Bai Lu bit her delicate white finger and asked in confusion, "Do you think it's taking too long?"
"Then I'll give you another strong dose of medicine, and you'll recover in an hour."
Sangbo grasped Su Jinyan's hand and said weakly, "Good brother."
"I don't want to participate in ghost-hunting training anymore..."
Su Jinyan raised an eyebrow and said, "Since you insist, I have no choice but to agree."
"But let me make this clear from the start: if you don't participate in the ghost-catching training..."
"If you encounter someone like Suiyang later, you might suffer in silence."
"Besides, we had already discussed it beforehand."
"For every Suiyang you catch, I'll stamp five seals on your card collection book. You don't want to break the seal on your destiny, do you?"
Sambo said breathlessly, "Cough cough, it's nothing."
"I'm staying at the clinic to recover from my injuries and not going anywhere. Let's talk about catching the sun god once I'm fully recovered."
In reality, it's impossible for Old Sangbo not to go anywhere; this is just an excuse he made to appease Su Jinyan.
In his opinion, Su Jinyan's ghost-catching training was completely unnecessary.
It's just catching ghosts, isn't it? With me, Old Sambo, handling it is a piece of cake.
Old Sangbo plans to secretly capture all the scattered Suiyang and kill them, keeping it a secret from everyone.
Then he secretly hid in the shadows and observed Huo Huo and the others as they tried to find Sui Yang but could not.
Once everyone's mood has become impatient, Sangbo will step forward at the opportune moment to hand over Suiyang and enjoy their shocked expressions. Just thinking about it makes me feel quite amused.
Su Jinyan pondered for a moment and said, "Then, let's continue our ghost-catching training."
"Xiao Guizi, come with me."
Suddenly, Bai Lu tugged at his sleeve and looked at him with a smile.
"Little Su, you helped me so much before, and I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet."
"Want to grab a late-night snack together? My treat."
Su Jinyan pinched Bai Lu's little face.
"Little guy, aren't you afraid we'll eat you out of house and home?"
Bai Lu proudly put her hands on her hips: "Who do you think you're talking to?"
“I am Bai Lu, the Wisdom Dragon Lord of the Immortal Ship Luofu. All expenses are charged to the Wisdom Clan Dragon Master Council.”
Su Jinyan nodded with satisfaction: "This is how the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord should be."
"The more assertive you are, the more the Dragon Master will fear you."
Bai Lu was proud, but also a little shy: "Hmph, this is all thanks to you and Sister Jing Liu for your help."
"In short, I will always remember your kindness to me."
Su Jinyan laughed and called out, "Let's go, ladies. Lord Longzun is treating. Let's go to Jinren Alley for a late-night snack."
The once bustling Qingnang Pavilion was now completely deserted in the blink of an eye.
Old Sangbo lay alone in his hospital bed.
Sangbo sighed, "Sigh, busy, everyone's busy. It's good to be busy."
......
Su Jinyan and Bai Lu and the others soon arrived at the tavern in Jinren Alley, reserved a private room, and ordered a table of fine wine and dishes.
After a few rounds of drinks, Su Jinyan jokingly said, "Next, let's invite our Judge Huo Huo to say a few words."
Thunderous applause erupted in the private room.
Huo Huo said timidly, "Uncle Su, what do you want me to say? I don't know how..."
Su Jinyan said solemnly, "You should tell everyone how to exorcise the evil spirits of the year, and the situation of those who escaped the evil spirits."
"If there's anything I've missed, I'll make it up to you."
Huo Huo nodded gently: "According to the Ten Kings' understanding of the habits of the Sun, the Sun will mostly seek a host in densely populated areas."
"Wherever you go, there will be many inexplicable paranormal events."
“I’ve discussed this with Miss Gui over the past few days.”
"We concluded that we could gather information from the largest paranormal enthusiast website in Xianzhou."
Gui Naifen picked up her phone and showed it to everyone present: "Lady Huo Huo is right, everyone please take a look."
