Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 541

[Chapter 538: The Haunted Police Station]

“Hello, Mr. Glamorgan. You can call me Ah Mei or Xiao Mei.”

The young girl with long straight black hair seemed very reserved. Her voice was soft and weak, and she looked like she was easy to bully.

David looked at this familiar face. Even if he didn’t think about the character setting, he could tell at a glance that the girl’s family conditions were very ordinary: she was dressed very casually, even a little too casually. Her clothes were very clean, but there were obvious wear and tear in the details. She only had a simple light makeup on her face.

Although she had a good appearance, she would most likely be “invited” to leave if she said she was here for a job interview in the office building.

“Hello, welcome to the Wanshiwu.”

David turned his head to look at Cheng Le’er and asked in a low voice: “Are you going to choose her as an assistant and receptionist?”

“I have interviewed many people these days, and this Ah Mei is the best choice.” Cheng Le’er didn’t actually want to find a young and beautiful female assistant, but considering that the receptionist was related to the company’s image, she couldn’t find an ugly one.

In addition, she often stayed at the company, so it seemed that she didn’t need to be too wary of such things.

After watching for a few days, this girl named Ruan Mei seemed to be weak and honest, and she was a good choice.

He did not make a decision directly because he considered that he had to let David, the boss, take a look before making the final decision.

“Then choose her.”

David decided directly to hire Ruan Mei as the company’s assistant and receptionist. Wanshiwu was not a big company to begin with, and there were only three of them in the whole company.

David was the boss and the person in charge of specific business; Cheng Le’er was responsible for managing finances and other matters most of the time, and was also responsible for text work such as contracts.

Ruan Mei, who had just been hired, had to serve as a secretary, assistant, receptionist, company errand boy, and even cleaner, but Ruan Mei did not find the work complicated at all. On the contrary, she was very satisfied with the high salary offered by Wanshiwu. As long as

the money was in place, she said she could take on a few more positions. As soon as

the contract was signed, Ruan Mei was as happy as if she had won a prize of several million, and immediately asked the two bosses when they would start work?

“We will officially start work tomorrow, today…” Cheng Le’er originally wanted Ruan Mei to go back and buy a nice outfit. She couldn’t wear something tacky when she officially started working. At most, the company would give her some clothing expenses.

But she couldn’t trust this person’s aesthetic taste. After thinking about it, she decided to take Ruan Mei to buy some clothes and shoes.

“Ah, this… is it not necessary?”

“Just treat it as a company benefit.” Cheng Le’er chatted with Ruan Mei for a few words and found that Ruan Mei’s personality was not just soft, but a real soft girl. A girl with such a personality would definitely not take the initiative to steal. She

could even be won over to be her own person. When she was not in the company, she would help her keep an eye on David to prevent someone from attacking her secretly when she was away.

The employees were in place, the company opened, and the business came.

The Wanshiwu began to get on the right track. David did not waste time after accepting the commission from Director Zhang.

Only two days later, he came to the police station again.

Not only David came, but Zhong Fabai, Zhang Lihua and Ma Xiaoling were all there. They all accepted Director Zhang’s commission and prepared to work together to deal with this crisis.

This time, Chief Hu received a call from Director Zhang, asking him to cooperate with these people. No matter what they asked, he would do his best to meet them.

“I knew it was not that simple!”

Hu Xin sighed helplessly and stood at the door of the police station to greet them again. This time, he brought along the backbones of the police station who were relatively free: such as Inspector He Fanni who had just been assigned, and her subordinate Wu Ying, and Yang Liqing who had just been assigned to this bureau.

“Chief, who are you asking us to entertain?”

“Who do you care who they are? Just do whatever you are asked to do.” Wu Ying was actually an excellent detective in the police station, but he was slick, got into trouble, and liked to be lazy, so he had no chance of promotion.

He Fanni was a young inspector who had just been transferred here. She had just figured out the interpersonal relationships in the police station. When she was depressed that she was assigned to a subordinate like Wu Ying, she was called by the chief.

As for Yang Liqing, she had just graduated from the police academy. Although she was a graduate of the inspector class, according to the regulations, she had to work as a military uniform, go through several departments, and then pass the assessment before she could become a formal inspector.

In a sense, these people are the elites of the bureau. It is not unreasonable for Director Hu to choose these people when he encountered trouble.

Soon, Director Hu met the people he was going to entertain today: they were all acquaintances, and they had come here one after another in the past few days.

In addition to Director Hu, the others also thought of this, but no one except Wu Ying pointed it out.

“Hey? Director Hu, aren’t these the engineers, office equipment sales, cleaning companies, and British nobles who visited the police station a few days ago?” “

…”

Director Hu gave Wu Ying a look, making her shut up obediently, and then smiled and greeted her.

“Welcome to you all!” Director Hu said at the beginning that he had received the instructions of the director, and if the next few people needed any help, just ask.

