Chapter 56: Trio

When Chen Shoushan left the tent, whether civilians or soldiers, they all looked at Chen Shoushan with fear; this fear from deep within the soul, submitting to the stronger is a biological instinct, humans are no exception.

This is the intimidation from the Chaos Instructor, a fear that ordinary people cannot overcome.

Chen Shoushan, who had just been promoted, obviously still needs some time to adapt.

He waved at the remaining soldiers, who immediately stirred; they were a little afraid to face the current Chen Shoushan, but still hurriedly pushed someone forward.

"Chen, Mr. Chen..."

The soldier said somewhat nervously.

"Don't be nervous, where is your superior?"

Chen Shoushan sized up the young soldier before him, whose body was covered in bloodstains, and asked with a gentle expression.

"They have fallen... Now the only person left with the highest rank is me; just tell me your orders."

Looking at the handsome and kind Chen Shoushan before him, the soldier's demeanor relaxed considerably, yet he still spoke respectfully.

"Gather the civilians together, pay attention to your attitude, so as not to cause chaos again."

"Yes!"

"By the way, count the casualties of all soldiers caused by this chaos, give me a list, and my foundation will give everyone a satisfactory consolation payment."

Chen Shoushan looked at the soldiers watching him around, then spoke again.

"This, this doesn't quite follow the rules..."

The soldier asked somewhat nervously, "Is this considered embezzlement..."

"The headquarters gives bereavement compensation, the foundation gives consolation money; the two do not conflict."

Chen Shoushan's understanding words successfully convinced this soldier; after all, who wouldn't want their family's living conditions to improve after their sacrifice?

"Yes!"

The sudden consolation payment slightly dispelled the soldier's confusion; after saluting, he eagerly went to carry out Chen Shoushan's orders.

"Now, all civilians put down your weapons, squat down, follow the arrangements, rest assured, you are innocent."

Soon the remaining soldiers sprang into action, and the bewildered civilians instinctively followed the soldiers' instructions.

"I really don't know what's going on..."

"Brother, I, I, won't I go to jail?"

"Come quickly, save him, he's bleeding a lot!"

"Call an ambulance quickly!"

"..."

The civilians' noisy discussions and cries for help gradually rose, but not everyone was still alive; corpses lay everywhere on the ground, some having been dead for a long time...

"Everyone, rest assured, the danger has passed, everyone is safe, but due to certain reasons you cannot leave for now; however, I will stand guard here tonight, standing with you..."

"At the same time, our Shoushan Foundation will try to help everyone bear part of the medical expenses, support..."

Chen Shoushan found a megaphone and shouted to everyone; of course, at this time he needed to appear and win over hearts!

Although Chen Shoushan looks young, his overall leaderly aura and intimidating dignity made everyone present feel much more at ease.

Such an aura, at first glance he is a big leader; big leaders say they want to stay with everyone, so what's there to fear?

As he was speaking, Chen Shoushan suddenly stopped, his gaze shifting to the three people sneaking in not far away; since no one dared to speak while Chen Shoushan was talking, now that he fell silent, the whole scene fell silent.

Following Chen Shoushan's gaze, everyone in the venue turned their heads to look at the sneaky trio behind.

"..."

Luo Suyi felt his scalp tingle as he said to Huang Fei, "We seem to have come at the wrong time..."

Huang Fei embarrassedly nodded: "Should we retreat first and come back later?"

Lin Luoyin unconsciously looked at Chen Shoushan standing at the front of the crowd; after all, who doesn't like to look at a handsome guy as a girl?

——————

"We are from the Spiritual Paranormal Forum, we are external aid invited by your headquarters."

Luo Suyi looked at the smiling Chen Shoushan standing before him, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression, yet he spoke firmly.

However you say it, they are also external aid; even if they have no merit, uh, maybe also no hardship, but no matter what, their boss is Ye Zhen after all.

The headquarters should give Ye Zhen face, right?

"Spiritual Paranormal Forum? You only show up now wanting to help maintain order?"

Chen Shoushan asked teasingly.

Luo Suyi gave an embarrassed smile; although he thought that in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise the Spiritual Paranormal Forum would lose all face.

"Well, since we're here, shall we prepare to go in?"

"What, we still have to go in? Why?"

Naturally, Chen Shoushan had taken a liking to Li Qingzhi's Ghost Firewood Knife, was also very interested in the Paper Ghost, and Chen Shoushan, promoted to Chaos Instructor, now had the qualifications for it.

——————

In the Caesar Hotel Lobby.

"It looks man-made, and not long before we entered."

Li Le Ping looked at the destroyed elevator and said thoughtfully.

"Uh-oh, the Paper Ghost is heading toward Tong Qian."

Li Jun slapped his head and ran alone toward the stairs, apparently forgetting Li Le Ping's existence.

"..."

Li Le Ping helplessly shook his head and followed as well.

Li Jun arrived first at the second-floor corridor, seeing the horrific scene before him, he was shocked; this...

"The one hanging must be Guo Fan, right? Looks like he's dead."

Li Leping silently asked from behind Li Jun's back; although he had never seen Guo Fan, he could still guess it from the satellite phone's positioning.

"No, the ghost that Guo Fan controls is very special; its ability to preserve life is strong, so he should still be savable."

As Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard, Li Jun naturally knew of Guo Fan, the Ghost Master stationed in Da Jing City; after a careful search, Li Jun indeed found the black spirit tablet towering among countless corpses.

Seeing the spirit tablet, Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief; since the spirit tablet was still there, Guo Fan should still be alive.

But there was still a problem: how could they get past?

Li Jun discovered that his Ghost Realm was suppressed and could not be deployed; now he finally understood why Yang Jian, who also possessed a Ghost Realm, couldn't even leave a small hotel.

But Li Jun was not someone who easily retreated; ghost fire was not limited to expanding the Ghost Realm—it itself was also a means of attack.

In the next moment, green ghost fire flared up on Li Jun's body again; he intended to forcibly imprison all the ghosts in the hallway.

"Wait, we should still focus on rescuing people; blindly imprisoning them wastes too much strength."

Li Leping frowned and said, they weren't carrying any containers; even if they temporarily suppressed the evil ghosts, it would be pointless.

Speaking, Li Leping placed his hand on Li Jun's shoulder and led him inside; under the supernatural power of the forgetting ghost, the ghost ropes in the hallway seemed not to notice them.
