Hearing people blame this on the ubiquitous paper-based afforestation in Zhidu, Wang Yao was somewhat puzzled. At most, paper-based afforestation would cause respiratory diseases, mostly chronic ones, but judging from the intensity of the investigation, this disease could be contagious.
This kind of thing is Huagu's specialty and has little to do with Wang Yao. He briefly thought about it and then stopped thinking about it.
Upon arriving in Huadu, Wang Yao planned to go directly to the Civilization Building, but Hui Shuo complained of being hungry again. He had only eaten a little lunch on the plane, and it was already evening when he got off the plane. Hui Shuo insisted on resting and having dinner before continuing.
Wang Yao thought it made sense. Doing the mission wasn't something urgent, so he didn't rush to the Civilization Building. Instead, after getting off the airport bus, he chose a nearby restaurant and arranged for Hui Shuo to eat. While Hui Shuo was eating, Wang Yao's phone rang.
"Master Wang, can you catch ghosts?" The call was from Li Zhongxiao. As soon as Wang Yao answered, Li Zhongxiao asked.
"Catch...what?" Wang Yao almost thought he had misheard.
"It's about catching ghosts! Here's what happened: the boss is developing that haunted building, right? The construction company can't seem to demolish a few buildings. The workers say those buildings are haunted. They even tried to demolish them in broad daylight at noon, but the excavators would stall as soon as they got close. And then they heard..."
"What did you hear?" Wang Yao had heard Wei Dafa mention this before and guessed that it was probably Lin Yazhi causing trouble again. But didn't Wei Dafa say he wouldn't interfere? Why did Li Zhongxiao call again?
"I heard that the workers saw white ghostly figures in those buildings. Several of them have gone sick and are talking nonsense all day long. Now no workers dare to go up to the construction site of the haunted building. The construction company wants to break the contract and quit. The boss is worried about this," Li Zhongxiao said.
"This... Wei Dafa is worried, why did he ask you to call me?" Wang Yao was a little puzzled. He originally intended to resolve Lin Yazhi's matter, but he was unhappy with Wei Dafa, so he postponed it and asked him to come and see. Let Wei Dafa worry about it, what does it have to do with Li Zhongxiao?
"...The boss has wanted to find you for a long time, but...Master Yin has been stopping him, so it's inconvenient for the boss to show up..." Li Zhongxiao stammered.
"Did Wei Dafa ask you to find me?" Wang Yao asked.
"No...it's...sigh...Master Wang, could you please help me out?" Li Zhongxiao stammered on the other end of the phone.
Judging from his tone, Wang Yao guessed that Wei Dafa had probably sent him to find him, but he also probably told him not to say it was Wei Dafa's idea, which put Li Zhongxiao in a difficult position.
"Okay, I have some things to do. I'll go over when I'm done," Wang Yao replied. Lin Yazhi had been a ghost for quite some time now, so she could just rest for now since Wei Dafa's construction site couldn't operate. She'd deal with the Lone Wolf mission later.
He had barely hung up the phone for two minutes when the "Get Rich Song" started playing again. Wang Yao looked and saw that it was Wei Dafa calling this time.
"Hello?" Wang Yao answered the phone.
"Master Wang, if you really can catch ghosts, come and take a look right away! Someone's been killed!" Wei Dafa shouted into the phone.
"What's going on?" Wang Yao stood up abruptly. The inability to carry out the project and the loss of life are two different things. How dare Lin Yazhi kill innocent people indiscriminately?
"Just now, a construction worker ran up to the haunted building and jumped off. We couldn't stop him. The scene is a complete mess. I have to get out of here right away. The police are coming soon. This haunted building is really weird. If you can handle it, come and help me out!"
Wei Dafa called out on the phone, and Wang Yao could hear that he was panting heavily, so he must be on the run.
After hanging up Wei Dafa's call, Wang Yao hesitated. Someone had died, which was a serious matter. He naturally couldn't go to the Immortal Realm anymore. Instead, he should go to the Ghost Tower first and resolve Lin Yazhi's matter.
Lin Yazhi, you've been a ghost for so long, couldn't you have waited a little longer?
If she causes such a mess, I might have to punish her. Thinking this, Hui Shuo, knowing that Wang Yao had something to do, unconsciously sped up his eating. After finishing his meal hastily, Wang Yao led him away from the Civilization Building, took a taxi, and went directly to the Ghost Building Village.
Before the taxi even arrived at its destination, Wang Yao heard the sirens of police cars and ambulances coming from all directions. Along the way, he saw police cars and ambulances with their lights on rushing past him. The taxi driver, while driving, was also incredibly curious.
"What happened? What's going on?"
Wang Yao was also puzzled. Why make such a big fuss about someone who jumped off a building and died?
He saw the ambulance drive by and wondered to himself, "Could it be that the person who jumped from the building is still alive? If so, there's no need for such a big fuss." But then he saw four or five police cars pass by.
When the taxi arrived near the large construction site of the Ghost Building urban village, it saw that the police lights ahead were flashing everywhere, so it dared not go any further and let Wang Yao and the other person get out of the car on the side of the road.
Wang Yao and Hui Shuo walked towards the haunted building. All around them were busy figures coming and going, and the constant noise of walkie-talkies could be heard. There were many workers wearing hard hats and doctors and nurses in white coats, as well as some police officers, but none of them seemed to pay attention to Wang Yao and Hui Shuo.
Just as the two reached the haphazardly parked police cars, a police officer jumped out from the darkness.
"Police officers are on duty ahead. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!" the officer shouted.
"I'm a friend of your boss Qiu. I heard something happened here, so I came to check on things." Wang Yao didn't waste any words with the police officer and directly brought out Qiu Dingxiong.
