Chapter 88 Find a way to get us all infiltrated.
noon.
The White Bone Demon has been greeted by a fishing expert.
"Sit wherever you like." Gu Bai poured him a glass of water.
"I was presumptuous last time; I shouldn't have used such common things."
The fishing expert chuckled, opened his briefcase, and took out a small bottle: "Take a look at this."
"This is?"
Gu Bai had already smelled the blood beads. He opened the package and found six in total. He asked in a low voice, "Where did you get these?"
"It's not a normal place." The fishing expert touched his bald head and tidied his thinning hair. "I've been there a few times, and my hair has grown back a bit."
"Oh?" Gu Bai raised an eyebrow. "What place has such good hair regrowth results?"
"That's not a normal place; it's a blood pool where soaking in it can strengthen your body."
The fishing expert said, "I'm not afraid to admit it, but I used to be incredibly weak. Now I'm full of energy every day."
"Blood Pool? You didn't report this place to the police?" Gu Bai asked in surprise.
"Why report it? Try this stuff and you'll see how good it is."
The fishing expert pointed to the blood beads: "Don't eat them directly. Soak them in water or wine, and drink a sip every day."
Gu Bai put the bottle down and asked, "This gift of yours is quite valuable. Have you run into trouble again?"
"It's just being prepared. That place is definitely not safe. If there's any danger one day, I won't be able to protect myself," the fishing expert said frankly.
He was rich and enjoyed a life of luxury and debauchery, but he was also afraid of dying.
What if Lao Wang and his men get the idea and try to force him? How will he defend himself?
"You want me to find you a bodyguard?" Gu Bai understood.
"That's right, that blood pool, whether you're alone or with several people, it's still just a pool."
The fishing expert laughed and said, "I've already paid, so I can't let it go to waste, right? It's a win-win situation, and I only care about safety."
Gu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "But all the people I know are law enforcement officers. Do you dare bring them along?"
"This..." The fishing expert hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Are there any...not-so-serious security areas?"
"Actually, there's another way," Gu Bai said. "Have you heard of Zhang Qingguan of Wudang Mountain?"
"Of course I've heard. I was originally planning to go to Wudang Mountain, but I haven't had the time lately. And I heard that Zhang Qingguan has already gone down the mountain, but I don't know where he is." The fishing expert looked at him with surprise and asked, "Does my brother know?"
"I have connections and can buy amulets blessed by Zhang Qingguan. They can usually ward off evil spirits," Gu Bai said, taking the opportunity to promote his products.
"How much?"
Gu Bai said, "The standard version costs 10,000, the membership version costs 50,000, and the most expensive one costs 100,000."
The fishing expert frowned: "A talisman blessed by Zhang Qingguan for such a small price? You haven't run into a scammer, have you?"
Gu Bai: "..."
It's my perspective that's too narrow. If that's what you're saying, then there's no limit to how high I can go.
After a moment's thought, Gu Bai held up one finger: "Custom-made, no upper limit."
"A custom-made model?" the fishing expert asked. "How exactly is it customized? How powerful is it?"
"The power depends on the money. I'll call Zhang Qingguan, and you can talk to him in detail?" Gu Bai took out his phone.
"No problem, put it on speakerphone, I'll talk to you," the fishing expert quickly replied.
Gu Bai did dial Zhang Qingguan's number, of course, the phone that the old bastard used, since the old bastard didn't have an ID card.
Doodle
It rang for three minutes before being answered, and Old Turtle's voice came through: "Team building early today?"
"It's that wealthy neighbor who wants to buy a talisman from Master Zhang Qingguan, a custom-made one, preferably with some kind of lethal power," Gu Bai said. "He's right next to me, you can talk to him."
He specifically said that the rich neighbor, Old Turtle, should understand what he meant.
The fishing expert quickly said, "Master Zhang, I want a custom-made one, preferably one that can defeat monsters. I was tortured by a monster last time I encountered one."
