"Meow~ Yes, I didn't expect that vengeful infant spirit to have backing."
Hua Hua extended its cat tongue to lick its paw and wash its face.
At this moment.
Zhang Wei asked:
"Since Grandma hasn't finished dealing with it, and it involves a ghost faction, why did you come to find me? The priority should be guarding Grandma."
Zhang Wei thought of a guess:
"Or perhaps you want to form a contract with me first. After all, it's a ghost faction, and you, a cat, can't handle it alone. By forming a contract with me, you can conveniently contact me for help. That's a good idea."
"Meow~ No."
Hua Hua put down its paw: "Master, I didn't come to find you because I was afraid I couldn't guard Grandma and needed your help to form a contract. It's because after I found out about the forces behind the vengeful infant spirit, I also learned another thing."
"I learned this from another vengeful infant spirit."
"Before, at the bus station, after you helped Grandma and the others erase the footprints of the ghost infants on their shoulders."
"That vengeful infant spirit reported your matters to the ghost faction behind it. Now that the vengeful infant spirit is dead, the ghost faction believes it was caused by you, Master."
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Wei understood.
The ghost faction of the vengeful infant spirit believed he was the one who had someone kill the vengeful infant spirit.
Therefore.
They had targeted him, intending to find him for revenge, or even... to kill him!
As expected.
Hua Hua's words followed:
"Meow~ That ghost faction is not a good one. They already know the vengeful infant spirit is dead and are preparing to retaliate against you, Master, to kill you."
"I came to find you, Master, not only to tell you to be careful recently but also because I want to form a contract with you. This way, if you need help, I can provide timely support."
Zhang Wei nodded, understanding Hua Hua's intention.
Regardless of the contract method, ghost exorcists could establish a connection with ghosts. Even if they were far apart, they could sense danger to the other party.
This way.
Even if Hua Hua returned to protect Grandma, it could ensure Zhang Wei's safety and provide immediate support.
"I will be careful."
Zhang Wei stroked Hua Hua's little head:
"Hua Hua, you go back and protect Grandma first. If there's any danger at Grandma's, contact me directly. I won't go to Grandma's for now, but I will handle this matter."
"Meow~ Okay, Master, be careful." Hua Hua enjoyed Zhang Wei's petting.
Its purpose in coming this time was to protect Zhang Wei.
However, after forming the contract, its strength was significantly boosted by Zhang Wei, not just a little, but several times over. It knew Zhang Wei didn't need its protection.
Of course.
It also understood why Zhang Wei wasn't going to Grandma's.
After all, the matter of the vengeful infant spirit, besides Zhang Wei, directly involved Grandma's home. If Zhang Wei rashly went to Grandma's now, it would only play into the enemy's hands, leading to their capture in one fell swoop.
Seeing Hua Hua off.
Zhang Wei picked up his phone and dialed Lu Lianxue's number.
...
Lushax City.
Room 123, a high-end apartment where Lu Lianxue lived.
At this moment.
Lu Lianxue had just finished dinner and was preparing to play some games before her afternoon classes. As soon as she turned on her computer...
Ring ring.
Her phone rang.
"Hmm? Zhang Wei, why are you calling me all of a sudden? You haven't settled the matter in Wenling City, have you?"
Lu Lianxue joked. She knew where Zhang Wei was. His calling her at this time made her suspect that Zhang Wei hadn't dealt with the ghost encountered by Xiao Mantou and was calling for help from their Weidao Division.
Listening to Lu Lianxue's words on the phone.
Zhang Wei said with a smile:
"Class monitor, how can a man say he can't handle a woman's affairs? I definitely handled it, and handled it perfectly."
Lu Lianxue chuckled and retorted playfully:
"That impressive?"
"What, you don't believe me? Next time you have something you need help with, Class Monitor, remember to find me, and I'll show you how powerful I am."
As soon as he said that.
Lu Lianxue was amused by Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, why is it that everything you say, I feel like a car is running over my face, and the key is I can't see the car, only the tire marks on my face."
