Chapter 147147 Old Ghost Grandpa
Tu Lanxun actually reduced his strength, but Sun Zhongyi still fell forward like a domino knocked over by his fingers, his hands frozen in mid-air, not knowing whether to grab Tu Lanxun or cover his ribs.
"Is it too heavy?" Tu Lanxun took two steps forward.
Mikhail's voice came from the direction of his elbow: "Don't worry, he can't be killed. There is something on this man."
Is that possessed?
Tu Lanxun looked carefully and found that there was a shadowy human figure embedded in Sun Zhongyi's body. If you didn't look closely, it would look like a double image caused by astigmatism.
"Blocker! Turn it to the maximum gear!" Tu Lanxun turned around and shouted.
"Okay, Consultant Tu." The staff member dispatched by the Tourism Administration behind Li Ao said, and immediately took out a bulky black plastic box that looked like a big mobile phone with shining eyes, pulled out the antenna, and turned it on with both hands.
The fourth contract was going crazy, and even if the jammer was turned to the maximum setting, it might not be effective. Tu Lanxun and Li Ao looked at each other, asked half of the police officers present to turn around, and asked the dispatched staff to look after their safety.
So Tu Lanxun stretched out his hands and actually reached directly into Sun Zhongyi's chest, as if through a pool of clear water, and took out the soul core that was shining with silver light but also had a hint of green, which obviously did not belong to Sun Zhongyi himself.
An old ghost, not young at all, was dragged off the ground. He hunched over and climbed up, then Tu Lanxun held him down with Mikhail's arm, "Don't move."
The old ghost laughed hoarsely: "Why shouldn't I move?"
Tu Lanxun was speechless. "Why don't you try to move? I'll have someone turn off the Section 4 blocker, and we'll watch you turn to ashes together."
The old ghost's eyes turned resentful, with the kind of rigid and paranoid hatred that only old consciousness possesses. He gnashed his teeth and said, "You damned living people!"
Tu Lanxun didn't react much, only thinking the old ghost looked familiar, and immediately put him into the standard eight-claw cage provided by the Tourism Administration. Over there, Li Ao was still observing Sun Zhongyi's condition.
"How about it?"
"He's not dead, just passed out. The condition isn't serious." Li Ao said as he took out handcuffs and handcuffed the unconscious Sun Zhongyi. He waved to Xiao Zhang and said, "Send him to the hospital for examination. Send two officers with ghost training to follow him. Contact Wen Chong and ask her to send one of Xiao Lu and Xiao Zhao over. We can't rule out the possibility that Sun Zhongyi has no connection to them."
Tu Lanxun continued to poke the octopus cage with a long metal spike. The old ghost kept screaming, but his screams were also mixed with a hint of laughter, which was very funny. "Ahahaha, hahahaha! Don't touch me! It's so itchy! Hahaha!"
"Who from the Tianguo Group sent you?" Tu Lanxun put his face closer to the cage and asked coldly.
"No, huh?" The old ghost rolled his eyes and answered with difficulty amidst wild laughter: "What Heavenly Kingdom Group? I've never heard of it!"
lie.
Tu Lanxun's eyes turned cold. If he really had never heard of the Tianguo Group, he would have been so busy laughing that he would not have had the time to answer such an irrelevant question.
Unless... his answer was prepared in advance.
But Tu Lanxun didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he continued to ask, "What happened in the public restroom?"
As of now, the data analysis device is still flashing outside the bathroom door, but no valid results have been obtained. They only know that there are both ghosts and people in the bathroom. There are at least three people, but the ghosts are unclear, and there may be many more people.
So the question is...is that person banging on the door now a ghost or a human? Why wasn't the ghost killed by the Fourth Treaty?
"Hahaha! I don't know! Maybe the real Wang Dahui is going to die!" The old ghost laughed hysterically, and this time his laughter contained a bit of real happiness besides the pain.
It was this genuine smile that made Tu Lanxun narrow her eyes and instantly lock onto the old ghost's identity. She walked over and handed the octopus cage to Li Ao, looked up and whispered two words in Li Ao's ear, and Li Ao's eyes lit up.
"I see."
"By the way, Captain Li, what time did this primary school report the case this morning?" Tu Lanxun asked.
Li Ao thought for a moment and said, "Almost an hour ago. Wang Dahui and others from the police station came directly to the principal's office to check on the situation. But before we could get a report on the situation, we received a call from Tian Feng from the security department, who then said that they discovered a problem with the toilet mid-session. That was probably less than half an hour ago."
Tu Lanxun suddenly looked at the closed bathroom door and said, "Something might have happened to them."
"Break the door now?"
"We have to do this. The worst has already happened. Police Officer Wang Dahui and Tian Feng from the school security department may have been 'swallowed' by the bathroom. There are other ghosts in there. The old ghost just now escaped by occupying Sun Zhongyi's body. If we don't rescue them..."
Tu Lanxun had already walked to the bathroom door, exchanged glances with the police officer holding the demolition tool, and raised his elbow.
Li Ao's eyebrows wrinkled instantly, and his face darkened. "The fourth treaty has taken effect excessively... The ghosts inside will kill anyone who sees them within half an hour at most to protect themselves..."
Inside the constantly bouncing bathroom door, the movement and sound of banging on the door gradually subsided, as if the people inside knew that breaking the door was hopeless and turned around to do or were forced to do more important things.
