The words of the female cosplayers echoed in their ears.
Watching the female cosplayers surround Zhang Wei.
Li Junfei's triumphant smile contorted into a meme of an old man on the subway.
The scene before him.
It was a dream that otaku yearned for, Wei Ge had achieved it in reality.
Asuna, Kyōka Suiryū, Nami, Boa Hancock, Hinata, Raiden Shogun, a corrupted Saber, and many other perfectly recreated anime female characters.
They formed a tight circle around Zhang Wei, their eyes filled with longing as they looked at him, each desperately trying to push aside Raiden Shogun and Boa Hancock, who were holding onto Zhang Wei's arms.
This scene.
Made Li Junfei and Fatty's eyelids twitch.
They were genuinely afraid that the movie scenes with '.avi' extensions that flashed in their minds would play out, with the cosplayers kneeling before Zhang Wei, clinging to his legs, and calling out "Master" with desperate pleas.
【Ding! Unknown ghost envy detected.】
【Host gains System Points +100】
On the other side.
The female cosplayers, oblivious to the expressions of Fatty and Li Junfei, were solely focused on Zhang Wei.
Before Zhang Wei and Li Junfei entered, they had clearly overheard their conversation and knew that Li Junfei was an ordinary person. However, this ordinary Li Junfei, empowered by Zhang Wei's saliva, was more formidable than Lin Zhengying fighting ghosts.
Although they hadn't been trapped by the ghost infants for long.
The psychological trauma they had endured was immense.
Now, seeing the efficacy of Zhang Wei's saliva, who wouldn't want it?
If it weren't for the crowd, and the presence of the two extraneous men, Li Junfei and Fatty, and the need to maintain some semblance of decorum, they would have already gone wild and desperately sought Zhang Wei's saliva.
Let alone begging Zhang Wei.
They wouldn't bat an eye even if they had to pay a hefty sum to buy it.
As long as Zhang Wei was willing to sell, they would happily spend money on him, even if Zhang Wei only spat once in their direction.
"Brother, can we add each other on WeChat?"
They pulled out their phones, wishing they could have Zhang Wei add all their contact information.
"Little brother, when you decide to sell, can you call me? I'll be waiting for you."
"Brother, do you have any very close female friends? The kind who can joke around with each other, and would still laugh even if you spat on them? If not, I think I can fill that role."
They vied to speak before Zhang Wei.
They followed Zhang Wei all the way from the second floor to the first-floor lobby.
"What's going on here?"
Zhang Ya's surprised gaze pulled at Li Junfei, who was standing by the side:
"Junfei, are you sure you went to the second floor to kill ghosts and rescue people? Why are they being so solicitous towards Zhang Wei? It's not that big of a deal, he just saved them."
Lin Ping, who didn't understand anime conventions, said strangely:
"Are all cosplayers this enthusiastic? So grateful after being rescued?"
Zhou Xiaoqing also chimed in:
"Actually, more than that, I'm curious why they keep staring at Zhang Wei's mouth. I don't see any food stuck in Zhang Wei's mouth, what are they looking at?"
In response.
Li Junfei didn't know how to explain.
With outsiders present, he was afraid that if he revealed Zhang Wei's saliva could exorcise ghosts, it would cause a sensation and trouble Zhang Wei.
After all, the female cosplayers were the best example.
After thinking about it, Li Junfei said:
"It's nothing, it's probably because Wei Ge sprayed me before fighting the ghosts, and they thought Wei Ge looked cool spraying like that, so they want to be sprayed by Zhang Wei too."
Huh?
Zhang Ya and the others listened, stunned, their expressions peculiar. They instinctively glanced at the female cosplayers surrounding Zhang Wei again.
Zhang Ya couldn't help but ask:
"Junfei, are you sure they just want to be sprayed by Zhang Wei? Not that they want to be friends with Zhang Wei in a more intimate way?"
Li Junfei felt like crying and laughing at the same time. Just as he was about to offer a more subtle explanation.
At that moment.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Zhang Wei walked over.
Li Junfei couldn't help but be surprised: "Wei Ge, you got rid of them? So quickly, aren't they still trying to buy... cough, that from you?"
He said this while glancing at Zhang Ya and the others, feeling embarrassed to say more.
