On the one hand, I was shocked by Mr. Smith's generosity, and on the other hand, I fell into deep doubts.
It's strange! Mr. Smith is a businessman, and businessmen have the pursuit of profit as their bounden duty. Now, instead of making money, Mr. Smith spends a lot of money to fight with the evil spirits in Doll Town. This is a bit intriguing.
How many ghosts are there in Doll Town? According to the previous information, there must be three hundred, right? This expenditure alone will cost him a full 90 million US dollars.
This price is only the reward for the exorcist, and does not include the funds to develop the town and build the factory afterwards.
Any serious businessman would probably give up and find another place to develop. Anyway, this country has a vast land, rich resources, and a sparse population. Where should we go?
But it happened that Mr. Smith got into trouble with Doll Town.
Of course, you can also say that Mr. Smith is stubborn and has a lot of money. But in fact, who can call him stupid for being able to build such a powerful family business?
Something's wrong with this! Something seems very wrong!
I was thinking carefully here, but Butler Smith was talking there: "Mr. Smith said that in his whole life, he has never seen a living ghost, so he is very interested in these things."
"So Mr. Smith named this event Demon Hunting Operation. All exorcists who come to East St. John Lake can participate. As long as you have the ability to hunt the dolls, you can exchange them with the Smith family for a corresponding amount of money."
money."
"Everyone, this is destined to be a life-threatening mission! But it is also an opportunity for you to change your destiny! If anyone wants to regret it, it is still too late to leave now!"
The eyes of the exorcists were red, and they started shouting and making noises. You must know that although these exorcists are very capable, their lives are actually very miserable, whether in Canada or the United States.
After all, foreigners don’t believe in Feng Shui, reincarnation, and fortune telling. If you are lucky, you may encounter one or two unlucky people who encounter ghosts.
If you are unlucky, you may even have trouble eating.
Now Mr. Smith has given them a clear price, three hundred thousand dollars for a doll. This price is enough to drive them crazy.
I was thinking about it when suddenly someone behind me coughed and said, "Little brother, what do you call me?"
I turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit with neatly combed hair standing behind me. He had an Asian face and spoke Chinese very proficiently, so he might be from China.
When I suddenly met a Chinese in a foreign country where I was unfamiliar with my life, I felt a sense of intimacy. So I quickly clasped my fists at him and said, "Hebei Exorcist, Zhang Laosi."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Anhui sent the coroner, Yang Rui."
I have heard of the name of Anhui's coroner, and he can be regarded as carrying the banner of Anhui Province. However, the coroner's lineage is not prosperous, and the mortality rate is very high, so that although the method is strong, it is almost at a low level.
The state of inheritance is broken.
I vaguely remember that the coroner who carried the flag in Anhui was a woman. I have never heard of the name Yang Rui.
Perhaps seeing the confusion in my eyes, Yang Rui laughed again and said, "I have lived in Canada for more than thirty years and have lost my Chinese nationality."
I suddenly realized that no wonder I had never heard of his name in China. It turned out that he immigrated thirty years ago.
Exorcism Without Borders, I have no prejudice at all about his immigration. But if he comes to me at this time, he must have something to say, right?
So I said to Yang Rui: "Mr. Yang didn't come to me just to get to know you, right?"
Yang Rui's eyes flashed. He first glanced around, and then whispered: "I'm here to remind Brother Zhang that this job is not easy!"
My heart moved, and it turned out that Yang Rui also realized that this job was not easy. So I deliberately asked: "What?"
Yang Rui said seriously: "Brother Zhang, from your perspective, what are the abilities of these exorcists here?"
I glanced at the people around me and whispered: "Very strong!"
This evaluation is very pertinent. Although these foreign exorcists all have their eyes set high above their heads and may find this one distasteful and that one a weakling, but in terms of their ability, they can definitely be called experts.
Especially the ghost-god mother-in-law, the old foreigner, and the two sword-wielding disciples in white who have always kept a low profile and are sitting on a bench in the distance are not easy to mess with.
Yang Rui added: "What do you think of the victory or defeat of these twenty-nine exorcists against three hundred evil spirits?"
This time I thought about it for a moment and then said, "The odds are high!"
Twenty-nine versus three hundred sounds like a huge disparity in numbers. But most of the people in Doll Town are lonely ghosts. Even if there are a few powerful ghosts, they won't be able to cause much trouble.
Although many exorcists died here before, everyone went there alone to make money, so it was not difficult to die. Now that everyone is outnumbered, the chance of winning should be more than 70%.
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said: "I also inferred this. But you know what? I saw that everyone was filled with a sense of death."
I was taken aback and asked: "Death Qi?"
It is said that people who are about to die will have some omens. For example, their teeth turn black, crows fly in front of the door, their breath is cold, or they cannot see themselves in other people's pupils.
These are actually signs that a person is about to die.
Anhui's coroner has been dealing with corpses all year round, and he has this ability to look for aura. At this time, Yang Rui could see that all the exorcists present were filled with a strong aura of death.
According to his experience, no one survives more than three days.
I was horrified by what Yang Rui said, so I asked, "Does it happen to me too?"
Yang Rui nodded: "It's not only on you, but also on me. To be honest, my instinct told me to leave here immediately and return to Ottawa. But I can't just leave like this, watching everyone die, but I
Running away in the face of battle. If you do this, I will have inner demons."
My face is uncertain, and even my body is filled with a sense of death, which means that the chance of me dying here is very high. But the thing of death is invisible and intangible, and I am not sure what Yang Rui is talking about.
