Chapter 4 Don't Worship the Wild People on the Roadside
As he stepped out of the elevator, recalling the information in his files, Teng Su spotted a person sitting alone on a sofa. He was so handsome that everyone passing by couldn't help but take a second look.
Teng Su was a little surprised. Wasn't he an employee of Luo's?
The next scene is even more magical.
The familiar big guy ran over with an excited look on his face. The two of them talked about something, then turned around and left.
"What has Lu Zhi been doing recently?"
Teng Su called the head of security, who quickly replied, "He might be under a lot of psychological pressure recently. Let him rest well and come back to work after he's recovered."
There must be some psychological pressure in knocking the boss unconscious.
But thanks to Lu Zhi's pounce in the parking lot, in his previous life, his soul was directly separated from his body, and he became a cheat for others, and finally almost died. In this life, it was a coincidence that he was pounced back from his previous life.
Thinking back to the divine punch from a while ago, Teng Su felt a little confused again. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, no one except Shangguan Yue could hear his voice, and no one else could sense his existence. He also had never seen any other souls, so for a long time he thought he was dreaming.
Unless someone did something to him and pretended to be ignorant the whole time, it would be impossible to explain why his soul was knocked back into his body by a punch when it involuntarily searched for Shangguan Yue that day.
In his previous life, Special Assistant Qin had never shown such special abilities.
Teng Su's tone grew colder as he spoke. "Go investigate the relationship between Lu Zhi and the Luo family, as well as the secretary around Luo Nanchen. Find out everything together."
Unaware of his own flaws, Qin was diligently learning how to prune branches and coordinate colors. Beside him, Lu Zhi, sweat dripping from his forehead, looked a bit bewildered. "Master, we..."
"No rush." Qin Qinsen signaled him not to rush.
The two were currently sitting in a classroom taking a flower arrangement class. As the only two men present, they inevitably attracted a lot of attention.
"Is this Mr. Qin's first time arranging flowers? He's quite talented, especially with his use of colors. You can tell he's a confident and cheerful person."
Huang Xinyi originally thought that today's open class would be a mess, with not even the minimum number of participants. Fortunately, two men suddenly appeared, not only to fill the gap, but one of them was also very handsome and photogenic.
"You're joking. Teacher Huang is the real deal. I heard that you opened the studio by yourself. It's not easy to open a studio in the city center." Qin Qinsen admired his own work and rejected the other party's request to use him as a model for studio promotional photos.
Being able to open a studio in a high-end office building and rent out half a floor shows that he has strong financial resources. However, judging by Huang Xinyi's performance, it seems that this is not the case.
A long skirt, washed white and frayed at the edges, a baggy, ill-fitting T-shirt, and even the best foundation couldn't mask the fatigue and anxiety. Hanging on the wall were several work photos, largely faded and untouched. The vast space didn't even have a single employee. As the owner of a floral studio, Huang Xinyi was clearly not living a happy life.
"My elder's death anniversary is coming soon, and I want to buy a bouquet of flowers."
"Sure, white chrysanthemum or lily are both suitable." Upon hearing that there was business, Huang Xinyi put aside the embarrassment of being rejected just now, and took the person to the product display area next door to introduce the bouquet to Qin Qinsen.
"Do you have any black paper? Please wrap it for me."
Hearing this, Lu Zhi hurried forward two steps, unnoticedly blocking the way between the two. Unexpectedly, they had only picked a bunch of white chrysanthemums and carefully wrapped them up.
"Did you promote your business at the Teng Building before? My friend bought some of your potted plants and kept praising them. But when he wanted to buy some again, you were no longer there."
"Oh, yes. I rented a booth to promote my business and attract new customers."
The two of them keenly caught the unnatural look that flashed across Huang Xinyi's face when she lowered her eyes. They looked at each other, and Lu Zhi asked, "Can you buy the flower pot alone?"
"Yes, do you want to change the pot or plant something else? What type do you need?"
Lu Zhi opened his phone and showed one of the photos. "This is it. Do you remember it?"
Huang Xinyi's expression was clearly not well managed, and her movements as she searched for the flower pot slowed down. "This kind of succulent plant doesn't need much care and can grow well. And this one is so small, it doesn't need to be repotted."
"Does it not need to be changed, or can it not be changed?" Qin Qinsen took out the black talisman, "Are you afraid that someone will find out that you changed the luck talisman when you transplant it?"
Seeing the black talisman being crumpled into a piece of waste paper by Qin Qinsen, Huang Xinyi shouted, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Who the hell are you? Why are you trying to hurt me?" Lu Zhi grabbed Huang Xinyi's arm to prevent her from escaping. "I have no grudge against you, but you come to hurt me for no reason. What are you thinking?"
In anger, Lu Zhi restrained the struggling Huang Xinyi.
"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll call for help!"
"Shh." Qin Qinsen raised his index finger and chuckled, "Be quiet, don't wake it up."
Lu Zhi thought that the master was trying to scare people on purpose, but Huang Xinyi, who was in his hands, suddenly turned pale and even her struggling movements became much smaller. His hair stood on end.
"Look, you know this is wrong, so why did you do it anyway?"
As he spoke, the black talisman began to burn in Qin Qinsen's hand, and soon turned into a pool of black ash.
With eyes wide open in disbelief, Huang Xinyi murmured, "No, no, no! What have you done! It will kill me, it will-"
The lights suddenly dimmed, and after flashing twice, the room fell into darkness.
