Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Seeing Qi Chengyun being sent flying backwards, Rong Jin was about to rush forward and finish him off when the rain intensified and a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree.

With a snap, the tree trunk broke and crashed down.

Rong Jin took a few steps back to avoid him, but Qi Chengyun took advantage of the moment when his view was blocked by tree branches and ran away.

"WTF?"

Brother Wang looked at the sky, frowned, and muttered to himself.

Ke Xue slapped his thigh: "How come he's so lucky? At such a crucial moment, with thunder and heavy rain, he still managed to chop a piece of a tree down."

Shen Ruyin reacted quickly, grabbed her umbrella, and ran out of the guesthouse in a few quick steps, holding the umbrella over Rong Jin's head.

“Don’t worry, boss,” Shen Ruyin reassured him. “He can run away, but he can’t hide. He’s still under Zhao Manrou’s control, so he’ll have to go back eventually.”

Rong Jin twirled his sword and sheathed it.

Before he could say anything, under Shen Ruyin's admiring gaze, another clap of thunder sounded. Rong Jin's expression changed, and he grabbed Shen Ruyin and headed for shelter in the guesthouse.

Shen Ruyin lost her grip on the umbrella, and with a snap, it was struck squarely by a bolt of lightning that looked like a purple snake.

"Oh my god!" Ke Xue and Brother Wang quickly got out of the car and ran to their side before the thunder started.

Seeing Shen Ruyin and the other woman whose hair and clothes were somewhat wet, Ke Xue angrily cursed, "Is this lightning blind? It doesn't strike ghosts, it only strikes people, is it crazy?!"

Brother Wang speculated, "Could it be that this lightning was originally related to a vengeful ghost? Yinyin stayed at the guesthouse for a long time and got tainted by ghostly energy, which is why the lightning..."

He stopped talking at this point, clearly realizing that if he continued, he wouldn't be able to convince even himself, let alone the others present.

Rong Jin shook his head, offering no comment, but remained standing in front of Shen Ruyin.

Shen Ruyin tugged at his arm, revealing half her face, looked up at the sky, and made a mocking, universally recognized hand gesture.

As if in response, the rolling thunder grew louder, and lightning crackled in the thunderclouds, as if brewing an exceptionally terrifying attack.

"Holy crap!" Ke Xue's eyes widened. "Let's go, let's go inside quickly. It's too unsafe to stay here."

Shen Ruyin looked up at the cloud and said, "Chop it, if you're so capable, then chop it."

"Let the lightning strike down so that everyone knows that this lightning has eyes, and it doesn't strike the vengeful ghosts with blood on their hands, but only the innocent."

With that, Shen Ruyin scoffed, "You biased good-for-nothing who's all the way to the beach!"

"No, Yinyin," Ke Xue opened his mouth, looked at her, then at the sky, "Who are you cursing?"

Shen Ruyin didn't give him a cold look: "Whoever is biased and insists on saving the evil ghost, I'll scold them."

Brother Wang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Shen Ruyin didn't directly mention the will of Heaven, but simply said, "I don't believe that such bizarre lightning couldn't have been caused by external interference."

"I was just going out with an umbrella, and he still managed to hit me on the head. Wasn't he just aiming for me?"

If Shen Ruyin were a villain, that would be one thing, but she clearly wasn't, so Rong Jin and the other two easily believed her.

Someone is definitely controlling the mines.

“It might be Qi Chengyun’s brother,” Ke Xue said. “Besides him, who else would protect Qi Chengyun like this?”

Ke Xue's eyes darted around, and he nudged Shen Ruyin's arm: "Could it be that after I left last night, that Boss Wei confessed to you and got rejected. Now he's angry and using you as a scapegoat?"

"Confess?" Rong Jin looked at Shen Ruyin.

"There was no confession at all, don't listen to his wild guesses," Shen Ruyin said, naturally speaking with great confidence when denying something that never happened.

