Chapter 466 The Bizarre Sandstorm! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Woo-li~ woo-li~ woo-li~"

The piercing sound of horns echoed throughout the city.

Police cars with red and blue flashing lights drove through the streets and alleys of Hangzhou.

Jiangbei Villa is the most expensive residential complex in Hangzhou.

"Stop, stop!"

"You're breaking the law! Let me go! Help! Someone, murder!!!"

In a neighborhood where even takeout is usually delivered by the property management, hundreds of angry residents suddenly stormed in.

A middle-aged man with a receding hairline was carried downstairs by several burly men.

"My God! Is this murder? What on earth is going on?"

"Where's the property management company? Why isn't anyone doing anything about it!"

"Manage? Who's so reckless as to dare to manage? Do you even know who that person is? A high-ranking executive at the water company."

"Hiss! It's that one from recently? That definitely deserves it!"

"."

The onlookers whispered among themselves; some felt it was wrong and that the law should be the judge, while others were simply enjoying the spectacle.

So, surrounded by onlookers, the executive had his mouth stuffed with a foul-smelling paste.

"Oh~yue~"

"It stinks! It's disgusting!"

Just watching them made the onlookers gag.

Not to mention the executive who experienced it firsthand, who was so choked up that his eyes rolled back.

"Help! Help me! Yue~"

"This has nothing to do with my period! It's all the fault of the people down there for neglecting their duties."

The executive struggled and begged for mercy, but only received more of the paste-like substance in return.

Some people even brought several dogs and started pooping in front of him.

"No way?"

Amid the executives' horrified gazes, someone picked up several clumps of fresh ingredients, dropped them to the ground, and walked towards him.

"No! No! No~~~"

"what"

Thousands of meters above the ground, Mu Sheng looked down at the scene below and could hardly bear to look at it.

"Ugh! That's disgusting!"

Mu Sheng quickly looked away, casting his gaze elsewhere.

"Holy crap, this is even more ruthless; they're actually preparing their own ingredients!"

"Hey! Using it as a toilet is going a bit too far!"

"And this area is almost completely buried. Aren't you afraid of crushing people to death?"

"Goodness, is this some kind of cosplay of the Five Elements Mountain?"

Looking at the natural fertilizer pile that resembled a small mountain, Mu Sheng gained a new understanding of the supernatural power of the wrathful ghost.

"This scene reminds me of an old friend."

Mu Sheng recalled Emperor Li Yunqian, whom he had sealed in a fertilizer pool in the world of Joy of Life.

"Oh no, the smell is coming up! Let's get out of here!"

Mu Sheng sniffed, sensing something was wrong, and vanished instantly in a flash of golden light.

He, the instigator, can run away now, but those troublesome old men can't escape.

Fortunately, after Mu Sheng, the source of pollution, left, the people who were consumed by anger gradually regained their senses and dispersed one by one.

The following day, Hangzhou City issued an emergency announcement stating that the water pollution incident was purely a rumor.

The yellow substance in residents' drinking water is not feces, but rather a sulfur-containing substance produced by the degradation of algae by liquid oxygen bacteria.

"So that's how it is," the citizens suddenly realized, and their anger at being treated like a fool subsided with guilt, and the city returned to its usual tranquility.

Right, that is it!

Mu Sheng didn't know what happened after he left, nor did he care.

He simply wandered from city to city, constantly testing the supernatural abilities of the wrathful demon.

On a congested section of road in a coastal city.

"Do you even know who I am? Who the hell do you think you are, lecturing me like that?"

"So what if I drive against traffic? You believe I could run you over and kill you and not go to jail!"

A wealthy woman, going against the flow, pointed at the people around her and started cursing. Not satisfied with that, she even swung her fists and started punching the people around her.

"Damn it! They made a mistake and still dared to hit someone! This is utterly lawless!"

"I don't care who you are, even if you're a Celestial Dragon, I'm going to beat you to death today!"

A burly man watching grew increasingly angry, his fury surging within him. He grabbed a spatula from the trunk and swung it at the wealthy woman.

"Hey! What are you doing? Trying to get yourself arrested?"

A man in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the lady's path.

While stopping the burly man from wielding the spatula, the noblewoman allowed him to scratch the man's cheek with her fingernails.

This action ignited the anger of those around him, who rolled up their sleeves and stepped in to support the man.

"Stop! What are you trying to do, rebel? Stop it all!"

The man in black panicked and shouted, but it had no effect.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"The Qing Dynasty is over, yet you two still dare to act arrogantly towards us!"

"Kill you!"

"what"

A dozen minutes later, the crowd dispersed, leaving behind two unrecognizable bodies.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Easy to beat!"