A beam of light suddenly lit up, and Qin Qinsen turned on the flashlight on his phone, shining it on Huang Xinyi's face. "Why do you want something that doesn't belong to you? Even if you use the Five Ghosts to Bring Wealth, it's better than asking for luck from someone you don't know what it is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xinyi screamed and Qin Qinsen made a gesture with one hand and hit behind him.
A hoarse scream of pain sounded in the darkness. Lu Zhi knew that he could not help, so he had to grab the culprit in his hand and step back to avoid disturbing Qin Qinsen.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here! It wasn't me, it was him, he broke the spell, not me!" Huang Xinyi cried, her body limp. If it weren't for Lu Zhi holding her up, she would have fallen to the ground.
Click, the light came on.
The external flower arrangement teacher suddenly walked in and turned on the light. Seeing Lu Zhi's hand still holding Huang Xinyi, he hurriedly asked, "What are you doing? Is Teacher Huang okay?"
Lu Zhi raised his hands to indicate that he had done nothing. However, Huang Xinyi was frightened by something she didn't know what it was, and her legs went limp, and she slipped and fell to the ground.
"Don't touch her." Qin Qinsen stopped the flower arranging teacher, earning her an unhappy stare.
After class, she packed up and prepared to say goodbye to Huang Xinyi before leaving. Unexpectedly, the next room was pitch black, and the three of them were silent inside. Turning on the light, she saw this inexplicable scene. The flower-arranging teacher had a hunch that something was wrong, so she pulled out her phone and prepared to call the police.
With a crisp sound, the vase near the door suddenly shattered, and the broken flowers and branches inside were scattered all over the ground.
Qin Qinsen lowered his voice and said, “Don’t move.”
Lu Zhi had been a soldier and was very courageous. He consciously stood in a position that was convenient for action, so he could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
灯光再次闪烁起来，显然打算故技重施。秦沁森没给那东西留机会，迅速冲到花丛中，矮身扑向半人高的影子就是一顿揍。
The unidentified object kept struggling, but was suppressed by Qin Qinsen and could not resist at all. "Stop, stop fighting! Master, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Please, please——"
The sharp voice seemed to be mixed with crying, and the sound became weaker and weaker. Lu Zhi and others felt their scalps tingling first, and then numbness - the repeated begging for mercy was really unpleasant.
Qin Qinsen seemed tired of fighting. He shook his hands and raised the shadow to face Huang Xinyi. "It's just a spirit. What is he possessing?"
A half-human, half-ghost appearance, a chilling, dark aura, and a negligible faith. It must be some unknown rural deity, bewitching travelers. Some, uninformed, bow down to the deity upon seeing it, unaware that this very deity awaits them.
After the worship, the two are connected. The wild god only needs to choose a "lucky person" from this group of people, use the magic of deception, promise all kinds of benefits, and trick humans into offering sacrifices.
The wild god's eyes were narrow and shimmering with an orange-yellow luster. Because of Qin Qinsen's actions, he faced Huang Xinyi directly and immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me, it followed me here on its own, I was forced to do it!" Huang Xinyi was frightened by the appearance of the wild god and burst into tears immediately.
I don’t know what she had experienced, but just seeing the face of the Wild God scared Huang Xinyi to death.
Her fear did not seem fake. The wild god laughed strangely, but he forgot that he was being held in Qin Qinsen's hand and had no freedom.
"Don't cry. The more afraid you are, the stronger its power will be." Qin Qinsen recalled the experience when an old Taoist priest took him to see things when he was a child.
A similar ugly wild god, but at that time it fed on the popularity of weddings and funerals, bringing couples together during the day and killing people at night, causing panic in the village.
Now that he had caught one with his own hands, it was obvious that it fed on fear. Qin Qinsen couldn't help but look at the old Taoist priest and raised his hand to punch him. "If you are really scared, I will break this thing apart first..."
"No, no, no, no! Master! My Lord! I can ensure a peaceful and prosperous family, and I will never have any second thoughts after following you. This requires that woman to spit out all the benefits she has received!" In order to survive, the wild god began to recommend himself.
"oh?"
Perhaps Qin Qinsen's performance gave Huang Xinyi confidence. Grasping the last bit of clarity from her panic and fear, she shouted, "It's it! It's the one who forced me to hide the lucky charm in the soil and sell it! If I don't do as it says, it whips me with a whip in my dreams every night, and I'm faced with mountains of swords and seas of fire. It scares away my customers during the day, and it's caused all the studio employees to have car accidents or hallucinate and break their legs. No one dares to come to my place!"
When he got excited, he lifted up his loose T-shirt, revealing the bruises and blood scabs on his abdomen. The pain he suffered in the dream was fully reflected in reality.
"Hehehe, if you weren't so greedy, how could you have brought the statue back? I helped you change your luck and you're not grateful. You deserve to be rich!"
"Bullshit! My studio is running smoothly, but you're forcing me to set up some Feng Shui plan. All my clients and employees are running away. No one even wants to come to my free flower arranging class!"
"This immortal is proficient in the art of changing luck and making money, it's just that you have bad luck!"
The man and the wild god started arguing, and Qin Qinsen couldn't even get a word in. At this moment, Lu Zhi approached quietly, "Master, do you think this is it?"
Qin Qinsen gestured to Lu Zhi to hold the wooden sculpture. After examining it for a moment, he suddenly let go of the wild god, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something. Before anyone present could hear his words, a sound like a balloon popping was heard, and the statue quickly decayed.
"No!" The Wild God screamed and pounced on Qin Qinsen. A golden light flashed in the other's eyes, and the Wild God turned into ashes along with the corrupt statue.
