Zhang Wei spoke.
As if sensing something, he looked into the distance and saw a car approaching.
Seeing this.
Zhang Wei finished his nutritional drink, threw it into a roadside trash can, and walked towards the car. The car stopped by the roadside where Zhang Wei was.
"Brother Wei, I've rented a car for you."
The car door opened, and Li Junfei got out.
"Thanks."
Zhang Wei exchanged a nod with Li Junfei and got into the driver's seat.
After having dinner with Li Junfei and Fatty, Zhang Wei arrived at the intersection early, not wanting to miss the opportunity for a ghost to appear.
Besides that.
He had also asked Li Junfei to rent a car.
At the time, Li Junfei had asked Zhang Wei why he needed a car to catch a ghost.
In response.
Zhang Wei replied that according to the police information he obtained from the class monitor Lu Lianxue, the truck driver's statement, as mentioned by Li Junfei about the taxi driver, was true. The truck driver had seen a person appear on the road before the accident.
The truck driver had swerved to avoid that person, which caused him to crash into the bus stop.
Because of this.
Zhang Wei decided to drive around the intersection.
After all, the ghost clearly induced the driver to have an accident.
If he didn't drive, and if it was too late and no cars passed through the intersection, the ghost might not appear. Driving himself could prevent this situation and also attract the ghost's attention, making it easier to see the ghost.
At this moment.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Zhang Wei looked at Li Junfei and Fatty, who had taken seats in the back.
"Junfei, Fatty, aren't you guys going back to play games?"
"Go back for what? It's not as exciting as watching Brother Wei exorcise a ghost."
Li Junfei rubbed his hands and chuckled.
"Am I right, Fatty?"
Fatty nodded, "That's right. We can play games anytime, but seeing and exorcising a ghost is a rare sight."
Li Junfei continued.
"Brother Wei, just let Fatty and me watch. We can also lend you a hand."
"Think about it, it's only past 8 o'clock. If the ghost comes too late, and you drive back and forth for more than 4 hours, wouldn't that be drowsy driving? Mr. Lu once said that people must obey traffic rules."
"If we're here, we can take turns with you to prevent drowsy driving."
Zhang Wei teased.
"Really? I don't believe Mr. Lu ever said that. I'll summon him to verify with you."
"Giao, Brother Wei, don't do that. It's late at night, let's not disturb Mr. Lu while he's reading in the underworld."
They bantered and chatted for a while.
Zhang Wei started the car and began driving back and forth on the road.
Time flew by.
They drove until past 10 o'clock.
As midnight approached, there were fewer and fewer cars on the road.
It was at this time.
As Zhang Wei drove past the intersection again, his gaze fell on a BMW that had just passed them.
Although they hadn't encountered a ghost.
There was a new discovery.
"Brother Wei, Fatty, didn't you notice that BMW? It seems to be driving back and forth here just like us."
Li Junfei also noticed the unusual BMW.
Without hesitation.
Zhang Wei decided to chase after it to see what was going on.
On the other side.
In the BMW.
Not only had Zhang Wei and his companions noticed their situation, but the other party had also noticed Zhang Wei.
There were two people in the BMW.
A middle-aged man and a young man, who looked somewhat alike, clearly a father and son.
"Dad, that car is suspicious." The young man driving looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Huh? That car is following us."
"I know, Ah Yu. Slow down and open the windows."
The middle-aged man, Cao Yushan, looked at Zhang Wei's car.
Cao Yushan, an exorcist, was one of the heads of the Weidao Division in the Fujian region.
Recently, his son Cao Yu had followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Weidao Division. To give his son more practical experience, he learned that this place was suspected of being haunted and brought his son to exorcise the ghost.
However, they did not encounter the ghost tonight, but they discovered Zhang Wei and his companions.
Soon.
The two parties met.
As soon as they met, Zhang Wei spoke, "From the Weidao Division?"
In his opinion, the other party's actions were clearly the same as his own, coming to see a ghost. He had been commissioned to exorcise a ghost, so the other party was likely from the Weidao Division, as the Weidao Division was responsible for exorcising ghosts. Once they learned that the car accident was suspected to be related to a ghost, they would definitely send people.
However, Zhang Wei was a little confused. These two people didn't seem to be from the Xiamen Weidao Division. Were they reinforcements from elsewhere?
While he was wondering.
Cao Yushan's voice came.
"Are you from the Xiamen Weidao Division? I am Cao Yushan from the Fujian region Weidao Division. Hand over this supernatural incident to my son and me to handle."
"Hello, Mr. Cao. I am not from the Weidao Division."
"Hmm? A rogue exorcist? That's fine too. Sir, please let the Weidao Division handle this matter."
"Mr. Cao, I'm afraid I cannot comply with that request. I was commissioned by someone to exorcise a ghost, and I cannot just leave."
Cao Yushan's brow furrowed.
"Commissioned by someone? By whom?"
He had seen the information about this supernatural event. Besides the Weidao Division knowing that it was a suspected supernatural event and sending exorcists, there should be no other people commissioning exorcisms, as the victims and parties involved did not know it was a ghost.
"Commissioned by a ghost elder. Mr. Cao, do you know Elder Willow from the haunted house in Xiamen?"
Zhang Wei did not hide anything.
When he had spoken with Elder Willow previously, he had anticipated encountering the Weidao Division, so he had asked Elder Willow if he could mention him. Elder Willow didn't mind; he wanted to test Zhang Wei, not engage in petty theft.
"Haunted house? Elder Willow?"
Cao Yushan seemed to recall something, and his expression changed.
"Are you referring to that old willow tree in the haunted house on Chunhua Road?"
As one of the heads, how could he not know about the old willow ghost in Xiamen?
After receiving Zhang Wei's confirmation.
Cao Yushan felt a headache. It seemed he couldn't drive Zhang Wei away.
Then he spoke.
"Since it's that person, then forget it. However, as a member of the Weidao Division, it is my duty to exorcise ghosts in Xiamen. So, if we find the ghost later, we'll compete based on our abilities."
He did not intend to easily give up the opportunity for his son to gain experience.
"Okay."
Zhang Wei nodded.
Immediately after.
Watching Zhang Wei's car drive away, Cao Yushan said to Cao Yu beside him.
"Let's continue as well. We need to find that ghost as soon as possible and not let the other party get there first."
Speaking of which.
Cao Yushan added.
"Ah Yu, since that ghost was commissioned by Elder Willow to be killed, if you can eliminate it, you might even catch Elder Willow's eye."
"Ah? Dad, that Elder Willow you're talking about, isn't he the old willow ghost you told me about before?"
Cao Yu asked with some confusion.
"Isn't he a guardian spirit? What's the use of catching his eye? He can't help me, at most I can borrow some willow branches from him, and I don't lack magical artifacts."
Cao Yushan patted Cao Yu's head.
"You don't know anything. He was a guardian spirit before, but that might not be the case in the future."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Cao Yu looked surprised.
Cao Yushan glanced at him and explained.
"The recent events in the northeast have made other regional Weidao Divisions vigilant and are preparing to expand their personnel."
"Our Fujian Weidao Division is considering helping that old willow ghost break free from its guardian constraints and become a member of the Weidao Division."
"If you can catch Elder Willow's eye and form a contract with him, or become a partner, you'll have a bright future, understand?"
"After all... Elder Willow is a Ghost King."
