Chapter 103 - Zhong Fabai, was I carried by my disciple through a high-end game?
"That guy just died like that?"
"But those who were possessed are still fine, aren't they?"
"A Taoist priest has made a move, why aren't those guys dead yet!"
In a magnificent Hotel, a group of people were gathered in a room, discussing something.
"If he died, he died. Doesn't that just prove that guy wasn't enough to get into this? I originally wanted him to take control of the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs, but it turns out he's so useless."
One of the fat men took a big bite of the meat in front of him, then grumbled discontentedly.
The The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs was not important to them at first, but if there was one more ghost, then letting the ghost control the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs would naturally be good for them.
But they hadn't expected that the murderer would be taken down so quickly.
"Indeed, let's not touch the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs for now. It's not that necessary for us anyway. But what about that Taoist priest? These Taoist priests have been restless lately. The formation previously set up in that building was also destroyed by someone."
A gray-clothed old man said, a hint of gloom flashing across his face.
He had just absorbed some souls, and these souls, which died unjustly and then harmed others, were incredibly tempting to him. Many years had passed, and because they had kept the news under wraps, no Taoist priests had discovered the situation here.
But a few days ago, the formation in this place was broken, and all the previous ghosts were eliminated.
This also made him depressed for several days.
"It was done by the same Taoist priest. Look at this surveillance footage."
With their status, getting surveillance footage was incredibly simple.
Bai Ye appeared in the surveillance of the girls' school. As for how he killed Chen Fu Lai, that was unknown.
"Those two from the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs got involved with him?"
The The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs had some information on ghosts, and they also hoped to use the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs to deal with some ghosts.
After all, if Hong Kong was controlled by ghosts, how could they enjoy everything they had now?
"Why not revoke the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs's authority?"
"Are you out of your mind? Wouldn't that be telling that Taoist priest that we have someone above us?"
As ghosts, they only had the ability to possess. Although possessed people looked no different from ordinary people, they had no way to deal with Taoist priests.
So, once that Taoist priest found out, the other party could really easily kill them.
"Then what should we do? We can't just stand by and watch, can we?"
If they didn't delete the data, were they supposed to worship it?
"Actually, we can let this Taoist priest kill other ghosts. Those ghosts have considerable power. Give him that information to help us solve some ghosts that we can't solve. I think dealing with that Taoist priest is very simple. No matter how powerful he is, isn't he afraid of guns and cannons?
At that time, as soon as he loses his usefulness, we can just let our subordinates clean up Bai Ye. As long as we give him the title of a ruthless bandit, isn't that simple for us?"
Dealing with Bai Ye was simple, but dealing with other ghosts was not so simple.
Bai Ye was a Taoist priest, not Superman. Was he not afraid of guns?
"What you said makes sense. Let him and those ghosts fight each other. If he solves them, then it's eliminating a threat for us. If he dies, then we don't have to worry anymore. We won't infiltrate the The Department of Miscellaneous Affairs for now. We'll leave it to those humans, and we'll provide them with some ghost information!"
After a moment's thought, they suddenly realized that their previous ideas were somewhat flawed.
How good would it be to use Bai Ye to kill other ghosts for them? In the end, just give Bai Ye a quick death, sending him to the underworld with a few bursts of gunfire.
"Boss, this is the latest information I've found. I've already sent it to you. Please let me know if you have any questions."
"I understand. Keep your talismans safe."
Bai Ye received all the information from Four Eyes.
It wasn't a big deal until he looked at it, but after reading it, Bai Ye realized that there were truly many strange things in this world.
Huangshan Village, Curse Paradise, Miyake Issey, Walking corpses transporting powder, and various other Hong Kong horror stories all existed.
Bai Ye was familiar with Miyake Issey, after all, it was the beginning of Zhong Fabai's high-end game downfall.
After organizing the information, Bai Ye looked at the dim yellow light outside, stretched, and got up from the office. Outside the door, Pat immediately stood up and came to Bai Ye, asking, "Boss, the late-night snack I just ordered, do you want some?"