"Break!" Tu Lanxun mouthed the word, and Li Ao made a gesture. Tu Lanxun's elbow created bumps on the door panel, and the gap was instantly squeezed in by the demolition tool. In less than a second, the deformed door panel was clamped down.
The officers jumped in from the side, guns in hand. Their weapons and bullets were custom-made, specially developed and approved by the Tourism Administration. But with their guns pointed in all directions, facing the countless shadows in the bathroom, the officers didn't know who to target.
There was still the sound of running water in the bathroom. Since only the principal and two financial officers lived on this floor, this spacious bathroom was very clean. Due to the ventilation and water flow, the smell was a little fresher than the corridor.
There were two people lying on the ground, rolling around with their hands covering their noses and chests. They must have been hit by the door when it was broken open.
Tu Lanxun noticed with his sharp eyes that one of the two men was wearing the police station's standard inner shirt, and the other was wearing the dark uniform of the school security department. They must be Wang Dahui and Tian Feng.
And around Wang and Tian, there was actually a circle of small figures standing, with childish faces and gloomy expressions. Some were wearing children's casual clothes, and some were wearing school uniforms of different schools. However, these children were more or less dirty, and their body outlines were illusory. It was obvious that they were all ghosts.
Those little faces turned towards the door. Their faces were very cute, but they were stained, their expressions were cold, and there were even dried sugar marks and tear marks. Their eyes had a naive and cold feeling.
Among the armed police officers, there were also several who had children at home. Even if they didn't, they would hardly pull the trigger on those kids who were obviously still children.
Li Ao's brows twitched, but he kept a straight face and voice as he said, "Don't be distracted. Be ready at any time—"
Tu Lanxun was also startled. Her entire concept of ghosts came from Bai Xiaoju. So, what were the origins of these child ghosts?
Could it be that they are a group of child suicide squads being used by the Heavenly Kingdom Group?
"Captain Li, Consultant Tu, Wang Dahui and Tian Feng are all fine." A police officer squatted down and finished the inspection.
"Not possessed?"
"No. But there are handprints on the chest and back of Wang Dahui's shirt." The officer surveyed the surroundings and quickly reported, "Most of them are concentrated on the chest, shoulders, and wrists—the areas where you'd need to unbutton or turn your coat to take it off. Most of the handprints are very small, likely from children. I suspect they're too young to possess."
These little ghosts helped the old ghost take off Wang Dahui's coat, and then the old ghost possessed Sun Zhongyi, letting Sun Zhongyi put on Wang Dahui's coat and run out to impersonate Wang Dahui?
Why is this happening? Isn't it unnecessary?
Tu Lanxun couldn't figure it out for a moment.
The situation changed again. The little devils came up and surrounded Tu Lanxun as if they were playing a game. She was not afraid at all. She just raised her hand and asked the police officer not to shoot for the time being.
"Where's grandpa?" a little kid asked in a shrill voice.
The two little ghosts next to him also agreed, and even said fiercely: "Where did you take grandpa to?"
grandfather?
Tu Lanxun quickly realized that they were talking about that crazy old man.
She took a breath and was about to start a conversation with these little kids when she heard them all talking at once, and finally their voices all merged into one sentence in her mind.
"Give me back my grandpa!"
"Give me back my grandpa!"
"Give our grandfather back!"
Tu Lanxun looked at the childish faces and suddenly sneered, "Enough."
The leading kid had his lines interrupted and looked up with grievance.
Tu Lanxun pointed at the year on the other person's school uniform and said, "You started school two years earlier than me, which means you're two years older than me. Stop pretending to be young."
The surrounding police officers all showed surprised expressions, and then they realized that it is not easy for a ghost to change its appearance after death.
Even if a ghost dies a hundred years later, it is still a ghost. Its mind and personality may grow or even become distorted, but its appearance will always be that of a child.
The older kid in the lead frowned, but Tu Lanxun made a gesture just as he was speaking, and the police officers had already quietly stood in the four corners of the bathroom with instruments in hand.
Just now, the little ghosts were the ones who had walked into the trap, but now, they were distracted by Tu Lanxun and were surrounded by the whole pot.
Tu Lanxun sighed regretfully and said, "Let's talk again when we get back to the police station. I take back what I said. There are indeed quite a few of you who only grow in age but not in brains."
The older kid who was leading the group glared at her even more fiercely.
A truly naive little ghost, who must have been dead for less than two years, timidly asked, "Can we still see Grandpa?"
Well, "Grandpa" is not just a gimmick, the old ghost is indeed leading this group of little ghosts.
"If you all tell the truth, yes." Tu Lanxun smiled and patted the little ghost on the head.
The beams of light from the instrument closed in around them, and one by one, the little ghosts were placed in the octopus cage and taken away to the police car. Although Tu Lanxun and his companions had a dangerous trip, they unexpectedly returned with a "full load."
"What a great harvest." A police officer shrugged.
Tu Lanxun was about to go back to the principal's office where someone had died that morning. Li Ao was arranging for someone to escort Tian Feng and the real Wang Dahui to the hospital for examination. As usual, one of his hands was handcuffed.
Li Ao turned around and said, "Lu Lianbing has arrived at the hospital. Sun Zhongyi is fine."
Tu Lanxun was about to ask about that spirit when Li Ao came over, frowning and whispering to Tu Lanxun, "That old ghost... do you really know him?"
