Chapter 1941 - 1053: Seeking Help (2)
Chapter 1941: Chapter 1053: Seeking Help (2)
In a place where firearms are strictly prohibited, a single case would be national news.
The current bizarre events are like discovering frequent shootings in a normally gun-free zone, causing no small amount of panic.
Various supermarkets and daily necessity items have started experiencing panic buying.
However, Tao Yu considered it and temporarily did not announce the use of gold, otherwise, it would certainly trigger a wave of gold hoarding.
“Even if ordinary people had gold, they can’t deal with the bizarre. Triggering a rush to buy gold would scatter the gold resources too much, leading to more trouble…”
Tao Yu sighed, but the bizarre events themselves have already caused many countries to adopt a tough stance on getting their gold back from the land of Da Piao Liang, which is still delaying and refusing to permit the transport.
“Indeed, in terms of the total amount of gold, they have the most. Who knows how long it will take to accumulate enough magic stones…”
The gold in Tao Yu’s possession is just a ton, which doesn’t feel sufficient to seal some powerful bizarre entities.
The density of gold is so high; a ton is just a small cube, and beyond Da Piao Liang’s 8,000 tons of reserves, other countries have stored quite a bit here, totaling over ten thousand tons…
“Leaving it to you is a waste; find a way to snatch it…”
Tao Yu closed his notebook, glanced at the indescribable scene on the messy bed, casually patted the jelly, and asked her to change, preparing to make some plans.
However, at this moment, Tao Yu heard some sounds coming from below.
“We’ve really encountered trouble, please, Little Duke, save us.”
“Yes, there’s really a ghost!”
The voices sounded chaotic and cluttered. Tao Yu glanced out of the window and saw a group of people in security uniforms pleading.
Compared to hotel security, they seemed very inept.
Especially in their pleading manner, they seemed as humble as a dog on the roadside…
…
“No, we’re really begging Little Duke to save us.”
Tie Dan, dressed in a security uniform, continuously cried and begged at the hotel entrance to the security guards who exuded a higher class aura.
“Yes, why make things difficult for fellow security? We’re on the same side.”
Ah Qiang also approached to remind them.
But it would have been better if they hadn’t reminded them; the hotel guards were merely stopping them from entering. Once they spoke, the hotel guards in their standard uniforms got angry.
“Who do you think is on the same side with you? Leave now, or I’ll call the police.”
“I already said not to come.”
Captain Lu was also a bit regretful; they just came to give it a try because they really encountered the ghost of the old lady, and now Mr. Li and Mrs. Li’s spirit night was nearing, feeling desperate for help.
The previous ghost-catching expert was so unreliable that his courage training blew him to the hospital.
So after seeing the circulated video of the jewelry heist, they came to see if they could get help.
Apparently, it was still quite difficult to invite the high-ranking figures.
“If it doesn’t work, we can report it; weren’t there also two officers in the video? They have yin-yang eyes and might specialize in handling such matters.”
Another security guard suggested.
As they chattered, and the hotel guards were about to clear them out, a bodyguard of Tao Yu came down and said to the hotel guards,
“Alright, let them in. His Grace Duke wants to see them.”
The hotel guards didn’t expect that this matter would even catch the Little Duke’s attention, but since it was said, they had to comply.
However, Captain Lu and the others didn’t understand English and didn’t know what the bodyguard was saying.
It was only when the guards let them pass did they realize and understand.
“I remember he appeared in the video too; seems to be a bodyguard, maybe Little Duke’s bodyguard.”
“Little Duke is willing to see us!”
The group, finally having found a way, was quite moved, and carefully followed George up the elevator to Tao Yu’s suite.
Upon entering, they first saw a voluptuous beauty in professional OL secretary attire standing to one side. Her alluring face rosy, her eyes seemed dewy as if honey could drip out, enchanting.
But even such beauty could only briefly attract their gaze in the room; all attention was naturally drawn to Tao Yu, who was sipping tea while seated.
Even just holding a cup casually, he inexplicably exerted a pressure they could feel.
It seemed like every move of this Little Duke could capture all their focus.
So this is what the aura of those in power is like!
They had prepared so many different speeches and thought through their request multiple times.
But standing before him now, they found themselves at a loss for words.
“Please, take a seat. What kind of fierce ghost are you dealing with?”
Tao Yu put down the teacup and asked casually.
“Yes, yes, that’s right, a couple in our apartment died a few days ago. Before their death, they swore they’d turn into fierce ghosts for revenge, and their spirit night is approaching…”
Captain Lu, as a head of security, started stammering as he explained, mentioning how their ghost-catching expert ended up hospitalized.
Normally, fierce ghosts aren’t that easy to form, but Tao Yu knew that those two indeed had such potential.
“Alright then, this will add some more proof.”
Tao Yu gestured for Le Huizhen to prepare the filming equipment, getting ready to investigate.
The frequency of encountering such bizarreness is relatively low; we’re still in the early stages of the outbreak, and Brother Leg Yang Jian is still diligently studying.
In this situation, using fierce ghosts as practice works just fine.
For ordinary people, ghosts and the bizarre represent unknown fears that serve as effective deterrents.
And handling such matters falls under the purview of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, leading Tao Yu to contact them directly…
…
Due to the effects of ’Cow’s Tears,’ the Miscellaneous Affairs Department has begun a phased expansion.
The first batch involves deploying three officers.
Zhou Xingxing, Chen Jiaju, Cao Dahua.
Zhou Xingxing and Chen Jiaju both possess extraordinary abilities and have previously experienced the jewelry heist incident. It wasn’t intended to retain them in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, but to let them learn and understand some relevant knowledge.
This was for preparing them for promotions.
As for Cao Dahua, he was put here out of convenience after exaggerating his contributions.
This phase theoretically serves as pre-promotion training, although the three being evaluated are unaware.
Particularly Zhou Xingxing and Cao Dahua, who have not dealt with ghosts or bizarre, were constantly venting in the office of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department:
“Is this a joke? I was leading the charge in the previous operations, only two teammates got injured, and this still warrants my exile? I might as well be transferred to traffic patrol.”
Zhou Xingxing had his feet on the table, reading a magazine and complaining.
“Yes, and they want us to rub Cow’s Tears on our eyelids. Is this some cult? Can’t they just launder clothes in peace?”
Cao Dahua chimed in immediately.
“Hey, didn’t you guys watch the recent videos? This department handles those kinds of situations. Get serious, or something really bad will happen.”
Chen Jiaju, who witnessed the ghost-back incident and the damage caused by fierce ghost possession under Tao Yu, adapted the quickest among the newcomers.
Although finding his reassignment here unusual, he was energized by the prospect of facing unknown challenges.
“Those mysterious videos—I refuse to watch them. Seeing too many will make you dumb.”
Zhou Xingxing was clearly displeased with his ’demotion,’ covering his face with a magazine while leaning back in his chair, wanting only to numb his wounded spirit.
“Hey, newcomers, there’s work to do. This time, with Little Duke involved, the security level is high enough. It’s a good opportunity for you to adapt…”
