Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast by Mistake Section 90: Command
"I've found you, why are you hiding here?" More than an hour later, Zhang found Pu Zitong in a place called Lake Park, where Pu Zitong was sitting in a sightseeing pavilion in the park, facing a small sparkling pond, his eyes blank.
Pu Zitong was suddenly awakened by Zhang Su's voice, a clever man stood up, looked at Zhang Su in surprise, and asked, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
"Of course, I saw the news about you and followed the traces you left along the way to find here, I thought you would run far away, but it turned out that you went around this remote park." Zhang Su explained.
Zhang Su asked Hu Xi about the location of the accident before looking for Pu Zitong, and it took more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle to arrive, where Pu Zitong chased the ghost, Zhang Su used the stele soul extension to collect the residual traces of Pu Zitong's soul power, and then turned on the soul power perception ability to the maximum, while perceiving the soul power fluctuations around the body, while tracking along Pu Zitong's soul power traces, and finally came to this secluded and desolate park, the park is not big, Zhang Su quickly sensed Pu Zitong's soul power fluctuations.
"I got into trouble and failed!" Pu Zitong looked at Zhang Su with an expression that almost wanted to cry.
"Haven't you ever beaten a bounty imp? I heard Brother Hu Xi say that the strongest of the bounties you received are the two junior imps, how could you fail? Zhang asked with a slight suspicion.
"It's not that I haven't fought, look, I put it in the Dark Stone Cup, but I caused a commotion when I was hunting, when I saw that junior ghost wanted to run, I turned on the body soul technique to chase after it, I forgot what kind of chaos the superhuman energy state shown by the body soul skill will cause to ordinary people, and when I found out, it has caused a lot of onlookers, so I can only escape from the crowd to this place." Pu Zitong hung his head and said dejectedly, holding the dark stone cup to show Zhang Su.
"It's good if people are fine, the impact is inevitable, the soul master really has to go all out to deal with the dead soul, but in front of ordinary people, you have to learn to collect the strength appropriately, you just participated in the soul hunt, no one will give you guidance in this regard, and it is normal for some problems to occur." Zhang Su comforted.
"You don't have to comfort me anymore, I talked to Hu Xige on the phone before, although he also said that it was okay, but I could hear his nervousness and worry from his tone, obviously this matter is not easy to solve, I will wait to be fired from the soul hunting company." Pu Zitong still said with his head down in a depressed mood.
"You were originally the eldest lady of the Pu family, and it is not a bad choice to leave the company and return to the Pu family." Zhang Su laughed and teased.
"I'm not going back! I know that you also think I made a big deal out of it, I have read the company's regulations, if this matter cannot be solved, my end will definitely be fired, fortunately, I am the Pu family, and the company will not waste my soul power and clear my memory. Pu Zitong showed some nervousness between his eyebrows, and then eased a little, responding to Zhang Su.
"It's hard to say." Zhang said.
"What? Does the company really want to abolish my soul power? Then our Pu family will not give up! Pu Zitong said even more nervously.
"You misunderstood, I mean you don't necessarily get fired, the company stipulates that as long as you don't expose the existence of the soul realm, the special abilities you emerge in the crowd are similar to those superpowers in superhero movies, and they can't be counted as directly exposing the existence of the soul realm, I have already told Hu Xige, let him try to apply to the company to mobilize resources, in order to guide public opinion, explain the unnatural behaviors you show as the filming process, and then use the official media to refute rumors and build momentum, it doesn't take many people to believe itAs long as the public continues to wonder about the truth and falsehood, the impact you have caused will be weakened, and finally it will be completely forgotten, how about it? Is this a good solution? Zhang Su explained.
"You are really a talent, you can think of this, but the soul hunting company is estimated to pay a lot of money for me, and the punishment is estimated to be indispensable." Pu Zitong's eyes flashed with a little hope and exclaimed.
