Chapter 81 "The Apartment"
"You don't need to worry about those people attacking you. After all, this is Dajing City, and they will give headquarters some face," Zhong Shan said.
"I hope so."
Sun Rui knew the temperament of some paranormal organizations; they didn't care whether it was a major or minor city like Beijing.
If you want to take action, you can do it anytime.
It's unclear which side Lin Long is backed by.
Chen Yi didn't concern himself with their personal grudges; he just needed to focus on doing his job well.
Soon, Lin Zhensheng and Sun Yan's identity information was registered.
They also gave themselves code names: Lin Zhensheng the Scary Ghost and Sun Yan the Blood Talisman.
As for their specific abilities, they certainly won't reveal them, and headquarters won't force them to disclose their abilities.
After completing all this work, the group got into a special car sent by headquarters.
As soon as Sun Rui got into the car, he noticed that these vehicles were specially made, with the interior layers made of gold.
"Don't worry, every Ghost Rider needs to take this kind of vehicle when they come to Dajing City," Zhong Shan explained.
Sun Rui nodded without saying anything.
There are only two types of ghost riders who come to Dajing City: one type is like him, who are invited by headquarters to attend a meeting.
Another possibility is that a vengeful ghost is about to resurrect, and the person seeking to control the second vengeful ghost is looking for someone to manage it.
The latter is often very close to the resurrection of a vengeful ghost, and some necessary measures still need to be taken.
At the same time, each of the demon tamers is mentally unstable, and they may encounter other demon tamers in such a metropolis, which could lead to conflict.
It would be absolutely necessary to have a private car for each person.
Sun Rui tilted his head and looked out at the tall buildings outside the car window. He felt that something was wrong with Dajing City.
Logically speaking, Dajing City should be quite normal now, yet it gave him a vague sense of familiarity.
I just don't know where this feeling comes from.
"Have there been any paranormal events in Dajing City recently?" Sun Rui asked.
"No, not at all. Even if it happened, it wouldn't be a big deal. Dajing City is probably the safest city in all of Asia. There are three people in charge here, and other ghost-controlling organizations are also here." Zhong Shan thought Sun Rui was afraid of encountering paranormal events, so he explained.
Sun Rui nodded, no longer paying attention to the unusual activity outside.
He has now made up his mind to retreat once he gets the ghost candle.
As for the captain's position, it can either be used to exchange for some supernatural items, or a decision can be made quickly.
The waters in Dajing City are quite deep now, and Sun Rui is afraid he will drown.
Zhong Shan did not take them directly to the headquarters, but instead went to the place where they would be staying for the next few days.
Outside the Ping An Hotel.
Four specially made cars were parked at the entrance.
The ghost tamers who were resting in the lobby on the first floor heard the commotion and looked outside.
"Is another person in charge here? Let me see who it is?"
"What's so interesting about this? It's just another bunch of people who, like us, are going to die young."
"Does that person up ahead look familiar?"
"Holy crap, it's Sun Rui, the one who solved the S-level paranormal case before."
Some people had seen Sun Rui's file a long time ago, so they recognized him at a glance.
The appearance of Sun Rui at this time was somewhat different from that in his file.
After all, ever since he mastered Ghost Haze, his skin has appeared extremely pale, even deathly pale.
Previously, due to the sick ghost he had been controlling, his complexion had become sallow, and he appeared to be terminally ill.
Sun Rui quickly scanned the people in the lobby on the first floor. Apart from the Ghost Tamer, all the staff at the Ping An Hotel were carefully selected.
The four of them walked in without causing any tension among the staff.
The staff had clearly been trained beforehand.
As for ghost tamers, they are almost all characters who control a single vengeful ghost, and there's nothing particularly noteworthy about them.
Sun Rui and his group ignored the ghost tamer's gaze and headed straight for the elevator.
However, at this moment, a ghost tamer stepped forward and blocked their way.
"Are you Sun Rui?" the man asked.
Sun Rui didn't speak, but glanced at Zhong Shan beside him.
Zhong Shan nodded: "His name is Ma Yufei, and he's from the same organization as Lin Long."
"I'll give you 10 seconds to get out of the way, or I won't hesitate to kill you right here," Sun Rui said expressionlessly.
"You! You killed Lin Long for no reason, don't you want to give an explanation?" Ma Yufei said angrily.
Sun Rui didn't speak, but silently counted down.
"Ten...nine...eight...seven..."
He looked like he was about to attack if we didn't move aside.
However, Ma Yufei simply did not believe that Sun Rui would dare to make a move in Beijing.
But he regretted it after the countdown ended.
The surrounding environment was originally the lobby on the first floor, but I don't know when it changed completely.
At this moment, there was a door in front of him, the door number was 404.
"Damn it, how dare he lay a hand on me?" Ma Yufei cursed inwardly.
Doesn't Sun Rui fear the power of the organization behind him at all?
Although their headquarters are not under the jurisdiction of the Asian headquarters, they have members in several cities across the country.
Moreover, they also have a branch in this major city of Beijing.
……
Sun Rui looked at Ma Yufei, who was already in a hallucination, and found it somewhat amusing.
This person can't even resist the illusion of ghostly haze, yet he still wants to provoke me; he's practically courting death.
"Sun Rui, be careful. This is, after all, Beijing," Zhong Shan reminded him from the side.
"I know, it's just to teach him a small lesson. If he can't even handle this, then his death will have been in vain," Sun Rui said.
Zhong Shan was silent for a moment, then said, "As long as he survives, I'll stand by your side if headquarters asks."
Sun Rui nodded. In his memory, Zhong Shan wanted to build a team and then win a captain's position.
And now he is the best target to win over, since he has no other organization behind him.
"The organization behind Ma Yufei is called 'Apartment,' and it has quite a bit of influence overseas, but it's not so much in Asia," Zhong Shan said.
This is why he dared to stand on Sun Rui's side.
"Are all organizations in the paranormal community named this bizarrely?" Sun Rui complained.
First there was something called "WeChat Moments," and now there's something called "Apartment."
Why not just let WeChat Moments join the apartment complex?
"You should know about some other paranormal organizations, but this 'apartment' organization actually has a haunted apartment building." Zhong Shan shook his head, not taking the bait with Sun Rui's lame joke.
"Oh...that's kind of interesting," Sun Rui said.
At this moment, Chen Yi's voice interrupted their conversation.
"Sun Rui, that's enough. Ma Yufei has used supernatural powers twice in such a short period of time. If this continues, he's doomed. I don't want any supernatural incidents to happen here," Chen Yi said.
"If I let him go, then who will let me go? If a supernatural event really happens, I'll handle it," Sun Rui said.
He never intended to let Ma Yufei go from the very beginning.
After all, killing one enemy is the same as killing two. So why not weaken the enemy's strength beforehand?
He understood this simple truth.
