"Half a layer? How is that possible?" Liu Yiyi looked at Xiao Yefeng in confusion. However, from Xiao Yefeng's expression, which showed no hint of joking, Liu Yiyi couldn't discern any humor. She took out her phone, but the empty signal bars left her feeling bewildered.
Seeing Liu Yiyi's expression and her phone with no signal, Xiao Yefeng said, "Let's go to the first floor to make a call. How could you not know this basic common sense? It's strange to expect a signal on the Underground Fifth Floor!"
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng reached out and gently pushed the back of the Two Goddesses as they left. However, no one could see that as he did so, he formed a protective spell with his hands in the air. When he pushed the Two Goddesses, the spell enveloped them, ensuring that they remained safe in the dense malevolent energy of the basement.
In a café on the third floor, Xiao Yefeng and his companions waited for an older employee holding a stack of blueprints. This employee was clearly over fifty years old, his gray hair indicating his age. Upon seeing the Two Goddesses, he first addressed Mei Mo'er, saying, "Sister, I didn't expect you to be here! Here are the blueprints you requested!"
He handed the blueprints to Mei Mo'er, but she pushed them toward Xiao Yefeng. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng disregarded everything else and opened the sealed bag to examine it. The older employee remarked, "Young man, this isn't something you should be looking at; it's confidential."
He attempted to snatch the blueprints back from Xiao Yefeng's hands. However, Mei Mo'er interjected, "Uncle Liang, this is Sister Yi Yi's geomancer. He suspects there might be issues with this building's construction and has our agreement."
Mei Mo'er's words eased Liang Xin's concerns. Yet suddenly recalling what Mei Mo'er had just said, Liang Xin exclaimed in surprise, "What! You mean there's a problem with the building we constructed? Young man, do you know how many architects collaborated on these designs?"
Xiao Yefeng paid no mind to Liang Xin's retort. After grabbing the design plans for the Underground Fifth Floor and examining the foundation layout, he closed his eyes and began visualizing the entire underground structure of the building in his mind. The three-dimensional image of the foundation spun continuously in his thoughts until a peculiar location appeared within it. Suddenly opening his eyes, he looked at Liang Xin and asked, "Uncle, I have a question."
"Ask away! As long as it's about this building's structure, I can tell you anything!" Liang Xin replied angrily. This composite building was Liang Xin's proudest design; being part of its creation was his greatest honor. Naturally, he was upset that this young man questioned his achievements.
"Alright then," Xiao Yefeng continued while looking directly into Liang Xin's eyes. "Is there a special space measuring three feet long by three feet wide and ten feet deep in the Underground Fifth Floor?"
At that moment, Liang Xin was taken aback by Xiao Yefeng's question and replied incredulously, "How could that be? Such a space would serve no purpose; it can't bear weight or—"
Before Liang Xin could finish his sentence, Xiao Yefeng interrupted him. "If that's the case, then we have nothing more to discuss. Mei Mo'er, let this uncle go back now; take these design plans with you as well. However, what I need from you are these blueprints drawn merely for inspection purposes; there should be another set of actual design plans."
"Young man, who are you? How do you know all this?" Liang Xin looked at Mei Mo'er and then glanced at Liu Yiyi before speaking.
"Me? Didn't I already tell you? I am a Geomancer!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Uncle Liang, just tell him everything you know. He has a way to solve the problems here!" Liu Yiyi set down her cup and spoke up.
At that moment, Liang Xin finally sighed in relief after receiving Liu Yiyi's permission and said, "I’m not sure about everything. I only know that when it was established, an old Taoist came to the construction site, left a few workers behind to lay the foundation, and then drove us all away. That Taoist was a master invited by the Liu Family, and we didn’t dare offend him, so we left! However, it was only a short time—about four or five minutes—and that master came out with those workers."
"But after they came out, those workers only remembered leaving a pit that was ninety-nine centimeters wide, ninety-nine centimeters long, and three meters deep. However, no one could remember where it was. This was also quite strange at the time; everyone searched afterward, but they found nothing on the entire underground fifth floor. This matter just ended there."
