Chapter 13: Persuade!

After driving in the dark for an unknown length of time, Chen Shoushan and three people finally stopped not far in front of a high-rise building.

The building loomed faintly in the darkness; its owner had not turned on the lights at this moment, so the whole structure was hidden in darkness. Chen Shoushan looked up at the Shangtong Building before him; the building was very quiet, like a dead building.

"It seems the boss of the Shangtong Building still has a bit of sense; at least he knows what's happened."

Ye Feng looked at the building that had suddenly fallen silent before him and said with a cold smile.

It was obvious that this Baoluo had some understanding of paranormal incidents, knowing to keep as quiet as possible during such events; although this approach isn't necessarily completely correct, after all the killing patterns of ghosts are myriad, but for ordinary people it is absolutely the most useful method.

But this Baoluo actually dared to hunt the Ghost Masters of China, which has already aroused the hatred of folk Ghost Masters like Ye Feng; after all, nobody wants to be suddenly shot in the dark one day.

At this moment Chen Shoushan suddenly reached out to stop Ye Feng and the other: "Don't rush; although this Baoluo lost quite a few people when attacking Yang Jian, he should still have some resources!"

Firearms still have some deterrent effect on Ghost Masters like them who lack a Ghost Realm; especially Chen Shoushan, this false Ghost Master, even Ye Feng, a strong one who has tamed two ghosts, couldn't hold out for long, but Wang Xiaoqiang has no problem in that regard—his combat power is just too weak.

"What should we do?"

Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Gentlemen, times are different now; we are in fact a legitimate official force!"

Chen Shoushan glanced at the two who still hadn't reacted and had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Go mobilize a batch of security officers to come and clean this place up; after all, this is Dachangshi's home turf."

Wang Xiaoqiang and the other finally realized, but Wang Xiaoqiang hesitated and said: "For just a bit of weaponry, wouldn't making such a fuss be inappropriate? If it draws the attention of the starving ghosts, it'll be troublesome."

"What's the trouble? Isn't this exactly what we want? What we're after now is precisely to find the starving ghosts; best if they come out on their own, and if they don't, we still get what we want! Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

Chen Shoushan asked back with a smile.

After Chen Shoushan finished speaking, both felt it made sense and thus agreed.

"But we don't have that authority; only Zhao Kai Ming and Professor Wang can mobilize security officers at the moment."

Ye Feng said from the side, Zhao Kai Ming is the current head of Dachangshi; when Dachangshi experiences a paranormal incident, all of the city's security officers are dispatched by him.

And Wang Xiaoming, appointed by headquarters as a Marshal, can naturally mobilize all of Dachangshi's resources, and his authority exceeds that of Zhao Kai Ming.

And the three of them have no official identities, so they cannot mobilize security officers at all.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it; you two stay here and watch, I'll go talk to the nearby security officers."

Chen Shoushan patted the dust off his shoulder and said to the two, intending to "persuade" the nearby security officers.

Now is a special period; basically, security officers on duty are armed, after all not all civilians are fools—some have noticed something amiss; to prevent Dachangshi's order from collapsing quickly, each security officer wears a bulletproof vest and carries two magazines.

Not everyone knows the terror of starving ghosts as Chen Shoushan does; the higher-ups of Dachangshi all believe this paranormal incident will be resolved quickly, just like previous ones, after all Dachangshi is a city of several million people; headquarters certainly wouldn't just stand by and let such a disastrous event happen!

Therefore, Dachangshi's higher-ups are desperately maintaining order, issuing firearms that are normally strictly controlled; after the incident ends, this will certainly be meritorious! Of course, the firearms are all registered, making them easy to recover.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng lit up cigarettes in the car, but neither spoke.

Ten minutes passed quickly; Ye Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes, turned his head toward the darkness beside him, and heard chaotic footsteps.

Soon Chen Shoushan's tall figure emerged from the darkness, with a few security officers standing beside him, apparently of considerable rank, yet they all appeared respectful toward Chen Shoushan.

Moreover, in the darkness not far away there were many faint lights and silhouettes, indicating a considerable number of people.

"Damn, he really did mobilize the security officers; looks like there are quite a few of them—how did he manage that?"

Wang Xiaoqiang looked somewhat incredulously at Chen Shoushan, who was being surrounded by the crowd.

"Is it his ghost? A ghost that can influence people's minds?"

Ye Feng looked at Chen Shoushan solemnly, knowing that although he had tamed two ghosts, he still possessed a human will!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Security Squad Captains, the transnational criminal organization is hidden in this building before us; they likely possess a certain amount of firearms, and we on this side need to make adequate preparations."

Chen Shoushan spoke solemnly to those around him, after all, in the original story the occupants of the Shangtong Building were armed with submachine guns, sniper rifles, etc., which are strictly controlled in China.

"Commander, rest assured; we've already brought riot shields and tear gas and other weapons suitable for indoor combat—this covert operation will surely succeed!"

One security officer hurriedly expressed, "This is a great opportunity to show off in front of the leaders!"

Chen Shoushan relievedly patted that security officer's shoulder: "Pillar material! But everyone still needs to watch their safety; soldiers' lives are worth ten thousand times more than those bandits—be extremely careful!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Commander Chen Shoushan value them so much, the surrounding security officers couldn't help but feel moved.

To be frank, if this were an ordinary world, Chen Shoushan, an extraordinary person who followed the lawyer's path, could raise an army merely by wanting to, even relying solely on his extraordinary ability of "persuasion," especially in some chaotic war-torn regions.

Chen Shoushan waved his hand to signal the security officers to go back and prepare, while he himself walked toward the car of Ye Feng and the others.

Looking at the two dumbfounded individuals, Chen Shoushan smiled and said: "You two, get ready; we'll go in together later—this terrorist organization actually dares to hunt Ghost Masters; besides possessing some firearms, they surely also command some paranormal power, which ordinary people cannot deal with."

Chen Shoushan's words made perfect sense, and Ye Feng and Wang Xiaoqiang naturally agreed.

After that, they prepared for two minutes; then a security officer ran over, signaled that preparations were complete, and asked Chen Shoushan when to act. Chen Shoushan signaled them to act immediately. After the security officer left, Chen Shoushan drew the pistol he had obtained from the security officers and indicated that Wang Xiaoqiang and the others should also prepare.

As an official extraordinary person, Chen Shoushan had naturally trained with firearms; although the weapon differs from what he uses now, he can still avoid injuring nearby people.
