2. Haunted by sprites

Qiao Wei and I didn't stay in Thailand for too long. I woke up and immediately contacted the god of fortune. Time is already a scarce resource for me. I have to make the most of every minute I have left. I have to speed things up.

The god of good fortune has already figured out the city where the soul exchange is located. It is not clear in which area, which house, and what kind of scale the trade fair will be.

In her words. Among the fallen gods, she is a more marginal being. But that doesn't mean she's not strong enough. She's just hiding herself in this way and building up power in the dark. Of course. These are the words of the god of good fortune. I've met a lot of gods in the past few months. Although the final result is that I win. But in comparison, I think they are much more powerful than the gods of good fortune. I have the impression that the god of good fortune is a trumpet. Tricksters of luck are just that.

Follow the clues provided by the god of good fortune. Qiao Wei and I went to Kaohsiung. The status of the wanted criminals didn't cause us any trouble on our trip to Treasure Island. Of course, there is a credit to Ye Chen. The so-called rich is easy to do. This is definitely true in this day and age.

Ye Chen also has some friends here in Kaohsiung. He also asked these friends of his to help inquire about the frequent strange things in Kaohsiung recently.

Thereupon. Jingpeng was quickly put on our list of key watches. Happened. Boss Jingpeng is also looking for monks and mages everywhere to go to the company to exorcise evil spirits. Two days after getting the news. Qiao Wei and I also came to Jingpeng Company as Yin and Yang exorcism detectives to help find out the real culprit of the trouble.

According to Jingpeng's boss. He had also invited three people to come over before. But as a result, not only were the demons not driven away. Instead, these mages who came to exorcise demons were in danger one by one. Two were scared away. There was also a monk who managed to do his job in the company and was nailed to the wall. Now the police can't find the murderer. The exorcists didn't dare to come over. The company is even more panicked. Many people are afraid to come to work anymore.

I also have a general understanding of the situation of Jingpeng before I came. From the time I entered the building to the present, I have seen no more than twenty people in the company. And there is only one woman among them. Now she's in the same office as me and Qiao Wei. And all the time looking at me with very hostile and even somewhat disdainful eyes.

This woman's name is Zhang Gu. Twenty-nine years old with me. Although half a foot has stepped into the door of thirty years old. But looking at the appearance, it is only twenty-four or five. And it's very beautiful. She has worked as a model before. Later, after meeting Jingpeng's boss, he changed careers and started to do creative and planning. This is also the major she studied in college. Right now. Zhang Gu is already the planning director of Jingpeng. She wasn't the one who started the company. But Jingpeng's ability to get to this day really depends on Zhang Gu alone. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that she is the pillar of Jingpeng.

Because of her identity. So today she also received me and Qiao Wei with Jingpeng's boss. It's just that she has been cold to me and Qiao Wei from beginning to end. I guess she doesn't believe much in ghosts and gods. Or maybe you don't trust me and Qiao Wei enough.

After Qiao Wei watched the footage and pointed out that the thing the killer used was a coffin nail. Jingpeng's boss also nodded frequently: "The previous exorcism masters also said so. I don't know what the two of you have to say. If you can help us get rid of this demon. You can ask for it as long as you want. I'm satisfied."

We haven't waited for an answer yet. Zhang Gu immediately slapped the table. Glaring at Jingpeng's boss, he said, "I said Fang Shishan. Don't be so gullible about their words. Just because of your attitude, the company's people dare not come to work. What a ghost, a god, a curse, or something. Do you think there will be these things in the world?"

"What do you want to say by then? You've seen the video too. What the hell do you explain?" Jingpeng's boss, Fang Shishan, immediately pointed to the computer playing the video and asked.

Zhang Gu frowned. Come on. What is this place. This is where the movie is made. Anyone in the company can make this kind of film."

"What about the time shown on it," Fang Shishan said stubbornly.

"Time can also be faked. Even ghosts can be made, let alone modify the time. Wouldn't it be nice to leave everything to the police. Why bother making superfluous things, besides, the few people who died are not a good thing, are they? You know very well what that Hu Shasha is for a person. Wu Dapeng is even more obscene. It might be better if a few more people like this die."

"Don't talk nonsense" Fang Shishan seemed a little angry. He also slammed the table hard and stood up from behind his desk. The male assistant standing next to him was taken aback by Fang Shishan's actions.

"I'm talking nonsense. Did I talk nonsense? Am I talking nonsense?"

Zhang Gu obviously didn't eat Fang Wenshan's set. Not only was she unfazed. Instead, he aggressively turned around and yelled at Fang Shishan.

