Meanwhile.
In the apartment below Wan Ling's.
In the living room, a young man and a woman were sitting on the sofa watching television.
The woman was the object of the young man's affection. Today, he had summoned the courage to tell her that his family had bought a 3D home theater projector. Knowing she liked movies, he used this as an excuse to invite her over.
As everyone knows.
When inviting a girl over to watch a movie, it must be a horror film.
The young man was no exception. He put on a horror movie. As the movie played, with a scream from the film, the girl, startled, leaned towards the young man, clutching his arm tightly, and said directly:
"Sun Bo, your home theater's picture quality is amazing, and the sound quality is great too!"
"Right? I spent thousands of dollars on this, it comes with 3D surround sound." The young man said proudly.
"Oh~ so it's 3D surround sound, no wonder it's so realistic. I heard the female lead's screams in the movie, it sounded like it was coming from upstairs in your apartment, so real."
While praising him, the girl still tugged at the young man's clothes:
"But this horror movie is too scary, let's watch something else."
At the girl's request.
The young man changed the movie to a gunfight film. Gunfight films have all sorts of gore and can also make the girl lean into him out of fear.
Then...
As they watched, a gunshot suddenly rang out. It was Zhang Wei firing a Barrett from the rooftop, followed by continuous gunfire and the shrill screams of ghosts.
The young man was stunned:
"Holy crap, I feel like my home theater was worth the money. The sound of this sniper rifle is too realistic, it really feels like it's being shot from across the street."
The girl nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly, this projector and sound system were worth it. It's really comparable to a cinema. Look at the protagonist fighting those dozen thugs, it's so immersive, it's like they're shooting right near us, the gunshots are so real."
"Haha, I also think it was worth it. Listen, not only the gunshots, but even the screams, the sound quality is lossless. The way the sound is played, I almost thought someone next door was actually screaming from being beaten."
The girl also nodded in agreement.
Regarding this.
The young man seized the opportunity to suggest:
"Haha, then how about coming to my place again tomorrow to watch movies? Or, we could rent together? Your current lease is almost up, and you're looking for a roommate, right? Let's rent together."
Finally, under the barrage of gunfire and screams, and her good impression of the young man, the girl agreed:
"Okay."
...
At the same time.
Upstairs in the apartment, at Wan Ling's place.
At this moment.
Under Zhang Wei's guidance, the monks were performing physical exorcisms on the lustful ghosts.
As the lustful ghosts were exorcised and passed on, the system notification sound echoed in his mind. Having reaped every bit of their essence until their last breath, Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something...
*Ring ring.*
His phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw the caller ID – Captain Lin Tong.
He answered the call, and Lin Tong's voice immediately came through:
"Zhang Wei, are you asleep yet?"
"I'm not asleep yet, Captain Lin. I'm still guiding the newcomers in ghost extermination."
"Haha, still guiding them? I thought you would have finished. Zhang Wei, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a meal sometime. By the way, how are the newcomers you're training? Are you tired?"
"Not tired, they're quite quick learners, as expected from prestigious backgrounds."
"Hahaha, of course, they are from Mount Wutai. So... so Zhang Wei, have you taught them physical exorcism?"
Mentioning the ongoing guidance, Lin Tong asked the question he most wanted to know.
Zhang Wei subconsciously glanced at the monks.
It could be seen.
The monks were clasping their hands together, chanting scriptures over the deceased lustful ghosts. If their hands, especially the bones of their fingers, were not stained with blood, the scene would have appeared benevolent.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei smiled and replied:
"Captain Lin, I just finished teaching them physical exorcism, and they're learning well."
His voice was not loud, and everyone in the living room could hear it.
However.
The monks did not hear him.
After exorcising the lustful ghosts, they were gathered together, discussing their day's gains in hushed tones. If one listened closely, it seemed they were also discussing applying to the Wei Dao Division to purchase firearms:
"Fellow senior and junior brothers, sin, sin. I've realized that physical exorcism seems to fit our Buddhist Golden Body very well. Sin, sin, Buddha, please forgive my delusion."
"The Buddhist Golden Body is meant to engage in close combat with ghosts, so this fit is normal. Actually, compared to this, should we learn from and apply what Instructor Zhang said about using firearms for ghost extermination? Although it's very effective, we are monks."
"Well, senior brother, I think you worry too much. I remember Senior Brother Wu Nian told us when he went back last time that Instructor Zhang saved his life? It seems he summoned a Gatling Bodhisattva."
"Amitabha, senior brother, I think it's worth a try. Although it seems a bit too brutal for monks to use, didn't Master tell us to learn more?"
"Actually, we can apply to the Wei Dao Division to purchase them. You might not know, but Senior Brother Wu Nian is also researching firearms for ghost extermination. After the Gatling Bodhisattva saved his life last time, he got a Gatling gun and was tinkering with it in his room. I accidentally saw it."
"Really?! Since Senior Brother Wu Nian is using them, then we should try them too. However, I won't be getting a Barrett. I don't think it suits me. I prefer something lighter. I'll get a handgun. I saw Miss Wan Ling and the others seemed to be enjoying themselves with them."
...
The next morning.
Xiamen City, Wei Dao Division Headquarters.
Lin Tong woke up early today and opened the shop. In the past, he might have slept in, but today was the day to train the new recruits of the Wei Dao Division, so he had to set a good example.
Shortly after.
The monks from Mount Wutai walked towards the shop entrance.
After a brief greeting, Lin Tong smiled and said:
"Little masters, how did you learn from Zhang Wei yesterday? Is physical exorcism very good, allowing the Buddhist Golden Body to be displayed to its fullest, very satisfying?"
"Amitabha, yes, Captain Lin. Physical exorcism indeed perfectly complements the Buddhist Golden Body."
As one of the monks spoke, he handed Lin Tong a list with a shopping list on it.
"Amitabha, Captain Lin, this humble monk heard that new recruits of the Wei Dao Division can apply to the Wei Dao Division for magic artifacts and other items. We are still in the training phase, so we don't know if we can apply."
"Technically, you can't, but I can make an exception to apply for you."
These were all good prospects for physical exorcism, and Lin Tong cherished them greatly, not hesitating to use his own funds to apply for them.
Afterward.
He took their list:
"Let me see what you want to apply for. Finger tigers, gauntlets... What the heck? What is this???"
Lin Tong was stunned, staring blankly at the list, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
On the list, there was a row of firearms.
【Application: 5 Barrett sniper rifles, 100 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition, 20 Desert Eagles, 4 Gatling guns, 1 98k, 2 submachine guns...】
"What's going on? Were you hired to fight in Iraq? Are you sure this list is correct?"
After reconfirming that the list was correct and hearing the situation from the monks, Lin Tong was dumbfounded.
Ghost exterminators?
Monks?
Muscle monks?
Monk special forces???
