Chu Luo frowned and asked, “What do you mean by ‘seems to have’?”
At this moment, someone else picked up Tang Zhiyun’s phone. It was Wu Yiyao.
Wu Yiyao said anxiously, “Little Chu, that kind of thing is causing trouble in Little Tang’s company. Where are you now? Can you come over?”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Chu Luo hung up after saying that. She lifted the blanket and said to Li Yan, “Something went into Senior Tang’s company. I’ll go take a look.”
Li Yan was about to put down his laptop.
Chu Luo said to him, “Go busy yourself. I’ll be back in at most an hour.”
Li Yan frowned. “What happened there is probably caused by the same person who planted the Gu worm in your teacher’s brain.”
“Mm, I know.”
Li Yan thought for a moment but didn’t stand up. He quickly typed on the computer and said, “I’ll monitor all the surveillance equipment over there while you’re there. If you still haven’t come back in an hour, I’ll come and look for you.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo changed her clothes and asked Phoenix to teleport her to Tang Zhiyun’s company.
At this moment, it was very quiet outside the company door. From the outside, it was dark inside, as if there was nothing in there.
Chu Luo stood by the door and didn’t push it open immediately. Her face was filled with anger.
“Since you like to hide behind and harm others so much, don’t ever let me find out who you are. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it.”
After saying that, she opened her palm and a red light floated above it.
In the next second, the red light quickly spread in all directions.
Soon, there were screams coming from inside.
At this moment, Chu Luo pushed open the door. Inside, a ball of black aura transformed into various shapes that were rolling and wailing. Then, they quickly disappeared.
In the place where the thickest black aura dissipated, a few things fell.
What had fallen were actually squirming Gu worms.
Chu Luo walked to the Gu worm and snorted coldly. She slapped a ball of flames over.
Those Gu worms were instantly burned to ashes.
The lights in the office suddenly lit up.
At this moment, the office door was pulled open.
Wu Yiyao and the others obviously heaved a sigh of relief and walked out.
“Little Chu.”
“Junior.”
Chu Luo looked at them and asked, “Are you guys okay?”
“We’re fine.” Wu Yiyao strode over and told her what they had just experienced. “Previously, everyone was adjusting the computer program when the entire office suddenly darkened. We felt that something was wrong, so we went into the office. Not long after, many terrifying voices came from outside the office.”
Xie Mingtao replied in a frightened tone, “Also, something bumped into our office door. Luckily, those things didn’t enter the office.”
“They can’t enter.”
Chu Luo looked at them and said, “Previously, I gave each of you a talisman to ensure your safety.”
The four of them subconsciously took out the talisman they were wearing.
The moment they took it out, their expression changed.
“The talisman actually turned black!”
“It’s fine.” Chu Luo walked towards the office window. “I’ll give each of you another one.”
Chu Luo stood by the window and looked out. It was the main road outside with a lot of cars. She couldn’t tell what was wrong.
Chu Luo asked, “Did any strangers come here today?”
The four of them thought for a moment and Tang Zhiyun said, “The delivery man was here.”
“Where did you throw your takeout boxes?”
“They have already been taken away by the cleaner.”
Chu Luo didn’t ask further, but her expression was a little cold.
The few of them were unsure.
Wu Yiyao frowned and asked, “Little Chu, is there someone who can’t stand Little Tang and the others and wants to do something to their company?”
These words made Tang Zhiyun and the others even more nervous.
Chu Luo pursed her lips and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she took out four talismans from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and handed them to them before saying, “I’ll get Yan to send people to investigate this matter.”
She planned to set up an array formation in the company that would prevent those things from entering again. She said to the few of them, “Don’t stay here tonight.”
The five of them nodded.
Tang Zhiyun and the others went to the office to pack their things. Wu Yiyao asked in a low voice, “Little Chu, what are these things trying to do to Little Tang and the others?”
Chu Luo thought for a while before telling her, “Someone wants to cast Gu poison on them.”
“What?” Wu Yiyao frowned. “Did Little Tang and the others really offend someone?”
“No, the person who cast the Gu poison must be after Yan.”
Wu Yiyao looked at her in confusion.
“Someone wants to control him. There’s no one on Yan’s side who that person can threaten him with, so he targeted me.”
