"Zhang Wei."
"Little Wei Zi."
Qiu Xiaolin and the others waved enthusiastically at Zhang Wei as soon as they saw him.
One was a 'goddess' dressed in a cool and stunning manner, the other a 'loli' who was cute and well-endowed. With two girls greeting one young man, it wasn't just Zhang Wei who noticed them; Lin Tong and others in the arrival hall also noticed them.
"Zhang Wei, you should go over quickly. Lianxue and the others are waiting for you. I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Lin Tong was very considerate and made up an excuse to leave.
Afterward.
After bidding farewell to Lin Tong, Zhang Wei went to meet Lu Lianxue and Qiu Xiaolin. Before they could speak, he asked first:
"By the way, Xiaoxue, Xiaomantou, when are you going ghost hunting?"
He hadn't forgotten what Qiu Xiaolin had said yesterday about Lu Lianxue taking Qiu Xiaolin ghost hunting.
Facing Zhang Wei's concern.
Both girls showed happy smiles:
"We're going tomorrow. Xiaoweizi, are you worried we won't be able to accompany you tonight, or are you worried about us?"
Qiu Xiaolin said, revealing her cute little tiger teeth and two shallow dimples. Her adorable appearance drew the attention of many passersby.
Lu Lianxue blinked her beautiful eyes:
"We originally planned to go tonight, but considering you've just returned, and Xiaolin said you traveled thousands of miles, you must be feeling restless. Moreover, it hasn't been confirmed if there are ghosts there, so we decided to go tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Zhang Wei. I've also asked another colleague. She's more powerful than me and is already stationed there to observe. With her and me, Xiaolin will be safe."
Listening to their words.
Zhang Wei reached out and ruffled their hair:
"Look how well Xiaoxue puts it. Xiaomantou, you should learn more from Xiaoxue. What's all in your head? Honestly... I love it."
The three of them chatted and laughed as they got into the car and headed to the mall.
Because the trip to Xishuangbanna was sudden, they hadn't spent a single day with Qiu Xiaolin and the others. Therefore, Zhang Wei had promised to take them shopping when he returned. After all, few girls dislike shopping, especially when the items they buy are free.
With Zhang Wei paying, how could they not be happy?
At this time.
On the way to the mall.
Through Lu Lianxue, Zhang Wei learned about the ghost hunting event they were about to undertake. It turned out to be about an injured ghost, suspected to have fled from the Northeast:
"Northeast? Are you sure?"
Zhang Wei's eyes flickered.
Lu Lianxue nodded her head lightly:
"Yes, there's over an eighty percent chance. Because of the trouble Senluosi caused in the Northeast, a large information database was temporarily established there, storing many supernatural events that have occurred in the Northeast recently."
"The ghost I'm taking Xiaolin to deal with this time is very similar to the ghosts in the Northeast supernatural events."
"Zhang Wei, you went to Xishuangbanna, so you might not know, but some things have happened in the Northeast these past two days, causing many demons and monsters to flee from the Northeast."
"It's because of this."
"That's why we are eighty percent sure that the ghost is from the Northeast."
Hmm?
As soon as he heard about the incident in the Northeast, Zhang Wei's spirits immediately lifted:
"What happened?"
Lu Lianxue said directly:
"It's like this. Last time, you told me that Captain Huang Qingshan tried to stop Senluosi from targeting the Huang family. As a result, the mastermind behind Senluosi in the Northeast appeared, killed three Qilin Guards, and left."
"Actually, that incident didn't just result in losses for the Weidaosi; Senluosi also suffered heavy casualties. Basically, apart from the mastermind, all other ghosts and monsters from Senluosi died, and the mastermind was exposed."
"Then, because of this incident, the five major families in the Northeast were angered. Along with the Weidaosi, many ghost kings level ghost hunters were dispatched, including some old veterans."
"They are conducting a carpet search of the Northeast to apprehend this mastermind."
