Chapter 73

"Crouch down with your hands on your head, don't move!"

A public security officer shouted instinctively; obviously this was the instinctive reaction of a public security officer,

"What the hell! Shoot first, priority to tranquilizer rounds!"

Zhu Sihai shouted loudly, cutting him off: "Who knows if they're normal people or Ghost Masters? Shoot first, talk later!"

Since Zhu Sihai has spoken, the other public security officers naturally dare not be negligent.

Pop-pop-bang-bang.

The public security officers equipped with tranquilizer guns raised their weapons and fired at the four people; a hail of tranquilizer rounds shot out of the muzzles and into their bodies.

As for whether getting hit by so many tranquilizer rounds would kill someone, that wasn't something they needed to consider.

"Holy shit!"

The next scene instantly shocked the public security officers present.

Because the four people standing before them had the spots where the bullets hit strangely dent inward, with no wounds, no blood traces, lacking any of the phenomena normal people would have.

"Protect Anna and the dolls and get them out!"

The leading man dropped the act, shouting in English loudly; after speaking he drew his gun to return fire, while also running toward the outside of the Public Security Bureau.

And the two men carrying the body bags also heard the man's words, but without pausing they dragged Anna while shouldering the bodies and rushed out of the Public Security Bureau.

"Use live ammunition!!"

Zhu Sihai was also getting anxious; if the corpses were really taken, when Chen Shoushan returns, how would he explain it to him?

Bang bang bang.

And the penetrating power of real bullets was far greater than that of tranquilizer rounds; the copper-yellow bullets struck the four people, and now their skin wasn't dented—instead, under the bullets' penetrating power, countless tiny holes were punched through.

Yet still no blood flowed out, and moreover, through some of the bullet holes one could even see the scenery not far away—they had been shot through!

No wailing, no screams; the four continued running without reaction, as if they hadn't been shot at all.

This scene also dumbfounded Zhu Sihai and the others—so many guns fired and they still aren't dead; are they even human? Even if the bureau's chief were hit by that many bullets, he'd surely die, right?

And the four nonetheless charged through the hail of gunfire and burst out of the Public Security Bureau.

"Chase! Retrieve the corpses!"

Zhu Sihai said firmly, "I've realized these guys are just unkillable cockroaches—disgusting, but with zero lethality!"

Indeed, if these people were truly powerful Ghost Masters, there'd be no need to resort to deception.

Just as the four burst out of the Public Security Bureau, before they could savor the joy of breaking out of the encirclement, a gentle voice reached their ears; at the moment the voice appeared, it seemed as if even the gunfire behind them had vanished, as if their ears were being compelled to hear only this sound.

"Are you associates of Luokuang? Four Ghost Masters—has overseas become this advanced now?"

A handsome, gentle man stood on the street of the Public Security Bureau, smiling at them.

Anyone daring to appear in this situation, even if the four were foolish, would know the person before them is certainly not benevolent; yet they felt no malice toward this handsome man before them…

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the leading man suppressed his sudden surge of guilt, hesitantly raised his gun, and fired a shot at Chen Shoushan.

At such close range, the professionally trained man was confident he could take down the man before him with a single shot, yet he never imagined the bullet would curve.

That bullet curved around Chen Shoushan's head and lodged into the concrete beside him.

"It's the bureau chief!! Scatter and run!"

The man's pupils constricted as he shouted urgently.

At this short distance, it's impossible for him to miss; the problem must be the man before him!

Having said that, he took the lead running to one side; they have four people while Chen Shoushan is just one—even if they can't beat him in a fight, they can surely outrun him, right?

Having said that, the man didn't even bother to check on his companions as he took off running; he knew best what they were—maybe they could block a few bullets, but if they encountered a true Ghost Master, they'd be no different from ordinary people.

And seeing them running about in a frenzy, Chen Shoushan showed no sign of anxiety, for as soon as those weird little ghosts dashed out of the Public Security Bureau, Chen Shoushan had already deployed confusion around them.

This is also why the shooter saw the bullet curve—because his gun barrel wasn't even aimed at Chen Shoushan to begin with.

Thus the four fled wildly within the range of confusion; as long as they remained within Chen Shoushan's confusion zone, their sense of direction, distance, and so on were scrambled, but not completely random—rather, they were skewed toward the direction Chen Shoushan desired.

For example, right now, since Chen Shoushan doesn't want them to leave, those four within the confusion range will, aided by the scrambled sense of direction and distance, forever loiter within that tiny area until the extraordinary confusion ability ends.

At this moment Zhu Sihai came charging out with fierce momentum; seeing the four spinning in place, he hesitated a moment, but then immediately spotted Chen Shoushan standing not far away, and suddenly realized, excitedly shouting: "Chief Chen! Chief Chen has returned, Chief Chen has returned—Dahe City will finally get better!"

Zhu Sihai's excitement wasn't entirely an act; these past few days he's been trembling with fear every day, worried that Dahe City might erupt again, with people constantly coming to him for help.

Now that Chen Shoushan has returned, he can go back to making money again; he doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters—how could he not feel genuinely excited?

Not only Zhu Sihai but the other public security officers who saw Chen Shoushan also felt much more relieved, as if as long as Chen Shoushan was present, everything would improve.

"Go fetch a few pairs of custom handcuffs—what about Ye Feng?"

Ignoring Zhu Sihai's excitement, Chen Shoushan gave the order.

These people's bodies have been turned into a honeycomb, covered all over with dense tiny holes and pits; such injuries would likely kill Chen Shoushan if he suffered them, yet they are completely unharmed.

But given these four, Ye Feng should be able to handle them easily—why did they cause such a commotion at the Public Security Bureau? That's why Chen Shoushan asked Zhu Sihai where Ye Feng had gone.

"Quick, go to the bureau and get the handcuffs, Chief Chen—oh no, Ye Feng, Ye Feng is missing inside the school…"

Zhu Sihai had the nearby public security officer fetch the handcuffs, while he himself ran up to Chen Shoushan and pleaded tearfully.

Huh? Ye Feng is missing; Chen Shoushan kept a calm exterior, but inside he was somewhat surprised—Ye Feng is a Ghost Master who commands two ghosts, skilled in both offense and defense; in the original story, if he hadn't been dragged into the hungry ghost incident, he wouldn't have died.

But now he can't even handle a single supernatural incident? Is it carelessness, or are these supernatural events just too tricky?
