"OK!"
"drop."
After hearing what Wang Kai said, Zhang Fan stopped asking questions and decisively agreed and hung up the phone.
…
Ten minutes later, Wang Kai drove the old car he had stolen from Zhao Yong's house to the door of Zhang Fan's rental house.
Zhang Fan quickly got into the car and told the address. Wang Kai slowly started the car and headed to the Lin family ancestral tomb that Zhang Fan mentioned.
Maybe it was because Wang Kai’s driving skills were so good, the strong sense of frustration almost made Zhang Fan feel unwell.
Wang Kai: "Most people can't drive this crappy car of Lao Zhao."
Zhang Fan: “…”
After driving about one kilometer, the car gradually became stable.
Zhang Fan then spoke:
"Brother Kai, you said that these rules are weird and you are tired of playing them. What's going on?"
"This thing was a compulsory course for our Wang family when we were young."
While driving, Wang Kai explained proudly:
"In fact, 'Rule Talk' is a wrong name. To be precise, it means setting some rules for evil spirits."
"We, the Wang family, used to have a motto, which is for humans and ghosts to coexist peacefully."
"In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible and better manage and check the weirdness, the elders in the family have fenced off an experimental plot in the back mountain."
"Any evil spirits that are found will be thrown into the back mountain area. In the back mountain, they must strictly abide by the rules set by the elders, otherwise they will die."
"In fact, not only humans can make rules, but ghosts and evil spirits can also do so. Some of the stronger ones, either together or acting alone, set up barriers in areas where they often move around to bully weaker ones. If a human accidentally breaks in, they may also be imprisoned."
"The Lin family ancestral tomb you mentioned should have a small group of weird people causing trouble. If I'm not mistaken, in addition to Liu Jun from the Security Bureau, there are also many lonely ghosts trapped inside."
"But due to the rules, these wandering souls may just be working for the 'rule makers'."
"Wandering soul..."
After Wang Kai finished speaking, Zhang Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
According to Wang Kai, there should be quite a few wandering souls in the Lin family's ancestral tomb.
Whether it is a wandering soul or an evil spirit causing trouble in the Lin family's ancestral tomb, it should meet the prerequisite requirements of the system task.
In other words... if I'm lucky, the emergency mission might be completed immediately this time.
Brother Liu, Brother Liu...you really helped a lot this time?
After a brief contemplation, Zhang Fan asked again:
"Brother Kai, how do we solve this strange place? Can we solve it as long as we follow the rules?"
"Follow the rules?"
Wang Kai smiled slightly and shook his head, "If you follow the rules, wouldn't that make you a fool?"
"Following the rules will only allow you to come out alive, but while you're alive, you'll also have to pay a lot of price, shorten your own lifespan, and nourish the power of the ghost story maker."
"That means we don't need to take the rules seriously?" Zhang Fan asked doubtfully.
"Not entirely." Wang Kai shook his head slightly and explained:
"In the final analysis, the land of ghost stories is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If people like Liu Jun and the security bureau don't follow the rules, they will either die of a serious illness or their souls will be torn apart."
"But the people in the Security Bureau have a sense of justice in their hearts. They can avoid some harm and save lives."
“I see…”
Zhang Fan suddenly realized and asked subconsciously: "What about us?"
"we?"
Wang Kai grinned and said, "If we are in a good mood, we can play with them. If we are in a bad mood, we can just flip the table!"
"Hmm? Interesting."
After hearing this, Zhang Fan almost understood it.
Since you can overturn the table, then it’s easy. Just give me your reincarnation.
The requirements are not high. If we can catch five this time, it will be considered a success.
…
at the same time.
Yuncheng black market.
Bearded Antique Shop.
Hu Kai took a few deep breaths, finally mustered up the courage, and knocked on the door: "Knock! Knock! Knock!"
I knocked on the door more than ten times, but there was no response.
But he could clearly feel that his adoptive father and the man with a mustache were inside.
After taking this step, Hu Kai finally let go and started banging on the door hard.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
“Who is it?”
"We're already closed, why are you still taking pictures? It's so annoying!"
Three minutes later, Brother Hu impatiently pulled up the shutter door, stared at Hu Kai angrily and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
"Long time no see." Hu Kai smiled slightly, looking at his brother whom he hadn't seen for many years, and felt somewhat excited inside.
“You…you?”
"elder brother!"
Brother Hu Zi quickly recognized Hu Kai. Although the two brothers were not biological children, they had a very deep relationship.
With a bear hug, Brother Huzi was so excited that he almost shed tears.
"Where have you been these past few years?"
Brother Huzi dragged Hu Kai into the store and shouted, "Dad, look who opened it."
In front of Hu Kai, Brother Huzi did not hide at all. He opened the secret door in front of him and dragged Hu Kai in.
After the drama of long-lost relatives reuniting ended, Hu Yidao finally brought the topic back to the point:
"Kaishan, where have you been all these years? Have you never looked for us?"
Hu Kai hesitated and said, "Dad, I have been working in Tixuanmen for the past few years."
"Rebellious son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yidao hit Hu Kai on the back with his crutch.
"With your Senior Brother Zhao gone, there's no Xuanmen anymore. If you keep saying such beastly things, don't acknowledge me as your father!"
“…”
Hu Yidao was furious, and Hu Zi and his brother subconsciously shut their mouths, not even daring to breathe.
After about thirty seconds of silence, Hu Yidao's hoarse voice sounded again:
"Forget it. Now that you're back, you can help out in the store. I don't have many days left. Don't be mad at me. Do you hear me?"
Hu Kai did not answer, but looked towards the door and said, "Dad, there is another person who came with me and is now waiting at the door... I think it's time for you to meet each other."
"Huh, someone from Xuanmen? You only come back to look for me when you're in trouble?"
Hu Yidao snorted coldly, turned his back and said, "I don't want to see anyone. I don't care how much trouble you are in. As long as you stay in the antique shop, Dad can guarantee that you will not die."
Hu Kai seemed to have guessed his reaction long ago, and said slowly: "The man I'm talking about is Uncle Zhao's grandson, Zhao Yong."
"who!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Yidao suddenly twisted his body, his brows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"That little bastard is here too?!"
