Gao Ge and Meng Jing sit in the same car with the short-haired girl. When the girl is talking towards the phone, her face looks so much smaller on the screen and her body becomes far slimmer. What"s the most terrifying is that her short legs look longer on the screen.
"Alas! Thanks for the big rockets sent by Handsome Flame! Ha ha! Weren"t you caught for being with a hooker? Are you released now? I miss you so much!"
"Wow! Many thanks for the 500 shrimp meatb.a.l.l.s from Mr. Silent Steps! Have you not been writing? If you have any time, remember to watch me!"
"My thanks also go to Mr. Qingluan Peak for the 700 shrimp meatb.a.l.l.s. Ha ha. I am going to give you a live broadcast in the haunted building in Suzhou! I bet you didn"t know that. The haunted building in Suzhou is really scary. If you are free, remember to do some research about it online!"
In the car, the girl keeps thanking different people.
Gao Ge can"t help sighing and thinking that these people must thank Mr. Yuan who solved the problem of food in Huaxia. Otherwise, how can they be able to be idling away after getting full?
Gao Ge gets to notice that the farther the car goes, the closer they are to the tube-shaped apartment building and the fewer people they can see. All the houses are shut. Maybe a lot of families living near the building all have moved away. It is quite a serious problem.
If they cannot solve it earlier, people will be unimaginably panicked.
If it were back in the old times, the government could still claim that they were superst.i.tious. However, it has already been the times of aura recovery, when there are more and more cultivators. If by now people are still criticized for being superst.i.tious, it is quite ridiculous.
After they arrive at the nearby place, they still have quite a long way to go before reaching the tube-shaped apartment building. The car stops.
Gao Ge and Meng Jing get off the car. So do Xia Lu and the rest people.
Watching the tube-shaped apartment building in front of him, Gao Ge has a feeling of suppression as if a rock is placed on his heart. He can"t help raising his head to look at the grey clouds above him. It looks like the atmosphere of this place has changed weirdly.
"It seems that this place is quite strange indeed." Xia Lu walks to the front of Gao Ge and says.
Gao Ge nods his head.
It is quite obvious. Nothing more needs to be said.
At the time, the short-haired camgirl walks towards them again.
"What do you do? Why are you here?"
"For adventure." Gao Ge says with a smile.
"Oh! Then you must protect yourselves! If you really encounter any dangerous situation, we will try our best to help you; however, if we can hardly look after ourselves, we won"t be able to help you then." The camgirl says smilingly.
Gao Ge nods his head. Whether she really means it or just fakes it in the live show to gain some rockets or shrimp meatb.a.l.l.s, it is not important. The fact that she is willing to give a kind reminder is good enough.
After all, they don"t know each other.
The camgirl looks at the man in a cap, asking, "Where is Master Wen? Has he arrived here?"
"Here he comes!" The man in a cap points to the back.
A man wearing a Chinese tunic suit, who is about 50 years old, gets out of a minivan. With a tall and straight figure and a poker face, he is holding a compa.s.s in his hand and does look like a capable man.
A group of young men hurry to run over.
"Master Wen, do you think this place is really haunted?"
The man called as Master Wen walks forward for a few steps and takes a deep breath, saying with a frown, "I, Wen Yihuan, have been to many places and gone through a lot of ups and downs. I was even run over by a train before. Yet, this is my first time that I have seen such a dangerous place."
Hearing what Master Wen said, the young men"s faces become pale.
"In this case, do you have any solution?" The camgirl asks cautiously.
"Yes."
"What?"
"Increase the payment!" Master Wen says determinedly.
The camgirl says, "Rest a.s.sured. Master Wen, we don"t take advantage of you, but you must ensure our safety after we go in there."
Master Wen says with a sneer, "With my awe-inspiring righteousness, G.o.ds and ghosts can never come near me! Wait for me here, and I will scout ahead! However, before I set off…" Saying that, he reaches out his hand and rubs the thumb against the index finger. It is probably a universal gesture for money, which is historically recognized.
Yue Xincheng mumbles, "He acts like Captain Teemo and also talks about being run over by a train. He is rather good at talking nonsense…"
Gao Ge pulls a long face and says in a loud voice, "Don"t insult Master Wen like that!"
Yue Xincheng stops talking.
Master Wen and those young men also look at them.
Although they don"t know what Yue Xincheng just said, they still want to beat up Yue Xincheng.
"Boss, you give me away…" Yue Xincheng is so angry that he really wants to stamp on his feet and shouts--"How poor I am!"
"Hmm. Master Wen is a capable man who lives in seclusion. And you can see that from his look. This is what the saying--the face is the index of the heart means. Only with a Taoist heart can he be sanctimonious, oh no, be able to follow the rules of nature. Look! Master Wen is going into the tube-shaped apartment building to capture the ghosts!" Gao Ge continues to say.
Master Wen becomes rather embarra.s.sed.
He never says that he is not going inside. Why does Gao Ge have to brag about him to this extent…
He coughs and no longer drags his feet, saying, "I am going now and shall show you guys what a truly capable man is like!"
After saying that, Master Wen strides towards the tube-shaped apartment building.
"Master Wen, good for you!"
"Master Wen is so awesome!"
"Master Wen is great!"
The young men, who come with the camgirl, shout loudly, cheering up for their Master Wen.
However, something happens within a short while.
"Drag Master Wen back!"
"Master Wen, wake up!"
"Master Wen, are you okay?"
"Is he dead?"
Gao Ge coughs and says to Yue Xincheng nearby, "Did you see that? This is called throwing a rock forward for the direction."
Yue Xincheng instantly gives him a thumbs-up, "I have learnt it."
While the young men shout "Pinch his philtrum" and "Pour cold water on him," Master Wen slowly opens his eyes.
"There is ghost indeed!"
Master Wen says with a ferocious face.
The young men all keep silent but Gao Ge, just like having the ability of mind-reading now, knows what they are exactly thinking.
"I know it clearly."
That must be what they have in mind.
Gao Ge takes a few steps forward and watches the tube-shaped apartment building. Again, he gets the feeling of suppression.
He frowns and takes a few more steps forward.
"Gao Ge!" Meng Jing screams.
Gao Ge pauses and turns around, waving at them to show that he is fine.
The young men also look at Gao Ge.
Master Wen sits on the ground and narrows his eyes, saying with a sneer, "How reckless! Even I don"t dare to try again."
Gao Ge turns around and walks ahead again. He closes his eyes to feel the pressure flooding from all around.
He has a strange feeling that is just like when you press a ping pong into the water, you can obviously feel the pressure ahead.
As long as you let go a bit, the ping pong will be bounced back.
Unwittingly, he has taken dozens of steps ahead.
The people behind him are all shocked.
"How can he…" The camgirl says out of surprise.
Master Wen rolls his eyes and hastens to say, "Isn"t it obvious? I just had an intangible battle with the evil spirit of this place and greatly impaired it. Otherwise, how could he go that far?"
The camgirl and the others take a tumble and nod their heads, all of whom quite agree to him.
Yue Xincheng can"t stand it anymore and says, "If so, how about standing up and walking in front of my boss?"
Master Wen shows the whites of his eyes and pa.s.ses out again. Yet, he looks like faking this time.
"I"ll go to have a look too." After saying that, the man in a cap beside the camgirl runs towards Gao Ge.
However, he just pa.s.ses out after taking only a few steps.