"I saw this method in a gossip magazine when I was hunting souls before, I think the public opinion impact you caused is very similar to the celebrity scandal, so I borrowed it, as long as the company doesn't fire you, it doesn't matter what the punishment is, not to mention that the company doesn't know the identity of your eldest lady of the Pu family, this punishment depends on your father's attitude, so there will be nothing." Zhang Su replied.
"In the end, I have to trouble him, I just don't want him to run out." When Pu Zitong heard Zhang Su mention Pu Linggong, his face darkened a little.
"Then you fight for some anger yourself, the first time you came out to hunt souls, you caused a big trouble, your soul master strength must not be said, but your approach needs to be improved, reduce the emotional impact when hunting souls, oh, by the way, the reward you received today can wait for the limelight to go down tomorrow, from tomorrow I will accompany you to guide you, so that our two partners can be established as soon as possible, I will need your help immediately." Zhang Su suggested.
"You guide me? I'm an intermediate soul king, so I don't need to ...... at all, hey, you've also advanced to the intermediate soul king level?! Pu Zitong just wanted to refute, but after using his soul power to probe Zhang Su's soul, Pu Zitong was shocked.
"Well, I advanced last night." Zhang Su nodded and admitted.
"And I have a feeling of being stripped naked and seen through in front of you, you seem to be shrouded in a layer of fog, I always thought that you won the second place in the rookie battle of Heavenly Soul Castle because of luck, but now I don't think so, you must have something special, or some special secret hidden, otherwise you wouldn't have come to such a point." Pu Zitong looked at Zhang Su with a puzzled face, showing a look of wanting to see Zhang Su through.
Hearing Pu Zitong mention the hidden secret, Zhang Su was startled at first, and then instantly regained his calm appearance, and responded casually: "I have neither outstanding nor secrets, but I have improved a little after constantly fighting with the revenants, don't say so much, I was thinking about the matter of the partnership between the two of us before, and I plan to cancel the previous agreement and make a new one." ”
"A new convention?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"Well, I proposed before that you should hunt more than ten high-level ghasts alone as a partner premise, and then I thought about it, I think it's a little unfair to you to do this, when I first hunted souls, it was Brother Lu Sen who mentioned me from the side, and I slowly adapted to the soul hunting mode of the soul hunting company, I think you need someone to give you a command when you hunt souls in the early stage, at least to help you pass the initial basic stage, and that person should be me." Zhang said.
"Command? I don't need to, I can do it myself, this time it's just a small accident. Pu Zitong argued.
"I'm not blaming you when I say this, and I didn't say it to you because you had an accident, this is the result of my careful consideration, and your strength is beyond doubt, so I won't help when I ask for some command, but for the adaptation to the environment during the soul hunt, I think you need me as a commander, and you have already caused an accident, so there is no reason to refuse me." Zhang Su retorted.
Pu Zitong slowly lowered his head, rubbing his fingers with both hands, like a reprimanded child, stubbornly unwilling to give in, but he also knew his own problems, so he hesitated to consider it.
After about ten minutes, Pu Zitong finally raised his head again, and suddenly said to Zhang Su: "I promise you, this is like in ancient times, I was a general who charged into battle, and you will be my commander and division, but the matter of going to the battlefield to fight will be left to me." ”
Zhang Su knew that Pu Zitong was looking for an excuse for his self-esteem, so he didn't debunk it, nodded and said: "Well, yes, Pumen female general, in the future, you have to listen to the military division's arrangement, of course, you also have to learn to arrange the troops in this process, and make a reasonable soul hunting plan, so that we will have enough tacit understanding at that time." ”
"Well, got it, so what do we do now? I can't go soul hunting for a while, the videos about my special abilities have been spread all over the place, and going out and showing up again will only cause panic. Pu Zitong said.
"Well, I said it before, let's think about soul hunting after today, my public opinion proposal has been conveyed to Hu Xige, and Hu Xige should also convey my opinion to the company, and then the company will have some actions, your matter spreads quickly, and the company's special rumor refutation information must not be slow, and almost no one will remember you after a day." Zhang said.
