Wu Nian and Lu Lianxue spoke successively.
"Zhang Wei, don't push yourself. These ghosts aren't like the Nine Evil Yin Gathering ghosts, but the number of ghosts, and the number of red-clothed fierce ghosts, are definitely more troublesome than what Wu Nian and the others encountered last time. It's not something you can handle alone."
"Amitabha, this humble monk agrees with Shi Lu's view. Let's deal with them together."
But before they could finish.
Zhang Wei turned his head and waved his hand at them:
"Don't say anything more. My darlings, watch me perform, okay? I, Zhang, am going to show off today. Even if Wang Feng wants to be on the trending topics, he can't stop me."
He took a step forward.
Zhang Wei put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the fierce ghosts surrounding him.
...
At the same time.
Northeast, in a废弃 building in Daxing City.
On the thirtieth floor.
A figure stood on the rooftop railing, letting the strong night wind blow, making their clothes flutter.
Under the light of the surrounding buildings and the moonlight, the figure's skin was eerily pale, and the dark veins on their face were clearly visible.
If one looked closely.
The person didn't breathe at all, yet could move like a living person.
Twisting their neck.
They gazed at the night view of Daxing City. Then, as if sensing something, they looked down at the window of a bedroom in an apartment building not far away. A woman was preparing to sleep. As she closed the window, she noticed the figure on the rooftop.
The two made eye contact.
The figure on the rooftop smiled sinisterly at her.
The woman screamed in terror. She had seen the figure on the rooftop clearly and fainted on the spot.
It was too bizarre.
The figure didn't look human at all. There were stitching marks on their neck, left cheek, hands, and feet.
It was as if they were pieced together from several corpses. The left hand was slender and had manicured nails, while the right hand was thick and powerful. The difference between the two hands was so great that even thirty years of masturbation wouldn't result in such a disparity. It was clear that hands from two different people were on one body.
"There are too many male parts in the body. I get aroused just by looking at a woman."
The pieced-together face of the figure showed dissatisfaction.
As soon as the words were spoken.
Suddenly, a lewd laugh came from the rooftop access door behind them.
"It's really the right time. I caught you, Tailor, in an embarrassing situation. So, when you piece together a body, you should pay attention to the details. By the way, you get aroused just by looking at them, so do you get 'energetic' in the morning like us men?"
A figure walked out from the access door.
"Say that again, and I'll sew your mouth shut."
The eyes of the figure on the rooftop twitched, and they spoke fiercely.
In their words.
She also looked at the other person.
The figure on the rooftop didn't want to dwell on this topic.
She asked, "Fatty, have you arranged for people to deal with Wu Nian?"
"I arranged it long ago. I estimate they should have made their move by now."
The figure in the hallway smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Wu Nian and those ghost exorcists escaping from the ghost domain almost exposed our plan. They dared to ruin our good deeds, so of course, we can't let them go."
The figure on the rooftop nodded and added: "Don't let that Zhang Wei go either. I've already heard that he is the indirect instigator. Wu Nian was able to escape and break through his life-and-death tribulation because of Zhang Wei."
The figure in the hallway waved their hand:
"Do I need you to tell me that? He's the one who almost exposed our plan. How could I let him go?"
"Speaking of which..."
"Tailor, are you reminding me because you want to take revenge for personal grievances?"
"I heard that one of your corpses, used to supplement body parts, was killed by Zhang Wei."
Saying that.
The figure in the hallway rubbed their chin with interest:
"I have to say, this Zhang Wei is quite a bane to us. He's ruined two of our plans in a row."
The two conversed for a while longer.
The figure in the hallway did not stay long. They turned and waved their hand:
"Alright, I've arranged everything you asked me to do. I'm leaving. Northeast matters are up to you."
"Hmm? You're leaving the Northeast? Do you have new arrangements?"
The figure on the rooftop asked in confusion.
The figure in the hallway replied carelessly: "No, I just heard that there's a large anime exhibition in Xiamen City, and I want to go join the fun and buy some figurines."
As their words were spoken.
It was clearly visible.
The pieced-together face of the figure on the rooftop twitched.
"You damn otaku ghost!" she snorted, somewhat enraged.
The figure in the hallway, however, was not angry and walked towards the corridor with an indifferent expression.
As a result.
The figure on the rooftop spoke again:
"Wait, I have another question."
The figure in the hallway couldn't help but roll their eyes:
"That's why I say anime is good. Women and female ghosts in the real world are so troublesome. Can you ask all your questions at once? I'm in a hurry."
"I don't quite understand why you asked me to meet you on this rooftop and emphasized that it couldn't be anywhere else. Is there something special about this place?"
Regarding the figure on the rooftop's confusion.
The figure in the hallway stopped and turned to look:
"Because it's cool. Don't all villainous factions in anime like to meet on dark rooftops? Like Gin in Detective Conan, villains talking with their clothes rustling in the wind... it's very cool."
After that.
The figure in the hallway left.
Leaving behind the figure on the rooftop, who, after coming to their senses, roared, "Damn otaku ghost, I'll f*** your mother!"
...
On the other side.
Harbin City, the night market street where Zhang Wei and the others were.
At this moment.
Ghosts from all directions were surrounding them.
Among them, several red-clothed fierce ghosts walking at the forefront had their eyes fixed on Wu Nian.
"Is that bald monk the Wu Nian monk that the higher-ups ordered to be eliminated? Pay close attention to him, he must die tonight."
"Right, and that Zhang Wei also has to die. Let me see who Zhang Wei is... Hmm?"
Suddenly.
All the ghosts froze for a moment, noticing Zhang Wei walking out from the crowd alone and heading straight towards them.
【Ding! The ghosts are confused. What is that person doing? Can't wait to deliver himself?】
【Host gains System Points +200】
When they heard what Zhang Wei said to Lu Lianxue and the other two.
They laughed.
【Ding! The ghosts want to burst into laughter.】
【Host gains System Points +250】
"Did I hear that correctly? He wants to deal with us alone?"
"If he wants to make us laugh to death, then he can indeed deal with us."
"Yes, I'm ready to die laughing on the Bridge of Helplessness... Holy crap?!"
The mockery lasted less than a second.
【Ding! The ghosts are terrified. Holy crap!! Yellow, yellow talismans...】
【Host gains System Points +250】
Including the strongest red-clothed fierce ghost present, all the ghosts' pupils contracted, and they stared at Zhang Wei in terror.
They saw Zhang Wei walking with his hands in his pockets.
As he approached.
He pulled his hands out of his pockets, and thousands upon thousands of yellow talismans surged out, instantly like a gushing spring.
At this moment.
Centered around Zhang Wei, the yellow talismans were like snow and torrential rain.
Carrying the endless sound of metal and sword clangs, they resonated with a clang, echoing in all directions, covering the night market street, overwhelming the ghosts, and sweeping in all directions.
