◎【Man in the Box】：ptsd is guilty.jpg◎
Ye Ping'an's eyes lit up. "There's still the balance? The officers are so polite. Gold coins or gold bars are fine, I'll take them all!"
It seems that the gutter oil pyramid scheme made a lot of money. After destroying an oil factory, the bonus was given out to three people!
The last bit of regret of not being able to catch up with the crackdown on gangs in Jiang City suddenly disappeared.
Ye Ping'an walked out briskly, and when he saw the large cardboard box within the cordon across the crowd, he couldn't help but pause.
Why does the material look familiar?
Ye Ping'an still remembers the sturdy cardboard boxes from his previous car dealership. They were made of strong material and had a large capacity, making them very suitable for loading various miscellaneous items in the van.
Unfortunately, the relatives of the van's original driver took the cardboard box too far. A perfectly good cardboard box, stuffed with trash, burst on the spot, nearly filling the entire van. Ye Ping'an wanted to roll his eyes just thinking about it.
Ye Ping'an took a few steps forward and saw more and more clearly.
The cardboard box is printed with red paint and looks damp... Could it be from the same batch as the previous ones?
"Boss Ye, what's wrong?" Yao Qing knew what was behind him and quickly stopped him.
Ye Ping'an is definitely the most qualified person to participate in the action. All actions are coordinated with her. No one will raise any objection as long as she wants to do something.
only……
I've been staking out supermarkets these past few days, occasionally catching ghost controllers sent by the True Spirit Society. Each one of them has been affected by Tai Sui.
Boss Ye can easily wipe off the "mycelium" of [Tai Sui]. If the Investigation Bureau wants to catch these dangerous guys, it must be very careful to separate the ghost controllers and the ghosts.
Fortunately, they were only affected by Tai Sui. A new round of mycelial slaughter wouldn't begin immediately before they came into contact with these Tricksters. They didn't need to withstand the pressure head-on; they only needed to consume what Tai Sui could devour.
The mobile team can call upon more combinations of creeps and manpower than the real spirits. The [Man in the Box] and [Wooden Man] work together to lure and trap the creep controller in a box, then use the wooden man disguised as a similar creature to take the creep away. Once the box is free...
The only ones left there were the members of the True Spirit Society who had brought about their own destruction.
After a short period of isolation, no new creatures will be devoured and the rules will be triggered. The influence of [Tai Sui] will naturally disappear. Just light a candle to dispel the remaining strange aura.
It is simple and convenient, and they can do whatever they want. Reserve investigators can also grow rapidly in the process of arresting people.
The only two bad things are that we can’t catch them for interrogation, and the other is... the scene in quarantine is a bit disgusting.
Ye Ping'an didn't even look at the partition behind the crowd. She stared at the cardboard box in front of her. "Officer Yao, where did you buy this cardboard box? Do you have any manufacturer recommendations?"
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the large cardboard box that was being lifted up with great effort suddenly shook.
"Gu..." It was like seeing something extremely terrifying unexpectedly, and the fear was so great that even the intestines deep inside trembled and made a strange sound.
The gurgling sound turned into a deafening roar in a short moment, "Ugh!!!"
The entire cardboard box shook into wavy lines, and the closed box opening opened with a hiss, like a big open mouth, vomiting out countless garbage.
There are unswallowed hair, pieces of clothing, strange puppets that try to swallow everything, and even miscellaneous scraps of paper, dust, and bird and animal excrement... Any kind of garbage you can think of can be found here.
The Trickster who controlled the [Man in the Box] was sprayed out along with the garbage.
Fang Xian had a blank expression on his face and made a safety gesture to indicate that the monster was not out of control and to stop his teammates from emergency rescue.
Crash——
The cracks on the edge of the box became more and more obvious, revealing the fact that it had already been torn into pieces and was almost collapsed to the ground.
All kinds of garbage were rolling around with black sticky liquid, and the spitted out mucus did not flow towards Ye Ping'an at all.
Looking at the trembling cardboard box, Yao Qing struggled to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth.
