Chapter 414: Digging up Infant Corpses
The curtains were fluttering, signaling that the ghostly entity had arrived.
The room was filled with a chilling gloom, accompanied by a strong, nauseating stench of blood wafting in the air.
Sun Wei was trembling with fear, her pale arm clinging tightly around Huang Xiaolong’s waist.
Whoosh~~~~~~
A chilling gust of wind finally breezed in from the window.
Huang Xiaolong looked up and saw a red-clothed female ghost stuck to the ceiling just like a gecko. Her face was hideous and terrifying, blood dripping from her entire body, forming thick, sticky pools on the floor.
“Damn it~~~” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat speechless.
He had originally planned to wait here for the purple-clothed ghost ‘Fangfang’ to come for the baby herself. But instead of Fangfang, a red-clothed female ghost, merely a pawn, showed up!
If he could eliminate Fangfang here and prevent her from evolving into the Ghost King, it would put an end to everything, but now, he was somewhat dissatisfied with this scapegoat that had appeared instead.
At this point, to the red-clothed female ghost, Huang Xiaolong, holding the decoy amulet, appeared to be a woman six months pregnant.
The red-clothed female ghost let out a creepy, eerie laugh and then directly pounced down from the ceiling, aiming right for Huang Xiaolong’s abdomen!

“Get lost!” Huang Xiaolong coldly retorted, raising his hand and blasting out a palm thunder!
Crackle~~~~~~
With a loud bang, a flash of electricity shot across the room. The red-clothed female ghost was blasted into pieces, her ghostly figure exploding into chunks of flesh scattered across the room, writhing and trying to reassemble.
“Ah~~~ Who are you? Who are you?” A bloody-red lip, crawling on the floor, let out a shrill, eerie sound, displaying extreme anger and resentment.
“Where is your boss? And what about that purple-clothed ghost, Fangfang? Why didn’t they come and sent such a garbage like you instead?” As Huang Xiaolong helped Sun Wei get out of bed, he turned on the bedside lamp.
“Heheh~~~Heheh~~~ The boss said there was a Taoist at the Carnival Hotel…he was right… He even broke the Ghost Blind spell, killing the ghosts on the 29th floor…” The bloody-red lip made a chilling sound. “Little Taoist, you want to break the boss’s ‘Nine Infants Evils Formation’? Such naivety…no one can stop Lady Fangfang from ascending the throne of the Ghost King! Tonight, Lady Fangfang will become…the ultimate Ghost King! Heheh~~ Coming here for the last fetus was not the boss’s first choice…Lady Fangfang personally went to the hospital…Right now, she might have already gotten the last fetus…The formation is about to start! You all are going to die! Tonight, you all will be sacrificed for Lady Fangfang! Heheh~~~~~”
“Damn it!” Huang Xiaolong, infuriated, casually burned an Exorcism Talisman, turning all the pieces of ghost-flesh in the room into ashes!
The red-clothed female ghost was utterly destroyed.
“Little Long! This… The boss of this Carnival Hotel is really crafty! He sent a ghost to the hotel to fetch the baby, and simultaneously sent Fangfang to the hospital to target pregnant women on her own…” Sun Wei said worriedly. “What should we do? What to do now?”
“Don’t worry…” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed, and he leapt up from the bed, “Sister Bai Hu, go wake up everyone in the Sun Family and gather them at the lobby downstairs!”
Having said this, Huang Xiaolong handed an amulet to Sun Wei and hurriedly ran out of the room.
The lobby on the first floor.
It was cold and gloomy with a few front desk ladies who worked the night shift dozing off in chairs, obviously exhausted to the core.
The flames protecting them had already extinguished one out of the three. If a ghost came to harm them at this point, they would undoubtedly die.
“Bang Bang Bang~~~” Huang Xiaolong rushed over, slapping the counter with his hand.
“Ah? Sir… Do…Do you need something?” The receptionists woke up and forcibly regained their spirits to stand up.
“Immediately notify every guest in this hotel to get out of bed and gather in the lobby.” Huang Xiaolong said seriously.
“Seriously? Sir… Are… Are you… Are you…” A receptionist enquired, her anger surfacing. She wanted to say ‘Have you lost your mind?’ to Huang Xiaolong, but as an employee, she couldn’t bring herself to say such offensive words to a guest. But it was clear that she didn’t plan on following Huang Xiaolong’s orders either.
Joking aside, it was 2 or 3 in the morning. Calling all the guests and asking them to gather in the lobby on the first floor… Doing such a thing would ruin the hotel’s reputation, wouldn’t it?
At this moment, the elevator opened and a group of people from the Sun Family, wearing pajamas, walked out from several elevators.
“Master Long, what’s going on… Weiwei said you need us to gather in the lobby immediately… Is there a problem?” Sun Hu asked, still half-asleep.
“What’s the fuss!” Sun Feng expressed dissatisfaction, “Big brother, if you want to mess around, you can do it yourself, there’s no need to drag us into it!”
“Ha-ha-ha~~ Messing around? You won’t even know how you died.” Huang Xiaolong looked outside the hotel door.
At this point, a dark aura began to gather from all directions, and the night sky was clouded, with a scent of impending rain. Every now and then, the loud cry of a baby could be heard from outside.
In reality, even if the “Nine Infants Evil Formation” was activated, Huang Xiaolong would be fine. It would, however, spell trouble for the living beings in this hotel.
If Huang Xiaolong had revealed the majesty and aura of a ghost, he could naturally protect the hotel guests, but that would be somewhat conspicuous and somewhat exhausting. So, Huang Xiaolong planned to prevent this human disaster at the smallest cost.
Now, the purple-ghost Fangfang could bury the last baby corpse into the formation at any moment, which meant that the “Nine Infants Evil Formation” could be activated at any time.
What Huang Xiaolong needed to do now was to break this formation in advance.
“Listen, do as I say now.” Huang Xiaolong’s expression turned serious. “Otherwise, if you get killed later, don’t blame me for not saving you!”
“Uh… Master Long, what exactly has happened?” Seeing Huang Xiaolong so serious, Sun Hu felt a pang in his heart.
Another second-generation Sun Family member also spoke sternly. “Master Long, before going out, the old man instructed us to follow your lead. Whatever arrangements you have, just let us know.”
The Sun Family elders hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong began to assign tasks. Some people stayed at the hotel, responsible for waking every guest and gathering them in the lobby on the first floor.
Another dozen people, including Sun Wei, found some digging tools in the hotel, and together with Huang Xiaolong, they went to the lamplight area diagonally opposite the hotel.
Marble slabs lay under the lamplight.
The light was dim, the sky was starless and moonless.
Huang Xiaolong walked a few steps, pointed to an area, and commanded the Sun Family members holding shovels and picks. “Come on, hurry up and dig, start digging from here…”
After saying that, Huang Xiaolong looked at the Carnival Hotel and saw that dark clouds were swirling above it and dead air was stirring in all directions.
“Master Long, what are we supposed to dig for?” Sun Hu asked suspiciously.
“Stop asking, just dig!” Huang Xiaolong urged. “Dig for baby corpses.”
