"Zhang Chao: Uh, it really seems so."
Prompted by Zhang Wei, Zhang Chao also reacted and noticed that Wunian hadn't responded for a long time.
However.
Despite his reaction, Zhang Chao didn't take it to heart.
"Zhang Chao: You're not going to say that because Wunian hasn't come back for so long, he ran into a ghost, damn, how is that possible, you scoundrel! How dare you slander me!"
"Zhang Chao: I suspect Wunian discussed it with his fellow disciples and was about to reply, but Xia Mei dragged him out for a late-night snack. I had a similar experience when chatting with Wunian before."
"Zhang Chao: Thinking about it now makes my head hurt. In the middle of the night, Wunian would say... Amitabha, Benefactor Xia Mei is asking this monk for a late-night snack, I can't chat anymore, this monk is going for a late-night snack, these dog food servings, damn it!"
Looking at the messages Zhang Chao sent.
Zhang Wei had just finished reading them and hadn't even had time to type a reply.
The next second.
Wunian appeared.
"Wunian: Amitabha, I apologize for replying to your messages so late."
"Zhang Chao: See, Wunian's here. Wunian, where did you go? Did you go for a late-night snack with Xia Mei? Why did it take so long to discuss a plan?"
"Zhang Wei: Same question."
"Wunian: Amitabha, no, I was indeed going to find Benefactor Xia Mei, but not for a late-night snack. Something happened, so the plan is temporarily put aside."
"Wunian: By the way, Zhang Chao, have you arrived in Sanjin City yet? If so, I'll give you an address, and you should come and meet me as soon as possible."
Huh?
Seeing the message from Wunian, Zhang Wei's brows twitched.
He knew from his previous chat with Zhang Chao that Zhang Chao, after learning he was going to Hawaii this morning, had taken two days off after dealing with a supernatural event with Zhang Mei, intending to visit Wunian and perhaps meet a beautiful woman in Sanjin City.
And Zhang Chao was currently on his way to Sanjin City after getting off the plane.
It was just that.
Why was Wunian suddenly asking this out of the blue, and asking Zhang Chao to meet him as soon as possible?
Combining Wunian's previous words.
Zhang Wei sent a message.
"Zhang Wei: Wunian, why are you asking this? Did something happen?"
"Wunian: I just received a notification. I don't know if it was the glasses from the Senluo Division or some ghost force, but it's suspected that a Ghost King has appeared, and besides the Ghost King, there are many vengeful spirits, and their numbers are estimated to be quite large. This is because I received a call for support from the Weidao Division's stationed base."
"Wunian: The number of ghosts might be very large. The number of ghost exorcists at the Weidao Division's stationed base in Sanjin City is not enough to deal with them, so I was just gathering my senior and junior brothers to rush over."
"Wunian: The situation is a bit urgent. Benefactor Xia Mei is not only there where the Ghost King appeared, but also many citizens."
"Wunian: So I want Zhang Chao to come quickly and join the support."
As Wunian sent these messages.
Zhang Wei immediately understood. No wonder Wunian was in such a hurry and had been silent before. He had encountered a large-scale supernatural event.
Moreover.
Xia Mei was involved in this, and she was currently at the place where the ghosts appeared.
"Zhang Chao: Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? I'm rushing over now. No, I'm already in Sanjin City. Instead of rushing to your place, wouldn't it be faster to rush to Xia Mei's place?"
"Wunian: Amitabha, it should be faster for you to go to Benefactor Xia Mei's place, but did you forget what I said? There's a Ghost King there."
"Wunian: I heard from Captain Zhang Mei that your strength has increased recently, and you can contend with top-tier vengeful spirits, but you're not capable of dealing with a Ghost King."
Wunian's message came.
Seeing this.
Zhang Wei, who was far away in Hawaii, smiled and quickly sent a message.
"Zhang Wei: That's not necessarily true."
At this moment.
"Zhang Chao: Yes, that's not necessarily true."
As soon as the message was sent.
Zhang Chao, who was far away in Sanjin City, was holding a 1:1 scale life-sized "Balala the Fairies" figurine. As he sent the message, his gaze swept over the Balala the Fairies he was holding.
"Wunian: ????"
Wunian, who was unaware of the situation, was stunned.
Why was Zhang Chao so confident? And Zhang Wei also said so, even before Zhang Chao... Hmm? Could it be...
"Wunian: Amitabha, Zhang Chao, do you have the Bodhisattva image that Zhang Wei offered?"
"Zhang Chao: Yes, I have a top-tier item that Zhang Wei gave me, but it's not a Bodhisattva image, though it's considered a divine being."
"Wunian: Amitabha, is it the 'Military Fire Tathagata' image?"
Wunian thought about what Zhang Wei had told him in the Northeast, that he also offered the "Western Heaven Military Fire Tathagata" and "98k Arhat." Given Zhang Wei's offerings, if they could kill Ghost King level entities, they should at least be Tathagatas, right?
However, as soon as the thought arose.
"Zhang Chao: It's not the Military Fire Tathagata."
"Wunian: Amitabha, then what divine being did Zhang Wei give you?"
Facing Wunian's inquiry.
Zhang Chao chuckled and replied:
"Zhang Chao: Balala the Fairies."
The next second.
"Wunian: ??????"
At this moment.
While Wunian was still stunned, Zhang Wei sent a message.
"Zhang Wei: Speaking of which, Zhang Chao, you've realized it now, haven't you?"
"Zhang Chao: Realize what? Pretending to be deaf and dumb.jpg"
"Zhang Wei: You've realized that Wunian is going to exorcise ghosts now, which means he's going to see ghosts."
"Zhang Wei: Look at this!! Wunian is also seeing ghosts, and you still say you're not a jinx!! "
"Zhang Chao: Nonsense! You're slandering me! Be careful, I'll sue you for defamation. This is just a coincidence. Otherwise, tell me, why is it that Wunian is seeing ghosts, and I have to follow suit and see many ghosts?"
"Zhang Wei: Does this need explanation? You've cursed too much, and now you're suffering the backlash."
After saying this.
Zhang Wei also sent an animated GIF of someone laughing maniacally and saying, "Hi hi hi, didn't expect this, you little brat!"
Immediately after.
"Wunian: Amitabha, what are you guys talking about? I don't understand. What do you mean by 'this monk is seeing ghosts' or 'jinx'?"
In response.
Zhang Wei recounted the conversation he had with Zhang Chao that morning.
"Zhang Wei: Wunian, you tell me, isn't Zhang Chao a jinx? He's too damn accurate, you can't not believe it. So, Wunian, you're going to deal with a large-scale supernatural event now, and it's all Zhang Chao's fault. Come and gang up on him with me! Ganging up on him.jpg"
"Zhang Chao: You scoundrel, don't try to sow discord between my deep friendship with Wunian, ptooey.jpg"
"Zhang Chao: Believe it or not, I'll start cursing you right now."
"Zhang Wei: Oh well, young man, you say that, I'm so scared. But I don't mind you cursing me. Anyway, I'm in Hawaii now. If something happens, it's not on our Great Xia territory, hahahahaha, arrogant.jpg"
Afterward.
Zhang Chao, while arguing with Zhang Wei, flagged down a passing taxi and rushed to the place where the Ghost King appeared.
As a member of the Weidao Division, even though Zhang Chao was usually flippant, when faced with a supernatural event that endangered the public, especially his good brother's wife, he dared not be careless. While arguing, he quickly hailed a taxi to go there.
