(three)
"What did you dream about that night?" Zhou Ziqiu then asked another question.
Wang Lei thought carefully for a moment, then mumbled, "I can't remember..."
"Take care—"
"A bracelet! A woman's bracelet!"
Wang Lei suddenly remembered something and quickly called out.
"What?"
“I dreamt that I was standing in a house from the Republican era, and a man whose face I couldn’t see was putting a bracelet on the wrist of another woman whose face I couldn’t see.”
Having a clue makes things much easier. Zhou Ziqiu's brows relaxed slightly: "Anything else?"
"Yes, after I saw the bracelet, I suddenly found myself in a forest. It was all foggy, and I couldn't see anything, but I could see a bracelet buried in the soil in front of me."
In this way, Zhou Ziqiu understood a little. There were only a few ways to anger a vengeful ghost, and what angered this vengeful ghost was something that had been tainted by someone's obsession.
There are many conditions required for a vengeful ghost to take shape, and obsession can be said to be one of the most important conditions for a vengeful ghost to take shape. Whether it is keeping the obsession firmly in one's heart or entrusting the obsession to an object, it is an unshakable existence.
Now, in order to buy time to scatter the form that the evil spirit had taken, he could not find the evil spirit's figure. In this vast world, how could he find it if the evil spirit did not show itself?
The only viable plan now is to find the object of the ghost's obsession, and thus find the vengeful spirit.
He has limitations; he cannot kill ghosts now. He can only find the ghost and then kill it in another way.
"Stay in the ward and I'll take care of things." With that, Zhou Ziqiu got up and left the ward.
As he walked out of the hospital, he took out his phone, which was tucked into his clothes, and called Cui Yongle.
The connection was established very quickly.
Zhou Ziqiu had no interest in chatting with him and told him directly what had just happened.
After listening, Cui Yongle remained silent for a while, and then said, "I will find people from Qingdeng to assist you." The people from Qingdeng were not all Taoist priests, but also included technicians, managers, and others.
"good."
"But dealing with a vengeful ghost that has lived for hundreds of years and has been provoked is also very difficult."
This was within Zhou Ziqiu's expectations: "I will do my best."
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Liaoyuan Pavilion on Changle Street.
Glasses and Fatty were chatting about a vengeful ghost that had suddenly appeared three days ago. The ghost, with only a few hundred years of cultivation, tried to attack their boss, but it couldn't even get close and was beaten and fled in disarray. Their boss listened to their discussion expressionlessly. In fact, he hadn't seen the ghost at all; it must have been the magical artifact he carried that scared it away.
As they walked, they arrived at Liaoyuan Pavilion, but the store was closed, and the three of them couldn't help but frown.
"Glasses, you're not seeing things again, are you?" the fat man asked suspiciously.
The tall, thin boy with glasses frowned and argued, "That's right, it's Chang Le Street, Liao Yuan Ge. Maybe the owner is busy and not in the store."
After the three of them entered Luoqi, they followed the compass all the way, but the compass still pointed north. They didn't know whether the ghost they were looking for was in the north of Luoqi or in the north of Luoqi. However, they were exhausted from the journey from Guanxing to Luoqi. Glasses glanced at Qingdeng and said that there was a Qingdeng shop on Changle Street. The three of them went to Changle Street to find out if there had been any strange things happening in Luoqi recently.
The man called "boss" was no longer as disheveled as he had been a few days ago. He was now clean and his handsome face was revealed. His deep-set eyes and phoenix eyes could almost steal everyone's heart.
He raised the corner of his lips slightly and looked at the owner of the snack shop next door.
"Boss, do you know where the owner of Liaoyuan Pavilion has gone?"
The shop owner frowned as he looked at the tall young man in front of him. Usually, the young men who came into the shop were reluctantly accompanying their girlfriends. This was the first time he had seen a young man who came into the shop on his own initiative.
"He went to the hospital, didn't he? I heard him talking on the phone with someone an hour ago, saying that someone at the hospital was looking for him."
The young man nodded his thanks.
"Boss, this..."
"Go check."
"That's what the young man said."
The man with glasses quickly found the information on his phone and showed it to the young man.
"Walk."
After reviewing the information the young man found through the glasses, he turned and left the entrance of the Wish Pavilion.
Zhou Ziqiu was currently searching for the object of the vengeful ghost's obsession, but how easy was that? He didn't know where the ghost came from or where to look for it.
Suddenly, Zhou Ziqiu thought of something, so after leaving the hospital, he didn't go back to Yuange, but took a taxi to Cui Yongle's house.
Cui Yongle's home is in a high-end residential area called Huaxia Community in Luoqi. It is a house decorated in a very antique style. Zhou Ziqiu used the card that Cui Yongle had given him before to swipe the card and enter the house. He took a lot of talismans drawn by Cui Yongle for future use. Just as he was taking the talismans, someone suddenly called him. The person who called was the contact person in Qingdeng.
"What's wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, the Qingdeng employee was arranging the personnel needed for this mission, with the constant clatter of keyboards clicking on the phone: "Mr. Zhou, the bracelet should be in the forest south of Luoqi."
"good."
Zhou Ziqiu responded, then hung up the phone, took the talisman, and left Cui Yongle's house.
All of Qingdeng's employees know about exorcism, but most people who can stand in front of a ghost and perform magic need talent, which they don't have. So they are usually responsible for tracking tasks and arranging personnel. In fact, their work ability is not weak. In just a short time, they found the possible location of the bracelet through Cui Yongle's hint.
