Chapter 24 Desperate Situation
Chapter 24 Desperate Situation
"Alright, let's leave here first."
Lin Yuan grabbed Zhou Zheng's shoulder, preparing to use the mirror to travel away.
Although there is a ghost waiting for him in the mirror world, as long as he leaves quickly enough, the ghost cannot come looking for him immediately.
Before he came, he had already left behind enough supernatural mediums.
It's not much, but it's still quite convenient to leave.
"Want to leave? You might be disappointed."
Ye Jun sneered, his voice full of mockery, and as his words fell, the once luxurious hall suddenly changed its appearance.
Thick layers of black cloth fell down, completely covering the windows and walls.
Even the bar counter with its many bottles and the glass-topped tables were completely covered, leaving not a single gap.
"Lin Yuan, you could escape through the mirrors, but now that there are no mirrors here, can you still escape?" Ye Jun sneered, with a sense of satisfaction at having avenged a great grudge.
"Alright! Stop acting all bitter and resentful. We might still be friends in the future."
A calm voice came from behind him. Ye Jun's expression changed. He was very unwilling, but he didn't dare to refute the words.
At the same time, the ghost tamers surrounding Lin Yuan and Zhou Zheng all made way for them, and respectfully called out, "Chairman Wang."
Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand without answering. He looked Lin Yuan up and down, then suddenly asked, "You guessed it?"
The others didn't understand what he was saying in riddles, but Lin Yuan understood: "When Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiaoyu were talking, I heard Liu Xiaoyu's voice."
The truth is, the "Liu Xiaoyu" that Wang Xiaoqiang found was too mature, and her charming aura couldn't be concealed even over the phone.
Lin Yuanke remembered the settings in the book.
How could Liu Xiaoyu, who would wear pigtails to see Yang Jian, possibly be like this?
If she had called herself Qin Meirou, he might have actually believed her.
"There are fewer and fewer Ghost Tamers willing to use their brains these days. Although you don't have a Ghost Domain, your ability to travel through space using mirrors is quite good. How about it, come and help me. This isn't headquarters, just a private club. There aren't as many rules as at headquarters, but the resources you can get here are definitely no less than what you get at headquarters."
Wang Xiaoqiang extended an invitation, demonstrating his sincerity and offering promises regarding compensation and benefits:
No less capable than the head of headquarters!
These words caused the expressions of Ye Jun and the others to change, clearly showing their envy, jealousy, and resentment at this treatment.
They didn't receive such treatment; they earned money mostly by working for the club's wealthy members and by buying and selling ghosts.
The last person to receive this treatment was Ye Feng, who controlled two ghosts!
They dared not question Wang Xiaoqiang's decision, but they were not so polite to Lin Yuan. If looks could kill, he would be dead by now.
"Chairman Wang's promise is indeed tempting. May I ask a question?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Ye Jun suddenly felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them not long ago.
Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't heard of it, but he was confident. "Ask away."
Lin Yuan pointed at Ye Jun and said, "Ye Jun stole a car and killed someone. Let him go back with Zhou Zheng, is that alright?"
Ye Jun's already angry eyes became even colder and more piercing, but unfortunately, no one cared.
"Lin Yuan, you're still young. In your eyes, fairness and justice represent everything. But after a while, you'll find that the moment you control a vengeful spirit, we're no longer normal humans. We are the same kind."
Wang Xiaoqiang spoke calmly, with an air of utter disdain, "If you say you want to take action against Ye Jun because you dislike him and have a personal grudge, I won't interfere, as long as no one dies. But if you expect me to hand over the club members because of a single death, how can I sit in this position afterward? Who will respect me?"
"I understand. Now, to answer your previous question, I refuse. However, I have an IOU here, written by your member Ouyang Tian. You don't treat ordinary people like human beings, so what about Ouyang Tian? Do you accept this IOU?"
Lin Yuan took out the IOU and threw it over.
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't take it, letting the note fall to his side. But soon a woman walked over quickly and handed him a bank card.
"This is an anonymous bank card with ten million in it, which settles Ouyang Tian's accounts."
Lin Yuan took the bank card, then looked at the early-stage mini-boss of this mysterious resurrected world, and suddenly laughed, "Chairman Wang, you are more respectable than I imagined."
"As the founder and head of the Xiaoqiang Club, I am naturally responsible for all members."
Wang Xiaoqiang said matter-of-factly, "Now that Ouyang Tian and you are even, our club doesn't owe you anything. Since that's the case, let's settle the score for what you did to Ye Jun and Ye Feng. Zhou Zheng, you can leave now. Don't take my pity for granted. Otherwise, you and Lin Yuan can die here!"
"Chairman Wang, what do you take Zhou Zheng for? You want to kill my friend, kill my brother, and you're even protecting Ye Jun, this criminal! You want me to leave? I don't dare to leave!"
Zhou Zheng gradually straightened his back, then looked at Lin Yuan and said, "I've dragged you into this."
"Your presence here definitely makes me feel constrained," Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.
Zhou Zheng: "..."
Lin Yuan said, "Alright, let me get you out of here first."
"Hmph! You'll have to be able to leave first! All the mirrors and glass here are covered up, how are you going to get out?"
Ye Jun gripped his right hand tightly, his face filled with a cold smile and mockery.
Lin Yuan looked at him with pity, then suddenly said, "Your cleaning staff here does a good job; the floor is even a little reflective."
Ok?
Ye Jun was taken aback, seemingly not understanding what Lin Yuan meant, but Wang Xiaoqiang's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Attack!"
Hands-on?
Very good!
Upon hearing that they could take action, Ye Jun immediately prepared to use his supernatural powers, as did the other ghost-controlling individuals around him.
If their previous attitude towards Lin Yuan was merely due to Wang Xiaoqiang's orders, now, driven by jealousy, they have only one thought:
Kill this food-stealing bastard!
At the same time, several beams of light suddenly shone down from overhead, instantly turning the somewhat dim hall, which had been darkened by the black cloth covering the windows, into a brightly lit space.
These spotlights are all-around, and everyone's shadows disappear without a trace in that instant.
Obviously.
This was also based on the information provided by Ye Jun. As long as the shadow stopped appearing, Lin Yuan could avoid using the shadow as a medium to perform a technique similar to immobilization.
Moreover, everyone maintained a certain distance, not giving Lin Yuan any opportunity to make physical contact.
All roads are blocked!