After getting things settled at the company, Pat immediately started working. Although her salary might not be as high as before, the front desk had little to do, and working there also gave her a greater sense of security.
"Eat a little. By the way, you can leave after work. Aren't you afraid of working so late?"
She had experienced being used as a scapegoat by a ghost before. Wasn't she afraid?
"Boss, don't laugh at me. Compared to getting off work early, I feel safer here!"
Pat's face flashed with a bitter smile. She wanted to get off work, but when she thought of her previous experience, she even thought that staying by Bai Ye's side was the best.
Maybe there would still be ghosts when she went back?
Recently, she also planned to move to this vicinity directly after her rent expired.
"Alright, I won't eat the late-night snack. I still have something to do later. You and Ah Yi can eat together."
Bai Ye looked at the paper crane in his hand, then at the calendar beside him, feeling something in his heart.
Hearing Bai Ye's refusal, a hint of disappointment flashed in Pat's eyes. Eating a late-night snack was one thing, but she also wanted to bridge the gap between herself and Bai Ye. However, seeing Bai Ye's demeanor, he didn't seem to care much about such matters, which made Pat completely give up her last bit of hope.
She also knew that Bai Ye most likely didn't want to be in a relationship, or that she wasn't Bai Ye's type, but no matter which it was, she now chose to give up and respect Bai Ye's choice.
"Master, why don't we retreat?"
Elsewhere, beside Zhong Fabai, Jin Mike pulled Zhong Fabai, ready to run.
He was really furious now. He hadn't expected that Meng Chao, that unreliable guy, wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, making the situation so awkward now.
Although it seemed like Zhong Fabai could temporarily fight Miyake Issey now, Jin Mike wasn't a fool. He could naturally see that if the fight continued, Zhong Fabai would definitely be killed.
He held the gun, trembling, and aimed it at Miyake Issey, firing a few shots, but the gun had little effect on Miyake Issey.
However, it successfully interrupted his attack for a moment.
"You guys go, I'll hold him off!"
"Master!!"
A hint of emotion flashed in Jin Mike's eyes. Although he was usually unreliable, he clearly understood why Zhong Fabai was doing this.
He was going to sacrifice himself, which made Jin Mike hate himself even more. If it weren't for them, Zhong Fabai probably wouldn't be like this, and it was also because Meng Chao didn't dare to kill a chicken. If he had known Meng Chao didn't even dare to kill a chicken, he would have done it himself. Now, the Master was going to die because of them.
Inspector He, who was standing by, was also at a loss at this moment, looking back and forth between the three of them. She wanted to leave because she was scared, but she also knew that she couldn't abandon Zhong Fabai at this time.
They were the ones who caused the trouble.
"Take this phone, call the first person in the contacts, and tell him that if I die, he must remember not to impulsively seek revenge!"
Phone?
Meng Chao subconsciously took the phone, looking at it blankly, while Jin Mike reacted quickly, snatching the phone and saying, "Oh, hurry up and call the first person! Go to the West to invite the Buddha!"
From Zhong Fabai's words, he understood that the first person was probably his Taoist brother or something.
Call for backup!
Miyake Issey, at this moment, had also lost the mood to play. He rushed towards Zhong Fabai in a quick stride. As long as Zhong Fabai was dealt with, the people here could be killed at any time.
Jin Mike also became anxious. As he picked up the phone to dial, a whistling sound like wind brushed past his ear. Then, on Miyake Issey's head, who was rapidly attacking Zhong Fabai, a figure holding something similar to a Ninja kunai in his hand, with a huge blue Rasengan in his other hand, rotated 180 degrees and directly struck Miyake Issey's back with the Rasengan.
Boom!!!
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and a powerful explosion instantly sent the surrounding people flying.
As the smoke cleared, Bai Ye stepped on Miyake Issey's head, chuckling as he looked at Zhong Fabai and teased, "Yo, old man, looks like I came just in time. I'm not late, am I?"
After the paper crane informed him of the anomaly, Bai Ye immediately returned to Zhong Fabai's location.
He hadn't forgotten that his cheap master had died at Miyake Issey's hands.
