Xiao Xie saw everyone was looking at him and his back was soaked with cold sweat. His face paled as he immediately raised his hands like he has been caught in the act. “N – no way!” he said. “I – I’m not! I am not possessed!” he said as he looked at Gu Xingfeng, his eyes pleading. “Chief! You know I’m not! I’ve been with you and young master Hao the whole time!” he said and looked at Hao Baiyun silently standing beside Gu Xingfeng. “Chief…” he called, his tears almost falling from his eyes.
Gu Xingfeng’s face is emotionless as he looked at Xiao Xie with his eyes cold. “Come here.” He called.
Xiao Xie stood by the door of the rooftop, motionless. “Ch-chief…” he called, his voice sounded too pitiful.
No one dared to move.. Finally, Gu Xingfeng’s patience thinned. He marched towards Xiao Xie. The police officers held their breath as Gu Xingfeng passed by them with a dark face. They do not dare to move despite the rain became heavier and lightning flashed afar.
Everyone’s face was illuminated when the lightning flashed. Gu Xingfeng reached the middle of the formation of the police officers in the rooftop. Xiao Xie was still standing by the door, shaking in fear. Hao Baiyun remained where he was, and his servant who was following him suddenly appeared behind him with an umbrella in his hand, sheltering Hao Baiyun from the rain.
The sounds of the key falling on the floor after Xiao Xie had dropped it echoed in the rooftop. Everyone suddenly noticed something strange. They finally reacted. Someone in the darkness narrowed his eyes and smiled. He wanted to escape, but he suddenly felt he couldn’t move.
It was just a second that passed. When another lightning flashed, the thunder roared and swallowed the groaning sounds because of the pain. The lightning illuminated Xiao Xie pressing down a police officer on the floor. Gu Xingfeng was holding another police officer’s neck in a death grip. Hao Baiyun was stepping on the third police officer’s nape who was now lying on the ground after he kicked him down while Hao Baiyun’s servant was pointing the sharp tip of the umbrella towards someone neck. The tip of the umbrella glistened ominously.
“W-what… what just happened?!” the police officers reacted as they all scattered and broke their formation. Four police officers left in their place and were subdued by Gu Xingfeng, Hao Baiyun, Hao Baiyun’s servant and Xiao Xie.
Suddenly, beneath their feet, they heard murmurs. “We call the souls of the dead. The Heaven is the Witness and the Earth suppresses…” someone’s voice suddenly can be heard in the rooftop. However, they saw no one was speaking. Where did the voice came from? Who was it who spoke? They all thought, bewildered.
The murmurs just continued and finally became louder. In the silence of the night, it sounded an ill omen. It was then that Hao Baiyun spoke. “Those who were possessed, the foreign soul inside their body would be suppressed and the body they controlled cannot move after they would hear the Soul Calling chant.” He explained.
The police officers who were free saw their fellow officers who were pressed down on the floor. They looked like their body was in a stop. Their eyes are shaking, showing their internal struggle. “So they…” they said.
“They were the ones who killed Xu Wenrong.” Gu Xingfeng spoke. “Because they were possessed.” He said.
The police officers were shocked. “Then, the one who chanted earlier…” they said.
“The Supernatural Department.” Hao Baiyun answered. “They’re beneath us – on 142.” He said as they heard the chant became louder.
Suddenly the four police officers screamed in pain and their body was twitching. “No! NO!” a police officer screamed. However, he is clearly a man yet his voice sounded like a woman’s!
Hao Baiyun’s eyes became hooded. “Fu Ling.” He said.
“What?!”
“He was possessed by Fu Ling.” Hao Baiyun said as he freed the police officer possessed by Fu Ling and they all watched his body convulsed on the floor. “Fu Ling’s soul is more powerful than the police officer.” He said.
“Young master Hao, what should we do? How can we save him?” the close friends of the police officer asked Hao Baiyun.
“If he can last until dawn, then he will live.” Hao Baiyun answered. The ghosts are weak during the day, but stronger when the night came.
Their eyes suddenly widened when they saw the police officer grabbed his neck! “I will take him down with me if you won’t let go of my soul!” it was a woman’s voice! It was Fu Ling who spoke! “AAAAAHHH!!!” the police officer found his voice and he screamed.
“Hold him down!” Hao Baiyun ordered. “Don’t let him harm himself, or he’ll die!” he said.
The police officer’s friends immediately grabbed him on all sides. “Let go of me! Let go of me!” Fu Ling said. But, the police officer’s friends wouldn’t let him go.
“Aaaaa… AAAH!” someone cried from the side. They all turned in time to see Hao Baiyun’s servant withdrew his umbrella to not injure the police officer who suddenly moved! “Hahahaha… hahaha!” it was a man’s voice, but they knew it wasn’t of the police officer’s since the voice that cried earlier is different. It was the police officer who cried!
If Huo Ling was just here, he would recognize the voice. It was Wei Jing. “Hold him!” Gu Xingfeng ordered his subordinates to subdue the police officer Wei Jing possessed since he was busy locking down on the police officer he subdued.
“Yes!” the others immediately moved and just in time to catch their colleague’s hand that was about to stab his chest! If they didn’t react in time, their colleague would have died!
“I need a little help here!” Xiao Xie said when the police officer he was pressing down suddenly turned and pushed him down, reversing their position! Xiao Xie immediately grabbed the police officer’s arms to prevent him from escaping. However, who knew the police officer would lean down towards Xiao Xie’s face! Xiao Xie was frightened and almost lost his grip of the police officer’s arms. “Song. Ming. Fan!” he called through his gritted teeth. “You dare bite Laozi?!” he said. “Are you a fucking dog?!” he added.
The police officers on the side who heard Xiao Xie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Xiao Xie, you’re such a treasure. How can you still speak arrogantly at a time like this? They thought and pulled Song Mingfan away from Xiao Xie. Xiao Xie finally had a time to breathe and he rose from the ground. “Xie…” they suddenly heard Song Mingfan called. His body was shaking as he fought against the soul that entered his body.
Xiao Xie was surprised. However, his fist automatically moved and he punched Song Mingfan!