Fang Shishan's momentum just now was suppressed back at once. He hurriedly raised his hands in a throwing motion. Then he comforted Zhang Gudao: "Okay, good. Even if it's me talking nonsense. Didn't I go to the mage because the police didn't make progress for a long time? I also hope that the company can get back on track as soon as possible."

"The way to get back on track is simple. Push that newcomer up tomorrow night. If she doesn't come, she'll pay her three times. If it doesn't work, it's five times more. The same goes for the rest of the staff. As long as it does the right thing. There is no need for men to be afraid of demons." After speaking. Zhang Gu also turned his head and glared at me deliberately.

I think it's time for us to stand up and say a few words. If things are allowed to develop like this, I'm afraid Fang Shishan won't let Qiao Wei and I catch ghosts here in the company.

And just as I was thinking about how to speak. Qiao Wei stood up first. And walked up to Zhang Gu with a smile and said, "Miss Zhang. You feel like as long as you are a good person. Then the ghost won't come to the door, will it?"

Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately nodded yes.

"Then do you think you're a good person?"

"Of course it is. What do you mean by that?" Zhang Gu's face showed anger.

"Nothing. I just wanted to make a point......" he said. Qiao Wei quickly stretched his right hand into the hair behind Zhang Gu's ear.

Zhang Gu was taken aback by Qiao Wei's sudden move. She quickly ducked back. But she was only halfway through her dodge and stopped. Then her eyes were completely focused on Qiao Wei's hand. It's not just Zhang Gu. Fang Shishan, his assistant. And my eyes also fell on Qiao Wei's hands.

"That'...... What is that?" Fang Shishan asked with a slight stammer. At the same time his body leaned back. Try to distance yourself from Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei's index finger and thumb pinched a weird little thing. That thing is a lot like the dragon in Chinese mythology. He had horns on his head, a beard in front of his mouth, scales on his body, and four claws. However, the length and thickness are only about the same as a human finger. It looks like some kind of toy.

But that weird thing is clearly not a toy. It writhed and struggled in Qiao Wei's hands. At the same time, a strange "chirp" sound is made.

"It's a ghost. This thing is always hidden in the yin qi and does not show its face. It's a harmless little ghost. It's daytime though. This kind of imp doesn't usually choose to show up during the day. And he's so bold to lie on people's backs."

After speaking, Qiao Wei whispered a few words of incantation. Then an orange flame rose in his hand. The little dragon-like monster was burned to ashes in an instant.

"Sure enough, it's a master. Looks like I'll be able to exorcise the demons this time. Definitely." Fang Shishan said to Qiao Wei excitedly.

"Don't ...... No kidding." Zhang Gu held on and waved his hand vigorously. It's just a trick on their part. If you don't have these means, how can you pay for it?"

"Did I say I wanted money?" Qiao Wei retorted.

"You...... This ......" Zhang Gu spit out two words and stopped.

Qiao Wei and I are indeed here to exorcise demons and catch ghosts. But we never mentioned anything about the remuneration. We really didn't plan to ask for anything in return. I made a fortune selling that antique plate. And now Qiao Wei and I have a super rich patron behind us. Someone pays for all the costs of our actions. The question of money is basically not to be considered.

Zhang Gu may not believe in ghosts. But her cold attitude towards me and Qiao Wei seems to be because of the problem of money.

"What if...... If you guys don't want money. So what do you want?" Zhang Gu asked vigilantly.

"Nothing. Think of it as a kind of practice or a kind of accumulation of virtue. If you must be paid, wait until we actually catch the ghost. As for how much to give. You guys whatever. We don't care." Qiao Wei took out the same set of words when he was in the Bazhai Hall before.

There is no monetary connection. Zhang Gu's vigilance also let go of a bit. She frowned and tried to ask Qiao Wei, "The one you just said...... The ghost...... What the hell is it."

"It's a kind of wandering ghost." Qiao Wei replied, "Actually, I won't tell you anything. It's also recently that I have a more intuitive understanding of these wandering ghosts after I got yin and yang eyes. They used to be tiny black mist in my eyes. There is no entity. But now I can see them very clearly."

"It's really harmless."

Qiao Wei nodded and said yes. But immediately his words changed again." But it's not that simple. Like I said before. These imps like to stay in a gloomy environment. And it rarely comes out in broad daylight. Now it's lying on top of you. So I guess the next person to be attacked is probably you."

"What...... What" Zhang Gu's eyes widened in surprise. You say I'm next."

"That's right."

"It can't be. How is this possible?" Zhang Gu shook his head violently while hiding his horror with a smile

"Don't be afraid. I just found some precursors. At least now you're not entangled in yin. There's nothing bad about it. So there shouldn't be a big problem in the short term. If you can. I hope you can get all the people in the company back. I'd like to see how they're doing one by one. Determine who is most likely to be attacked next." Qiao Weidao.
