Chapter 140: The Mansion Has Something Dirty
Having resolved the matter of Bo and Wei Xiaodie, Zhang Wei took the Refining Evil Treasure Gourd and returned to Lamma Island to see Zhang Cheng.
As soon as he saw Zhang Cheng, he asked immediately, "Grand-uncle Master, this treasure gourd is quite useful; why not just let me keep it?"
The current Zhang Cheng no longer needed these magical treasures; basically, no specter could withstand his spells.
Moreover, Zhang Wei was no ordinary person.
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "You can have this Refining Evil Treasure Gourd if you want, but you must go do one thing."
Zhang Wei felt that this Refining Evil Treasure Gourd was truly powerful, thinking to himself that it was quite a good deal to get it just by doing one thing.
He nodded and said, "Fine, Grand-uncle Master, it's a deal. What is it you want me to do?"
Zhang Cheng said immediately, "The Far East Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui was originally the site of a Japanese pirate military camp."
Later, someone commissioned a Sino-American design firm to design the Far East Mansion, and the person who paid for it was Japanese.
And behind this Japanese person was the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect; they had malicious intentions in building the Far East Mansion.
Beneath that mansion are one hundred Japanese pirates who died full of resentment; over these years, these resentful specters have grown and are about to unleash a bloodbath within the mansion. I want you to eliminate the resentful specters in the mansion.
You must be careful; among them, there may be specters that have surpassed Evil Specters and are approaching the Specter King level.
Zhang Wei's face, which had been somewhat happy, instantly fell. He had already mentally prepared himself, thinking this matter would surely be very arduous.
But he had not expected that he would actually have to deal with a suspected Specter King. Dealing with an Evil Specter before had already nearly cost him his soul; this time would surely be miserable.
However, Zhang Cheng immediately took out a Soul-Capturing Banner, tossed it to Zhang Wei, and said, "I will lend you this Soul-Capturing Banner; return it when you are done."
Zhang Wei hurriedly asked, "Grand-uncle Master, what is the use of this Soul-Capturing Banner?"
Zhang Cheng said, "With your strength, if you coordinate it with the Two Forms Eight Trigrams Array, you can use this Soul-Capturing Banner to collect all the resentful specters into it.
However, I fear your strength is insufficient to capture that Specter King. At that time, you can severely injure the Specter King and subdue it with the Refining Evil Treasure Gourd.
Alright, stop making that face. I have already told you the solution; now go get to work."
Zhang Wei said with a bitter face, "Yes, Grand-uncle Master."
Zhang Wei left the Pagoda Building, then arrived at the station of the Shenfeng Cave Specter-Catching Unit, spoke with Hu Xin for a moment, and then left.
Following the address provided by Zhang Cheng, he arrived at the Far East Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui.
As soon as he saw the mansion, he was somewhat surprised and thought to himself: Such strong resentment!
It seems he would have to find a way to sneak into this mansion to check the situation.
"Beep beep!"
A van drove past Zhang Wei and blocked the path in front of a couple.
Zhang Wei cursed under his breath, thinking the couple had offended someone, but then the pretty girl saw the man getting out of the car and hurriedly called out, "Brother."
That fat and short man said somewhat incoherently, "Ah, brother-in-law, no, Big Brother."
Dai Long, who had stepped out of the car, looked at the fatty with disgust and said quite dissatisfied, "No way, little sister, you actually like this kind of shorty?"
"Check if he owes me money."
The White Paper Fan behind him immediately opened his computer to check and then said, "Boss, he doesn't."
Dai Long said in disbelief, "No way, Tsim Sha Tsui is my turf; there's actually someone who hasn't borrowed money from me? Hmph!"
Dai Long let out a cold snort, stepped forward to bump the fatty aside, pulled his sister Xiaoxue away, and entered the Far East Mansion.
The fatty hurriedly chased after them and entered the mansion.
Seeing the fatty chasing him, Dai Long immediately glared and said, "Fatty, if you keep following me, I'll fix you."
The fatty said somewhat aggrieved, "It's not that, Big Brother, I work here too."
Dai Long said with some disdain, "What do you do?"
The fatty pointed to his uniform and said, "Security guard."
"Tch."
Dai Long was full of disdain.
Dai Xue, who was to the side, hurriedly said, "Brother, don't bully A-Bang. A-Bang, I'm going to work."
Zhu Bang nodded and smiled, "Alright, go ahead."
Dai Long ignored Zhu Bang further; he saw that Fan Qianzhou, who owed him money, was hitting on a woman with a great look and figure.
He hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Fan Qianzhou, you brat, you actually have time to hit on girls?"
As soon as Fan Qianzhou saw Dai Long, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly turned and ran.
Dai Long immediately waved his hand and said, "Go, fix him, make him pay back the money."
Several underlings immediately stepped forward to fix Fan Qianzhou.
