Looking at the dead Xiao Wang before him, Chen Guang felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, and his drunkenness instantly vanished.
"Ghost, ghost, ghost..."
He scrambled backward to the other side of the bed, so terrified he was practically crawling.
With a bang.
Chen Guang tumbled onto the bed. Ignoring the pain of his knees hitting the floor, he scrambled up and bolted for the bedroom door.
However, before he could even get to his feet.
A chilling, yin wind swept over him.
A pair of dead feet, covered in corpse spots and still bleeding, appeared on the floor in front of him.
Chen Guang looked up and screamed in terror, losing his voice.
The Xiao Wang who had been standing at the other end of the bed a moment ago was now in front of him, reaching out to grab him.
"Ah!!!"
Feeling the oppressive yin energy, seeing Xiao Wang's outstretched hand.
Chen Guang was so scared he was about to wet himself, crying out repeatedly:
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, Xiao Wang! Are you here for your wages? I, I didn't mean to withhold your wages, I'll have my assistant transfer the money to your mother right away."
He knelt there, rubbing his hands together and begging frantically:
"Xiao Wang, please don't come any closer, I was wrong, I didn't mean to. Oh, right, your insurance money has arrived, and I'll transfer that to you as well. Xiao Wang, I really didn't mean to owe you money."
"Really, believe me, today I not only wanted to give you money, but I also wanted to pay your mother's medical expenses. Oh, and I even wanted to invite your mother to work at our company, to work for you."
"This way, you won't have to know in the afterlife, and you won't have to worry about your mother being uncared for. The company will help take care of her."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A violent yin wind swept through the entire room.
Chen Guang, terrified, watched as Xiao Wang stared at him with a ferocious expression, roaring:
"I don't want your money, Chen Guang! You withheld my wages and took my insurance money, that was money to save my mother's life!!! You deserve to die!! I want your whole family dead!!!!"
[Ding! Xiao Wang roared, thinking, Mr. Zhang Wei, I roared this loudly, it should be okay, right?]
[Host gains System Points +10]
Xiao Wang roared, following Zhang Wei's instructions, to scare Chen Guang. This was arranged by Zhang Wei. For his mother's sake, Xiao Wang roared with all his might.
At this moment.
A strong yin wind raged in Chen Guang's room, blowing over everything, knocking over cups, and shaking cabinets violently.
The scene was like the end of the world.
Chen Guang was terrified and let out a high-pitched scream like a woman.
From a distance.
Zhang Wei, Zhang Chao, and Wu Nian, who were lurking outside the window and had come to watch the spectacle, looked at Xiao Wang in surprise.
"Xiao Wang's ferocious roar is truly terrifying. I almost peed a drop." Zhang Chao clicked his tongue.
Zhang Wei nodded, "Indeed, I almost thought he was a top-tier red-clothed vengeful spirit."
On the other side.
Chen Guang, listening to Xiao Wang's roar, was completely terrified.
But when he heard the last line about his whole family dying, he suddenly froze. Dying whole family? Ah!! Right!! He remembered. Dying whole family!! He suddenly recalled encountering Wu Nian and Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei and Wu Nian's words echoed in his mind – you will have a bloody disaster, your whole family will die tonight.
So they weren't scammers!
They didn't lie to me, I really am going to have a bloody disaster.
In a flash.
As if struck by inspiration, Chen Guang scrambled frantically, grabbed his suit jacket from beside the bed, and fumbled in his pocket, pulling out a yellow paper.
As if grasping a lifeline.
Chen Guang hurriedly raised the yellow talisman and pointed it at the approaching ghost of Xiao Wang.
Instantly.
A scene that delighted him appeared.
Xiao Wang, who had been rushing towards him, stopped in his tracks, looking very afraid of the yellow talisman, and dared not come any closer.
"It works?!"
Chen Guang was overjoyed and quickly waved the yellow talisman to scare Xiao Wang away.
[Ding! Xiao Wang saw the yellow talisman, here it comes, Mr. Zhang Wei said the yellow talisman is this one, he quickly pretended to be scared.]
[Host gains System Points +10]
At the same moment.
Having repelled Xiao Wang with the yellow talisman, Chen Guang couldn't be happy. He realized that Xiao Wang's ghost was afraid of the talisman, but it didn't retreat, it just dared not come closer.
Seeing this.
Chen Guang grabbed his phone and dialed Zhang Wei's number.
The person named Zhang Wei had told him he could call him if anything happened, and it was free!
Then.
Chen Guang nervously dialed the number, feeling a bit anxious. It was late at night, and he didn't know if the call would go through, or if Mr. Zhang Wei would be asleep...
