Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 540

[Chapter 537: Preparing to Catch Ghosts]

David was about to leave, but Director Zhang immediately stood up to stop him: “Even if you want to leave, Mr. Glamorgan, please tell me about the situation before you leave!”

Regardless of whether David is responsible for solving the problem at the police station, at least he should handle the beginning and end of the current job properly, right?

David was just pretending, and he certainly didn’t want to miss such an interesting thing, so he sat back down the stairs.

Seeing that they couldn’t get any information from David, the few people stopped bothering about it and talked seriously about the situation at the police station.

In addition to the four of them, the police also invited several masters to observe the police station.

According to those people, this police station does have some hidden dangers, but it’s not a big deal. As long as they handle it carefully, they can naturally avoid this disaster .

“Several masters have mentioned the Zhongyuan Festival. As long as they can get through that day smoothly, nothing will happen again.”

Director Zhang said something to ease the atmosphere and turn the topic back to business.

“What do you think?”

Zhong Fabai looked around and saw that several young people were looking at him. He knew that he had to speak first, so he said his opinion directly: “In my opinion, what you said is not unreasonable, but I feel that the evil spirit suppressed by the police station is quite strange and dangerous. Even if it is not the Zhongyuan Festival, we should be careful.”

Zhong Fabai suggested that a set of formations be set up in that police station to cooperate with the masculine and righteous energy in the police station to continue to dissipate the evil spirit. If you persist for a period of time, there will naturally be no danger.

When Zhong Fabai finished speaking, Zhang Lihua also expressed her agreement. She and Zhong Fabai had similar views.

“Miss Ma and Mr. Glamorgan think so too?”

Director Zhang turned his head to look at the two people on the left. Ma Xiaoling glanced at David and said her opinion first: “In addition to setting up formations, it is best to stay at the police station for a day on the Zhongyuan Festival, just in case.”

“Miss Ma thinks that the formation alone cannot suppress those evil spirits?”

Zhong Fabai and Zhang Lihua looked at Ma Xiaoling, then at David, wondering what this person thought?

The attention was focused on him again. This time there was nothing to dodge. David gave his answer very straightforwardly: “No matter the formation or the people, it can’t be suppressed.”

“…”

Originally, it was thought that the conclusions of Zhang Tianshi and Zhong Daochang were bad enough, and Miss Ma’s arrangements were even more cautious.

But no one expected that David’s conclusion would be even worse.

David obviously determined that something would happen to the police station, and the suggestions made by the people present could not solve the problem.

Director Zhang remained calm on the surface, but he was somewhat suspicious in his heart. Did David deliberately make things so serious in order to make more money?

“Everyone only thinks about suppressing it. Year after year, the evil spirits have not decreased at all, but have become more and more suppressed. The resentment of those suppressed evil spirits is getting stronger and stronger. It is time to suppress it.”

David ignored the eyes of the crowd and finished his opinion in one breath.

“Even if we can successfully suppress it this time, the next outbreak will only be more dangerous. What should we do then?” David glanced at Director Zhang: “Moreover, these police stations renovated from old buildings will be demolished one after another in the next few years, right? When there is no masculine and righteous suppression from the police station, the evil ghosts will be born and people will die on the construction site, which will be more troublesome!”

“Hiss~ Makes sense!” Director Zhang nodded when he heard this. The demolition of the police station in the future must be taken into consideration.

The police station was originally on the list of demolition and reconstruction. It would be a headache if it was haunted during the demolition. If someone died…

As for why there must be evil ghosts, several people present actually saw this, and they all knew the identity of the evil ghosts: the group of Japanese officers who committed suicide.

“Then what should we do?”

David spread his hands and compared the people around him: “These people are all descendants of famous families. They are experts in how to deal with evil ghosts and evil spirits.”

“Mr. Glamorgan is too modest.” Director Zhang saw that David did not seem to be very interested in this business, so he turned to ask the opinions of several other masters.

Originally, when David said that the evil spirit in the police station was so strong that it was almost impossible to suppress it, Zhong Fabai and Zhang Lihua did not agree very much.

But when they heard that the police station would be demolished sooner or later, they also understood that continuing to suppress it was indeed not a reliable method, so they seriously thought about how to deal with these evil spirits.

The solution is nothing more than to transcend these dead souls; or to beat them directly to death. The preparations for these two solutions are completely different.

For decent people like Zhong Fabai and Zhang Lihua, transcendence is generally the first priority.

The two discussed on the spot what kind of ritual should be held and what preparations should be made? Ma Xiaoling occasionally interjected a few words, and David watched the fun throughout.

Even if someone asked, he just smiled and didn’t say anything.