Meanwhile, Dai Long came before Xu Zhudi and smiled, "Pretty lady, you must never date a man like that; there's no sense of security."
Xu Zhudi smiled, "You mean you want me to date you?"
Dai Long hurriedly said, "Hahaha, I certainly can."
Xu Zhudi took out a form and said, "Then you fill out this form first; I want to see if your body has any diseases, and I also need to know your size and stamina."
Dai Long was somewhat at a loss.
Xu Zhudi gave him a flirtatious look and smiled, "There are many who want to hit on me, you know."
Having said that, she left with a coy laugh.
Dai Long rubbed his hands and muttered, "As expected of a white-collar worker, she has much more feeling than the ladies at the brothel."
Zhang Wei had already arrived at Dai Long's side; he saw at a glance that this Xu Zhudi was not human—she had been possessed by a specter.
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Stop looking, this woman is not suitable for you."
Hearing the voice, Dai Long immediately turned his head and said, "Who are you, daring to meddle in my business?"
Zhang Wei took out an Eight Trigrams Mirror and said, "What do you think I do?"
Dai Long looked at Zhang Wei with some suspicion; someone like him did believe in some Feng Shui, but seeing that Zhang Wei was truly young, he felt in his heart that this person was a charlatan.
Dai Long immediately sneered and threatened, "Kid, you're trying to scam money out of me? Do you know who I am?"
Zhang Wei immediately understood that the person before him had mistaken him for a con artist.
Having no choice, he took out his credentials and said, "Do you know who I am now?"
Upon seeing Zhang Wei's police credentials, Dai Long looked closely: Zhang Wei, Probationary Inspector of the Ghost-Catching Unit.
He naturally knew about the Ghost-Catching Unit; whenever there was any movement within the police force, they were the second to know.
They were certainly aware of what kind of supernatural entities were inside Hong Kong, and every year they would invite a master to suppress the site.
They naturally understood the Ghost-Catching Unit and knew they were truly capable of dealing with supernatural entities, so no one dared to offend people from the Ghost-Catching Unit.
Dai Long was surprised to run into someone from the Ghost-Catching Unit here, and he said respectfully, "Officer, I know you. You actually came here—could it be?"
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "That's right. There are unclean things in this building. I am here to investigate now. The situation is very bad; you had best not come to this building."
Dai Long's expression changed, and he said with a bitter face, "What should I do? My younger sister works here."
Zhang Wei said casually, "Then just have her resign and change jobs."
Dai Long hurriedly said, "Officer, could you give me a few Peace Talismans? I'll pay for them."
Zhang Wei took out a few Evil-Warding Talismans and handed them to Chen Hui, saying, "I don't want your money; go donate it instead."
Dai Long happily took the Evil-Warding Talismans and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Officer. Don't worry, I'll go donate the money right away."
Dai Long immediately went to find his younger sister, Dai Xue. Seeing her brother, Dai Xue hurriedly stood up and walked out of the company, stepping forward to ask, "Brother, are you here to see me, or does someone in our company owe you money again?"
Dai Long said anxiously, "Oh, I'm in no mood to collect debts now! Little sister, you must leave this building immediately; it's not safe here."
Dai Xue said with a look of confusion, "Brother, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Dai Long immediately explained, "You don't know, but I just met an expert who said this building is very dangerous and that people will die."
Dai Xue didn't believe it at all, shaking her head as she said, "What expert? If there's danger, I'll just go find my god-sister."
"Xiao Ling?" Dai Long regained his composure and immediately said, "Then hurry and go ask Xiao Ling."
Dai Xue nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go find my god-sister after work."
Dai Long took two Evil-Warding Talismans from his pocket and said, "Alright, you take these two Evil-Warding Talismans first."
Dai Xue did not refuse; she knew her brother would not harm her, so she accepted the Evil-Warding Talismans.
In the lobby downstairs, Zhang Wei was walking around, taking the opportunity to place spirit talismans in inconspicuous corners to set up an array.
Zhu Bang, who had been sent down to watch the lobby by his uncle Fan Qianzhou, saw Zhang Wei walking around and felt he looked rather suspicious.
He immediately went up to check and discovered Zhang Wei taking out a spirit talisman and sticking it in a corner.
He thought of how he had just seen the Chairman's secretary, Xu Zhudi, turn into a ghost, and how the Chairman was being pressured by a group of Japanese pirates.
He figured the young man before him must have discovered something, which was why he was sticking spirit talismans here.
He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "This little master."
Zhang Wei looked back and saw it was the fatty who had been bullied by Dai Long earlier. Seeing the fatty's physiognomy, he said with some surprise, "You are truly plagued by bad luck."
Zhu Bang said in surprise, "Master, you can tell? I knew you must know how to catch ghosts; you have to help me."
Zhang Wei asked in surprise, "You saw a ghost?"
