The general manager went to visit the Taoist in the morning, but the Taoist had already left.
However, he left behind a note and several talismans.
The Taoist said that he had been tirelessly drawing these talismans over the past two days to help them.
These talismans had the effect of preventing ghostly entities from invading, and could be affixed to the external walls around the house to form an array to drive away ghosts.
Originally, it should have been enough to deal with the evil ghost.
But he had not expected that eight people would turn against each other, sacrificing their companion to the evil ghost, thereby enhancing the evil ghost's powers.
His cultivation was not deep, so, he had no assurance that these hastily made talismans could withstand the now enhanced evil ghost.
To avoid getting involved, he left these talismans behind and departed early.
He hoped that those still alive would look out for themselves.
