Chapter 587: How Not to Fear Ghosts

~11 min read 2,174 words

Boom~

After a blast, Song Jing Zhi Jie was completely freed.

The Iron Door was shut again, to be dealt with later when the gold is moved at night.

The crucial item will be burned away in a single fire.

Then the cave will be sealed completely.

Two hours later.

These little ones are really terrible!

Liu Erwa, still trembling, cut off the metal wire located behind the door.

Behind the third Iron Door is an ammunition depot.

Behind the Iron Door a steel wire is tied, coated with a layer of butter, and after seventy years it has not rusted or broken.

If the door is rashly pushed open, it will pull the metal wire, causing the connected explosives at the other end to detonate.

This is indeed an ammunition depot.

If an explosion occurs, not only this cave but the entire mountain would be blown down.

Such a mechanism is very simple to set up.

Moreover, the designer never considered that they would re-enter shortly afterward.

It can be called pure malice, and it's unclear whether it targets their own people or those who will come later to dig for treasure.

Zhao Xiaoyang laughed, "Didn't expect the little ones would think about killing their own!"

Tang Mi said, "It's obvious! The one who set the trap must be one of those who died, probably filled with resentment after receiving the mission."

Next to the Iron Door a hole fifty meters in diameter was drilled.

Liu Erwa squeezed in through that opening.

After cutting the metal wire, he carefully inspected it several times.

Only after confirming no problem did he pull open the Iron Door.

This is the last Iron Door in this cave.

The first Iron Door leads to a Medical Room and research lab.

Behind the second Iron Door are piles of skeletons filling half the cave.

Those skeletons are all the little ones themselves.

They were probably the little ones who were severely wounded in battle, brought here, and could not be saved,

In the emergency they weren't buried in time, stacked together like piles of potatoes.

Behind the current third Iron Door, aside from weapons and ammunition, we only need to see if there's gold.

After the door opened, Lin Feng inspected it personally.

At the deepest part, he carefully pried open an ammunition box.

Gold bars, still glossy from oil, appeared before his eyes.

The flashlight's beam reflected the golden shine.

The gold was finally found!

At night, Moli No. 1 arrived.

A large amount of gold was moved out.

After tallying, the amount was over 150 tons.

The purity was high, requiring no refining.

Current gold price is about $40 million per ton, so the 150+ tons are worth at least $6 billion.

In just two or three days, $6 billion came in, and Lin Feng suddenly thought the money arrived too fast.

At 4 a. m. on the 23rd, Moli No. 1 transported the gold back.

The Iron Door was sealed again, the gap welded shut with a welding torch.

Then the entrance was blown shut, sealing it again.

Of course it couldn't just be left unattended.

It has another purpose.

Some factions of the little ones have never given up searching for this gold.

Moreover, many of these people are weasel‑like heterodox individuals.

Lin Feng decided to give them a big gift.

So he installed even more sophisticated traps inside.

He employed the most advanced infrared alarm devices.

He took the gold here, of course to avenge the little ones who died because of the buried gold!

Pull a few more backs for them… Yo Xi, Boss Lin, great!

"He's so bad!"

"Yeah! Really bad, didn't you know?"

"I know!"

"Then tell me how he is bad?"

When leaving, Tang Mi and Ouyang Moli walked ahead, muttering softly.

If a man isn't bad, a woman won't love him.

Lin Feng understood it that way.

And from Tang Mi's and Ouyang Moli's tone, it was actually a compliment.

These two usually argue a lot when they're together; with Qi Yao present, they ended up chatting together.

To resolve internal conflicts, the best method is to have external pressure.

Seeing the smug smile on Lin Feng's face, Qi Yao asked curiously, "What are they saying?"

Lin Feng replied immediately, "They said you're cool!"

Qi Yao fell silent, because she didn't believe it.

Never mind, it's none of my business.

"I want to go back…"

After a moment of silence, Qi Yao suddenly said.

"No! There are still dozens of places ahead!"

"Don't be scared, there's no ghost!"

"That's because you're here."

Qi Yao wants to return early; first, to do research, second, because she misses her son.

Her son Lin Shiyi has been on a food‑shortage for three days, surviving only on drinks, pitifully.

Lin Feng obviously understands; his own son is still the priority.

The little guy is barely a month old!

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "How about this: I'll first find all the gold in one go, then you come over for a few days, and we'll open the treasure vault together… I really can't manage without you."

"Hmm!"

Qi Yao nodded in agreement.

"By the way! What was that red shadow the night before last?"

Lin Feng glanced behind him and asked softly.

Qi Yao explained to Liu Erwa that it was a visual effect.

But Lin Feng saw clearly; the red shadow was a human silhouette.

Later, when they entered the cave, there were no ghostly shadows at all.

It was probably scared away by the House Guarding Divine Beast.

Whether that ghost will return later is unknown, but the gold is already in hand.

Actually, Qi Yao also saw it clearly.

"It's an illusion," she said lightly.

Qi Yao knew this explanation couldn't convince Lin Feng.

After a moment of silence she said again, "You can think of it as a kind of magnetic‑field‑like energy; it can affect the human brain and cause hallucinations.

Compared with the energy humans possess, this energy is so weak it can be ignored.

If you can control your will, when it doesn't exist, even if it's strong, it cannot affect your brain…"

Lin Feng also understood the theory Qi Yao presented.

But knowing is one thing; actually seeing a ghost is another.

"Through training, can one reach a state like yours?" Lin Feng asked.

Qi Yao shook her head, "I don't know! Anyway, I think this thing is nothing special."

Lin Feng frowned; Qi Yao spoke casually because she is the House Guarding Divine Beast.

She herself can't!

Qi Yao thought for a moment and added, "I'll teach you a method!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Feng looked at Qi Yao with an expectant expression.