The "Man in the Box" was discovered with only the bottom of the box in tatters, but it appeared intact when used. It was found at the funeral procession of the "Hearse" and is believed to be one of the mysterious artifacts left behind by Boss Ye.
...Why does it look like he has PTSD?
Yao Qing shook his head, shaking off the ridiculous thought. "Boss Ye, I didn't scare you, did I? This...this box isn't packed properly. I'm sorry. Do you want to buy some cardboard boxes? I can ask for you."
The entrance of the supermarket instantly turned into a smelly garbage dump. Ye Ping'an twitched his lips and his desire to buy dropped sharply.
The same type of cardboard boxes were all used to hold garbage, but she used them to hold sundries, food, and drinks, and she always felt something was wrong.
"Forget it, this type of cardboard box doesn't seem to be very useful."
Ye Ping'an waved goodbye and said, "Officer, you guys are busy now."
Ye Ping'an strolled away. Yao Qing sighed and pressed the button on his headset. "Captain Yan, Boss Ye is leaving. Downstairs... needs extra cleaning."
The battle of wits and courage with the Zhenling Society may take place on the road, in the supermarket and on the way back, and there are people watching every entrance at all times.
Yao Qing stayed behind to finish up the work at the supermarket. He looked at the tattered cardboard boxes and the garbage on the ground with a heavy head. He looked at the cardboard boxes solemnly and asked, "Can the [person in the box] eat them back?"
Fang Xian's skinny face had grown a little flesh, and the twitching of his mouth was quite obvious. "...Do you think the garbage will be lured into walking in?"
Yao Qing covered his forehead, "So don't give the [Man in the Box] random food!"
"I'm only temporarily controlling the Man in the Box. At most, it might steal some clothes and hair before Tai Sui activates. It can't be considered 'you'."
Fang Xian spread his hands. "The Man in the Box is recovering slowly, and its effects are weak. We've previously tested what kind of creatures it can attract and how long it can survive after being swallowed. We've also used it for interrogation and pressure for a while... I guess it was the one that stole food during that time."
She shook off the garbage on her body without caring much. "You'll get used to it. It's better than having rotten meat sprayed all over your face. Please, give me some tissues first so I can wipe my pants."
-
Once again, a patch of mycelium was seen withering, and all the subordinates' security communications were lost.
In just a few days, this scene was repeated. Needless to say, the investigation bureau arrested the person again.
——The most infuriating thing is that the people sent out are gone before the next step of contact is completed!
"Another divine gift wasted..."
Tai Sui looked at the communicator expressionlessly, and his eyes hurt when he saw the two words "Cheng Yi" flashing on it.
The subordinates were arrested every time they went out, and it became increasingly difficult to drive and deploy the members of the association transferred from other places. Some were afraid, some felt it was risky, and in short... they were using all kinds of tricks to obtain resources.
Cheng Yi, who is introverted and dull, has always stayed with Ye Ping'an, but she doesn't want anything except the necessary funds to be transferred to Xile Hotel.
Comparing the two, Cheng Yi is incredibly loyal!
They have to be children raised in a strong family, who are more caring and more willing to contribute to the cause of the club.
It is not impossible to consider giving Cheng Yi a fragment of the god after catching Ye Ping'an.
But loyalty is loyalty...
When Cheng Yi asked for money on Ye Ping'an's behalf, she was very clear-headed! She was very particular about every penny and acted like a demander who would not continue to participate in activities unless she was paid.
The deposit figure on the screen has become 1.5 million, and the promised balance is still 3.5 million short.
I clicked on Cheng Yi's message and found that she was asking for the final payment or to increase the deposit.
Cheng Yi seemed to be thinking about him. The main idea was: "Too many people have been arrested in the meeting recently, and I'm afraid that the Lord Divine Envoy will be under pressure. Why not settle the money in one go? Ye Ping'an will definitely be willing to go directly to the scene."
Tai Sui's face was gloomy. He stared at the numbers for a long time and sent another message.
Within a few minutes, the president's communication popped up.
The voice, altered by the voice changer and communication current, barely had any distinctive features. "More manpower and funds?"
Tai Sui said nothing.
However, this is the Nth time this request has been made in the past half month.
