Chapter 55: The Return of Fang Tianci's Revenge
Chu Jiang nodded thoughtfully, some of the information he had already learned from supernatural websites, while others were only revealed by the other person.
"Why are you telling me all this? It's our first meeting, right?"
The man in the trench coat smiled, "I still know a fair amount about Fang Tianci. Even in a dangerous situation, he wouldn't just call anyone for help, especially someone very new."
"According to my thoughts, Fang Tianci probably thinks that you won't take initiative to harm him."
"On the other hand, he also believes that you have the ability to help, so he called you over."
"I don't mind becoming friends with capable newcomers like you. After all, as a Ghost Master without any organization backing me up, it's always good to have more friends and options."
Chu Jiang nodded slightly and asked, "I have a question, why don't you become the leader?"
"I can tell that even Deng Chengren, who has Sincerity Company backing him up, is a bit wary of you. If you want to join the research institute, I don't think passing the assessment would be impossible, right?"
The most crucial thing was that Chu Jiang could see that the other person was very rational, without the volatile emotions and mental issues that most Ghost Masters had.
With this particular characteristic, at least the psychological test scores would be high.
The man in the trench coat shook his head and said, "I dislike being bound by various rules. If I were to join the research institute, I would have to stay in one area and lose my freedom."
"And once you're part of such a large organization, it's difficult to keep your secrets. The people above will dissect you completely."
"So, for now, while I can still control the evil spirits inside me, I won't choose to go to the research institute, at least not at this stage."
"Of course, there are many Ghost Masters who share similar thoughts with me."
"When we are finally desperate and choose to seek help from the research institute, the treatment won't be as good anymore."
"After all, at the end of our lives, our value as tools is not high anymore. It would be troublesome for them to save us unless our abilities are truly powerful or extremely rare."
Chu Jiang listened and thought it was normal. There were no free lunches in this world; you had to give something in order to gain something.
Originally, taking advantage of the fact that this Ghost Master was easy to talk to, Chu Jiang wanted to ask about how to suppress the revival of the evil spirits inside him.
But at that moment, a flashing police car sped towards them from a distance and crashed through the roadblock.
However, because the assistants of the person in charge had warned the police officers blocking the road in advance, there were no casualties for the time being. Only the police car, along with the people inside, fiercely rushed into 18th Avenue.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The man in the windbreaker and Chu Jiang had already moved to the side of the road. They could see that the person shouting to move aside was the responsible person named Fang Tianci.
At this moment, the responsible person looked very impatient, as if he couldn't wait to do something. He didn't even have time to get out of the blockade position and instead broke through the guardrail and came over.
This made Chu Jiang feel heavy-hearted.
He had experienced this before, so he knew that feeling very well. It was the feeling of anxiousness, wanting to find something that was lost.
"Wait, why are you coming back?" Chu Jiang shouted, but of course, he didn't run over to stop the car.
Fang Tianci's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "Do you think I wanted to come back?!"
Before he finished speaking, his car had already rushed past and headed straight for the location of the semi-wrecked car.
"Something doesn't seem right," Chu Jiang turned to the man in the windbreaker, "Do you know the killing pattern of the Stretching Ghost?"
The man in the windbreaker nodded. "Fang Tianci is also afraid of dying, and he has told us everything he knows. Seeing him like this, it's highly likely that the ghost forcefully dragged him back. We should go immediately."
......
Chu Jiang and the others arrived to hear Fang Tianci shouting, "Didn't I say it already? I am perfectly normal. I came back this time because of something else!"
"You guys step aside first, and you'll definitely be rewarded afterward."
Seeing this, the man in the trench coat immediately interjected, saying, "Didn't you tell us to stay here and watch? You also said you wanted to stay away as much as possible. What exactly happened that made you have to come back? Explain it clearly."
"Fang Tianci turned and looked at the man in the trench coat, his expression softening a bit."
He took a moment to organize his thoughts and finally said, "I just realized that I actually lost something. It's not because of the Stretching Ghost messing with my thoughts, it's true."
Worried that the others might not believe him, Fang Tianci explained further, "If you don't believe me, ask Chu Jiang, the guy next to you. He has also been affected by the Stretching Ghost. People who are affected have no idea what they have lost."
After organizing his thoughts, he finally said, "I just realized that I actually lost something. It's not that Stretching Ghost affected my thinking, it's really lost."
Worried that no one would believe him, Fang Tianci explained further, "If you don't believe me, ask Chu Jiang, the kid next to you. He was also affected by Stretching Ghost and the affected people don't even know what they have lost."
"But now I am different, I know exactly what I have lost, and once I find it, I'll leave."
So the other three looked at Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang thought for a moment, at first he really didn't know what he had lost, only a strong desire to find it...
But instead of nodding in agreement, he said, "That's not right. Fang Tianci, you should know, you can't come back here for now."
"No matter what you have lost, if you have any sense, you shouldn't be in such a hurry to come back. If you're this desperate, then something must be wrong."
"Why don't you tell us what you have lost, and then we can help you find it."
Chu Jiang thought he had been very polite with his words.
But what Chu Jiang didn't expect was that after he finished his last sentence, Fang Tianci's face had already twisted a bit.
The look in Fang Tianci's eyes towards Chu Jiang carried a hateful gaze, as if saying, "Are you trying to mess with me?"
The other three people were not foolish either, Fang Tianci was acting very strange now.
Although he usually had a quick temper, those who had been with him for a long time knew that he was a clever old fox.
How could it be that Chu Jiang, a newcomer, could understand things that Fang Tianci, an old man, could not comprehend?
At this moment, under Fang Tianci's coat, there were unknown things rolling, they desired blood, meat, bones, everything that could be consumed...
Seeing that the person in charge was about to take action, Deng Chengren took a step back imperceptibly.
He was not foolish, he only came this time to do a favor for the other party. After all, Sincerity Company had a branch in Luozhou City, so it was important to have a good relationship with the person in charge.
But for Deng Chengren to risk his life for the person in charge? That was not necessary.
"Let's calm down a bit first," the man in the windbreaker took a step forward, "Didn't you call us for help?"
"If you were to fight with us now, wouldn't that be a little too absurd? I don't believe you can't understand this reasoning."
As time went on, Fang Tianci couldn't hold back anymore. He said, "I asked for your help, but I didn't ask you to steal my spotlight!"
