Chapter 128: Ghost Soldiers

"It's either him or me. At least one of us is going to die anyway. It doesn't make any difference!"

Another big fat face squeezed into the screen, and everyone realized that there was another person next to the contractor. It’s just that this person had not made any sound before, so his existence was not noticed.

After saying this, the fat man snatched the phone away. "Xiao Li praised you so much, saying you're amazing. Please, give me two talismans right away, or we might not even make it through the night."

The fat man spoke with a strong accent.

Shi Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Boss of Gangcheng? It seems like this is quite a big project for you guys."

"Of course!" Speaking of this, the fear on the fat man's face faded a little, and a smug look spread across his brows and eyes. "This is a major project with an investment of 200 million yuan. Hundreds of people rely on me for their livelihood."

"Boss, now is not the time to talk about this. Can you please return my phone to me first so that I can explain the situation to Miss Shi?"

There was some helplessness in the contractor's tone.

However, it can be seen that he really depends on this Hong Kong boss for his livelihood. The black air has spread to the top of his head, almost covering his eyes, but he still speaks politely.

The boss was pretty easy to talk to, though. He realized he'd done something unnecessary and knew he had to correct it immediately. He quickly returned the phone and said, "Go ahead and tell me, Xiao Li. Our survival tonight depends on you!"

The contractor, known as Xiao Li, gave a forced smile. "Miss Shi, our situation right now is... a little dangerous. Could you please guarantee our safety for the time being? That way, I can explain everything to you."

[Not bad, he seems to be clear-headed.]

Compared to the other contractors I've met before, this contractor is indeed more methodical. No wonder he's leading a construction team at such a young age.

Don't underestimate the foreman. Leading a construction team is no easy task.

[Yes, and this person looks very young. The capable ones in the construction team are usually a bit older and very unruly.]

However, Shigure just nodded, seemingly doing nothing, "Okay, go ahead."

"Ah?" Xiao Li was a little confused. "But Miss Shi, those things are outside now. I..."

"I said, you can tell me now."

Shi Yu raised his head and smiled at the two people in the picture.

Xiao Li and the fat man didn't know where they were hiding. It looked like a space that was not very spacious, but it was not indoors either. It was more like it was between two buildings. In the inky night, a little light could still be seen.

Xiao Li just frowned and was about to fight for himself when a reflection of metal flashed into his eyes.

The two of them immediately covered their mouths tightly, and even breathed very slowly, as if any louder movement would attract something that shouldn't be there.

But no matter how careful the two were, a series of heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Yes, a series.

[What the hell is this? I'm getting nervous even through the screen...]

[What orderly footsteps! The last time I heard such orderly footsteps was when I went to visit my boyfriend in the army.]

[What else could it be? A ghost.]

Not only netizens, but even Shi Yu squinted her eyes curiously. For some reason, even her clairvoyance couldn't see the whole picture instantly.

This proves that this thing did not just happen. Even if it is a ghost, it is an old ghost.

And there is more than one.

Fortunately, Xiao Li was sensible. He knew what everyone was interested in just by looking at the barrage. While covering his mouth, he did not forget to reverse the camera of his mobile phone.

A few seconds later, a group of well-equipped soldiers walked straight towards the two of them, muttering something faintly.

It was a team of ten people, and there were obvious embroidery marks on their armor. Except for the leader whose features could still be barely seen, the remaining nine were just white skeletons under their armor.

"It's over, it's over, there's no getting away now!"

There was a tearful tone in the fat boss's voice, but Xiao Li didn't blame him for making a sound at this time.

Xiao Li could see that this team was coming towards them with a clear goal and without even a hint of hesitation. In this situation, it didn't matter whether they made any sound or not.

They have been discovered.

However, it was beyond Xiao Li's expectations.

The team suddenly stopped about two meters away from them and stood there for a long time without moving. There was a look of confusion in the eyes of the ghost general leading the team.

It's like suddenly losing your goal.

After waiting for more than a minute, the Ghost General must have heard some calling voice. He looked hesitantly in the direction where the two people were hiding, and finally led his team away from this area.

Only then did Xiao Li's breath of anger slowly subside.

Looking at the two men sweating profusely, Shi Yu was a little hesitant.

Should she tell them that even if the two of them walked out in a swagger, they wouldn't be discovered?

"Actually, it's okay even if you walk out. I've already isolated the aura of living people from you. Those ghost soldiers can't sense your presence."

Forget it, it would be troublesome for the two of them to communicate with each other when they are so shocked. Let’s just calm the person down first.

"Miss Shi, are you saying those ghost things were ghost soldiers?" Xiao Li was stunned for a moment. "But don't ghost soldiers appear in deep mountains and old forests? Although this is not the city center, it is still a prosperous area. How could ghost soldiers appear here?"

Shi Yu shrugged lightly, "That depends on what you've done."

"Master! You can't talk nonsense. We are all honest businessmen. We wouldn't dare to do anything sneaky or dishonest! We wouldn't dare!"

The fat boss waved his hands repeatedly, but soon paused. "Although I haven't done anything bad, I did do one strange thing!"

"Xiao Li, you still remember that coffin two months ago!"

After the fat boss's reminder, Xiao Li seemed to remember what he said, but he obviously didn't think the two things were related. "It's common to dig up coffins at construction sites, and the body hasn't even completely decayed yet. The two things shouldn't be related."

"Boss, these things look very old. They are definitely not modern products. You should remember that the corpse was wearing a suit."
