I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Doyle, get out of the way!" Luo Shiqi turned around and beautifully pressed the golden flame onto the vengeful spirit.

Hearing this, Doyle immediately dodged.

The vengeful spirit exudes a strong aura of death. This dark creature is most afraid of Luo Shiqi's fire. It only takes a little spark to turn it into ashes on the spot.

However, when it was about to be burned to ashes by the golden flame, the vengeful spirit's figure suddenly disappeared mysteriously. When he turned around, he found that he had crawled to the feet of Lycoris radiata.

"This... what is this?" Seeing the ugly and disgusting appearance of the vengeful spirit, Manjushage couldn't help feeling a little nauseous.

A streak of blazing fire flashed past her, and the vengeful spirit disappeared again.

"This guy, how come he moves so fast?" Luo Shiqi was sweating all over. The appearance of the vengeful spirit caused the crowd to become chaotic.

It was difficult to use magic perception to search for the location of the vengeful spirit when there were so many people around, and that guy was running around in the crowd. Even if he could find it, Luo Shiqi would not be able to do it, otherwise it would easily hurt other people by mistake.

"Doyle, can't you use your barrier to trap him?"

"If I could, I would have solved it myself long ago. Why would I come to you?"

Luo Shiqi's attempt to ask Doyle to seal the vengeful spirit was immediately rejected.

"Doesn't your barrier have a suppressing effect on this kind of monster?" Luo Shiqi remembered that Doyle had boasted to him about this many times.

"I don't know why this guy can go straight through the barrier. I tried several times and it's the same!" Doyle held his head to avoid the occasional attacks of the vengeful spirits: "Where's your flute? Hurry up and catch this guy with the silk thread!"

"Misty galaxy!" Luo Shiqi immediately summoned his flute, and the graceful notes he blew turned into silver threads, weaving through the chaotic crowd.

The frightened people fled in a hurry, but because it was too dark and their vision was obstructed, they either tripped or bumped into each other, and the scene was quite chaotic.

Someone tried to relight the candle in a hurry, but accidentally ignited the surrounding flammable materials, causing the fire to spread.

Manjushage originally wanted to guide the people to evacuate, but the sudden accident made the crowd even more restless. Luo Shiqi's silk thread fixed some people in place, and the fire burned their bodies but they still couldn't catch the vengeful spirit.

"Oh no! Put out the fire!"

"Why don't those people run away? Are they scared silly?"

"Where is Master Souji? Help!"

"It's already this late, how could Souji still be on duty? Go find the guards!"

The chaos spread further, initially just to the circle of people around them, then gradually expanded to a wider area, and the entire celebration site became a mess.

Luo Shiqi hurriedly retracted the silk thread. He could suppress some of the flames, but in this situation there were always people who wanted to light candles, causing the fire to be unable to be effectively controlled.

In a hurry, he quickly released a large fireball and made it rise into the air to brighten the view.

But if he had to take care of both ends, he wouldn't be able to capture the vengeful spirit.

The guy moved recklessly among the crowd, leaving behind traces of blood and stains, triggering a series of screams.

At this moment, a strong light suddenly appeared in the sky. Although it was not as hot as Luo Shiqi's golden flame, it was unexpectedly very bright.

Immediately afterwards, a drizzle fell, just in time to extinguish all the nearby fires.

"It's Rujing and Erica." Manjusaka was overjoyed.

There were actually guards guarding the ceremony site, but the incident happened suddenly and they were unable to react immediately.

With the arrival of Ru Jing and others, the order on the street has been initially controlled, and the crowds dispersed to the surrounding areas, giving Luo Shiqi enough space to display his skills.

After several previous attempts, he had realized that the vengeful spirit was not simply fast, but might have moved through space.

Moreover, the way he moved was quite strange. Without any warning, he would appear somewhere else in an instant.

If this continues, it will be difficult to catch the vengeful spirit without knowing in advance where he might appear.

"Seventeen, behind you!" At this moment, the voice of Manjushage came from beside.