The phone rang once and was answered:
"Hello, who is this?"
Hearing the voice on the phone, Chen Guang's face lit up with joy:
"It's me, it's me, Mr. Zhang Wei... No... Master Zhang Wei, it's me, it's the person you met at the hotel tonight, the one who said I would have a bloody disaster."
"Oh, I remember now, you're the one with the dark complexion, the one whose whole family was supposed to die tonight, right?"
"...Yes, that's me."
"Oh, it's you. Why are you calling me so late? Is something wrong? You haven't died with your whole family yet, have you? Let me see, oh, your whole family hasn't died yet."
Hearing Zhang Wei's words echoing in his ears, Chen Guang's mouth twitched, and he nodded repeatedly: "Master Zhang Wei, please save me quickly, a ghost is after me."
"Sir, please don't be nervous. Take out my yellow talisman, the ghost can't get close to you. I'll be right there to help you, send me your address."
"Okay, okay."
As soon as Chen Guang sent the address, he waited anxiously for 10 minutes.
Zhang Wei appeared at his window.
Then.
Under Chen Guang's gaze, Zhang Wei picked up a small stone, threw it, smashed his window, and broke in through the window:
"Sir, I'm here."
[Ding! Xiao Wang was happy to see the host enter, Mr. Zhang Wei really broke in through the window as planned.]
Seeing Zhang Wei jump through the window, Chen Guang was overjoyed and quickly hid beside Zhang Wei, pointing at the ghost of Xiao Wang outside the door:
"Master Zhang Wei, that ghost is right there, quickly, quickly help me get rid of that ghost."
"Hmm?"
"Master Zhang Wei, what's wrong? Why are you standing still?"
In response to Chen Guang's question, Zhang Wei grinned:
"Sir, you didn't give me any money, so how can I help you exorcise the ghost?"
"Ah? Give money?? Master, didn't you say you would help me exorcise ghosts for free before?"
"Yes, it's free. Free trial exorcism for 10 minutes. Look at the time, it's been 10 minutes since you called me, and the free trial period has just expired."
Zhang Wei showed the time on his phone and said slowly:
"Nowadays, the economy is not good, and every industry is facing involution. It's the same for our profession."
"So, to attract customers, we at Mount Wutai have launched a free trial service, offering free exorcism for 10 minutes, so that customers know how effective we are."
In his words.
Zhang Wei winked and put on his characteristic customer service smile:
"Sir, if you want to continue using this exorcism service, you need to recharge your membership."
Chen Guang: "...@#￥%……*!##4"
He wanted to curse. What the hell, are you playing a mobile game? There's even a recharge membership.
At the same time.
Zhang Chao, who was not far away, was about to burst out laughing.
He lowered his voice and said:
"So that's what Zhang Wei meant by using capitalists to deal with capitalists."
Before, he had asked Zhang Wei how to deal with Chen Guang and get money from him. Zhang Wei had simply replied that since Chen Guang used the vile methods of capitalists, he would fight fire with fire, using capitalists to deal with capitalists.
After all, only magic can defeat magic.
On the other side.
Chen Guang suppressed the urge to curse. After glancing at the menacing ghost of Xiao Wang at the door.
He said:
"How much do I need to recharge to become a member, Master Zhang Wei?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled again:
"Sir, you've caught a good time. We at Mount Wutai are currently having a promotion. During the period from April 28th to May 1st, if you recharge 648, you can become VIP Member 1."
"In addition."
"During the promotional period, there's a special offer – recharge any amount and get the same amount back."
"For example, if you recharge 200, we'll give you 200 back."
"So, if you recharge 100,000 now, you can achieve a氪度 (氪度 - a term referring to spending in games) of 200,000 and become VIP Member 2..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Chen Guang waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Wei:
"Stop talking, I'll recharge, I'll recharge 648, okay?"
"Okay." Zhang Wei took out a QR code from his pocket: "Sir, please scan the code to pay."
Following that.
With a "ding."
"Alipay transfer of 648 yuan."
Chen Guang said, "Master Zhang Wei, I've become a member of Mount Wutai now, hurry up and help me exorcise the ghost."
"Sir, VIP Member 1, your membership level is too low, we cannot deal with that ghost. That ghost is very strong, and your membership level is not enough."
Zhang Wei's words.
Chen Guang was stunned and blurted out instinctively: "Ah? What level of membership is needed then?"
"Sir, VIP Member 12 is required," Zhang Wei said.
His voice was not loud.
As it reached Chen Guang's ears.
Chen Guang snapped back to his senses: "Damn it! Master Zhang Wei, you bastard..."