After a few more polite words, he simply said that he didn’t understand these things at all and had no suggestions to offer.

Everyone thought that even if David really understood, he only understood the Western process. It would be strange if he understood the rituals used by others.

The three local exorcists discussed enthusiastically, and David and Director Zhang were relatively free.

Considering that David was the person the police wanted to befriend, Director Zhang pulled David to talk about other things.

For example, what specific work did David’s Wanshiwu undertake?

Although he heard that David would accept any commission as long as he was willing to accept it, he always felt that this introduction was too general, and asking in person might give him a clearer understanding.

“As long as I think it’s interesting, I will take it.”

“Interesting?”

“Yes.” If

David thought it was interesting, he would take it, even if it was just helping someone with homework. If he thought it was boring, he would not bother to pay attention to it even if he was given 10 million or 100 million pounds.

After saying this, outsiders might think that David was bragging. If someone really offered 100 million pounds, no one would believe that David would refuse.

Only those who are familiar with David know that he really doesn’t think much of the mere 100 million pounds.

In fact, several people around were paying attention to the content of the two people’s conversation. They heard that David was not a professional exorcist, but he actually opened a company that took on any work, which made other people who didn’t know the situation feel very novel.

Zhang Lihua even joked with David: “If I want to find a boyfriend, can Wanshiwu introduce one to me?”

“Sure, Miss Zhang, you can tell me your requirements and I will help you pay attention to it.”

“I must visit you in person when I have time.”

They exchanged business cards. As for Zhong Fabai, the Taoist priest, he didn’t have a business card, but he was easier to find. Except for temporary work, he would stay in the grocery store in the Elite Center on weekdays. What

David didn’t know was that after he expressed his opinion, he did not attract any rebuttal or questioning from Zhong Fabai and Zhang Lihua. In the final analysis, it was because Zhong Fabai had met David once before.

At that time, Zhong Fabai realized that David was definitely not an ordinary person, or even a human at all.

Such a being was determined that there would definitely be problems there, and Zhong Fabai, who was still an ordinary person, would certainly not question it. He would only carefully recall various details and think about what he had not noticed.

When they met again, although David was not as bright as the last time, Zhong Fabai was even more shocked.

He was confident that he would never make a mistake last time, let alone remember the wrong person. David made too deep an impression on him, and he would never forget it in his life.

There is only one conclusion. David realized that he was like a walking sun, too conspicuous, so he used some means to cover up.

This method was silent and even invisible. Zhong Fabai tried several times in secret but failed to see through this disguise. He was more certain of his guess in his heart: this David Glamorgan was either an angel or a similar being who came down to earth. In any case, he could not be a human.

Zhong Fabai felt that there was nothing abnormal about him, but in fact, the people present were all smart people. Zhong Fabai was not an unknown person. Zhang Lihua and Director Zhang had heard of his personality.

Taoist Zhong came from a famous family and became famous very early. Naturally, he also had some arrogance of a genius. He himself did not feel it, but outsiders’ evaluation of him could not be without the description of “arrogance”.

Such a person did not express doubts to an outsider like David, and even behaved very calmly. This was not normal in itself.

The reasonable explanation was that Taoist Zhong had met David a long time ago, and Taoist Zhong was very clear about David’s strength, so he was so calm.

Director Zhang saw this, so even though David showed no interest in the matter, he still did not exclude David and formally issued a commission to the people present: After solving the evil spirit suppressed by the police station, everyone can get a reward of millions.

The price of the four people is the same, including Zhong Fabai, who said that they would consider it carefully and give a clear answer within three days, but did not express dissatisfaction.

Zhang Lihua, the successor of Zhang Tianshi, also smiled and said that she would consider it for a few days, and also did not express dissatisfaction.

Director Zhang felt that his judgment was correct, and smiled and said that he was waiting for the reply from the few people. He

personally sent the few people out of the meeting room. Director Zhang asked the police superintendent Hu Huishan to personally send the masters out of the police station, which was quite a face.

With such a simple move, Zhong Fabai and Zhang Lihua changed their words when saying goodbye to Hu Huishan: “Give a clear answer tomorrow!”

Even Ma Xiaoling said that she could reply to the police tomorrow no matter what.

“What about you?”

“You can tell Director Zhang that I’ll take this job.” David waited for the two to walk away and pretended in front of acquaintances. There was something exciting to watch, so he had no reason to miss it. This deal would bring in another income, and it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t have a new job for the whole year.

When David returned to the Wanshiwu and was about to tell Cheng Le’er that he had received a new job, Cheng Le’er introduced him to a young girl who looked very well-behaved.

“She is here to interview for the company’s assistant and front desk job. Her name is Ruan Mei.”
