I have seen dragons

Chapter 9 Please stop talking...

"belch."

To shut them up, Qi Dian ordered an extra-large portion of fried chicken and cola, and the meal left Grandpa Huang so full that he kept burping.

As night deepened, the old man finally stepped out of the small house. "I'm leaving now. You all get back to work. Xiao Qi, there's some yellow stuff in the drawer..."

"Grandpa, hurry up and go, your electric scooter will be waiting impatiently." Yue Wen quickly pushed him, interrupting the chanting.

After seeing the old man off, Yue Wen turned back to Qi Dian and said, "Then I'll take care of the lantern monsters here. Thank you for your help, Brother Qi."

"It's nothing," Qi Dian replied, remaining aloof.

There is fog in the eastern suburbs tonight, and a thin layer of white fog hangs over the cemetery, making the atmosphere even more eerie.

Half of the cemetery had been cleared last night, so new ghostly creatures hadn't appeared so quickly. Yue Wen went straight to the other half of the area behind the hillside. At this time, will-o'-the-wisps were already emerging again.

These days, it's not easy to find any evil spirits to fight in the city. There are plenty of demons in the wastelands outside, but my current strength doesn't allow me to go out.

Therefore, Yue Wen cherished the lantern monsters he had fought so hard to obtain, leaping forward to kill them one by one with a single sword strike, without any hesitation.

The menacing lantern monster instantly turned into two smoking lumps of remains.

He roughly calculated that clearing out all the lantern monsters in the entire cemetery would allow him to collect about thirty suppression coins, which was a considerable sum of money.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, killing lantern monsters might be more worthwhile than fighting larger demons and evil spirits, since these things pose no risk, are plentiful, and can regenerate continuously.

Easy to kill without getting tired, and economical.

Yue Wen was already thinking about going back to contact the other cemeteries in the city and taking on more jobs farming lantern monsters.

Just past midnight, Yue Wen, working at full speed, was already clearing the entire cemetery.

The remaining few lantern monsters were quite far apart, so he needed to wear a demon-revealing mirror and carefully search for them by following the yin energy to ensure that not a single one was missed.

As soon as Yue Wen looked into the demon-revealing mirror, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

There was no demonic aura tonight, but he discovered that the concentration of yin energy around him was much stronger than last night, and the surrounding area was filled with a gray mist!

As soon as the gray fog moved, gusts of eerie wind blew.

This is not reasonable.

It's normal for a cemetery to have a yin energy, but this yin energy is mixed with spiritual energy and nightmares, and it will dissipate as the nightmares are cleared away. Now that Yue Wen has cleared out most of the lantern monsters, this place should be clear for a while.

But the yin energy only grew stronger, and there could only be one reason for that.

A being carrying a powerful yin energy has arrived.

"This cemetery is really lively..." Yue Wen muttered, looking around and searching for the direction with the strongest yin energy.

If he really is here specifically to collect money to exorcise evil spirits, then he must be feeling very annoyed... Working overtime every day to earn a pittance, I'm truly impressed.

But right now, Yue Wen only felt excited.

As he observed the situation, the yin energy grew stronger, and the yin wind in the cemetery began to howl. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy rippled through the darkness.

puff--

A withered, shriveled hand reached out from in front of Yue Wen!

"Hmm?" Yue Wen's expression turned serious. "A zombie resurrection? No, someone used magic to summon the buried corpses!"

With a crackling sound from the ground, corpses, some broken and some intact, emerged from the earth!

He was brought back to life!
They wailed and howled, their heads bowed, not attacking Yue Wen who was nearby, as if they were not aware of anything.

They were just walking in the same direction in a strange posture.

Yue Wen looked in that direction, hesitated for a moment, then twisted his body, mimicking the movements of the corpses. He lowered his head, twisted his arms and legs, and joined the group of corpses, muttering indistinctly, "Wai bi ba bu xi ba xi ba..."

Making such a big noise.

He wanted to see just who this person was!

