Instead of the usual fear that would grip someone upon learning of a ghost's presence, Li Junfei, in Zhang Wei's dorm, felt only curiosity.
After chuckling, Li Junfei couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wei, how many ghosts are in our dorm? Male or female? If female, are they pretty? How old are they? Brother Wei, how do you plan to deal with them?"
"Guess," Zhang Wei replied with a smile.
Li Junfei responded, "I guess Brother Wei will, if it's a male ghost entering our dorm, subject it to severe torture and then, on behalf of the people, punish evil and eliminate wickedness. If it's a female ghost, he'll interrogate it harshly and then, on behalf of the people, punish the wicked and eliminate evil."
As he spoke, despite the distance between them, they both shared a similar 'funny face' emoji smile, a tacit understanding.
Then, Zhang Wei slowly smiled and said, "Junfei, you're right. We should teach these wicked ghosts a good lesson. If it's a male ghost, we'll whip it hard until it screams. If it's a female ghost, we'll whip it hard until it screams."
"Yes, yes, whip it harder, whip it well," Li Junfei agreed.
Afterward, Zhang Wei replied, "Enough joking. Junfei, you have a good time at your gathering. Remember not to come back to the dorm. I'll deal with the ghost. I'm hanging up now."
"Okay, Brother Wei, good luck. I'll continue drinking. Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Wei, aren't you in Sichuan Province? How did you know there was a ghost in our dorm?" Li Junfei asked. He wasn't a ghost hunter and didn't know about things like the 'mother-child bells' that Zhang Chao and others did.
In response, Zhang Wei didn't hide anything and casually replied, "My figurine told me."
Upon hearing this, Li Junfei was like, "????"
...
On the other side, in Sanjin City, on a road.
At this moment, on the road with vehicles coming and going, a fat man stood by the roadside. He held a parasol in one hand and was patting a round object with the other, humming the theme song from Slam Dunk.
As he reached the climax of the theme song, he tossed the round object in his hand like a basketball, caught it, and continued patting it.
His appearance made the passing drivers think he was just a fat guy who had finished playing basketball and was on his way home.
However, some observant drivers glanced at the round object in his hand and realized it wasn't a basketball. They noticed that the 'basketball' seemed to have hair, like long hair. Upon closer inspection, they realized it wasn't a basketball at all, but a chilling human head... The fat man was indeed dribbling a head like a basketball.
"A happy day, so wonderful."
The fat man patted the ghost king's head, a joyful smile on his face. "Next, I'll go find the ghosts who posted the bounty on Zhang Wei. Let me see who to find first. I remember one was in this province."
As he spoke, the fat man took out his phone and logged into the Ghost Nest forum, preparing to check the wanted posters.
"Hmm? What's this..."
The fat man stopped in his tracks, his gaze drawn to the latest update on a saved wanted poster.
[A ghost has accepted my bounty. Those who posted bounties on Zhang Wei, join the group to watch the live assassination of Zhang Wei.]
Reading this message, the fat man froze. He hadn't expected a ghost to accept the bounty before him and to have already started the assassination of Zhang Wei. Without delay, using his status as the founder of Ghost Nest, he quickly joined the group to check the situation.
Soon, after reviewing the ghost chat content in the group, the fat man understood what was happening. This was a 'Bounty Zhang Wei' group formed by ghosts who had posted bounties on Zhang Wei, dedicated to condemning and denouncing Zhang Wei, and sharing his latest news. Furthermore, the group was now preparing to livestream the assassination of Zhang Wei. A powerful vengeful spirit, who had reached the half-step ghost king realm, had somehow obtained Zhang Wei's dorm address and was planning to livestream the assassination, aiming to collect all the bounty rewards in one go.
As it could be seen, the group chat was buzzing with activity.
[Zhang Wei Must Die #1]: Kill! Kill him fiercely!
[Zhang Wei Must Die #30]: Hahaha, hurry, hurry, I can't wait to see Zhang Wei bleeding profusely.
[Zhang Wei Must Die #90]: @Assassin, have you arrived at Zhang Wei's location? Reply quickly, waiting online, very urgent!
[Zhang Wei Must Die #99]: +1
Then a group of ghosts spammed "+1". Without exception, their group names were all [Zhang Wei Must Die + Sequential Number of Joining]. This was to easily distinguish who was posting the bounty and who was the 'bounty hunter' accepting the job.
[Assassin]: Esteemed bosses, I am on my way.
Looking at these group messages, the fat man's footsteps stopped, and his expression became peculiar.
"What the hell..."
If he hadn't known that Zhang Wei wasn't in the dorm, the fat man would have been extremely anxious. Immediately, he called Li Junfei. Like Zhang Wei, his first thought was Li Junfei's safety.
Not long after, after finishing his call with Li Junfei and learning that Li Junfei was out and had no intention of returning to the dorm, planning to stay out for the night, he finally felt relieved.
Then, the fat man put away his phone and muttered to himself, "No, I have to hurry and deal with this bastard. How dare he livestream the assassination of Zhang Wei." Although he knew Zhang Wei wasn't in the dorm and the assassin wouldn't be able to kill Zhang Wei tonight, it would be a different story when Zhang Wei returned. He had to hurry back and kill this assassin before Zhang Wei's return.
On his way back, he didn't forget to keep an eye on the group chat for information. To find the assassin, he sent a message:
[@Assassin, have you reached Zhang Wei's place yet? Hurry and start the livestream!! Can't wait to see it! Reply with 1 if you agree.]
After sending the message, the group was flooded with replies of "1".
...
On the other side, at Luxia University, Zhang Wei's dorm.
At this moment, since Zhang Wei and Li Junfei were not in the dorm, the entire dorm was dark, silent except for the sound of the wind blowing in from the balcony.
As the evening breeze blew in, the towel hanging by the window in the dorm swayed in the wind.
However, the next second, without any warning, a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the balcony window, grabbed the swaying towel, and stopped its movement. Through the moonlight shining in from outside the window, a chilling figure could be seen on the empty balcony. It seemed to have drifted in with the wind, appearing out of thin air on the balcony and entering the dorm. Zhang Wei's dorm was on the fifth floor, so how could anyone enter from the balcony?
Regardless of how it entered or its chilling appearance, it was clear that it was not human, but a... ghost.
Looking around the dark dorm, sensing no human presence, the ghost murmured, "Came at just the right time. It seems Zhang Wei hasn't returned yet."
The ghost then took out a mobile phone, opened a group called 'Bounty Zhang Wei', and sent a message:
[Assassin]: Esteemed bosses, I have arrived at Zhang Wei's address.