Mu Sheng cheered from the sky, then planned to go to the next city.

Sudden.

Mu Sheng sensed something and looked up towards the northwest.

"what?"

Da'an City, Xinjiang District Airport.

"Professor Su, welcome to this International Academic Symposium for Young Scholars."

At the airport exit, Sun Siyuan, a professor at the Anhui University School of Cultural Heritage, grabbed Su Yongkang's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Professor Sun, you are too kind. It is my honor to participate in this seminar. I would also like to thank Professor Sun for taking the time to host us."

Su Yongkang said with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Yongkang and his two graduate students, led by Sun Siyuan, headed towards the airport.

After leaving the airport, the group got into a car that Sun Siyuan had prepared in advance and drove towards the city.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of a hotel next to Anhui University.

"Professor Su, I'll take you to check in. You can rest at the hotel for a while, and I'll take you around Anhui University tonight."

"Then I'll have to trouble Professor Sun."

Su Yongkang nodded. He was indeed a little tired after four or five hours of travel since they boarded the plane.

Upon entering the hotel, Su Yongkang was immediately drawn to the terracotta warriors in the hotel lobby.

These are several terracotta soldiers standing at attention with guns, but Su Yongkang could tell at a glance that they were fake, since how could real ones be so lifelike?

Sun Siyuan, who had just finished checking in, noticed Su Yongkang's gaze and said with a smile:

"Professor Su, are you interested in the Terracotta Warriors? Then after the seminar, I'll have someone take you sightseeing in Da'an City for a few days."

"Hehehe!"

Su Yongkang smiled and waved his hand: "No need for that. I'm just curious. This doesn't look like a themed hotel, so why are there a few terracotta warriors here?"

Is it a specialty of Da'an City?

When Su Yongkang asked him this, Sun Siyuan shook his head: "I don't know. It wasn't here when I came a while ago. Maybe the hotel is having some kind of event!"

After stating his guess, Sun Siyuan didn't think much of it and handed several room cards to Su Yongkang and the other two: "The rooms are on the third floor. Professor Su's is 301, and the two students' is 302."

After the three accepted the room keys, Sun Siyuan said goodbye, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Please get some rest, and I'll come back to pick you up for dinner."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Professor Sun!"

"You're welcome!"

After watching Sun Siyuan leave the hotel, Su Yongkang led the two students toward the elevator.

"It has to be our Boss Su! When he comes out for exchanges, professors come to pick him up at the airport. That's some serious prestige!"

Jin Ming, a third-year graduate student, pulled his suitcase and followed beside Su Yongkang, looking quite proud.

"What kind of prestige do I have?" Su Yongkang shook his head with a smile and said, "Professor Sun is only doing this because of my teacher, your grandmaster."

"And another thing!" Su Yongkang suddenly said sternly, "You two traitors better behave yourselves. This symposium is international. If you dare to embarrass yourselves on the international stage..."

"You two will be in for a world of hurt when we get back!"

"Don't worry, boss, I'll keep an eye on Senior Brother Jin and make sure he doesn't embarrass you!"

Li Yelei, a first-year graduate student, immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Snapped!"

Jin Ming raised his hand and slapped Li Yelei: "You still have the nerve to say that? Last time, you were the one who ate all the fruit platter meant for the guests."

At the later banquet, people complimented your good appetite, and you were still acting all shy and embarrassed. Did you really think they were praising you?

After reprimanding his junior apprentice, Jin Ming smiled at Su Yongkang and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'll keep a close eye on Ye Lei this time and make sure he doesn't embarrass himself in public."

"Who embarrassed themselves? Senior, why don't you mention that senior from Beijing Institute of Technology from the time before last?"

Li Yelei rubbed the back of his head and retorted defiantly.

However, before he could finish speaking, Jin Ming, embarrassed and annoyed, covered his mouth.

Seeing the two of them start fooling around in public, William So looked helpless.

Alright, alright, let's try not to assign them any tasks at the seminar and let them have their fun in Da'an City.

Su Yongkang made a decision in secret.

"Ding!"

The elevator has arrived.

After calming himself down, Su Yongkang took his two treacherous disciples upstairs to rest.

During dinner, Sun Siyuan took the three of them out for a meal, and Su Yongkang and the others did not return to the hotel until 10 p.m.

Because he had drunk quite a bit at the dinner table, Su Yongkang fell asleep on the bed as soon as he returned to his room.

It wasn't until 2 a.m.

Extreme thirst roused Su Yongkang from his drunken stupor.

"Gululu~"

After downing two bottles of mineral water, Su Yongkang still felt somewhat thirsty.