……

On the west side of the cemetery, at the edge of a wooded slope, stood a dark figure.

He was a tall, thin man wearing a black tracksuit without any markings. His face was hidden in the large hood, with only a hooked nose vaguely visible.

Beside the man stood a long banner. As he made a hand seal, the banner fluttered wildly, emanating waves of yin energy. These waves of yin energy spread outwards, filling the entire cemetery and awakening the corpses that had not been sleeping for long beneath the ground.

The intricate array patterns beneath their feet spread out like a spider web. After a person dies, there will always be some residual spiritual energy. Even for an ordinary person with a weak soul, it will take about seven days for this spiritual energy to completely disappear.

The spell he was currently using was clearly a manipulation of all the fresh corpses in the graveyard that still possessed some remaining spiritual energy, turning them into puppets and allowing them to perform some simple actions.

The art of summoning corpses.

At a single command, a hundred corpses marched through the night!

In less than five minutes, the bodies that had been buried in the cemetery recently were all standing in the open space below the slope, so densely packed that just one look was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Yue Wen was also mixed in with them. Just as he had expected, his life force was completely concealed in the overwhelming wave of yin energy.

Seeing a large group of corpses lined up in formation, the man in black on the slope chuckled sinisterly, then flipped his hand and pulled out... his cell phone.

He opened the chat software, clicked record video, and while filming the corpses from left to right, he said, "Boss, look. The mission went smoothly. All the people recently buried in the East City Cemetery are here, a lot of them. Many of the corpses are mangled and bloody, so it's hard to judge from the photos. Just tell me the target's name, and I only need to call out to make him step forward."

After the video was sent, the other party replied with two words instantly.

After reading the message, the man in black turned off his phone, looked down at the horde of corpses below, and chanted in a deep voice: "The law is impermanent, the command is Yin and Yang! Whoever is called by my name, take a step forward... Zhang Wei!"

As he unleashed his supernatural power, the corpses began to shake their heads and sway, displaying an eerie restlessness. Upon hearing this name, more than ten corpses, as if receiving a command, suddenly trembled and took a step forward in unison!
Snapped.

Their synchronized steps produced a muffled thud.

"..." The man in black seemed speechless for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a voice message: "Boss, do you have any more information? There are more than a dozen people named Zhang Wei here... I can't take them all back for you, can I? Try to provide information that is related to what happened before it died, otherwise its remaining spirit may not be able to respond."

The other party sent another message just a few seconds later.

"Heh heh." The man in black chuckled sinisterly twice and commanded again, "The law is ever-changing, and the command is Yin and Yang! Whoever agrees with me, step forward... Zhang Wei, who was working overtime for free at the company just before he died!"

After a brief commotion following his shout, half of the dozen or so Zhang Weizhong who had stood up earlier took a step forward!
"..." Looking at the six or seven corpses standing in front of him, the man in black frowned deeply and muttered, "Capitalists these days really deserve to die."

He sent another voice message to the other end: "Several of them worked overtime before they died. Is there any more information? Like the deceased's obsessions or something."

A moment later, the other side sent another reply.

"This time there shouldn't be any problems, right?" The man in black raised his head and said again, "Just as I said, take that first step... Zhang Wei, a lifelong single dog who works overtime at the company all day and has never had a girlfriend!"

"Wabibabu waaaah!"

At his command, four corpses emerged, howling and crying!

The tone of his mouth, clearly distorted, was, "Please, stop talking..."

"Damn it, are you guys never going to stop?" The man in black completely lost his temper. "What kind of world is this? There's more than one person suffering like this?"

Hidden in the array, Yue Wen noticed that one of the corpses was wearing overalls and had a middle parting hairstyle. He suddenly remembered what Black Cat had said yesterday.

The employer behind this man in black is looking for the same person that the three cat demons were looking for yesterday!
Seeing that the man in black seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown, and was about to send another message to the other side, a clear shout suddenly came from afar.

"Bold and evil cultivator——"