"Then I'll ...... now" Pu Zitong nodded, wanting to continue to ask Zhang Su.
"I know what you want to say, I brought you a mask when I came out, you put it on first, and then you just go home, wait for the public opinion to ferment again, tomorrow I will observe the direction of public opinion, if your matter is no longer a hot topic, I will call you, and then I will accompany you to continue to complete the reward in your hand." Zhang Su arranged, then took out a newly bought pink disposable mask from his pocket and handed it to Pu Zitong.
Pu Zitong took the mask, quickly put it on his face, and said sullenly through the mask: "I don't see that your heart is quite fine, yes, you are qualified as a military division, find a time to officially report to me, I will go home and hide first." ”
After that, Pu Zitong made a gesture of waving goodbye to Zhang Su, and he didn't know where to run, and his figure disappeared from the park.
"Hey, acute." Zhang Su looked at the direction where Pu Zitong left, shook his head helplessly, and said to himself, "It's okay to go, I still have to go to Uncle Song's appointment in the afternoon, and it's not very convenient to bring her, let's go have a meal first, I don't know what conditions Uncle Song has to mention." ”
Song Yibing previously reported that the portal was on Xinghua Street, which was located on the edge of the second ring road in the east of the city like the Times Theater, which was originally a combination of urban and rural factory areas, and later because of urban expansion, the combination of urban and rural areas became a development zone in the city, and the old factories that were once more polluting were banned or moved out, and some of the factories left behind were also required to be rebuilt, because the industrial area was moved, and the district where Xinghua Street was located was renamed Lixin District. The implication is to establish a new urban area, the Times Theater, Xinghua Library, Bailan Building, Huailan Commercial Street, Wanda Mall in response, in addition, some emerging electronics factories, science and technology institutes are also settled in it, and Xinghua Street is the last batch of old-fashioned bungalows that have not been demolished in the new district, Song Yibing lives in No. 32 Xinghua Street.
There are many reasons why Xinghua Street has not been demolished, the main reason is that Xinghua Street is located near the emerging factory area, and it is in the gap between the emerging factory area and the commercial area, the area is not large but it occupies a long and narrow area, and the use value is low after the demolition. Therefore, the dilapidated Xinghua Street has always existed among the bustling and emerging high-rise buildings, and has become a unique scenery in the new district.
Because Xinghua Street is not far from the Times Theater, Zhang Su soon came to the vicinity of Xinghua Street along the road, he rode along the narrow and rugged Xinghua Street road, found a family-style noodle shop in Xinghua Street, and casually ordered a bowl of braised pork noodles as lunch, after the soup was full, Zhang Su browsed the house number in front of the door door along the end of Xinghua Street, and soon found No. 32 Xinghua Street.
No. 32 Xinghua Street, from the outside it looks like the kind of old-fashioned bungalow built in the early seventies and eighties, there is nothing special like other houses on Xinghua Street, the blue gray cement wall is not painted with any color of paint powder, and the square eaves that protrude a circle above the house are covered on the four walls of the square, making the house look like a square bachelor's hat, there is a small door in the middle of the wall, one person is high, the outside is a rusty anti-theft iron door, and the inside is a red lacquered wooden door, There was a very inconspicuous red doorbell button installed on the door frame of the iron door, and Zhang Su had seen this old-fashioned doorbell at his grandmother's house, so he recognized it at a glance.
Zhang Su stopped the car, locked the car in a nearby open-air parking area, walked to the door of No. 32 Xinghua Street, gently knocked on the anti-theft iron door outside, and then pressed the red doorbell button on the door frame, and waited patiently at the door.
After a while, footsteps came from the house, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a woman's voice asked, "Who?" ”
"My name is Zhang Su, and I'm here to find Uncle Song Yibing Song." Zhang Su responded.
"The old man is looking for you." The woman turned her head and shouted into the room, unlocking the inside of the door, and soon opened the red lacquered wooden door inside.
