Chapter 648 Soul Capturing
Chen Yile said, "I feel it's necessary to investigate the owner of the video studio. Do you plan to go with me?"
When Ajie heard that they were going together, he seemed hesitant, but Aya was more looking forward to it.
She said to her companions, "I've watched many of Yile's live broadcasts. He's very good. Don't you want to experience catching ghosts yourself?"
They were all teenagers, and they became interested when they heard about catching ghosts.
Xiaomei and Xiaopeng also nodded, expressing their willingness to follow Chen Yile to investigate.
So, a few people decided to take action immediately and go find the owner of Xiaoying Video Hall.
Returning to the front desk, Chen Yile gently pushed open the door and found it was pitch black inside, with only a dim light on at the bar.
The owner of the video hall, the middle-aged woman, was still sitting there, staring at the TV with a dull look, as if she didn't notice their arrival.
"Boss, we are back."
Chen Yile said softly.
The boss slowly turned around, put on a smile and said, "Oh? You guys are done watching it. How was the movie?"
Chen Yile came to the boss and looked down at her.
He mentioned a fake identity commonly used by psychic detective organizations and said he wanted to know something.
The boss looked puzzled: "What do you know?"
"Where did that movie come from, and what's going on with this video parlor?"
Chen Yile looked directly into his boss's eyes, trying to catch a clue from her expression.
The boss was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I just took over this video hall from the previous owner. As for that movie, that owner told me it's very special and that customers will definitely like it."
"Special? How to say?"
Chen Yile asked.
"He didn't tell me too much about the details, just that if new customers saw this, they would definitely come back often. I saw the movie too, it was just a good horror movie, nothing special."
Chen Yile stared into the boss's eyes and felt that the boss did not seem to be lying.
He pondered for a while and felt that he needed to check the original film, perhaps he could find clues to solve the problem.
"Boss, do you still have the master tape of the movie? Can you show it to me?"
The boss hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and took them to a small room.
“That’s the plate.”
The boss handed Chen Yile a master tape.
Chen Yile picked up the videotape and examined it carefully.
There was nothing special about the videotape on the surface, but as soon as he opened the shell, Chen Yile felt something was wrong.
The components in the videotape were tilted and looked like they had been tampered with.
He asked his boss, "Has anyone else touched this videotape besides you?"
"This master tape was handed to me by the boss himself. No one has touched it except me."
Hearing this, Chen Yile felt that something was wrong.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you familiar with the former boss?"
The boss said she didn’t know the former boss and that she contacted him after seeing the ad in the newspaper.
Chen Yile nodded and asked no more questions.
He borrowed the movie master tape from his boss, returned to the screening room where several people watched the movie, and paced back and forth, thinking.
During the inspection just now, Chen Yile discovered that there were some strange runes engraved on some parts of the videotape.
He glanced at them with his spiritual eyes. These runes emitted a faint black aura and seemed to be related to some sinister spell.
what is it?
Chen Yile couldn't figure it out, so he sent a message to Ling Feng.
He told Ling Feng what had happened and asked Ling Feng if there was any spell that could achieve this effect.
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and put forward a hypothesis.
"It could be a variation of soul-mastery."
Soul-stealing is a sorcery that is used to absorb the soul power of ordinary people in order to improve one's own cultivation. It is often used by evil demons.
"This kind of evil soul-stealing technique should be used by the Changsheng Sect to sacrifice ordinary people to improve their cultivation."
"They implanted soul-stealing runes into the tapes. Once someone watches the videos, the spell will take effect, and the essence of their soul will gradually be drained away."
"This incident must have been planned by the remnants of the Changsheng Cult."
Ling Feng speculated.
Now Chen Yile finally understood the whole story. This matter was actually related to the Changsheng Sect.
Chen Yile returned to Aya and the others and told them everything he could about the matter.
After hearing this, several people's faces turned pale. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a terrible thing.
"I'll take care of this matter later. It's quite dangerous, so you guys should go back first."
Aya and the others nodded sensibly and went back on their own.
What Chen Yile has to do next is to track down the former boss, who is very suspicious.
He took out a talisman for finding something, touched it with a little of the aura of those runes, then waved his finger and infused spiritual power into it.
After the tracing talisman was activated, it slowly floated in one direction.
Chen Yile followed the talisman closely, turning left and right, and unexpectedly arrived at the gate of an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
The scent of searching disappeared here.
Entering the factory, Chen Yile saw a large abandoned warehouse with a pile of broken machines and tables and chairs scattered inside.
There was an old wooden bed in the middle of the warehouse, and a man dressed in black was lying on the bed.
Chen Yile walked up to the man, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Did you do that at Xiaoying Video Hall?"
The middle-aged man did not answer. He showed a strange expression and then laughed strangely.
"Stop talking nonsense, Chen Yile, I did it, I want your life!"
He took out a small seal and grabbed a handful of talisman paper, tore it into pieces, and threw the seal among the pieces.
Then, he formed seals with his hands and chanted a spell, and the seal suddenly rose into the air and slowly rotated in the air.
The middle-aged man cast a spell, and countless black air rose from the debris and merged into the seal, as if countless souls were wailing.
Chen Yile became alert. He noticed that the middle-aged man had a strong yin energy.
The black air was spinning in the air, like a black dragon hovering in the sky.
The middle-aged man showed a sinister smile, as if he had already seen the end of Chen Yile being defeated.
He roared, "Soul-stealing!"
Chen Yile quickly cast the Golden Thunder Spell, and a golden dragon emerged majestically.
The golden dragon and the black dragon collided with each other, making a loud "boom" sound, and the two dragons disappeared at the same time.
However, the seal in the black dragon's body burst out with even greater power, creating another even larger black dragon.
The black dragon's power is so overwhelming that it seems to destroy everything.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man laughed triumphantly.
"Chen Yile, you're nothing special. I still win!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to see something incredible.
Under the middle-aged man's incredulous gaze, the black dragon's abdomen suddenly tore apart, and a golden dragon broke out of its belly.
Then the golden dragon quickly destroyed the black dragon cast by the middle-aged man with a crushing force.
