Lv Dong frowned and said in a deep voice:
"What's the situation? Has there been an intrusion by someone else?"
A very peculiar voice came through the phone:
"Well... Boss... the three of them have woken up, but... it doesn't seem like it was an intrusion by someone else..."
"It's been an intrusion by a ghost..."
If this were a normal person, a normal boss, someone on the same level as Shen Hanshan,
hearing this statement would definitely make them react with a strange expression and say, "Do you even hear what you're saying?"
"Has your faith faltered? You have to trust in science; how can there possibly be ghosts in this world?!"
But upon hearing this, Lv Dong's brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed, actually letting out a low exclamation:
"What did you say?!!"
His voice was as loud as when he angrily scolded Wang Yongbo before.
The person on the other end of the phone, hearing Lv Dong's voice, thought their big boss was angry and quickly said nervously:
"Well... Boss, please don't be mad..."
"I feel they might be scaring themselves out of boredom while guarding here."
"I even suspect it's a prank; I'll give them a good lesson later."
"Boss, don't be angry, how could there be ghosts in this world anyway? Hahaha..."
The laughter in these final sentences sounded so stiff and awkward.
However, there was no sound from the boss's side of the phone.
The person on the other end cautiously asked in confusion:
"Boss?"
"Are you listening?"
"Please don't be angry?"
It seemed only at this point did Lv Dong react, saying:
"Alright... I understand..."
"Have them rest well; when day breaks, I'll visit them personally."
"Visit?"
The subordinate on the other end was baffled.
Wasn't this a prank, a scare by a ghost, and the boss actually plans to visit?
Did the boss not hear what I said earlier?
"No, um, boss, what I said earlier was..."
"Beep beep beep beep—"
The line was already busy.
The person who made the call looked at the phone in his hand with a puzzled expression.
"What the heck is this..."
"And yet, a visit from the boss?"
"Should I... pretend to be scared by ghosts too?"
He certainly didn't know that Lv Dong actually heard his explanation, and even preferred not to hear it at all.
At this moment, Lv Dong's face was somewhat pale.
His pupils were visibly rigid, and even a few blood streaks gradually appeared.
He slowly stood up, supporting himself on the chair.
Upon standing, he seemed to have a bit of weak legs, stumbling back onto the chair.
He exerted himself again before finally standing upright.
He seemed like an elderly man in twilight as he wobbled forward.
Propping himself against the walls and doorframes, he left the study.
He actually left his apartment residence directly.
Only, he didn't take the elevator downstairs.
Instead, he stood in front of his opposite neighbor's door.
And, surprisingly, took out a set of keys and unlocked the door, entering inside.
The inside was empty, devoid of any lighting, and there wasn't even any furniture inside, looking like a bare room.
But at this moment, Lv Dong's face turned even paler.
His footsteps forward were increasingly uncertain.
He slowly reached the entrance to the bedroom.
On the most prominent center of the bedroom door, there was a talisman paper stuck?!
A talisman paper!
Upon seeing the talisman paper, a trace of fear appeared in Lv Dong's eyes.
He extended his hand as if to open the bedroom door.
But he couldn't muster the courage to grasp the doorknob.
He struggled in place for over ten minutes.
Finally, he couldn't bear his ever-increasing fear any longer.
"Thump thump thump!" and quickly retreated.
He turned around and dashed out in a flash.
Tightly locking the main door.
He returned to his apartment once more.
This time, he was like a frightened child.
He went straight into the bedroom, diving into his blanket, covering himself completely, curling up and trembling gently.
At the same time, in the pitch-black bedroom, a pair of bright eyes slowly opened.
Those familiar starry pupils could only belong to Zhang Feng, who else?
Actually, while Lv Dong struggled in the "neighbor's" house next door.
Zhang Feng had already followed the address Shen Hanshan gave him to Lv Dong's place.
He'd sneaked in quietly.
Only to find that Lv Dong wasn't home?
He didn't know where the old rascal had gone.
Not being home was good; it allowed him to search for clues properly.
But just as Zhang Feng was searching Lv Dong's bedroom,
the hurried sound of Lv Dong's footsteps startled Zhang Feng, making him quickly hide.
To put it bluntly, there wasn't time to hide because Lv Dong returned too quickly.
He just stood backed against Lv Dong's wardrobe, pressing tightly against the wall.
Who knew Lv Dong would be completely unaware of him, as if he couldn't see him at all, diving right into the blanket.
This made a trace of confusion appear in Zhang Feng's eyes:
"What's going on to scare him like this?"
Just after this brief confusion.
Zhang Feng's gaze paused slightly, and then his brow creased slowly:
"Yin energy!!"
"How can Lv Dong have such dense Yin energy on him?!"
Indeed, ordinary people might not detect it.
But Zhang Feng was highly sensitive to this abnormally cold aura.
Before crossing over, Zhang Feng frequently interacted with such things.
And even after crossing over, he's seen many spirits.
He was very sure this kind of Yin energy couldn't possibly appear on a normal human!
"Could it be... is Lv Dong already dead?!"
Just when Zhang Feng thought Lv Dong was a corpse possessed by something,
he felt the Yin energy entangling Lv Dong gradually dissipating?
It also seemed that with the dissipation of this Yin energy,
Lv Dong's trembling body in the blanket gradually calmed down.
This made Zhang Feng's furrow his brow even more deeply.
"Lv Dong's not dead, so this Yin energy... could it be he just encountered something special?"
At this thought,
Zhang Feng didn't hesitate and left Lv Dong's bedroom before he could be discovered.
He then made a hand gesture, his voice low: "Urgently as a command!"
A light blue glow appeared in Zhang Feng's eyes again.
As if capturing a trajectory invisible to the naked eye.
This trajectory was Lv Dong's mad sprint just moments ago.
And it was slowly dissipating over time.
Without hesitation, Zhang Feng followed this fading trajectory out of Lv Dong's apartment.
He then slowly looked up.
"It extends to the neighbor's house?"
Zhang Feng stood before the tightly locked door, quirking his mouth slightly, and his fingers rested on the lock.
A faint click sounded, and the lock clicked open.
Creaking, the moment Zhang Feng pushed open the door, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively let out a low exclamation:
"Vengeful ghost?!"
