On the third day, the construction team suddenly left...
The story has been spread like wildfire among the citizens.
"I heard that hotel can't be demolished, and nobody can even get close to it! It's become a ghost town!"
"Isn't anyone going to do anything about this? I'm too scared to go out these past few days. I want to take a day off; I don't want to go to work anymore."
"You'd better take a day off! It's been really weird lately. Some people are leaving get off work at night and don't even know what happened. The next day, they wake up in a cemetery! Isn't that terrifying?"
"It's terrifying! I often hear strange noises outside when I'm home at night..."
Tiancheng Auction House.
Cat frowned slightly as she listened to Bai Jiang's account.
There have been so many ghosts in H City these past few days! Not just wandering spirits, but also those from the surrounding cemeteries—they've all come out!
These are all waiting to enter the cycle of reincarnation; they cannot be killed casually, as they are quite troublesome.
At this moment, Ye Mingshi arrived.
He placed a document on the table. "It's settled. I've bought the hotel and the nearby plaza. It went very smoothly. The owner thought it was bad luck and sold it to me without hesitation."
As she spoke, Ye Mingshi leaned back in her chair and drank large gulps of water.
"Kitty, what are you going to do next?"
The cat said, "Seal that place off."
"So when do you plan to seal it?"
Cat: "Of course, as soon as possible, tonight, shall we?"
Ye Mingshi nodded, "Then I have to go too. It's such a big deal, I have to see it with my own eyes!"
Just then, Zhou Shuang knocked on the door.
"Sect Master, Qi Song has brought a feng shui master over and wants to meet you."
"Let them in."
Qi Song was still dressed as a student. When he saw that Maomao, Mu Jin, and Ye Mingshi were all there, he greeted them one by one.
Hearing the way he was addressed, Li Zhongcheng thought to himself, "Ye Mingshi is also a sect leader. I wonder which sect he belongs to?"
"Can't you make money from your live streams? What are you doing here?" Maomao asked Qi Song directly.
She remembered him. When they first met, Qi Song mentioned that his father was sick, and that's why Maomao helped him out.
Qi Song quickly said, "Sect Master, I didn't come here for the live broadcast. It's him, his name is Li Zhongcheng. He insisted that I bring him here."
As he spoke, Qi Song gave Li Zhongcheng a wink.
Li Zhongcheng immediately stepped forward and said politely and respectfully, "Sect Master Jiu, I have long heard of the Eight Gates. I have always dreamed of entering the Eight Gates. I also know a little about Yin-Yang Feng Shui. I would like to ask Sect Master Jiu to accept me into the Eight Gates. I will definitely abide by the sect rules and do my best for the Eight Gates."
Ye Mingshi chuckled, "Not bad, you're quite perceptive. Kitty, someone's come to rely on you."
Li Zhongcheng looked at the cat nervously.
But the cat asked, "You came here today just for this?"
Li Zhongcheng paused slightly.
He quickly and honestly said, "I came here today mainly for this matter! But there's another secondary matter... Sect Leader Jiu, Mayor Zhao said he wants to see you..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin, who was playing a game, slightly raised her eyelids.
Just then, Li Zhongcheng was also secretly observing Mu Jin. As a result, their eyes met, and Li Zhongcheng's heart trembled!
Cat: "He wants to see me, so why did he send you to deliver the message?"
Li Zhongcheng quickly replied, "Mayor Zhao said he couldn't reach you..."
This is quite puzzling. Mayor Zhao was looking for someone in his own territory, but he kept running into obstacles. Li Zhongcheng had no choice but to act as the messenger.
"What does he want with me?"
Li Zhongcheng hesitated for a moment. Although this matter was still kept secret, he felt that he could tell Maomao about it.
"Recently, the atmosphere in H City has been too gloomy, causing widespread panic. Mayor Zhao has secretly invited many experts, but they are all just 'experts' who are only after fame and fortune and cannot solve any problems."
"You saved someone, so I told Mayor Zhao about it...that's why Mayor Zhao invited you."
The cat remained silent for a while.
Li Zhongcheng and others were anxious.
Suddenly, the cat said, "Lead the way, I'll go see Mayor Zhao right now."
Li Zhongcheng was taken aback: "Now?"
The cat nodded. "Yes, now."
She's very busy; she has other things to do in the evening.
“Okay, I’ll call Mayor Zhao right away.” Li Zhongcheng walked away, and after a while, he returned. “We’ll go to Mayor Zhao’s office right away. So, Master Jiu… what about my joining the Yaomen? Can you consider it?”
The cat looked at him and thought, "This guy isn't bad."
"No need to think about it anymore. Just follow Qi Song and Zhou Shuang and let them teach you the rules."
Li Zhongcheng grinned from ear to ear, "Yes, Sect Master!"
He lagged a few steps behind, patted Qi Song on the shoulder, and said, "Haha, little brother, we're on the same side now!"
Qi Song was quite proud because he was now considered a senior!
...
Mayor's Office.
When Maomao, Mu Jin, and Ye Mingshi entered together, Mayor Zhao personally stood up to greet them.
"Welcome, it wasn't easy to invite you all."
Mayor Zhao politely invited the three of them to sit down, not daring to underestimate them at all.
Not to mention that all three of them are truly capable people, and he needs their help.
Take the Mu family of Beijing, for example—they are even more remarkable! Whether in the business world or in politics, the five major families of Beijing are all extremely powerful figures!
The five major families in Beijing have never been just ordinary large families.
"The situation is urgent, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. You should know more about what's been happening in H City than I do. I need truly capable people to help H City out of its current predicament."
"I don't know if the three of you are capable of doing this?"
The cat said, "Yes."
Mayor Zhao looked at the cat in surprise.
He had heard Li Zhongcheng say long ago that Jiu Maomao was a very important person, because Mu Jin also listened to her.
He didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true!
To his surprise, the cat readily agreed!
He said with obvious delight, "That's wonderful! Miss Jiu, what are your plans? Could you tell me?"
The cat hadn't intended to dawdle at all.
The current situation in H City is her fault, and she can handle it.
“Mayor Zhao, then I’ll be frank… H City is currently very yin in spirit. Every night, the boundary between this place and the underworld has become very blurred. If this continues, not only ghosts lingering in the human world, but also ghosts from the underworld will appear here.”
Even Mayor Zhao, with his vast experience, was taken aback by the cat's words. "Then what should we do?"
“It’s impossible to capture them all, but I can seal them in one place, right there in the burned-down hotel.”
Mayor Zhao didn't understand the technical jargon; he simply asked, "How exactly do I do it?"
The cat took out a piece of white paper.
"Mayor Zhao, I need you to stamp this here with your official seal."
