Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

“Master, these are the helpers I mentioned to you yesterday, Ah Feng who has the ability to see ghosts and her son Xiao Bai.”

"Sister Feng, Xiao Bai, this is my master, Zhong Fabai."

Ah Feng and Xiao Bai both changed into new clothes. The mother looked beautiful and the son looked handsome, but they hadn't left the dilapidated building for many years, so they were quite reserved when facing Zhong Fa Bai.

Zhong Fabai understood the situation of the mother and son. He looked serious, but he was actually quite kind-hearted. He quickly invited Ah Feng and her son to the second floor and asked them to put their luggage in the guest room.

That will be where the mother and son will live from now on.

The general store was decorated in a rather simple manner.

Zhong Fabai and Afeng discussed going to buy some decorations in the afternoon to tidy up the general store.

Lin Xuan did not participate in these trivial matters.

He spent the morning with Xiaobai, easing Xiaobai's anxiety, before preparing to head to GGT.

There's no rush to get Zhong Fabai to take Xiaobai as his disciple; right now, the most important thing for Lin Xuan is to accumulate merit points.

If he were to search for evil spirits and monsters all by himself, it would be too time-consuming, while GGT would definitely have many missions.

……

GGT, Headquarters Building, Second Floor, Mission Department.

Lin Xuan showed his identification and then asked to see the recent strange events.

As a geomancer, Lin Xuan can naturally accept any mission.

When making his selection, Lin Xuan specifically told the clerk that he didn't need to tell him about anything below the level of a fierce ghost.

He only accepts missions involving powerful ghosts or more.

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away," the clerk said respectfully.

GGT still has too few people, and there are a lot of backlogged tasks, especially those involving vengeful ghosts and above, which are much more dangerous and few people dare to take them on. They are only dealt with when geomancers have free time.

Soon, a pile of files was brought out.

"Instructor Lin, these are all accumulated ghost stories. However, due to unclear information, there may be a ghost king among them. Please choose carefully."

Geomancers can deal with ordinary ghost kings, but against high-level ghost kings and certain special ghost kings, even geomancers may be defeated.

"Okay, I'll be careful." Lin Xuan nodded and began to examine the case.

The first document concerns the Huangshan Village incident, which is suspected to be caused by a high-level vengeful ghost. Three people involved have been killed or injured so far.

Following that were the Yin-Yang Road incident, the Ouija board incident, the Thai Bones and Women incident, and so on.

As Lin Xuan flipped through the case files, he was shocked.

Many of these incidents were from horror movies he had seen, and he knew some of them even better than the records in the files.

"I'll take all of these assignments!"

Lin Xuan selected ten tasks and accepted them all at once.

All ten missions are movie events, and the ghosts in them aren't particularly powerful.

Lin Xuan planned to capture them all first, and then either eliminate them or send them to the afterlife.

This way, you can earn money from GGT and gain merit points at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

With money, even a small general store can be nicely renovated.

Lin Xuan also plans to purchase and invest in some high-potential, promising assets in advance, so that he can not only easily gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island, but may even become a famous tycoon.

"You accepted all of these tasks?! That's ten tasks!" The clerk exclaimed in astonishment.

Since GGT was founded, ghost cases have always been completed one by one. No one has ever taken on ten cases at once like Lin Xuan!

"I can't make this decision myself. I'll go and ask my superiors. Instructor Lin, please wait a moment."

Lin Xuan, with his Earth Master level strength, could easily handle these ten missions, but taking on ten missions at once was unprecedented, and the clerk dared not make the decision on his own.

Not long after, Jiang Tianji, who happened to be staying in the GGT building, came down from upstairs.

Jiang Tianji was quite surprised to hear that Lin Xuan had accepted ten missions at once.

"Instructor Lin, completing the mission is important, but don't neglect your training."

"These tasks can actually be assigned to some senior staff who have free time. Our most important task as geomancers is to deal with the Ghost King!"

Most of GGT's senior staff are at the eighth or even ninth level of the Human Master realm. Dealing with vengeful ghosts is somewhat dangerous, but not very dangerous.

As for the Ghost King, only a geomancer can deal with him.

For someone at the Master level, the risk of dealing with a Ghost King, even the weakest one, is immense; they might just be throwing their life away.

Only disciples of prestigious sects are exceptions.

Jiang Tianji didn't want Lin Xuan to delay his cultivation because of these ghost-level missions, lest Lin Xuan get into trouble because of his inferior strength when a ghost king or even more powerful ghost appears.