The reason why the location could be confirmed so quickly is simple: a vengeful ghost will not stray too far from its obsession. Its appearance in Luoqi proves that its obsession is in Luoqi.
Of course, this isn't absolute. What if someone brought its obsession item to Luoqi this time? Of course, such a possibility cannot be ruled out, but now they can't let go of any possibility. They can only gamble that the vengeful ghost died in that forest, and that the bracelet on her body was not taken after her death. The bracelet remained in that forest until recently when someone touched it.
Requests for help like Wang Qiuyang's are difficult to resolve. The information is incomplete, there may be many issues, and time is of the essence. The staff of Qingdengli Luoqi District are working at full speed to arrange for personnel to hand over the matter to Zhou Ziqiu and try their best to contact the Taoist priests of Qingdengli who can arrive in Luoqi on the same day.
After waiting downstairs for a few minutes, Qingdeng's car drove up from the entrance of the residential area. Zhou Ziqiu got in the car and drove towards the forest outside Luoqi City.
On the other side, at the First People's Hospital of Luoqi City.
Wang Qiuyang looked at the three young men in front of him with suspicion and asked, "Who are you...?"
The fat man was very good at dealing with people. He stepped forward and negotiated with Wang Qiuyang: "We are from Qingdeng. We saw that you asked for help in Qingdeng, so we came over."
Wang Qiuyang was even more puzzled: "Green Lamp? Didn't Master Zhou already come?"
The three knew that this Master Zhou must be the owner of Liaoyuan Pavilion. The tall young man bowed to Wang Qiuyang and said, "It's like this, the three of us are Mr. Zhou's students. He called us and asked us to come and see how your child is doing."
Wang Qiuyang suddenly realized what was going on and led the three of them to the ward. Thanks to Zhou Ziqiu's help, Wang Lei had been moved out of the intensive care unit and into a regular ward.
"Master Zhou is such a good person. My child woke up as soon as he made a move."
The tall young man smiled slightly but didn't say anything.
When the four arrived at the ward, Wang Lei was eating fruit and looked very healthy.
The fat man started asking Wang Lei some questions when suddenly, the tall young man's cell phone rang in his pocket. After looking at the caller ID, he got up and went outside the ward to answer the call.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wen Suwen?"
Wen Su's voice was indifferent, with a hint of laziness: "Hmm, what's wrong?"
Are you still in Luoqi?
"exist."
Upon hearing Wen Su's words, the voice on the other end became very joyful: "I am Xiao Li from Qingdeng. It's so good that you're in Luoqi. We would like to ask you for a favor."
It wasn't surprising that the Green Lantern Society approached him; he, the fat man, and the bespectacled man were all listed on the Green Lantern: "Speak."
"We've received a request for help. We need to deal with a ghost in the Luoqinan Forest, but Qingdeng is currently short-handed. We hope you can help us. If you can help, we will give you a generous reward." Wen Su and the others are only nominally affiliated with Qingdeng and are not actually under Qingdeng's control. They will definitely receive a generous reward after the matter is resolved.
Wen Su understood now. The person on the other end of the phone was probably referring to the commission that Liaoyuan Pavilion had accepted, which he had seen on the green lantern earlier. Hadn't someone already accepted it? Could the owner of Liaoyuan Pavilion really not be able to kill a ghost? And this happened right after he came out of that forest? A vengeful ghost? He hadn't seen one in the forest.
"Didn't I see that the Wish Pavilion accepted this request for help? That ghost is very strong?"
The person on the other end sighed and said, "Yes, our Wish Pavilion has taken on this job, but there have been some unexpected circumstances that require your assistance. Don't worry, the people from Wish Pavilion will help you during the exorcism process."
Wen Su said "Oh," and thought, "Earning some extra money is certainly a good idea: 'Okay.'"
Back in the ward, Wen Su gestured to Glasses and Fatty before saying to Wang Qiuyang, "Sorry, something came up with Qingdeng, so we'll be leaving now."
As the three left the hospital, Wen Su recounted the contents of the phone call to the other two. After listening, the fat man was puzzled: "Then the owner of Liaoyuan Pavilion can't even kill ghosts? Who gave him the courage to take this job?"
Wen Su smiled and hailed a taxi, saying casually, "Who knows? Anyway, we'll just ask about something while we're at it."
On the other side, Qingdeng's men drove Zhou Ziqiu to the entrance of the forest. Not far away was the highway toll gate, and right in front of the toll gate, a fork in the road led up the mountain.
The car turned directly up the mountain.
At first, it was a normal mountain road with farmhouses and supermarkets along the way. Since this road is frequently used by hiking enthusiasts, it wasn't exactly deserted.
But gradually, the car turned at the asphalt intersection and suddenly turned onto the dirt road beside the road. Then it became more and more desolate and the road became narrower and narrower until even the SUV with the blue lights could not pass.
The two got out of the car, and the staff member shivered and exclaimed, "It's so cold!"
Zhou Ziqiu gestured for the staff member to look up at the sky.
Because this forest is quite a distance from Luoqi city, and we had to drive along the winding mountain road for a long time, it was already evening. Apart from a few insect chirps, there was no other sound in the quiet mountains.
"Okay." The staff member shrugged and handed Zhou Ziqiu a Bluetooth headset for location tracking and communication. "Good luck."
They had already been told in the car that someone would be coming to help Zhou Ziqiu catch the ghost.
Zhou Ziqiu took the earphones and put them on: "I hope so."
Hopefully, the person who comes isn't a noob. But it's alright, as long as they know how to throw talismans. 18:55:42