Wu Yiyao was relieved.
“Sister Wu, don’t worry. Since these people don’t succeed at the first attempt, they won’t have a second chance.”
She glanced at the office door and said, “Let them stay in the office for a while. I’ll set up an array here.”
Wu Yiyao nodded and walked towards the office.
Chu Luo waited for Wu Yiyao to close the office door before taking out a few talismans and throwing them at the wall in four directions.
A few rays of red light flashed, and the entire magnetic field in the office changed drastically.
A few talismans disappeared into the wall.
Chu Luo went to a few other spots to move the decorations.
After a while, she pushed open the office door and said to them, “Let’s go. I’ll send you back.”
The boys each carried a computer bag and the six of them walked downstairs.
Their office building was on the third floor and they could take the stairs.
When they went downstairs, Chu Luo observed the entire corridor and said to them, “Go to the Flower Bird Market tomorrow and buy a pot of peach trees to put in the office.”
“Why buy peach trees?” Xu Qingfeng was puzzled.
Xie Minghai said to him, “Stupid, peach trees’ branches ward off evil. Junior must be asking us to buy peach trees to ward off evil.”
Yu Lei scratched his head. “Shouldn’t peach branches be used to ward off evil spirits? Can peach trees that were made into potted plants ward off evil spirits?”
Chu Luo smiled. “You guys run a company. A peach tree in the office can ward off evil spirits and give you peaches to eat at the same time. Isn’t that great?”
The few of them suddenly recalled the photo of Chu Luo eating peaches at the monastery outside the city last time and suddenly understood.
Xie Mingtao smiled and said, “Junior, did you ask us to buy a peach tree potted plant because you wanted to eat peaches?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and snorted tsunderely.
“Hahaha…”
When they reached downstairs, Chu Luo asked, “How are you guys going back?”
Tang Zhiyun pointed at the bikes parked beside them. “We rode bikes.”
He then pointed at Wu Yiyao’s car. “Teacher Little Wu drove here.”
Chu Luo nodded. “I’ll leave with Sister Wu. You guys can ride the bike.”
With that, she got into the car with Wu Yiyao.
In order to accommodate the boys on the bikes, Wu Yiyao drove very slowly.
Chu Luo thought of what Professor Wu had said to her, so she asked about it.
Wu Yiyao nodded. “Yes, I feel like there’s something around my father’s apartment.”
“Let’s go take a look later.” At this point, Chu Luo asked her, “Are you going back to the old district at this time?”
“Mm, my father won’t come out of the technology building until eleven. I’ll wait until then to leave with him every night.”
When they returned to Imperial University, the boys continued to ride their bikes towards their dormitory building. Wu Yiyao drove towards the professors’ residential area.
Wu Yiyao asked worriedly, “Little Chu, do you think those things will cause trouble at Imperial University when they reach my father’s apartment building?”
At this point, her expression tightened. “What if there are so many children?”
“Sister Wu, don’t worry.” At this moment, there weren’t many students walking on the school path. The car drove in smoothly.
Chu Luo said, “Imperial University is filled with Yang energy. They don’t dare to come.”
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at the professors’ residential area.
The professors’ residential area was already very quiet. The professors who lived here had already fallen asleep.
The car stopped in the parking lot and the two of them walked towards Professor Wu’s apartment.
When they reached the bottom of the apartment building, Chu Luo made Wu Yiyao stop. “No need to go up. I left something in the apartment last time. That thing can’t enter. The danger you feel should be around.”
Wu Yiyao nodded.
Chu Luo walked towards the back of the apartment building and Wu Yiyao followed her.
Behind the apartment building was a small park. The leaves in the park had basically all fallen. It was bare and looked a little bleak under the dim streetlights.
Chu Luo walked to the apartment building facing Professor Wu’s apartment building and stopped. She first looked around and realized that there was a strap on a tree facing the window of the apartment building.
She jumped up and took off the strap.
Wu Yiyao was stunned by Chu Luo’s ability to jump a few meters high. When she saw the black strap in her hand, she raised her voice. “Little Chu, that bad feeling came again. Is it because of this strap?”
“Yeah.”
“What strap is this?”
“It’s not a strap.”
Chu Luo tapped her finger on it and a terrifying situation happened…