"What happened these past two days is that the mastermind was discovered, and the other party engaged in a battle with those old veterans. The scene was truly spectacular."
In her words.
Lu Lianxue took out her phone, opened her photo gallery, and showed the photos to Zhang Wei.
These were photos taken by the Northeast Weidaosi of places after the tailor and the old veterans had fought.
It could be seen.
In the photos, the places were devastated, as if they had been bombarded by missiles, and were unrecognizable. Only from some wreckage could one vaguely make out that it was likely a village, with all sorts of buildings reduced to ruins.
"This is a place where the mastermind and the old veterans fought, a village, transmitted from the Northeast Weidaosi."
Lu Lianxue said:
"According to the ghost hunters from the Northeast Weidaosi, this was the location of the most recent battle between the mastermind and the old veterans. Although the village was relatively remote, it still had a population of several thousand people."
"Fortunately, the Weidaosi had made prior arrangements, and with the help of the old veterans, the villagers were evacuated immediately, resulting in only a few injuries."
"However, the village was not so lucky, as it was turned into ruins by the Northeast mastermind of Senluosi and the old veterans."
"This was also the biggest battle the mastermind had engaged in. It's possible that after being hunted by the Weidaosi and the old veterans of the five Northeast families these days, the mastermind got angry and actively engaged the old veterans. This village was the result."
"Oh, right."
"The identity of the mastermind has been confirmed. Their method is that of a corpse stitcher, and it's highly likely they are the creator of the iron coffin zombie that you dealt with in the Northeast before, Zhang Wei."
"Because that iron coffin zombie was later controlled by the mastermind using a special method and escaped from the morgue where the Weidaosi preserved bodies."
"Fortunately, you dealt with the iron coffin zombie well at the time, Zhang Wei. The mastermind couldn't use parts of the iron coffin zombie's body to repair themselves, which allowed the old veterans to inflict some damage on the mastermind."
As Lu Lianxue said this.
Zhang Wei finally understood why ghosts and monsters from the Northeast were fleeing in all directions.
This was Senluosi and Weidaosi fighting in the Northeast, and it wasn't just at the level of ordinary ghost kings. Battles of this magnitude were no different from modern warfare.
The most important thing was the mastermind of the corpse stitcher. This was not only dangerous to ghost hunters but also to ghosts and monsters, as it could use their bodies for repair. What ghost or monster would want to be forcibly 'donated organs'?
Involuntarily.
Zhang Wei looked at the scene in the photo:
"This battle can't even be described as fierce, Xiaoxue, Xiaomantou. Look at this photo, the foundations are exposed."
Lu Lianxue gave Zhang Wei a glare:
"Yes, I heard the scene was actually even more terrifying than the photos. That was a battle of old veteran level. The Weidaosi also realized the strength of the mastermind and has been successively mobilizing personnel."
"They are going to completely suppress this mastermind," Zhang Wei said.
Lu Lianxue nodded:
"The mastermind is very strong, no weaker than that guy with glasses. He must hold a high position in Senluosi. As long as they apprehend him, not only will the trouble in the Northeast be stopped, but perhaps this opportunity can be used to completely eradicate Senluosi."
Stop the trouble in the Northeast...
Hearing this, Zhang Wei's eyes flickered as he looked towards the Northeast.
Perhaps he hadn't thought much of it before.
But now, knowing the situation in the Northeast, Zhang Wei suddenly remembered that when Li Junfei approached him last night, he had mentioned that Brother Pang had been busy lately.
So...
With such a major incident happening in the Northeast, Senluosi couldn't possibly be inactive.
And he had previously guessed that Brother Pang might be from Senluosi. Now that the creator of the iron coffin zombie was confirmed to be the Northeast mastermind of Senluosi, it meant that Brother Pang was most likely from Senluosi.
Then, could the 'busy' that Brother Pang mentioned now be related to going to the Northeast?
...