Zhang Wei nodded:
"No, they really want to buy it, but I told them that thing isn't readily available, and I can't just spit it out all the time, it's not a water pipe. I said I'd add them on WeChat for now to get rid of them."
Their conversation made Zhang Ya and the others feel strange.
Did they misunderstand?
Those female cosplayers aren't masochists.
But rather... are they seeking Zhang Wei's 'blessing' for a hefty price?
...
Time passed quickly.
Noon.
In a home-style restaurant in the snack street near the convention center.
"It's a shame, the convention can't open for a while," Li Junfei said with a frustrated tone.
The ghost incident at the convention.
Although Zhang Wei had intervened, and most of the attendees had been evacuated in advance, there were still hundreds of people who had seen ghosts. Besides contacting these individuals for confidentiality, the Ministry of Security also had to investigate the cause of the haunting and track down the situation, which led to the temporary closure of the convention.
Because of this.
Zhang Wei and the others didn't linger at the convention and came to the snack street to eat.
Zhang Wei picked up a piece of braised pork and said slowly:
"Don't worry, the reason for the haunting is related to me. The Ministry of Security doesn't need to investigate, so all that's left is signing the confidentiality agreements."
"I just contacted our class monitor. Besides handling this matter, she also notified Captain Lin. The Ministry of Security has already sent staff over, and the confidentiality agreements should be finalized within three days."
As he spoke.
Fatty couldn't help but look up, his expression strange:
"By the way, Wei Ge, why did you attract so many ghost infants?"
【Ding! Unknown ghost sighs with doubt, what did you do, why do ghosts want to kill you wherever you go.】
【Host gains System Points +80】
Fatty sighed.
He initially thought this ghost incident was a mere coincidence.
Who knew it was related to Zhang Wei.
As a ghost, and a powerful one at that, Fatty knew very well that the ghosts appearing this time were not just random hauntings, but came from ghost factions. Otherwise, so many ghost infants wouldn't have appeared together.
After all, Zhang Wei had already provoked their ghost faction in the Northeast.
Who would have thought.
Zhang Wei had also provoked a ghost faction in Xiamen City.
Thinking of this.
Fatty's expression became even stranger. He recalled that before the tailor had asked him to kill Zhang Wei, he had acted cautiously and investigated Zhang Wei's background.
He remembered.
Zhang Wei was not from a traditional ghost-exorcising lineage, but had switched paths, diligently learning ghost-exorcising techniques for several years, and his first encounter with a ghost was not long ago.
In a short period, he had visited two places and provoked two ghost factions.
If he visited a few more places, would he provoke the ghost factions of those places as well?
It wasn't that he wanted to think this way.
But recalling Zhang Wei's actions and the information he had, he couldn't help but think.
Inevitably.
Fatty couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wei again.
Could it be that you are a lone star of misfortune?
At this moment.
Zhang Wei spoke, waving his hand: "It's nothing, I just accidentally killed a ghost infant, and who knew that after killing the young ones, the older ones would come."
Upon hearing this.
Li Junfei laughed heartily: "It wasn't just the older ones that came, it was a whole nest! By the way, we can't go to the convention today, what should we do later?"
Qiu Xiaolin looked up and said: "We plan to go back."
Lin Ping and the others nodded:
"I thought it would be safer to leave the dormitory, but who knew everywhere we went was dangerous. It's better to stay in the dormitory."
"I feel like following Zhang Wei isn't as safe as I imagined, so let's go back."
"I have club activities to attend to anyway, so I'll head back first."
"Alright," Li Junfei nodded, then looked at Zhang Wei: "What about you, Wei Ge? I plan to go browse some figure shops with Brother Fatty later, want to join?"
"No, I have something to do."
"Oh? What is it?" Li Junfei teased with a chuckle: "Are you going to provoke ghosts again? Wei Ge, I advise you to be kind."
Zhang Wei grinned: "I'm going to find an old man for some tea."
"Where does the old man you're looking for live? Is it close to SM Plaza? If it is, we'll come find you after we finish buying figures, hehe. Brother Fatty still owes us a meal from the dressing room bet, we need to get it soon."
As Li Junfei finished speaking.
Zhang Wei said with a smile:
"He lives in the haunted house."
