You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Boss Xu wanted to run away.

But I can't move it no matter what I do.

His legs trembled slightly, and he couldn't muster any strength.

terrible!

This... is it a zombie?

Hearing that Boss Xu's teeth were chattering, Su Chen reassured him, "Don't worry, he can't move, he can't get over here."

Mr. Xu was taken aback, and only then did he dare to examine the zombie closely.

It was struggling to move its limbs, even opening its mouth to reveal its long fangs, as if it wanted to gnaw on something. Gradually, its body bent slightly, as if it had a huge rock on its head.

Boss Xu breathed a slight sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Su Chen, and found that he had his right hand placed in front of his abdomen, with only one index finger pointing vertically and slowly rotating.

So, this is the zombie trapped by this finger?

Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Su Chen.

As expected of the most powerful master recognized in that circle in Shanghai, this Master Su is too strong.

Su Chen slowly drew away the malevolent energy from the zombie.

That inhuman, ghostly body suddenly dissolved, leaving not even bones behind. A wisp of remnant soul tried to escape, but Su Chen pulled it back.

Boss Xu watched the zombie disappear with his own eyes, and fearing that he had misjudged it, he rubbed his eyes hard before hesitantly looking at Su Chen.

"Master Su, has this evil spirit been... resolved?"

So... how many circles did you make with your finger?

Su Chen originally intended to search the remnant soul, but as soon as he made a move, the remnant soul gradually became transparent and quickly dissipated.

His brows furrowed.

Hearing Mr. Xu's question, Su Chen nodded: "But this zombie is a bit strange."

"eccentric?"

“Well,” Su Chen explained the formation principle of zombies to Boss Xu, “Logically speaking, although the soul will be eroded by evil energy, since the evil energy is removed, the remaining remnant soul should maintain its original state.”

Moreover, in order to search for the soul, he specially protected the remnant soul to prevent it from weakening under the scorching sun.

Even so, he still vanished.

Su Chen pondered for a moment: "This remnant soul... seems to have been given a mission, and if it fails, it will perish?"

Mr. Xu: "...Huh?"

He truly doesn't understand the realm of metaphysics.

"Master Su, is this... related to my construction site?"

Su Chen looked at him indifferently.

Mr. Xu chuckled dryly, "Master Su, why don't you just tell me directly?"

"Do you remember the mountain we went to before?"

Mr. Xu nodded repeatedly.

“When I was observing the energy in the city, I subconsciously determined that the place with the strongest evil energy was the construction site where your accident happened.”

Mr. Xu blinked: "Master Su, do you mean that mountain is more dangerous than my construction site?"

"It's also in the suburbs," Su Chen reminded him. "Generally speaking, there are very few places around cities with such dense evil energy. The existence of such a place means..."

Boss Xu pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what happened next, but then noticed Su Chen staring at him. He thought for a moment, then hesitated before asking, "Was it done by someone?"

Su Chen became suspicious and, after some calculations, confirmed that there was indeed a connection between the construction site and that mountain.

Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate: "There may be an evil path involved."

"An evil Taoist? You mean a master with a malicious heart?" Boss Xu nodded, then his body tensed up. "Master Su, are you suspecting that the accident at my construction site might have been deliberately caused?"

Su Chen neither nodded nor shook his head.

"Let's go check out the place where the accident first happened."

"Okay, I'll lead the way. It's inside, not far."

Mr. Xu clearly knew the construction site very well. After circling around a few times, he quickly pointed to a large pit: "Look, Master Su, it's over there."

"I had experts come and investigate before I bought this land to confirm that there were no large tombs underneath."

“Before the relocation of the graves, I came with two masters and burned incense and paid my respects at each grave.”

"I thought this would solve everything, but who could have imagined..."

Mr. Xu sighed softly. Along the way, he had carefully recalled the ins and outs of the matter and discovered some suspicious points.

“I also paid my respects at this tomb back then, and nothing ever happened. Neither of the two masters noticed anything amiss.”

Su Chen: "Those two masters are truly skilled?"

"If Master Hao says it exists, then it should exist."

Su Chen nodded.

"When you come to pay your respects, do you feel physically unwell, uncomfortable, or a bit irritable?"

Mr. Xu thought for a moment and shook his head.

Su Chen didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he went over and carefully examined the opened tomb, especially the burst coffin.

"Master Su, have you discovered anything?"

Seeing Su Chen reach out and touch the soil on the coffin, and then touch the soil around it, Boss Xu asked curiously.

"Yes, the mud on the coffin is different from the mud here."

After a moment's thought, Mr. Xu understood: "Master Su, do you mean that this coffin was dug up from somewhere else?"

"That's not right. I had three people go with the master to move the grave, but I didn't hear them mention it."

Su Chen looked at him carefully.

Mr. Xu chuckled dryly and scratched his head: "Indeed, they didn't report to me during this time, so I didn't know the specifics. Now that the person is dead, I know even less."

"That's not necessarily the case."

“…Huh?” Boss Xu was stunned.

Su Chen asked, "Do you have their birth dates and times?"

“Their family is still arguing with me right now, and they haven’t held a funeral yet, so it won’t be quick to find out. But Master Su, since they came to work for me, I should have kept their birth dates. Is that alright?”

Seeing Su Chen nod, Boss Xu quickly took out his mobile phone to call his assistant, and soon gave Su Chen the birth dates of the three of them.

Su Chen calculated the complete birth chart, his brows furrowing tightly.

Mr. Xu asked, puzzled, "Master Su, this... is difficult to calculate?"

"I originally wanted to summon their spirits back to ask them questions, but after calculating just now, I found that their spirits have all dispersed."

Mr. Xu staggered a couple of times: "Master Su, what... what do we do now?"

"I remember you saying that Master Hao was only in a coma?"

Mr. Xu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the reason I went to Shanghai to invite you this time is not only to solve the construction site problem, but also to ask you, Master Su, to take a look at Master Hao's condition."

"Where?"

"People's Hospital".

"Let's go back to the city first, then we'll go there."

Mr. Xu nodded hurriedly: "Okay."

Emerging from the Ghost Path once more, Boss Xu quickly recovered and led Su Chen to a ward in the inpatient department.

His two bodyguards were guarding the door. When they saw him, they stepped aside. Inside the ward, another assistant of Mr. Xu was taking care of Master Hao.

Seeing Boss Xu enter, she quickly stood up: "Boss, Master Hao is still not awake..."

Mr. Xu raised his hand to signal her not to speak, and then respectfully invited Su Chen to step forward.

“Master Hao is in a state of out-of-body experience.” Su Chen saw the problem at a glance. He lifted the blanket and found that Master Hao had changed into a hospital gown before asking, “Where are Master Hao’s personal belongings?”

Mr. Xu looked at his assistant, who quickly opened the cabinet next to him and took out a travel bag.

Mr. Xu eagerly snatched it, unzipped it, and took out the items one by one, handing them to Su Chen for inspection.

Clothes, trousers, briefcase, compass...

Su Chen checked each item one by one, but found nothing.

Did you guess wrong?

Let's use magic instead.

The soul's separation caused by the master's deliberate avoidance is completely unresponsive to ordinary folk methods of calling back the soul; only special soul-guiding techniques can remedy it.
