Chapter 9 There's Always a Way Out



The call connected, and a gruff voice came through.

"Hey, Brother Xu, do you still remember me?"

We were roommates back then; I slept in bed number 3.

A voice that sounded very familiar rang out.

"Bullshit, I had a two-person dorm in college, where did this number 3 bed come from?"

Xu Fan could no longer contain his anger and couldn't help but swear.

The other party, however, was very patient and began to explain.

"Oh dear, I wasn't talking about a university dorm, I was talking about a high school dorm."

You forgot, our high school was a boarding school, and we were in a four-person dormitory.

I live in bed number 3, the fat guy you always borrow shampoo and toilet paper from.

After being reminded by the other party, Xu Fan finally remembered.

When I was in high school, I was struggling financially.

Therefore, they will try their best to take advantage of others whenever possible.

He borrowed things like shampoo, toothpaste, and toilet paper from his roommate.

Xu Fan recalls that he almost never spent money on anything during high school.

She took all her personal belongings from a fat guy in her dorm room.

Xu Fan thought to himself: So many years have passed, will this fat guy come looking for me to pay back the money?

Back then, those meager items wouldn't have added up to more than ten thousand yuan.

Surely the other person isn't that petty.

Before Xu Fan could even speak, the other party had already explained their purpose.

"Brother Xu, I'm calling today mainly because I need your help with a small matter."

Is there anything else I can help you with?

"Do you know about the most popular eerie sound short videos right now?"

"I know, the videos inside are really good."

I need to watch short videos for several hours every night before I can go to sleep.

"That's right, now is the time for short videos with eerie audio. As long as you stand on the right spot, even a pig can fly."

So I quit my job at the beginning of this year.

With the money he had saved, he purchased a large amount of equipment and opened a studio.

They specialize in filming short videos that resemble real, bizarre events and posting them online.

Profits are generated through traffic monetization and live-streaming e-commerce.

The fat man began to talk at length about the business he was currently in charge of.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Everything is ready here, except for the east wind."

The equipment capable of capturing ghostly figures and the instruments for detecting ghosts are all ready.

The only thing we're lacking is a highly skilled person to protect our filming crew and ensure their safety at the eerie scene.

Xu Fan scratched his head.

"You shouldn't have come to me with this kind of thing."

You can find those reclusive masters; they all have clearly stated prices for inviting you to come out of seclusion.

Or you could seek help from the official night watch.

The fat man sighed softly.

"Brother Xu, we've already done everything you can think of."

Those so-called reclusive masters are actually all idiots.

When we actually find a bizarre scene, the first people to die are people like them.

I will also provide a large sum of compensation.

As for government officials, we simply can't get them to come.

After all, they are an organized and disciplined group; they can't just casually work for us private companies.

"So you thought of me?"

Do you remember last night by Lover's Lake?

"Were you fighting with a vengeful ghost?"

These words instantly put Xu Fan on high alert.

"Do you have any cooperation with the Central Hospital or the Night Watch Bureau?" Xu Fan asked tentatively.

The fat man chuckled.

"No, I received inside information that night that there was a lot of resentment at Lover's Lake, so I carried a camera there to film it."

Damn! Every wrong has its source, and every debt has its debtor. Xu Fan has finally found the root of the problem.

It turns out that the tabloid reporters the fat doctor mentioned were actually the fat man and his group!

"Do you have a few more companions?"

The fat man paused for a moment and asked, "So there used to be, but recently, for some reason, they've all had accidents in the last few days. It's very strange."

"Where are those documents?"

"The Night Watch came to my door and asked me to hand over the data and delete all the stored data."

It's connected now; everything is linked together.

I just got laid off and now I don't have a formal job.

Xu Fan was worried about how to find those strange scenes in order to obtain the organs of those strange creatures.

Unexpectedly, the fat man called him first.

Xu Fan initially wanted to agree readily, but reason prevented him from doing so.

"What benefits would I get if I helped you?"

Eagerness doesn't lead to business; only by discussing the exchange of benefits can long-term cooperation be achieved.

"Brother Xu, our company is still in its early stages, and I'm the only one who has come up with the initial capital."

If you come and help me, I'll pay you a commission of 30,000 yuan for each operation.

What do you think?

To be honest, Xu Fan wasn't particularly satisfied with this treatment.

"Fatty, send me the company address. I'll go check it out first."

After receiving the address, Xu Fan hung up the phone and got into the car.

During his time on the road, he began to think about how things should develop.

All we need to do is get our hands on the organs of those bizarre creatures.

The doctors at the Central Hospital can help my sister get rid of her congenital heart disease.

At the same time, selling the organs of other terrifying creatures to hospitals can also help cover medical expenses.

Just as Xu Fan was pondering, he realized something was wrong.

But the further Xu Fan went, the more abnormal he felt.

The taxi had driven to an extremely remote area.

The driver muttered, "What kind of place is this? Just get off at that next intersection. You can't get any fares here."

Xu Fan himself was also feeling uneasy; he didn't want to implicate the driver.

After paying and getting off the bus, a cool breeze blew over me.

Xu Fan felt a chill run from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

Some unidentified dark figures passed by Xu Fan.

The divine warrior's physique was instantly activated, protecting Xu Fan from the harassment of these wandering ghosts.

"The yin energy here is too strong."

Xu Fan used his hands to drive away the wandering souls that were searching for vital energy.

His yang energy was so strong that those wandering ghosts and spirits couldn't get close to him.

Through constant collisions, they gradually depleted Xu Fan's yang energy.

What Xu Fan found strange was that the wandering ghosts all dispersed and stopped attacking him.

"Beep beep beep"

The car horn blared.

A dilapidated Jinbei van drove up.

This is no ordinary car; its exterior is covered with all sorts of yellow talismans.

The car's rearview mirrors were covered with all sorts of amulets.

There are Buddhist prayer beads from revered monks, Thai amulets, Taoist talismans, Christian crosses, miniature pharaoh's scepters from ancient Egypt, and the six-pointed star of Judaism.

Wow, that's an exaggeration.
