Chapter 17 Lin die
Chapter 17 Lin die
In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Zheng still did not rest, nor did he go to the prepared rest room. Instead, he stayed in the pavilion in the community, staring intently at the direction of Building 5.
Several searchlights surrounded the five buildings, illuminating them as if it were daytime, so any changes could be clearly seen.
After guarding for several hours, nothing changed. The ghost servants inside had all gathered at the building entrance, but it was as if there was a dividing line. Although the door on the first floor of the building was not locked, not a single ghost servant came out.
Zhou Zheng's mood did not relax at all; on the contrary, he became increasingly uneasy.
"Didn't you already submit a lockdown application to headquarters? Why are you still so worried?" Lin Yuan also came out at some point, looking in the direction of Building 5 as well.
Zhou Zheng sighed and gently stroked his protruding belly with his right hand.
If he were a woman, the scene would surely be very heartwarming, but the scene before us is so eerie, reminiscent of a melancholy man from Journey to the West who drank the water of the Mother-Child River.
"How can I be at ease with this scene before me? Anyway, I don't need to sleep anymore, so I'll keep watch for a few days first. If paranormal events happen in other places, I can deal with them later."
Lin Yuan glanced at him. "You're certainly doing your job well."
"We are destined to die young, but I still have family. If possible, I want to create a safe environment for them so that they won't die at the hands of vengeful ghosts."
Before becoming a ghost tamer, Zhou Zheng was just an ordinary person.
Lin Yuan nodded without saying anything more, then turned and left. After a while, he returned with two bottles of frozen beer and some barbecue.
Zhou Zheng didn't stand on ceremony, and the two of them started eating.
Lin Yuan was truly experiencing this atmosphere. In the past, when he entered delusional hallucinations due to narcolepsy, he was either about to die or on his way to death, and he had very little feeling for this world.
Now look what's happened.
I just took a nap, and now I can still feel the chill of the beer and enjoy delicious barbecue. It feels so great!
Actually, if the fantasy world weren't set against the backdrop of a mysterious resurrected world, living here might not be so bad.
You can eat whatever you want without worrying about losing your figure or developing high blood pressure. You can even do many things as you please.
Anyway, dying is just returning to reality and waking up.
If you think about it that way, then it truly is a delusion and illusion.
Ordinary dreams are very vague, and only a slight stimulus is needed to wake up.
But his dream was remarkably vivid, evoking the same sensations as in reality: the taste of beer, the spiciness of barbecue, the coolness of the night breeze…
Every feeling was incredibly real, as if he had truly traveled to a mysteriously revived world!
It's no wonder; in a dream this realistic, without the shock of death, it's impossible to wake up.
"You've heard so much about me, but what about you? You haven't told me about your situation yet." Zhou Zheng held a beer bottle in one hand and a skewer of barbecue in the other. His cold and stiff face had lost some of its numbness and gained a touch of life.
Lin Yuan took a big gulp of beer and said in a low voice, "I have no family in this world."
"This...I'm sorry." Zhou Zheng's eyes were full of apology.
Lin Yuan shook his head, picked up a beer bottle and clinked it against Zhou Zheng's. With a crisp sound, he looked at Zhou Zheng very seriously and said, "However, I have a friend."
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, then forced a smile. "Okay! Friend! I consider you my friend too!"
The two chatted for a long time and seemed to have a fairly good time.
Even the eerie opera and singing sounds in Lin Yuan's mind seemed to weaken at this moment.
But soon, the walkie-talkie Zhou Zheng had placed nearby rang, and a staff member's anxious voice came through: "That car that broke in this afternoon is here again!"
"Let them in."
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Zhou Zheng said with a serious expression, "Ye Jun has probably brought people here to cause trouble. You should hide for a while, and I'll handle the negotiations with them."
"Zhou Zheng, you think too highly of yourself. What do you really think a mere city official is, trying to negotiate with us?"
During the day, that SUV drove straight in.
Ignoring the obstruction at the community guard post, Ye Jun crashed through the railing and drove straight to the pavilion. He pushed open the car door and got out, sneering repeatedly, showing no regard for Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng was not annoyed.
He was already used to the arrogance of the Xiaoqiang Club, and calmly said, "Ye Jun, Lin Yuan is now a registered prospective manager at headquarters. Do you dare to lay a hand on him?"
"Hmph! Do you really think we didn't investigate this time? Headquarters didn't receive any personal information about Lin Yuan. Right now, he's just a wild ghost tamer! Also, I'm not in charge this time. If you have anything to say, talk to Brother Feng."
Ye Jun moved aside.
Ye Feng, also wearing a trench coat but bundled up even more tightly, got out of the passenger seat. His gaze swept over Zhou Zheng, finally landing on Lin Yuan. "You're Lin Yuan?"
"No, my surname is also Lin. You can call me Father Lin," Lin Yuan said calmly.
He originally wanted to give Zhou Zheng some face, but unfortunately Zhou Zheng didn't have much face in front of Xiaoqiang Club, so he had no choice but to step forward.
In reality, he may still have various concerns.
But in a delusional world, whoever backs down is a coward!
"Lin Die?" Ye Feng frowned and looked at Ye Jun, clearly questioning him silently.
Ye Jun hurriedly said, "This afternoon, Zhou Zheng called that kid Lin Yuan, and that bastard Ouyang Tian also owed Lin Yuan on the IOU he wrote. This kid is teasing you, and... Lin-dei, isn't that Lin-die, your dad, your dad? He's taking advantage of you!"
Understanding the situation, Ye Feng was immediately filled with anger. "Fine! These newbies these days really have tempers, so blatant about taking advantage of others. But you should also know that taking advantage of me isn't so easy! I hope you have the same strength as your temper. Otherwise..."
According to his original plan, he intended to have a talk with Lin Yuan.
The fact that Lin Yuan was able to suppress Ye Jun in a short time shows that he is quite strong. If he can recruit someone like him, he will have more say in the Xiaoqiang Club in the future.
But Lin Yuan's temper is clearly that of a troublemaker.
There are only two ways to deal with a troublemaker: either use force to remove the troublemaker's barbs, or beat the troublemaker out of the ground.
Ye Feng chose... um?
What's going on? My body... I can't move.
Even the expression on his face froze at that moment, out of control.
Ye Jun hurriedly shouted, "Watch out! Look at your shadow!"