"This is the largest paranormal enthusiast website on our Fairy Ship."
"I plan to post the process of suppressing the sun on this website."
"Use the 'Catch the New Year's Sun' strategy to gain followers, and then use followers to catch the New Year's Sun, forming a positive ecological cycle."
Su Chang frowned and said, "Wait, Xiao Gui Zi, wouldn't this violate the principle of acting in secrecy?"
Huo Huo also expressed some concerns: "Moreover, Sui Yang feeds on emotions and often manipulates victims to expose their hidden inner selves."
"Won't posting the victim's information online cause secondary harm?"
Seeing Gui Naifen frown, Huo Huo hurriedly explained:
"I...I absolutely did not mean to criticize you, I was just expressing some concerns."
Gui Naifen pondered for a moment and said, "My view is that acting in secrecy and exposing the supernatural are not contradictory."
"Hide the victims' names, only show the heroic figures of us subduing the monsters, take some photos of the intense battle, and add a slightly provocative title."
"For example, something like 'Afen's Ghost Hunting: The Beautiful Girl on Cloud Riding Encounters a Ghost on the Night Road, and Makes the Demon Regret It in Just Three Seconds'."
"The operation to capture Suiyang was portrayed by us as a series of eye-catching entertainment videos."
"People are also skeptical about similar things, and the panic disappears quickly."
Silver Wolf, distracted while playing his handheld game, muttered, "Oh, that's a pretty good idea."
"Wow--"
The sudden appearance of the silver wolf startled Xiao Guizi and the others.
Su Chang asked in alarm, "You, you, when did you get here?"
"How did it appear like a ghost, all of a sudden?"
Silver Wolf put down the handheld console, shifted his small, perky bottom, and sat down next to Su Jinyan: "Directional leap, kid."
“Ayan just sent me a private message saying she needed to talk to me, so I came over.”
Su Jinyan put her arm around the silver wolf's slender waist.
Silver Wolf initially resisted, but after pretending to struggle for a few moments, he let Su Jinyan hold him.
"You don't need to worry about Silver Wolf."
"I have other things to do with my baby later."
"I'd like to add a few more points about what Huo Huo just said."
Under everyone's gaze, Su Jinyan said with a serious expression:
"After parasitizing its host, Suiyang will continuously interfere with the host's nervous system and communicate with the host."
"Exploit their inner desires and weaknesses to create illusions and incite emotions."
"Initially, the host simply felt that another 'self' had emerged in his brain that could understand him and talk to him."
Su Chang's face was serious: "I know this all too well."
"When I was parasitized by Huanlong, it was another Sushang who was talking to me."
Su Jinyan continued, "Driven by the sun, humans completely lose their self-control and morality, and will unleash their inner desires."
"At the end of the parasitic process, the host's body will be depleted by the sun and will suddenly spontaneously combust. This result is often fatal to short-lived species."
"So, how do we drive the life force away from the host that has been parasitized?"
"The standard method of subduing demons is to inflict appropriate violence on the host without causing permanent damage."
"As the host's physical body becomes paralyzed and incapacitated, the Suiyang, unable to sense the host's emotions, will naturally leave to seek other prey."
Su Chang bit her lip, shyly twisting her fingers, her fair earlobes turning slightly red.
"Of course, when the host realizes the harm caused by Suiyang and no longer insists on fulfilling his inner desires."
"They also have a chance to break free from the illusion created by Suiyang."
Bai Lu asked earnestly, "Little Su, how can we prevent the parasitic growth of Suiyang?"
Su Jinyan raised her index finger: "Willpower, that's the most crucial thing."
"If your will is strong enough, Suiyang can't do anything to you."
Xing nodded slightly: "A focused will can break through even the hardest rock."
Su Jinyan continued, "Furthermore, there are those who are strong without any flaws or weaknesses in their hearts; these are the kinds of people that Suiyang avoids."
