Mo Haihao explained, "It’s the Primordial Spirit leaving the body, not becoming a ghost!"
Shen Cang’s gaze wandered into the distance, already unable to see the Ghost-faced People.
"Quickly return to the Ancient Castle." After Shen Cang said this, he turned back into a strand of white hair and returned to the glass bottle.
Mo Haihao sighed, "This operation cost me two strands of white hair."
Little Taotie stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, blinked, and in a milky voice asked, "Does he lose hair every time he uses his powers?"
Mo Haihao nodded, "It depends on the situation. This time I didn’t make a move, just showing up scared the Ghost-faced Person away, at most costing two strands. If I had taken action, I probably would have lost quite a bit more hair."
Little Taotie quickly chewed the chocolate in his mouth and mumbled, "Then won’t he go bald very soon?"
"You’d better not say that in front of him."
Little Taotie obediently nodded and looked towards the trembling Little Ghost, "Should we take it back with us?"
Mo Haihao nodded, and as he chanted a spell, the Little Ghost was sucked into the Talisman, which slowly floated back into Mo Haihao’s palm.
"Let’s go, back to the Ancient Castle first."
Little Taotie was led by the hand into the car, and as the car started and drove away, the abandoned hospital grew smaller in sight. Suddenly, Little Taotie turned her head and saw the figure of a Ghost-faced Person appearing in front of the tiny hospital, waving at her.
"It’s the Ghost-faced Person!" Little Taotie shouted.
Mo Haihao stepped on the brakes, looked back, but saw only the abandoned hospital with no sign of the Ghost-faced Person.
Mo Haihao pressed the accelerator again, speeding up the car.
Little Taotie grumbled, "He was just there, how did he disappear in an instant?"
Back at the Ancient Castle, Hua Jinyan was the first to rush over, frantically checking Little Taotie. Seeing she was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Cang descended the stairs unhurriedly, "Mo Haihao, come with me."
Mo Haihao patted Little Taotie’s head and followed Shen Cang upstairs.
After Mo Haihao left, the idle team members gathered around, asking Little Taotie what had happened.
Little Taotie didn’t know whether to speak, hesitated, but then Hua Jinyan stuffed a lollipop into her mouth and frowned at everyone, "Are you all free?"
Everyone met the young boy’s deep gaze, and unexpectedly, no one spoke for a moment, it was particularly quiet.
Hua Jinyan took Little Taotie by the hand and walked away.
By the time everyone came to their senses and wanted to follow, the young boy had already taken the little girl into the archives, locking the door from the inside.
"What exactly happened?" The First Team Captain muttered, "I sensed the Primordial Spirit leaving the body."
The Second Team Captain leaned in, "Better ask the boss directly, that little boy is not simple."
The First Team Captain nodded, "He has a strong presence."
The Seventh Team Captain came over with a large plate and after searching for a while, puzzled, "Where’s Zaizai?"
"Give me a piece!" The First Team Captain reached out for the lamb chops.
The Seventh Team Captain dodged and humphed, "This is what I bought with my money! It’s only for Zaizai!"
The First Team Captain pouted, "Stingy!"
The Seventh Team Captain, "In the whole bureau, you’re the richest, I’m not as wealthy and extravagant as you!"
The First Team Captain chuckled sheepishly and said in front of everyone, "Tomorrow I’ll fill up the bureau’s fridges, is that okay?"
Cheers went up from the crowd.
The Seventh Team Captain reluctantly picked out the smallest piece of lamb chop and handed it to him.
The First Team Captain, gnawing on the lamb chop, pointed in the direction of the archives, "He’s in there."
The Seventh Team Captain, holding the large plate, approached the archives door and knocked.
Little Taotie’s nose was very sensitive, she blinked her big eyes, "It’s the smell of roasted lamb chops!"
Outside, the Seventh Team Captain grinned, "Zaizai, it’s me!"
"It’s Seventh Brother!" Little Taotie hurriedly opened the door to let him in.
Hua Jinyan, indifferent, "Put the things down, you can leave."