After hearing Liang Xin's words, Xiao Yefeng understood that the master hadn’t made a mistake and had personally set up an array to suppress the Vengeful Spirit here. But why had strange occurrences been happening here for over a month? Moreover, the remaining Vengeful Spirits had coalesced into malevolent energy causing trouble—it shouldn't be like this!
With all the information gathered, Xiao Yefeng led Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er back to the Underground Fifth Floor. This time, even without activating his Yin-Yang Eye, he could see that Yin Qi was pervasive in the Underground Fifth Floor. At that moment, the Two Goddesses remarked, "Why is it even colder here than before?"
How could it not be cold? Just moments ago, Xiao Yefeng had used his Bagua Mirror to search for the core of the malevolent energy, which had already angered it. This was a warning to Xiao Yefeng, hoping he would retreat. However, Xiao Yefeng remained unfazed. After checking that the protective charms of the Two Goddesses were still intact, he said, "You two step back; I will look for the core of the malevolent energy!"
The Bagua Mirror that had been hidden in his sleeve appeared in Xiao Yefeng's palm with a flick of his wrist. He spread his fingers to grasp its edges as the Yin-Yang Fish behind him spun rapidly like an engine. As he watched the surface of the Bagua Mirror shift continuously in response to the direction and intensity of the spinning Yin-Yang Fish, the Bagua Diagram on its front began to flicker until a point of malevolent energy appeared above in the direction of a cold storage room in the southeast corner.
Moving his body, Xiao Yefeng led the Two Goddesses to stand before the cold storage door. However, a strange scene unfolded: this place that should have been the coldest actually emanated a gentle warmth. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng lightly touched the cold storage door with a finger from his palm; indeed, there was no trace of malevolent energy. He then said, "It’s right here. Whose cold storage is this?"
"Huh!" The Two Goddesses exhaled to warm themselves. Hearing Xiao Yefeng's question, Liu Yiyi glanced at a sign nearby and replied, "Liyang Meat Industry! This cold storage is rented by someone from the Zhu Family. It’s so cold here; we should leave quickly!"
"How can we leave? The problem lies within this cold storage! Find someone to unlock it! I need to go inside!" Xiao Yefeng insisted.
"But we don't have the right to open another company's warehouse!" Mei Mo'er said.
"Then it's because the air circulation system inside the warehouse is broken. To protect the interests of the business, we have no choice but to open it for repairs," Liu Yiyi replied as she took out a specialized intercom to call a few people from the engineering department.
With the tools cutting through, the main door was opened. Indeed, there were no refrigerated goods inside; just an empty warehouse. However, the electric meter inside was not running at all, and the temperature was at least twenty degrees below zero, which was illogical. After searching the warehouse for a while, Bagua Mirror and Yin-Yang Eye combined, and Xiao Yefeng found the focal point of the formation.
Crouching on the ground, Xiao Yefeng noticed that this particular tile was indeed different from the others. Although there was no obvious difference, it was clearly newly installed. He instructed Liu Yiyi to send away the workers who had opened the door and picked up a pickaxe to start digging at this tile.
Sure enough, beneath the tile was a newly excavated hole. The moment Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er saw the hole, their admiration for Xiao Yefeng surged instantly, almost reaching the level of Lu Zhan in Liu Yiyi's heart. Of course, Mei Mo'er might have already elevated Xiao Yefeng to a status even higher than Lu Zhan.
Under the bright beam of a flashlight, what lay inside came into view. Below the hole was a statue of a Furious Arhat holding a Demon-Subduing Pestle. However, at that moment, the Furious Arhat's eyes had been pierced by two Steel Needles, and as Xiao Yefeng broke open the tile, the Demon-Subduing Pestle shattered in his hands. Subsequently, the ceramic body of the Furious Arhat also crumbled into pieces along with it, scattering across the entire offering table.
Just then, a rush of cold air surged toward Xiao Yefeng. Standing at the edge of the hole, he dropped the pickaxe and flipped his hand to hold the Bagua Mirror while turning his other hand with Yin-Yang Fish, sending a beam of golden light into the deep pit.
