Chapter 32 We've gotten ourselves into trouble. Since things have come to this, let's have
Zhou Zheng chuckled: "When I was young, I was impulsive and wanted to broaden my horizons, so I went out and wandered around by myself. Later, after seeing and experiencing more, I felt that a stable life was more comfortable, so I went back to my hometown to lie down and play video games. Here's a funny story: if you don't have a garage outside and park your car in the yard, sometimes it gets hit by stray bullets and becomes a wrecked car. Although the car wasn't expensive, it was still a real shame; it was covered in dents and holes, and in the end, I could only leave it there."
Xuan Yizi was stunned: "Where did you run off to? That was so exciting!"
Zhou Zheng shrugged: "I was poor, so the place I lived in was relatively cheap. But that lousy place would set off firecrackers every few days, and in the end, I had to beat them both up before they stopped."
Tang Ying: "..." Master Zhou was more sincere than expected, but also more ambiguous than expected.
Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "But that's all in the past. It's still more comfortable to lie at home."
"Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou! Our video went viral! It went viral!"
Xiaoxue excitedly ran over with her phone.
Zhou Zheng: "Finished running?"
Xiaoxue looked at Zhou Zheng's eyes and swallowed hard. "I'll keep running. I've left your phone here. Check it yourself."
Zhou Zheng shook his head, took the phone and glanced at it: "It's gone viral, so what? Huh, so many likes. Let me see what these silly netizens are saying."
Comment section: "Any ghost lovers want to go exploring the old urban planning area together? ^◡^."
This is among the top-rated posts, and it even ends with cute emojis.
What are you fangirling about?
This is an evil spirit luring people online to their doom, only to trap them there.
Zhou Zheng's smiling face froze instantly: "Are these people crazy? Why would they band together to go to such a dangerous place?"
Xuan Yizi leaned over to take a look and laughed: "Master Zhou, you're in trouble! You've gotten yourself into trouble!"
Zhou Zheng exited the app, opened Juxin to call Xu Fan, and found that the top message was a message from himself, Xiao Zhengjun, and Xue Ting.
?
"Oh, I made a mistake, this is Xiaoxue's."
Zhou Zheng put down her phone and used his own to make a video call to Xu Fan.
The video call was answered after ringing three times.
Xu Fan rubbed his face, propped himself up against the headboard, and looked exhausted: "Master Zhou, are you a deity? You were so tired last night, how could you get up so early this morning?"
Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow: "You're still sleeping in the middle of the day?"
Xu Fan complained, "I'm on the night shift! The night shift! If I don't sleep during the day, when will I ever sleep?"
Zhou Zheng: "Alright, I won't hold it against you then. My video went viral last night, and some people are planning to form a group to go on an adventure to your place. I wanted to ask..."
"Holy crap! What's wrong with these guys?! They come here to explore this godforsaken place?!"
Xu Fan woke up in fright, dumbfounded.
Zhou Zheng shrugged: "Sorry, I was just filming for fun, I didn't expect it to go viral."
Xu Fan slapped his forehead: "I'm really impressed. I've filmed so many videos and none of them went viral, but yours did. Fine, I don't need to sleep now, I'm going to get up and work overtime."
Zhou Zheng: "I'll give you a portion of the video revenue as an apology. I'm asking if you need any help. I can come over now."
Xu Fan looked speechless: "Forget about the money, I have a pretty good salary."
Zhou Zheng was surprised: "You don't love money either? I was originally planning to give you 10,000, but I made a bit too much at last night's carnival."
Although the broadcast last night was short, a few big spenders, just for the thrill, showered Xiaoxue and Lingtu with gifts to get them to go upstairs.
Xu Fan: "...But then again, who can refuse a generous gift from a tycoon? Brother, I'll send you my bank account number right away. Let's meet at the villa gate where we met last night. Give me a call when you get there; I'm going to work overtime now."
Zhou Zheng: "Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble."
Xu Fan was moved to tears: "No trouble at all, brother, it's no trouble at all. Whatever you do is right." What kind of amazing older brother is this? His combat power is off the charts, he has half the good karma, he's easy to talk to, and he even uses money to pave the way.
Don't be so formal, bro. Just do whatever you want.
Zhou Zheng asked curiously, "Is ten thousand a lot for you? Aren't you an official?"
Xu Fan: "...catch an ordinary evil spirit and send it in, and you'll get a 500 yuan commission."
Zhou Zheng recalled the five evil spirits he had fought alone last night, and then thought about the number of evil spirits imprisoned in the cursed land. He sincerely said to Xu Fan, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Fan was moved: "It's no hard work. It's serving the people and serving my elder brother."
Zhou Zheng: "Then I'll go grab a bite to eat first. You go ahead and get busy. I'll bring some people over around 2 PM."
Xu Fan: "Okay, big brother, eat and drink well, no rush, no rush."
The phone hangs up.
Zhou Zheng remarked, "Xu Fan is quite nice, and very easy to talk to."
Judging from this, this person is quite dedicated; after giving the money, his attitude became even more dedicated and friendly.
Xuan Yizi: "...If you give me ten thousand yuan, I'll be very easy to talk to."
Tang Ying interjected, "Master Zhou, should we call the boss and have the road blocked over there?"
Zhou Zheng turned his head in surprise: "Block the road? He has that authority?"
Tang Ying laughed and said, "So what if there's public opinion? We'll handle it legally and compliantly. We can't just let these people run around causing trouble in the abandoned development zone. What if something bad happens?"
Zhou Zheng leaned back tactically: "Swords, guns, and cannons are all that matter."
Zhou Zheng opened Xiaoxue's phone, found Xiao Zhengjun's number, and dialed it directly.
Who is it?
Zhou Zheng: "I am Zhou Zheng. Uncle, the video I filmed last night has gone viral. Some locals are planning to form a group to explore that area. That area is the residence and office of Xu Fan, a public official of the underworld. There were more than a dozen evil spirits imprisoned in the area I passed by last night. Could you help block the road so that Xu Fan and I can deal with those evil spirits before releasing them?"
Xiao Zhengjun: "...Okay, are those evil spirits dangerous?"
Zhou Zheng: "It's not dangerous before you eat a person, but it becomes dangerous after you do."
Xiao Zhengjun: "Okay, I'll make a call and discuss it."
The phone hangs up.
Zhou Zheng glanced at his phone and muttered, "This uncle seems to have a problem with me."
Tang Ying stood up: "Master Zhou, do you need me to call someone to assist you?"
Zhou Zheng: "No need. Since things have come to this, let's eat first. We'll eat and rest before we go over. Xu Fan is a first-level Soul Reaper, after all; he can't be helpless against ordinary evil spirits."
The fact that he could keep so many evil spirits trapped in the house, and that the five evil spirits didn't even break into the house to leave before they were killed, is enough to prove that Xu Fan is quite capable.
Tang Ying was stunned: "Daoist Master, are you really this lax in your approach to life?"
Xuan Yizi laughed and said, "This matter is just a bit troublesome, not something to be anxious about. If it weren't a big deal, Xu Fan would have called himself. If it were a big deal, he would have called his superiors for help long ago. It's not our place to worry."
Zhou Zheng immediately raised his hand and shouted to the auntie, "Auntie, could I have a bowl of stir-fried beef noodles, please?"
"Okay, almost done."
Xiaoxue's voice rang out from the gym: "Auntie, I want beef xiaolongbao!"
The auntie was both amused and exasperated, wiping her scarf with her hand: "Then should I go outside to buy some? It's too late to make it now."
"Okay! Thank you, Auntie!"
