Chapter 103 Ghost-Catching Special Training Class
If Lyon were reliable, then the vengeful ghost Li Sheng wouldn't have appeared.
Seeing Chen Yuan remain silent, Captain Lu stealthily moved closer and whispered to confirm again.
"Then...can I go?"
"You can go."
Chen Yuan looked straight ahead, his tone calm.
"So... are you going?"
A glimmer of hope rose in Captain Lu's eyes.
"I'm not going."
Chen Yuan answered crisply and decisively, without any hesitation.
Captain Lu: (One—)
He slowly turned his head, staring intently at Chen Yuan with dead fish eyes, his face saying, "Are you kidding me?"
"Don't look at me like that."
Chen Yuan spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and showed an expression that said, "I'm helpless too."
"As Leon said, I am... somewhat skilled in martial arts."
He carefully considered his words.
"So I plan to go see my master for the next seven days."
"Let's see if he has any hidden treasures that can help us get through this crisis."
"good!"
Captain Lu's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and gave a thumbs up.
"As expected of A-Yuan, you're still the one I can rely on in crucial moments!"
He instantly regained his spirits, straightened his back, as if he had found his pillar of support.
"In that case, let's split into two groups!"
"We're going to attend an expert's ghost-hunting class; you go find your master and ask for help!"
Having finalized tomorrow's itinerary, Captain Lu clapped his hands vigorously to attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone! Listen up!"
"Tomorrow, we'll all go together to attend an expert's ghost-catching training class!"
"That's all for tonight, let's call it a day and recharge!"
"Feed me?!"
Leon, who had been ignored, started to complain irritably.
"Where are my steamed orange with black bean sauce and watermelon with shredded bean curd and chili?!"
"I've been busy all night, I'm starving!!"
Doesn't anyone respect my basic physiological needs as an expert?!
"Here it comes!"
Ah Qiang trotted in carrying two fast food containers that smelled strange, looking utterly dejected.
"Expert, here's your...fruit."
God knows what kind of disdain he received from the shop assistant when he went to buy those two items.
This combination, like adding yogurt to rice noodle rolls, is considered heretical in the food world.
If he hadn't lied and said he was buying it for an elder in his family who has a loss of taste, he probably would have been kicked out immediately.
And this moment.
Watching Lyon open the box, with an expression of enjoyment, he put the orange flesh covered in black fermented bean curd and the watermelon chunks wrapped in red fermented bean curd into his mouth, chewing with relish.
Chen Yuan, Captain Lu, and A Qiang, who remained in the security room, all wore expressions that were hard to describe.
Noticing their focused gazes, Lyon generously used a toothpick to pick up the most shockingly colored piece of watermelon with fermented bean curd and enthusiastically offered it to everyone.
"Want a piece? It's cooling and refreshing, and also nourishes yin and strengthens yang!"
The three men's expressions changed, and they all took half a step back, shaking their heads vigorously.
Chen Yuan was the first to stand up, his movements somewhat hasty.
"Ahem... I suddenly remembered that the gas stove at home might not be turned off properly. I'll go back and check it first."
After saying that, he turned around and strode quickly toward the door without looking back.
Captain Lu and A-Qiang exchanged a glance and instantly reached a tacit understanding.
"Qiang! I suddenly remembered that the motion-activated light on the third floor of Building B seems to be broken. Come on, let's go patrol it!"
"No problem, Captain, I'll go get the flashlight right away!"
Ah Qiang responded exceptionally loudly and enthusiastically, and the two of them fled from the scene that was both shocking in terms of smell and sight.
The next day.
Captain Lu and his group of seven, along with the shameless Ah Qun, appeared on the open ground next to Chongguang Mental Hospital.
They are about to receive Lyon's special ghost-hunting training class.
Ali looked around, craned his neck and searched through the crowd for a long time before finally asking.
"Huh? Where's Yuan? Why isn't he here?"
Captain Lu cleared his throat and explained.
"Ah Yuan... has some personal matters to attend to, so he's taking the day off."
"Um?"
Ali frowned, a deep suspicion appearing on his face, and whispered to Aqiang beside him.
"That guy...could he have sensed there was a sinkhole in here beforehand and used that as an excuse to slip away?"
By this time, Chen Yuan had already left the building and was strolling around the streets of Hong Kong Island.
Of course, Captain Lu's claim about finding a master was just an excuse.
He currently has two things to do.
First, observe whether this world of Return of the Dead hides other storylines or characters.
After wandering through the bustling Nathan Road, the old Central Market, and the noisy Temple Street.
He found nothing, as if the world revolved solely around the tragedy of this building.
Secondly, visit temples and Taoist monasteries on Hong Kong Island to search for any potential masters.
Then, he collected a large number of so-called consecrated talismans, prayer beads, small Buddha statues, and so on.
Oh, and my wallet was almost completely emptied.
Chen Yuan had a feeling that these things were unreliable, but he still bought them anyway, so he stuffed them into a plastic bag and took them back to the building's security room.
At this moment, Captain Lu and his team had returned to the security room.
However, they all wore expressions of utter despair.
They either slumped in chairs or leaned against the wall, their eyes vacant, as if their souls had been ripped away.
Chen Yuan pretended to know nothing and showed a perfectly timed expression of confusion.
"Huh? What's going on with you guys? The training is so effective?"
Captain Lu waved his hand weakly, finding it too much effort even to lift his eyelids.
"Uh... don't even mention it."
"That guy's in the hospital."
Tie Dan slumped in the corner, adding with a resentful look on his face.
"You have no idea... that lunatic first made the twins dress up as girls, and then he made us play... play shit!"
"In the end, he injured himself with a bomb..."
Captain Lu's weary gaze fell on the bulging plastic bag in Chen Yuan's hand.
"Ah Yuan, what's this in your hand...?"
Chen Yuan remained calm and composed. He placed the plastic bag on the table and began to take out the items one by one, as if displaying treasures.
Yellow talisman paper, cinnabar beads, wooden Buddha statues, bronze vajra...
Captain Lu looked at the dazzling array of religious artifacts, then glanced at the indifferent Chen Yuan, his lips twitching several times: "Yuan...how many masters...how many exactly? A mix of Taoist priests and Buddhist monks..."
Chen Yuan: (▽*)
He remained calm and composed.
"My master is a highly accomplished Taoist master with a wide circle of friends. It is very reasonable and normal for fellow Taoists from all over the world, both Buddhist and Taoist, to give him Taoist artifacts."
Captain Lu: "
He was silent for a few seconds, then hope rekindled in his eyes.
"Ah Yuan! Can your master... come and help in person? I can chip in the money! Everyone can contribute!"
Chen Yuan coughed twice, turned his back, and avoided the expectant gazes of the crowd.
"He...is busy."
"I recently took on a rush job, catching flying zombies for someone in the deep mountains and forests of western Hunan."
"What is a flying zombie?"
A-Qiang asked, dumbfounded.
Tie Dan rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.
"You idiot! Of course it's a flying zombie! Don't you even know that!"