Qi Yao said, "You can practice Dao techniques."

Lin Feng gave a wry smile, "I'm too clever, not suited for cultivation. Because I know it's actually self‑hypnosis."

Qi Yao thought again and said, "If that doesn't work, imagine it as… a villain that hurt your girlfriend."

"Eh~"

Lin Feng began to imagine it in his mind.

If Qi Yao were harmed…

Just a brief thought, and angry emotion filled his chest; the killing aura emanating from him made Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa, who were behind, stop in their tracks.

Tang Mi and Ouyang Moli stared at Lin Feng and Qi Yao with shocked faces.

Lin Feng has killed people, many of them.

This murderous aura when enraged is truly overwhelming.

An aura is something hard to define, yet it can definitely be felt.

Qi Yao wasn't shaken by Lin Feng's presence and said lightly, "That's enough!"

"Huh~"

Lin Feng let out a breath.

Then, he planted a kiss on Qi Yao's forehead.

Qi Yao grasped Lin Feng's arm with a slight pressure.

She knew who Lin Feng was imagining.

Seeing this scene, Tang Mi pursed their lips, feeling sour inside.

Ouyang Moli pinched her little cheek and said with a smile, "Your mind is really narrow; don't you think about where you've been running off to these past two nights? If I were the boss, I'd whip you with a lash…"

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

The date arrived at January 30th.

Lin Feng took advantage of the night and returned to Yanjing.

Today is Friday, and Yanjing is clear and sunny.

Lin Feng had to have Moli No. 2 land at the location of the training camp.

After waiting a few minutes, Yang Caiwei's former 19th mother Zheng Enhui arrived in a car.

"Caiwei?"

Seeing that it was Zheng Enhui, and that Yang Caiwei hadn't come, Lin Feng frowned and asked.

Zheng Enhui said, "Yang Yu is ill and may not hold on much longer; we received a call tonight and went to the hospital."

Is Potato brother about to die?

Lin Feng was somewhat skeptical.

Zheng Enhui said, "Once a person's spirit is gone, they easily fall ill."

Lin Feng said nothing, opened the passenger seat of the sedan and sat down.

"Drive, to Ronald Hospital."

After Zheng Enhui got in the car, Lin Feng said lightly.

"Do you know that Yang Yu is at this hospital?" Zheng Enhui asked, a little puzzled after starting the car.

Lin Feng said nothing.

Zheng Enhui suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, Director Guo is in the hospital about to give birth."

Lin Feng said lightly, "In the same hospital, what a coincidence."

Yang Yu is about to pass away; Lin Feng only sighed, without sorrow.

To be honest, given what Yang Yu did before, he doesn't deserve sympathy.

He betrayed Guo Jia's interests; he should have died long ago!

"What illness does he have?" Lin Feng asked.

A trace of sorrow flickered across Zheng Enhui's face, and she said lightly, "Organ failure; the doctor says he has no desire to live."

After all those years, even without feelings, Yang Yu at least owed her a debt.

Without Yang Yu, her fate might have been terrible; perhaps she would have already been gone.

Lin Feng said nothing.

Soon he stopped thinking about it.

With this, he could have two more daughters!

Both Guos are in the hospital.

Zheng Enhui drove the car fast; it took less than an hour to reach Ronald Hospital.

When Lin Feng entered the hospital, Guo Yanru had already given birth, via Caesarean section.

Mother Qin Li was overjoyed, perched outside the glass wall, eyes fixed on the newborn great‑granddaughter lying in the incubator.

Since the weather is cold and the child's body is a bit weak, she can only stay in the incubator for now.

Lin Feng watched for a while, then went to the ward to see Guo Yanru.

Guo Yanru wore a happy smile.

Having a child, boy or girl, makes her life perfect.

She asked Lin Feng to name the child.

"Cough cough!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to speak, Aunt Wang coughed a few times.

Then she said, "Xiao Feng, last night your mother sent a dream and gave the child a good name."

"Ah~"

Lin Feng looked at Aunt Wang with a surprised expression.

One time is one thing, but a second time she sent a dream!?

But Lin Feng didn't think much; a few days earlier he had asked Qi Yao how to deal with ghosts!

Perhaps the elderly couple is now wandering the hospital, eyes wide as they stare at the child in the incubator.

They might not even realize they're impostors.

Probably not, right?

Otherwise they wouldn't have sent a dream to name the child.

"What name?" Lin Feng asked.

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Lin Qingyue, Lin Qingxia."

Two names?

Looks like the daughter of Guo Yanqiu is also prepared.

Mother must be a fan of Lin Qingxia…

At that moment a female doctor and two nurses walked in.

The female doctor called Lin Feng aside and told him that Guo Yanru can no longer have children.

Lin Feng frowned.

This matter might be a blow to Guo Yanru, though it's uncertain.

Lin Feng also didn't intend to hide it from Guo Yanru.

After the doctor left, he conveyed the news to Guo Yanru.

Guo Yanru was very calm, smiling, "It's fine, one child is enough for me; I already made such a wish before the Arhat."

"Which Arhat? I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Lin Feng said irritably.

Guo Yanru knew Lin Feng was teasing her to keep her from being sad, and smiled, "Stop teasing, really, I'm fine."

Then she whispered, "From now on when we play, you won't have to worry!"

Lin Feng: "Uh~"

At that moment, Aunt Wang, who had stepped out for a while, came in, "Xiao Feng, quick quick quick! Third floor, Lin Qingxia is out."

"That fast! Those two must have arranged it before reincarnation, right?"

Lin Feng looked surprised.

At the same time, in the Intensive Care Unit, Yang Yu, after informing all the children in the room of his affairs, slowly closed his eyes.

On the heart monitor, a straight line appeared.