"Everyone knows he's a vengeful ghost, would I be asking for trouble if I didn't stay far away from him?"

“That’s true,” Ke Xue said. “You’re so good at protecting yourself.”

“Go upstairs and dry your hair first, then change your clothes,” Rong Jin said. “With such heavy rain outside, the people in your studio definitely can’t go out to play. I’ll also ask the people in the Special Affairs Bureau what’s going on.”

Shen Ruyin nodded: "I remember there are still empty rooms here. Boss, Brother Wang, why don't you get your hair dried too?"

“Boss, you…” She paused, glancing at his clothes, which looked particularly tight and figure-hugging after being soaked by the heavy rain. “If you use a hairdryer, it’ll probably take forever. I’ll go find my master and get a disposable bathrobe. I remember he said he brought extras.”

"Go take a shower, and wear these for now, okay?"

"This guesthouse has a dryer, so the clothes you take off should dry in no time."

Ke Xue asked curiously, "Why borrow a bathrobe when you could just borrow clothes?"

Shen Ruyin hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but tell the truth: "Boss, do you think any of the male teachers from Muyun Studio could fit into your clothes, given your boss's physique?"

Ke Xue recalled the days when he tried to work out to match Rong Jin's physique but to no avail: "Okay, you're right, but I think your master's clothes should work, right? He's quite tall."

“Loose-fitting clothes are fine, but I haven’t seen my master wear them these past two days,” Shen Ruyin said tactfully, but everyone understood.

Although Mu Yun is tall enough, his physique is not as good as Rong Jin's. The shirts that Mu Yun usually wears, or the T-shirts that fit him perfectly, would probably not fit Rong Jin.

"Or forget it," Ke Xue said. "I'll just have someone send me clean clothes, so I don't have to change them."

Shen Ruyin glanced at the sky outside, then looked at Ke Xue without saying a word.

Ke Xue then realized that lightning was still striking outside. What if something happened if someone came to deliver the clothes?

At this moment, who knows what triggering mode this blind lightning is?

Before he could speak again, he suddenly remembered something: "Doesn't this guesthouse provide bathrobes?"

“Yes, it’s dirty. You’ll see for yourselves when you go to the room,” Shen Ruyin said. “Using that bathrobe is worse than just sleeping in it and waiting for it to dry.”

Ke Xue rejected Shen Ruyin's suggestion, muttering to himself all the way, "How dirty can it be?"

When he opened the wardrobe door, he saw that the bathrobe was evenly covered with a faint ghostly aura, and he immediately lost all desire to even touch it.

Brother Wang leaned over and studied it for a moment: "They probably cleaned these things with ghostly energy to save time. If you don't feel disgusted, you can possess them."

"For ordinary people, wearing these clothes and sunbathing is usually enough."

Ke Xue's face was full of struggle: "Or should we use talismans to dispel the ghostly aura?"

"No, forget it," Ke Xue quickly dismissed his idea. "Just thinking about how these clothes were dry-cleaned with ghostly energy, worn by people but never washed, and never disinfected..."

"Yinyin is right, this bathrobe is quite dirty, it's really unhygienic to even think about it."

"Boss, how about we ask Yinyin to borrow her master's bathrobe?"

Rong Jin, somewhat helpless, reached out to Brother Wang.

Brother Wang chuckled at Ke Xue, took out a dry talisman from the inside pocket of his clothes, and handed it to Rong Jin.

Rong Jin activated the talisman, and soon the moisture on the three of them disappeared, and their clothes became dry.

“Ke Xue,” Brother Wang slapped him on the shoulder.

“Yinyin doesn’t have many field missions and doesn’t usually come into contact with talismans, so it’s understandable that she didn’t think of it, but you…”

Brother Wang patted him twice in a comforting tone, "You even remembered to use this to drive away the ghostly energy, so why didn't you think of using it to remove dampness?"

Ke Xue...

"Leave me alone, I'm out of my mind."