Old Wangba said, "Even monsters have varying strengths. What kind of monster did you encounter last time?"
Gu Bai said, "Gu Qingyi went there; it was a feather from a black crow."
Old turtle: "That weakling? Ten thousand yuan, that's the most I can ask for."
Gu Bai: "..."
For a moment I couldn't tell if you didn't understand what I said, or if you were humiliating that newbie.
The fishing expert paused for a moment, then said, "Just make it as powerful as possible. How much do you want for the most?"
Old turtle: "If that's the case, then even a newbie like me could take 300,000."
Fishing expert: "There's one more thing, could you hire a bodyguard? Money is not an issue."
Old Turtle: "Bodyguard? That's fine, but the pay can't be less than 50,000 a month."
Fishing expert: "How's this bodyguard's skill level? I need a tough one, preferably a man."
Old turtle: "The package is similar to Gu Qingyi's."
Fishing expert: "Okay, how do I pay?"
"Just give it to Gu Bai. I'll bring the person and the amulet to you tonight."
After the deal was settled, the fishing expert didn't linger and left after agreeing to meet again that evening.
Gu Bai saw him off and opened the group chat: "No, he's taking people to a place of debauchery. Where are you going to find a male bodyguard?"
Old Wangba invited Chen Youzhi to join the group chat.
White Bone Demon: "..."
Gan!
The head of the public security bureau, did you add him to the group?
Chen Youzhi: "The matter is known. I have passed the undercover approval process and now I, Chen Youzhi, officially join the undercover operation."
Gu Bai: "..."
You guys are pretty good at having fun!
Gu Qingyi: "Gu Bai, has Lao Wang urged you to keep recruiting people?"
Gu Bai: "Not yet, but I can bring people. No, what do you want to do?"
Chen Youzhi invited Li Hongyi, Zhang Yu, Li Qingfeng, and others to join the group chat.
The White Bone Demon fell silent.
Okay, okay, so this is how you guys play, huh?
We were supposed to be a loving family, but who has so many people in their family?
Apart from Xiao Liu and some peripheral members, everyone else got in?
Li Hongyi: "Comrade Gu Bai, I'm giving you an important task: figure out a way to get us all infiltrated as undercover agents."
Gu Bai: "..."
Am I crazy, or are you all crazy?
That bathhouse is so small, how can it fit everyone in?
Gu Qingyi: "Gu Bai, is there any way?"
Gu Bai: "Are you kidding me? That's not a big place at all. How can you fit all of you in there? I can only take two people at most, and my neighbor can take two or three. No more than that."
Li Hongyi: "Then let's discuss five spots."
Gu Bai rubbed his temples. Well, the entire Public Security Bureau went undercover. They're really something.
There was only one public bathhouse.
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of major evil force.
Wait a minute, it seems Zhang Qingguan isn't in this group?
Gu Bai sent a message to Old Wangba, asking why he wasn't there.
Old Wang Ba replied instantly: "Oh, he doesn't know now, he's still locked in his room busy with wood carving."
"What were you thinking, telling them without even telling me?" Gu Bai said.
Old turtle: "There's nothing we can do. Li Hongyi discovered it. She also has a ghost on her. Those two low-level ghosts, they eat so much every day, their auras are different. It would be a problem if she didn't discover it."
"Didn't you come up with a plan? Just some excuse? If you all go in at once, will it be enough to feed us?" Gu Bai questioned.
Let alone adding another one, with so many safe havens already been planted, there's not enough yang energy to go around.
After all, the current security bureau staff are all trained by Zhang Qingguan and know how to cultivate and absorb yang energy; they are not passively immersed in it.
Old turtle: "I'm Li Hongyi. If there's not enough to eat, we can take turns. They can't keep eating all by themselves. By the way, we've actually been monitoring their phones. We only found out today that you've been secretly eating for so long."
Gu Bai: "..."
Well, it seems they've been investigated.