Lin Xuan understood Jiang Tianji's thoughts.

Lin Xuan nodded and explained, "I haven't been a Geomancer for long and haven't experienced many ghost-catching incidents, so I plan to do more missions to train myself without delaying my cultivation."

He can't exactly say that he has a system that allows him to become stronger by killing ghosts, can he?

Lin Xuan's reasoning was quite valid. Jiang Tianji thought about it and realized that Lin Xuan was indeed young and needed more experience.

Moreover, allowing ghosts to continue committing evil and killing is not in Jiang Tianji's nature, so it's better that Lin Xuan is willing to help.

Naturally, no one would stop Lin Xuan from accepting all ten missions.

"By the way, Instructor Jiang, you don't need to call me Instructor Lin, it's too formal. Just call me by my name," Lin Xuan said.

Jiang Tianji laughed and said, "Me too, just call me Jiang Tianji."

Jiang Tianji had other matters to attend to, so he left without chatting with Lin Xuan for long.

Mission Department.

Having accepted all ten missions, Lin Xuan's first target was the Huangshan Village incident, where a murder had recently occurred.

Lin Xuan took out his pager and called Jin Maiji and Meng Chao to meet him at GGT.

"Instructor Lin, you've already received the mission?"

Upon arriving at the GGT building, Jin Maiji and Meng Chao both learned that Lin Xuan had taken on numerous cases involving vengeful ghosts.

Lin Xuan nodded and handed the two of them the information about the Huangshan Village incident.

"These are the documents related to the Huangshan Village incident. Take a look."

The Huangshan Village incident is the plot of the classic horror film "The Haunted Village" from the previous life. However, in this Hong Kong ghost story, the real story may not be the same as in the movie.

At this point, according to the information GGT had uncovered, three people around the complainant, Xiaoming, had died in succession. Next, the vengeful ghost's target would be Xiaoming and his sister, Xiaoqiao.

The police department was unable to handle this case involving Goblin 57, so it was transferred to the GGT.

Due to a lack of manpower, GGT did not go to handle the situation immediately, but only investigated some aspects of the situation.

GGT is currently unaware of how things have progressed.

"The Huangshan Village Incident!"

Jin Maiji and Meng Chao picked up the documents and examined them carefully.

"Because they didn't believe the ghost stories in the newspapers, a few of them played a ghost-summoning game for thrills, and as a result, someone actually died!"

Jin Maiji's eye twitched; he found it hard to believe how stupid Xiaoming and his friends were.

The numerous reports of ghost and zombie cases in the newspapers serve as a warning to everyone: never provoke such things.

As a result, some people just didn't believe in this superstition and even used corpse oil to play some kind of soul-summoning game.

It's like turning on a light in the toilet—it's suicidal!

"No, according to the case here, their summoning game didn't actually attract any ghosts. It was actually the vengeful spirit from the pool in Huangshan Village that was causing the trouble!" Meng Chao said.

GGT's investigators are quite capable; they uncovered part of the truth behind the incident.

The document states that the ghost that killed Xiaoming's friends was not a spirit summoned by a summoning game, but a vengeful ghost that existed more than ninety years ago, named Chu Renmei.

The demolition team that went to Huangshan Village dug up Chu Renmei's remains and threw them into the pond in Huangshan Village, which caused the evil spirit to revive!

Everyone who drinks the water from the pool in Huangshan Village will be killed by Chu Renmei through illusions!

Moreover, according to GGT's investigation, eight descendants of the survivors of Huangshan Village have died for unknown reasons, and they suspect that Chu Renmei was responsible.

"It killed 66 people more than 90 years ago, this vengeful ghost is so fierce!"

After reading the mission information, Jin Maiji and Meng Chao exclaimed in surprise.

The two felt that Chu Renmei was even more terrifying than the Demon King Issey Miyake!

At least, Issey Miyake didn't manage to kill 66 people!

In terms of strength, Chu Renmei is no match for Issey Miyake, but in terms of killing intent, she is even more ferocious than Issey Miyake!

"Actually, Chu Renmei is also a pitiful person!"

Lin Xuan shook his head.

The Huangshan Village incident wasn't mentioned in the records, but Lin Xuan understood that all 66 people Chu Renmei killed more than ninety years ago deserved to die.

Because Chu Renmei's husband got involved with a wealthy young lady from the provincial capital, Chu Renmei was betrayed by the entire village before her death. She was stoned to death by the villagers and didn't even have a grave after her death. She was simply wrapped in a tattered mat and thrown into a mass grave.
