The group soon arrived at the home of Boss Liu in the east of the city. Boss Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time. He was full of worry. When he saw Captain Long and Huo Jilin and others, he hurried over.

Boss Liu said anxiously: "Masters, you must help me. This is too scary. I don't know what to do."

Huo Jilin comforted: "Boss Liu, don't worry. Let's go and see the situation first."

They came to Boss Liu's bedroom, and a pungent smell of blood hit them. There was indeed a pool of dark red blood under the bed, which looked very strange.

Hu Bayi squatted down, carefully observed the blood, and said: "This blood doesn't look like human blood, but like the blood of some animal."

Wang Kaixuan frowned and said: "What animal's blood can flow out from under the bed? This is too strange."

Huo Jilin took out the compass, walked around the room, and observed the compass needle. Suddenly, the compass needle shook violently.

Huo Jilin's face changed, and he said, "The aura here is very abnormal, there is a strong yin energy."

Boss Liu said in horror: "Master, what is going on? I haven't done anything bad."

Huo Jilin said: "Boss Liu, don't panic. We will find out the reason as soon as possible. Think about it, has anything special happened recently? Or have you come into contact with any strange people or things?"

Boss Liu tried to recall, and suddenly, his eyes lit up and said: "I remember. About half a month ago, I bought a vase in an antique market. Since then, these strange things have begun to appear."

Hu Bayi said: "Vase? Is there something wrong with the vase?"

They came to the living room, and Boss Liu took out the vase. The vase looked very ordinary, nothing special.

Huo Jilin carefully observed the vase, and suddenly, he found some strange lines on the vase. These lines looked like a spell of evil magic.

Huo Jilin said, "There is something wrong with this vase. The pattern on it is a kind of evil spell, and it is very likely that someone has cast an evil spell on it."

Boss Liu turned pale with fear and said, "Master, what should I do then?"

Huo Jilin said, "We can get rid of this vase first, and then set up some Feng Shui formations in your home to dispel the evil spirit."

They took the vase to the yard and prepared to burn it. Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a puff of black smoke came out of the vase.

Wang Kaixuan was startled and said, "What the hell is this? It can also smoke."

Hu Bayi said, "Be careful, this may be the work of evil spirits."

They quickly picked up the peach wood sword and spell, ready to deal with the possible evil spirits. A hideous face gradually emerged from the black smoke, and a terrifying scream was heard.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan rushed up without hesitation, attacking the evil spirits with peach wood swords and spells. The evil spirits kept struggling, but gradually became weak under their attack.

Huo Jilin chanted a spell to strengthen the power of the Feng Shui formation. In the end, the evil spirit was completely defeated by them and disappeared into the air.

The vase was also burned to ashes. They set up some Feng Shui formations in Boss Liu's home to ensure that the Yin Qi was completely dispelled.

Boss Liu was grateful and said, "Masters, you are really my lifesavers. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do."

Huo Jilin said, "Boss Liu, be careful when buying antiques in the future. Some antiques may have been cast into evil spells, which will cause trouble."

Boss Liu nodded repeatedly and said, "I will definitely remember the master's words. I will never dare to buy antiques casually again."

Captain Long also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to you guys this time. Otherwise, this matter is really difficult to solve."

Then, since the matter was resolved, Huo Jilin and others left Boss Liu's home.

...

After Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan solved the evil incident in Boss Liu's house, they returned to the Feng Shui shop tired but with a sense of accomplishment.

As soon as he entered the store, Huo Jilin saw a sneaky figure rummaging around in the corner of the store. His eyes were stern, and he shouted, "Who's there?"

The figure was obviously shocked, and tried to escape in panic, but was quickly blocked by Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. Under the light, everyone saw the face of the uninvited guest, and it turned out to be Zhang Ermen, a well-known habitual criminal in the city.

Zhang Ermen was panicked and stammered, "I... I was just passing by and took a look."

Wang Kaixuan stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Ermen's collar, angrily saying, "You little thief, you still dare to quibble! Tell me, what do you want to steal from our store?"

Zhang Ermen was so scared that his face turned pale and said, "I... I didn't steal anything. I was really just confused for a moment. "

Huo Jilin looked at Zhang Ermen's appearance, suddenly laughed, and said: "Zhang Ermen, Zhang Ermen, you have come to this day. But how did you think of coming to my store to steal things?"

Zhang Ermen lowered his head, not daring to look at the eyes of the crowd, and said: "I... I have no choice. Someone forced me to come."

Hu Bayi frowned and said: "Someone forced you? Who would force you, a thief, to steal things?"

Zhang Ermen hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide. Huo Jilin saw his hesitation and said: "Zhang Ermen, if you tell the truth, we may be able to help you. But if you continue to hide it, don't blame us for being rude."

Zhang Ermen gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll tell you. I don't know who forced me to come. I just know that I suddenly came to your store like a demon and wanted to steal things. I feel that my body is out of control, as if it is controlled by someone. "

Huo Jilin's face became serious. He observed Zhang Ermen carefully again and found that his eyes did reveal a kind of confusion and helplessness. He said, "You may have been manipulated by puppets."

Wang Kaixuan said in surprise, "Puppet manipulation? What is this?"

Huo Jilin explained, "Puppet manipulation is a kind of evil magic that can control people's minds and behaviors. People who are affected by this evil magic will lose their self-awareness and be controlled by the caster."

Hu Bayi said, "So, Zhang Ermen was used as a pawn. Then we have to find the caster quickly, otherwise more people will be harmed."

Huo Jilin nodded and said, "That's right. Let's start with Zhang Ermen and see if we can find some clues."

They took Zhang Ermen to the inner room, asked him to sit down, and then began to ask him about his recent whereabouts and the people he had contacted.

Zhang Ermen tried to recall and said, "I have been wandering around the city recently and haven't come into contact with anyone special. Just last night, I met a strange old man in an alley.

The old man looked at me and smiled, and then I felt a fuzzy head, and I didn't remember what happened afterwards. ”

Huo Jilin said: "The old man is likely to be the caster. We have to find him."

They decided to investigate in the city and look for the strange old man.