Luo Shiqi almost subconsciously released the thread in that direction, and miraculously, the vengeful spirit happened to appear in that place.

Even if he started space jumping again to avoid the attack, he was inevitably hurt by the golden flames bursting out from the silk thread, and his speed was significantly reduced.

Luo Shiqi originally wanted to solve it in one go, but unexpectedly, Manjushage pointed out the location of the vengeful spirit again: "It's up there!"

Trusting her was an instinct. Luo Shiqi played the flute without thinking, and several silk threads flew out at the same time, hitting the vengeful spirit that had just finished moving.

Luo Shiqi quickly used silver silk threads to lock the vengeful spirit's movements, and made a cage for it to ensure that it would not escape.

"Finally solved it. Manjusaka, you are so amazing that you can actually find the location of this guy." Luo Shiqi said as he picked up the silver wire cage in his hand.

"Every time he moves in space, there is an obvious shadowy aura. My magic happens to be of dark attribute, so the reaction is more obvious." Manjushage said.

She also didn't expect that the vengeful spirit could use dark magic to move through space. If the same magical reaction had not coincidentally appeared at the place where the vengeful spirit had just completed the jump, she probably wouldn't have cared about this fluctuation at all.

After the vengeful spirit was pacified, the guards who arrived actively evacuated the rioting crowd under the command of Rujing. However, many people still felt that it was not auspicious for such a thing to happen during the grand celebration of the Blessing Festival.

Fortunately, in recent years, the public security in Liuguang City has been getting better and better, and Rujing has become a relatively well-known public figure.

As long as she says it's okay, people will feel relieved.

After the celebration, the crowd dispersed, Erica and others gathered around, and asked sadly: "What happened?"

"I was just trying to buy the latest volume of 'The Rich Lady Goes to the Battlefield and Picks Up a Silver-Haired Handsome Man' when this guy suddenly jumped out and scared me."

Doyle pointed at the vengeful spirit that was tightly bound by the silver thread:

"I originally wanted to use the barrier to trap this guy, but who knew it didn't work on him. He even chased me. If I hadn't sensed that Seventeen was nearby, I'm afraid something would have happened to me!"

"Master Doyle, thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, the people are not harmed by the evil spirits." Rujing bowed deeply.

"You're welcome." Doyle felt a little embarrassed to be thanked so solemnly.

"Where on earth did this guy come from? The Gospel District is shrouded in the sound of holy bells, so this kind of monster shouldn't appear there." Luo Shiqi picked up the vengeful spirit in his hand and observed it carefully.

His body was covered in blood clots and mud, his face was bloodshot, and only the outline of a baby could be vaguely seen.

"No one was injured when the thunderstorm occurred a few days ago, but many buildings were damaged. Could it be that he escaped at that time?" Ru Jing speculated.

"It's possible," Mushu nodded, "This seemingly accidental incident is very consistent with the characteristics of a 'signal'."

Everyone was puzzled after hearing this: "What signal?"

"It's nothing. Since the celebration is over, everyone should go back and have a good rest. Miss Manjusaka, don't you still have to travel tomorrow? You should replenish your energy." A trace of panic flashed in Mushu's eyes, and he changed the subject abruptly.

"You're right. There's really no need to cause panic." Manjushage said with a smile.

Her natural smile undoubtedly told Mushu that she had guessed something that was hidden.

"Then let's go back first, Seventeen." Doyle yawned, and pulled Luo Seventeen to go back and rest as if nothing had happened.

"But... Lycoris radiata..."

"I want to talk to the Knight Commander for a while. Don't worry. You can go back first."

Luo Shiqi was about to say something when Manjushage immediately comforted him.

"Okay then." Luo Shiqi nodded.

After getting Manjushage's assurance, he left with Doyle with peace of mind.

"Should I leave?" Erica also vaguely sensed this inexplicably tense atmosphere.

Rujing smiled sweetly: "No need, you will know it sooner or later anyway."

"Yes, then let's talk in detail about Ilivia Grusel, the national-level felon." Manjushage seemed to have anticipated the development of the matter, and a calm smile appeared on her beautiful face.
