Feng Bujue followed Gu Chen silently. The whole process took a minute. During this one minute, Brother Jue thought about a lot of things, such as … how the chair was cut into pieces, what Chief Gu was going to do next, and … the so-called consciousness, ghosts, ghost realm … what exactly were they?
A minute later, Gu Chen brought Feng Bujue to the end of the corridor. He casually opened a metal door in front of them and led Brother Jue into another room.
The environment of this room was much better than the previous one. At the very least, there were no graffiti on the walls. Furthermore, the area of this room was larger, about 40 square meters. Most importantly, there were two fluorescent tubes installed on the ceiling, providing sufficient illumination.
When Feng Bujue entered the room, he noticed that … in the middle of the room, there was still a four-legged wooden table and two metal folding chairs. The only difference was that there was no lamp on the table.
"Sit." When Gu Chen said this word, he had already picked a seat and sat down.
Brother Jue didn't stand on ceremony. He quickly walked to the table and sat across from Gu Chen, "Let me ask first … there aren't any evil ghosts in this room, right?"
"Don't worry." Gu Chen replied. "The test is over. You … barely passed."
"What test?" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively. "The Ghostbusters' test? Or the Nine Subjects' test? "He raised two possible hypotheses.
"Neither." Gu Chen answered calmly. "This is just a test I did out of curiosity. I wanted to see if you could pass it alive."
"Heh …" Feng Bujue sneered, "What if I died in the test?"
"Then it proves …" Gu Chen replied in a deep voice, "… that you're just so-so."
"Hahahaha …" Feng Bujue laughed. He didn't comment on Gu Chen's unreasonable explanation. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with Gu Chen's answer. "That's f * cking reasonable!"
When Gu Chen saw his Brother Jue's reaction, he smiled and said, "Alright … Since you've passed the test, everything will be fine." As he spoke, he took out a phone from his shirt pocket and placed it in front of Brother Jue. "This is your phone."
"I say … is it really okay for you to search other people's residences without permission?" At that moment, Feng Bujue was still wearing the blood-stained pajamas that he had been arrested. The sneakers on his feet were the ones that Bao Qing had asked him to wear before he put on the hood, so … the phone before his eyes was undoubtedly something that the people from Jiu Ke had found in his house.
"Let's put it this way …" Gu Chen leaned back in his chair. "It's illegal for you to secretly investigate Nine Sections, but it's also legal for us to brazenly raid your home."
"Ah!" Feng Bujue was unconvinced. "Only the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?"
"Mm … That's right." Gu Chen thought for half a second, then gave an affirmative answer. "This has been a tradition since ancient times. Do you have any complaints?"
"Mm … Pretend I didn't say anything …" Feng Bujue also thought for half a second and realized that he had nothing to say.
"Anyway, I've left a number in your phone. If there's a situation, someone will contact you through that number." Gu Chen quickly brought the topic back on track. "Also … you don't have to continue investigating us. I've already compiled all the practical knowledge about the nine subjects, the Ghost Hunting World, Heaven and Hell into a document and saved it in your phone."
"Chief Gu …" Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean … Do you want me to be your informant too?"
"No." Gu Chen denied. "There's no need for that." He paused for a moment, then said, "I just think … Since you're so interested in the supernatural things in this world, I might as well help you and let you take fewer detours."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue immediately cast a suspicious look at the other party. "Chief Gu … You and I are neither relatives nor friends. We don't even know each other. Furthermore, I'm on your surveillance list … Why are you helping me?"
"Personal reasons." Gu Chen replied with these four words.
"Uh …" Feng Bujue muttered. "Old Gu …" His way of addressing Gu Chen had inexplicably changed. "It's impossible between us …" He then said such a heartbreaking sentence.
"Do you think that I'm going to have an unforgettable love at first sight with you?" Gu Chen continued.
"That's right …" Feng Bujue glanced at the other party and said, "I've already noticed that you're wearing a wedding ring … And the way you're looking at me doesn't have good intentions …"
"Feng Bujue." Gu Chen's expression was the same as usual. "If you think that this level of acting is enough to make me complain, then you're sorely mistaken." His tone was still as leisurely as before. "I've long since passed the age of complaining to others. Furthermore … compared to my partner back then, the things you've provided me with are still lacking."
"You've been living a life full of jokes …" After Brother Bujue's scheme was exposed, he simply complained to himself.
"Alright … You don't have to think about getting information out of me." Gu Chen stretched his shoulders. "I'll let you know what you should know. As for what you shouldn't know … It's mostly things that you won't benefit from knowing." His expression turned serious. "When you go back today, pay attention to two things. First, you have to help cover up Bao Qing's identity. You can't let anyone find out. Second … Now that you've awakened your consciousness, you might … see ghosts sometimes … Of course, there aren't that many wandering ghosts in this world. Even if there are, they're gathered in places with heavy Yin energy. Don't wander around graveyards or morgues. You might not even see one in a few years. "
"Hey hey …" When Feng Bujue heard this, he said in a very unhappy tone. "What if … I happen to run into one?"
"You barely leave your house. Where are you going to run into one?" Gu Chen replied lazily. "Ghosts are very afraid of the yang energy on living people. Even at night, there will be a kind of aura in places with a lot of people. Like the residential area you live in … Unless there's some kind of wrongful case and an earthbound spirit is born, there won't be any ghosts. " He took a deep breath. "Let's take a step back … Even if a ferocious ghost comes looking for you, and that ghost is at the level of a horror movie's boss … your cat can still kill it with one slap."
"No, I'm still worried." Feng Bujue continued shamelessly. "It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. You should teach me a few self-defense moves …" His real purpose was finally exposed. "The move you used to cut the metal chair into pieces was pretty good. I think it must be the legendary 'Hurricane Blade Technique', right? Do you have any secret manuals for me to study? "
"First of all, the Hurricane Blade Technique is Tian Boguang's martial art. It has nothing to do with me." Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Bujue. "Secondly, with your current level of consciousness, you can only do the most basic 'Spiritual Sight' and 'Spiritual Touch'. If you want to learn moves … your spiritual energy is far from enough." He used a more serious tone to remind him. "Therefore, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't try anything dangerous. For example, based on your experience in 'Thriller Paradise', if you try to use 'Body Enhancement Spell' in real life … that's basically suicide."
"You even know about my in-game skills …" At that moment, Feng Bujue felt a chill run down his spine. Communicating with Gu Chen made him feel like he was walking on thin ice.
"My department can access the Dream Company's database at any time. Even though we can't see some of the encrypted data, the basic data of a certain in-game character and their actions in the scenario can be easily found." Speaking up to this point, Gu Chen seemed to have suddenly thought of something. "Oh, speaking of which … … Half an hour ago, I saw something interesting in the latest report … …" As he spoke, he took out his phone and swiped a few times on the touchscreen. "Hmm … … You used a move called … … 'Hailkyaku – Octagon Triumphant Bird', right?"
"Yes … Is there a problem?" Feng Bujue asked.
Gu Chen didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "You're interested in the Eight Diagrams?"
"I … have studied it before …" Brother Bujue answered reluctantly.
"Oh." Gu Chen answered casually. Then, he pressed a few buttons on his phone. "I'll use Bluetooth to send you the 'Book of Hidden Armor'. You can receive it and read it when you're free."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned. He didn't know how to respond. However, he quickly picked up his phone and turned on the Bluetooth.
Gu Chen continued as if nothing had happened. "After you've learned the whole book, you'll naturally be able to deal with ghosts …"