After the four people greeted Chief Hu, they looked at each other. It was still Taoist Zhong who spoke: “Since Chief Hu said so, I will not be polite. I ask Chief Hu to clear the police station first.”

“Clear the area?”

Director Hu looked at the people. Of course, he did not ignore Zhong Fabai’s words, but what was the purpose of clearing the area?

“This is the police station.”

“That’s why we have to clear the area. Otherwise, there will be too many people and too many gossips, and it will have a bad impact if it gets out.” Compared with Zhong Fabai, Zhang Lihua has her own Feng Shui company and is much more tactful than Zhong Fabai in dealing with people.

When she said this, Director Hu immediately figured out the key.

“So, how long will it take to clear it?”

“If everything goes well, it can be solved within a day. If it doesn’t go well…”

“Just say that the police station needs to be thoroughly cleaned.” Ma Xiaoling also provided Director Hu with a suitable reason: “Director Hu, don’t worry about the area under your jurisdiction not being able to handle it in time. From now on, everything that happens in the area under your jurisdiction will be assigned to other nearby police stations.”

Director Hu understood when he heard this. He had no say in clearing the area. He was just asked to execute it.

“Wu Ying, notify the brothers in the police station that the police station will be cleaning up today, and the brothers will have a day off.”

“Really?” Wu Ying looked like, “Can I go home too?” ‘ expression, and was slapped on the back of the head by Director Hu: “Of course you are staying to help.”

“Oh!”

Wu Ying called the “intern” Yang Liqing, and the two went to inform their colleagues of the good news of the holiday, and by the way, discussed what this was about? It seems to be quite serious!

Inspector He keenly noticed that this seemed to be a big operation. Could it be to catch the traitor? Did he have the opportunity to make a great contribution?

But when many colleagues in the police station left work one after another, and only a few of them were left in the huge police station, what was unloaded from the truck at the back was not the weapons, radios or detection devices she thought, but tables, candles, turkeys, wooden swords, yellow paper and other messy things.

Seeing these, not to mention Inspector He was dumbfounded, Director Hu, Wu Ying and Yang Liqing were also dumbfounded.

“What are you doing? A ritual?”

“Yes!”

“Huh?” Chief Hu was just making a casual comment, but he didn’t expect to get it right: “A ritual in the police station? What kind of joke is this?”

Chief Hu suspected that someone was playing a trick on him, so he called his boss, but the call was directly transferred to Deputy Director Zhang, who replied “cooperate well” and nothing more.

“…”

After hanging up the phone, Chief Hu turned his head and saw that Taoist Master Zhong and Miss Zhang had both changed into Taoist robes, and the table was already set. This scene made his blood pressure rise.

Fortunately, David Glamorgan didn’t change into the clothes of a priest, otherwise he would suspect that he was the one who went crazy.

Open the altar!

Zhong Fabai’s set of movements was smooth and flowing, but the result was not very good!

The candles on the table went out directly, and the talisman paper that had been pasted burned almost at the same time, turning into ashes in an instant. This situation shocked Zhong Fabai and Zhang Lihua, and they unconsciously glanced at David next to them.

“As you said, this place has accumulated a lot of resentment, and it is almost

impossible to suppress it.” Zhong Fabai realized that the ghosts that had been suppressed by the police for decades had all become evil ghosts and fierce gods. It was impossible to save these ghosts.

And because of his failure to save them, he indirectly opened a gap. Now the evil spirits leaked out. Even though it was still daytime, the whole police station became gloomy.

Wu Ying and others who were watching the excitement nearby also noticed something was wrong: “Why do I feel that the surroundings have become darker? And colder?”

Inspector He, who had previously stated that he did not believe in ghosts and gods at all, and Yang Liqing, who was on internship, also showed a bit of panic and kept looking around.

Crackling!

Because of the old buildings, some areas that rely on lighting have made the sound of light bulbs breaking one after another. Standing here and looking over, it seems that darkness is approaching step by step, slowly approaching everyone.

“Hiss~ Is there really a ghost?” Wu Ying hid behind Director Hu in fear. Director Hu shouted: “Nonsense! Where did the demons and ghosts come from in broad daylight!” He

just kept retreating and stopped behind the two Taoist priests in Taoist robes, which made his words seem unconvincing.

The two Taoist priests did not bother to explain the situation and immediately used various means to control the situation: “I will cast a spell to block these evil spirits. Master Zhang, be careful not to let the evil ghosts escape outside.”

Before Zhong Fabai finished speaking, he suddenly felt the terrifying ghost energy in front of him. In the blink of an eye, many evil ghosts emerged. The ghost energy was so strong that it seemed to be real, which made his scalp numb.

“All soldiers and fighters are marching forward in formation!” Ma Xiaoling saw the ghosts appearing and immediately used her skillful skills to form a seal and cast the nine-character mantra: “Zhu Xie!”

David looked relaxed at this time and was in the mood to pay attention to Ma Xiaoling’s nine-character mantra, which was not the version for export and domestic sales.

“The world’s automatic error correction function?”