Actually, he wasn't sure which Hungry Ghost Festival it was, so he just left the paper crane. Once an anomaly appeared, he would quickly come to resolve it.
He sized up Zhong Fabai, and after confirming that he was not injured, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Zhong Fabai had saved him and even accepted him as a disciple to teach him skills back then.
It would be inexcusable if he, knowing the plot, still allowed Zhong Fabai to lose an arm or even die.
"Bai Ye, is that you?!" Zhong Fabai's eyes flashed with surprise after seeing who it was. Then, seeing Miyake Issey still struggling to get up, he quickly reminded, "Bai Ye, that guy is a Ghost King. Let's work together to deal with him!"
Miyake Issey now seemed to be subdued by Bai Ye.
He had to take advantage of this moment to eliminate the opponent.
"No need for so much trouble, old man. Watch carefully, I'll only teach you once!"
As Bai Ye spoke, a flame traveled from his hand and touched Miyake Issey's body. The burning sensation caused Miyake Issey extreme pain; even the previous Rasengan had only made him feel a little pain.
But fire was different. Fire, like lightning, was a natural counter to evil beings, and Bai Ye was also a Fire Spirit Body.
In a short while, Miyake Issey's body was completely incinerated by Bai Ye.
This scene left Zhong Fabai stunned. Was I, by my own disciple, carried through a high-end game?
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he quickly walked to Bai Ye, raised his hand to touch Bai Ye's body, and then burst into laughter: "Fire Spirit Body!! My disciple is actually a Fire Spirit Body!!! No wonder he's a genius!!"
He finally understood why Bai Ye could so easily deal with Miyake Issey.
He possessed the Fire Spirit Body, which could counter all evil in the world. This was a physique just like the Lightning Spirit Body!
Although he could also deal with Miyake Issey, if it hadn't been for Meng Chao, that unreliable guy, even if he lost, he wouldn't have died.
And his disciple could easily deal with Miyake Issey, which also gave Zhong Fabai hope for the revival of Taoism.
In this Dharma-ending age, it was extremely difficult to produce a Spirit Body.
"Disciple!!!?"
Jin Mike and the other two exchanged glances. They had originally thought that Zhong Fabai's senior or junior brothers or even his master would come, but it turned out to be his disciple, and this disciple seemed a bit too brave, didn't he?
"Yes, this is my disciple, Bai Ye. As his master, I am naturally more powerful, but some teammates are just too unreliable!"
Since the ghost was dealt with, Zhong Fabai no longer needed to be tense. He just wanted to be sarcastic for a bit. If it weren't for Meng Chao, that useless teammate, how would he have ended up like this?
And Meng Chao naturally lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Zhong Fabai.
It was indeed because of him, but the outcome was good.
"Old man, this matter is not as simple as you think. There's a Haunted Club underneath their police station. If it's not dealt with, problems will continue to arise later."
"You've grown up."
"After this matter is over, I have something I want to discuss with you, old man."
Bai Ye wanted to invite Zhong Fabai to join his ghost-hunting company after dealing with this matter.
Now he understood that there were truly many ghosts in this world. He alone probably wasn't enough. Later, not only Zhong Fabai, but also other Taoist priests he could invite, he would invite all of them to join.
The two of them worked together to deal with the Haunted Club at the police station, and also declined Inspector Ah Xin's invitation. In Bai Ye's ear, a notification sound indicated that he had received another chance to draw a prize.
Bai Ye temporarily ignored it. Instead, he and Zhong Fabai found a secluded place. Bai Ye told Zhong Fabai some information, and at the same time, looked at him seriously and reminded him, "Old man, do we have many Taoist priests here, but there has been no news? I suspect that among those in power, many have dealings with evil Taoists, or rather, there are ghosts among them.
I once encountered a type of ghost that was basically indistinguishable from ordinary people.
It can be said that as long as they don't reveal themselves much, even Taoist priests basically can't detect them. It was only after I went out this time that I discovered there are so many ghosts in this world.
All those messages have been hidden. Ordinary people, even Taoist priests, can't get information about ghosts. Old man, I need your help now!!!"
