Chapter 15, First Friend
Chapter 15, First Friend
Does this curse also have a passive effect of reducing damage and increasing recovery?
Lin Yuan raised his head and put on the Great Sage mask that he had been clutching tightly in his hand, covering his eerie left face, but his eye was still sticking out, and he looked normal again.
"Lin Yuan? Zhou Zheng, do you know this kid?"
Feeling his body regain its mobility, Ye Jun subtly took two steps back, his eyes full of vigilance.
The bizarre feeling of losing control just now was terrifying, as if he had lost control of his body. He didn't want to die, so it was best not to fight against such a tough opponent if possible.
"know."
Zhou Zheng didn't offer much explanation, "Lin Yuan, how are you? Did you hurt yourself?"
"It's nothing serious."
Lin Yuan shook his head, then with one hand on the roof of the car, he flipped over and landed on the ground, showing great agility.
In just a short while, the pain from falling from a great height had completely disappeared, clearly proving his earlier guess to be correct.
We'll need to test it out to find out the exact situation.
"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
Lin Yuan, standing before him, had clearly become a ghost tamer and was also involved in the supernatural events surrounding the Mirror Actor. He needed to learn more about it; perhaps he could resolve this supernatural incident.
Moreover, he clearly didn't want Ye Jun to get involved.
But why would Ye Jun agree? He would receive a decent referral fee for discovering new ghost tamers and bringing them into the Xiaoqiang Club.
Moreover, Lin Yuan's abilities were quite terrifying just now, and the two of them had a conflict. He really couldn't rest easy until he figured out the situation.
As for the reasons, they're easy to find.
"Let's talk about compensation first. Zhou Zheng, you're the person in charge of Dachang City. Your friend damaged my car roof for no reason. You're not going to refuse to pay for it, are you?"
Zhou Zheng was about to refuse with a cold face when Lin Yuan asked, "I just heard Zhou Zheng call you Ye Jun? You're from the Xiaoqiang Club, Ye Jun codenamed Ghost Hand?"
"Wow! So my reputation has grown that much that even a newbie knows about me? Yes, I'm Ye Jun from the Xiaoqiang Club. How about joining us?"
Ye Jun forced a smile, but his guard was already on high alert.
Lin Yuan shook his head and took out the IOU that Ouyang Tian had personally written and pressed his fingerprint on. "Perfect timing. Ouyang Tian, a member of your club, owes me ten million, but he should be dead now. So, shouldn't your united club help me settle this debt?"
What?
Ye Jun reached out to take the IOU, but Lin Yuan dodged him. "Just look at it, don't touch it. You can just swallow the IOU; I don't have a copy to look at."
Ye Jun snorted coldly and carefully examined the IOU.
He and Ouyang Tian had a fairly good relationship at Xiaoqiang Club, otherwise he wouldn't have come to check on Ouyang Tian's situation this time, so he also recognized Ouyang Tian's handwriting.
His face turned cold. "You just said Ouyang Tian is dead? You killed him?"
"That's right, he wanted to use me as cannon fodder to test the vengeful ghost's killing patterns, so I killed him beforehand. But debts don't go away after death, it's clearly written here, if his savings aren't enough, the Xiaoqiang Club can pay for it."
This was a clause that Lin Yuan specifically asked Ouyang Tian to add, and it was written very clearly.
Ye Jun didn't argue any further, because there was no need to.
He stared intently at Lin Yuan and asked, "Looks like you're not a newcomer, but a seasoned newcomer. What, are you here specifically to cause trouble for our club?"
"Looking for trouble? No, no, no, it should be said that it's about seeking justice, the justice of paying back debts." Lin Yuan shook his head.
When reading the novel in real life, Xiaoqiang Club is the villainous minor boss in the early stages, and as a reader, he always empathized with the protagonist Yang Jian, so naturally he couldn't like Xiaoqiang Club.
What truly upset Lin Yuan was Ouyang Tian's behavior in the room upstairs.
Relying on his control over the vengeful spirit, he possessed superhuman strength and forced ordinary people to test the vengeful spirit's killing patterns, which was one thing, but he actually caused such a tragic situation!
Lin Yuan didn't consider himself to have much kindness.
But as a quote I saw somewhere said: I was just passing by, not to help anyone, I just haven't learned to stand by and watch someone die!
This is his delusional fantasy, where death is nothing more than a new beginning.
It's like a virtual game with a 100% realistic mysterious resurrection background, but it's the kind where you can only complete it in one life, and if you die, you lose all your equipment and experience.
Even though the cost of death is high, if you can't even find peace of mind in a world where you can start over, then what's the point of life?
He also suspects that the reason his narcolepsy is linked to paranoia is because he has experienced too much repression while working over the years.
If he doesn't release these pent-up feelings in his delusions and fantasies, his illness will never get better!
However, he still didn't want to make himself too embarrassed, so he couldn't bring himself to say anything righteous like "I can't stand what you guys are doing on social media."
Ten million!
That's the perfect excuse!
"Ye Jun, Lin Yuan is my friend, and also a newcomer I'm planning to introduce to headquarters," Zhou Zheng said solemnly as he stood next to Lin Yuan.
Ye Jun's gaze swept over the two men, and he sneered, "Fine, I'll report this to President Wang when I get back. Zhou Zheng knows the location of Xiaoqiang Club. If you have the guts, come and collect your debt!"
The reason is there.
Lin Yuan didn't stop Ye Jun from leaving, but Zhou Zheng's face fell. "Lin Yuan, you were too reckless! Xiao Qiang Club is no ordinary club. Not only do they have many ghost tamers, but they also have one who can control two ghosts. Their strength is among the top in the country. Most importantly, Xiao Qiang Club also has the backing of the headquarters. Speaking of the headquarters... never mind, let's sit down first."
He was genuinely protecting Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan could feel his sincerity, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.
Speaking of which...
Zhou Zheng is the first and currently the only friend he has met in this delusional illusion.
The thought of what Zhou Zheng would face next roused him.
I just don't know if there's any conspiracy behind Zhou Zheng going to No. 7 Middle School for a safety class, or if he's just a cannon fodder NPC prepared to help Yang Jian join the supernatural world.
But since he's here, if things really come to this, I might have to have a good run-in with him just to feel better.
Even if the final result can only end with his death!
