"Possessed? Utterly absurd!"
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, the physician Xue sneered disdainfully.
"Young man, if you truly love traditional Chinese medicine, I advise you to study and learn with humility, rather than associating it with feudal superstition. You are merely seeking attention!"
Mayor Mo wore an expression of utter disbelief. He had no desire to waste more words with Chen Xiao. He pointed at Wang Hu Zi and said in a low voice, "You, quickly take your people and get out of here. Scram as far as you can!"
Wang Hu Zi was indignant, his neck stiff as he retorted, "You tell me to leave and I have to leave? On what grounds? This is the old man's home, not yours!"
"You still have the nerve to ask me on what grounds?"
Mayor Mo glared at him fiercely. "Listen to what he's saying. He claims the old man is possessed. The old man is perfectly fine, how can he be possessed?"
Mayor Mo's statement left Wang Hu Zi speechless. He could only look at Chen Xiao helplessly, "Mr. Chen, this..."
After all, Old Man Mo was sitting soundly on the bed, not appearing possessed at all.
Chen Xiao chuckled and asked dismissively, "Do you think possession must manifest as being delirious and foolish?"
"Otherwise?"
Mayor Mo retorted as a matter of course.
Chen Xiao ignored him and turned to look at Old Man Mo.
"Old Mo, let me ask you, have you been feeling weak all over recently? Feeling sleepy during the day, unable to sleep well at night, and often waking up from nightmares? After waking, you feel a tightness in your chest, unable to breathe properly!"
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Physician Xue, Mayor Mo, and Old Man Mo all stared blankly.
"You, how did you know?"
Old Man Mo asked incredulously. What Chen Xiao had said was almost identical to his own description of his condition.
Chen Xiao stated calmly, "As I said, your condition is all written on your face. I can tell at a glance!"
Although Old Man Mo found it hard to believe, he was also deeply impressed.
Mayor Mo, however, let out a cold laugh, as if he had suddenly understood. "I get it. It must be that when the old man was describing his condition to Physician Xue just now, you were eavesdropping outside!"
"You're spouting nonsense!"
Mayor Mo's repeated insults to Chen Xiao made Wang Hu Zi unable to hold back. He cursed loudly, "We hadn't even arrived when the old man described his condition. We didn't hear anything at all!"
Mayor Mo thought back and realized that it was indeed as Wang Hu Zi said.
But he still insisted, "Who knows if you deliberately eavesdropped outside the door?"
Hearing this, Wang Hu Zi burst into laughter. "Mo Jun Sheng, Mo Jun Sheng, listen to yourself. Even a ten-year-old child would find such words childish. As a distinguished mayor, you can utter such things?"
"I..."
These words were indeed like something a stubborn child would say. Mayor Mo's face immediately flushed red, and he felt utterly ashamed.
At this moment, Physician Xue said, "Young man, you keep saying that Mr. Mo is possessed. How can you prove it, or rather, can you treat it?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said casually, "It's very simple."
Seeing Chen Xiao's arrogance, Physician Xue frowned. "What's simple? Proving it or treating it?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Both are very simple!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao took out his acupuncture needles and said to Old Mo, "Old Mo, the treatment process might be a bit frightening, please don't be scared!"
Old Mo laughed heartily. "Little fellow, I've seen all sorts of storms in my life. How could I be scared by a treatment? You can proceed with confidence!"
Trusting Wang Jun Yang, his adopted son, Old Mo placed his complete faith in Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao was not hesitant. He drew out seven acupuncture needles and moved with lightning speed. He first inserted them into the Shen Ting, Bai Hui, and Shang Xing acupoints on Old Man Mo's head.
Then came the Wan Gu, Tian Zhu, and Si Shen Cong acupoints!
The last needle was inserted into the Hou Ding acupoint at the back of his head!
With the seven needles in place, Old Man Mo's head looked like a hedgehog!
Seeing this, Physician Xue's gaze became serious.
"Is this... the Seven Star Divine Needles?"
Mayor Mo was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Physician Xue, do you know this acupuncture technique? Is there anything special about it? Is this kid just putting on a show?"
"Putting on a show?"
Physician Xue gave a wry smile. "Mayor Mo, I may have underestimated this young man. His medical skills are exceptionally high. At least, I cannot perform this Seven Star Divine Needles technique."
"You can't perform it?"
Mayor Mo's eyes showed suspicion. He secretly glanced at Wang Hu Zi, thinking to himself, "Could it be that he's actually invited a master this time?"
At this moment, Old Mo looked relaxed and asked Chen Xiao with a smile, "Young man, is this what you call frightening?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly. "Old Mo, don't be in a hurry. The truly frightening part hasn't begun yet!"
Saying that, he gathered his spiritual energy into his middle finger and flicked the acupuncture needle on the Hou Ding acupoint...
*Buzz—*
The needle began to vibrate, emitting a buzzing sound. Along with this sound wave, the other six needles resonated with it, also vibrating.
In an instant, Old Mo felt as if his soul was about to leave his body. He felt like seven electric drills were drilling into his scalp simultaneously. Although it didn't hurt, the vibrating sensation was chilling.
Old Mo felt as if his soul was about to be ripped out.
Seeing Old Mo's expression gradually become strained, Chen Xiao felt a mischievous urge in his heart. "You can't take this yet? The truly terrifying part hasn't even started!"
Chen Xiao felt that the time was about right. He reached out and pulled the seven needles out of Old Man Mo's head. As the needles were pulled out, seven streams of black smoke emerged from the top of Old Man Mo's head.
Upon seeing this, the four people present, apart from Chen Xiao, were all stunned...
"What, what is happening, Physician Xue?"
Mayor Mo asked with a trembling voice. The scene was too unbelievable, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.
Physician Xue had never seen such a scene before. He was already pale with fright, stammering, "This, this, this... I, I don't know either..."
Old Mo rolled his eyes upwards, looking as if he were being held captive, not daring to move.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, thinking, "The truly terrifying part is about to officially begin!"
"Woooo—"
"Wuwuwu—"
Suddenly, from within the black smoke, came sounds of ghostly wails and howls.
Mayor Mo's eyes widened, almost wetting himself from fright.
It seemed this kid was right. His father was indeed possessed!
No, this wasn't just possession, this was likely encountering a ghost!