The guild leader chuckled, "'Tai Sui', the immortal spirit, the boundless power, the future in this evil world, are all shared by all the brothers and sisters in the guild. The day of the true advent of the gods is approaching, and the time has come for us to offer our sacrifices. Complete the mission, and everything is at your disposal. But if you fail... the gods can grant, or they can punish."
huff… huff…
Invisible pressure seemed to be coming from the other end of the phone. Tai Sui's face turned grim. "...This time, this time, I will definitely catch her."
As for after being caught?
It is not a bad idea for the offerings that the president values to become his offerings to serve the gods!
The president didn't continue hammering, but simply gave a time. "Five million and the men you designate, go get them."
-
Yan Mingyue knew the latest ambush time of the Zhenling Society earlier than Ye Ping'an.
"'Tai Sui' has changed his strategy and has ordered Boss Ye to go to G22 National Highway in Jiang City sometime tomorrow morning, saying someone will take her to the wedding banquet along the way. Is this a desperate move?"
Yan Mingyue frowned. "The national highway is next to a whole range of hills. We might not have enough time to search the mountain... If someone or a vehicle rushes out nearby to lead the way, we won't be able to intercept them directly. We can only follow them and see."
Zhou Xing shook his head. "We've caught Tai Sui's men so many times. I'm afraid their plan isn't that simple. In their eyes, Boss Ye is our man. Boss Ye directly leaked the destination to us. He'll know the address even if he leads the way in the car. We'll always be one step ahead of them."
Yao Qing raised his hand honestly, "The information department suspects they are planning to use strange creatures to intercept them."
Xia Zihan, who had just finished training, peeked over curiously, "Isn't that just perfect? Boss Ye is catching tricks, and he's got it in his hands!"
"There are so many effects on strange objects. Among the strange objects that have appeared in the past, some that are suspected to have fallen into the hands of the True Spirit Society and whose whereabouts are currently unknown, some can directly change their location."
Zhou Xing unfolded the newly retrieved file. "However, their range isn't as wide as the [Hearse], nor are they teleporting. Since the True Spirit Society is planning a major move, they'll definitely use [Tai Sui] or other strange creatures to set traps. We can start contacting the cities surrounding the national highway and keep an eye out for any new strange things that might surface within a day or two."
Xia Zihan felt sleepy when listening to the entire team's plan to ambush the True Spirit Society.
Xia Zihan pondered for a long time, then slapped his thigh and said, "Anyway, we'll just follow Boss Ye tomorrow and be done with it."
Yan Mingyue: ...
Yan Mingyue held her head and said, "I remember you were quite smart before. How come you've become so smart now? You still need to use your brain. Go and write a set of weird file random test questions to wake you up."
Xia Zihan:?
Facts have proved that even with a position, one still cannot escape answering questions.
The investigators began preparations in full swing.
Ye Ping'an had just finished dinner and lazily turned on the video when he heard the employee say that the customer had set a time.
"Oh, the client has finally decided. The wedding banquet is tomorrow... Wait a minute?"
Ye Pingan threw his casual expression behind him and looked at Cheng Yi in disbelief. "The client asked us to go directly to the wedding banquet tomorrow? How can we make that in time?"
The chef hadn't even checked the venue, the crew, the ingredients, or the number of servings, and yet they were planning to host the banquet? Did the client really care about the wedding, or not?
It's not like we're just playing house, so we can just use some toys to make it look like the real deal!
There was less than half a day left before the client's notification date, and weddings usually started at noon. Add in the food tasting and adjustments, and the time was pitifully short. The more she listened, the more it seemed like a huge mess.
Ye Pingan was alert. "Although we haven't signed a contract, according to public order and good customs and general business practices, if something goes wrong temporarily, the deposit will not be refunded—"
"Ding Dong! Three and a half million yuan has arrived!"
He was full of disclaimers, but swallowed them all back when the payment announcement sounded.
Ye Pingan said righteously, "Go! Of course! The deposit has been paid. Even if the customer is not ready, I can arrange for someone to help them set up on the spot!"
Of course, it costs extra money.