"Hahaha, it's an illusion." Zhang Wei laughed.
After some casual chat.
Zhang Wei turned serious and explained the reason for his call to Lu Lianxue.
A moment later.
Lu Lianxue frowned: "Ghost infant faction?"
Zhang Wei had just told her about the vengeful infant spirit incident at her grandmother's house.
"I'll tell Captain Lin about this right away."
Lu Lianxue paused.
She seemed to understand Zhang Wei's thoughts and then proactively added:
"Zhang Wei, don't worry about troubling us. Not to mention that Captain Lin handled the ghost infant, and now that a ghost faction has emerged, it's our Weidao Division's responsibility to handle it. Besides, as a citizen of Great Xia, if their family encounters a ghost, our Weidao Division has the right to protect them and deal with ghost incidents."
The matter involved a ghost faction.
Lu Lianxue dared not delay and hurriedly hung up the phone to call Captain Lin.
Not long after.
After finishing the call with Captain Lin, Lu Lianxue immediately called Zhang Wei again.
"Zhang Wei, I've spoken to Captain Lin, and he has reported it to the Weidao Division headquarters. Currently, the Weidao Division personnel in Lushax City have been dispatched to the Northeast for support, and your matter involves a ghost faction. This can be considered a serious issue, and the Weidao Division will send people over as soon as possible."
"It's estimated that someone will come to handle this matter today."
Lu Lianxue said, and then, as if remembering something, she quickly continued:
"Oh, right, Captain Huang has applied for dispatch of Weidao Division personnel to protect you. They should be here in the next couple of days."
"Okay."
Zhang Wei nodded. He wasn't worried about his own safety.
Just as Zhang Wei was about to hang up the phone.
"Zhang Wei, wait." Lu Lianxue called out.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"From what you said earlier, you're back in Lushax City now, so you're not planning to stay in the school dormitory tonight, are you?"
Lu Lianxue wasn't foolish.
She knew Zhang Wei's character. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to their Weidao Division for his grandmother's matter instead of trying to handle it himself.
And now.
Zhang Wei knew he was being targeted by a ghost faction, so he would definitely not return to the school dormitory, not wanting other students to be endangered because of him.
Thinking of this.
Lu Lianxue's face blushed, and she gritted her teeth:
"How about... how about you stay at my place for a night? I'm a ghost exorcist, so if a ghost comes, we can look out for each other."
Zhang Wei was touched by this:
"That wouldn't be good, would it? A man and a woman alone, not to mention it would be bad for your reputation, Class Monitor. Besides, you're my second brother's sister. I just said goodbye to my second brother, Lianfeng, and now I'm going to sleep at his sister's house. The timing is just right, it feels like 'the best food is dumplings, the best fun is the sister-in-law,' it's a sin!"
"So, even if I were to sleep at your place, it would have to be another day, right? Don't let my second brother get suspicious."
Zhang Wei's words were crude but logical, continuing:
"Also."
"Yesterday, I slept at Xiao Mantou's place to help them. Sleeping at another woman's place tonight, I feel so sinful, I'm worse than scum."
Zhang Wei jokingly refused Lu Lianxue's kind offer, not wanting Lu Lianxue to be in danger.
After speaking.
Zhang Wei grinned and changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about business. The comic convention is tomorrow. What are you planning to cosplay for the comic convention, Class Monitor?"
...
Time flew by.
The next day.
A hotel in Lushax City.
Zhang Wei walked out of the hotel and stood at the entrance, looking at the clear blue sky, stretching his arms:
"The weather is really nice today, a perfect day for a comic convention."
After talking to Lu Lianxue on the phone yesterday, he found a hotel to stay in. He didn't even go to dinner with Qiu Xiaolin and the others, fearing that the ghost faction might find him and indirectly harm others.
As a result, a night passed.
He felt like he was worrying unnecessarily.
The ghost faction did not find him immediately.
Thinking to himself.
Zhang Wei called for a Didi and headed to the comic convention he had been looking forward to.