"Hello Auntie." Zhang Su saw that it was an old aunt in her forties and fifties who opened the door, and greeted her politely.
"Zhang, are you Song Yibing's colleague?" The old aunt was wearing gray cloth pants, a red long-sleeved shirt, and a plastic apron printed with cartoon drawings around her body, rubbed her hands, pulled the anti-theft latch of the iron door open, and asked Zhang Su.
When Zhang Su was pondering whether to answer "yes" or "no", he heard a vigorous and powerful man's voice from the dim room: "A colleague in the factory, I called him here." ”
The old aunt who opened the door nodded, welcomed Zhang Su into the house with a smile, and asked Zhang Su coldly: "Does the young man drink tea?" Or some fruit? ”
"Auntie, don't bother, I'm just here to talk to Uncle Song and learn to study, I'll be embarrassed if you do this." Zhang Su hurriedly waved his hand.
"What's so embarrassing, I bought some apples and grapes when I rushed to the market in the morning, you talk, I'll send them to you later, your Uncle Song is in the study in the back room, you go and look for him." The old aunt said with a smile, and then introduced Zhang Su into Song Yibing's study.
"Uncle Song, I'm here." Zhang Wei was embarrassed to say anything more, turned around and walked into the study where Song Yibing was, and officially greeted Song Yibing.
"It's early, sit down." Song Yibing pointed to a solid wood sofa and said to Zhang, then walked to the door of the study and locked the door of the study from the inside.
Zhang Su silently walked to the wooden sofa and sat down.
"Don't get me wrong, you Aunt Song doesn't know about me as an exorcist, of course I don't want her to know, it's no good for ordinary people to know about the soul realm, you understand this." Song Yibing seemed to see Zhang Su's doubts and explained.
Zhang Su didn't say anything, and nodded by default.
"Okay, continuing with what we talked about last time, I said before that my exorcist methods can be taught to you, but this is conditional, if you can meet the conditions I offered, I will teach you all what I have learned all my life, but if I can't fulfill my conditions, then our deal will be abandoned, understand?" Song Yibing asked.
"Well, Uncle Song, I can see it from the last time you used the formation to trap that little ghost, although the techniques are different, but Uncle Song, your strength should be several levels stronger than mine, so I don't have much confidence in the conditions you offered, I can only say do your best." Zhang Su said modestly, this is not Zhang Su's deliberate flattery, but Zhang Su's true thoughts and attitude.
"Don't worry, what I asked you to do has nothing to do with the size of the soul power, and has nothing to do with the soul hunting method, if I decide that you don't have the conditions that are possible to do it, I won't mention it, the condition I mentioned is actually very simple." Song Yibing nodded.
"On what terms?" Zhang Su frowned and asked.
"Temper my son." Song Yibing said.
"What?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"There is a Xinghua Library not far from this Xinghua Street, my son's soul wanders there, two years ago, when he was twenty-six years old, he died suddenly on the way back from work, and after his death, he became the first soul and has been wandering in the newly built library, although the exorcist can use the soul refining array to transform the soul, but he is my son, I can't do it, so I want to ask you for help, let him escape into reincarnation after ascending to heaven, this is my condition." Song Yibing said.
"It's that simple? Don't say it's me, any soul master can do it, it's just a primordial soul. Zhang Su relaxed and asked incredulously.
"Of course, because I met only you by chance, so I hope you can help me achieve this, you also know what the world of revenants is like, one day later, my son's soul may be devoured by other revenants, and I can't do anything to my son, so I can only do it by you, the soul master." Song Yibing suddenly said sadly.
Zhang Su suddenly understood that for people who can see the soul, as long as the soul of the relatives still exists, the bonds and feelings will continue, and the complete disappearance of the soul of his dearest and beloved is the most painful, that is the eternal separation, Zhang Su looked at the suddenly sad Song Yibing, nodded and agreed.
