The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 7 Advance
With a "bang", the doll in the small coffin exploded into a pool of powder.

Magusu, who was casting a spell, screamed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards to the ground weakly.

It seemed as if countless ants were biting his internal organs viciously, and Magusu felt pain that could not be described in words.

In an instant, he went from being extremely ferocious to being on the verge of death.

Forcefully taking a deep breath to prevent himself from fainting, Magusu dragged his body little by little to a jar the size of a human head against the wall.

Pulling the jar open tremblingly, Magusu used his last bit of strength to grab a handful of the wriggling maggots inside the jar and stuffed them into his mouth.

After eating the maggots, his expression recovered a little.

Magusu took a breath and felt like he was back to the world.

He picked up a bunch of maggots, stuffed them roughly into his mouth, and swallowed them quickly.

Magusu's eyes gradually regained their spirit, filled with surprise and doubt.

Did someone break his ghost?

Was it directed specifically at him?
As a sorcerer, he had killed countless people with his sorcery. If he had not been so cautious and suspicious, he would have been killed without a burial place.

……

Huang Jinshen ignored the pain in his body, found the rope again, and quickly tied the woman up tightly.

Seeing that the woman didn't react at all, the few of them relaxed.

Huang Jinshen rubbed his waist, glanced at the palm leaf whip on the ground and the magic weapon stuck in the woman's shoulder, and said with fear: "This black magic... has the ghost boy been broken?"

"This kid is too fierce." Songchai, who was limping, also had a look of fear on his face.

Li Zhen pulled out the magic weapon that was stabbed in the woman's shoulder, and a few streams of blood slowly flowed out, but the amount was not much.

The magic weapon did not penetrate deeply.

Huang Jinshen briefly examined the woman's wounds and frowned, saying, "We must send her to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise she might die here. Then we'll be in big trouble."

Li Zhen, looking tired, sat down on the ground. "We can't send her to a big hospital. We can find a small clinic to bandage her wound and stop the bleeding first. If this gets out of hand, we'll be in big trouble too."

Songchai immediately said, "I have a friend who runs a clinic and I can send the baby there."

Huang Jinshen immediately said, "We can't delay any longer. Let's send her to the clinic first."

"I'll go drive." Songchai turned and walked out the door.

What these people were doing was shameful, so the house they found was relatively remote. The car was parked in a parking lot one kilometer away, and it took a few minutes to walk there.

Glancing at the messy house, Huang Jinshen said, "That Ma Gusu must have known that someone was looking for trouble with him."

Li Zhen said, "We have to move things up. If we follow the original plan and let him make arrangements until tomorrow noon, and we finally run into him head-on..."

Thinking of the sorcerer's methods, Huang Jinshen's face became a little heavy.

"How far in advance?"

"As fast as possible."

"It's still dark, which is very disadvantageous for us."

"If the black magic is broken, Magusu won't feel good either. The disadvantages on both sides have been offset. Are you willing to wait until he has arranged a sinister plan to deal with us, or even recruited helpers, before going to him?"

"I don't know how badly he's hurt."

"The best option is to find him as soon as possible and kill him when he is not prepared or when he has no time to prepare."

"Now that he's injured, will he just hide?"

"He didn't have time to rearrange the altar. He felt safe only when he hid in his lair."

"This method just now killed people invisibly, which was very strange."

"The terrifying thing about a sorcerer is that he can kill people behind the scenes. Once we meet him in person, he's just a living person. We have Master Wenma to resist us head-on. We haven't exposed any personal information, so the methods he can use are very limited."

"Magusu's black magic doesn't seem to have any secrets for you."

"If you want to deal with a sorcerer, how can you not understand sorcery?" Li Zhen wanted to get up, but suddenly his body tilted and he almost fell to the ground.

Huang Jinshen supported the fallen Li Zhen.

Seeing Li Zhen's grim expression and trembling lips, he was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm...sick." Li Zhen pressed his abdomen and forced a smile. "I can see it."

"It's not an ordinary disease, it's a terminal illness."

"Terminally ill?"

"Officer Huang, I won't live long. If I can't kill a sorcerer before I die, I won't be able to face my friends down there."

Huang Jinshen saw bitterness and deep helplessness in Li Zhen's eyes, an expression he had only seen in people who were truly terminally ill.

Li Zhen should not have lied to him.

From this perspective, Huang Jinshen understood why Li Zhen was always so anxious.

If he fails to kill a sorcerer now, given Li Zhen's physical condition, he will probably never have the chance to kill a sorcerer in the future.

As for whether this Magusu is the same person as the sorcerer that Li Zhen hates, Li Zhen probably no longer cares.

After thinking about Li Zhen's motives, Huang Jinshen felt that he finally understood Li Zhen's motives.

After taking a breath, Li Zhen slowly reached out and grabbed the whip on the ground.

The whip was still wet and looked no different than before.

But Li Zhen clearly saw that at the last moment, the whip pierced into the woman's facial features, and when it fell, it seemed to cast a vague shadow.

"Is this whip you use to break a spell specifically designed to deal with sorcerers?"

"I got it from a psychic. She told me it works, but I don't know if it really works. I only found out today..."

Li Zhen's voice stopped abruptly, and his right hand, which had touched the whip, froze in the air.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh it's all right."

Li Zhen took back the whip as if nothing had happened, put it in front of his eyes and observed it. The fragmented images that flashed through his mind became clear again.

It's not an illusion...

Without rest, the three men first sent the woman to a clinic in a remote place.

After Songchai found an acquaintance to monitor the woman, he drove to Tuntalli at night.

The temple where Master Wendamo is located is a place of meditation and there is no telephone, so contacting there becomes a hassle, so Songchai had to go to Thontari in person.

After notifying Master Wenda Mamo of the incident, he will call us to inform us.

Li Zhen and Huang Jinshen only need to wait in the agreed public telephone booth.

It is now 1:30 in the morning. There are few people on the street and no one is using the public phone.

Detective Li and Huang Jinshen sat on a step not far from the public telephone booth to rest.

Huang Jinshen smoked one cigarette after another.

For both Huang Jinshen and Li Zhen, what happened in a short period of time broke the three views cultivated in a long period of normal life.

Both of them were in mixed moods and had little interest in talking.

Just after three o'clock, the two received a call from Songchai.

This was half an hour earlier than expected.

Songchai said that Master Wendamo knew about the changes here and decided to start at 3:40

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhen and his companion went to the clinic to retrieve the equipment they had purchased during the day.

The woman has woken up. Although her life is not in danger, she is very depressed.

Li Zhen and his companion once again confirmed Magusu's residence with the woman.

The frail woman nodded and said that was where Magusu’s altar was.

At this point, the woman no longer had any reason to hide Magusu's whereabouts.

It took about thirty minutes, and at 3:30 in the morning, Songchai's friends finally sent Li Zhen and the others to a suitable location near Magusu's lair.
