Chapter 155 There Are a Lot of Interactions in This World
Ah Chao followed Lin Ge towards the listening point and couldn't help but ask: "Master, what is the first session you are talking about?"
Lin Ge forbade Ah Chao to call him "future master", so Ah Chao called him a master. After a case, the identities of the two people as "newcomers" and "veterans" were instantly switched, as if Ah Chao was the newcomer, and Lin Ge Song is the old man responsible for taking care of him.
"There is a department in the mainland called the 'Miscellaneous Section'. They basically do the same work as you, but the equipment is not as cool as yours."
Ah Chao said: "What's the use of having cool equipment? Just take me and you, I was struck by your lightning before I even drew my gun. If you ask me, the magic is much more cool than the equipment. Alas. You said you Coming from the Shangqing sect, why don’t you go back and worship a mountain too?”
"As you please."
Lin Ge and Ah Chao came to the building next door. As soon as they entered the door, Ah Chao blocked his nose with his finger: "Wow, is this an evidence room or a crematorium? Are you so resentful? Master, your nose is sharper than mine. In the meeting You can smell it in the room... Oh, you use 'see', which is really convenient. Is that a spell? Can you teach me how to use it together with rubbing lightning?"
Ah Chao wanted to say that Lin Ge's sense of smell was more sensitive than him, but thinking about the state of his two pupils in each eye, he suddenly realized that Lin Ge had a more convenient way to find ghosts.
Lin Ge sighed: "Ah Chao, you are cool enough, but has anyone told you that cool guys usually talk very little, no more than two words in a sentence."
"It makes sense." Ah Chao nodded in agreement, and then continued to try different ways to ask Lin Ge to teach him spells.
Lin Ge was annoyed and walked quickly towards the evidence room.
When we arrived at the gate, the counter where evidence was originally collected seemed to be under renovation. A table was set up next to the double sliding door, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses was sitting at the table immersed in recording files.
When the middle-aged man heard the footsteps, he looked up at Lin Ge and Ah Chao and said, "The evidence room has been moved to the opposite side. Now it is full of evidence from adult cases. If you have nothing to do, don't come here. ”
"Hello, what's your name?" Lin Ge asked.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lin Ge asked his name, but he still replied: "Chen Zhong, Evidence Department. Anything else?"
Lin Ge said: "Hello, I am Zhao Dezhu from 2002, and this is Inspector You Bangchao. We would like to enter the evidence room to have a look."
"Oh... Chen Zhazhi's department. I asked you why you came to the 'Antique Warehouse'. It turned out to be 2002. Do you really want to go in?" Chen Zhong pushed up his glasses and asked.
Lin Ge nodded.
"There are so many birth dates..." Chen Zhong pinched his fingers and was about to ask the birth date when he slapped his forehead: "I forgot, your department in 2002 was dedicated to dealing with this kind of thing. Sorry, old problem. You go in. , just don’t move things around.”
After saying that, Chen Zhong sat down and continued writing records.
Lin Ge and Ah Chao walked into the evidence room. Ah Chao followed behind and whispered: "I seem to have heard Chen Zhazhi mention that there is a very powerful uncle Zhong in the evidence department. Chen Zhazhi originally wanted to invite him to join. 2002, but was rejected by the other party.”
"Oh? The department's benefits are so good, but he still refuses?" Lin Ge looked around. It was more suitable to call it a warehouse than an evidence room.
At the end of the month, shelves were neatly arranged in a space of dozens of square meters, with various "evidences" placed on them.
Like some murder weapons, daggers, ashtrays, folding stools, or clothes, bloody bandages, ropes, etc.
The weirdest thing is that there is a human head soaked in a bottle.
"Maybe we think our department is more dangerous. After all, we only need to guard things here, and we need to face ghosts directly." Ah Chao looked at the surrounding furnishings and casually answered Lin Ge's question.
"However, here... there is too much resentment. It is indeed the evidence room of an unsolved case. I see that 80% of the evidence is covered with the resentment of the deceased. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it won't take long. This place must be haunted," Ah Chao said.
Lin Ge walked around the evidence room. Although the resentment here was very heavy, there were no resentful souls yet.
However, he didn't have the yellow talisman on him, so there was nothing he could do to help suppress the evil spirit. He could only wait until the next time he came.
