, he needs help.

And the method of finding helpers would not be so normal.
