Chapter 279 The Rooftop Ghost and Human Game
Although type O blood is known as a universal blood type, it actually has many limitations. For example, when type O blood is transfused to type A blood, the plasma needs to be disposed of. This is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Transfusions between people with the same blood type are relatively safe and secure.

As time passed, half a month went by.

Huang Yaozu's demeanor was completely different from when they first met; he was now ruddy-faced and full of energy. For safety's sake, he had replaced the liquor in the flask with medicinal wine containing various potent drugs. When someone inquired about the situation, especially a ghost like Liu Chenggang, Huang Yaozu would twist open the bottle cap, take a swig in front of them, and then let them smell the aroma.

The medicinal wines all tasted awful, and Liu Chenggang, who loved sweets, almost fainted from the smell.

Li Xuan personally taught Huang Yaozu how to cultivate, and he began to grasp the basics. Although there was no spiritual energy to absorb, the blood pill contained magical power. He relied on this magical power to forcibly refine his soul and increase its strength in the hope of resisting the possession of ghosts.

During these days, they pursued three paths simultaneously, raising money to build a temple on a mountain in the New Territories.

Li Xuan used lightning magic to refine a batch of commonly used metal items, including watches, rings, and batons with metal tips, which could be used flexibly when testing ghosts.

He only had one million in his mission fund card, plus Huang Yaozu's savings, which was barely enough to build two temples.

It just so happens that Dongyue Temple and Fengdu Temple are both nearby.

Li Xuan and Huang Yaozu were prepared for their efforts to come to nothing, since building a temple was merely a speculative and unconfirmed method.

The density of ghosts on Hong Kong Island doesn't seem to be high. During his time in the miscellaneous affairs department, Li Xuan only saw Huang Yaozu receive a case that seemed to involve supernatural forces, but it was just the sound of wind blowing through pipes.

At the police station, Deputy Commissioner of Police Lau Shing-kong was sitting in his office, enjoying a steak with a knife and fork, when a knock came at the door. He frowned slightly and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and two police inspectors entered. They stood in front of the office desk and placed a report on it. The older one said, "Recently, the probability of ghosts appearing in the community has increased by three points. Shouldn't we have the cleaning department handle this to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chenggang put down his knife and fork, picked up the report, and began to read it.

The two police inspectors had no expression on their faces, and when they talked about ghosts, it was as if it were an everyday occurrence.

They had already established themselves in Hong Kong Island with Liu Chenggang in the very early days. In order to survive in the long term, they must cooperate closely, increase cohesion, and at the same time prevent the abnormal increase of new ghosts.

The report was crumpled up, and Liu Chenggang's eyes betrayed no emotion. He said, "The economic market has been very bad lately. Citizens aren't making money, and they're under pressure. Many are going to the neighboring island to bet on horses, spending their entire fortunes in the hopes of changing their fate! Unfortunately, fate isn't so easily changed..."

These unfortunate souls couldn't withstand the double blow of debt and economic hardship; some jumped off buildings, some took medication, and some drowned themselves in the sea. As their numbers increased, the number of ghosts appearing in the wild naturally rose as well.

He laughed and said, "Okay, I'll notify the miscellaneous affairs department to handle it later. You need to compile a list of the incident location and any unusual circumstances for me so that he can be fully prepared."

Huang Yaozu is a very responsible person. I've used him for over ten years, and I don't want him to become useless so soon.

The two police inspectors nodded, turned around, and walked out.

A moment later, another department delivered materials, saying, "This is information from Kowloon and the New Territories. The number of wandering ghosts born in these two areas has surged in the last three months..."

Liu Cheng waved his hand to send him away.

He picked up the phone on the table, dialed the miscellaneous affairs department number, and said, "Have Yaozu come to my office."

Half an hour later, Huang Yaozu knocked on the door and came in, smiling as usual, and asked, "Is my resignation letter approved?"

Liu Chenggang was speechless and said irritably, "Yaozu, I've been good to you. If you just persevere, there's room for advancement. Why are you in such a hurry to resign?" Huang Yaozu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I've already told you. I'm planning to get back together with my ex-wife and then travel the world to see different scenery."

Liu Chenggang pushed the report on the table over and said, "These are the recent police reports, which are very consistent with ghostly disturbances. You should deal with it as soon as possible and be careful."

Huang Yaozu silently picked up the report and turned to leave.

Liu Chenggang thought for a moment and said, "Yaozu, I know you want to return to a normal life, but you also know that the world is not as simple as ordinary citizens see it."

Hong Kong Island has such a small population, yet it breeds ghosts every year. If you leave Hong Kong Island, you'll be facing billions of people. A ghost might take your life at any moment. Don't go out. Listen to me, stay here. I'll protect you..."

His tone was somewhat helpless.

Huang Yaozu held up the report in his hand, smiled and said, "Sir, I'm almost forty years old. I've been working hard for almost twenty years, from a small police officer to the head of the miscellaneous affairs section! And I only have a little savings. It's useless. Ghosts can't be completely eliminated... As long as there are people in this world, there will never be no ghosts. Sometimes I think, is becoming a ghost the correct evolutionary path for mankind?"

Liu Chenggang's eyes twitched slightly, and he put the fork he had just picked up back into the plate.

He looked at Huang Yaozu and said, "Yaozu, could you come up to the rooftop with me for a walk and a chat?"

Huang Yaozu detected a hint of sincerity in his words.

"it is good."

The two men left the office, walked out of the police station, and went to the rooftop of a nearby department store building.

The wind was strong, making their clothes flutter loudly.

Huang Yaozu laughed and said, "Sir, you don't need to come all this way to say something."

Liu Chenggang, his hands gripping the railing, gazed at the distant city scenery, his thoughts lost in memories. He said, "Yaozu, you've been in the miscellaneous affairs department for over a decade. You have a wealth of experience in killing ghosts. Haven't you ever for a moment suspected that your superior was a ghost?"

Huang Yaozu's heart clenched instantly, and an awkward smile appeared on his face: "You set up the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, which is also aimed at ghosts. It's too absurd for ghosts to build such a department to kill ghosts."

Liu Chenggang interrupted him directly: "I am indeed a ghost."

Huang Yaozu's smile froze on his face.

He hadn't expected that Liu Chenggang would come up to the rooftop to play a game of truth. In that short moment, he reviewed his recent behavior, making sure he hadn't let anything slip. How could he have been exposed?

Whoosh!
Huang Yaozu pulled out his Black Star pistol, released the safety, and aimed it at Liu Chenggang's forehead.

Liu Cheng glanced at the dark muzzle of the gun, seemingly unconcerned. He said, "Becoming a ghost is a very painful thing. At first, you'll think you're invincible, that you can do whatever you want! You can steal someone's life at will just by making physical contact..."

This feeling is indeed wonderful, but... this is ultimately not my real life. Becoming a ghost, unless the truth is revealed to the whole world, means that no matter how long I live, I'm always playing someone else's job, someone else's life…