There were only two bottles of water provided in the hotel room, so Su Yongkang had no choice but to go out and buy some.

After taking his phone and room key, Su Yongkang pushed open the door and walked out.

The corridor was empty.

Su Yongkang stepped onto the red carpet and walked towards the elevator.

Perhaps because he wasn't fully sober, William So felt lightheaded as he stepped onto the soft carpet.

Upon arriving at the elevator lobby, William So pressed the elevator button and then stood quietly waiting for the elevator to arrive.

On either side of the elevator are two terracotta warriors, as if they are guarding the elevator.

"Huh? Were there terracotta warriors here when I came this afternoon?"

Su Yongkang asked with some doubt, carefully recalling the scene at that time, sometimes remembering it and sometimes thinking he seemed to remember it.

"No, I can't drink like this anymore. It's making my head spin!"

Su Yongkang shook his head vigorously, and just then the elevator arrived, so he stopped worrying about it.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors slowly closed again.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~
A faint sound of clay rubbing together suddenly rang out in the elevator lobby.

The two terracotta warriors guarding the elevator entrance shook off a lot of dirt, which scattered on the ground.

A few minutes later, the elevator doors opened again, and Su Yongkang walked out, stepping on the muddy ground as he returned to his room.

A series of footprints were left in the corridor.

"Take a shower before you go to sleep!"

He hadn't taken off his clothes while sleeping, and the sweat and oil secreted by his skin made him feel very uncomfortable.

After taking off his clothes, Su Yongkang took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of rushing water could be heard from inside.

"Woo~"

"Zizzizi~"

Outside the room, the lights in the hallway flickered.

"Crack!"

A light near the elevator entrance suddenly went out.

"Crack!"

A few seconds later, another light went out.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Every few seconds thereafter, one light would go out, extending all the way out of Su Yongkang's room.

It seems like something is walking towards us step by step.

"Huwu~"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the mud and footprints on the ground were swept onto the door.

"Zizi~"

The lights in Su Yongkang's room also began to flicker.

The thing outside came in.

"Zizi~"

While taking a shower in the bathroom, Su Yongkang noticed that the light above his head had started flickering.

"What's going on? Is the voltage unstable?"

As Su Yongkang lathered himself with foam, he looked up at the electric light above him.

It seems they wanted to see what was going on.

What he didn't notice was that a muddy handprint had appeared on the glass door of the bathroom at some point.

"Hiss~ Why is the water suddenly cold!"

Su Yongkang was jolted awake. Forgetting about the light bulb, he quickly turned the water valve towards the hot water.

After waiting a while and it still didn't work, I turned the water valve off and then back on.

Our gas water heater used to have the same problem; it would stop heating up after a while, and we had to turn it off and on again.

"its not right!"

"The hotel's water heater is electric, how could there be such a problem?"

Su Yongkang suddenly realized what was going on, and just as he was wondering what was happening.

The bathroom lights suddenly blazed on, and a stream of steaming hot water sprayed out from the showerhead.

"Oh, it's so hot!"

Su Yongkang, disregarding his doubts, hurriedly switched the water valve to the cold water position, thus avoiding being scalded like a red-skinned suckling pig.

A few minutes later, William So emerged from the bathroom wearing his pajamas.

"This hotel looks high-end, but the customer experience is terrible!"

Su Yongkang complained, "Taking a bath is like experiencing both ice and fire."

After tossing and turning between hot and cold for half a day, Su Yongkang's sleepiness was almost gone.

Arriving at the bedside, Su Yongkang pulled out a small Bagua amulet from a pile of clothes, tucked it under his pillow, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

However, what Su Yongkang didn't notice was that the gold on the back of the Bagua mirror had dimmed slightly.

There were some mud stains on the carpet at the bathroom entrance, I don't know when.

In the hallway outside the room, the lights that had been turned off came back on, and the footprints on the red carpet disappeared.

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Su Yongkang led Jin Ming and Li Yelei to the multi-functional conference room in the main teaching building of Anhui University.

The International Symposium for Young Scholars is being held here.

That's right, at his age, William So is still considered a young man.

In national scientific research projects, scholars under the age of 45 are considered young people.

The seminar officially began at 9:30.

Su Yongkang gave his two traitors a few instructions and then focused his attention on the meeting.

While the seminar was in full swing, outside the teaching building on the Anhui University campus...

A sandstorm, seemingly from nowhere, blanketed the entire campus in a yellowish-brown hue.

It's not just the Anhui University campus; if you look at it from a higher perspective, you'll find that the entire sky above Da'an City is filled with flying sand and dust.