True or false.
This is very interesting. I thought that going to Doll Town was just a matter of establishing friendship with the sword-wielding disciples of Sleepy Hollow, but I didn't expect that it would end up like this.
Seeing me silent there, Yang Rui whispered: "Brother Zhang, why don't we withdraw temporarily. These foreigners have their own family affairs, and there is no need for us to fight to the death here..."
It is a good thing to make money, but if you lose your life just to make money, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain. Yang Rui made the decision with this mentality.
I shook my head and said, "We can't leave!"
We are about to set off now. Once Yang Rui and I retreat, even if those foreign exorcists cannot force us, they may laugh at us.
More importantly, the two sword-wielding disciples from Sleepy Hollow are also going in. If I want to build a good relationship with Sleepy Hollow, I must seize this opportunity!
Maybe during this demon hunting operation, I can still gain the friendship of Sleepy Hollow!
Anyway, when an exorcist goes out to work, which time does he not risk his life? There are many times when he risks the death energy, but which time does he not save his life?
If you are really afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, what big things can you achieve?
So I told Yang Rui: "Mr. Yang, thank you for your reminder. But this matter concerns the dignity of the Chinese people and some of my personal matters, so I cannot retreat."
Yang Rui whispered: "Are you crazy? If you go to Doll Town, you will die!"
I shrugged nonchalantly and said, "My boss told me that death is not terrible. What is terrible is that a person has lost his energy! If I shrink back this time, I will shrink back when I encounter difficulties next time!"
"If you retreat like this, what responsibilities can you take on in the future?"
What I said was so decisive and powerful that Yang Rui immediately looked at me with admiration. His face struggled to change, and finally he said: "Okay! Let's go try it! Doll Town, it's really time to restrain itself!"
While Yang Rui and I were talking quietly here, Butler Smith had already assigned us a simple team.
There were twenty-nine exorcists present, divided into four teams. The four teams were led by the ghost goddess Granny, the old foreigner from Xiaojing Mountain, the two sword-wielding disciples from Sleepy Hollow Valley, and a stout man who always liked to drink.
The bloody guy is the leader.
There are more than ten people in these four teams, and there are only four or five people in the small ones. They took transportation to approach the four directions of the puppet town, and then went into the town to catch ghosts together.
A ghost costs 300,000 US dollars. In their eyes, that is not a ghost doll, but a moving banknote.
I was placed in the team due east. In addition, Yang Rui and Locke were in the same team as me. Originally, I wanted to follow the sword-wielding disciples, and I was thinking about finding a chance to save them.
But contrary to expectations, my team leader turned out to be the old foreigner who almost had sex with me.
The old foreigner had a bad temper. When he saw me in his team, he cursed in a low voice. Then he said loudly: "Since this is a temporary team, everyone should listen to me! I'll say the ugly things first.
Up front, we came to Doll Town to make a fortune! If anyone delays retreating and delays my making money, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Someone next to me said impatiently: "That's a lot of nonsense! Get in the car quickly! Didn't you see they have left?"
In name, they formed a team, and the old foreigner was the captain. But everyone was an unruly leader, and no one would really listen to his orders. The old foreigner was a bit stupid, and he actually wanted everyone to obey his orders, which immediately caused a stir.
to overcome other people’s dissatisfaction.
The old foreigner glared at the man fiercely, and then got directly into a seven-seater commercial vehicle. He sat in the driver's cab, turned on the accelerator, and shouted: "Get in the car!"
Everyone squeezed into the car from the left and right sides, and then there was a strong push on the back, but the old foreigner had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and sped directly in the direction of Doll Town.
If we could use six words to describe the essence of this demon hunting operation, it would be: burn them all, kill them all, and rob them all!
The twenty-nine exorcists were divided into four teams and each took five vehicles and rushed to the direction they were responsible for. The vehicles were filled with gasoline. Once they arrived at the designated location, they began to ignite flames and blockade the entire town.
These gasolines are mixed with some special materials, such as a combustion accelerant made from purple cinnabar. Once ignited, not only will the flames be blazing, but they will also have masculine properties, possessing certain properties of Yang Fire.
This kind of flames circled around the town, and it was clear that they wanted to catch them all in one go, and they didn't want to let go of any dolls.
After all, a doll costs 300,000 yuan. If it ran away, who wouldn't feel sad if it were replaced?
After igniting the flame, you have to enter the town to catch ghosts. This is the time to test your personal ability. If you have better skills, catch more, and if you have worse skills, catch less.
I'm sorry for those who have gained a false reputation and fished in troubled waters. Three souls and seven souls were swallowed by the evil ghost and died miserably on the spot. That can only be blamed on your bad luck.
The place we were responsible for was due east of the town. When we arrived, raging fires were already burning in the west, north, and south. The flames spread to the left and right along the perimeter of the town, and soon became one.
The old foreigner said hurriedly: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Start working!"
He stepped on the brakes, jumped down, opened the trunk, and then told us to set fire to the town quickly.
I put the short evil-suppressing stick on my waist, carried a barrel of gasoline behind me, and ran towards the town. After only two steps, I saw a man and a woman standing on the road leading to Doll Town, smiling.
looked at me.
I was startled at first, and subconsciously I wanted to put down the gasoline can and touch the evil-suppressing stick. Who would have thought that someone behind me would curse and say: "What the hell is evil!"
The man and the woman were indeed evil. Their expressions were stiff, the corners of their mouths were raised, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be the same as those painted on them. But I immediately realized that these two guys were not human beings at all, they were dolls.
