The butler, Li Tan, rushed over in response, his face showing some confusion.
"Open the door," Luo Ren ordered.
Although Li Tan was full of doubts, he still obediently opened the door.
Lin Yang went inside and turned to Luo Ren and Li Tan, saying:
"You wait outside, keep the door closed, and don't let anyone in."
Li Tan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But Luo Ren eventually stopped him.
Luo Ren gently patted his shoulder and whispered:
"Uncle Tan, let's go downstairs. We can leave this to Boss Lin."
The two turned and went downstairs, leaving Lin Yang alone to face Luo Pingting lying on the bed.
He walked to the bedside and looked down at the quiet woman.
Her face was pale, and her eyes were closed, as if she were asleep.
But Lin Yang knew that she was not in a normal slumber.
He reached out and gently removed Luo Pinting's clothes.
Her body was soft and weak, as if she had no bones.
Lin Yang had her lie face down on the bed and began to carefully examine her body.
Luo Pingting's body showed no abnormalities, but Lin Yang knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon.
Throughout the entire process, Luo Pingting remained unusually quiet, as if she were completely unaware of anything.
"Is this the essence of simplicity?"
Lin Yang stared intently at the strange moving thing behind Luo Pinting, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Luo Pingting suddenly stopped what she was doing, and a strange red light flickered in her eyes.
It was as if they were controlled by some evil force.
She suddenly leaped up and pounced on Lin Yang.
Lin Yang was prepared, and a bolt of electricity crackled and popped as he struck Luo Pinting.
Luo Pingting was electrocuted and her whole body convulsed. She let out a painful groan and her body involuntarily moved backward.
"Sure enough, anything related to evil spirits is afraid of electricity."
Lin Yang nodded inwardly as he observed Luo Pinting's reaction.
He continued to observe Luo Pingting's performance.
She seemed to be terrified of Lin Yang, and turned to ram her head against the wall.
Based on Luo Pingting's current performance, Lin Yang can be 100% certain!
After being possessed by Xin Jian, even the frail Luo Pingting was able to break through.
However, perhaps because the host was too weak, Xin Jian never had such a plan.
Or perhaps, she's been pretending all along.
But this time, encountering Lin Yang, they had no choice but to force the work to begin.

However, how could Lin Yang let Luo Pinting leave so easily?
His eyes narrowed, and a dazzling arc of electricity suddenly flashed between his fingers.
The electric arc leaped and danced, as if imbued with life, moving in accordance with Lin Yang's will.
"Sizzle!"
An arc of electricity suddenly shot out, transforming into a massive electric net that tightly enveloped Luo Pingting.
The electric grid shimmered with a dazzling light, and Luo Pingting struggled within it, letting out painful screams.
The sound was incredibly shrill, as if it were being torn apart from the depths of one's heart.
Lin Yang looked at her coldly, without the slightest pity on his face.
He knew that Luo Pinting had brought all of this upon herself.
If she hadn't wanted to escape, she wouldn't be suffering like this now.
Finally, Luo Pingting's screams gradually subsided and eventually turned into silence.
She collapsed into the electric fence and lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Lin Yang waved his hand and removed the electric fence.
He walked to Luo Pingting's side and gently placed her on the bed.
Then, he looked intently at Luo Pinting's back.
On Luo Pingting's back, a piece of human skin slowly rolled up.
The person's skin was as thin as a cicada's wing, with a faint sheen, and blood seeped out from the edges.
It rolled up naturally, like a sheet of plastic that had been scorched by a fire.
"Trying to escape?" Lin Yang sneered, mocking, "Do you think you have a 70% chance of escaping?"
As if it understood Lin Yang's words, the human skin suddenly lunged at Lin Yang.
It bared its teeth and brandished its claws, as if it wanted to devour Lin Yang.
"You want to possess me?" Lin Yang chuckled.
With a quick pull, he firmly grasped the human skin in his palm.
Then, arcs of electricity crackled in his palm, frantically stimulating the human skin.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The human skin twisted and struggled in Lin Yang's hands, emitting a series of shrill screams.
The sound was like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, sending chills down one's spine.
Lin Yang frowned slightly, sensing that the human skin seemed to be calling for help from the other hearts.
This surprised him; how could a mere heart-shaped object possess the consciousness to cry for help?
Immediately, a cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Yang's lips:
"That's good too. Other Xin Jian will automatically come here in the future."
Lin Yang thought this would save him trouble, as he wouldn't have to run around looking for Xin Jian anymore.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the human skin covered by the electric fence was taken into Pawnshop No. 8.
After taking care of everything, Lin Yang helped Luo Pinting get dressed again.
Then, he turned and walked out, leaving Luo Pingting alone in the room.
When Lin Yang came downstairs, Luo Ren and Li Tan were already waiting there.
Seeing Lin Yang come down, Luo Ren hurriedly went up to him and asked excitedly, "Boss Lin, how is Luo Pinting?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, she's fine now."
"You can go up and see her."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Luo Ren immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went upstairs with Li Tan.
After a while, Luo Ren came downstairs.
With a grateful smile on his face, he said to Lin Yang:
"Mr. Lin, thank you so much."
"Without you, we really don't know what we would do."
Lin Yang waved his hand and said indifferently, "No need to thank me. You've signed a contract with Pawnshop No. 8."
"This is what I should do."
Luo Ren nodded and asked cautiously, "Boss Lin, may I ask what exactly is on Luo Pinting's body?"
Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, then slowly uttered two words: "Xin Jian".
"Xin Jian?" Luo Ren looked puzzled.
Lin Yang slowly opened his mouth:
"The Seven Heart Scriptures are a secret from ancient times."
His gaze was deep:
"It is said that a mysterious meteorite fell to Earth."
"It brought with it a powerful and terrifying force."
"This force, after coming into contact with the Earth's environment..."
"Seven fierce auras formed."
"The bizarre energy that condensed into seven extreme murder cases."
Luo Ren listened intently, as if Lin Yang's words had transported him to that mysterious ancient era.
Lin Yang continued:
"These energies are invisible and intangible; they are merely a terrifying atmosphere."
“They are engraved on tortoise shells and animal bones, and have the power to induce evil thoughts and manipulate people’s minds.”
"You can imagine the disaster that would occur once these powers are unleashed."
Luo Ren swallowed hard, feeling a sudden, inexplicable fear.
Lin Yang changed the subject: "However, we entered the Spring and Autumn Period."