Zhu Bang nodded and said, "That's right. I just saw the Chairman's secretary, Xu Zhudi, turn into a ghost, and there were many Japanese pirates too."
Zhang Wei immediately took out an Evil-Warding Talisman and said, "Take this Evil-Warding Talisman; it can save your life at a critical moment."
"Do not spread word of this matter; I will resolve the supernatural entities in this building."
Zhu Bang breathed a sigh of relief and kept the Evil-Warding Talisman close to his body.
After work, Zhu Bang immediately found Dai Xue and told her about the matter.
Dai Xue also recalled that her brother had said the same thing, and she immediately said, "I'll go find my god-sister and ask."
Soon, Dai Xue brought Zhu Bang to the company of her god-sister, Xiao Ling.
Like Dai Xue, her god-sister Xiao Ling was a great beauty, only Xiao Ling's fate was very hard; she had cursed eight husbands to death.
Seeing Dai Xue arrive, Xiao Ling was very happy, and she smiled very gently, "Xiaoxue, how do you have time to come see me?"
Dai Xue immediately stepped forward to hug Xiao Ling's arm, shaking it as she said, "Sister Ling, I came to find you because of a supernatural matter."
Xiao Ling hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Xiaoxue immediately explained, "This morning, my brother found me and said there were supernatural entities in the building where I work and that it was very dangerous."
"Today, A-Bang saw the supernatural entities, and those ghosts are very fierce."
Xiao Ling looked at A-Bang and said, "Indeed, your boyfriend looks like he is shrouded in bad luck; there is certainly danger."
She then looked at Dai Xue and frowned, "You have indeed been tainted by some resentment; it seems the building where you work is indeed dangerous."
Dai Xue said in surprise, "Ah, so it's true."
Zhu Bang hurriedly said, "It must be true; I saw a little master sticking spirit talismans in the lobby today."
"He even gave me an Evil-Warding Talisman, saying it could ensure my safety."
As he spoke, he took out that Evil-Warding Talisman.
Xiao Ling looked closely and saw that this Evil-Warding Talisman could truly be effective against supernatural entities.
She immediately said, "You are very lucky to have met someone with cultivation. Give me the Evil-Warding Talisman to look at."
Dai Xue also took out two Evil-Warding Talismans and said, "Sister Ling, I have some here too."
Xiao Ling took the three spirit talismans and looked at them, saying in surprise, "Your spirit talismans come from the same person's hand. This Evil-Warding Talisman should be from the Maoshan sect."
Dai Xue asked in confusion, "Sister Ling, is this Maoshan very powerful?"
Xiao Ling nodded and said, "Of course. Especially the Maoshan disciples in Hong Kong; there are only a few of them, but each one is highly skilled. I heard it's because the First Celestial Master is in Hong Kong."
Zhu Bang immediately asked, "This First Celestial Master sounds very powerful."
Xiao Ling nodded and said, "Of course. You haven't had contact with this circle, so naturally you wouldn't know. The First Celestial Master likely has no rivals across the globe."
"If it is truly the disciples and grand-disciples of that First Celestial Master who have taken action, the supernatural entities in that building will surely be eliminated."
"However, I still want to go to your building to take a look, and meet that young Maoshan Daoist priest while I'm at it."
Early the next morning, Zhang Ling arrived at the building; she looked up and saw Yin energy soaring into the sky from the building.
As soon as she got out of the car, Zhu Bang saw Zhang Ling and hurriedly ran over to say, "Sister Xiaoling, I've seen that little master."
Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Good, take me to see her."
Fan Qianzhou, who was patrolling the lobby, saw his nephew bringing in a beautiful woman and was immediately overjoyed, wanting to step forward to strike up a conversation.
But Zhu Bang led Zhang Ling to Zhang Wei instead.
Zhang Wei saw the professional compass in Zhang Ling's hand and smiled, "My name is Zhang Wei, and you are?"
Zhang Ling said with some curiosity, "My name is Zhang Ling; Mr. Zhang is different from the Maoshan Daoist priests I have met before."
Zhang Wei laughed, "Being a Daoist priest is just a side job; my main profession is being a police officer."
Zhang Ling smiled, "How does Mr. Zhang plan to solve the problem with this building?"
Zhang Wei immediately straightened his expression and said, "I laid in ambush here all night last night, but they didn't make any moves; I don't know if they didn't appear because they were afraid of me."
"Now that you are here, Miss Zhang, I have a way."
Zhang Ling nodded and said, "I understand, you want me to step forward and lure those strange entities out."
Zhang Wei nodded, "Correct, but Miss Zhang can rest assured, I will guarantee your safety."
Zhang Ling raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Zhang is quite confident, hmm?"
Zhang Wei's eye twitched; the beautiful woman before him was truly full of charm.
He hurriedly said, "If I didn't have a bit of skill, I wouldn't have come here."