"Let's go."
"You're leaving now?" Ah Chao said doubtfully, "I thought you were going to show off your skills, drive away evil spirits, catch ghosts or something."
"Your nose is so good, have you ever smelled ghosts?" Lin Ge asked.
"That's true. But let's remind Uncle Zhong that leaving these things like this is not an option."
The two left the evidence room and when they came out, they saw that Chen Zhong was gone. But it's almost ten o'clock now, so it's not surprising that a department like this, which has basically nothing to do, is leaving.
Walking to the police station gate, Ah Chao asked, "Where do you live? I'll see you off."
"I live nearby. I'll take a stroll. You can leave first." Lin Ge replied.
Ah Chao reminded: "Although you are very powerful, wandering around outside in July and a half is not a good habit. Don't die, otherwise no one will teach me spells."
"Wait a minute." Lin Ge called to Ah Chao who was leaving.
Ah Chao stepped forward in confusion: "Have you finally figured out how to accept me as your apprentice?"
"I forgot my wallet at home. I need to borrow a few thousand yuan to use it."
"Are you serious?" Ah Chao took out his wallet and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
"How much are you willing to borrow?"
Ah Chao glanced at Lin Ge angrily and shook his head: "Well, if it weren't for your ability, I would definitely think you were here to cheat money. I borrowed money on the first day I joined the company, take it, lend it to you 5000, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pay it back, just remember to teach me the magic.”
Lin Ge:......
He was completely convinced by Ah Chao and kept saying "teach me magic".
"Thanks."
In the past, when he had a black card, Lin Ge often complained about the small amount of money he could exchange. Now that he doesn't have a black card, he realizes that small amounts are money.
Otherwise, we would be like now, having to borrow money to even find a place to live.
Of course, with the ability of reincarnators, there are many ways to get money. As long as you are not afraid of surprises from the Lord God, you can go to the bank to "borrow".
Ah Chao advised Lin Ge not to wander around in July and a half, but Lin Ge took a fancy to July and a half and planned to walk around.
Although the current identity reincarnation point is of little use, it does not affect him from using the reincarnation points to acquire scrolls from other reincarnations.
Lin Ge originally thought that he would encounter a "branch" in the evidence room, but he didn't expect that there were many things, but there was no "reaction" to them.
In desperation, he could only focus on the necklace he obtained from Officer Deng: "I don't know if your territory is too small. Either you run towards Taiwan Island or Hong Kong Island. The title of the Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas is ...I think most of them are evil spirits, evil gods?"
Lin Ge walked all the way to the intersection when he suddenly smelled a vague, very faint "demon energy".
He frowned slightly, put away the necklace, raised his hand and wiped it across his eyes, opened his eyes and looked up at the crowd in front of the zebra crossing.
It was a red light at this time, and a large group of people were "crowded" on the zebra crossing.
The front man, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, less than 1.5 meters tall and holding a folded black umbrella, caught Lin Ge's attention.
The demonic aura emanates from this person, but the strange thing is that there is only demonic aura but no evil aura, which means that this demon has not harmed anyone.
After all, Lin Ge was not Fa Hai, who would give in to monsters when he saw them, and it was outrageous to ruin the centuries-old Taoist saying of others: "We will meet again in the future and we will fly side by side."
Lin Ge walked behind the middle-aged man, thinking that there were so many monsters and ghosts in the world of 2002. An antique warehouse full of evidence of grievances, and a monster that had been practicing for at least a hundred years, was walking arrogantly on the street.
At this time, a fat aunt in red squeezed out from behind Lin Ge. While squeezing, she complained: "Give me, give me. I don't know what I'm doing here. This traffic light is unreasonable. It has been set up for so long." , are you waiting for someone to die?"
As she said that, the aunt looked impatient and walked forward, ignoring the red light. Unknown to her, a double-decker bus was approaching quickly from the right.
Lin Ge thought he could spot the "flying pig", but he saw the middle-aged man holding the black umbrella quickly stepped forward and "hooked" the aunt back with the umbrella handle.
The double-decker bus honked its horn and drove quickly across the zebra crossing.
After the aunt was pulled back, not only did she not thank her, but she slapped open the middle-aged man's umbrella and said, "Damn it, you bitch, use this umbrella to seduce me."
