Realm of the Night God

The meaning behind Deputy Captain Zhou's words was clear to everyone present, all of whom were men. Not only did Yang Haoran understand, but the other four Spirit Police officers did as well.

Yang Haoran wore an expression of helpless amusement on his face because he realized the misunderstanding caused by his actions was quite significant.

As he had his back turned to Deputy Captain Zhou and the other four, and the front of the crazy woman was obscured by him, they only witnessed him tearing the clothes of the crazy woman. The specifics of the situation went unnoticed by them.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Yang Haoran shifted his body, revealing the crazy woman in the line of sight of the five men.

While the crazy woman's clothes were indeed torn by Yang Haoran, he had only torn the part around her abdomen, exposing only her stomach and keeping the rest covered.

"Could you not imagine me to be so indecent? Even if I were desperate, I wouldn't stoop so low as to pursue a madwoman," Yang Haoran said with an awkward smile, addressing Deputy Captain Zhou.

The scene before Deputy Captain Zhou was different from what he had initially thought, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Well... I, uh, apologize. Your actions did seem quite misleading," Deputy Captain Zhou replied.

Yang Haoran forced a wry smile and pointed towards the exposed stomach of the crazy woman. "Did you find anything?" he asked Deputy Captain Zhou.

"It's dirty!" After a moment, Deputy Captain Zhou stated the obvious.

Yang Haoran's lips twitched, and he forced a strained smile. "I know that. Anything else?"

"Well... her waist is quite slender," Deputy Captain Zhou said with a serious expression.

Yang Haoran's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained composure and continued, "I didn't notice that. Besides this, anything else?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Captain Zhou realized there might be something else on the crazy woman's stomach that he hadn't noticed. He moved closer and examined her stomach more carefully.

After a while, Deputy Captain Zhou, struggling with the foul odor emanating from the crazy woman, had to cover his nose with his hand during the inspection.

After a brief moment, Deputy Captain Zhou exclaimed, "Hmm, there's something on her stomach... it looks like some kind of drawing!"

Upon this revelation, Deputy Captain Zhou straightened his body and looked at Yang Haoran, seeking confirmation. Yang Haoran nodded with a smile.

Indeed, there was something drawn on the crazy woman's stomach. However, due to the thick layer of dirt on her body, it was impossible to notice the drawing without a close inspection.

Assured by Yang Haoran, Deputy Captain Zhou ordered the other four Spirit Police officers to bring a basin of water. He intended to clean the crazy woman's stomach carefully and see what was drawn on it.

"No need for that," Yang Haoran stopped the Spirit Police officers. Then, under the watchful eyes of the five men, he pressed his palm against the crazy woman's stomach.

This time, there were no inappropriate thoughts from anyone, including Deputy Captain Zhou. All five wore serious expressions.

As Yang Haoran's palm touched the crazy woman's stomach, aside from her increased struggling, there was no other reaction.

However, as Yang Haoran forcibly infused a trace of Yin spirit power into the crazy woman's body, a sudden change occurred!

A green light emanated from the crazy woman's stomach, clarifying the previously blurry pattern!

A twisted design that resembled both a pattern and writing, radiating a strong green light, became clear. Even the thick layer of grime couldn't conceal it.

The other four Spirit Police officers couldn't comprehend what it was, but Deputy Captain Zhou was different. As he recognized the illuminated pattern on the crazy woman's stomach, his expression changed abruptly.

"This is... a hex!" Deputy Captain Zhou's voice carried genuine astonishment, and Yang Haoran was equally surprised, not by the hex but by Deputy Captain Zhou's familiarity with it.

The pattern emitting a green light on the crazy woman's stomach was indeed a hex.

Yang Haoran recognized hex because he had encountered it more than once before. Moreover, he could decipher demonic script, thanks to the demonic pill he possessed.

Yet, these weren't the crucial points. What truly mattered was that he had also practiced the enchantment technique of the monster clan!

As for why Deputy Captain Zhou also recognized the hex, it intrigued him.

"So, Deputy Captain Zhou is truly exceptional, to even recognize hex," Yang Haoran remarked while keeping an eye on the changes on the crazy woman's stomach, smiling as he spoke.

Deputy Captain Zhou chuckled and replied, "Our Spirit Police don't just deal with ghosts; our responsibilities include all kinds of supernatural beings. Moreover, I am an exorcist myself, so I know a bit about various things."

"I see. Does Deputy Captain Zhou know the meaning of the hex on her stomach?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Deputy Captain Zhou's smile turned awkward, shaking his head before saying, "I recognize hex and demonic script, but I can't understand their meanings. Does Divine Envoy Yang know what it signifies?"

"It's a sealing character, but I'm not sure about its specific purpose. Like you, I only have a superficial understanding of demonic script and hex," Yang Haoran replied with a smile.

Deputy Captain Zhou, realizing that Yang Haoran, not being part of the monster clan, could read demonic script and hex, was first surprised and then seemed to connect some dots, making his gaze toward Yang Haoran even more astonished.

"Divine Envoy Yang is indeed impressive. I admire your skills," Deputy Captain Zhou praised, but Yang Haoran just smiled without saying anything, continuing to infuse Yin spirit power into the madwoman's stomach.

"This black talisman master likely fell victim to the hands of the monster clan, leading to her current state. If we can break this hex, perhaps we can awaken her consciousness and extract useful information from her," Deputy Captain Zhou continued.

Yang Haoran nodded, responding, "Deputy Captain Zhou's thoughts align with mine."

As these words were spoken, the hex on the crazy woman's stomach seemed to sense danger and became agitated.

The green light intensified, attempting to forcefully repel Yang Haoran's hand.

Rather than panic, Yang Haoran's face displayed an even richer smile, as if he had expected all of this.

With a muffled bang, black smoke suddenly rose from Yang Haoran's hand pressed against the madwoman's stomach. In this instant, he increased the infusion of Yin spirit power into her body.

The Yin spirit power surged like a bursting flood, flowing continuously into the crazy woman's body, specifically toward the hex inside her.

Although the hex manifested on the surface of the madwoman's stomach, it was actually inside her body. Yang Haoran's intention was to forcibly break this hex using sheer force.

Deputy Captain Zhou, observing Yang Haoran's intentions, didn't interfere but signaled the other four Spirit Police to stay alert in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

As the Yin spirit power kept pouring into the madwoman's body, her struggles became more intense, accompanied by piercing screams from her mouth.

Yang Haoran seemed indifferent to her struggles and screams, as if he hadn't noticed, continuing to forcefully infuse Yin spirit power into her.

The hex on her stomach trembled violently. After a few breaths, it shattered with a resounding noise, turning into scattered green lights that dissipated.

In the moment the hex vanished, the crazy woman ceased her struggles, and her screams abruptly stopped.

As if realizing something, Yang Haoran grabbed Deputy Captain Zhou and leaped backward!

Just as they moved, the crazy woman began vomiting violently.

Dark and mushy substance slowly oozed out of her mouth. At first, it was unclear what she was expelling, but with each forceful heave, it became longer and more abundant.

What the crazy woman was vomiting out, bit by bit, turned out to be long strands of hair!