The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't expect to be scolded for doing good deeds. He said helplessly: "I thought you were blinded by a ghost, grandma. That bus just hit you. If I didn't help you, you would be dead now." .”
"Why do you, a grown man, do so many things? Do I need you to save me? I don't care what you look like. You have a sinister look and a dog-like appearance. You still save people?" The aunt cursed and walked towards the other side of the road.
"Sigh. In today's world, it's really hard to be a good person."
The middle-aged man sighed, took out a folding knife from his pocket, and slashed the wooden handle of the black umbrella.
The handle of his umbrella was densely covered with scratches, giving the impression that the outer skin of the wooden handle was about to be peeled off.
"It is indeed difficult to be a good person, but as long as you save others and selectively screen them, it is not that difficult." Lin Ge said behind the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked back at Lin Ge and said with a smile: "That's true. But everyone in the world is in trouble. Helping if you can is also a kind of practice."
Lin Ge looked at the middle-aged man's black umbrella: "So, uncle, you must have been practicing for a long time?"
The middle-aged man took a sniff and said, "Could he be from the same camp?"
"So be it."
"But I smell a heavy evil spirit on you. Young man, please listen to my advice. It is not easy for us to practice cultivation, and it is even more difficult if we are contaminated with evil spirits. My name is He Shan, and I have been here in Hong Kong for a long time. If you need any help, you can come to me." After saying that, the middle-aged man handed Lin Ge a business card.
Lin Ge took it and took a look. It said "He Shan" on it, with a series of phone numbers printed under his name. His "job" was to be a dispute mediator.
Black Umbrella smelled the resentment and evil spirit in Lin Ge, and seeing that he was in "human form", he thought that he was a monster who corrected the path like himself, and he was trying to persuade him. After all, cultivating demons is not easy, and if you make one wrong step, you will be doomed.
Lin Ge said: "I just came to Hong Kong Island not long ago and haven't found a suitable place yet. But I don't have much money with me. Do you have any recommendations for good and cheap places?"
"The apartment I live in is pretty good. It's in a good location, has all the facilities, and the price is not expensive, 6,800 a month." He Shan recommended.
"In a place like Hong Kong Island where land is at a premium, it seems to be not too expensive. But unfortunately, I only have 5,000 and can't afford to rent." Lin Ge said regretfully.
He Shan looked troubled, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I'm a fellow-minded person, I'll lend you these 1,800. You can pay me back when you have money."
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Well, it's not easy to cultivate as a demon. It's not easy to meet a 'comatriot'. How can we be happy if we don't help each other?"
Lin Ge felt a little funny. The chance of meeting a "good monster" was lower than winning the lottery, and this was a good monster who was always doing good things.
"Thank you very much."
He Shan waved his hand: "We are all our own people, don't be polite. Let's go, let's take the minibus ahead to Mong Kok Station."
The two came to the roadside. He Shan stopped the minibus with his hand, got on and sat in the last row, and chatted with Lin Ge about spiritual practice.
Through conversation, Lin Ge learned that He Shan's true form was the black umbrella in his hand, and the "black umbrella" represented bad luck and bad omen. It was not easy to transform, and it was even harder to get rid of the demon body. He has been practicing for 129 years. As long as he does three more good deeds, his merits will be complete.
Lin Ge reminded: "You just helped me, doesn't it count as one time?"
"Sigh. My method is very strict. I can only help people, not ghosts or demons. Otherwise, my merits would have been fulfilled long ago." He Shan sighed.
Lin Ge said: "Then you can make a note of it. I am a human being, not a demon or a ghost. I just have a ghost on me, so you misunderstood me."
"Really?" He Shan sniffed again, looked carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Ghost energy, evil spirit... I didn't realize that you are actually a Taoist priest! Could it be that I didn't realize it just now?" If I lend you money, you can just accept it from me, right?"
"No, I'm not Fahai."
"Haha, that's true." He Shan smiled, took out a knife and slashed the umbrella handle.
He Shan kept telling Lin Ge about his experiences in the past hundred years, lamenting that people are really worse than ghosts now.
Not as good as a ghost, and more difficult to deal with than a ghost.
"Sigh. I don't know when one day, humans and ghosts will be completely exchanged. I am neither human nor ghost, so don't end up being lonely." He Shan sighed.
Lin Ge advised: "As long as you stick to your bottom line, there is no difference between being a human or a ghost. You are going to succeed soon, so why bother thinking so much."
Having said that, Lin Ge knew that cultivating demons was not easy. No matter what method He Shan used, there would definitely be a big hurdle in the end.
Most of the demon cultivators fell on the threshold.
He Shan was talking enthusiastically when he suddenly heard the driver shout: "Hey, you two, we've arrived at the station. Why don't you change places to chat?"
He Shan was stunned for a moment: "Arrived at the station? Which station are you going to?"
The driver took out a bottle of mineral water and took a sip. He turned sideways and looked at the two of them and said, "We've arrived at the terminal."
"Terminal? Isn't it Mong Kok?" He Shan asked.
The driver smiled and said, "It's been a long time. Are you two having a good time chatting? You don't even know if you've sat or stood."
He Shan was really having a good time chatting. After all, he was so angry every day for doing good deeds. It was rare to meet someone he could talk to, so he didn't pay attention to the situation outside at all.
Lin Ge, on the other hand, was not familiar with Hong Kong Island and was a loyal listener. He tried to find some hidden subplots in He Shan, but he also didn't pay much attention.
"Oh. I have to sit back, Xiao Zhao, let's go." He Shan stood up and just walked to the car door when a man wearing a denim shirt and a peaked cap suddenly rushed up, pointing a utility knife at everyone, and said viciously roared:
"Robbery, take out all the money!"
Lin Ge: ...I sent away a utility knife girl before, and now I have a utility knife brother, right?
No, you took a utility knife to rob, who are you insulting?
"Child, you are so good at robbing people?" He Shan said helplessly: "Quickly put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."
When the young man saw that the three of them were not afraid of him, he gritted his teeth and ran away. But in less than ten seconds, he jumped back and swiped the three people with a utility knife: "You guys are rushing to the street. I tell you to die. Get down, get down!"
The driver asked with a smile: "Then you should make it clear whether you want to die or lie down."
He Shan echoed: "Yes, lying down and dying are two different things."
Lin Ge: ...You two, although the other person is holding a utility knife, you seem to be disrespecting his profession.
"Maybe he told us to lie down and die?" Lin Ge added.
The young man felt that he was insulted. He made a few gestures with the utility knife and shouted: "Anyway, take out the money immediately, take out all the money, hurry up."
"Okay, okay, I know you are very powerful, take it." The driver took a piece of money from the cash box and handed it over.
"What can you buy for ten dollars? Do you think I'm pretending? Believe it or not, I'll chop off your head and cut off your hand."
"letter."
"letter."
"letter."
The three of them nodded at the same time, with indifferent expressions on their faces.
"Take the money, take it!" The young man was really angry.
The driver took out a hammer and a wrench and knocked on them: "Which one do you like? Think about it carefully."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and He Shan took advantage of this moment to knock the utility knife out of his hand with an umbrella. As soon as the knife fell to the ground, Lin Ge stepped on it.
The three of them looked at the young man at the same time. He Shan joked: "You can't even hold the knife and you want to rob? Come on, kid!"
The young man retreated out of the car door and cursed fiercely: "Remember! All three of you are going to die. I'll call more than a hundred people to hack you to death. Don't go. Don't go!"
As he spoke, he ran away.
He Shan looked at Lin Ge and said with a smile: "He will call more than a hundred people to hack us to death."
"With so many people following him, there is no need to rob us." The driver said disdainfully: "There are too many young people like this nowadays. They don't want to do serious things, so they think of evil ways."
"That's true." He Shan nodded.
The driver smiled and said: "You are all very brave. After all, that young man took the knife and danced it wildly. The scratches will be uncomfortable."
"Oh, think of it as a good deed. It's hard to do good deeds. Just help someone if you can." He Shan replied.
The driver smiled and said: "Then I will also do a good deed and take you back to Mong Kok."
"Thank you, good intentions are rewarded." He Shan smiled.
"Sit tight."
Lin Ge sat back and looked at the direction the young man left, feeling that the alley seemed familiar.
As the minibus drove all the way back to Mong Kok, Lin Ge was listening to He Shan's story about the past when he suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead.
He remembered where the alley led to—
St Edena Girls' High School!
